Session #87 – November 1, 1986
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Betty Welty, Eileen Horton, Ida Nevala, Jean Chisholm, Jeneeka, LaMar
and RetaMae Bell, Mary White, Owen and Maxine Cramer, Myra Perala,
Peggy Muldoon, and Sidney Smither
Preceding the session, RetaMae led a comprehensive review of the Law of Reproduction
and the Archangel Tzadkiel.
Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. Do you recall how we opened our
session when last we met? Let us do that once again. (Everyone sung the phrase “My
name is ______ three times, somewhat dissonantly.) With practice you will accomplish
our goal. (Laughter)
So let us return to our discussion of the Karmic Wheel. We were cut off last
time. Before we begin our discussion, I would remind you that the success of our
transmission, our connection with our channel, depends upon your concentration,
your clarity of thought, and above all, your good will. When there are cross currents
of thought in the room, you confuse the signal, and it causes something which you
might call “static” in our connection. Thus, certain words may not be properly
pronounced, our meaning can be confused. As an analogy, perhaps if you were to
listen to a coded message being sent over an electrical wire, sufficient energy
resistances might cause the sounds to become distorted, and thus the signal misread.
That can happen in these kinds of connections by virtue of confused thought waves.
As a whole we have been greatly successful with this group, to our great honor and
gratification. But as you know, there have been times when the connection has been
disrupted, and such is usually the case.
We would, at this time, also take the opportunity to express to you our
gratitude for your faithfulness in welcoming (difficulty in pronouncing) us into your
hearts. There was a simple example of interference. (Referring to the previous
difficulty.)
So let us then onward with our discussion of the Karmic Wheel. Do you have
a clear perception now of the union of the Life Rod in simple life form? Perhaps one
of you could articulate your understanding, and give us a point of departure. (No
response.) Have we then failed so utterly?
Owen: Without referring to my notes in detail, I can’t retell what you gave us. But
I did have a question. When the Rod, with its Vital, Desire and Emotional Bodies has left
the physical which formed it, or around which it formed, it is then available to join with
another similar system. I was wondering: what is the urging force that causes that union
to occur, since it seems to be a sufficient system unto itself to begin with, and the other
one is also sufficient. What makes them come together?
Sheariam: You have gone beyond the simple life form. You must first
comprehend the simple formation before you can understand the more complex
situation. It is a progressive process.
In the Involutionary Spiral, the Rod is endowed by Soul as a means to
enliven lifeless matter of your planet. As this enlivening process moves into
progressive action, an environment is created which then provides a theater in
which this life manifestation can do something, which, in the primary state, is
simply to reproduce itself, to grow, to become.
That is the primal urge endowed through this Soul Rod of Life: that Urge to
Become without, what might be termed, a preconceived diagram or destiny. Destiny,
itself, becomes a design as a result of the Urge to Become acting within Matter. A
simple single cell, in its Urge to become, has no design other than the soul
Endowment. There is only that Rod which is the pathway for Soul Intention to move
into and enliven matter. In fulfilling this Urge to Become, union occurs and more
complex organisms are built.
In any union, the Rod of each part joins with the Rod of any other part,
whether it is the Soul Rod, or in later manifestations, the Evolutionary Rod of Life
which is built. As complexities develop through the interaction of enlivened Matter
and the environment which it creates for itself, these joinings of primary Rods
create complex forms of Rods which, as Matter returns to its simple state, go
onward in these elementary Desire Bodies with these feeble Egos.
Myra: Could I ask you a question there? (Yes.) As we got down to the fourth,
you said “the primary creation”, then go back and go through those first four states, and
they’d repeat the first four stages. Did I understand that? (There is only so much given
Matter, so many assigned ERTs, if you will, which continue to be recycled and
recycled and recycled.) So they don’t go on up through the rest of the Wheel, then.
They just stay in that lower part. (No. They do continue. But in the early stages of the
development of the planet, they only began in, let us say, the first two: Matter to
Life to Environment, and back to Matter, to Life, to Environment, until sufficient
complexity had become developed which demanded a more sophisticated
formulation. Thus the Desire Body became formulated as a vehicle for these
complex Rods to inhabit, another environment built, if you will.) Is that the same
Desire Body that we all have? (That is now a sophisticated vehicle for human life.)
