SESSION #7 – October 16, 1982
Gloria’s Circle

Present: Myra Perala, Helen Barnes, LaMar Bell, Owen and Maxine Cramer,
Richard and Mary White, Larry and Eileen Horton


S/T: Good evening. God bless all of you. And how has your time gone for
you these past few days?

Group: Very well, good, busy, etc. etc. And how has it been for you?

S/T: Busy as well here. Much is happening throughout the world, and of
course, this is reflected in your personal lives. Be not disturbed by the signs of the
times. Things are now shaping up to fulfill certain cycles, and that is all. There is
nothing to be afraid of.

Myra: All the fear of a nuclear war is not to be bothered with?

S/T: Not at this time, but there are cycles that are concluding to be reborn.
It is a frightening experience, but we here wanted to bring this reassurance lesson to
you.

Myra: Thank you, we appreciate that. Cycles to be reborn! What does that mean?

S/T: Every cycle on this universe of which you are aware is a never ending
cycle of extension and evolution, but nothing ever truly ends. (It) is always in a state
of becoming. There are appearances or illusions of conclusion. We simply wanted to
reassure you that what appears to be a final ending is only the reverse of ongoing
man and is in divine order. That is not to nullify the law of consequence however,
and there are consequences to be experienced. Those of you who live in the light
need not fear.

Myra: Are you thinking of national consequences or consequences of
individuals?

S/T: Not only both of those but throughout your planet and indeed your
entire solar system. But we must be on with this great work. We welcome you back,
Helen, and we have an answer to your question.
Be not dismayed. Robert is in the corridor of transition, that is true, but is
not “stuck”. If you will read the biblical story of Saul on the Road to Damascus, as
he wrestled with the angel and refused to let the angel go until he blessed him. So is
Robert struggling with an angel of conscience. He is disputing the situation as the
judgment seems to be rendered, and refuses to accept the judgment as rendered.
(He) demands to be blessed. From where we stand, he is winning the battle.
So you see you do have choices at every point along your pathway. This is not
a mere lying down and accepting the inevitable. You still have responsibility and
decisions and choices to make if you will do so.
And now, we shall go forward with tonight’s homily. “Blessed are the
merciful for they shall obtain mercy.” Here we have no great mystery. It is hardly
necessary to explain this law. I would make a few comments about this beatitude. As
you view your world, you entertain all kinds of intolerances for limitation. These are
not just the very obvious limitations of physical disability or mental retardation or
other such handicaps. But indeed extend into the limitation of character.
You will witness an event which to you appears to be evil, and thus you sit in
judgment upon the person who may commit an antisocial act. If you would obtain
mercy for your shortcomings and limitations, you must also come to understand
that people who behave in such an antisocial manner do so through limitation of
character.
As we get farther into the study of karma and reincarnation these things will
become more evident to you. But for now, at any time that you find yourself being
judgmental about anything, attempt to put yourself in that condition to see if you
can be determinative about the limitation which made this action of this nature
rather than an action of the nature in accord with your own belief and lesser
limitation. In other words, give the benefit of the doubt as to how close one is to god
or godliness and realize that your own perceptions are limited as well. Does this
clarify this beatitude for you? (general assent)
To benefit from universal law is not always the easy pathway to tread. You
physical humans have an interesting saying that the pathway to hell is paved with
good intentions. But for all of that, you must not sacrifice good intentions but
incorporate mercy. And so ends my homily for this night.
Now that your energies are sufficiently focused and united, let us have a
healing service. You all know now how to proceed. Begin to build the energy… Now
with your mind power, let it spread throughout the world to bless all nations and all
leaders.
Very well done. You have helped us a great deal. Thank you and bless you
all. Now I have a few announcements before we go further with the lesson. It has
been decided that your second meeting in December will be for personal questions.
A small gift from us to you to celebrate the season. That night there will not be a
formal lesson presentation. (excited comments from the group)
The second announcement I must make is that it has been decided to delay
discussion except incidentally on karma and reincarnation until Judith has gotten
you further along the path of corporal body construction, (and construction of) your
cosmos and world.

Myra: Those are big ideas – those words.

