Session #74 – May 3, 1986
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Ida Nevala, Peggy Muldoon, Eileen Horton, Jean Chisholm, Myra Perala,
Bonnie Wisz, Betty Welty, Sidney Smither, Owen Cramer, LaMar and
RetaMae Bell, and Clista Mcpherson.
Plans were made to meet for study and potluck on the 17th. Gloria will be lecturing in
California. After a study session led by Eileen on the Law of I AM. Bonnie led the
opening meditation, and Judith greeted us.
Judith: Good evening my precious ones. It was again with great interest that
we listened to your comments, to your questions, and we are gratified with your
efforts. We trust you shall continue your study, for it is through your focus of
attention that our work becomes completed.
We come this night to discuss the Realm of Ego, to move toward completion
of this portion of your instruction. Time grows very short. As you are witnessing in
your world, events are moving much more rapidly. Our efforts must now be
directed with great pointedness towards completing our mission to record our
teachings in your condition. Thus it is that we must at times skim over certain points
which we would much rather remain with and discuss. It is our sincere hope that
time will allow Sheariam to spend sufficient time with you on the study of the Realm
of Self to enable you to encompass a greater understanding of all of the teachings,
for it is now that you reach the crux of the matter: that point at which all that we
have given before can be applied directly, pointedly, with great focus, into your
conditioned existences. And so let us move to our discussion of the Realm of Ego.
The Realm of Ego is the “realm of boundary”. As the Realm of Soul is the
realm of Intention, the Realm of Ego is the realm of Purpose. An Intention will
create out of itself a number of Egos, each Ego an entity bounded by a Purpose, but,
again, built upon that necessary combination of Sound, Number and Function.
The Realm of Ego is a realm of necessity, a realm of conflict, a realm of
passion. Each Ego has a particular thrust, a particular Purpose to fulfill. As it
moves to fulfill its Purpose, it projects itself into “personalities”, which you are.
Now, Ego does not project itself merely into human manifestation, but also
into all of the manifestations you find in your condition. Thus it can be said that a
flower may have “Ego”. A rock may have “Ego”, but cannot function as you do. It
cannot express as you do. Each kingdom, if you will, finds its own expression in the
Realm of Self within its own established boundaries. “Identity” is one of those
boundaries.
You, as the “human” expression, as a “personality” can understand
“identity”. You fulfill the Purpose of Identification by coming to know those
limitations placed upon you by the Ego which gave you birth. It is true that you are
limitless Life, but at this Omega Point, you are restricted, constricted, into what you
call a physical condition. You have access to limited awareness. You can utilize
limited Consciousness. Although you are comprised of limitless Consciousness,
limitless Volition, limitless “any” Component of the Divine Germ Cell, this
particular focus is limited. As evolution progresses, those limits are expanded. As
you move out of the Realm of Self into those realms which gave rise to you, you re-
enter at what you term “higher consciousness”, which is merely expanded
awareness which allows you to use more of the limitless Consciousness available.
Let us examine some of those boundaries that come through your condition
as Purpose. We have already mentioned “Identity”. Another significant one is
“Conflict – Opposition”. These Purposes are fulfilled and resolved by
“Complementation”. In your condition, it is not the intention that “polarity” be
extinguished, but rather strengthened by union with their opposites. You recognize
this as being Truth when male and female join in common effort. You recognize this
as being Truth in the field of electromagnetism. There is as much attraction as there
is repulsion, and when this state of equilibrium is achieved, you have arrived at
“complementation”.
Another Purpose of Ego is “Conduction”. Thus you have the capacity for
inductive reasoning, abstract thinking, sensitization, empathetic activity.
Another Purpose, which might seem quite close to “Conflict” is that of
“Separateness”. That Purpose of pulling apart leads to many of those situations
which you recognize as “evil”. These are necessary to fulfill Intention. Evolution
cannot process without destruction of structures. So as there are Purposes of
Construction, there must also be Purposes of Destruction. The essential point which
I wish to emphasize is that the Realm of Ego is a “realm of boundary”, of imposed
limitation. Now, for you, since the major flow of life for you is to work out the
ramifications of the Law of Dominance, some of the boundaries which you must
experience have to do with pain, with suffering, with failure, and what are these
polar opposites?
Myra: You mean the polar opposites of pain, suffering, and failure? (Yes.)
Jean: Joy and pleasure would be opposite of pain and suffering, success opposite
of failure.