The Realm of Ego is a developed realm, developed as a governing body, if
you will, for the developing subtle environment, which you call “bodies”. The early
environment of which we first spoke, the Involutionary Cycle, built a material
environment. Life interacting with its own material environment develops the subtle
environment which demands governorship. Thus the Ego is developed, created by
Soul.
Betty:Would you explain a little bit more about “governorship”? (Life, in its
Urge to Become, is merely unbridled growth, purposeless, undirected. As a complex
environment becomes developed and stabilized, there must be a “governorship”.
There must be a director, something which is able to develop a plan.)
Jean: May I clear up something? I’m recalling a lab experiment where we put
Mercury and something else together, and it behaved very much like a living thing. It
began to move and divide and behave very much like a living thing, but it wasn’t alive. I
recall that, and I can’t quite get past that. (By what criteria do you judge that it was not
alive?) Oh, well, I guess it did kind of run out of steam eventually. It subsided. (What
you call “alive” does the same.) Oh. That’s right. (As the first life arose, it arose by
chemical reaction. In your terms of today, that primary life would not be considered
a living organism. It is the Rod of Life from the Realm of Soul which brings inert
Matter to an “ert” stage.)
Jean: I think I have it now. There is this chemical which is behaving in a certain
way, but when the Rod of Life goes into it, then it has Purpose and begins to move in a
direction, not just randomly. (It already has the Rod of Life or it could not act within
its own nature.) Oh. You mean when it was a chemical, it already had the Rod of Life?
(Yes, indeed. It is at that time a complex organism, a complex material body, but not
yet Self-Volitional.) Well, what happens to make it Self-Volitional? (The interaction of
it with its environment, which it builds.)
Myra: Well now, in a lab it was in a test tube. How could it affect the
environment?
Jean: As it reacts with the other things, it makes some crud around it, or it does
something. Something is produced as it reacts. And then it interacts with the crud.
Betty: It’s interacting even with the observers. That’s part of the environment,
really.
Jean: And with the light.
LaMar: Why don’t we let her go on with her dissertation?
Jean: I was trying to get it clear in my mind. (It is productive that we must
understand what Environment is.)
Maxine: Environment is all that is around. (Correct, whether gas, or liquid, or
solid. Whether consciousness: self-conscious, subconscious or unconscious.)
Betty: The question would be, then, is where does the environment end? (It does
not.)
Eileen: It would merge with other environments. (Now you begin to see what
Brother Silverthistle has been attempting to convey to you by his description of the
Subtle Bodies and their capacity to intermix.)
Myra: Are there subtle bodies that early? (No. In the Involutionary Spiral there
is not Subtle Body. Subtle Body becomes built by the interaction of Life with its
Environment.)
Jean: Then the moment we recognize something as being alive, as different from
chemical, then that is when the subtle body begins its interacting with the environment. Is
that right? (To a degree that is correct. Remember that we gave, Memory as being
stored. In primary substance the interaction of Life with its Environment creates
Memory, which is stored and used subsequently by Matter which has returned to
primary state. Thus, the Law of Process is invoked as life forms become more
sophisticated as a result of drawing upon Memory established or created by
previous lives.)
Myra: And that’s where Knowledge is built. (Yes.)
Jean: And that starts as early as the paramecium? (Yes. And before. You see,
you are limiting yourselves by the definition established by yourselves.)
Richard: You could say the same thing about there being no solid line between
organic and inorganic chemistry also. (Yes. You draw the line because you expect
certain externalizations in the form of activity. How many gave any credence to the
fact that a rock has consciousness?) It’s still difficult. It’s hard for us to grasp that
concept.) (Now it is true that a rock has very limited Volition. In the early stages of
primary matter, Volition was virtually non-existent in manifestation. Volition is
developed a Matter becomes more sophisticated. Knowledge is acquired,
accumulated, accreted, a memory bank is established, upon which matter can draw
for its future volitional activity. In this way, it continues to create more and more
complex environments.
