SESSION #8 – November 6, 1982 Gloria’s Circle
Present: LaMar Bell, Ida Nevala, Myra and Nestor Perala, Larry and Eileen Horton, Owen and Maxine Cramer.
Gloria retired during the singing of the first song, “Open My Eyes”, and Silverthistle immediately came through very strongly. There was very great strength and energy there from the very first word uttered. It was most exciting.
S/T: Good evening. I feel the time is right that we should have our healing service first. If you will then, let us prepare ourselves. Put your palms together and work. Magnificent. The beauty is everywhere. Now take a deep breath and bring in your loved ones. We would like for you to assist us. There are some in transition who need your help. Now let us see how large a ball of beautiful shimmering scintillating blue and green you can produce. (vigorous rubbing of hands). Visualize the light – the blues – the greens – and see the energy pouring forth from the palms of your hands. Visualize that ball of light in the center of the room – scintillating – moving – shimmering. Now let its healing rays fill your own bodies as you visualize the ball getting larger and larger, filling the room. Just feel that circulation of energy. It is tremendous. The instrument is certainly not cold any longer. And now with your powers of visualization, see the light growing larger and larger until it surrounds the entire planet and brings its healing to all the leaders of nations. That is a beautiful job you have done. We thank you and bless you for your help. Be sure that you bring your palms together to lock the energies within your own body, that the healing shall continue for yourselves. Bless you, and bless you, and bless you. And so we shall be onward with the homily for this evening. “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.” Let us first consider what is meant by the word “heart.” It is said one has heart for something, or one takes something to heart. In all of your folk sayings, when you use the word “heart’ you are speaking of a within-ness. Thus this universal law speaks of the life within you. The Chinese use the word “liver” rather than “heart.” So we are now then speaking of that which lives within. Then let us consider the word “see”. You hear yourselves say “Ooh, I see”, meaning, of course, that you comprehend, that you understand, that you have the gist of the meaning or the essence thereof. And now let us consider the word “pure”. Here we speak of no pollution, no distortion, that understanding that is not covered by the veil of illusion. Thus this law does not mean that if you think good thoughts, you shall at some future time come into the presence of god and thus see god as separate from yourself. It is the law that says the unpolluted, the undistorted, the clear comprehension within thyself understands, is in possession of the essence of god. This is a law. It applies whether or not you understand the law itself. And thus ends my homily for tonight. And so it is. …. And now I believe that you had a duty to perform during our period of separation. The time is now when we shall discuss your efforts. Who among you will be the first?
LaMar: I had a very, very beautiful experience with this exercise. I found that it took about thirty steps to go up to the landing. The question I had was to my higher self, which is where I felt that I was going. The question I had for my higher self was, “If petitioned by me could my higher self be involved in healing in the physical body?” It is my understanding that the higher self usually does not involve itself with the running of the physical body, since if it did, we would not have free will. My question was “Upon my petition, would the higher self help with healing, and knowing that there is within me the pattern for the perfect physical body, can this perfect physical body be achieved?” I was not able to understand an answer excepting that everything seemed to be very beautiful, and I was very, very happy there and when leaving. When I went down the other stairs I only went about ¼ to ½ as far as I had gone in going up, and the stairs ended in an absolutely beautiful deep, rich-looking blue cloud – deep blue as far as the eye could see. As I came down, I seemed to just disappear into this beautiful blue cloud. As I left the platform and started down the stairs, each time I was full of joy and ecstasy, and was throwing my arms into the air, so happy I could hardly contain myself.
S/T: You did most excellently! Now the thirty stairs that you climbed upward represent the lives which you are fulfilling now. It is the ten times three for you. Thus you have three life streams that are being culminated. Your physical condition is resultant from the errors of these three life streams. Thus your desire at the time to request higher assistance, an acknowledgment of humility which is proper and right for you. Thus your answer came in your feeling of beauty and euphoria, and the fact that you only had to go down half way. Therein lies the implication that you shall not return to this planet consciousness unless you so choose when the time for such choice arrives. God bless you.