Myra: Health for pain. Peace. Harmony.
Judith: Going back to the Realm of Soul, taking into consideration the
Intentions given, find for yourselves what would be a Purpose an Ego would fulfill
in Completion and Intention? Select one of the Intentions.
Sidney: How about Dissolution? (What Purpose then might an Ego be created
to fulfill?) Well, that which is not in solution is The Absolute, so I would think the Ego
would be created to somehow kick mankind in the rear end to get them headed in that
direction in Evolution. (Then we have “Ambition”. And you, in your experience, meet
with those who are ambitious, and what is your response?)
Myra: It depends on how they use it. Sometimes we are put off by it, if they are
ambitious to the point of hurting others.
Jean: Sometimes we reward it. (Now here is an example of polarity. Try
another.)
Owen: “Conservation” is one. The Purpose would be to maintain the where-with-
all for continuing physical existence, in at least as good an environment as we have now.
(But does that not extend to increasing resources?) Yes. (So could you not have an
Ego Purpose of “Increase”? And what would be the polar opposite?) Destruction.
(And how do you bring the two into “harmony”?)
Sidney: I presume in the process something would be created that would be
stronger than that which existed before.
Owen: Well, if “Destruction” proceeds to the point where it is recognized that it
has gone too far, and then thinking would swing the other way and “Conservation” would
be something that everyone would accept with great enthusiasm. (In your condition is it
not your experience that the polar opposites tend to be emphasized like the swinging
of a pendulum? So you find those Egos with the Purpose of homeostasis.)
Myra: I don’t know what that means.
Jean: Steady state. (Those who attempt to persuade conflicting viewpoints to
find that common interest which permits co-existence and peace and harmony. How
well do you think you are doing?)
Owen: Humanity in general, I think, takes great delight in pointing out the
differences: why they are at an extreme point of view, rather than trying to come together
and recognize points of similarity and agreement.
Judith: And this is the force which is causing such great distress in your
current situation. There are those forces from what you term “our side” who are
forcing the issue. Thus your nuclear accidents, your explosions. The threshold of
irritability is greatly heightened. You are finding more and more people who cannot
cope and thus must throw off center all that is about them.
As we gave some considerable time ago, you had then about three years in
which to right the balance. Time is running out. By the early months of your year
1989 you are going to witness geological changes as you have no current recollection
for. Those world events with which you are now struggling are only the beginning of
things to come.
We desire not to be doom-sayers, but you have brought this upon yourselves,
and there are too few who follow through with the teachings. And the pendulum has
swung. However, you must continue to exert the force of your minds and hearts to
alleviate as much suffering as you can.
Were the situation completely hopeless, we would cease to come to you and
would leave you to your own devices. However, your condition world-wide has now
reached beyond that point at which we hoped you would have turned some things
about.
This will probably be my last visit with you for some time, as Sheariam is to
follow and take up your lessons. I did so enjoy our previous discussion. I would
invite you to share our time now in dialogue.
Myra: Will you come back to teach us about Ego, or will you leave us with Self?
(Sheariam is going to review all that I have given as she did with the other lessons.)
And then you’ll come back for Self, maybe? (Sheariam is going to take up your lessons
from here on.)
Peggy: We took a Course in Miracles, and as I have it in my mind, in the book it
says that when you get into confusion or problems, it’s usually the Ego that is the cause
of it. And it also specifies that we have to eliminate or rise up above the Ego. Is this
correct? (Semantics are causing problems. The use of “ego” in those particular
works has to do with the word “Ego” as it is currently used in your psychology
today. We use the word “Ego” to represent that Realm of Boundary which permits
you to have separate identities.) This has been such a confusion to me that it has been
very hard for me to explain it to myself so that I know the right way. (You cannot rise
above the Ego of which we speak for the Ego gave rise to you. When you use the
word “Ego” meaning “one’s own self-importance”, then, yes indeed, one must rise
above that concept if one is to truly fulfill the true Ego’s Purpose.)
Owen: Your indication of the big geological changes occurring early in 1989
seems to imply that things have really gone too far now to stop. But can our efforts still
lessen the severity? (This is as I gave. Had we the concept of hopelessness, we would
no longer come. Your Edgar Cayce gave warning that this would happen in 1959,
and indeed, in certain realms of existence, it did. And now it is that the thirty-year
cycle will bring it into physical manifestation.)