Out of the continuing complexifications of environment grows Desire, the
Desire Body. Without the jurisdiction of an Ego, you can see what would happen,
can you not? So it is in the Wisdom of the Soul that the Ego is created as a governor.
But in the wisdom granted the Soul by Spirit, the Ego must also grow. It is not
created completed. It is given only that much power that is needed for that which it
shall govern.)
Myra: Would that Ego you mentioned and that Soul you mentioned be power that
comes from the Realm of Soul and Ego? (Yes. We speak now of Realms as well as the
Levels of Being within those realms.
Myra: So when you refer to Ego, it could b a level of development of the
organism? (Yes. An even now, after billions and billions and billions of years of
growth and development, you still can witness extremely primitive Egos, even in
your very complex Specialization as humans.)
Betty:Could you give us a “for instance”? (A human who lives primarily in
the Desire Body, who reaches out to take whatever is desired without consideration
of the source of that which is desired is a very primitive, undeveloped Ego.)
Jean: Is this why it is necessary to develop appreciation and gratitude?
(Precisely. It is in the raising of consciousness, as you term it, that Ego is
sophisticated.)
Sheariam: Now let us move on to Desire and Instinct, for in spite of your billions
of years of history, you are still greatly creatures of Instinct, despite your arrogant
disclaimer that human beings do not operate upon instinct. Instinct is not something
that is native to Matter. It is something developed in the Evolutionary Spiral. It is
the natural development if Memory be stored, if what we say is true. Those Drives
which now are sophisticated drives, much beyond merely the Urge to Become, are
the gears, perhaps the fuel that propels you through a span of years, a collection of
experiences and events. You all share common Instincts, or Instincts in common.
Jenika: Can you give us some examples of some of those Instincts? (To
perpetuate yourselves, to breathe.)
Jean:Now, did you say Drives are Instincts at a higher level? (Yes. In your
progress towards Self-Mastery, you are striving to develop your Component of
Volition to that point that you operate upon Conscious Motivation, rather than on
unconscious drives.
Sheariam:Now, as Instinct becomes a propellant, the Emotional Body becomes
developed, and the Ego must then be stronger for it has more to rule. So it is that
Matter builds those realms above, for as Ego grows stronger, so does the Soul which
has created it. As Ego grows in sophistication, so does the parent Soul. As the Soul
becomes more sophisticated, it in turn sophisticates the realm above it. Thus, as you
move up the Evolutionary spiral, you have more sophisticated realms into which
your life carries you. Thus it is that I told you previously, you have more advantages
in your current situation than I had when I was in the material realm. So it is for all
of us in spirit-Physical and above. As you grow more sophisticated, you enable us to
be more sophisticated. You continue to build the realms above, so in effect, you are
building what you call “God”.
While All That Is, always has been, there is a Quantification of Quality going
on constantly. And the Component Life then manifests differently according to that
Quantification of Quality. Do you better comprehend now what we mean by
Quantification of Quality?
Jean: ` It’s like a piano recital with the first year student first, and then ending up
with the five-year student. It’s the same piano and the same notes, but what comes out is
very different. (More sophisticated.)
Myra: So where is the Rod in all of this? (The Rod is constantly moving from
Realm of Soul into Realm of Matter, realm of Self. As that occurs and
complexification of material formations occurs, the Rod, joining with other Rods,
becomes a more complex organization, and does not return to the Realm of Soul.
Only the shell, the Matter, returns to primary state to again be enlivened by more
Rods involving from Realm of Soul. The complex Rod stays with the subtle body,
first in the Desire, and then in the combined Desire and Emotional, and finally in
the higher realms of the spiral, in the combined subtle bodies of Desire, Emotion,
and Vital.)
Sheariam: It is through this more complex, more sophisticated arrangement,
organization, of Life Rods that the Vital Body receives direct communication
through the Creative and Mental Bodies. Creative and Mental Bodies are under the
guidance of the Realm of Soul, but are used by the Realm of Ego as a resource.
Using these resources, the Ego then can operate in the Realm of Self through the
complexities which have developed it – not created it, but developed it. Soul Creates
the Ego. The Realm of Self developed the Ego.
