Session #82 – August 19, 1986
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Betty Welty, Eileen Horton, Ida Nevala, Jean Chisholm, LaMar and
RetaMae Bell, Owen and Maxine Cramer, Peggy Muldoon, and Sidney
Smither.
Meeting was again held in the comfort of the air conditioning at the home of the Bell’s.
Assignments were made for leading the review sessions prior to channeling. The plan is
to work through the archangels, covering the meaning of the name, situations for which
they can be invoked, the opposite female or male aspects of each, the order of angels,
etc., review to begin September 6.)
Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. Let us go about the circle and
place our names in our midst. (Done. Comment: Nice to have you here tonight.) Thank
you, it is my privilege.
We undertake this night a rather sensitive task in that we shall try to explain
something to you which may be far more difficult to grasp than some of the other
information we have brought. But it is necessary if you are to pursue the study of
the Realm of Self. It would serve no great purpose for us to go detail by detail
through the eons of time in which your planet and its life forms existed in some
other form than that which you now know. But it is important that you have some
grasp of how your earthly so-called solid form came to be. In this explanation we
must use words which have been used elsewhere with other connotations. So as we
proceed, please ask questions.
Now it has been given as names for realms: Realm of Mind, Realm of Soul,
Realm of Ego, and Realm of Self. As I previously have given, within each realm are
what might be regarded as levels or planes of experience, of evolution, devolution,
existence, even as there are among you levels of comprehension and differing
intellectual capacity.
Our dear beloved brother Silverthistle has given you some excellent
instructions in the makeup of your bodies. But these bodies did not spring as they
are now, full blown, so to speak. They are evolutionary. In the involutionary spiral,
or the devolution, as Life is thrust into material existence, it is first formed by these
subtle molds which we can only name by using words previously used.
As Silverthistle gave, you have a Mental Body. This is not the Realm of Mind,
but is more in the way of being the connecting link, if you will, between Realm of
Self and the thinking capacity of the Realm of Soul. It is that emanation, or product,
that results from that delicate balance between Consciousness and Volition which is
predetermined by the Intention of the Soul and the instructions to the Ego for the
making of the armature upon which something shall be built in order to fulfill that
Intention.
Now as earth cools to that state in which matter becomes solid, this delicate
form of Mental Body develops a certain shape which we call the Creative Body,
which, at this stage of devolution has not yet determined what the solid body shall
manifest as appearance. These bodies are substantive in their own manner, but are
not yet filled with that charge of potential. It is as the tension of yearning for
manifestation builds in the Realm of Soul that these forms become filled with the
power of Life, the power to express.
As your planet reaches that state of solidity that it can then provide solid
substance to mold about that armature provided by the Mental and Creative bodies,
the earliest life forms appear, the earliest molecular structures which have the
potential of self-modulation. It is the interaction of these molecular structures
exercising their capacity for self-modulation, with the environmental provisions of
solid matter, which force that modulation to bring adaptive changes to the
structure. Have I been able to make clear this process? Can you formulate a
question which would not require exact repetition?
Myra: You talked about molecular structure interacting with the environmental
provisions makes for self-modulation. (Self-modulation interacts with environmental
provision to bring about the adaptation process. Thus certain organisms became
land organisms, and some of those land organisms became airborne, beginning to
live in differing habitats.) Is this different from mutations? (It is not different, but
rather that which lies behind. The habitat is the result of the interaction of the self-
modulating organism with the pressures of its environment. For example, you have
cities with living quarters piled on top of each other because the environmental
pressures did not allow expansion horizontally.) This is an example of how man has
created his universe?
Sheariam: In the early solidification of your planet, man did not exist as
man now exists. Life existed taking elementary primitive form, having only Mental
and Creative Subtle Bodies. Out of the interaction of the self-modulation and
environmental pressure, the living organism was forced to grow for itself a Desire
Body. As the tensions of existence increased, that tension had to be relieved in some
manner, thus desire for relief began to grow the subtle Desire Body. It is through
that subtle desire body that new environments are created. The Mental and
Creative Bodies create together the other subtle bodies as well as the solid body.
In the beginning, before you can comprehend your own complex nature, you
must understand the simple nature of the beginnings. Human nature already
existed, but not on planet earth, but in the Realm of Spirit and the Realm of Soul. In
your scriptures you are told that the “sons of God” mated with the “daughters of
men” to people your planet. Is that not so? (Yes.) I am attempting to describe how
the “daughters of men” therein referred to came to be. The phrase, “daughters of
men” is a rather arrogant description of the primitive life forms given rise on the
face of your planet by the natural action of the creative process described by Judith.
