Session #63 - November 16, 1985
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Myra Perala, Peggy Muldoon, Jean Chisholm, Sidney Smither, Bonnie
Wisz, Ida Nevala, LaMar Bell, Richard and Mary White, Owen and
Maxine Cramer.
Following a pot-luck dinner, LaMar led a study session on the Law of Relinquishment,
and we made a brief review of Number, Sound and Function. Richard presented the
opening meditation and we opened with the usual singing.
Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. We appreciate the new
perspective. (Furniture arranged so that no one is farther from the circle center than
Gloria) This arrangement does bring greater balance into the energies of your
group. So we meet once more to discuss the formulae. What thoughts have you given
to our request? What thoughts would you share?
Maxine: I thought about them, and I thought “How do I associate with them every
day? How does this associate with my life every day?” It seems to be important to me
that it must apply to my everyday life. So as I can make it seem plausible for my
everyday life then I can see a purpose and put it together. (Did you arrive at any
conclusions?)
Well, I don’t know. When I thought about Sound, I thought sound is creative. I
was thinking “perceiving or creative”, and I thought that sound is really creative because
there are all kinds of sounds. (This is true.) And so I thought of Number as being of the
Perceiving Mind. I always think of number as a quantity, as I perceive it. Do I have a
little or do I have a lot? I would say that would be more of the Perceiving Mind. How I
figured it out was how it makes sense to me in my everyday thinking. (That is all we ask
of you. But that is a great deal.)
Myra: It sure is. I tried to think of these three formulae and the Components that
come from the Divine Germ Cell and how they affect me and how my life is affected by
them. I’m having an awful struggle to make it be a part of me. I can verbalize the words,
but it doesn’t seem to become a part of my consciousness yet. Maybe if I meditated, that
would help me. (We have not finished our discussion. That will enable you to better
integrate this information. But we wanted you to work upon the ideas. We wanted
some effort on your part.)
Owen: It seemed to me that the formulae of Number, Sound and Function, which
were the primary factors in the formation of our physical existence and surroundings,
define qualities, Number being the orderliness of whatever is formed, the orderliness of
atomic and nuclear structure, the symmetry, bilateral symmetry of the body and the radial
symmetry of many things that all permit a mathematical description or an orderliness that
can be described.
And the Sound is the emission, that fact that all things are living and giving off
some kind of emission. Anything that exists gives off sound in some form.
And the Function is the action factor. These things don’t just exist and emit. There
are forces involved and dynamic life that keeps them moving. And that is Function as I
perceive it.
Jean: Adding to that, so many things are in crystals, and they are definitely in
numbers. And the Volition is there. We have two kinds of thinking where we have a
physical cause for a physical event, and that goes with the Perceiving mind. And then we
have thinking where we make things because the Quality they have, color and place and
time and quantity. And that goes with the Sound, the Creative Mind and the
Consciousness.
Sheariam: You are doing quite well at giving my lecture for this evening. We
would speak to you upon one subject not yet touched with any great depth. That is
“Intellect”. So far, we have conveyed to you a mechanistic view. Intellect comes
through the Divine Germ Cell Component “Consciousness”. Thus Intellect lies
within all things. But it takes Volition for Intellect to be expressed.
It is the interaction of Consciousness and Volition which enables the
fashioning of Thought. Intellect is not Thought. Intellect might be said to be the
capacity to fashion thought. But Intellect is contained within Consciousness. Do not
confuse Intellect with Mind. Mind uses Intellect. Intellect is only part of
Consciousness. As previously given, in the Divine Germ Cell lie two Minds, separate
from Consciousness.
Now, in the Realm of Spirit, the Formula Sound permits the gathering of
“erts”, that emanation of The Absolute that comprises the matrix of all creation.
But Sound without Number is diffuse, has no form, has no direction. So the Formula
Number provides form, direction, constitution, discrimination, purposefulness. In
the Formula Number is found the possibility of dimension. You recognize dimension
in your physical world as height, length, and breadth. This gives form to the matter
of your world.
Now, Formula Function is that which establishes how that Sound and form
will express. In some realms the same combination of Sound and Number, that same
form, may express in a thought which manifests then as a table. But in another
realm it might manifest as an horizon, or a line in still another.
