Session #95 – April 4, 1987
Silverthistle Retreat at Alton L. Collins Retreat Center
Present: Twenty-six participants including nine regular circle members.
The evening session began with Gloria guiding us in meditation using the Key:
Incorruptibility, Foundation of Truth from Eight Keys to Cosmic Consciousness.
Gloria: As we go through this evening’s conversation with Silverthistle, I’d like
you to keep uppermost in your consciousness what you’re doing here, that you are
seeking the highest and best in yourself in order that you can satisfy the “want” for
Radiant Life. If the Radiant Life was “need”, that’s what you would have in this world of
materialism. The Radiant Life is something that you have to “want” and dedicate
yourselves to achieving, that you go after it with all these states of Consciousness that
Silverthistle is trying to convey to you. Keep that in mind as you talk with him.
(Session began with a few moments of silence without the usual singing. This was
Saturday evening and Silverthistle had also come through the previous evening and
during the day. His remarks on those appearances are included in the transcript of the
retreat proceedings to be available later.)
ST: Good evening and joy to you. You are a most enjoyable collection of
beings. It has been much to my gratification to oversee your work this day. And it is
my pleasure now to serve you in whatever way I can.
Karen: I’m making a career change, and I’d like some suggestions as to what kind
of work I should go into, and could you please be specific. (It is timely that you make
this change. It is not for me to tell you what you should do, or even what I might
think is best for you to do. As you have brought yourself into this Law of
Dominance, into this realm of materialism, it is your responsibility and your
obligation to make the choices that direct the flow of this life force which you
manifest. My advice to you is to find that which makes you joyful, and make that a
career.
To all of you I say, work must make you joyful or it is not your work. Do you
understand that?) Yes, I do. Thank you. (Bless you.)
Jason: I have had a difficult time choosing a path and overcoming some of the
challenges I have had to deal with. I am just wondering how I can bring that self-healing
of myself and to realize or at least come close to what my purpose would be here. (First
of all, you are still in the process of cleaning up some murky attitudes, some thought
habits which you have brought into this span from other spans. This process of
cleansing is often what causes the first half-cycle of an earthly span to be difficult.
As one accomplishes the second half of the first cycle, you arrive at that point at
which the self-cleansing has processed to the degree that it permits creativity. This
most usually occurs at that point where the first cycle ends and the second cycle
begins. Inasmuch as racial consciousness, species consciousness is in a cycle of
rapidity, that normal or usual cycle is being foreshortened for individuals in your
generation. So, you are more eager to achieve that state of cleanliness in order to
move forward into creativity. My advice to you is to not rush your fences. Give
yourself time to finish the cleansing process. Then your creativity will burgeon
forth, shall flower for you, in ways beyond your now imagining.) Thank you.
Jenika: I have a health question I would like to ask you for myself. My leg has had
phlebitis for twenty years, and I haven’t been successful in ridding myself of this,
although Jean Chisholm and I did some work at dinner time over this. We wondered if
you were present.
Another thing that I have is hives which I have had for almost as long. I also have
a burning in my stomach that I have had since Christmas. I know that these things start in
the mind first and then they go in the body. It’s not something that happened first in my
body. I’m particularly concerned because if this is my first incarnation, I have created
these things in this short lifetime already, and I want to get a handle on them. Can you
give me some assistance in clearing up these problems?
ST: Your evaluation of the circumstance is not completely correct. While
the physical manifestation has been designed in this short span, and although this is
a first incarnation of this cycle, you, as well, brought in certain things which had to
be cleansed. They did, indeed, come from the multiplicity of antecedents of which
you are aware. But the cleansing process is part of this earth span, and so you
brought that endowment. It is a heritage and an obligation to the species to cleanse.
Your life circumstances did not permit the successful completion of this process. So
the leg problem is evidence of those little clots here and there not yet cleansed. Your
stomach is now reflecting the fact that if that cleansing is not completed, you cannot
continue to digest life. This does not mean that you will not complete this span, but
it means that your process of assimilation is slowed.
Now to do the completion of this cleansing is to cleanse the Emotional Body.