This same tension which built in the Divine to bring about Cosmos, which
built in Cosmos to bring about Universe, is the same tension which causes simple
organisms to become complex, which causes those complexified organisms to change
habitat. It is the same tension which builds within your planet today, that builds
within the consciousness of the humans which inhabit this planet, which at the
present time finds release in warlike activities. As you were previously given, this
planet is pre-determined to be that place in which the Law of Dominance is worked
out in all of its parts. Thus it is, in the very beginning, that Life form begins to
dominate the place in which it lives. There are those existences in which the place in
which Life exists determines life. There is not that opportunity of interaction. This
interaction is required in order to work out the Law of Dominance.
Now, as Desire Body grows, that need to be sensitive to the environment and
to the interaction with other living organisms demands another body be grown.
This, then, gives rise to that subtle body Silverthistle calls the Emotional Body.
In your language and in your thoughts, you often confuse feeling with
emotion. The Feeling Attribute of the Law of Dominance is developed through the
action of the Emotional Body, but the two are not one and the same. Nor is Desire,
as an Attribute, the same as the use of the word “desire” in connection with the
subtle body. We shall later discuss in more detail those Attributes. But for now, be
satisfied with learning about the subtle bodies.
It is through the Desire Body that you reach out. It is through the Desire
Body that you seek dominance. It is through the Emotional Body that you perceive
those irritants, those pleasures, those things which motivate desire. But it was desire
which first existed and required the development of the Emotional Body. This is
evolution. The Desire Body is the second step in the ladder of evolution. The
Emotional Body is the third step. The Vital Body is the fourth step, and was
necessary to be developed because of the sensitivity of the Emotional Body requiring
a defense mechanism.
And so it is that your Vital Body is your defense against invasion, either by
your own kind, other phenomenon such as attack by animals, by what you call
accident, by illness or what you call communicable or infectious or contagious
diseases. It is that Vital Body with which you build those defense shields which you
call the “White Light”. It is not, in fact, white light at all, but is your own Physical
Body in its subtle state, which we call Vital Body.
So this is the devolution and evolution of the bodies of man. When the
Emotional Bodies came into being is the time of which your scripture speaks when
the human nature, if you will, entered this Realm of Self and began the evolutionary
process which has resulted in you. Now you are not the end of the road for the
human condition. You are merely another step in the evolutionary process. You are,
as a race, a phenomenon, in the process of developing different physical organisms
which also include the subtle body changes. Now have I gotten you completely
confused? (Some expressions of at least partial understanding.)
At times you have requested biographical data. I have received permission to
speak of Karansa, for Karansa is the evolutionary result of the first feminine entities
upon this planet. In the eons of evolution of the human condition, Karansa has
incarnated more times than I would possibly be able to tell you about. In your more
recent history, Karansa has always been in a position of leadership because of the
eons of existence upon this planet and experiencing the planetary evolution as well
as the evolution of Life upon the planet. Your planet has not always been this size or
this shape, and it will not always remain this size and its present shape.
Some 40,000 years ago, in your current calculation of time, it became no
longer necessary for Karansa to become incarnate in the physical organism. She was
then allowed to continue her life in the condition in which you now find me. Her
intellect, her emotions, the thrust of her intent, have all evolved during the years
and centuries and eons of her service. About 3,000 years ago, in your time, Karansa
made the decision to remain in the evolutionary spiral of planet earth, this planet
earth, and thus became the leader of the temple. She has always been feminine in
gender, and in her various lifetimes has championed the feminine condition. Even
now she is quite interested in the resurgence of feminine power. She is greatly
revered, greatly admired, and greatly loved. She has chosen to remain human for
some time to come, and for that we are most grateful.
Do you have any questions?
Owen: Somewhere I had the impression that all souls or personalities started at
the same time. We refer to someone as being an “old soul”, but all human life started at
the same time. You mentioned that Karansa was much earlier than others. I guess there is
a differentiation in time that certain human life started.
Betty: What she was speaking of was not restricted to our human experience
though, wasn’t it? It’s beyond that. It was the feminine. I didn’t get it down about the
feminine expression. (Yes, before form, as you now know yourselves to be.)