Thus it is that we cannot describe to you manifestation as it stands for us.
You can only understand manifestation in your realm and understand
manifestation in the higher realms through these formulae. The concept of “no
dimension”, which is representative of The Absolute, is truly beyond your
comprehension. But it is one way of making the statement of limitlessness, of
causelessness.
It is the Formula Function which gives rise to the Qualities you experience in
the Realm of Self as Mankind, Animal, Plant Life, Mineral etc. There may be the
same Sound and Number form, but when Function makes determination, that
Sound-Number may appear in your Realm of Self as a diamond. That same form
may also appear as a beautiful rose. It may also appear as a beautiful person, and
all, in actual reality, is the same Sound-Number combination.
Formula Function gives times and place and expression to Sound and
Number combinations. Thus the flow is channeled into what you term abundance
through these three elemental formulae. Sound gives unity. Number provides
objectivity and division and gives character. Function puts it to work.
Now the Adam Kadmon is that archetypal being within which lies all the
potentials of your realm. All Sounds, all Number, all Function, is there present, and
arranging themselves into the manifestations which you experience. It is in the
action of Number that there is division. The “Allness” becomes manifest through the
manyness. It is this bestowal from the Realm of Spirit to the Realm of Mind that
Number serves as the agent for what you call the “Fall of Man”.
In the Realm of Spirit all potential is still unified. But in the Realm of Mind,
this creativity becomes identified no longer the unit or a monad, but a “one”
expressed in “many”, or the “duad”. The order of the Cosmos and the harmony of
the Divine are carried into all of your experience through Sound and Number. The
application of the universal unity comes in Function, so that your rose serves as an
important and meaningful expression, as does a human being. As you contemplate
the fact that all things in your expression are comprised of the same things, you
must then recognize that everything is due its respect and rightful heritage.
This should give you some greater understanding of the Law of Dominance.
You have no right to declare what expression something other than yourself should
be. It is your right to determine what functions serve other functions. For instance,
your food chain. It is appropriate that you eat portions of your expression as those
portions also assimilate other expressions.
You have been given that everything is existent in cycles. It is important that
the cycle of functions be continued in proper balance. This does not mean a static
state of existence. Spirit means “to spiral”, or “spiral of the breath”. Thus there is
that continual evolving. There is the constant change which is growth. It is in the
Formula Number that the geometry of growth is provided for. Sound itself would
not grow if it were not combined with Formula Number so there are multiplications.
The Law of Reproduction can only function in your realm through the Formula
Number. The Law of Harmony functions in your realm through the relationships of
Sound-Number forms with each other.
We are aware of the puzzlement in your minds. We will, at this time,
entertain questions, and go forward with the Realm of Mind next time.
Owen: Could you give us some examples of these relations that you are giving us
a kind of a framework for?
Sheariam: One such relationship is “appreciation”. It has been proposed by some
of your thinkers: “Does sound exist when a tree falls in a forest and there is no ear
to hear?” Yes. Sound exists, for Sound is the tree. Sound is made form by Number,
and the “tree Quality” is determined by the Formula of Function.
As you relate to that tree, you may say, “That is a dead tree, therefore it is of
no use.” But it is of use. As it decays, it provides shelter and food and nurturing for
any number of life forms. You have another alternative, to utilize that fallen tree
either in your building or to provide yourself with warmth. In either case, the tree
does not perish without appreciation, which means increase in its Quantity of
Quality. Simply because it no longer stands upon its base rooted in the earth and
continuing to grow in size does not mean that the Consciousness contained therein is
no longer growing. As that fallen tree serves its purpose, it stands in relationship to
the life forms which use it in appreciation. When that tree is simply transmuted to
ash to get rid of it, it is denied its existence as a Quality tree. This, then, diminishes
its expression to which it was given right. The same is true of your body. As you
have been told before, cremation is inappropriate in the cycle of life.
Myra: This information you’ve given us about the formulae is the bridge between
our study of the Realm of spirit into the Realm of Mind. (Yes.) And you said that these
three formulae are the main basic building blocks of everything in the planet earth. (Yes.)
