Session #77 – June 7, 1986
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Ida Nevala, Myra Perala, LaMar and RetaMae Bell, Owen Cramer, Sidney
Smither, Clista McPherson, Jean Chisholm
Session was preceded by study of the realms led by Myra. Opening guided amethyst
column meditation led by Owen.
Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. It is with great joy I return to you.
I have been busy studying, preparing for this next round of talks. (“We’re very happy
to have you back.” Members introduced themselves around the circle.) And so, Judith
has brought you through the Realms to the Realm of Self. Here your study truly
begins, for it is with the target of self-understanding that you enter this study, that
all that has gone before will serve your self-understanding.
You do not even know whereof you are comprised. You do not even
recognize parts of yourselves. It is hoped in the time to come as we study together,
your self-understanding shall increase, that you shall become powerful lights in
your world, a world that is sick unto death and needs you desperately. In her
dissertations Judith has not gone into detailed explanation, but as we discuss the
Realm of Self, these details will come forth. For it is in your understanding of the
Realm of Mind, Soul and Ego that you will discover yourselves.
Within each Realm there are nine, what you might call, states of being, levels
of function, conditions, spheres of experience. There is no single word to describe
that which I strive to explain. It would serve no good purpose to attempt such
explanation of those realms above the Realm of Mind, inasmuch as those levels or
planes of being would be completely beyond your grasp, but that of which we speak
hereafter should all be within your grasp, for it is you.
Let us begin with the Realm of Mind. Spirit has endowed Mind with these:
Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Inquiry, Grasp, Reason, Reverence, Fear and
Prudence. Among these nine you recognize states of your own Mentation. In states
of Fear, you wish you had Wisdom. In states of Inquiry, you seek Knowledge. You
Grasp or comprehend through Reasoning. As you can see, these States of Mentation
are not separate from each other, but indeed are inter-dependent, and at some time
in your lives you will experience all of these to some degree.
As your lessons have gone forward in the study of the Realms, it has been
very easy for you to slide into the misconception that the Realms are distinct and
separate from each other, when, in fact, all are living beingness in varying degrees
of expression. Each lower realm cannot exist without all of that which went before.
And as the Realm of Self evolves, all realms above grow, become. None of the realms
is static. We have given our best effort to describe them to you as they are in
relationship to you, which is relative. There is only one Absolute. All else is relative.
And you can understand only that which is relative to you and to your existence. As
you evolve, your grasp, your experience, your expression, your manifestation will all
serve to assist you in understanding those realms still above you. It is man’s
salvation that he is a creative creature, gifted with imagination in order to grasp
some inkling of the reality of the realms above. This you do through what we might
call a Principle of Corollaries.
In the great Hermetic Wisdom you are given, “as above, so below”. By
corollary, then, you can make an assumption that “as below, so above”. But this is
only partially true, for as you grow, so you also design that which is above. We in
our condition exist as we are because of what we have been, because of what others
have been, because of evolution of planets such as your earth. As you creatively put
elements together in different forms than have previously been developed, so you
enhance or destroy those conditions into which you shall move. Individuals such as I
are experiencing the results of our actions, our creativity, our imaginations, all of
the activities projected out of the Realm of Mind through its nine states of
Mentation.
You have those same things with which to work, but your knowledge is
greater, for your experience is greater than was ours when we were in your
condition. It is true, there have been civilizations upon your planet much advanced
in technology from where you now find yourselves. These civilizations were much
more well-informed as to the constructs of space and that which occupies it. While
you may seem to be in a state of ignorance, nevertheless, you still have access to that
gained knowledge. It lies within your power to put that knowledge back to use to a
much better end than last it was used. Those who shall follow you upon this planet
will benefit from your progress.
In the intervening time between this lesson and the next, we ask that you
examine these nine levels or States of Mentation. Apply your Perceptive Mind.
Apply your Creative Mind to develop a synthesis of what this knowledge can mean
for you. For it is in that understanding that you can become more in tune with the
multiplicities available to you. This is the springboard for you to become informed,
knowledgeable of the multi-dimensional selves that you are, for you to reach toward
those other realities which are available to you, and to more fully use your mental
capacities.
In each manifestation on your planet earth, all of these nine mentations are
available in some degree. The rock in its wisdom remains true to itself, worked upon
by the elements around it. You could take lessons from the rock. That stillness of
peace, of solidarity, of the confident Consciousness of Truth of Self which you lose
as the winds of change buffet you about. Ponder the rock. Write a meditation about
the rock. In our next lesson, we shall examine the Nine States of Mentation of Realm
of Soul.