It is not in the desire Body that this incomplete cleansing still remains, but in the
Emotional Body. These are attitudes, habit patterns, which are carried forward, and
are meant to be cleansed by the character you now are developing. Examine those
emotions which you think you cannot control, which at times literally take
possession of your life and dictate how you behave. This is your clue as to where the
unclean spots are in the Emotional Body. When you find those spots, then a
practitioner such as your dear one can be of assistance to you. But you must first
find those places yourself.
The hives are evidence again of toxicity in the Emotional Body and
resentment that they are there, inasmuch as your awareness is now widening, is
making progress in coping, in actualizing the potential, in concretizing the
Intention, the goals. You are in a better position to accomplish the cleansing now
than you were at the time in which it would have been a timely thing. (Thank you,
Silverthistle.)
Sue: I am in the middle of great changes in my life. I’m in the process of
quitting my job, selling my house and moving, and feeling like I’m leaving behind a life
which didn’t allow me to seek my higher self and to really be myself. But it is causing me
great stress. It’s causing me stomach pains and back pains and panic feeling. I’m just
wondering if this process I’m jumping into, this process of letting go of the old, is leading
me towards my highest potential, or is it creating confusion because I’m trying to do too
much at one time?
ST: The process has taught you. You have put this off. You have delayed
your own maturity. Now, in order to complete satisfactorily that destiny path which
you have chosen, you must now speed up the process, which, of course, is going to
cause you great stress and pain. This is a cause put in motion by the choices you
made to delay the process. If you will relax and allow yourself to flow with events
instead of trying to push them around to meet your time table, you will find greater
ease and success. But the process must be accomplished.
Sidney: I assume that the Radiant Life involves living principally in the two
Cosmic Laws of I Am and I Will. Give us your definition of the Radiant Life. (The
Radiant Life is the incorporation of all eight levels of consciousness, which I have
given you, into this earthly life. Living in the I Am and the I Will can only take place
in realms of much rarer atmosphere than earth.) Thank you.
John: Today I got in touch with certain egotisms and tendencies that I have that
keep me stuck from expressing my true nature. How can I best bring my healing abilities
to the fore to bring about my life purpose?
ST: You, too, have delayed your process, for many reasons. At the time
that you choose to undergo this process of change, you will be required to abandon a
number of attitudes which you are not yet ready to relinquish. In order to relinquish
these attitudes, you must establish others to displace them: attitudes of Self-
appreciation, attitudes of Self-encouragement, attitudes of Self-enablement. You
have great power that you do not call upon, because that power and the use of it
entails risks you do not yet feel ready to take. You must be processed into them.
I do not recommend that you throw your native cautions to the winds and
jump into something carelessly. Take care. Nourish your talents. Invest them in
others that the appreciation generates within you Self-appreciation. You must be
your own best and dearest lover. When you can love that compassionately, you will
be ready to give yourself with freedom. Do you understand? (Yes, I do. Thank you.)
Mike: I have a couple of chronic long-standing health problems, shoulder and
neck pain that sometimes gets worse and sometimes gets better. Also, I have a kind of
colon soreness on the right side that I’ve had for a long time. I’m sure it’s connected with
the Emotional Body, but I’d like to know specifically what I need to work on to treat
these problems.
ST: Again, a problem with attitude. You brought into this span a great
grief because of responsibility failed. So, in this span, you are attempting to make
amends by shouldering more responsibility than you are emotionally ready to
manage. You have great courage, but you are not gentle with yourself. You force
yourself too much. You anguish too much over other peoples’ choices for
themselves. It may well be true that in your vision another is making a mistake. You
must allow that other to make that mistake. You cannot assuage your guilt or
alleviate that sense of need to be responsible by shouldering the responsibilities of
any other person. You must restrain yourself to those responsibilities directly
applicable to your own growth and welfare. This is not to say that you should not be
compassionate, for that is a state of Cosmic Consciousness. But your compassion
should not lead you to do for another what that other must do for himself. When
your shoulder hurts or when your colon gives you pain, these are physical evidences
that you are in the wrong territory, that you are attempting to shoulder
responsibility which is not yours to shoulder. Does that aid you in understanding?
(Thank you very much. Yes, it does.)
Vivian: What can I do for fuller and greater visualization in my meditations?
