Session #93 – March 7, 1987
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Betty Welty, Clista McPherson, Ida Nevala, Jean Chisholm, Jeneeka,
LaMar Bell, Owen and Maxine Cramer, Myra Perala, Peggy Muldoon,
Sidney Smither and Shira Subotnick
Preceding circle, LaMar presented an analysis of Environment and our relation to it,
followed by a review of the Wheel of Karma step “Knowledge” presented by Jeneeka.
Owen led the guided meditation from Circle #88.
Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. (Response, followed by singing our
names three times keyed to a pitch given by LaMar.) Joyous. Beautiful. (Laughter.) You
do me great honor. (You do us great honor.) Let us onward with our studies with
regard to this realm which you call “astral”, which interpenetrates your physical
realm, and, of course, that portion of our existence which is also physical. There is
much more there to be explained than can be touched upon in short conversations
to which we are limited. We have barely scratched the surface of the topic.
Consider, if you will a two-dimensional existence. Can you imagine such a
thing?
Owen: Flat on a plane, no thickness, only area. (Yes.)
Jean: Flat like the book “Flatland”. If a person were turned one way, they’d
seem very big, but turned another way they’d be paper thin. (Invisible.)
Shira: But does a flat surface have an appearance of depth? (In your
manifestation, yes. In the “astral realm”, no. Thus it is that our student could be
upon the grass as well as within the grass. (Referring to a meditation described by
Jenika in the study period.)
Sheariam: Thus it is that the “astral realm” interpenetrates the physical. It is
through this limitation that we come to you.
Your earlier question as to the temple existence, for that time during which
you were conducted on that tour, we brought the temple to you in a two-dimensional
manner. Thus you experienced it through your imagination. This is why your
imagination is such a valuable tool, for you are not merely constructing pictures in
your mind, you are actually creating a thing which exists, has being, has life. But
that life is lived in the two-dimensional world until you give it that actualization
which allows manifestation in your three-dimensional world.
Thus it is that in this so-called “astral realm” there are many levels of
activity, many levels of beingness, many areas of experience, many Quantifications,
many Qualities. It is as complex and diverse as your current focused reality which
you call physical. Consequently, there is as much diversity of negative and positive
experience in that realm as in your physical.
Those who become trapped are there by the Consciousness which refuses to
relinquish the addiction to the three-dimensional manifestation. That entrapment
lasts only so long as the addiction lasts. And, as given previously, those life forms
which still remain existent in that two-dimensional world, which can no longer find
proper vehicles in this three-dimensional world, are not endlessly so entrapped. In
time to come, there will, by evolution, be built those vehicles which shall be proper
for the encasement of those lives and the completion thereof.
As for your temple, it is not limited to the two-dimensional realm. It is,
indeed, indescribable for you except in those terms. It is only in that two-
dimensional realm that you can experience it, until you transition, until you evolve
into greater Volition, until you Quantify more greatly the Quality Human.
There are those Consciousnesses with evolved Volition who choose to remain
in that two-dimensional existence in order to be effective in this three-dimensional
realm you call Physical. As Consciousness and Volition change ratio, moving toward
equality, the Specialization of the higher levels of the Karmic wheel or Spiral enable
manifestation to be accomplished in greater dimensions. As we have said, it is one of
our aims to teach you to think in five dimensions. You currently have the capacity
but do not practice it. You are moving in that direction.
It is through this two-dimensional access that your guides, your healers, your
protectors are able to influence, heal, protect you in your physical aspects. You
communicate with them in that non-physical aspect through the finer realms of the
physical. We would, tonight, address one phase of this other existence which affects
all of you all of the time, for it has been created for that purpose.
As complexified life forms built subtle bodies and created this realm, so also
was created the necessity for such protection. Inasmuch as certain portions of your
physical life form have limited Volition, the Realm of Soul devised entities to protect
them. Those of the Mineral Realm are protected by Devas. This has been briefly
discussed previously.
The more vibrant forms of life such as plant life and animal life are protected
by what are called Nature Spirits. These come in many different forms. Some of you
have named them according to your perception of them: fairies, gnomes, nymphs,
salamanders. The names are virtually endless. These creatures can be perceived by
those sensitive to the two-dimensional existence, but they are about you at all times,
are sensitive to your thoughts, to your feelings, because they exist within your subtle
bodies. They do not manifest in the physical as a common occurrence, although that
third dimension can be added to their two-dimensional existence under certain
circumstances.