Myra: I approached the chapel where I meditated and quieted myself by breathing and stretching. I had chosen to glance at the J. B. Phillips “Your God Is Too Small” and read the final chapter regarding death. It reinforced what we have learned in our circle. As I went into silence, I asked for protection and offered the Lord’s Prayer. Then I began searching for the staircase. I found myself out of doors in a wooded area. There were tree-covered hills surrounding me, and the stairs simply rose from the ground. I found myself climbing. I climbed up three, turned on a landing and ascended three more steps to another landing. Then the steps lifted six at a time to the next landing until I had climbed 24 steps in increments of six. When I arrived at the top, the steps were surrounded by a tower rather like the Astor Column. I gazed out over a variety of landscapes, and felt thrilled at the views. They became ethereal and I sensed a calm serenity. I must have stayed there five to ten minutes and decided it was time to descend. As I turned to look for the descending staircase, I discovered there were only six gently sloping steps to a softly rolling grassy bank. As I arrived at the bank, I felt rather elated to have been able to find the staircase, because it took a few minutes for them to become visualized. I also felt good that I was going to be lifted up daily during the coming weeks. I do hope this will help me to establish a firm habit of daily meditation. Thank you Silverthistle.
S/T: Let us consider this one to which you have made reference. The fact that the staircase rises directly out of the ground shows your rash nature and your self-initiatory energy. You are a self-starter when you arrive in the correct place. The number of steps represents the act of man in numerology. Thus this lifetime is to incorporate physical activity which then will take you to that pinnacle of bliss. But you must be self-initiatory about it. As you began your ascent there were only three steps showing half intention, but you completed another three steps after taking a turn. Thus your life in its earliest stages of this span needed to have a turn taken before you could begin to perform the acts necessary. Thus you have proceeded through your life. You have come to those times and places and met with those people necessary or conducive for you to perform the acts which you brought as a mission into this life span. The fact that you also had six stairs going down, but they were sloping and gentle indicates that you may come back to this consciousness to perform acts of gentleness and guidance and kindness. But you will do so out of love rather than requirement. God bless you.
Eileen: I have kind of a half one. Mine seemed to be rising out of a mist or emptiness like space. I didn’t seem to be standing on solid ground and the stairs were about four feet wide and about four inches deep. They were made out of marble. They were very beautiful and seemed to go right up into the sky. They had banisters made of gold. They were quite beautiful. As I walked up the stairs there didn’t seem to be anything under it except clouds. There were eighteen stairs. When I got to the top, I looked over the side, and I seemed to look way down a great distance. It was almost like looking down into the Columbia Gorge. There was a river, and it was blue just like Crater Lake blue, just very, very blue, and right alongside the river was the most beautiful little cluster. I wouldn’t say it was a castle. It was more like the buildings you see over in Greece. In fact, I saw one almost like it on TV a few nights afterwards that had domes that were rather high, narrow domes, and this building was white, a most beautiful, glowing white. This beautiful white structure beside the beautiful blue river was something to see. I just saw it for a matter of a few seconds. Then I couldn’t get down the stairs. I lost my visualization, and I had no stairs to get down so I just stayed up there.
S/T: Very well. Your stairs or staircases rising out of the mist are indicative of your artistic temperament and the fact that you are stimulated and motivated out of the intuitive capacity more than through the physical stimuli which you experience in this life. The eighteen stairs represent a culmination, a wholeness, and demonstrate the fact that you are in this lifetime creating substances which will persuade long past the life span itself. Your reluctance to come into this life and your reluctance to think about re-entering this life after this life span is reflected in the loss of your visualization. Thus you were not able to find the staircase down. However, the temple which you witnessed beside the river is the temple of art from which you are generated and to which you shall return when this life-span is over, when you have created all that you were meant to create in this life span. You have a special mission, not only to comfort and entertain, but also to instruct through the beauty of the form which you create. There is indeed no new creation! You simply take that which is already existent and put it together in a different mode according to the consciousness in which you now dwell. Beauty is one of the main intentions of race man. These lessons will follow as we talk about the purpose of life as you are now focused. God bless you.
Maxine: I would like to tell what I remember. As I remember I went upstairs, broad stairs with banisters much like a Maxfield Parrish picture. I reached a certain plateau and stayed there. When it came time to go down, I know I decided I was not going down. I don’t remember any more than that.
S/T: The substance of your staircase shows your involvement in the materiality of this reality and your reluctance to return to it and your confusion as to how to deal with it. I regret that you did not ask a question or determine what you wanted most to do when you arrived at the top of the staircase. Neither have you given a number of steps. Thus I bid you continue the exercise, and we shall discuss it again. God bless you.