Would this be for the whole universe or the solar system? (All of the physical
expression.) And you said that all of the Components of the Divine Germ Cell are
included in each of the three functions, but the major would be the three that you named.
(Yes. Thus there is intellect in all.) But basically, Intellect would be mostly in Sound,
but it is also in the others, too, because it’s a part of Consciousness. (Yes.) Would
Creative Mind go along with Intellect also? (Creative Mind uses Intellect. Inherent in
the existence of anything lies Intellect. Consciousness is present.) And Consciousness
is an aspect of Intellect, or the other way around? (The other way.)
Sidney: I have a question on our bodies after we have left them. In terms of
appreciation of Quality, does it then follow that the current trend for utilization of body
parts for the aid of other life is a positive trend? (Not always, because the
consciousnesses involved are not always in accord, and thus you have rejection.)
Myra: And when it doesn’t reject, then the consciousnesses would be more
compatible? (This again is why the artificial heart causes such problems to the body
into which it is inserted. The consciousness of the various organs of the body contain
Intellect, and there is communication. When an “artificial” consciousness is
inserted, the Intellect is different, and thus communication is blocked.)
Jean: Can you say something more about Intellect? I almost got a vision of it,
but didn’t quite get it. (Intellect is that knowingness, that essential knowledge of
purpose. Each cell, as it is formed, has that intelligence within, that knowingness,
that causes it to be a part of what it belongs to. Thus the aggregation of “erts”
formulated by Sound, Number and Function knows within itself that it is to be a
rose rather than a heart.) Does this apply only to living things? (No.) It also applies to
soil, to rock? (Those are also living.)
Maxine: Does my intellect have an effect on my big toe? (Yes. But your big toe’s
intellect has an effect on you.) Which dominates? That’s the problem, is it? (The
dominant is that with the greater portion of Volition. You, as an entity, have greater
capacity to act independently than your toe has. Your toe can only act in accord
with your Volition.) You’ve given me an awful lot to think about. (Good!)
LaMar: Then if we have a problem with some part of our body, we actually have
the greater Volition, and therefore can, I guess, “heal” is the word I want. (Influence.)
Influence the healing? (And that influence can be healing, or it can be sickening.)
Then if we allow our mind to dwell on the problem, we are simply giving the problem
more Volition. (You are giving the intellect of that portion of the body the direction
to exercise its smaller Volition towards being ill.)
Maxine: But is it not true there are some things we can just ignore and they can
become worse? (You do not ignore them. You simply repress acknowledgment of
them.)
LaMar: That is, we repress acknowledgment of the problem? (Yes.)
Myra: So if we use our intellect to deal with a problem consciously, we will have
more power to eliminate that problem? (Of course.) I have found at some times in the
past that when I ignored a problem, consciously ignored it, it has gone away because I
consciously ignored it. So I suppose it would depend upon the kind of problems we are
dealing with. You have to decide whether a problem is the kind you can ignore
purposely. (It depends on whether you are ignoring it or relinquishing it.)
Sidney: If self-mastery involves all awareness of that which is within and without,
or consciousness of all, then I presume that also involves communication with All
Consciousness. Therefore, #1: One could consciously communicate with one’s big toe so
as to set it right, and #2: One could consciously communicate with body parts whether
they be from your own body or from another’s body to gain a sense of oneness with those
body parts, could one not? (To #1, Yes. To #2, in certain instances. Some
consciousnesses will never find a common denominator in your expression.
Remember the discussion is of this physical realm.)
LaMar: How does this apply to karma? If a person had a big toe that was giving
them problems as a result of some situation in a past life that was karmic, or in the case of
my neck that Silverthistle told me was a problem from a past life, does that increase the
Volition of the big toe or the neck to give you problems? (Yes.) But if your work at it
hard enough, you still have the greater Volition, so that you can help bring about the
healing. (Yes.)
Jean: In the Law of Dominance, you said no one has the right to declare what
another should be, only self. I’d like a little more clarity here. You went on to say that
Function, or it sounded to me as if this was saying that we have roles to play, and in those
roles we outline the duties of other people, and that is proper. (Within certain
limitations that is true. There are those conditions within your Realm of Self which
require leadership, which require hierarchy of power, but the Law of Dominance
must be exercised properly in those relationships.)