S/T: We would hope that our being with you and your being with us will
lead to even bigger ideas. This has become a very special group, and I believe Judith
will have some special comments for you.
Judith: I have observed you as I watched you try to digest the information.
For some of you there was a real percolation, and we rejoiced. For some of you there
was some absorption, and for some of you a very slight seepage. But for all of you
there was response, and because of this, we are so greatly encouraged. Part of my
yearning over you was because the information given was so very incomplete. It
would be outside the bounds of practical consideration to have led you further. And
so we gave of our love and our interest to help you assimilate the little that had been
given, and the manner in which I gave it to you was by way of a test. We sort of
threw you in to see if you could swim.
And the presentation also was intended to shock you, to break up
preconceived notions, in order that you might be porous enough to move forward. It
is so very important that you develop at least a glimmer of understanding. So we
will move directly to our topic.
I spoke before in terms of mechanical operation because most of the
information available to you at this point in the evolution of your consciousness is
aromanticized and sometimes theorized into the ridiculous. My intent in that
presentation was to bring you a realization of the order of which you are a part, and
perhaps to instill some degree of intimacy in your feelings about divinity. Then you
could be made to see that divinity is in the process of proliferating itself, of
developing itself. You are a part of that magnificence.
So you were introduced to what might be called the epigenetic germ cell – a
“some” thing, a finite differentiation, being born out of infinite indifferentiation, if
you will. This is the original immaculate conception. This universe, of which you are
a part, is a finite entity, but your idea of finiteness is in error. There is not, in reality,
any beginning or any end, for the process is always in potentiality, and now, in what
you call “reality”, will not end.
The birth of this sphere in which you function and have your being is like
unto that drop of water within a storm cloud. As always, analogy does not serve, for
in your known world that raindrop will eventually leave your storm cloud, whereas,
the germ cell, this divine beginning, will always remain within its greater “body”.
So out of a “no”-thing, we now have to consider “some”-thing. Now keep in
mind that this “some-thing”, which you know, is not the only beginning. It is not the
only existent “thing” but at this point it is the only “thing” of which you can
conceive.
Now if you will remember we talked about the component parts of this
“some-thing”. We had three Attributes of god, or “No”-thing” which we said for
purposes of expression, we would call Life, Quantity and Quality. We also had a
duality of Force and of Mind. We have the Creative Mind and the Perceiving Mind.
Now if this seems strange to you, stop for a moment and consider (that) when
you, as a minute speck of dust on this minute speck of dust called Planet earth, are
in the process of creativity, the Perceiving Mind appears to be separate from the
Creative Mind. And this is a valid consideration.
While one might expect that mind is all of a piece, it is not. Although you
might say that creativity and perception are two functions of the same mind. But
bear with me, and for the moment, grant me that we have two Minds; we have three
Attributes – five things.
We also have two Forces – centrifugal and centripetal. So now we have seven
things. But remember, I also spoke of the Matrix, that mysterious “god-stuff” which
contained or held for a time, the Attributes, and upon which the mind exerts some
kind of influence. We also have the vehicle upon which all of these things exist and
we call that “god” or “spirit”. We are very inaccurate in doing so, but for lack of
better words, we will work with those. (See Session 19 where these two latter
components are named “volition” and “consciousness”.)
So we have the Divine Reticulum. I described to you how Mind operated to
throw off (developing reproductions of itself) and described to you the process of
mitosis. But do not bring this down to the level of physical self, for at this Omega
Point, we are talking (simply) purity, the purest form or essence that these nine
components can be expressed through.
So we have the first mystery. We have a globule, a sphere, and we bring that
down into this physical manifestation. There are the nine components surrounded
by “No-thing”, and yet there the Divine Mystery is explained to you.
So when you study certain teachings, and you are taught of five bodies of this
and seven rays of that and other various numbers, go back and think about the
triplicities. As Christians you are taught of a triune god, and it is a mystery. You are
given names for all these various god-bodies, or god-entities, when in actual fact,
you are dealing with the first harmonic consonance, the very building blocks of your
universe – divinity, itself, expressing itself.
It’s as though the divine “No-thing” has condensed a portion of itself into this
sphere that we call “universe” and that entropriatic cell multiplies itself, divides
itself, and a portion of things present become present in all cells created. This is
where the blindness comes down into this sphere. As the division takes place,
consciousness with the whole becomes divided, and the more division, the less
consciousness of the whole.
Now we will not this night go into the ramifications of this, but I would like to
speak tonight on the Attributes – Life, Quality and Quantity. In defining itself and
becoming “Some-thing” out of “No-thing”, Quantity had to be an Attribute. Thus
we develop that consciousness of limitation, of beginning and end, for without end
there would be no Quantity.
For now, consider this divine Quantity as being a filling thought, as
Consciousness becomes dimmed by the vision there is within it. The divine Quantity
urge is to make greater, to fill up, to not permit a vacuum and to address the
Attribute of Quality.
We will discuss this in much greater depth at some future time. As we study
this ongoing process, we will come to discover the different differentiations of the
prime Quality. Words are such poor tools to describe such esoteric matter. Quality
is the state of beingness in which god, or this “some-thing”, finds itself at any given
time. You, each of you, individually, represent a certain Quality that is god-in-
expression.
Now to address the Attribute Life. The word “life” is a poor thing to describe
this vivifying urge. It strives to be, to be in spite of any other consideration. (It is)
the divine spark, perhaps that divine essential spark which brought forth the
manifestation before the beginning – that need that created the tension that brought
forth the “Some-thing” that caused the divine spark to move out of all potentiality
into a differentiated potentiality.
I think at this time I have given you sufficient food for thought. I shall be
with you, my children, as you struggle to understand. And I shall pray for you. Now
I shall retire. God bless and keep you all. Good night.