Now having done my duty to you, it would pleasure me to dialogue. It has
been long since we spoke together. Tell me of yourselves.
Myra: I have been through some surprising and exciting happenings since you
have been with us. I have attempted to follow your directions in invoking the archangels
and trying to picture each archangel as I invoke it and utilize the affirmations. I have
discovered that when I get out of bed after doing this… It takes about half an hour in the
morning before I get up. I sing the archangels’ names, and breathe, and absorb it. When I
get up I’m always thrilled at how much energy I have, and I seem to have a directness of
my mind that I didn’t used to have. I’ve just been thrilled with it, and I find that I’m
telling people about it. They seem to be very interested in what’s going on as they
watched me get healed from the fracture that happened to me. I want to thank you for
telling us about it, and for giving me the privilege to try it. It worked for me. (It is indeed
our privilege to give and to enjoy your success.)
Owen: As you are probably aware, Sheariam, we have published the first issue of
our newsletter, and the second issue is about to start. A new venture, one that we had
hoped to be well into by now, but was one of the things that just didn’t get done: the
forming of a study group has begun. Kristine has requested the names of people that
might be interested and are looking forward to the forming of a study group. And this in
turn will activate more work with the workbook. I’m very encouraged with that. We may
be getting back to some of the things that I know you indicated were very important and
that you would be helping with. Our good intentions weren’t quite enough to keep them
going. Hopefully now we can get back on track.
(Notice the coincidence of timeliness. The request for a study group coincides
with my return to you. There is no chance.)
If I might, Kristine called with a question that she would like help on. Would it be
appropriate to present that to you? (We will help as we can.) She has been taking some
rebirthing treatments and acupressure treatments, and finds that there is common memory
that she and some of her friends appear to be sharing related to the use of crystals in
previous lives in Atlantis. These seem to be involved with crystals to control their
thinking, and she feels that this is still influencing control over her thinking. She would
appreciate some clarification of what this is all about, and what she may do about it.
(There is no control over one’s thoughts. That is a matter of Consciousness
and Volition. If she chooses to allow circumstances to dictate her thinking, then she
submits her free will to circumstances. That the pattern of thought may be
influenced by this past experience is not unusual, for all of you experience that
phenomenon. This is karma.)
Is there any particular significance in the use of crystals involved here? (That she
not be submissive to the power of the crystal as a human being. She has dominion if
she will exercise it. She lives in a Realm of Self, which is to work out the
ramifications of the Law of Dominance.)
Myra: Speaking of crystals, last week I was privileged to go down to Jean’s and
have a massage. I was having trouble with both of my knees, and she used the crystal to
try to take the pain away. It was remarkably successful. I had a stiff neck, too. She taped
a crystal to my neck while she worked on the rest of my body. I was so surprised the next
day that the pain stayed away, and I was delighted. But I think the crystal, the power of
the crystal, had something to do with it. Would you agree with that?
(Yes, indeed. Crystals are far more powerful than most give credence. They
must be handled with skill and discretion.) So not everybody should… We shouldn’t
allow them to work on us unless we know they know what they’re doing. (That is true.)
Maxine: Is this true about wearing a crystal necklace? Should one be careful when
they wear a crystal necklace? (Yes.) What would be our guideline? (If the crystal is
lead-crystal (ed. Glass, man-made), its force field has been impaired. But true natural
crystals must be controlled.)
RetaMae: You advised me some time ago not to mix the diamonds and the crystals
together. And, of course, I have taken down the big crystal I had in the window, and I do
not have those chaotic vibrations that I had before. I wear my diamonds, but I do not mix
with the crystals any more because you have advised me not to. (Excellent.) And I’m
sure that each person would be different then, wouldn’t they? (Yes. It has to do with the
vibrational frequency of the individual. We will speak more of vibrations as we
proceed with our lessons in the Realm of Self.)
Betty: We are taught that we can program the crystals by our thought and by our
breath. (Indeed so.) This is effective? (Yes.) Also clearing it by the breath and by the
thought too to start with. Does that help? (Yes.) Are there any other things we should
know along that line? (Too many.)
LaMar: About three weeks ago I went to a “healer” whose name is June Allison
who works with spirit doctors. She diagnosed possible weaknesses and strong points,
whatever, by simply watching a light which came through the head and worked its way
down through my body. She reported cleaning out the arteries, trying to relieve the
arteriosclerosis, get more blood to the heart, etc. I’m wondering about the relationship, I
guess is the way to put it, between these spirit doctors and the healers from the temple.