ST: This is addressed to all of you. Some of you are capable of clear-
sightedness. Visualization comes easily to you. Others of you do not, because you did
not build that capability into the brain of this physical body. In place of the capacity
for visualization, you may have built into this body the capacity which we shall call
“sensitivity of feeling”. While one or more of you may be able to visualize very
clearly the existence of some structure, others of you can only sense that structure’s
existence by feeling it.
There are as many capacities for this internalization as you have sensory
systems. Not everyone sees color in the same manner. Not everyone smells the same
odor from the same rose. Not everyone has the palate for garlic. Because one of you
is more successful at one sensory internalization, do not then consider the rest to be
less than capable.
To answer you specifically, you have great sensitivity. You have great
compassion. You can know the heart of another in a way that someone who can
clearly visualize could never know. It is that sensitivity to the heart of another that is
your talent. When you meditate, be not dismayed that you do not visualize. What do
you feel? What do you sense with your heart? That is what is important for you.
(Thank you, Silverthistle.)
Barbara: I’ve been having trouble opening my mouth through a series of operations.
Will the doctors I’m seeing now be able to restore the function of my jaw? Or is this a
karmic problem I have to deal with in other ways?
ST: It is indeed a karmic problem, if you will, in that it is a consequence of
previous choice when you could have spoken as a witness and you did not. Now your
capacity to witness, to express your individuality is slowly diminishing. If you will
find ways and means of expressing your individuality cogently so that others honor
and respect your individuality, you will find that jaw beginning to recede back to its
normal position. As that jaw recedes, your capacity to speak and to chew will be
restored. But the choice is yours. If you wish that restoration, you must exercise
your creativity and find expression for your individuality that earns you that respect
and honor. Do you understand?
Karrolle: I am in a relationship. I am married and have been trying to get out of it,
and for the last year and a half it has not ended. I’m wondering why are we together?
What is my lesson? Last night when we learned about compassion, mercy and tolerance, I
realized that I have not been tolerant. I have not been compassionate. Do I need to learn
this with him before I move on? Is this one of the lessons that I am here to learn? (You
have made your own answer.)
Maxine: If we ask our dream self or personal guides a question, do we get an
unbiased answer? (The only way that I can answer that is that it depends upon the
question asked and the motive behind the question, the state of consciousness at the
time of the question.) That’s a big undertaking for the person that asks the question.
(Life on this planet is a great undertaking.)
Owen: May I follow up on that question? (Indeed.) Is this to say that our guides,
I presume it is also guides that are involved in dreams, have a bias in that they may try to
please us rather than being completely objective? (It is not a bias of deception. It is a
bias of what you can accept and understand.) So, more than anything, it may be an
incomplete answer. (Yes.)
Duncan: My question deals with memories and thoughts from our present lifetimes
that come into our minds, that we feel are unhappy or unpleasant or unwanted memories.
My question is: “Could you give suggestions on how to heal and put away those as they
come into the mind so that they don’t come back up, so that we don’t have to deal with
them again?”
ST: They will continue to return until you process them. They are
incomplete. You have not finished that growth. If you repress, you deny yourself
that growth. Allow yourself to process them. If it is an unhappy thought, why? Ask
yourself how you could have changed the circumstances from which that unhappy
thought is derived. Where are you manifesting that unhappiness? As you process
that, you re-align your body, you re-establish the attitude.
Very often, difficulties in relationships result from prior relationships which
have not been completed, and unhappy thoughts remain. A relationship that is
successfully and happily completed enables you to then relate to others from that
stance of successful completion. That which makes you unhappy must be brought
forward into consciousness and processed so that it does not continue to poison
future relationships. Attitudes which diminish your capacity for accomplishment,
for successful endeavor, need also this processing. Do you understand “processing”?
(Could you explain?) Everything which is, begins as something and grows into
something else. This is “Process”. The ancient one who transitions is a “processed’
infant. Negative thoughts, unhappy memories, impaired attitudes, are infancies
which need to be matured. They must be processed through the levels of States of
Consciousness. I have given you these States. (Ed. “Eight Keys”) They are
progressive. Begin with Aspiration and end with Singularity. That is success. If you
abandon an effort or a relationship before it has been processed through all eight
steps, it will stay with you as an incompletion until you do so in this life or some
other.