It is your misfortune that there are and have been in the past, those among
you, who, in order to prove the existence of such creatures, have entered into
hoaxes, some unwittingly, to be sure, but most, purposefully. One of our major
efforts is the education of people such as yourselves so that you become aware of the
existence of such creatures and begin to work with them in the creation of your
physical environment.
You also are effective in the creation of their environment by the way you
feel, and think, and desire. When you allow your vitality to diminish, you draw upon
the energy of these two-dimensional creatures. As you draw upon their energy, that
which they are entitled to protect is denied their services to that extent, and so you
harm your environment physically when you permit yourself to become diminished
in vitality whether through illness or fatigue.
This, again, is part of Self-Mastery: dominion over yourself and your
environment. As you establish such self-dominion and live in the physical fully,
vibrantly alive, so you assist all in your physical to co-exist with you fully alive,
vibrantly, joyously. The more you emit Joy, the more energy such creatures have to
do their job with. The more Joy that you build into your Desire and Emotional
Bodies, the more they have to draw upon to make the grass greener, the flowers
more vivid, the sky bluer, the waters cleaner. You create your environment in many,
many ways of which you are completely unaware. It is our hope that as you study
with us you become more aware, more powerfully effective. With that we will end
our dissertation and entertain questions.
Peggy: Sheariam, you had your last class on transitions, passing over. My mother
just made this transition, and I would like to know if she was met by any of her family?
Did she have any fears? (Yes, she had fears, and yes, she was met. The more that you
anguish about her condition, the longer she will retain those fears, for she is tied
closely to you. Give her joy. Wish her well. Release her completely.) I have. I’m not
sure that my sister has, because she lived with her. (You can only do for yourself.)
LaMar: Sheariam, there was a question just before we started this class. Some
apparently had gotten the impression that the person who passed over and who was not
apparently seeking their highest potential, would be stuck in the astral. I had not gotten
that impression. Could you get this satisfied before we have a big fight or something? (At
transition one finds what one expects to find. Your awareness simply moves out of
its third dimension, which provides a physical vehicle, into the two-dimensional
realm in which exist the Desire, Emotional and Vital Bodies. So long as there is
within those three subtle bodies that yearning need for another physical body, one is
inclined to remain in this two-dimensional realm you call “the astral”. If one makes
the transition with awareness that the “astral” is merely to be passed through to
greater things of higher aspiration, then one’s transition is made with ease. Fear and
grief and longing and addiction and emotional attachments to physical family can
keep you entrapped in that two-dimensional realm.)
Owen: Is this to imply, turning it around a little bit, that any who remain in the
“astral” are or have lesser ambition or lesser regard for achieving their greatest potential?
(Not necessarily, for you are multi-dimensional in the overall Self. Parts of you may
be going onward with great joy, and only the Desire, Emotional and Vital Bodies,
which are peculiar to this one incarnation may be entrapped.)
Jean: When you say “dimensional”, are you speaking of length and width, or is
it another dimension in the two-dimensional? (It is not length and width in the two-
dimensional, but it could be.) What else could it be? (It could be “duration”. It could
be “degree”.) Then, in the three-dimensional? (It is. You do not think of the physical
without height, width, and depth.)
LaMar: Going back to this other question that was asked, I think there is a
tendency by those of us living here, to, at least subconsciously way down deep
somewhere, keep dredging up what the church has taught about heaven and hell. This
business of being punished if we aren’t good, or if we aren’t this or that or something
else, that we are going to hell. (And that is to be found in that realm.)
Owen: I guess from what you have said this evening, the spectrum of negative
and positive experience is as great in that realm as in the physical realm. Now, how does
this compare with the same spectrum of experience in the Spirit-Physical? (Each grows
greater.) Would there be more positive then, a shift toward the positive in the spirit-
Physical? (Unfortunately, you live in this polarized existence which demands that
one be greater than the other. You cannot imagine an existence in which things can
be unequal without being greater or lesser.)