Peggy: Is this a destruction of some sort? (Quite so.)
LaMar : Your implication that it would cause this class to cease implies to me that
the group of people within this class will be no longer able to be here. Is that correct?
(Your forces will be scattered.)
Jean: You said we must continue to alleviate as much suffering as we can. My
feeling of that was that each one of us reaches such a little tiny area, how can we expand
that? What is your instruction about expanding it so that we’re not such limited agents?
(You have been told that the power of your thinking takes your thoughts far abroad.
The kindness that you do to your neighbor extends that force to neighbors all over
your world.)
Peggy: Would prayer help here? (Of course.)
Betty: I’d like to ask more specifics as to what we can do in preparation. The
praying: specifically pray for knowledge and understanding? And what else should we
ask for in our prayer? (That essentially, for in the final analysis, each will find himself
thrown upon his own resources. These instructions that we have been giving you
over these past few years are intended to assist you individually to make of
yourselves that island of peace which can transcend any environmental trauma.)
Betty: The next question: Meditate on peace and joy. (And act on peace and
joy: Sing. Dance.)
Sidney: It seems to me that one of the keys is to stop thinking about ourselves, and
start thinking about everything but ourselves. And also that, indeed, it is true that we
caused that accident in Russia. We did. Not just as a country, as the individuals in the
country, I am responsible for that accident. (That is true. As you are a part of all
conditions on this planet, every negative thought that one has joins with all other
negative thought, not just in your physical condition, but throughout the realms. If
you did not give our realm your negative thought, we would not turn it back upon
you.)
Betty: Then what can we do? We were talking about polarities. What can we do
to destroy the negative thoughts? (In your study tonight, you spoke to that very issue.)
Jean: You just said “negative thoughts allows us to turn them back onto you”.
Does that imply then that this destruction that is coming is from the realm you’re in? (It
comes first from your realm.)
Owen: Reflected by your realm? (But more than reflection. It is bent back
upon you, as a light wave is reflected from a mirror.)
Peggy:Is this one of the prophecies that’s been prophesied in the bible? (Yes.
You are seeing the “seals opening”. It sorrows us that this is true. As we have given,
we have been working very devoutly, earnestly, and intensely with many groups
such as yours. But Self has intervened.) (Ed. selfishness)
RetaMae: Will you be going to other groups when you leave us? (I am with other
groups even while I am with you.)
Myra: How about our visualizations and affirmations that you have taught us? If
we could visualize the earth shakings and the destructions that are coming without human
pain, or as much as possible, or the same way about the nuclear war…. If we visualize
President Reagan and Premier Gorbachev and talk to their higher consciousness with our
higher consciousness, it seems to me that could be a really powerful thing to do. (What
you still do not seem to understand is that the chaos within your psyche is the chaos
within your planetary earth. As you worry, as you respond with despair, with
anguish, with agony, your earth agonizes and it writhes in its agony.)
Jean: You said, “make yourself an island of peace” and so that seemed to
answer the other question. We only have so much time in a day, and my question is: “Is it
better to spend that time meditating or being active?” And it seems to me that the answer
must be to balance, to do both. (That is correct. You cannot be at peace without a
balanced period of quiet meditation and active motion.) So then it follows to live each
day the very best we can, reacting with as many people as we can. (“Interacting”, not
“reacting”.) Yes. I meant interacting with as many people as we can, and spend a good
deal of time meditating and thinking. (Particularly meditation upon “Joy”.)
RetaMae: Speaking of joy, I have been awakened every morning for the last couple
of weeks with the birds’ singing very quietly, and I have to listen very closely. I know
that I have heard them before in years past, but it seems that they have been more
prominent. Can you make a comment about that? Is this something to do with what’s
happening? (The birds and the bees and the coconut trees have not created your
nuclear disaster, but they are subject to the conditions which you have created. In
their own way, through their own Egos and Selfs, they are doing what they can to
polarize the situation.)
Peggy: Could you call them our messengers? (After a manner of speaking, yes.)
Bonnie: When you talk about the planet, I have the urge to go therapeutic touch on
a globe. (Very beneficial! Touch the earth. Tell your mother earth that you love her.)
Betty: So one of the most positive things we can do is to live with the joy and to
express that to all...) (Yes.)
Myra: Especially the people.
RetaMae: We have to be happy and contented within ourselves is what they’ve been
teaching us all along. It’s within ourselves. We are the determining factor.
