Session #58 – August 31, 1985
Open Session
Present: All regular members except RetaMae Bell and Larry Horton. About eighty
guests.
Opened with a guided meditation given by Bonnie Wisz and group singing ‘Open My
eyes….”
Joshua: Blessings to you all, and I welcome you this evening. I am Joshua, a
member of Gloria’s spirit company. I come to talk to you this evening about your
entrance into the new age. It has been a matter of great concern to our channel that
much is occurring that is misunderstood, that engenders fear and confusion. You
are, indeed, on the edge, on the threshold, of the new age. And what is this new age
into which you are being tumbled willy-nilly, uncertain, uninformed, and many
unaware?
Contrary to what has been propagandized, it is to be an age of genuine
affection. The word “love” is bandied about, misused and abused, misunderstood. In
the preceding 8,000 years, religions have been structured based on the theory of
love. Those religions have led man to kill his brother. That is not love. One does not
take up arms to propagate one’s belief. One must BE one’s belief. If you are truly to
live in the new age, you must carry in your breast true affection, true kinship, true
concern.
You live in a physical body which subsists at the behest of certain systems:
glandular, muscular, skeletal, energies, thoughts, emotions, but little is known of the
connection between the pineal gland and the gonads. The atavistic (throwback)
nature which has evolved over the last 25,000 years is still basically motivated by
gonadal energies. In the Age of Affection, these energies shall be raised.
You are witnessing terrible things in your social lives today, among which is
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, which you call AIDS. This is one of the
fulfillments of prophecy. This is not due as a consequence of sin. This is a
consequence of radiation. Your bodies are now in the process of mutation. In the
new age, you will live in new bodies. These physical bodies which you think you
know so well will be very different. The exterior configuration will remain very
much the same, but the sensory systems will be different. The glandular systems
that sustain the physical body will operate differently.
The consciousness which activates the mental bodies and the emotional
bodies will operate from a higher level of understanding. The atavism that motivates
man to war fades as you come into the dominion of your lives. You come to
understand what supply is truly all about. And it no longer becomes necessary to
steal your brother’s money, to covet your brother’s wife or your sister’s husband.
There will no longer be “yours” and “mine”. It will be “ours”. What one has belongs
to all. And what all have belongs to the one. This is the true meaning of the Age of
Affection. This is not communism. This is not socialism. This is none of the “isms”
with which you deal today.
But over the next 2300 to 3000 years, the human condition will evolve into a
quite different thing than it is now. As you came out of the mists of time, many
thousands of years ago when you lived in a highly flaturitic (? Could not distinguish
the word on the tape) watery atmosphere, you have come through the Age of Fire,
and you are going into the Age of Air, where the body will be an air body, physical,
substantial, but unlike that which you know today as a physical body.
The laws of physics also will be different, for your physical world will be
different. Each of you, in your individuality, is a token of the pathway to The One.
You came from The One Source, and you return to The One Source, taking with
you your Spirit, the growth and the knowledge gained along the way. This is the
meaning of the new age. You cannot enter The Oneness, the Unity of The All, so
long as you remain separate from your brother or your sister, so long as you are
yourselves isolated, separate, apart. During the last 2000 years, during the Age of
Pisces, you have lived through an age of confusion, of emotionalism, of separatism,
of domination, of greed and lust. But it has been a necessary step in the evolution of
the human condition.
What you call sin is only separatism. It is seeing yourself cut off, burdened,
buried in misery. In the Age of Affection, you will enjoy that, for the tempers will
not be angry; they will be joyful. Disposition will not be considered, for you will not
know grumpiness.
Intention is important. You must know what your intention is. You must
learn what you are about. The Age of Affection will be an age of intellectual
consciousness. It will be an age of knowledge, not the knowledge that enables one to
set one’s self apart, but the knowledge that allows all to live in peace and harmony
together. This is not going to be easy to achieve.
You are now entering that period of time which is similar to the period of
labor involved in birth. There will be convulsions of people, of society, of the
climate, of the solar system. It has ripples that go on and on and on beyond your
comprehension. There will be black times for some of you, for as your consciousness
is focused into the material world, into survival techniques, you will lose sight of the
ultimate goals, of the purpose of your suffering. The more you cling to your
wherewithal, the more fearful you become of losing it, the more certainly there will
be some force that separates you from it.