Eileen: Anything I’ve ever understood about reincarnation, I had the feeling that
every soul entity had to experience being male and female and all of the different races,
etc. Now you say that Karansa was always a woman. Are there other souls that have just
been the one sex, and why is that? (Do not confuse soul with individual. There are
many manifestations from the expression of the soul to which Karansa belongs.)
Betty: Should the feminine expression be necessarily synonymous with the
female sex? (No. Because you are locked into bodies of gender, you have lost touch
with personality expression. You have, as a race, become so immersed in the
physical side of your expression, that you have lost touch with much of that which
you are. The gender of your body may not be indicative of the polarity of your
expression. Thus you have a male gender body, perhaps, with great sensitivity, with
what your current cultural history might call “weakness”.
Myra: That’s assuming that the feminine is weak. (Yes. Cultural history.) And
where the masculine would be contrariwise very macho or strong. (Culturally, yes.)
Betty: This is some of what we were just getting around the fringes of tonight in
our discussion of the transsexual. (Very often your questions anticipate us. This is
natural since our lessons are progressive. Your Creative Minds should plunge
forward.) Again, I have so many questions I can’t even formulate them. I understood,
but I haven’t gone back over it, and I may be incorrect in my assumptions. Essentially life
evolved from just our simple primitive one- and two-celled animals that we were talking
about.
I even got the impression that it came from the oceans or the liquid. (Yes.) And it
evolved on up through that. (Yes.) Tonight leads me to the question: “Do the simple one-
celled animals at this time just have the two subtle bodies that we talked about tonight
and develop those as they come up the evolutionary scale? (Yes.) That leaves so many
questions, I can’t even ask. (That is why I prefaced tonight’s dissertation with the
words of warning. This concept may require considerable contemplation to grasp.
But as we proceed in the lessons of the Realm of Self, it will become easier, even as
now it is easier to understand that which was given earlier.)
Sidney: You said that even in most recent times Karansa has championed the
feminine cause, if you will. Yet she is human. I understand that, and she is not in the
physical. I understand that. So she is championing these from the realm of the invisible.
Is that correct, then? (Yes.)
Historically, have we known Karansa: (Some of you have known her as a
personality, yes.) Historically would she be somehow akin to our “Eve” tradition?
(Yes.) And how? (If you will review that lesson in the Garden of Eden story about
the Adam giving birth to Eve, and the temptation, you will find there certain
principles elucidated. As those consciousnesses, those awarenesses, were developed
by the Egos of the Soul from which Karansa stems, determined to make certain
intellectual input into the lives of the life forms on this planet, certain feminine
personality expressions began to evolve. Karansa is a result of that first input which,
in your biblical myth, would be that first activity of Eve in the Garden of Eden, as
Eve was tempted in order to persuade union or involvement of an existent living
form in an existent life, planetary life form. There were certain tensions engendered
by the Soul Intention, which caused that feminine expression to adopt a certain
planetary life form. In your myth, the Life Principle, represented by the serpent,
tempts Eve to take the apple, Eve being that feminine expression, and the apple
being the life form on the planet, and the Life Principle, the serpent, being that
tension, or coercion by the Soul upon the Ego. Coercion sounds so forceful, and yet
the action is more than persuasion, and less than enforced. I hope I did not make
that too involved.)
Sidney: I have another observation: if I were to use diminutive forms of the words
evolution and devolution, I would probably come up with “evol” and “devol”. (Correct.)
Which sounds like “evil” and “devil”. (Yes.) Could you comment on that? (Also, “deva”.
Deva: that existence, that intellect, that beingness, is what your historical church is
really referring to when speaking of “devil”. Satan is a manufacturing of your
western world. The church found it convenient to equate the two. In practice,
endowing the deva with an immorality when, in fact, deva is a-moral. “A-moral”:
without sensitivity to what you call “morality”.)
LaMar: I have a question that’s intriguing me here. For the last several years I
have heard about putting the “white light” around ourselves, and I understand the Indians
used to use that, and so on. At one point in these lessons I asked, I think it was
Silverthistle, about it, and we had an explanation in which everything seemed to fit
perfectly about our putting the “white light” and being able to send the “white light”.
I have sent the “white light” for protection to various places, and, in fact, he said
it could actually be sent around the world. Now we find that is in reality our Vital Body,
which would indicate that our Vital Body, or a portion of it then, can be sent around the
world, if you will. Is that correct? (That is correct. But had we told you that at that
time, you would not have understood.)