So then we get into the idea of “space”. (Yes. “Space” is part of the interaction
between Formula Number and Formula Function. Number gives dimension;
Function gives the size of those dimensions.
For instance, in order to build a room you must have four corners which
gives you the floor. Let us look at this as building with sticks. If you place two sticks
at right angles to each other, and a third stick upright at the joint, you have a
corner. If you place four such corners together, you have an enclosure without a
roof, a top. Function may determine that this enclosure remain without a top and
become a corral for animals, or it may determine that a top be laid and that space
be allotted to a living room.
So Function determines cubic space; Number determines that the space shall
have form. Do you see the difference? In that way, Number establishes purpose, in
this case purpose being enclosure. Function establishes what shall be enclosed, or
what the space shall be utilized for.)
Owen: I have trouble distinguishing between Function determining what space
shall be utilized for, and purpose, which is Number. Isn’t the purpose for the space what
it will be utilized for? (No, the purpose is enclosure. You may enclose people or land
or a tree or a mind or a thought.) [Function is multi-dimensional, Number specifies the
dimensions].
Sidney: A while ago I understood you to say that purpose is determined by “erts”
that compose the cell. I presume, then, that with a larger entity, it would be a combination
of the “erts” and all cells that contribute to the purpose. Going some steps further, to us,
as human beings, our ultimate purpose is, of course, self-mastery. (In this realm.) In this
realm. And yet, and I presume that every lifetime we have some purposes that supposedly
are designed to lead up to that inevitability, hopefully, and yet they don’t to me seem
obvious. I find myself questioning my purpose for this particular lifetime. Am I just not
listening to what my purpose is? Is it very obvious but I’m not hearing? Is that possible?
(Remember that Number demands objectivity, and Sound is the subjectivity.
Very often humans listen to themselves but cannot see themselves. You must do
both, and then you must find those parameters established by the objectivity given
under the Number Formula. Then observe what happens within those parameters to
understand purpose.
For instance, some things are quite obvious, as you pointed out. The purpose
of eyes is mainly to see with, but as Silverthistle has taught you, there are other
purposes fulfilled, when the true function of the eyes is understood.)
Maxine: You’ve given us an awful lot to think about. (Good!)
Myra: It’s really a new kind of thinking for me. It’s much deeper thinking than
I’m accustomed to doing. (It will not hurt you.)
Bonnie: I still have questions about trees. Trees have so much more purpose. It
seems they still have a lot of purpose after they fall. Where, after our bodies fall, there
doesn’t seem to be a lot of purpose for them. (But there is. This is why we protest
cremation. You deny the fulfillment of that purpose. Your bodies are comprised of
the earth substances even as the tree. Even as the tree, fallen, provides nourishment
for life forms, so does the body provide nourishment for life forms until it is recycled
in all of its elements. This does not happen when bodies are put into cement caskets
or burned.)
Jean: How should the body be disposed of? (In the simplest way possible for
its decaying processes to go forward.)
Myra: So a wooden box is the best. (Exactly.)
Sidney: I always thought it would be nice, after reading this from previous
transcripts, to just have my body placed up on a mesa on a very hot desert plateau until it
was gone. Is that appropriate? (The Indians have done that for centuries. Many
civilizations understood the importance of returning this shell to the substances
from which it came.)
Myra: And our “high” civilization decided better. (Yes.)
Maxine: I believe there are rules that keep one from burying bodies in the earth
without a container. (You have brought this to pass in your civilization.)
Owen: I still have a little trouble with recognizing why cremation is not recycling
the physical elements of the body back to the earth systems for re-use. There is no actual
destruction of matter. There is conversion of compounds into other compounds that are
made available. The ashes are frequently just scattered, and the gaseous material goes
into the atmosphere and is rained out into the soil or into the ocean where it can be put to
other uses. I can’t see where the problem lies with cremation.
(The interruption of the food chain. The animal world supplies its function to
the food chain. Only mankind has removed his bodies from that cycle.)