There are those among you who will answer that guidance that does deliver
you physically into another geographical area. For as the mutation occurs, and you
develop the body in which you can survive, that body will be safeguarded by those
from our side. And those whose consciousness does not allow you to survive will not
answer that call. You will be busy at home boarding up your doors, protecting your
food supply, cutting yourself off from your neighbors out of fear. Each will do in his
own way what his own consciousness dictates him to do. And we from our side do
the best we can to give you guidance and support. This is why I come tonight.
I came recently into the life of Gloria, for as a dedicated channel, she has
offered us her skills, her life, to spread this message, to be an effective tool wherever
she can. Thus it is that Jonathan and I stand on either side, to be with her in all
times of trial, of error, and of terror, to be a resource for her as she fulfills the
mission for which she came into this life.
Each of you has similar support systems. Each of you has people like me who
are with you, guiding you, supporting you. We cannot interfere with you. We cannot
take from you your power of choice. We can only urge, suggest, and protect when
we are allowed. It is to our great delight when one of you recognizes us, when you
call upon us, for without your call we cannot work for you. Each individual alive on
this planet today has the psychic capacity to tune in to us and to receive that
guidance that will put that person in the right place at the right time with the right
attitude and the right consciousness.
This goes beyond healing of the physical body, but that is important too. You
can be effective in the new age in an imperfect body, even as people have been
effective through the last 2000 to 25000 years in imperfect bodies. It is your
intention that is important. It is your courage, the willingness to look forward, your
unwillingness to wallow in errors of the past, your self-acceptance. Real love begins
with you in your love for yourself, in your self esteem, in your regard for your
accomplishments, in the integrity of your confidence. People who know themselves,
who accept themselves, are the makers of the new age.
When you criticize another, you criticize yourself, for what you find fault
with in another is what you have shame for within yourself. For you each seek to
find verification of yourself in others. The Law of Dominance is misused when you
live in an egotistical way. Egoism, you must have. Without ego you are not an
individual. But when the ego becomes egotistical, you get into the conventions of
warfare. You get into covetousness, into greed, into jealousy, into competitiveness.
One of the things about this great nation is its emphasis upon
competitiveness. That is why there are those like myself who have joined the people
great influx of such as I, for the time grows very short. You are already witnessing
the fulfillment of prophecy. You are witnessing what St. John spoke about in his
Revelations. You have opened Pandora’s box of the new age. Until you develop the
skills to use those tools properly, you will use them against yourselves.
You must direct your attentions to transcending the carnal desires, to rising
above the negative thoughts of fear. When you feel fear stirring in your breast, stop,
think. What is it that you really fear? Is it truly the situation, or is it loss of egotism.
Is it loss of material property? Is it loss of power? What is it that you really fear?
And then act with courage, not out of the confusion of fear. The new age is an age of
knowing; the old age out of which you pass is an age of feeling. You must begin to
work from the stance of knowing, and not from a position of feeling. Know what you
know with all of your being, whereas you feel what you feel with your emotional and
desire bodies.
Give us a chance to work with you. Let us help you over the threshold into
the new age. Study the information that is brought to you. There are many, many
channels today bringing through this information, stressing the importance of
affection, of love, of living in peace, of living in harmony, if you would live in health.
Let me advise you, too, that the new techniques of healing being brought
through the channel by Silverthistle are not being brought only through this
channel. There are others. You will find the source of knowledge that is most
suitable for you. But these new techniques are techniques for living, not just healing.
We speak in terms of healing because you think in terms of imperfection or
maladjustment, imbalance, and disharmony. But as you move into the new age, and
you live in new bodies, you must have new techniques for living. These techniques,
which we now call techniques for healing, are techniques for living in the new age.
I will now entertain questions at this time of you wish.