Now you, as very sophisticated, very complex organisms, are guided by an
Ego. That Ego becomes more sophisticated, stronger, more developed through your
activities. As you develop your Component of Volition, as you Quantify your human
Quality, you enable the Ego to fulfill the mission originally intended by the Soul
which gave rise to that complexity.
Now, there is not merely any single Soul doing all of this. There is a Soul for
the planet, and there are other Souls that have taken the Matter of the planet to
enliven, to fulfill particular Purposes in action. The Intention of the Planetary Soul
is to work out the ramifications of the Law of Dominance. Within that Intention, all
other Soul Intentions at work on and within this planet share in that responsibility.
So all forms of life in and on your planet are under the Law of Dominance.
That does not mean that all of the other laws are inactive, for they are not. All of the
laws are active all of the time. If that were not so, you would not be. But through
your Knowledge of these Laws, through your use of the Principles, through your
development of the Attributes, you accomplish the primary mission and add to the
sophistication of the superior realms. Thus we have great investment in you. We
need you. Thus it is that you can demand of us, but we cannot demand of you.
Betty: That leads me to two questions. In the bible somewhere it says for man to
have “dominion over the earth”. Is this like the governorship of the earth? Is this what is
implied in that? (That teaching is what we have been telling you, that to successfully
build the Attributes of Desire and Feeling, you must have Self-Mastery, dominion
over yourself and the environment which you build.
Now, as you are sophisticated creatures, you build a sophisticated
environment which is dependent upon all the other creatures doing the same thing.
So you must work cooperatively. In order to do this, you must learn what your
powers are. You are only now coming into that sophistication which will enable you
to successfully use all the powers you have at your command. The human design
has, in times past upon your planet, reached great levels of sophistication in certain
arenas of activity, but then became totally out of balance in its attempt to Quantify
its Quality as the Component of Volition was inappropriately used.
Humans have caused their own demise, cutting short an effort that is taking
them in the wrong direction. Such it is with you now in your handling of your
earthly resources to develop machines which kill each other instead of using those
resources to promote the life of your planet. Self-Mastery involves supporting and
promoting all Life. But you must first learn to recognize what Life is.
Many of you, not just you here in this circle, but you as a race of man, rely on
your animal Instincts and ignore the more finely tuned human Instincts. So long as
you live in fear, you will continue to do this. You will not have accomplished
successfully that rung of the Ladder of Karma, which we call Motivation. You still
operate a great deal upon the Racial Memory the racial level of Consciousness. It
will be the special few who recognize their capacity to not only complexify, but to
sophisticate the human Quality, who will be those who lead the Racial
Consciousness into the next level of experience.
Me thinks that is sufficient.
Betty: Not quite. The thought comes to me that in some ways complexifying and
sophistication is a simplification rather than forming more structures and more complex
societies, etc. In some ways is it simplified? (Some things must be simplified, for they
have gone too far along the pathway of complexification to achieve the truly
desirable goal of sophistication.) Could you give us a “for instance”? (Your warring
technology.)
Myra: Those magnificent flying machines that our government just made
contracts for. They are very complex and very advanced and can do all kinds of fancy
things. But are they what we need? (You continue to produce wastes which are
destructive to the Material cell without giving thought to a process which would
neutralize that waste and ultimately a process to recycle it. This is a mistake made
by another civilization on this planet in previous times. And you are still, to this day,
suffering certain consequences of that error of many, many thousands of years ago.)
Owen: Could you elaborate on what that might be? (We would not give that
information or there would be those who would rush to certain places only to
endanger your species more.)
Richard: We have a publication we need to work on, the Cosmic Connection. And
the subject of this issue will be Meditation. At our last planning meeting for that purpose
we realized that we didn’t understand the relationship between guided meditation such as
you lead us in at the end of these circles and meditation in which we enter the silence,
such as Chezray talked of at the last open meeting. Possibly also the concept of
Contemplation and Concentration which she spoke of. Then there is also the question of
how prayer enters in. I realize this is a large subject, but could you give us some guide
points for these concepts?