S/T: Well, my friends, what do you think now?

Group comments: “I think we are getting in pretty deep” “Can’t wait for that transcript.”
Etc.

S/T: Now according to the program, Judith will not be with you every time
we meet. It is obvious that this material cannot be absorbed in a short time. But she
made it very clear to the powers-that-be how strongly she felt the necessity to be
with you again this night.
That is by way of my third announcement. Now you can see why it was
decided that we would suspend discussion of karma and reincarnation for a while.
But your meetings will not be without value for they shall contain lessons on topics
relative to the study. And now I have an assignment for you although it might seem
you have already been given more than you thought you could handle.
During the coming interim between this meeting and the next, in your quiet
time of meditation or contemplation or whatever you allow yourself, plan to spend
some time in the following exercise. [Ed. Note: Staircase Meditation] Envision a
staircase going up. It doesn’t matter whether it goes into the sky or over a wall or
whatever suits your fancy. Walk up that staircase counting the steps it takes to get
to the top, and make note of that number. When you arrive at the top, ask yourself
“What is it I wish to do now?” Make note.
Then visualize a staircase going down. Do not go back down the staircase
which you just climbed. As you descend, observe your thoughts and feelings. Also
count the number of steps it takes to reach the bottom. Be prepared at the next
meeting to share your conclusions and observations. I will have some comments to
make on what you have brought back with you. If these instructions are not
sufficiently clear please do ask your question now.

Voice: When you get to the bottom of the stairs, do you ask any question?

S/T: No, just simply make notes of your observations and the number of
steps. But by all means do not end the exercise without blessing yourself. If you feel
that you have done well, pat yourself on the back.

Voice: At the top of the stairs, can the question have to do with anything?

S/T: Anything, but particularly with that which is present in your
consciousness when climbing the staircase. Each will have a different experience. I
dare not say more for I would implant certain suggestions.
Remember, you have been told that participation in this class would expand
your life in many ways. We are not here to simply pour information into a funnel. If
you do not grow and experience better living by participation here then we are not
fulfilling our obligation either to you or to ourselves. Remember also what I told you
about the abandonment of a project. We have made a commitment that goes beyond
our commitment to you, and we can do no less than our very best.
Now I am going to bid you goodnight. It has been a hectic week for my
instrument, and a big day this day. It would be well that she go home early.
Therefore go with God and blessings to all of you until we meet again. Good night.



Note from transcriber:

Differentiation – development from the one to the many, the simple to the
complex, the sum of the processes whereby apparently individual cells, tissues and
structures attain their mature form and function.

Epigenetic – 1. development involving gradual diversification and differentiation
of an initially undifferentiated entity. 2. deposit or structure formed after the laying down
of the enclosing rock.

Entropriatic cell: If this word stems from the word “entropy” which means
“turning inward” then the second “r” seems inappropriate. But in every instance in future
sessions, the teachers have included the second “r” in this manufactured word. Given that
the sound of “r” represents the “head functions” – thought, self-determination, etc., it
seems appropriate to include this second “r”, for all the descriptions of the entropriatic
cell include its function of self-proliferation, self-determination, etc. See page 78.