Bonnie: How do we become spiritual without trying to be spiritual? (You already
are spiritual. You are a spiritual being that has elected to enter certain conditions
which are commonly referred to now as lower conditions. This is inappropriate. You
are already a spiritual being. As you raise your atavistic consciousness into an
affectional consciousness, then you come into the knowledge of your spirituality.
You do not develop spirituality. You already are spiritual.
Rick: Does the will of all of us in sharing love in this life now affect the
outcome of the hard times ahead?
Joshua: Most certainly. If that were not true, there would not be people like
me who come to work with people like you. It is intention that is important. Even
those who do not survive physically, if they enter into the intention of purifying the
human condition, of attaining that degree of transcendence which enables
humankind to live in the presence of each other in peace and harmony, that
contributes to the ultimate outcome for all the inhabitants of the planet, all the
inhabitants of the solar system, all through the galaxies, and on and on.
Corbin: When you speak of having new bodies in the future, do you mean
reincarnation or changes in our present vessels?
Joshua: Changes in the present body which you now inhabit. Mutation is now
going forward. Genes are becoming mutated. The bodies acquired by newly born
infants and their indwelling entities are becoming different. If you observe what is
happening, there is that immediate response to a different-looking form in the
human condition to say “That is a different child. That is a retarded child. There is
something wrong her.” You must begin to look at these new children coming in not
as deformities of the traditional form, but mutations in process.
You, as adults will find that your own physical organisms are changing. This
is why cancer is rampant. It is an effort of the consciousness of the physical cell to
become mutated. If you will work with your bodies to accept these mutations, to
work with the environmental impactions which are bringing these things about,
your consciousness will help this physical change. You will find your bodies lasting
longer. Those of you who survive the next ten years will look back at the body that
that you would understand.
Julia: Given that cancer is so common now, is it appropriate to undergo current
cancer treatment that is now available and to pursue cancer research, or do we allow these
mutations to go unchecked?
Joshua: Human consciousness must do as its conscience dictates. You have a
medical community because that is what the evolution of human consciousness
demands. We are not advising that you not take current medical belief in certain
treatments. We are saying: do not accept that as adequate, now that you know there
is a purpose behind the appearance of this disease. When you know why, you can
work with it in consciousness to allow that new body to develop. We do not deny the
efficacy of current medical treatment. But those of you who in the future may be
told that you have cancer cells in your body can deal with this situation in a much
different manner than in the past.
You will recall that I told you earlier, the last 2000 years have been years of
fear and confusion. When now you are told of the cancerous condition, your
immediate response is fear. It seems a great deal to ask of you to not meet the
situation in that light. Work on your consciousness that you can meet any situation
without fear. What do you fear of cancer? You fear the loss of the physical
organism. But that is no tragedy. You are much, much more than that physical
condition. So take to yourself that which the medical community offers you if that is
what you need to allay your fear. But once fear is conquered, move on into the new
treatment. Move on into making that new body for yourself.
Maryellen: Do we go about making that new body for ourselves through all aspects of
the physical, mental, and spiritual, through diet changes, through meditation. Are these
some of the tools that you’re speaking of?
Joshua: Indeed so. Utilize every tool that comes your way, but be discerning. I
speak of the condition in which I dwell as being one supportive of your condition.
But be aware that there are those in my condition who are less aware than you are.
Be sure that the contact you make is truly right for you. Remember, as I advised, we
cannot interfere with your lives. We cannot demand your time. We cannot demand
your attention. We cannot command your strength. We cannot interfere with your
sleep. We cannot interfere with your work. We can in no way demand of you. If that
is happening to you, then you’d better check into what’s going on, because those of
us who love you will regard you tenderly. We want you to have your rest. We want
you to enjoy a full life. We want you to be healthy and happy, centered and at peace.
We cannot take over your lives.
But use meditation. Use contemplation. Allow yourselves freedom of your
thoughts. Do not continue to pollute your mental and emotional atmospheres with
the technology available to you today. Allow yourselves time to be away from
telephones, from televisions, from radios, from stereos, from the pollutions of
society, from the pollutions of aggregate consciousnesses. If you work, you know
that you need time away from the people with whom you work. If you are at home,
you know that there are times when you must leave that home and expose yourself
to other experiences. But keep your atmosphere clean. Keep your environment clean
and unpolluted. You have no need to run to those kinds of entertainment which
arouse the emotions, which arouse the atavisms within you.