I think I understand except that it is very intriguing to me how our own…. (If you
so desire, you can extend your Vital Body around your planet and communicate
through your Vital Body with any other human being on the planet. We have given
long ago that your thoughts had the power to circle the globe. But you did not think
to ask what carried the thought.)
Maxine: Is that something like telepathy? (That is the name which you have
applied to the phenomenon.)
Sidney: If the Vital Body can do that, then the Soul Body must be even greater in
its expansiveness, and the Mind Body, if you will, even greater than that. So then, at what
point…. (You are confusing our words, and this is our difficulty. Do not confuse
Mental Body with Realm of Mind.) I guess my question can still be asked. At what
point, in which of the bodies, does time and space begin to cease to exist, or maybe that’s
phrased backwards. Perhaps you understand the intent? (There is no clear demarcation,
but to generalize, it would be in the Emotional Body.)
Betty: We can at times even detach from time and space in the physical body.
Are we going to the subtle bodies when we detach? (You are going into the subtle
bodies. The physical organism which you inhabit, the planetary life form, is subject
to time and space, but through the substance of the Desire Body a thought form can
be made in replica of that body.)
Sidney: I have a question that has intrigued me for a number of years. A few years
ago I was playing tennis a lot, and I got to the stage where, through my concentration and
just remaining calm all the time, and by focusing my eyes intently on that tennis ball all
the time, that I was actually able to slow it down. (That is correct.) And concomitantly, I
just allowed my body to react without even thinking about what I was doing. I just
allowed it to react and do all the work for me. How did I do that? (Through the Vital
Body.)
Jean: You said earlier that certain tensions “energized by the Soul’s Intention”,
certain tensions “engendered by the soul’s Intentions”... I’ve tried to remember what the
Souls’ Intentions were and what you were speaking about. This was back when you were
talking about Eve and the serpent. Now, what Soul Intention would that be at that time?
(That I am not at liberty to reveal.) Why? (Because it is private to Karansa.)
Myra: As we endeavor to reach the insight as to what our particular Soul
Intention is, then this is a personal matter that we should not discuss with others? (It is
your privilege to discuss. I cannot discuss Karansa’s.)
Myra: So we should not discuss other people’s, only our own. (If they give their
permission.
Sidney: Some time ago, I believe it was you, made the statement that we have the
potential to create in the palm of our hand a loaf of bread. (You do not create it. You
manifest it. It is already created.) True. I had crossed out create and written manifest. If
it has taken trillions of years for single-celled creatures to evolve to what we call our
human beingness, how then can we manifest a loaf of bread in our hand instantly, or very
close to that? (Because there are those who have already gone before you and done
so.)
Jean: I don’t know exactly how to formulate this question, but it has to do with
Process. As I think of single-celled creatures, there are billions of them, many more than
there are humans, and so I think of the evolutionary process, and I think then that has to
not be at a physical level. I mean, it can be at the physical level, too, but the overall must
be at a different level. I can understand a little bit better how the evolutionary process
takes place, and certain structures become developed over a length of time. But the thing
I think that bothers me is the fact that there are millions of one-celled animals and then
fewer and fewer as you get up. Part of what I’m asking is what happens to the ones that
don’t move on, and it must be not the physical but the idea that moves on. Is that
sufficiently confusing?
Sheariam: The single-celled animal dies to be reborn. Sometimes that rebirth
occurs as a united condition with another such cell, which is the evolutionary
process. As that Desire Body is grown, which allows such union, the two Desire
Bodies unite to form a more complex structure. As that complex structure grows an
Emotional Body and unites with another complex structure to form a still more
complex structure, all the Desire Bodies unite and all the Emotional Bodies unite.
Does that help?
Jean: That helps some, and I did have another thought. Those millions of one-
celled creatures, when you add up all the millions of cells within the humans, perhaps
there are that many cells involved, but that was a side thought. What you’re saying is: it
does primarily happen at the non-physical level. (Yes.) The Evolution takes place at the
non-physical, and then it’s expressed at the physical. (Yes. The physical is merely a
vehicle through which what you term the non-physical can accomplish evolution.)
Jean: All right. Can you talk a little bit more about the union of the “sons of
God” with the “daughters of man”. At what time or when did that take place. What was
the form, the earliest form, of man where that took place? (You could not conceive of
such a creature. Your scientific community has not found an artifact to which it
could attest humanity, and probably will never do so. What you wear now as a
body, which you call human, has not always been in this shape. What is human
about you is what you term non-physical.)