Myra: So, in other words, as the food chain is denied the elements of the physical
body, that is harmful to the food chain? (It is harmful to the processes of the evolution
of your earth.) So it is the earth evolution rather than personal evolution that is harmed.
(Yes.)
Sidney: Does this also contribute to starvation in the world. Is it mankind’s choice
by doing this that leads to some of these other…. (Yes.)
Jean: What happens to the person who is cremated? What happens to that
person’s evolution? (One answers for all of one’s decisions. If you make the decision
to cremate the body, then at some time in some place in some condition, you must
serve as a portion of a food chain.)
Voice: A bear might eat you.
Jean: In Oregon I believe that it is not possible to just simply be buried without
embalming and so on. How can you get around that? (We do not suggest that you go
against the laws that you have created. We are suggesting that as you evolve upon
this planet, you bring back the balance of Nature. It cannot be done in your life
spans, but if you do not begin to change the consciousness, ultimately you change
many things for many. As you fail to replenish your planet in the natural cycles of
replenishment, you cause your planet to die, and thus you cause your solar system to
die, and thus you cause your galaxy to die. You change the course of all things.)
Maxine: I have a question about cremation. What if a parent has a child cremated?
(Then the parent answers the karma. Karma is created in the decision-making
process. You do not do anything by accident. You choose.)
Peggy: What happens like when a man dies on ship and they just put the body
over the side?
Sheariam: Isn’t that wonderful? You think that the mass graves of the Nazi
concentration camps were so disgraceful. There are many forces at work to preserve
the ongoing scheme which you, in your limited understanding do not see as being in
accord. Do not mourn for people who left life in that way. Suffering is, of course,
appalling to you, and you are required to develop compassion. In your compassion
you change the consciousness that gives rise to those who inflict the suffering. But
these things that affect large numbers of people are by way of, what might be called,
Divine Intervention, which is not actually true, but is a fulfillment of the
combination of Sound, Number and Function which brought into being the systems
of planets.
The Formula Number is that which provides systems, schematics, plans, and
there are plans, schemes and intentions far beyond your gasp. We attempt to help
you achieve personal self-mastery within your limited arena of influence, because, as
demonstrated before, your small arena of influence ultimately affects Allness. You
are part of the Manyness expressed by the Allness.
Myra: I was thinking of the many thousands of people who died in Colombia this
past few days, and I was thinking about those people who are buried in the landslides,
and wondering if this would be part of what you just said about mass graves. Would this
be similar? (They have given their bodies to the replenishment of Mother Earth.)
Was that a karmic thing that happened? (Yes. They chose to make their amends in that
way.)
LaMar: Did they choose to live there at the base of that volcano for that purpose?
(Many of them did.)
Myra: Of course, it would be an unconscious or subconscious choice. (It was
conscious in the Realm of Ego.)
LaMar: Were those of them who were in that mud slide but survived, the ones who
were not supposed to have gone at this time? (They, in some way, have already fulfilled
the demand of their Karma, of that portion of their Karma.)
Peggy: Could this thing happen like here with us, like if Mt. Hood or some of
these mountains…. (It has already occurred with your Mt. St. Helens.) Yes. I know,
but Mt. Hood. (If you are asking me to predict an eruption, I refuse to do so. We
have told you time and time again that the physical events around you result from
Consciousness. If there are sufficient numbers of you who have accomplished your
Karma, and your choice was to be where there was such a disaster as in Colombia,
then you would avert the disaster. Thus we encourage you to shape your
Consciousness towards peace.)
Myra: So, signing the petition like the one we did tonight to Bishop Tutu would
help? (If it was done in the consciousness of freedom and peace. Signing for the sake
signing does not accomplish the task.) So it’s our consciousness that makes the
difference.) (Yes.)
Sidney: Also, I would like to think that, going back to the bible statement “Resist
not evil”, that signing with counter proposals in mind, such as hating the people that
made derogatory statements, would also have no effect, or maybe even counterproductive
effect. (Counter productive effect. Correct.)
Richard: Our thoughts should be, “Let them work together for peace”. (Very good.)