Peggy: We have to be the example that people can see. (It goes beyond example.
You, through your subtle bodies, as you have been taught by Silverthistle, emit
force. You are not a motionless rock on a distant shore. You are a vortex of Life
Force giving off emanations which affect all around you.)
Owen: Could you tell us a little more about the mother earth? You said we should
express our love for the earth. What are clouds, the plants, the birds? Are they part of the
earth or are they separate? The earth is a separate entity in itself? (Is your hair separate
from yourself?) Most of it’s been separated. (Laughter.) (And so has mother earth lost
many of her locks.)
Peggy: Then the basic thing is to give love to earth and everything that’s in it.
(But now more than ever: JOY.)
Owen: Are we then part of mother earth? (Your bodies are.)
Myra: So, when we are with others and we express joy, then we are expressing
joy to mother earth, too, aren’t we? That’s what the Gnostics have been saying for a long
time.(But to alleviate the suffering, you must raise that ordinary concept of love to
its highest expression of exuberant joy.) So maybe when we finish with our studies, we
should have a big party every time and dance and sing. (Every ERT of energy that you
emit in the sound of joy is healing to the entire situation. Recall that time when you
were so elevated in joyful emotion that nothing anyone said or could do could cause
you to take offense or be angry.)
Peggy: Is there any such groups like this in any of these Russian groups or
different communist… (Many, many, many)
RetaMae: I’ve traveled in the USSR, the breadth and width of it, and I found the
people to be not fearful like we are in the U.S. about things that are going on. Is this still
true today, because I found them to be very psychic and very open to things in this area,
and yet not having that fear that we seem to radiate in the states? (There is some fear left
from the Christian indoctrination, but the communist regime has assisted in its
elimination over the past few generations, whereas that is not true for you western
nations.) That was what I experienced, and also in China, the same thing.
Sidney: However, I think I’m correct in saying that they have a great fear of war
based on their experiences of invasion over the past centuries. (That part is true.)
Betty: Am I also hearing that Christianity instilled a great deal of fear? (The
power of Christianity relies upon fear. It is the bloodiest religion of all your history.)
LaMar: Could the fact that the United States is meeting defeat every time it tries to
send a rocket or shuttle into the air be a warning to cease and desist from the plan to try to
get some star wars going? (The so-called “star wars plan” is only a small portion of
the overall picture. But all of these incidents which you are currently witnessing are
indeed those same kinds of signs to nations which are delivered to you as individuals
when you attempt to move in the wrong direction and find doors closed.) That’s what
I thought.
Owen: Is there any reason, because of the shortness of time available for us, to
change our plans for publications that we are hoping to produce that carry the messages
the temple has given us to other people? Should we continue to go ahead with that effort?
(We are attempting to assist you in every way that we can.)
Myra: Boy! I felt it this week. I typed all week long, and I had a wonderful time
writing articles, just copying right out of the transcriptions. There’s some wonderful
things there. Oh, about the news that you gave us tonight, should we put that into the
Cosmic Connection? (We never give anything that is to be censored without making
that statement.)
Peggy: Then that should be the main topic within these newsletters. The world has
got to be more aware, and spread the joy and love. That really needs to be done.
Betty: Could you speak about the “doors being closed” and “meeting resistance”
for growth’s sake. Give us a distinguishing factor or an illustration, please? (Again, that
distinction must be made by the individual as part of that individual’s
responsibility, for there are those who are of the Ego Purpose of Persistence, and
others of Resistance, and others of Submission. But your own Source Group will
give you all kinds of guidance and support and signs from which you may take your
direction. When you find yourselves unable to distinguish these signs, then ask for a
more emphatic sign, and it will be given.)
LaMar: For years now we have been hearing about the fact that the west coast,
principally California and part of Oregon, were on the slippery slide and about to slide off
into the ocean. Do these earth changes we are speaking of now indicate that we’re about
to go for a long swim on the west coast? (It well could result in that.)
Myra: Will there be many people killed?
LaMar: Just a few. Some will swim out.
Jean: You said something about censorship, but you said the power of
Christianity relies upon fear. It’s the bloodiest religion of all history. It seems to me that
if we were to publish that in the newsletter, it would cause so much rejection that we
would be really in difficulty, because many people would just take that and not look at
anything else.
RetaMae: It’s historical fact. I know what you’re saying, Jean, but it’s a historical
fact that it is.