Larry: For some time I have had trouble trying to relax or calm myself. I have tried to visualize a staircase several times. I just couldn’t get with it. Finally I could see a staircase which would be in a southern mansion 100 years or so ago. Thirty two was the number that came to mind, but I didn’t know if it was thirty-two steps or what the thirty- two was for. It was so easy to all of a sudden go from the bottom to the top without huffing or puffing or counting steps or even feeling my legs moving. The thing that has always been in the past, when I meditate or get relaxed too many experiences I have had in my younger life or past life or this life, the good or something that I enjoyed or appreciated seems to come to my mind. This was very odd because here I was standing close to the top of the staircase. The color I was looking at was light grey which is usually the color I’d see and cream white. Of all things I can visualize, about five memories came. I went to ask the question and said, “Oh here I am again visualizing something that I enjoyed in the past, I’m going to pass this one up without going any further. It seemed like I’d just fade off into thin air. No problem. I’d just disappear. I didn’t return to the bottom of the steps.
S/T: Very well. All through your recitation it came through loud and clear the clinging to the past and to tradition. The number evidenced thirty-two becomes five. Five is the number of man – man embodied in the physical. Thus your mind is speaking to you that this lifetime is one to experience the physical life, not to the exclusion of soul development, for the aspiration (tape ran out)….. …..in all its detail, and take note also of your thoughts and your feelings as you deal with this memory. In this way you are rounding out the experience of physical life in this life span so that at that time when you are required to evaluate your performance, you will have valid data by which to do so. God bless you. Do we have another? (no response from group) Very well, then, I would suggest that we take advantage of the time we have left and participate in some dialogue. If you have questions – either about your personal life as it may have to do with something of interest to the group, a question perhaps on personal development and growth, or if you wish to ask any question about material presented, this would seem to be an excellent time to do so.
LaMar: We have been discussing the possibility of the group getting together some other time than just on the alternate Saturday nights to go over the transcripts of this class and discuss and possibly formulate questions if there was something we didn’t understand. I would be interested in your reaction to that idea.
S/T: This would most certainly be a beneficial plan. I regret that we cannot dawdle along the way. There have been some changes and physical circumstances are shaping in the instrument’s life which require us to utilize this time we have together to the greatest possible extent. Thus your lessons are going to be speeded up.
(Some group interaction regarding group study meetings between sessions with Silverthistle and Gloria.)
Owen: I’d like to ask a question. In our ARE group, we have a prisoner member in Texas. He has been in prison about five years and was looking forward to parole which apparently has just been denied. I’m wondering if there is a possibility that you might be able to give some guidance as to what our group in particular could do that would help him get through this very difficult period and help him make something constructive during this time that he is in so trying an environment.
S/T: He is having to make this answer to the social group. This is an individual responsibility. Your best efforts to assist him is in your prayers and in your healing circle, for it is truly his personal responsibility to resolve the problem in which he finds himself involved.
LaMar: Since last we met I have had a healer at my place doing healing. I am trying to help the people who come there to understand that they have an obligation to accept the healing when it comes and I have been trying to do that by pointing out to them, as I said before, that there is a pattern for perfect health within them and the healer is trying to align them with the Infinite. It is up to them to accept the healing and keep it once it is there. I am wondering if you have any suggestions as to anything further that might be done to help these people accept their healing.
S/T: Again I must reiterate. You cannot live another’s life. You can only offer the pattern as Jesus did. You can point out that which is beneficial, but it is like giving advice on any matter. Each individual will accept his healing when he is ready to do so. You can but act as a signpost and as an example yourself.
LaMar: Thank you. This has also given me another question. We have been discussing the possibility of holding meetings once a week or once each two weeks to discuss and to study this type of healing. Would you consider this might be beneficial?
S/T: Most certainly so! Each and every individual has the capacity to be a healer, but you are well aware that few live up to their highest potential. If out of such a group only one should spring forth as a benefit to his fellow man then the effort would not be for nothing.
LaMar: Thank you, that is wonderful. If there aren’t any more questions right now I would like to ask one more. When I approach someone, at their invitation usually, and place my hands next to their body, there is a tremendous energy force apparently that flows out of my right hand. The palm of that hand is extremely hot. I’m wondering just how much value, how much healing, that has for the person I am trying to help.