Sheariam: To address your first question as to Guided Meditations: If you will
recall my first words this night, when a group enters such an exercise, it is best if it
be guided in order to keep thought focused, concentrated and clarified. When a
group sits in silent meditation or contemplation, each mind runs with its own
thought. Sometimes the thought forms resulting from such activities are
inappropriate, uncontrolled, and misguided. Thus we choose to exercise guided
meditations. Chezray’s remarks were meant for the western mind, to guide the
western mind in the direction it needs to go to alleviate some of the superstitions
connected with the thoughts of meditation as delivered to the West from the East.
As for Prayer, that is a private conversation between that Life Form
embodied in the material with the form supported by the complex Rod of which I
spoke. Thus you might have a prayerful conversation with your Ego, with those
groups of Egos which support your life on this planet, which our channel calls
“Source”, or a prayerful conversation with your concept of Godhead.
Invocation is not Prayer. Prayer is and should be conversation, which means
a two-way communication. Thus a prayer of pleading is not appropriate. A
prayerful conversation, whether it is a recitation of your Lord’s Prayer or a
spontaneous prayer from within yourself should always end with some sense of
reply, which might be in the form of comfort, inspiration, motivation, or merely a
clearer understanding of some puzzle.
As you have been previously instructed, your proper form of address to
realms above you, so to speak, is that of Demand Upon Infinite Supply. It is true
that if you seek in the form of asking, you can receive answers which come from that
which is particularly responsible for you as an individual – one of your Source
Group, and even your own Higher Mind, which we will discuss in greater depth as
we move onward in our dissertations of the Karmic Wheel. We cannot discuss that
until you understand what we have already mentioned.
Betty:Invocation. Could you deal with it more? (Invocation is that action
which you use to awaken the power centers within you that are characterized by the
archangels’ names.) This brings another question. You used the word “power” again,
and power in connection with Dominance and Mastery. Could you give a little bit of
distinction between them? (Power is not always that action which defeats another. It
takes Power for you to breathe. It takes Power for your heart to beat. It takes Power
for you to think. You must have the Power Centers activated, all nine of them. Self-
Mastery is achieved when all nine are sufficiently active and successfully
manifesting in your life that you can support and promote all Life on your planet
with equality in fulfilling its mission, when you can fully express and use your quota
of Volition, when you can successfully accomplish that for which you came.)
LaMar: Sheariam, I have a question that I would like to have clarified if I might.
For quite a long time in terms of years, we had in our class a dissertation and then an
indication of questions, and that’s when we asked our questions. There are a number of
members of this class, who are, as I am, disharmonious, because we feel a resentment at
having your dissertation interrupted continuously. I’m wondering if you would clarify
that for us. If that is your wish, then I’m sure that we can abide by it. If it is not your
wish, and I misunderstood you at the beginning, I’m sorry. I was not here last time, but
after reading that transcript I felt that was what you had in mind when you said that static
was being created. I know there were people here last time who were upset at the
continuous interruption of your dissertation.
Sheariam: First of all, my dissertation may not be as important as the
comprehension level. If dialogue raises that comprehension level, then it is dialogue
that is needed. A dissertation which goes beyond the comprehension of the group is
pointless and, ultimately, unserviceable. It is better to have points cleared up as the
dissertation proceeds, if that is necessary for comprehension.
In early times of our teaching, most did not know enough to ask a question or
were in too much awe to do so. It is gratifying to us that you can now treat us as
persons equal, even, if you will, to whom you can address a question or a challenge.
If we have something to say, we will simply override you. But harmony in the group
is absolutely essential for the true clear transmission.
LaMar: Yes, that was the reason I asked the question. I would like to have that
harmony. I was a part of the group in the Tuesday night class. I went over there and
joined them to try to help bring that harmony. Due to the wandering minds and
disharmony, the group finally died. Also in the Saturday night class we had that
experience. I wanted to simply clear the atmosphere, not only for myself but for others.