Mary: Sheariam, I have a question about the mass graves. I’ve never been there,
but I have read that people who have been there have had the feeling like there is a pall
around the place. They feel that it is from the horror of the people who died there that
lingers on. If it were their Karma, and that was the way it was supposed to be, is that
true? Is there something there, something negative in that area? (It is not the horror of
the victims, but the horror of the living who put that thought form there.)
Myra: So actually a person could be a victim in that kind of surrounding and be able to
relinquish the body even joyously and not be horribly affected by it then? (Certainly.) A
prisoner in a German concentration camp is quoted as saying, “Every day you don’t
know whether you’re going to live or die, but you can choose the way you react to that
possibility. (Correct.) So he really reached the state of relinquishment at that time?
(Yes.)
LaMar: Actually for the most part, by the time the body is to be given up, that
person has already left, so they don’t actually realize. Is that correct? (That is usually
true. Your ghosts are people who have not given up the material realm.)
Myra: So maybe, in connection with Mary’s question, if, say at Dachau where
thousands of people died in the gas chambers, if there is a pall there, could it be because
of the people who didn’t relinquish? (The pall of which she speaks is the thought form
of the living. There is no question but what there are those who are still clinging to
the earth through their hatred of their tormentors, not through the loss of their
body.) And those dead would not be affecting earth? (Not with the pall of which she
speaks.)
Jean: Are they affecting the people and their effect on the people producing the
pall? (Yes, of course.)
LaMar: The person that was there feeling that pall was probably contributing to
the pall itself. (Yes. Instead of being receptive to the impression of the thought form,
there should be blessing and congratulations to the earth for its rejuvenation, for its
replenishment, that it shall again be happy.)
Myra: That the earth is happy to receive these many bodies? (Yes.)
Bonnie: Is there a good purpose in visiting a place like that? (Only if you wish to
change the consciousness of the earth, but if you go to feed upon the horror and the
memories of the tormenting, you add to the negativity. Part of the Law of
Relinquishment is forgiving and forgetting. The mantra that “This must be
remembered” is very poor practice.)
Jean: I don’t understand that last statement.
Richard: “Remember Peal Harbor” for instance.
Sheariam: The determination must be that consciousness shall evolve, that such a
thing shall not happen again. But recounting the details of suffering, in recounting
the details of fear, of hatred, of resentment, of being offended, you increase the
damage done. You do not repair.)
Myra: What you said about not letting it happen again, seems to me, to be the
primary purpose of it, to know that this is something that we would never allow to
happen again. (It will happen again until each of you individually raise your
consciousnesses and thus cause the raising of consciousnesses around you, going out
in every increasing rings. That is your only salvation. Otherwise you are exercising a
negative aspect of the Law of Dominance. You are saying “We will not allow these
people to do as they are guided to do.” What you must do is change their
consciousnesses so that they will not use their Volition in that manner.)
What a job. How do you get someone else to change this consciousness? Only by
changing our own? (That is the point. It goes beyond being an example. You share
certain bodies. You share in the Realm of Mind. You share in the Realm of
Creativity. As you think, so you influence the way others think. Your thoughts are
borne by Consciousness.)
Peggy: Then our thoughts go up into the atmosphere and others pick it up. Or we
pick up some from our highest. (You missed the point. A peaceful person can walk
into a crowd on a street corner, and as the crowd becomes rowdy, so does the
peaceful person turn rowdy. This is a physical influence. How can we make you
understand that? (Given very emphatically).)
Myra: A peaceful person entering a rowdy crowd is more apt to become rowdy
than to have the crowd become peaceful. (Correct.) Even no matter how powerful his
consciousness is to maintain his peacefulness? (We are not trying to establish criteria.
We are trying to make a point. If enough of you are peaceful, the rowdy cannot
make you rowdy. If enough of you support life, bless the planet, there cannot rise
among you another Hitler. As you are self-serving, as you seek to achieve from this
life, to extract from this planet only that which serves your own selfish purpose, so
you permit such a one to gain power.)
Sidney: I’d like to ask a question on your statement concerning it is our obligation
to…. I don’t remember what the word was, but I’ll say “teach” humanness to those
physical realms lower than our own selves. I can see how this might be done through a
communication with their consciousness. But what other ways can this be achieved? And
specifically, what is our obligation, and what other means can be utilized?