S/T: Within this question lie three mini-lessons, if you will. First and foremost in accordance with the pattern that you were given, you must not give of such help until you are asked. Lesson #1. Lesson #2, you have become aware of that subtle energy which is available within yourself to deliver help to another. You surely must recognize that this energy is not of yourself, but it comes in from a cosmic source. In your awareness you will come to feel the entry of this energy. In some instances, it will come through your back. Sometimes it will come up as though from the earth through the soles of your feet, and very often it will enter through the chakras in the crown. Your body acts as a condenser, a focalizer, of this energy, and your hands become so warm to deliver this energy. When you enter the auric field of another, it is as though you have grounded an electric wire, and electrically charged wire. This energy is that energy to which we all aspire. Thirdly, each time you go to sleep, each and every one of you focus your consciousness away from physical reality. In doing so you permit the subtle bodies to separate from this physical shell which you inhabit. This disassociation may only be very slight in some instances, and at other times, so extensive you allow considerable distance between the subtle bodies and the physical. In this latter instance you may consciously achieve or experience what is commonly known in your reality as an out-of-body experience. The regular cycle of disassociation is absolutely essential to the nutrition of your body. All of the pure foods, herbs or anything else, which you ingest, will not serve the body without this disassociation so that cosmic energy can do the necessary. In the act of grounding this energy into another person, you are filling up that slack which the ill person has been unable to fill for himself because he is so intensely focused into the imperfect physical reality of his waking hours. Do you understand?
LaMar: Yes, very much. In fact I have made the point with many people about getting the attention off the disease, stop lending energy to the disease, and try to get the attention onto god or other pleasant things. I just told my sister the other day that when she loves god more than she loves her disease, she will be healed. Eileen: When you go to sleep at night, and we allow our consciousness to be raised to the higher realms and disassociate ourselves from the physical…..
S/T: It is at that time that the cosmic energy recharges the subtle bodies which have dominion over the functions of the physical body. Your subtle bodies, if not regularly fed with this cosmic fire, cease to fulfill their obligation and the physical vehicle suffers. This is how there are people who can ingest any material into the physical body and the physical body is not harmed by it, because the subtle bodies are so highly charged that the physical body indeed does not need physical nourishment, but can be sustained entirely by the cosmic fire.
Eileen: Could you define just what the subtle bodies are. I don’t quite understand that.
S/T: This is speaking of something which is to be duly discussed in your lessons, but for now I shall try to explain as best I can. The soul body, of which you are an extension, or an extended portion, is comprised of what we shall call “god- stuff” for now. The soul entity chooses to have a particular experience based on rules which shall later be discussed. In any event, a portion of the soul body is extruded as an independent ego. A body, a physical body, is chosen for this ego to inhabit in order to experience, for instance, this physical reality. Now in order for that physical body to be animated, the ego must build subtle bodies – some of electro-magnetic energy, some of other finer stuff – and in occult circles, these are spoken of sometimes, or somewhat erroneously, as astral bodies, etheric bodies, mental bodies, emotional bodies, etc. It is erroneous in thinking that these bodies are separate, for instance, as the layers of an onion. While they are generated from the inward to the outward by the ego, they are not as separate as the layers of onion skins. They are more interpenetrated. You are aware that as you think, you can make yourself feel. If you witness something happening which is of unhappy circumstances, even though it does not affect you personally, you then experience sad emotions. The reverse is also true. You may feel sad about a personal matter and then begin to think sad or depressed thoughts. So you see that the mental body and the emotional body operate together and are hardly distinguishable from each other. So it is with the etheric and the astral and the physical. The physical is a result of the other bodies. Now you say, “How can that be?” if the fetus is formed as we know gestation takes place. At each point of conception the soul entity of which those parents are a part provides that forming fetus with what you might call a fetus-sitter… Thus it is that there are children born who are not yet claimed in actual fact to the ego to which they shall eventually belong. Sometimes, these babies are not claimed due to circumstances. Thus you have mysterious crib deaths. As the fetus is formed, the soul entity has control of this either through the ego assigned or through the fetus-sitter as to the hormonal balance, as to the cell division, as to anything else that is potentially genetically possible for that fetus. Thus the fetus becomes the ideal physical vehicle for the assigned ego to fulfill its mission. Now this is given in over-simplified terms, but I trust that it will answer your questions for now.
(After some various non-essential comments from various people) Eileen: What I am wondering is when is it different? When does the soul enter this fetus? How does that work?