Myra: That’s Consciousness. Awareness of Consciousness? (That is part of it.)
Less the Desire, Emotional and Vital Bodies. (That is part of it, but animals, plants,
and minerals also have Desire, Emotional and Vital Bodies. They are also in a state
of evolution. You see, you cannot conceive of what your planet was like in its early
solid form. The most primitive, simple organism which you can at present conceive
is quite evolutionary from that which actually began Life upon this planet.)
Jean: I read someplace some concept that as a result of the mating of the “sons
of God” and the “daughters of man”, there were many, many semi-beast forms. (That is
correct.) Now are these the fore-runners of the physical half man-half beast? (Yes.) And
so there actually were such creatures on earth at one time? (Yes.) And then in this story I
think they said man tried to eliminate all those that were beast-like. (Mankind.)
Mankind tried to eliminate all the ones that were beast-like. (Yes.)
Betty: Isn’t that supposed to be part of the story of Atlantis, too, where they had a
temple to help develop those who were in that stage? (That is also true. Not all were
destroyed. Destruction has not always been mankind’s way of dealing with his
situation. Dominance can be expressed in ways other than destruction.)
Myra: Could you give us some examples of animals today, or some creations,
creatures which are holdovers from that time? Are there any? (Yes, there are some, but
not mixed. There are many places on your planet in which exist creatures of which
you have no knowledge, both human and bestial, and some combined.)
Would that be true of mankind as a whole? It is not aware of these, or the
scientific world? (In your scientific community are those who believe in Sasquatch, in
the Yeti, and there are those who scoff.)
Eileen: Is there such a thing? (Yes, indeed there is.)
Betty: In many parts of our planet? (Yes.)
Myra: So there’s Sasquatch living here in Washington. It is really a creature that
is avoiding man? (Yes.)
Betty: I’m going under the assumption, or have gone under the assumption, that
these creatures have not evolved as far, the ones half-human, etc. Is this mis-assumption?
(It is a mis-assumption. One of the reasons that civilization is being avoided by
certain communities is because they are more advanced in working out the Law of
Dominance, and prefer not to participate in the cycle of destruction. Their numbers
are very few. They are the last remnants of the last cycle of construction.)
Jean: Another thought came to me. I was thinking of animal and man existing.
Then I thought of the octopus and the squid that have an eye that is very much like the
human eye. Then you think of the whale and the dolphin, who apparently communicate
and maybe even think a little bit like humans. So, would this be another example of
where some of the remnants remain, but we’re looking at it in a different way? (Correct.)
Betty: Is it a remnant, or is it a different kind of evolution that we see. I assumed
that the development, evolution, went along with the human form that we have. This is a
mis-assumption also? (Yes. Your ocean animals have much farther evolutionary
development in their subtle bodies than some of what you call humans. Remember
always that all life forms upon this planet have been evolved as a means by which
the ramifications of the Law of Dominance are to be worked out. That entails the
evolution of the subtle bodies.)
Owen: It seems rather incredible to me that no firm evidence of remains of the
Sasquatch have come to the scientific community. Is this because they are not completely
physical and are able to dissipate their physical condition? (No. The body that they
wear as an inhabitant of this planet is totally as physical as yours. There simply are
not the numbers of them.)
Myra: So where do their remains go when they die? (I should not reveal their
secrets.) Thank you for protecting them. We really don’t need to know it. (Should I
reveal such information, I would do them great disservice, for there are those of
your nature who would perceive that as a clue to find those still living, and desire to
entrap them, to imprison them, and subject them to untold misery.)
LaMar: Or even kill then. (That would be a kindness in comparison with what
would most likely occur.)
Jean: The other thing you said, working out the Law of Dominance then implies
that working out the Law of Dominance is not completely upon the shoulders of the
humans, that other species have certain assignments to work out the Law of Dominance.
Is that correct? (All life forms upon this planet, and the planet itself. Thus it is that
the planet itself will not permit humans to destroy it.)
Sidney: Then there is certainly no guarantee that human life will dominate the
physical as we are now. Eons ago the dinosaurs dominated the physical life on the planet,
and now we are dominating the physical life on the planet. (And very quickly losing
your option to do so.)
Jean: It has been predicted that the insects will end up being the dominant form.
Is that correct? (I cannot predict that. Only consciousness can evolve that.)