Karl: For the last five years I have developed a numbness in my feet, which six
doctors could find no reason for, and they have no way of treating it. Where do I go from
here?
ST: You have a misalignment in your subtle bodies at that point of the
mid-back. If you will refer to the diagrams of the life size figures provided by the
channel, you will see that point at which two meridians cross at the center back. If
you will have a trained practitioner work upon the subtle bodies at that point in
your back and unblock the blockages, the numbness in the feet will go away. It is
merely that physical manifestation of lack of circulation of the force in the subtle
bodies. (Thank you.)
Myra: I noticed for the first two people you spoke about the” first cycle”. I
wondered if that had to do with the cycle of the Wheel of Karma or their life cycle. What
do you mean by the “first cycle”? (Life in the human species on planet earth has
varying cycles. The Cycle of Maturity is that of fifteen and thirty and multiples
thereof.) So the second cycle would start with age thirty, thirty to forty-five.
I guess my other thought was that I came away this afternoon from our session,
maybe it’s because I had fun drawing a picture, but I didn’t come away with a clear
impression of what you meant by “motive” in that sixth State of Consciousness, that
word? (If you are adequately motivated, you will not sacrifice your Desire. You will
be unyieldingly focused. Nothing will deter your sight from its goal. If you are not so
motivated, you may stop short of the completion you wish.)
So would you say that “unyielding desire” and “motive” are synonyms?
(Associations. Unyielding Desire is a State of Consciousness. A State of
Consciousness needs no consideration. It is that basis of operation. Motivation needs
evaluation, often needs renewal, and it must be based in a State of Consciousness,
primarily that State of Consciousness of Unyielding Desire, if you are to see a thing
to its completion.)
That state is dependent upon achieving the previous States of Consciousness? Is
that right? (Yes.) So if you don’t feel that you have the motivation to achieve what you
want, you have to work on those previous States of Consciousness? (Yes.) Thank you.
Betty: I had thought that I understood that we can work in all those States of
Consciousness, or do work in all of them without completing one totally. Is it possible for
one in our state to complete one totally before we move then to work on another? Is that
incorrect? (You do work in all of those States of Consciousness to some degree or
other. The question was one of motivation and how it related to that particular State
of Consciousness. If you are not successful in completing an endeavor which you
begin, you are then alerted to the fact that you are not in that State of Consciousness
of Unyielding Desire, and must look to those other levels or States of Consciousness
which preceded, to see where you have not accomplished a completion. That does
not say that you have perfected them.)
Karlene: I would like to know what I can change in order to have a more perfect
Radiant Life. (Would you like to go for “yourself”? What can you change about
yourself??) Do you have any suggestions? (How about loving yourself? How about
establishing firmly within yourself, within your heart, within your mind, that
conviction that, indeed, there are parts of you that are complete, that are perfected.
One need not change everything all at once. What appears to be perfect at one time,
as the processing goes forward, one discovers that perfection is not as perfect as first
observed, but nonetheless deserving of the highest honor and regard. Because there
may be those things in one’s life that one deems less than desirable or less than
perfect, is no reason not to honor them. For at a time they were perfect for that
time. Accept what you are, and then reach for more. Aspire to your own estate.)
Thank you.
Jean: My life reading said that I was ending the life cycle and had loose ends to tie up.
What work do I still have to complete, and how can I accomplish more in my interest in
self-healings and helping others to heal themselves.
Silverthistle: You must prepare yourself to relinquish your attachment to this
Earth Realm for you are taking with you those healing skills which you have
brought to a certain state of perfection and even now are reaching for more. You
will be taking these into the Spirit-Physical where you will be working in the healing
field. But you cannot be effective in that condition if you do not willingly relinquish
your attachment to this material physicality. (Thank you.)
Priscilla: My mother died last month, and during the terminal illness, I developed
asthma, and it was more pronounced by the time of her death. What haven’t I dealt with,
or what haven’t I handled? Can you tell me? (You identified so strongly with that
entity which manifested as your mother that in the passing of your mother you had
anxieties that you were losing that connection with the entity. The personality of
your mother has gone on. Your connection with the entity which manifested her is
still a connection. Anxiety brought the asthma.)