S/T: Remember I said the soul entity extrudes a portion of itself. It is not a complete soul which enters the fetus. It is an “ego”, an “I” identity, an entity which claims the fetus. The ego has access to the soul parent and carries its portion of that parent even as the fetus carries a portion of the parental DNA. Thus there are patterns established not only in the physical body, but in all other bodies as well, based on the parental genes of the soul. Extrusion is that act of sending forth a portion of the main body, whatever it may be, into a particularized form.
LaMar: When does the heart actually start beating? Is that beating in the soul as it becomes a fetus or at what point?
S/T: The beating is indeed the parent soul. That pulsation which you call heartbeat is a reflection of the soulbeat – of the vibratory frequency. Now when a physical body develops heart disease and the beat becomes erratic or sporadic or interrupted in any way, it is evident that the ego has in some way strayed away from the focalization – has in some way lost contact with the parent soul. (after some wondering questions about what Silverthistle has just given, he goes on.) The extruded portion of the soul entity which we here call ego is programmed, if I may use that term, to go through life with a certain frequency which is a pattern in the parent soul. The heartbeat of the fetus picks up that frequency as do all cells as subatomic material of the body. When the heart beats as determined by a stethoscope for instance is irregular in any way, it is evident that the ego has gotten out of tune with the parent soul. For an analogy, let’s take a radio. Let us say that the parent entity, the parent soul (end of tape again)
(October 2005: Interjected by Gloria: As I studied these last two paragraphs, I became quite disturbed, because I experienced a mild heart attack sometime in the mid 1980’s, at a time when I was channeling this material quite intensely. Silverthistle’s dissertation made me question whether or not I was out of tune with my soul entity at the time this heart attack occurred, when I actually felt I was doing the very thing I was meant to do. Without warning of any kind, Silverthistle “popped” in and began a clarification of what he had said. His appearance was so unexpected and startling, I did not get his words verbatim. I just sat in front of the word processor with my hands in my lap listening. Here is what I understand from what he told me. It is true that the heartbeat of the individual and the soulbeat of the soul entity are harmonized from the beginning. However there is always the possibility that the soul entity itself has some situation or circumstance in its life that is reflected in the soulbeat, just as human situations and circumstances are reflected in the heartbeat. That soul entity’s situation or circumstance will affect the situations and circumstances of the indwelling entity. Harmonized heartbeats and soulbeats do not necessarily mean that the human heart is “perfect” in human terms. It is perfect in terms of the overall situation, so that some humans may have defective hearts from the beginning, and that is perfect for them. When a human heart becomes diseased, but was not diseased from the beginning, then the situation arises of the indwelling entity getting out of “sync” with its soul entity. If there has been no history of heart ailment, and one suddenly has a heart attack, that would imply being out of tune. In my particular situation, I was born with a defective heart, and the heart attack was a means to warn me that I was pushing too hard. All I needed to do was rest, and that is what I did, and I returned to what is “normal” for me. There was further clarification with comments about patterns in the DNA, but my above comments pretty well condenses Silverthistle’s message. This was a very intense experience, but all the time I felt nourished, loved and comforted. When Silverthistle left, it was with a “pat” on my head. I immediately went to the phone to consult with Owen as to whether or not to include this here as an interjection or as a footnote in an appendix. We decided putting this information here was the most instructive way to go.)
Myra: You said in occult circles they erroneously label the layers of bodies, etheric body, emotional body, etc. This is erroneous because it is not interconnected enough? They separate them too much. Is that what you meant?
S/T: That is correct. The occultist speaks as though any of these bodies can pursue an independent life. They have carried it to the extreme of ridiculousness.
Myra: I have been reading a book on radionics about this very subject, and it describes the seven layers of bodies outside the physical body.
S/T: You cannot massage a portion of the physical body without also massaging a portion of the other bodies. You cannot, in any way, by any means set up a vibration in any one body without there being a resonance in all the others. Now if you were to separate them, as the layers of onion skins, one layer cannot respond and the others go on. That is not so.
LaMar: This brings another question to mind. The idea which I have picked up as I have come through life is that we are indeed one with god. We live in a giant sea of mind – that mind being god. It interpenetrates the etheric body so we live in god and god lives in us. Then originally our body was supposed to be the image and likeness of god. If there is something wrong with it, it is something we have created. In other words, we are out of tune with god in somewhat the same way you just described as the heartbeat of the fetus-- the heartbeat being out of tune or out of synchronization with the soul heartbeat.