(It goes back to appreciation. As you become aware of value which lies in
Formula Number, so you tune in to the intrinsic intent or invisible principle which is
in the Formula Sound. Thus you increase the fulfillment of that item’s function. As
a plant is admired for its beauty, or is assimilated into the body as a nutritional
ingredient, you assist in its quantifying its Quality. As you preserve those portions of
your planet on which natural wild life can maintain its natural cycles, you are giving
those life forms the opportunity to quantify their Quality. When you chop them up
for shoes or fur coats, you are denying them their rightful heritage for personal
selfish reasons. Apply this principle in every aspect of your life.)
Owen: With that illustration you mentioned preserving portions of the planet in
their natural condition. Now, if trees or animals are raised purposely for our utilization, is
that also a negative action? (Not at all. The Function there is to serve that purpose,
and you appreciate the fulfillment of that Function, thus enabling that particular
Sound-Number form to express its Function to its greatest potential.)
Sidney: Then the way in which we teach them humanness, or involve them in
humanness, is by investing our humanity in their purpose? (Yes.) So it doesn’t, per se,
have anything to do with the trend towards communicating with plants and
communicating with animals through our consciousness? (Of course it does. As you
communicate with those plants that you ingest, you enhance their nutritional value
to your body and assist them in quantifying their Quality.) And if we communicate
with these before they have reached the state where we are ingesting them, then we are
better able to understand their purpose? (Yes.)
Owen: Silverthistle gave us a meditation at the healing retreat to commune with a
tree. Is this following along the lines that you’re indicating? (Yes.)
Myra: And then you spoke about appreciating the natural state of, say, a region,
to try to allow that area to maintain its own cycle. Then this is a way to enhance the
natural purpose of that particular area? (Yes. As mankind has utilized this planet, this
life expression has reached a certain stage. And this cannot be turned backwards in
time. You must do now the best you can with that which you have created. The
natural balance has been changed and a new balance established. You have the
choice of that balance being changed in an every-increasing spiral towards
extinction. Or you can change that balance in the direction of growth and
perpetuation. Whichever you do, you influence all else. Thus it is, we encourage you
to protect and preserve, and appreciate so that there is a future opportunity for
those who are now looking towards that future.)
Owen: To change the subject, are there any words of advice or comment that you
have on our open meeting which we will be holding in two weeks? (Proceed as we have
given instructions. We have nothing special at this time. If something should arise,
we shall inform the channel in some manner.)
Myra: So we are to continue to cleanse the area by our meditation before hand
the same as before? (Yes.)
Richard: Sheariam, I have two or three questions that come out of our work with
the workbook pertaining to our work on the laws. One is: Clarification of the meaning of
the term “subconsciousness” in terms of your definition, I guess. (We would ask that
answer be postponed until we deal with the Realm of Mind, which is coming upon
you shortly.)
That sets aside two other questions. I have one left then that deals with the Law of
Illusion. Since this seems to bring about imperfection, why have it? It seems as though
the Law of Illusion becomes a stumbling block for us. (The Law of Illusion does not
produce imperfection. Imperfection is only a perception.)
Jean: I was trying to think of the exact wording, because I got from it that the
Law of Illusion explained why there was imperfection. To me it kind of took the place of
the Devil or the “Fall of Man”, or explained how, or accounted for how, the perfect world
became imperfect. But I can’t think exactly how that was stated. I think it was something
like “The Law of Illusion was imperfection”. I got a different picture of it. (The Law of
Illusion refers to the fact that nothing which exists can be total Absolute. Thus all is
illusion, since only The Absolute is reality.)
But that still doesn’t explain imperfection. (Imperfection is in the perception,
not in the reality. The imperfection appears to you because you do not see the
completeness. Imperfection only appears because what you see is only a portion of
the whole.)
Well how does this explain the horrible crimes and some of the vicious murders,
etc. I can’t see how that can be perfect even if you saw the completion. (Because you do
not see where those activities, those functions, belong in the overall picture. You see
them as offenses against society. Society is not the whole picture.)