It seemed that you’d mentioned before that the playful entities that manipulate the
Ouija Board, that manipulate your hand in doing automatic writing, come through a
channel that is unguarded, and give any kind of message that they think somebody might
enjoy. It gave me the impression that there are a lot of rascals that are in the “astral
realm”. I think you have assured us tonight that there are teachers that come into the
“astral” specifically to make it easier to contact us in the physical, and they are very
definitely valid and positive teachers. (It is the only way they can reach you in this
focus. Now those very “rascals”, as you call them, which can cause such disruption
in this physical valence, in the two-dimensional realm can bring great
entertainment, as you might consider your “jester”.)
Myra: So they bring joy, huh? (So you see, it is difficult to describe to you
something that is neither greater nor lesser.)
Owen: Then it behooves us not to make any judgments just because something
originates in the “astral”. That has no implication on whether it is misleading or whether
it is valid. (Yes. As we have given, there are certain conditions of conduct which may
or may not be ethical or moral in terms of your condition or focus in the physical.)
Jean: As you say that, I get a picture of what we visualize as life in Japan as
compared with life in the United States. There are many things that are similar, but there
are differences. We are as unaware of the differences as long as we are only here, as we
are of the “astral” state. (That is true.)
Sidney: Are the thoughts that we think two-dimensional; (Sometimes. Certain
people, often. You tend to expect that two dimension is less than three dimension.
Again, error. Simply a different condition of existence.)
Myra: Would two-dimensional thinking be rather like instinctual thinking? (That
would be an admirable description.)
Jean: The thought came to me a few minutes ago when we were talking about
this. We say we have things in “trinity”. We think that’s good. The Father, Son and Holy
Ghost and other trinities. Do we have that because we are a three-dimensional world?
(Yes. But it also goes beyond into the existence of your universe.)
Myra: Could you add to that? What do you mean? (Your physical condition,
being three-dimensional, is not the only condition that is three-dimensional. You
would not understand the other dimensions which might be three in number.)
Jean: Then in our endeavor to become closer to the creator, do we have to learn
to experience the two-dimensional and the one-dimensional, or become the two-
dimensional and the one-dimensional while we’re still in the three-dimensional? (In your
effort to comprehend our teaching, you are moving into five-dimensional thinking.
You have already been in one, and you have created two, which is difficult to
explain, since you assume that one always precedes two.) Yes, and I was going on the
assumption again, better or worse, grades of goodness and setting goals and achieving so
that to become “one with God” would be better than to be…. (Five with God!) So that
makes new thinking again. (We will teach you to think in five dimensions.)
Sidney: Which five? (Which five would you like?) (Laughter.)
LaMar: You said for us to become “one with God”. Are we not already “one with
God”? (Of course.)
Myra: I noticed in transcription #92, you mentioned about the width, height, and
breadth being three dimensions, and density or degree being the fourth dimension, and
the “astral realm” as being the fifth dimension. (Part of it is.) As I understood you a
moment ago, you said that the “astral realm” really has two. (That portion in which
your subtle bodies exist moment by moment, that portion into which you can go in
dreams, in altered states of consciousness, that portion in which certain forms are
entrapped, are two-dimensional.) But the “astral realm” has many other aspects that we
can’t grasp (Correct. You are building them.) I feel that you are changing our concepts.
(You are changing yourselves. We challenge. We try to give you things to think
about. We try to change your perspective. Only you can change yourselves, for you
live under the Law of Dominance.)
Jean: You say that we cannot invoke for another. I was going to the playoffs on
the basketball, and I invoked very hard. When I paid attention and played the game and
invoked, things went well. When my attention diverted, things did not go well. This
happened at three games. I wondered if it had some influence, or if it was entirely my
imagination. (Your imagination influences. You have been programmed, all of you
programmed, to discount the power of imagination. Each and every spectator
creates the environment in which a game is performed. The attitudes and efforts of
the players contribute also to that environment. Your invocation could not have
been successful on behalf of another if that other was not participating in the
invocation, whether or not the specific sounds or words, but the Consciousness and
the volition.)