How do I release that? (Know the connection still exists. Ask the entity to
make it firm in your knowledge that the connection has not been severed just
because the personality of the mother has gone.) Thank you.
Danette: I would like clarification on a statement in my life reading. It says that my
karmic function of being a routing point for group effort while remaining quite
defenseless myself. (Because of the sensitivities that you have brought with you that
are inherent in you, you manifest a magnetic field which draws to you aspirants,
those who have not even dreamed of having a higher estate available than mere
humanity in the earth plane. As that magnetic field draws these people to you, you
must remain open and sensitive to their needs while not being invaded or used by
their neediness. Do you understand?) Yes, thank you. (You have much work to do,
and you will do it.)
Sidney: In the course program, “Motive” is related to “Incorruptibility”. But in
your answer to Myra ten minutes ago you related it to “Unyielding Desire”. Why?
(Without unyielding desire well established, one cannot be incorruptible.) Thank
you.
Mike: I have another health condition I wanted to ask you about. This is a
weakness in my thumb and down the inside of the arm, past the elbow, particularly strong
near the elbow, and also the same place in my legs going from my ankle. I was
wondering what emotions bring that about. Is it holding on to the past? (Fear of risk.
You require a great deal of security. You are extremely threatened when you have
any sense that the future cannot be relied upon to deliver that which you designed
for it. Your very nature denies that you leap before you look. And yet there is that
within the nature brought with you that must learn to take risks, to take a chance on
that which is not yet proven. Do you understand?) Then it’s not from lack of being
grounded? (You are, in effect, too grounded. Loosen up.)
Maxine: I have a question on the same thing. Does this fear of risk show up in
everyone’s elbows and knees? (No.)
Myra: I wanted to ask a question that went along with Vivian’s about meditation.
Could you please comment upon reverie as a form of meditation?
ST: Reverie is less a form of meditation than a process of remembering.
Reverie is that state of awareness which allows answers to come from the Mental
Body into the Emotional Body that are normally blocked out in daily waking
consciousness. Usually these kinds of information, memories, come to you in
dreams, because that is the only available inlet. If one learns to achieve that state of
reverie that is just on the threshold of sleep, but is not sleep, many answers can be
found that are otherwise not available, or not readily available. But it is not a state
of meditation, because the mind is not revolving a concept. It is seeking a linear
access to specific information. Does that help you?
Myra: Yes. I guess I had thought of reverie as sort of fantasizing or day dreaming
more than reliving or looking into my past for a thought. (Not necessarily your past.)
What do you mean? (It could be racial past. It could be cellular past. It could be my
past.) Thank you.
Shira: I wish to live in the Radiant Life. It is a goal I have set for myself. I’m
truly earnest in this goal. However, I am not completely clear as to what my purpose is in
this realm, and perhaps my direction is not straight in ability to know my purpose. Can
you tell me what you see my purpose to be in this realm so that I may fulfill my highest
potential with greater clarity?
ST: You are one of the, in your colloquialisms, “lucky ones” because the
thrust of this lifetime for you is to exude or radiate that magnetic field which
enables others to find their center of joy. As people gather round you and are
inspired by your vitality, your joyousness, your optimism, your capacity to entertain
and take people out of themselves, they find that center of joy that is theirs to return
to when they are not in your presence. Your artistry is not an accidental
endowment. You have been an artist many times. You bring all of that capacity for
joy, for inspiring joy, for encouraging people to find joy in this lifetime. It is through
that very artistry and sense of joyfulness that you will live the Radiant Life. (Thank
you very much. I couldn’t ask for more blessings.)
Jean: I find it hard to relinquish, and in our time, how soon do I have to learn
that lesson? (I cannot answer that. That is for you and your source group and your
higher self to decide.) Can I extend it? (You are not willing to relinquish, are you?)
(Great laughter.)
ST: Dear hearts, it has been a long day for all of you and for my channel.
We beg your indulgence and ask that we depart in love, in blessing, and in joy. I am
here with you even though you may not hear my voice. If you listen, you will hear
my thoughts. Go to your rest in peacefulness and blessedness.
Many expressions of appreciation. Circle closed with “Let there be peace on earth.”