Jean: I realize that, but I wonder, how do you handle that? (That is your
choice.)
Owen: We don’t have to publish everything that we get. There’s some other
things that were intended only for group knowledge, and we would use some discretion.
If our job is to emphasize joy, we’re not going to start calling people names.
Jean: I had a dream. A man was walking along the side of a bank that was on a
river. And the bank was falling. He was pushing down. As he walked he pushed down the
soil, and it almost completely inundated him. In my dream I punned on it and said, “He’s
really involved in his work.” But the significant thing, he pulled out a baby that was also
covered by mud. He thought it was dead, and he gave it to me, and the foot wiggled. I
gave it artificial respiration, and it came alive. I was filled with great joy, and I thought
how happy the parents of this child would be. Can you give me further interpretation
above what seems the obvious of that dream? (It is very personal to you.)
Myra: So it isn’t a prophetic dream of earth changes?
Eileen: At one time you said that those who were meant to survive these
catastrophes would be led in this direction. I wondered if you could expand on that a little
bit. (Remember that the geological changes will not be affecting merely one small
portion of the globe. If it is your destiny to meet your physical demise in a geological
catastrophe, it could happen in the Midwest, in the east, or the Russian front. You
cannot run a way from your destiny.)
Peggy: Does this have anything to do with these prophecies of these earthquakes
that are going right along on the schedule that they have prophesied for? (Your question
is quite ambiguous. I’m not exactly positive as to what you are asking.) Well,
they’ve been saying that these earthquakes are going to happen. (Who is “they”?) These
earthquake people who have studied this.
LaMar: Are you talking about the San Andreas fault?
Peggy: Yes. (That is rather obvious.) Would this be the destruction in some of
that kind of form? (Throughout the world such faults exist. You have chains of
volcanoes. You have areas that are given to certain types of weather configurations.
These changes all occur world-wide. It does not matter where you are. If it is your
destiny, you will be there.)
Sidney: I’d like to respond to what LaMar said a few minutes ago when he asked
the question about many people were being killed. It seems to me that if we’ve been
taught that if the extent of the destruction is up to us, then we can do something about it,
and the number of people who are going to leave their bodies at that point in time would
also be up to us. We can do something about that. In fact, I think that’s the key to the
whole thing. This is an injunction to us to do something about this.
Betty: It seems that even more important than saving the physical bodies is to
prepare for the transfer, because people are so wound up with their physical bodies, and
that’s such a small part of it.
Judith: You must enlarge your thinking. There is not the end of life, but only
the end of a mode of life. If you allow yourselves to be wrapped up in the current
events as though there is nothing to follow, you will have missed all of the point of
our teaching. Your activities, at this time, cannot save any lives which are destined
to come to an end. The pendulum has swung, but you can be effective in creating
the new environment in which human life must live.
Betty: Give us a little more on that please. (Do you suppose that you tiny
specks of dust have the power to disintegrate your planet? Life on this planet is not
coming to an end. Life as you know it is coming to an end. You have destroyed that
environment in which you can continue the evolution of your current civilization. If
you would have a better future, work on the now.)
Owen: To get back to the Realm of Ego, are there more Purposes or boundaries
than the four that you gave us? Are these the four principal boundaries? (These are
merely suggestive. There are far too many to be enumerated in a single
dissertation.)
RetaMae: You made the comment about Cayce and 1959, and then the 30-year
cycle, and ’89 is that year. Now, is there another 30-year cycle after that? (Yes.) And
then another after that?
Owen: Will this destruction that will involve the earth also involve other planets
on the same time schedule? (Not the same time schedule, but they are involved in the
overall development of Consciousness and Volitionary effort.) I believe that you’ve
said before that this also has a tremendous affect on the Spirit-Physical Realm. (Indeed
so.)
Betty: Will this be almost like a cleanse? (Indeed so.)
Myra: So if we practice our living in the seven laws, and we work on not only the
Law of Dominance but the Law of Relinquishment, that will help us actually in achieving
mastery. That is if we can truly relinquish everything with joy and spread the joy and
bring joy to others. (That is true. But remember that your planet has been created for
the purpose of working out the ramifications of the Law of Dominance.)
Myra: We’re here basically to achieve the ability to live in the Law of
Dominance? (To achieve harmony by learning to appropriate that which is rightfully
your own. You discover that by experiencing conflict.)