Could you give me any enlightenment on this June Allison and these spirit doctors and
myself? (Some are one and the same. Some are of her Source Group.)
RetaMae: When LaMar was at this doctor, I had sat down in a chair at home for
about ten minutes, and I had quite an experience. It was as if these spirit doctors were all
around me. I thought it was our source group and from the temple. Then when LaMar
came home and told me this, I wondered if there was a relationship between his spirit
doctors, or is it all one and the same? (One and the same, partially.)
LaMar: And she simply has the ability then to see this light and to receive
information from the healers and spirit doctors? (A form of mediumship.) This is what I
have felt. She gave me a diet based upon what she had gotten watching that light. She
told me where it was working, and it all seemed to make sense with what I know to be
factual. Thank you.
Owen: I mentioned that we were going ahead with the second issue of the Cosmic
Connection. You are probably aware and have been with us in our deliberations on that.
Have you any comments or suggestions? (I have not been with you recently.)
Jean: So many things have happened that I don’t know where to start, but I think
I’ll start with Colin who has had an operation and is not recovering completely. Can you
give me any suggestion about what can be done to assist his complete recovery? (We
cannot intrude.) He wants to recover, and he wants my help. Is there anything I can do
to help him? (I cannot advise except that you call upon the temple healers.) I’ve done
that, and I do that.
A second thing is that I went to a workshop. We did a great deal of meditating,
and I met my guide. Her name was Arelia. Does that have any meaning to you? (To me,
personally, no.) And then a small group are meeting with Sid and me at my home to read
the back transcripts. They are very interested in learning more about the temple
teachings. We are just reading the transcripts and they are asking questions. But we are
mostly just reading. Do you have any further thoughts on that. (This is an excellent
exercise for you who are members of this circle to clarify your own thinking and to
study.)
Myra: You mean to invite four or five people to come in and read them out loud
with you? (Yes.)
Jean: I have been invoking the archangels a lot in massage and I seem to be
getting help. But I had an experience today that I don’t think I get the full significance of.
A week ago my daughter gave a little bird that had fallen out of the nest, and the cat had
brought it in to her. So I fed it, and it thrived, until today. Suddenly it ended up by dying
in my hand. Suddenly things changed very much with it. I knew it was not as well, so
then I used the crystal on it. I had invoked the archangels before that, and then I used the
crystal, and then it died. Can you tell me what the message is there? I think I’m not quite
getting it. (Two things: firstly, you are not a bird. You could not give the vibrational
quality the tiny creature required for its sustenance, which goes beyond physical
food. Secondly, the crystal is too powerful to be used on such a tiny being.)
That was what I wondered. Then, also, the bird, while it was in my care, did serve
another purpose. I wondered if the bird had fulfilled its purpose. It seemed to me it was
alive and quite well, and within an hour was gone. The thought came to me that it had
fulfilled its intention. (To the extent it was possible, this is true.) Thank you.
Maxine: You mentioned that the crystal was too powerful to use on the bird. Would
it be harmful even for small children to use crystals, say even if they are playing with
them? (In some instances, yes.) Can you give me an instance, or why? (It is too
complex to describe in a few words. It would be like a child putting a finger into an
electrical outlet. The damage is a complex result. The source of the electricity is a
complex thing to describe. Only the power and the ultimate end would be similar.)
Well, could it also be that if one would have a crystal bead necklace, that it could be
harmful too if you don’t know what you’re doing? (Yes.) I would say that I wouldn’t
know what I was doing if I was wearing a necklace. I don’t know as I would be aware
exactly what I was doing or what the affinity would be.
Jean: I wear an amethyst crystal, and my granddaughter wants very much to
have one. I selected a very small amethyst crystal to give to her. That wouldn’t be too
powerful for her, would it? (As you have been instructed, amethyst is protective
against radiation, not harmful.)
Owen: I have a question about the protection given by amethyst. It was indicated
that color is very powerful, but I wondered if, this amethyst being a form of quartz and
the color resulting from some impurity in the quartz, is there a chemical significance
there also, or is it just strictly the fact that it’s quartz and a particular color? (There are
no chance meetings. All is involved.)
LaMar: I wonder if I could ask one more question on the spirit doctors, healers?