Betty: Right now they are dominating my household I think. (Speak to them.)
(Comments and laughter.)
Sidney: I have to also say that in the last Thursday night reading, the very final
session, I enjoyed reading your answer to a question asked by one of the attendees who
said, “Why is it that you never laugh?” And your answer was: “I do. It’s just not reflected
by the channel.” (This is true. You give us great amusement.) (Laughter.)
Betty: I understood from one of our healing intensives that the Desire Body, the
Emotional Body, and the Vital Body surrounded the physical shape and are more
individual to the physical form that we carry as humans. (That is true.) And the subtle
bodies beyond that are shared with others? (Yes.)
Jean: What are the signs that we should look for to measure the degree to which
we are winning this struggle for dominance? (The relative harmony in which all life
forms may exist upon the planet.) That almost involves a new concept of dominance.
(Is not that what we have stated as our aim since we began?)
Maxine: We need to be in harmony with the mosquito. Is that what you’re saying,
then? (Yes.)
LaMar: I have not been to India, but I have been told by people who have, that
Americans go over there with sprays and mosquito nets and every conceivable thing, and
the mosquitoes almost eat them up. Yet the natives live right with the mosquitoes and
have none of that and have very little, if any, problem with them. (Neither did your
American Indians.)
Maxine: Are you saying that it is in man’s mind that the problem has developed?
(Of course).
Betty: We were talking about the chemical imbalances of the body causing
schizophrenia and other problems like that. The chemical imbalance starts with the
thinking process in the beginning? (Yes.) And if we are in imbalance? (You can think
your way out of that imbalance.) Do we need to know the cause of the imbalance?
(No.) Or do we just ask for balance? (Do not ask. Appropriate.)
Maxine: I would assume that refers to my physical condition? (Certainly.) I don’t
need to have it. All I need to appropriate health or perfection, not help, but appropriate
perfection.)
LaMar: Why not health?
Maxine: Maybe I think I’m healthy. I’m just not perfect in body shape. That’s a
difficult thing to quite understand. How does one do that? I certainly should try.
Betty: Could you give us some clues? I was just thinking, having been raised
(Christian), how do you go about appropriating? (Look to your fears. What is it that
you fear will result from a certain activity that prohibits you from that activity?
When you dismember the fear, then you may have your desires fulfilled. It is fear
which stands between you and your best accomplishment.)
Maxine: Can I get in touch with my fears through meditation? (That is one
avenue.)
Betty: Then it comes back to the Law of Dominance. We dominate our fears by
releasing them, or looking at them in a true light. That’s a way to reach dominion over
ourselves?
Jean: That leads to: When we move into Relinquishment, then have we
completed Dominance? (You cannot relinquish totally until you have no fear. Fear
erects defenses; defenses imprison. Imprisoned, one cannot relinquish.)
Sidney: All of a sudden the Latin word “Domina” came to me, which means
“Lord”. And, of course, we call Christ “the Lord” – one who has dominated or
“Domina”, if you will, over his physical universe. I also recall, in reference to Maxine’s
question, that in one of the Thursday night sessions, you recommended for someone who
was afraid of heights that in their imagination to picture themselves, or in their meditation
to picture themselves, being in situations fearlessly that involved heights, and that
gradually that might serve to eliminate the fear. (As you, in your language, re-program
the Emotional Body, then the Desire and the Physical accommodate, or follow,
adapt.)
Jean:It seemed to me that what I heard you say: “To appropriate properly, you
have to overcome fear.” Now, if you have to overcome fear and can appropriate properly,
then can you move into Relinquishment? (That is the plan.)
Myra: So when you reach that point where you have dismembered your fear, you
then relinquish the bonds that keep you from appropriating what you need to live
voluptuously. (Yes.)
Jean: And you’re ready to move on. (Comments from group: That could take a
few lifetimes. It could take a few minutes, too. It depends on how you program yourself.
That comes back to attitude.)
Eileen: I would think that almost anybody would desire to be free of fear.
Maxine: I desire that, but that doesn’t mean you are, though.
Eileen: That’s what I mean. You desire it, but how do you accomplish it?
RetaMae: You just don’t desire it enough.
Maxine: Oh, I don’t think that can be. I think you have to do something else
besides desire.
LaMar: Maybe that thought is what keeps it from working for you.
Myra: Which thought? The thought that you can’t?
LaMar: Just what she said. (Comments.) (Then LaMar addressing Maxine) You
said: “I don’t think that will work.”
