STUDY GROUP READING #13
January 1988

Opening Teaching
1. Would you give us a prognosis for 1988? What can you tell us about this upcoming year?

2. We are living in a world that appears very economically troubled right now. The world situation will obviously affect everyone in one way or another. What advice would you give us that would help each of us handle the situation in our own lives?

3. A lot of us are curious about Bible symbology. Would you discuss the meaning of the biblical story of the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, the apple, the snake and the fall from grace?

4. Many people are dissatisfied with religious organizations today and yet desire the experience of coming together to celebrate their spirituality. What directions do you see us taking to resolve this?

5. We have learned that we are all connected and one. Is there a process we can practice in order to experience and feel this more?

6. A very controversial area at this time is the manipulation of human genetics. Do we truly have the ability to genetically alter our human form and if so, would our souls choose to inhabit such altered forms?


7. Would you explain the Archaeological puzzle in Nasca, Peru where there are huge drawings of animals and other diagrams grooved into the earth, some of them so vast they can only be seen fully from the air. Who made these ancient markings? What do they mean and how were they done?

8. How can we optimize the experience of growing older, aging. Is there truly as much potential for joy, excitement, discovery and growth in the elder years as in the first half of life?

9. Would you speak about the prolongation of life through heroic measures, such as life support systems, etc.? Is this the soul's choice, or the personality hanging on? If a life is prolonged, but the quality subhuman as those in rest homes often experience, does the soul agree to that? If the soul really wanted the personality to die, would they just arrange a stroke or something?

10. What causes the jerking/sense of falling sensation that most of us have experienced at one time or another as we fall asleep at night?

11. Would you give us an attunement or affirmation that we can use this month to set the stage for 1988?

STUDY GROUP READING #14
February 1988


Opening Teaching
1. Some people say that the government of any country is just a mirror or reflection of the consciousness of the people of that country. Is this true, and if so, how does such a "mirroring" effect work in actual practice.

2. We seem to have a nation preoccupied with self-indulgence on the one hand and on the other hand a population of homeless who are becoming louder and louder, demanding attention. Is that situation going to force us as a nation back into some kind of balance?

3. The 1988 elections in the United States will mark a large change in our presidential leadership, since Ronald Reagan was in office for 8 years. Would you talk about these last eight years and what they represented to our evolution? What are we as a nation looking for spiritually in our next president or administration?

4. Would you talk about eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. They are a fairly new addiction or disease that seem to be on the rise. Is there a general pattern you could address here?

5. I know this is dealt with in your new book, The Earth Adventure, but we have a couple of questions we'd like to ask you about in this format. First, is our personality like a ball of twine that gets larger and larger with each new lifetime? And if so, why is the soul collecting these experiences, and what relationship does one life have to another?
6. Why do we have painful experiences carried over from past lifetimes? Why must we heal pain in this lifetime that we created in some past time?

7. How do past talents and abilities carry over to subsequent lifetimes and how can we draw upon them?

8. Would you talk about the adoption of children? Why do some souls choose to be born in one family and raised by another? Is it all planned out before birth?

9. Many people feel the full moon is an optimum time for meditation. Is there truly a difference, full moon meditation versus daily meditations? Are full moon time energies more direct in one's self?

10. In the tape "Creativity and Human Genius", you speak of Leonardo DaVinci as being a "disciple of creativity" and an "influx point" for a "group projection into one human personality". Also you stated Davinci "in a certain sense represented a turning point in human possibility" and "in the future there could be other areas which could be revealed of this particular human being". Could you speak further of Leonardo DaVinci at this time?

11. Would you please close with an attunement we can use during the coming month.

STUDY GROUP READING #15
March 1988

Opening Teaching
1. Is it true that evil forces or spirits are created by the collective thought forms or mind sets of large numbers of personalities in earth as opposed to actual realities created by the God Force? If this is correct and these two phenomena are really illusions created by humans, are we under their influence only if we hold a strong belief in their existence? Can you clarify these areas?

2. You have talked about UFO's and space beings as being an inner interpretation of the individual having the experience, and said that essentially there are no "physical" beings from other planets. What about those people who have vivid experiences with outer space beings and return with scars and intense memories of these experiences. There is much apparent documentation now, for example the book Communion and other such reports. Would you speak further about this phenomenon?

3. A couple of current event questions: Foreign countries are buying American businesses, real estate and other investments in the United States at an increasing rate, largely because of the declining dollar. It has made it more economical for Japan and Europe to produce products in the U.S. and slashed the cost of buying U.S. facilities. How do you see this impacting on our lives sociologically and economically? Is this a further indication in some way, of world unity?

4. There seems to be much uncovering of "hidden" secrets by the media, such as, Jim Bakker, Gary Hart and now Jimmy Swaggart's sexual activities, our government's involvement with selling weapons to Iran, people talking openly on Oprah Winfrey, etc. about almost everything--spiritually speaking, is there a push by the souls for honesty and openness? What is the cause and what will be the result of such investigative reporting?

5. Would you speak about "time"? Many spiritual teachings say that in reality there is no time. We mark time by calendars and clocks, and often it seems to go by faster than it used to. Is this merely a human perception or is there some kind of acceleration that happens? Is time only perceptible on earth? What can you tell us about time?

6. In the past 100 years we have experienced technological changes at greater speed and magnitude than in any other recorded time period. For example, we have gone from the telegraph to world wide satellite communication, the horse and buggy to walking on the moon. Is there a purpose for this rapid expansion? Will it continue at this rate?

7. Awake, dreaming and deep sleep are recognized as three different states of consciousness. Is it possible to achieve a fourth state of consciousness through meditation or deep attunement?