Jean:Oh. When there were free shots, I put up an imaginary shield, and the ball would
bounce off. (Laugher.) And I visualized the ball going in without touching the hoop, and
again and again it did it. If I didn’t pay attention, I didn’t keep track of those. It is hard to
believe that one person could... (But it was not only one person.) No. That’s true. It’s
overwhelming. Thank you. (It gives you some indication of how disruptive inattention
can be in a circle such as this, and why the consciousness of myself and my channel
are affected by cross currents of antipathetic thought.)
Myra: Because it’s really concrete and objective. (Have we not told you that
thought is physical, has form, has creative capacity?)
Owen: Sheariam, another question about the game. Are the source people or
guides of the players also likely to participate in the game? (Oh, absolutely! Certainly
so! In everything that you do, your source group is actively engaged, more so as you
invite them to be.)
Myra: As your Emotional and Desire Bodies get involved with what the game is,
then your source group is that much more actively involved, isn’t it? (Correct. Also the
Devas and the Nature Spirits which may be involved.)
RetaMae: Speaking of the source group, I have had some wonderful experiences
since our last meeting, calling upon them and saying “thank you” to them. It was just like
they were dancing around me, clapping their hands, joyful, just absolutely full of joy to
think that I had recognized them, I guess, as being there. (They are human, too.) This is
something that I experienced very definitely, the emotional feeling that was involved. It
was a two-way thing. It was like it just energized me twice as much. This happened many
times during the day, and as I would go to sleep at night and upon first awakening.
(Gratitude is a great motivator for your source group and all those concerned in the
actualization of your potential.) When we give a blessing at our meal and thanks for the
food, and this sort of thing, and I would say, “Thank you source group”. I was telling
LaMar, it was just like they were just dancing all over the house. It was quite an
experience.
Jean: It was such a beautiful day I was out weeding the garden, and these little
weeds that were so beautiful were there, and I was pulling them out. I was feeling sorry
for them and kind of apologizing to them, and yet, I was tempted and wanted to leave
them, but I knew that my flowers couldn’t have a chance to grow. A little cat was trying
to come in my house, too, a hungry little cat, and I didn’t want it. So I was getting rid of
things all day and feeling very sorry for them. Can you comment on that? (Did you make
a positive disposition, or did you merely reject?) Well, I said, “Bless you, you little
dear thing, but you’re in the wrong place.” (Did you invoke Ratziel to place that kitten
in the right place?) No I didn’t. What about the weeds? (Did you compost them?) Yes.
(Then you made a positive disposition.) That makes me feel better.
LaMar: I would like to ask if there was anything about this deal on environment
that I did tonight that you heard that was incorrect and should be corrected. (You did a
most excellent job considering your limited information. You will probably decide to
make your own changes as your education goes forward.) I was remembering this a
few minutes ago. One time when we were out with the trailer. It’s been a number of years
ago, and for some reason I’d forgotten it. We’d been having trouble with the car heating,
and they were predicting 110-degree weather. We invoked for clouds, and the cloud
cover came over, and the temperature stayed right down until after we arrived where we
were going. I’ve been reminded of that several times while I was working on this, about
us creating our environment, helping to create the kind of weather we want, etc.
Clista: There are people – if we mess too much with the environment – some of
us in the area are going to want sun, and some rain. How do these conflicts work out.
(One of the things that you fail to understand is that the environment you create is
for yourself. There are compromises by virtue of the mixed consciousnesses, and
consequently you could not invoke something that would benefit you that would
harm another. We have not taught you how to do that.)
Jean: My husband is finally willing to invoke, particularly since he has gone
skiing seven times and invoked, and there has been beautiful weather in spite of the
weather prediction. He hasn’t fallen down, and that is pretty unusual for an 80-year-old
man skiing down hill. (You see one of the things that you are anticipating is that
others will want something other than what you want, but if you are all in tune in
the universe, you will all want the right thing at the right time in the right place for
the right reason. Remember also, you create your environment by your response to
situations.)
Maxine: Can you tell us anything about extremely low frequency magnetic fields?
There was a study that showed that they could be linked to cancer.
Owen: The study had to do with the relation to power lines and also mentioned
electric blankets. (Remember that you create the physical and its organization. It
would not matter what kind of magnetic field, electrical field, or any other kind of
field, in which you placed your body, if you are in dominion.)
Myra:And if you are not in dominion? (If you accept mass consciousness, as
your lesson gave tonight, then you are subject to what you believe and what you
expect. Cancer is a direct response to an inner belief you cannot cope.)