Maxine: I see. I have to know it will work.
Eileen: We put so many limitations on it.
Jean: I’m still working on the fear. A few nights ago, some things happened.
People weren’t home, etc. I had a choice. I could be afraid that something would happen,
and it happened. Or I could believe that they were OK. But the little doubt was there. And
since it was hard to just think everything’s OK, and everything’s OK, I solved it by
reading. And I had no fear at all then. I just put my mind on something that filled the
space. At first I said, “Well, they’re perfectly all right. I’ll go ahead and read now.” I had
no fear, and of course, everything was OK. Now that seems like kind of a copping out.
(Not at all. Go back and read your lessons from Silverthistle. That upon which you
fasten your attention is what you have.)
Betty: That’s sort of like filling up the space, isn’t it? (Yes.)
Maxine: It sounds to me that I hear that I’m putting my attention on disability.
(Yes.) Oh, dear. I don’t realize that I do that, so I have to understand how I have to come
to terms with myself.
Sheariam: Let us draw this session to a close with a meditation.
Settle yourselves comfortably. Relax your bodies. Focus your attention on
your body, the extent of its extremities, the girth of its torso. With whatever
sensitivity you can muster, move the focus of your attention outward from those
perimeters, and know that you are placing your attention in the substance of the
Desire Body which extends beyond that perimeter but which follows those contours.
You may find the substance to be somewhat thick, even sticky. The more you relax,
the more fluid that substance will become.
Then allow your attention to expand out into the Emotional Body. As you
relax still more, you become aware of more spaciousness. More sense of freedom.
Less restraint. Until you feel free to move out into the Vital Body where you
encounter a more pure form of what we shall call “energy”. As you focus your
attention into this area, you should begin to feel a vitalization, an invigoration, a
sense of excitement, anticipation.
Now, this is your space. This is all yours. It is this which you must dominate,
control, master, fill up. Feel that central core within yourself radiating outward to
the very limits of that Vital Body. Feel the stretch as the thrust of your life radiates
from you, as your Desire Body pulsates with the desire for experience, with the
desire to live life to its fullest.
Feel that radiation out through the Emotional Body which sensitizes you to
the sensual pleasures of the world in which you live. Not only physical pleasure, but
mental pleasure, heartfelt pleasure. And recognize there the yearning for something
more, better, greater. Find there the hope for the future, that voluptuousness. As
you find that, your Vital Body blazes with what you call the “white light”.
Now the external reaches of that Vital Body are very elastic. You may push it
out there, pull it in here, model it however you like. It will always return to reflect
the contour of your physical organism. You can never lose it no matter where you
direct it with your thought. You go beyond that limit only in consciousness, in
awareness. You can extend yourself beyond the limit of the Vital Body into the
Creative Body which you share with others. And there you find great freedom to
access the knowledge which is imprinted upon the matrix of your existence. This
matrix of your existence is that Mental Body which is shared by all of your
particular condition.
And as you extend yourselves out through the Creative Body, into the Mental
Body, you cross that no-man’s land you call the “astral”. In that Astral Realm exist
the fears of all the life forms on your planet. Those fears take many forms. If you
would exercise dominance upon your life, you must travel that area in the sense of
security that you are a Divine Being, immortal, existent, conscious, and creative.
Simply because a fear presents itself in an ugly face does not mean that you must
accept it in the way it presents itself. As a creative person in charge of your life, you
have the power to change the appearance of that manifestation. As you dominate
your own life, take charge of your own reactions, responses to such presentations,
you can banish them from the matrix, and thus serve your condition, your fellow
man, and assist in the evolutionary process of Consciousness.
Now, as you are aware in this outer perimeter of Mental Body, you are
existent in awareness in the outer limits of your Realm of Self. It is in that expanded
awareness that you become the total of your condition. You are all that is, in your
condition. In that awareness you have great power. From that awareness your very
thought of blessing, of loving regard, benefits all of your realm, not just your planet.
In this expanded awareness, bless those whom you love. Speak their names by
saying “Bless you” and the name. (Many softly blessed).
Now together, let us bless the planet in unison. Say “Bless my home, planet
earth.” (Done.) “Bless my fellow man.” (Done.) Bless my life.” (Done.) Now, in turn,
as I invite you to return to the awareness of this room, I bless you, and bid you go in
joy. (Several bless Sheariam.) And good night.
Closed with “Let there be Joy on earth.”