There is abroad in your society today a practice of arousing fear and fright
as a means for seeking that peak experience, that plutonian experience. The thrill
and joy of transcendence through meditation and contemplation can take you into
realms which no drug could provide for you, whether it is a chemical drug, a sound
drug, or an emotional drug. As you seek the spiritual path, you come to know that
spiritual being which you are. It isn’t a case of becoming spiritualized. It’s a case of
remembering who you are.
Is that in that person’s life a necessary step like an initiation, or is initiation sort of like
raising their consciousness?
Joshua: Remember that the circumstances of your life are the result of choices
which you have made. One is not willy-nilly plunged into any situations which are
not the result of personal choice. Regard every experience as a learning experience,
as an experience which is intended to direct your attention to the real you. If you
allow your attention to be captured by pain and suffering, then that’s where your
consciousness remains also. Regardless of circumstances, you can transcend into
another realm of experience which decreases the importance of what you see as pain
and suffering and allows you to become sufficiently detached and objective about it
to understand why you chose to experience it.
Linda: In trying to attune myself to the Age of Affection, I find that I feel fear
and dislike for those people who call themselves “fundamentalist Christianity”. What is
the proper way to regard these people?
Joshua: You must recognize that these people have built themselves a prison.
In the same way that you regard anyone who imprisons himself in any situation
whether it is an emotional situation, a social situation, or a belief system, you must
recognize that is where they choose to be. It is not necessary for you to be there.
Consequently, you have no need to dislike them. Everyone is functioning at that
level of comprehension to which his consciousness allows him to aspire. If you accept
yourself and if you love yourself, you will find no necessity to dislike or be affronted
by anyone else’s belief system.
Kate: Many people who are channeling today are talking about major earth
changes coming. Do you see that in our future, and how do you feel about that happening
with so many nuclear missiles planted in the crust of earth?
Joshua: Yes, as you have been told before by the Temple Teachers, there are
great geological changes now shaping up for this planet. And as I spoke earlier,
some of you will be taken to those areas where survival of this physical body will be
possible. The weapons which have been fashioned out of the nuclear age are simply
a demonstration of the level of consciousness which you have now chosen to govern
this nation and other such nations.
But there is a peculiarity about the human condition which science has not
yet been able to resolve. This is the wheel of synchronicity. There is that link
between intellects that when a thought arises in one place, it arises in many other
places simultaneously. This carries through to the thought processes which you
entertain. If you have thoughts of peace rising within you, you can rest assured that
thoughts of peace are rising in many other places simultaneously. This is not solely a
metaphysical fact, or what one might say, a spiritual reality. It has basis in the
physical laws of your planet, and the physical laws under which the various parts of
you develop and grow. If enough of you enter the intent of peace, you can influence
even the geological changes.
Myra: Linda spoke about the fundamentalists. Their thought today seems to be
intent on promoting the idea of Armageddon, and it seems that this nuclear madness
that’s taken hold of our world seems to promote that very thought by fundamentalists, not
only Christians but Muslims. That wonderful thought that you gave us just now, that our
unity of consciousness can bring peace: Could it truly be that thought could overcome the
madness that the fundamentalists seem to be promoting?
Joshua: Indeed so. You must understand that Islam and Christianity come of
common roots. The Law of Dominance is prevailing in the negative side. Much of
the consciousness there feels the need to bring Armageddon about to support their
Armageddon. The prophecy of the New Jerusalem is that humankind will develop a
new body in which to live. That is your city. It is not a city which you build on a
mountain or a plain or a river delta or beside the water. It is the new body of which
I spoke earlier. The New Jerusalem is your body in which the raised consciousness
will find itself living in peace and harmony and glory.
Peggy: Joshua, did I understand you to say that these experiences that we are
hearing about now, all these accidents, is this the beginning of this new change? (It’s not
the beginning. The beginning occurred long ago, but it’s in the process, yes.)