Jean: I have a question related to what Maxine said, dealing with microwave
ovens. I think I know the answer from what you said. Is it OK to cook food in microwave
ovens? (You are constantly surrounded by microwaves. Why not use them to good
advantage?)
Myra: Because you can dominate whether they will be harmful or not. (Of
course. You are much more subject to damage by thought wave than by any
physical radiation.)
Betty: Thought waves of our own or of others? (Both.)
Maxine: If one gives a thought that is opposed to what someone else is thinking,
and then they are called “negative” because they made that statement, then how does one
take it? (You can take it as being a putdown. You can take it as constructive
criticism. Or you can reject it as being non-applicable.)
Jenika: During the past year that I’ve been involved with the temple teachings, my
old friends have dropped off one by one. I think they think that I’m being deluded. They
are not spiritually, well, some are, but for the most part, they are very rational people.
They are politically motivated. We used to protest together and march together and things
like that. Now I meditate instead. They think that I’ve really changed, and there is a lot of
put down. This does hurt me, because they were part of my environment for so long.
(Are you more in control of your own life now than then, or less?) Much, much more.
There is no comparison. I guess I would like to bring them with me. (You cannot.
Remember that Silverthistle’s “Eight Keys To Cosmic Consciousness” ends with the
Key of Singularity.)
Peggy: I’ve noticed that when you come into a higher consciousness, and they are
not in that realm, then you go up above them. That is, they don’t follow. I’ve had that
same experience.
LaMar: This is what I was referring to when I cut into what I was saying this
evening about that’s where we are here now, dividing ourselves from those – that thought
that you are talking about. (Remember that you can always bless them. You cannot
invoke for them, but you can bless them.)
Myra: I have a question that occurred to me earlier on the Mental Body. I
remember reading that earlier when you talked about the Wheel of Karma, you said that
the Mental Body and the Creative Body exist prior to the Wheel of Karma development,
before the Realm of self. Is that what it means? (Yes.) And then I wondered, what was
the connection between the Mental Body and the Twin Minds in the Divine Germ Cell.
(Without the Twin Minds of the Divine Germ Cell, there could be no Mental realm
in any condition anywhere in any way.) So the Creative Body, would that relate
directly to any part of the Divine Germ Cell? (To the Creative Mind.)
Jean: At the work shop a short time ago, I poured boiling water over my hand,
and Gloria held it, and it throbbed, and it was a real experience. My hand was badly
burned, and yet within the time span it was practically OK. The hand has felt somewhat
different inside ever since, and I thought about that whole experience. I wondered if it
was an initiation. There are some other changes that have taken place, too, and I
wondered if it was an initiation. (Not an initiation. One lesson on the Path of
Initiation. There was molecular change in the cellular structure of your flesh.)
Betty: We were talking about invocation, and as I was going through the book on
meditations, I noticed that sometimes the affirmations were repeated three times
afterwards, and sometimes they were not. When we invoke the power of the archangels,
and when we say the affirmations, is it more powerful, more effective, if we repeat the
affirmation three times? (Yes. Under your Law of Dominance, in your three-
dimensional existence, anything is more effective when performed in triplet. Thus it
is that you have been given the invocation in triplets. (Indistinct pronunciation.) We
must draw this session to a close.)
Peggy: Can I ask one question, Sheariam, before you close? Can you give me any
information on how to get hold of my guides? They seem to be gone off someplace.
(They have gone nowhere. You have lost the connection due to lack of concentration
and focus. (Difficulty in speaking.) We must draw this to a conclusion.
Let us have just a very short meditation. Settle your bodies. Relax you minds.
With the palms of your hands, generate some blue energy. Then place it in the
center of the circle. Now with your powers of visualization allow that energy to form
a large ball which encompasses all the bodies in this room. Take to yourselves the
healing that is there for you, the goodwill that is shared among you, the blessing and
love that the temple sends to you.
Because we are losing connection, quickly disperse the ball of energy
throughout the world. I bid you, beloveds, go in joy and peace.)
(Gloria’s voice had become increasingly shaky after Sheariam announced bringing the
session to a close.)
Closed with singing “Let there be joy on earth.”