S/T: As you have been given by Judith, the early, very earliest beginnings of this physical reality into which you are now focused, as well as many other realities available to you into which you focus by changing your consciousness, all stem from a single source. The original dewdrop, if you will, as pure god, but not total god. From this seedpod has developed all of these realities to which you have access. The teaching that man is made in the image of god is a teaching man has devised to comfort himself, to prove to himself that he is indeed the one who has dominion. Man is very, very far from that original source. Now when I speak of this “farness”, I speak of the distance which exists not in space and time but in perhaps viewpoint. Two people can witness an identical thing or a singular thing. Their description will vary greatly. There is great distance then between the two minds that witness the same event. In this way man is far distance from the original purity. Man is indeed the image of that which created him but totally incomplete, minutely fragmented, from the perfection of the soul entity which has extruded him. The soul entity itself is an extrusion of a higher body, and the hierarchy goes on and on almost to infinitude from the viewpoint of the infinite mind in this physical reality focused. The differences that you find in man certainly should demonstrate to you that this is so. This is why Jesus claimed to be The Way. Jesus is the perfect example of what man can be when he is in tune with that most pure essence that has come from the original seed. There is within each and everyone the potential of perfection. But this falls down for you when you look for it in the minute flash of a life span.
LaMar: Approximately a year and a half ago when going through a very difficult situation, when my wife left, I decided that the only way I should react would be to return love for hatred and greed. Shortly after that, I found myself waking in the middle of the night as if I were lying in a giant sea of love. The entire room seemed to be filled with blue. I had the feeling as I awoke, “the bible says god is love and I am one with god.” I’m wondering if you could give me any clues as to what was happening there. I know I am not the same as god. This happened tome three or four times during that time of stress.
S/T: Be not misled by my words, you are indeed one with god. That purest essence permeates all that is, all that is available, in any reality for you. You will recall an earlier homily when you were told about pain and suffering as a need for comfort. It is in these kinds of travail that you manage to dis-associate and re-focus your consciousness, and tune in to that purest of essence which interprets in the physical reality as love. You see, indeed at all times you are not swimming, if you will, in this sea of love because your consciousnesses are not focused into it . It is then not a reality to you. The pain and discomfort of the physical is the reality into which you are focused because you do not always remember when your consciousness has been focused elsewhere such as in a dream state. The physical reality seems to you to be continuous. You are aware of physics, the laws of physics, which pertain to the light bulb. That light is blinking off and on, but your eye perceives a steady beam. Your life, as you think it is, is not as it appears. The physical reality into which you are focused is also blinking off and on, but you are unaware of those times that it is off. Thus it appears to be a continuous stream for you. The only thing that is truly continuous is consciousness itself.
LaMar: There is then also another reason why we should get our mind and attention off the little aches and pains or anything that is wrong in the physical body. Focus (our attention) away from that.
S/T: You must not overlook those signals, however, because they are making you focus your consciousness into the fact that in some way you have gotten out of tune. If you are in perfect attunement, you will not have any aches or pains.
(Interjection by Gloria in 2005: The exception here is if the soul entity is working something out through these aches or pains in the physical reality. But the source of these aches and pains would be evident in the human life from the beginning. Genetic influence programmed into the DNA. For instance, if diabetes, arthritis, etc. are a confirmed history in the genetic line, aches and pains, etc. from this, or the disease itself is not an indicator of being out of attunement, but is actually part of the individual destiny. So the individual must look to the source of his discomfort to determine whether or not he needs to make some changes. Sometimes, the changes the human individual makes is what the soul entity needs. How to make these changes is what Silverthistle is speaking to in the following.)
S/T: Refocus your consciousness into the perfect image. If you have a fingernail that has been damaged, you visualize that fingernail as being whole and perfect, and it becomes healed. It does, indeed, become whole and perfect.
LaMar: When we had this healer here we were telling people that his purpose in that room working with them was to try to help realign them with the infinite, to bring them back into focus with god. Was this a correct statement?
S/T: That is correct. That is indeed the miracle performed by Jesus. He said, “Thou art whole.” Never in the miracles did he suggest at any time “Thou are not whole.” He said, “Go and sin no more.” In other words, go your way, but do not get out of attunement.
LaMar: He also at no time ever suggested that any particular person could not be healed. I have made the statement a number of times to the doctors that there are no incurable disease, only incurable people.