Rick: The next ten years being critical with the possibilities of earth changes and
war and such, how best can I or all of us prepare to be a part of the new age, or should we
seek to know whether or not we will be needed in the new age?
Joshua: It is not for you to determine that. Your responsibility lies in the now.
It is for you to determine that your intention is for peace, that you, from within
yourself, determine to live in peace and harmony, to take no affront from anyone, to
entertain no negative thoughts of another’s person, action, way of life, or level of
consciousness. It is for you to become self-accepting, to know that all of your world
that you need lies with you. This sounds separative, but the more the individual
becomes self-accepting, the more one finds acceptance of the other person and a
oneness of understanding and knowledge which enables the individual to be
independent of what another has or what another thinks or feels or does.
This is why it is so important to understand the roots of your fear. Examine
what it is that you are afraid of and begin there to live in confidence. When you live
in confidence, you are not affronted that someone does not agree with you. You do
not fear loss of what is yours, for if something is truly yours, no one can take it from
you. Those who plan to enter the new age, those of you who are young enough in
your consciousness today of what your life span will be, need to focus on your
intention, not on where you live, what you eat, how many miles you run; but you
must focus on your intention, on what you think, what you want your future to be.
That is what you now must be.
Sandra: The American Indian right now feels a great need to share a message with
us. Could you say something about that to us?
Joshua: The American Indian, as he exists today, has a great deal of pollution
in his consciousness. When he lived free on this land with his own kind, his growth
was in harmony and in balance. But it was in the nature of human consciousness
that outsiders would disturb that balance and bring disease, bring belief systems,
and change the red man’s way of life. There are among those people a few pure ones
who have sustained their purity of thought and consciousness. They have much
wisdom which would benefit all of us to share.
As I spoke earlier, meditation and contemplation ae necessary. But what do
you contemplate, and what do you meditate upon? Such people as the red man’s
Shaman can give you thoughts of theirs which you can take into your meditation
and contemplation and enrich your lives and assist you in cleansing yourselves.
Kathryn: I would like to know how we can guide and prepare our young children at
this time.
Joshua: By teaching. By actually allowing them to teach you. A child is totally
self-accepting until parental guidance teaches the child not to be self-accepting. A
child is very often heavily influenced by the parents of his peers more than by his
own parents. A child is unaware of differences until he is taught that something is
different than himself, or that he is different than something else.
Encourage a child to be open and accepting. We understand the social
condition today that endangers your children. It is for the parent to provide
protection of the physical organism, to see that the child is never exposed to the
dangers of kidnapping or molestation. But in all other ways, allow that child to be
open and trusting and self-sufficient. Listen to your children. They bring great
wisdom and knowledge to you. The children that are being born at this time are
bringing with them not only the physical bodies, but those mental and emotional
and vital bodies that will be the vehicles in which to live in the new age.
These children are coming with great affection. Do not kill that affection with
rejection. Be demonstrative. Allow your children to touch you, to hug you, to be
close to you, and allow yourselves to be close to them. Let them get to know what the
human organism is in all of its facets as they explore their own organism. And let
knowledge of salvation to the human condition.
Owen: You mentioned that we should attempt to get away from the technology of
our society, yet so many of us seem to be, you might say, somewhat enslaved by
television. And television is an instrument that seems to focus human thought of
thousands maybe millions, of people simultaneously on frequently rather negative ideas.
Could you comment on the power of this as a thought generating mechanism and upon
what we can possibly do to make it a more positive influence.
Joshua: A television set is merely an inanimate object through which
information comes by one’s own choice. If you make the choice to enslave yourselves
to an inanimate object, then you must bear the consequences. You must, of course,
keep yourself apprised of what goes forward around your planet in order to keep
your intention clear and focused. But do not allow yourselves to become emotionally
involved in what that inanimate object witnesses for you. Be discerning in how you
use this tool for your own use. But also take advantage of it to formulate the
intention of peace and harmony. It is just a tool.
Ira South: Could you give us some more meditations that we might use in our daily
lives to prepare ourselves?