Bonnie: Judith, I was thinking about the world situation, and I think the most
perplexing thing for us at this time is why the Russians are so reluctant to share
information. Do you have any comments about that? (It is merely a cultural concept
with them, part of that Boundary in the Realm of Ego of which we previously spoke.
It is the existence of Boundary which enables a culture to develop, and it is through
the development of culture that civilization is forwarded, and thus evolution.)
Owen: By the same token, that can go in the other direction. (Yes.)
Betty: Could you please illustrate what you said about the Law of Dominance.
It’s here for us “to achieve harmony, to appropriate that which is rightfully ours by
experiencing conflict.” Could you explain that please? (Can you elucidate one
particular circumstance in your life which does not involve conflict of some sort?)
Not even within me. (Conflict arises as one opposite attempts to take predominance
over the other. And it is in the harmonization of these opposites that the ultimate
working out of the ramifications of the Law of Dominance will occur in this
condition.) And submission for the sake of harmony is not always appropriate then
either. (Quite so.)
Myra: Would you say even sometimes it is important not to contribute to more
conflict? (Quite so.)
Betty: What test could we use on ourselves at that time to find out if it’s
appropriate. I was reading somewhere that when everything is joyful and moving along,
theoretically everything is OK. But that is not necessarily so, then. We’re not necessarily
experiencing the Law of Dominance if we’re just moving along. (You cannot sustain
that high elevation. There will be something which exercises dominance upon you.)
Myra: And the conflict that results can be an opportunity for us to grow. (Yes.
You can grow through pain and suffering, or you can grow through joy. But you
must have both.)
Jean: And the key to it is to be an island of peace through it all. (Yes.)
Myra: You do this with awareness? (Yes.)
Sidney: Well, with peace, then, that allows us to be balanced in each area of
conflict. Is that the idea? (Yes. You cannot escape conflict so long as you are focused
into this condition. But realize also that parts of you are focused into other
conditions that are not working on Dominance, but are working on some other law.)
Like Illusion or Relinquishment? (Yes.)
Eileen: Usually in the face of disaster, people become closer and they pull
together. In the face of this coming disaster, if it should come, wouldn’t it be possible that
the barriers between nations would be broken down, and there would be a very peaceful
feeling of cooperation around the world? (The barriers will be broken, whether in time
for something to be left to harmonize itself remains to be seen. Life will spring again
upon the planet. You will return in another condition or shape or substance.)
Betty: You are saying, then, there is a possibility of complete annihilation of
human life. (As there has been in times gone by.)
Myra: When we come back to the planet earth, is it likely that we’ll remember
the lessons we’re learning now. If we learn them well? (If you take to heart our
teachings, there will be among you those who will bring the teachings down as the
teachings have been brought from the past.)
Eileen: And would the evolutionary process have to start all over again? (In
certain instances, this could be true.)
Owen: Would that be on an individual basis? I’m not sure whether I mean Self,
Ego, or Soul basis. On what basis would it start over again? (It would start in the Realm
of Self, for it is Self which is destroying Self, not Ego destroying Ego.)
Betty: Some say that there are a lot of Atlanteans back, having experienced the
destruction of their continent and trying to change things. (But there are also those who
are contributing to it.) Those Atlanteans? (Yes.)
Eileen: That would be some of the same ones perhaps who contributed to the fall
of Atlantis? (Yes.)
Betty: Are we here in this room most Atlanteans. Is that true, Judith? (Yes.) Did
we know each other then? (For the most part.) Hey, guys, we didn’t get it right then,
either. (Laughter.)
Eileen: Well, we were the good guys.
LaMar: At one point I had mentioned that it seemed like I had known this material
before, and this was verified. I’m learning over again. Was it a catastrophe of some
nature that wiped everything out, and that is the reason I’m back learning this again now,
and that the group is back learning this? (As is true of many)
Betty; Is there anything that we can put in our consciousness at this time to retain
as much as we can of this teaching so that we don’t have to start again from base one as
we feel we are doing? (That awareness that you can.)
Peggy: Doesn’t that always stay with us? (It did not from before.)
Eileen:Wouldn’t it be in the cell memory somehow? (The cells you wear only
have the memory of this condition. They do not have the memories of your Air
Bodies, or your Fire bodies, or your Water Bodies, only your Earth Bodies.))
Jean:Can you talk to us more about joy? (Joy is that elevation of mind and
heart which is impervious to attack by another’s disappointments, or angers, or
hostilities.)