Owen: Is the Law of Illusion then something that we use to help us interpret and
understand what we observe rather than something we invoke? (Yes. You do not invoke
the laws. Do not be confused. You function under those laws.)
Myra: But we invoke the archangels.
Richard:That’s a big difference. You invoke a change of your response to the laws.
(Yes.)
Myra: When we first learned about the laws, it seems to me you instructed us to
invoke them. (If I did, I certainly used the wrong words.) I think it was before we
learned about the archangels. (Perhaps. You apply the law. The law is the law.)
Owen: I’ve forgotten exactly what the remark was made in relation to, but you
mentioned that the Law of Gravity, as we know it on earth, is not the same as the Law of
Gravity that operates in other parts of the universe. (You misunderstood the question.
Go back and study the question. We meant to give you an example of a law which
applies to your planet as opposed to a law which applies to all realms, not
specifically gravity. That simply was an example.)
Then when you said “planet”, that really meant “universe”, at least with respect to
gravity because gravity would be the same in our universe. (No. Gravity applies to
physical bodies in relationship in space. Universe includes much more than that.
Universe includes the Realm of Spirit, the Realm of Mind, and on down. Only the
Realm of Self involves the physical bodies you call planets.) I was thinking strictly of
physical universe.
Richard: We’re too imbued with the idea of universe being simply what we can see
with our telescopes.
Myra: Instead of the Realm of Universe. Could I ask a real quick question?
Would you like to say anything especially about Halley’s comet that’s coming? (Not at
this time.)
Bonnie: Sheariam, I want to express my appreciation for our meditation that we
had the last time. I really gained a lot from it. (You are most welcome.)
Myra: We also would like to express appreciation for the support you have given
Gloria at this time. She is having a rough time.
Sheariam: We are gratified at your awareness. Let us then move to our closing
meditation.
Settle your bodies and allow the discussion to drop from your conscious
minds into your memories. Focus your attention on the palms of your hands. Feel
centers of energy like pools of hot liquid in the cups of your palms. As though your
palms do indeed hold a hot liquid, allow that heat to permeate the flesh of your
hands, to move up your arms, and into your chest area.
From there let it spread throughout the rest of your body until your body is
thoroughly warm through and through. As this warmth moves through your body,
once you have become thoroughly warm, direct that warmth to any portion of the
body which needs to be realigned, re-attuned, or reaffirmed. As you focus your
attention upon that portion of the body, you will feel it become very warm.
Now as you heal yourselves from within, the temple healers come close,
placing their hands upon your invisible bodies in those areas which pertain to that
portion of your ailing. Thus is set up a response, a pulsation, as you feel the heat
from within meet the heat from the healer’s hands.
To complete a circuit, the healers place the other hand above your head, and
you will feel a drawing from that portion of your ailing body up through your head.
The healer’s hand draws forth the discomfort, the symptom. As that is withdrawn,
the other hand assists in the reorganization, the re-attunement, the reaffirmation.
Now in the next few moments, the healers will be releasing, bringing their
hands together above your heads, pouring out into you their blessing and love.
Receive the healing with a willing heart. Accept the blessings. Express your
gratitude and appreciation to your healer.
Again, now let the warmth congregate in the palms of your hands. As all of
us from the temple do the same, we allow that warmth to become a blessing of
healing, and in a process similar to evaporation, we allow that warmth to move up
from all of us to form a cloud-like formation in the atmosphere. Put your love and
your blessings into that cloud-like formation. Include your thoughts for peace and
for harmony.
Invite your loved ones who will to come and partake of that cloud-like
formation for their own healing. (Many names quietly spoken.) Now the healers work
with those who have chosen to come. Bless them and give thanks.
Now the healers bless them and allow them to return whence they came, and
ask you to join them, to direct with your thoughts the cloud formation to surround
your planet, to make available to all who would wish that same blessing and healing,
love and peacefulness.
As you now return the focus of your attention to yourselves in this room,
know that the thoughts of peace and healing continue to bless those who will accept.
The healers and other members of the temple, moment by moment, continue to
reinforce the work that you do.
Now with our blessing, we bid you good night until we meet again. Go in
peace.
Closed with “Let there be peace on earth.”