I also have another question that I have been pondering over -- for instance, the
fact that the Lazarus and Ramtha tapes are going and millions of people who have
learned about this sort of thing who prior to this did not know anything about it. I had
wondered if the reason that his is becoming active and becoming accepted, even on our
television, is there some reason for it? I’m sure there is a reason. Is it just that humanity
has finally caught up with that, or it has finally caught up with humanity, whatever the
case may be. Or is it that you folks are coming in greater numbers, and it’s being
accepted more because of the coming earth changes. Can you give me any insight on
this?
Sheariam: As you were given some months ago, the pendulum has swung. As
given earlier this night, our realms depend upon yours. What you do creates our
lives, our future, as well as your own. Mankind has delivered himself to that state of
chaos at which we feel our own future is in jeopardy. Thus we come to help alleviate
some of the more serious circumstances and consequences of mankind’s actions.
While we are dependent upon you, and you do create our future, we also create that
future. We do have a say in what goes on within certain limitations which we cannot
at this time describe to you. But the phenomenon is present because we are
attempting to sustain our physical aspect.
LaMar: Thank you. It has been very gratifying to me, having been in this for some
time, to see other people, in great multitudes actually, becoming acquainted with it. I
wondered if it was something of that nature that was the reason it was so very active and
prevalent at this time. (Because of the level of intellect which gathered in this
particular group, you have been granted this more esoteric, more sophisticated
information than is coming through elsewhere.)
Betty: Sheariam, if you will please, some further clarification. As you know,
tomorrow we are starting our retreat on the Law of Dominance. I would like personally a
definition of Dominance, distinguishing it from control and some of those other things.
(That is not for us to give you. We cannot solve all of your problems like instant
mashed potatoes.) (Laughter.)
Another thing, going back to Memory, the fact that all memory is retained. Does
it help us in this particular level where we are now, this state of Consciousness, physical
being, etc., to try to identify what these memories are? (Yes.) Therefore approach them
with clarity and decide whether we want to keep them, or whether they’re obsolete. (It
will be part of your Self-Mastery to deal with those memories, to bring them out of
the level of Instinct, and bring them into the level of Motivation.)
Maxine: Are dreams a way of bringing them out? (Yes.)
Myra: You asked us last time to continue our meditations on primitive life forms.
(Yes.) You mentioned memory at that time. I find that very difficult to do. (Of course.)
But you want us still to try to work on dreams to bring those memories out into our
conscious minds. (It is a good exercise in humility.)
Betty: Could we, in the future at some time, deal with some of the physical things
– generalities. You spoke of our physical bodies as being one of the most effective tools
that we have right now, and it seems that we spend so much time just keeping them
working. Could we, at some time, talk about polarizers? We talk about electric lines. We
talk about microwaves. We hear we should not do this. We should not do that. Could we,
at some time, get into some of these things, what the effect of them really is? (When we
have completed our program, we will then move into other more generalized items.)
Are there any of these right now that are causing real blockages then that we can open up
more if we avoided them? (That could not be answered in such a general manner as
to be appropriate to the group.)
Myra: So it is more individual then? (Yes.)
Peggy: There was a program on 20-20, questions, and it said something about the
ozone and the hole in the sky and what all of these sprays in this atmosphere is
destroying. Can you give us any information on that? (The ozone layer is part of the
environment built by the enlivened matter of your planet, which you are now
destroying.) Does this have anypart of the program that is supposed to be scheduled for
a couple of years from now? (Part of what program?) The 1989 that you told us about
earth changes. (Nothing that occurs on your planet is separate from anything else. If
we have made no other statement, that you must understand. (Very emphatic.) You
are a part of the tree which grows outside your window, which is a part of the cloud
which floats above it in the sky. We cannot state that any more strongly.)
Betty: If we do not know what to ask for, or what to visualize, or what to do – in
other words, we could visualize perhaps clearing out this pollution (some words followed
that were not understandable). But if we do not know what to ask for, we can simply ask
that Divine Will be done? (You do not ask for Divine Will to be done. You will Divine
Will to be done.)
Jean: I have been working on the early meditations that were given before I
came with the group, and on the staircase, going up, I had 34 steps, and going down I had
45. I had the experience of looking to left and right. I looked, and part of my life that I
had forgotten, I re-lived in quite a vivid way. It was painful, but it was satisfactory, too.