S/T: Actually the incurability lies within the psyche. Thus it is that one can only heal one self. That is not to say that others do not lend a hand. The “psyche” as I use it here might also be analogous with the mental body. Bodies are multidimensional. Thus you have a conscious knowledge and a subconscious knowledge, and an unconscious knowledge in each of your bodies. As long as there is a lack of attunement healing is not available. Thus one might say the ailment is incurable, but it is only the psyche that can bring about the attunement of the other corporate parts.
Eileen: Silverthistle, could you tell us a little about how we might improve our visualization technique? I have a great deal of trouble visualizing.
S/T:Starting at the most elemental level, take an object which is quite boring and mundane – a pencil for instance. Hold it in your hand. Look at it. Feel it. Become as conscious of it as you can in any way that your imagination can devise. Then put the pencil down. Close your eyes, and re-experience those sensations, both visual and tactile, not to exclude any emotional experience. You will then find that key which enables you to envision something. Because one seldom becomes emotionally involved with a pencil, (one can) with what it represents, but not with the pencil itself. Be aware that everything in your physical world is only a symbol. It is not actually real. Even your physical body is a symbol of the word spoken by your soul entity. Each physical thing is a manifestation of a basic principle. These basic principles in your consciousness are the focus of your current reality as expressed in verbs. A chair is a symbol of the verb “to sit”. You can expand that principle from there. A pencil is a symbol of the verb “to express”. Your physical body is a symbol of the verb “to be”.
Eileen: Silverthistle, I was told that I should meditate thinking of colors, and I have been trying to do that. I’m having trouble with it although I work with colors all the time. Do you think I am trying something that I shouldn’t be? Is this the reason?
S/T: You are not being sufficiently focused in that you work with colors on a multi-colored pallet. You permit yourself to move from one color to the next. I would recommend that you choose one of the primary colors, preferably blue. Concentrate on a chip painted blue, or anything in the physical that is a shade of blue to which you emotionally respond. With the same exercise as with the pencil, concentrate on the blue until you can create an entire ambiance of blue about yourself and within yourself. Then move on to one of the other colors.
LaMar: It is my understanding that blue is a spiritual color and green is the physical. Is this correct?
S/T: Yes and no. Again we go back to the fact that the mental body and the emotional body are not separate. If you will allow, although this is not precise, we will say spirit body, or spiritual body, is not separate. Thus you know that when you visualize blue, green does creep in, and when you visualize green, blue creeps in. You cannot, with the capacity now evolved within you, be that highly focused except when you are tuned in to that pure divine essence of which we spoke earlier.
LaMar: Sometime back when I was having trouble inside, I was visualizing alternate blue, green and gold filling my inner self. One morning as I was meditating I started to do that, but the blue, green and gold didn’t want to be there. Everything inside seemed to want to be jet black. I just accepted that as a healing color and left it there. Was I correct?
S/T: Black is the absence of color or the absence of light. Your psyche was telling you that it had absorbed all it could handle at that point in time so you did the right thing although your explanation was incorrect.
Myra: I always think of black as a death color.
S/T: No, White is your “health color”. Do not be deceived. What you perceive as black, probably is not, but is some deep shade of red beyond your visual powers of perception. You are constantly affected by color. It extends as far beyond mood or emotional response. Indeed, it can be physically demonstrated that color will drain your physical strength away, or it will restore it in such a way as to make a muscle immovable. If we are given time, there will be a lesson in color as well as in numbers. This session tonight is by way of fill-in because we had planned to discuss your experiences of the staircase.
Myra: When we speak to you, Silverthistle, do you respond to us like I’m Myra and that is Larry, or do you think of us as just an entity?
S/T: To me you are energy fields. Your name is in tune with that energy field. You are scintillating spheres of multi-dimensional life which the psychics in the field see as auric colors or emanations. To me they are much more solid and substantial than what can be perceived through the physical being.
Eileen: Do all the people with the same name give forth the same aura?
S/T: No there are subtleties of gradation naturally as when you say the color green. That color can go towards the blues or toward the yellows, but it is still green. I think in view of the conversation this evening, and the material we have discussed, you have been given plenty to think about. Therefore I shall retire. God bless you until we meet again. Go with god. Tune in to that pure essence which makes your lives joyful. And now good night.
The session closed with singing of “Let There Be Peace on Earth.”