Among the other things that they worked on which I believe have been healed, was the
arteries they were cleaning out the cholesterol from and the calcium plaque, etc. Again
with the idea that the arteriosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, would be cured and taken
care of, I believe that this is true. Am I being naïve, or would you say that will happen? (I
cannot predict what your consciousness will do. But you have every right to hope for
success.) That was what I wanted to know. Thank you very much. My consciousness
says that I will be healed. (Very well.)
Maxine: I have a necklace that has been handed down in the family that is crystal
and amethyst. I will have to look at it to see what kind of crystal it is. But could there be
any problem with wearing crystal and amethyst in a necklace? (That you would have to
examine for yourself. Take care.) How do you mean? You’re just telling me to take
care. You’re not telling me how to take care. (Be observant. Watch for results. Take
cognizance of events, of emotions, of circumstances when wearing same.)
Owen: I have a problem with my right eye. It doesn’t seem to be responding to
treatment. There is the alternative of surgery to remove the problem and replace the lens
with a clear lens, which seems to be a simple procedure and fairly successful. I’m
wondering if there is anything particularly wrong with doing the quick fix which would
be going ahead with the surgery? (There is no prohibition against such procedure. As
mankind is still of that consciousness which requires certain levels of medical
treatment. Do not allow your physical, metaphysical, occult studies to prohibit the
exercise of those rightful accesses.)
Jean: My eyes have been bothering me some for a while. They seem to be
changing. I got new glasses, and they seem also to be bothersome. Is there anything else
going on that I should know about or can change? (You are in a state of change, of
rapid change, as your cycles are coming to certain stages of their progress. Certain
cycles are coming together. When life cycles come together, what you call crises
occur, mainly to focus your attention into those areas which ordinarily you would
take for granted. (like walking), And seeing.)
Then are you saying, don’t go back and get my glasses changed again, but just
wait awhile? (Your eyes will be changing too rapidly for you to have glasses that will
be comfortable.) Is this an improved change? (It is merely a process determined by
your life cycles and cellular structure.)
LaMar: Could I ask if that same thing applies? I was about to go back to the doctor
to get my new glasses changed again. Does that same thing apply to me, or is it just too
much magnification that the doctor put on mine? (Yours results in an error in
judgment.) That’s what I thought. Thank you.
Owen: I’d like to ask about the same thing in mine. I’m sure there is something
beyond the physical, but what is it in my thinking, or in my actions or lack of action, that
is resulting in this eye condition? (That, too, is much too complex to be answered
simply. As metaphysical students, you are all aware that the thought process
produces your organic condition.)
RetaMae: Is this why my glasses have become very strong? I need to go back and
get mine decreased.) (Yes… As you heal, other things must give way.)
Sheariam: Shall we gather our thoughts for a concluding meditation?
Put yourselves at ease, and focus your attention in the center of your midst,
and visualize there the golden pyramid. Allow that visualization to become vibrant.
Let that pyramid grow so that its etherialness fills this room, and even though you
are inside of it, you are also outside of it.
Place your hands upon the walls, palms flat. Feel the golden light come into
the palms of your hands. Let that infusion of goldenness move throughout your
entire body. Let that goldenness represent for you the highest order of Divine Love.
So as that goldenness pervades your body, every cell, every corpuscle is beloved...,
and becomes the Divine Lover. Let those cells, every molecule of your being love
you.
Now your hands glow as though incandescent light. Place those hands
wherever on your body you have an impairment you wish to heal, and let the Divine
Love make you whole. If in your perception, your hand dims, place it once more
upon the pyramid wall. There is sufficient healing and love and light. You may have
all you need. Take it in until your body glows.
As you become filled with this Divine glow, there is that within you that must
share it. Extend an invitation to all about whom you have concern, and very
specially we ask that you extend that concerned love towards a sometimes member
of your association, Ann Hart and her daughters. (Many names softly whispered.) We
welcome all who come into this pyramid of light, of love, and Divine healing. We
accept this blessing for ourselves and for our loved ones who asked to share.
And now this golden light, this Divine Love, circulates among all of us.
Visualize that golden pyramid becoming larger and larger until it indeed
encompasses your globe. Extend your lovership to all the leaders of all nations, to all
those who would ask for help wherever they may be, in whatever condition they
may find themselves.
Thus you bless your planet, and you give of yourselves to right the
consciousness that there shall be a future, for your civilization to grow, to become,
to fulfill its promise. And now with love, release those who have come in answer to
your invitation, to return to their own consciousnesses. With great love from the
temple, we bless you and keep you in our hearts. We bid you go in great joy and
peace. And so it is done.
Many expression of appreciation. Session ended with singing “Let there be peace on
earth.”