But I wondered about the meaning of the steps. (The first part of your life was a life in
which you had to bring a number of things into balance. You had to assert a certain
degree of self-understanding in order to manifest that which you needed for the
latter part of your life. The latter half of your life is a concluding time. You are tying
up and closing out, preparing for a new cycle. The events which you re-experienced
had not been totally integrated into this process, and the meditation gave you that
opportunity.)
Thank you. In the well one, I was getting a very static well, and this time my well
was very strange. It was at the edge of the ocean, and it was really in the rock. When the
ocean came up, it flooded the well. Yet, when I went to drink, if I took the top off, the
bottom was fresh. The top was not too salty, but the bottom part was fresh water. (That is
a very clear indication of what is transpiring now within your consciousness. You
are in these latest periods of learning, discovering that much of your knowledge was
polluted by your earlier attitudes towards it, whereas now, with a different kind of
information, you are seeing it fresh and new. It also plays its part in this concluding
activity of this life span.)
Maxine: When I think about the different meditations such as the well or the
pyramid, does one type or kind of meditation serve some purpose more than another
kind? Or can you just choose what you prefer to do when you prefer to go to the well or
go to the pyramid? (The thought that arises within your awareness is the indicator
which you should use at that particular moment.)
RetaMae: Speaking of this type of thing that we are talking about now, I went to the
well, and I ended up in the pyramid. Another time I went directly to the pyramid. My
teacher was there. He had scrolls. It seemed like it was a long time, and yet it was a very
short period of time. I just totally became transparent and went to the top of the pyramid
and “hovered”, the only word I can use, around the top and surveyed the land and the
people working and everything. Then I came back to my living room. Could you
comment on that? (That was an out-of-body experience combined with a pre-life
memory.)
Sheariam: Let us draw our evening to a conclusion with a meditation. As you
settle your bodies and relax your minds, allow to come into your awareness a
recollection of any place wherein you find a carefree peace, where you can set aside
the concerns of your life, and for a moment, be free in time. Feel the freedom of
pure air to breathe. Feel the freedom of that pure air circulating around your
material body. In this refreshment, feel also the circulation of this pure air through
your Desire Body, cleaning out pettiness, selfish self-concern, egotistical commands,
small tyrannies.
As this cleansing process goes forward, you become then more aware of your
desire for a clean environment, not only for yourself, but for your future
generations which follow you. That is a clean environment of Desire. That Desire
leads you only to want that which is rightfully yours, and comes from unlimited
abundance.
As this awareness rises within you, your Emotional Body responds with
calmness, with peacefulness, undeterred courage, confidence. With the clarity of
cleanliness, your Vital Body glows with vitality. You feel strong, vigorous, healthy
and whole. With this clearing out and with this strengthening, the Material Body
casts off its ailments, its inefficiencies, and its deficiencies.
In this clarity, you become very aware of your contact with the Creative
Body, and that rich storehouse, the Mental Body, through which your soul Intention
reaches you with direct influence. You feel a strengthening of your motivation, a
courage which enables you to face whatever may confront you. This gives you a
liberty of spirit, a sense of freedom.
As this fills your Material Body, you emit a healing energy, so that you are
not only healed yourselves, your cup is filled and overflowing. Invite your loved ones
to share in this overflowing. (Many names softly spoken.)
As the room fills with your overflowing, the temple healers come to join you,
and they meet the consciousnesses of your loved ones who also respond to the
invitation. There is great joy. Feel your hearts lift in response to that joyousness,
until there is a singing in the very veins of your body.
The rhythm of the group becomes one pulse beat of freedom and joy and
wholeness. Such freedom cannot be contained, whether or not you will it. It moves
into the atmosphere of your planet and promotes good will among all members of
your race.
We give thanks to the healers who have joined us, and we bless those loved
ones who have joined us. We bless ourselves for participating in this effort. Now we
release ourselves to return to daily concerns, encouraged, strengthened, and free. In
this spirit of love and blessing, I bid all, go in great joy and peace.
Closed with “Let there by joy on earth.”