Betty: We were talking earlier about emotions and the appropriateness of them,
or letting other’s attacks go right on through. Can you tell us a little bit more about
emotions? What are appropriate? How should we handle those? Should we seek to be
purely objective? (Objectivity is the opposite of subjectivity. You must find a meeting
of the two. Emotions come from subjectivity, detachment from objectivity.
Understanding is the result of the two coming together in harmony.) Then it’s how
we use the emotions rather than letting the emotions rule us? (Precisely.)
Myra: Well, if we choose joy…. Joy is a very positive emotion. There are many
positive emotions that we are striving for. So many of us don’t allow ourselves to have
emotions, and the negative ones oftentimes crowd in on us when we don’t choose them,
or maybe we do choose them. But I think that the positive emotions like happiness are
emotions that we have to choose.
Sidney: It almost seems like the most positive is subsumed under Joy.
Owen: What does that mean?
Sidney: It means that if you are joyful, the other positives almost automatically
follow suit.
Betty: But even the recognition of pain moves us from inertia.
Jean: As I was driving along today, I saw how beautiful the earth is right now,
and how beautiful the sky was, and I felt great joy again and again. Every vista gave it to
me. I made a card picture of that to carry with me to pull out when I need it. Can you tell
other techniques of moving into joy? (Through the affections for your loved ones, that
sense of pride in their accomplishments. There are so very many, it is difficult to
choose without being limiting.)
Myra: I remember the night I went to the hospital with my hip fracture. I was on
my way to X-ray when I remembered to give thanks for all things. And so I said, “Thank
you, God. Thank you. Thank you.” I did feel a sense of joy even though I was in horrible
pain. And I have since then been very, very thankful that this happened to me, because
I’ve had great time to myself. So I’ve sensed the sense of joy that’s been much deeper
than I’ve had in years past. (This is something one must pull out from the withinness.)
But you choose it. “I Will…”
Jean: And that goes contrary to the Christian religion which is making a virtue
of suffering. (Yes.)
Eileen: The cross to bear. (Remember that the cross reversed is the sword of
war.)
LaMar: When we just heard, as Myra referred to the hip fracture as “my hip
fracture”, did she not then claim that as hers? (Yes.)
Myra: Oh, it’s going away fast. I’m having a great time getting well.
Judith: Let us pull ourselves together then for a healing meditation.
Relax those muscles which hold your head erect, which tighten across your
shoulders, and down your mid-back. The temple healers have chosen to come at this
time to give you a very special treatment. And for you to benefit to the greatest
extent, it is important that your shoulders and necks be relaxed. Allow your head to
sit gently upon the column of your neck in line with your spine.
As each of you is approached by a healer, you will feel a slight pressure on
the very mid-top of your head as the healer opens the channel through that crown
chakra to allow an in-pouring of some very special Cosmic Force. You can assist in
the process by visualizing a column of amethyst light coming from some reaches
above and entering that mid-point of your head, and channeling down your spinal
column.
This amethyst light carries with it a defense mechanism similar to your
antibiotics, similar to the action of the iodine, that will assist your physical organism
to resist the effects of the radiation recently set free in your atmosphere. Allow the
amethyst light to move throughout your spinal column, fully, effectively, until you
feel a warmth at the base of your spine as the light stimulates and impregnates the
kundalini.
Now the healers tell me you have had sufficiency, and they are closing that
chakra so that you shall remain within the protection of that amethyst light. If you
wish, you may now invite your loved ones to join you. Those who do will also be
served. (Many names softly spoken.)
And now, even as your loved ones are being served, there are those in realms
above who are bringing down to you a great shaft of golden light which they bring
into this circle as an inverted pyramid. That light is your defense from the outside
even as the amethyst light is your defense from the inside of your physical organism.
As often as you think of it, take from that shaft of golden light and surround
yourself with it, and automatically those who are in your immediate vicinity will
benefit from that protection.
You cannot, however, take that light and deliver it to anyone else. You may
only appropriate for yourselves and your immediate vicinity. That light is a
permanent gift to this group and to those loved ones who have answered your
invitation. Move into that golden light and dance and sing with great joy of spirit.
Use the memory of this meditation as a prompter for you as you go your own
ways. Release your loved ones to return to themselves. Accept the blessing of the
healers. And now, until we meet again, I bid you, beloveds, go in peace.
Closed with “Let there be peace on earth.”