Joshua: A common practice in your metaphysics of today is to prepare certain
groups of words to be said or to be read or to be thought upon. Your life is a
creative reality. If your intention is pure, people such as I will deliver to you those
thoughts upon which you should meditate. Be creative in your lives. Be independent
thinkers. This is one of the reasons that you chose to incarnate in this nation. You
are propagandized, as are people all over the world. But you have the unique
consequence of this nativity to voice your disagreements, to think and live in the
style which you choose. It is improper that you use stereotypes in your meditations.
Choose a principle such as truth or love or purity, harmony, balance, mercy,
wisdom. Focus your attention on that, and let your own consciousness and your own
psychic contacts guide you in the thoughts which you should entertain.
Kate: There has been a lot of witnessing to UFOs flying around this particular
planet. Can you tell me what they have to do with any future changes on the planet?
Joshua: I would be very happy to answer that question except for the fact that
we are limited here by time and by energy. That is a question that would take
months to answer. I would just simply say at this time that indeed there are vehicles
of an unidentified nature, but many of the sightings and much of the belief of today
is misguided, misunderstood, and misrepresented.
Owen: At the risk of pursuing that further, could you say categorically that these
are positive, or are they of a negative nature?
Joshua: You cannot categorize them in that way. Again, “intention”.
Remember that you are dealing in human consciousness. And human consciousness
is abroad elsewhere besides on this planet. And human consciousness is imperfect
consciousness. So you must examine intention, as it is that you must keep your
channels clear and your motives pure. As you know, in your daily lives you must
deal with the negative emotions and thoughts of neighbors and friends and co-
towards it, and it must cope with them. You also know that you have neighbors and
friends and family who are not negatively oriented towards you. Thus it is the planet
also has friends and neighbors and family involved. But this discourse would take
Myra: Could we ask that someday in the near future we could learn more about
Joshua: That is inevitable in the teachings of Judith and Sheariam.
It would seem that the level of energy in the room is diminishing. It is time
for a closing meditation.
If you would come with me on an imaginary walk. We’ll ask you to settle
your bodies in such a way that you can take your attention away from them. Be at
ease with your bodies. Allow your bodies to relax. Allow your breathing to be
regular, and be at peace within yourselves. At this moment you cannot solve
tomorrow’s problems. You cannot correct yesterday’s errors, except in
consciousness.
So, at this time drop from your thoughts concerns for yesterday or
tomorrow, and visualize for yourself a pleasant meadow. A little mist rises from the
ground. If you reach forth your hand you can feel the dew upon the grasses. The
bushes tremble in the dawning light of a new day. The light beckons you to the east,
and you feel welcome, happy. Rising joy brings a song to your lips. You step gently
for the earth is alive beneath your feet.
The song of birds joins your song of joy. The melody becomes enhanced by
All of a sudden, you realize that you are one. You are the bird. You are the
are Nature. As the sun strengthens, the warmth draws away the mists. The grass
a visible form, luminescent. You become aware of strong ties of affection, and you
know that you are precious, that you are beloved, that you are special. Nowhere on
earth, in any condition is there another exactly like you. You are perfect just as you
are. You are the perfect out-picturing of a Divine Idea.
The radiance of the form within the light wraps you round about. You feel
permeated with the strength of the light, you experience pure love, and you become
like the light bulb as the electricity is loosed into it. Once having experienced the
purity of the light, you cannot do other than radiate that love wherever you go,
wherever you find yourself.
Now, as you draw away, and you come back to the earth in time and space,
you bring with you that luminescence. You radiate that love. And wherever you go
and whoever you meet must recognize that divinity that radiates from within. This
radiance goes beyond any system, condition, thoughts, and emotion. The spiritual
essence that is you cannot be dimmed, cannot be quenched.
And as you bring your attention back to this room, back to the people who
surround you, you become aware of their radiance, and they become aware of
yours. And as a group, that radiance extends beyond this room, and the intention of
truth and peace and harmony moves throughout the planet on the wings of your
thought. And so, you are blessed. You bless your planet. You bless your neighbor.
You bless me, and I bless you.
Beloved, I bid you go in peace. Let that be your parting for all at any time.
go in peace.
Closed with singing “Let there be peace on earth.)