And would you then close with an attunement that we can use in the coming month?

STUDY GROUP READING #16
April 1988

This is an inspiring reading that focuses on the Easter season, rebirth and renewal.
Opening Teaching
1. This is the month when many people celebrate Easter, Passover and Spring. Would you speak about the significance of this particular season of the year?

2. We'd like to focus on Easter a little more specifically. Would you talk about the events in the life of Jesus that took place during that time that we celebrate as Easter and the significance of these events in our present day lives?
3. Some people believe that Jesus will physically return to earth. Others believe that he will return in another body, essentially the second coming of Christ. Is that true, or possible, or even likely?

4. Would you talk a little bit more about the Christ  Force, or that consciousness that we think of as the Christ Force and how it pertains to each of us in our daily lives?

5. Would you close with an attunement that we can use this month to help us perceive the force of love that lives in each of us as the  Christ Force or the God Force?

STUDY GROUP READING #17
May 1988

Opening Teaching
1. These first two questions somewhat relate to the opening you just completed. First, is conceit based in a lack of self love as sort of a defense mechanism? What is the difference between self love and self conceit?

2. You suggest that too much focus on the self, especially the negative aspects of the self can cause pain, and that focusing on others and being of service can bring joy. There are many people using inward techniques today such as meditation, yoga, hypnosis, prayer, etc. to find joy and inner peace. Is the key here to do both--alternate our focus inward and outward?

3. There is much talk about the predictions of Nostradamus, made 400 years ago. Even the Los Angeles Times has covered stories about his predictions because it is said that he predicted an earthquake of great destruction that would strike California in April or May, 1988. Would you please address this issue?

4. Do different areas of the earth have different personalities that play an important part in our choosing where we are born and where we choose to live during various phases of our life? If this is true, would you illustrate with an explanation of the character of some specific geographic locations?
5. When people talk about certain places in earth as being power spots or power points, what are they experiencing? Is it entirely a subjective experience or is there some kind of group experience that happens there?

6. One of the study group members, is a medical student. She has become confused regarding animal research and animal rights. Using animals for research for medical technique perfections seems unloving. She would like some guidance on why taking the life of an animal to better humans is hard for her. This sort of power over another's life scares her.

7. Ireland is a country where there has been fighting for many years. Would you speak about this conflict and why they've been unable to resolve it?

8. Follow-up: Am I correct in assuming that what you have been saying could be applied to the Middle East or any place where there is fighting going on?

9. Of all human relationships, the one between mother and child seems most endearing to many of us and stirs feelings of a special acceptance and love. Since this is the month we celebrate Mother's Day, could you speak of that special role our mother plays in our lives?

 10. Would you close with an affirmation or focus for us for the coming month?

STUDY GROUP READING #18
June 1988

Opening Teaching
1. We're interested in what causes some of our challenging patterns. For example, if a person observes that he or she feels distant from other people and has difficulty creating warmth and friendship, particularly in social situations, how can we tell which of the following factors is the cause of this:

      a. Karmic patterns--perhaps the person is learning what it feels like to be on the receiving end of the "cold shoulder" because they were not considerate towards others in a previous life, and now its time to learn their lesson.
      b. Painful memories--this same kind of coldness hurt the person very much at some time in the past and both the pain and the fear of more pain cause them to freeze up and not be able to change the condition no matter how hard they try.
      c. A lack of social skills--possibly due to never having had an adequate role model in this lifetime.

2. When one hears an audible speaking voice from within, what is happening? Who speaks, guides? --or a part of self (even if the voice is a different sex than self?)

3. At times people say that we have a "double" in another place that either looks like, talks like or dresses like us, and also has the same mannerisms. Is this true, and if so, what is the reasoning behind this?

4. At the present time this country is trying to deal with its drug problem by punishing those who use drugs. Some influential people have called for the legalization of drugs and of treating drug abuse more humanely, and hopefully more effectively, as a public health problem, similar to cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse. Would you please give us your perspective on this issue of drug legalization and whether or not you believe this legalization could become a reality in this country?

5. Subliminal tapes have gained popularity in the last few years. These are tapes designed to program one to create certain changes in their lives or personalities. They have a programming message that you cannot consciously hear recorded beneath the sound of waves or some other soothing sounds. It is said that they work because the conscious mind cannot analyze or criticize the positive affirmations one is trying to program. Is this method of programming oneself effective and are there any potential negative effects of these kinds of tapes?
    Follow-up: So when people report value from using these tapes, would the value come from your own self suggestion?

6. Menopause is such a major change for women. Obviously there is a purpose for it or we'd be having babies into our 90's. But it does cause not so pleasant changes physically--aging accelerates, there are wrinkles, weak bones, often hot flashes and other uncomfortable changes. Would you speak about menopause from the soul's point of view--why the women and not the men, and anything else that would be helpful to understand?

7. A personal question for Kenny from Santa Monica, CA. Kenny has been dating a woman for 2-1/2 years. They have now decided to end the relationship and go their own separate ways. Kenny definitely wants to end the relationship,--he realizes it can't work the way their personality patterns and interests interact. But he has nagging doubts that keep plaguing his mind, feeling that reconciliation might be possible, if only things were different--even though he knows things aren't different. He would like to release the relationship and get on with his life. How can he let go of something that has been so important to him? Can you help?

8. Fathers seem to have a different kind of influence on children than Mothers do. Since we celebrate Fathers' Day this month, would you speak of the special role that Fathers play in our lives?

9. Please close with an attunement that we can use during the coming month.

STUDY GROUP #19
July 1988


Opening Teaching
1. We have been taught that our personality is just like one dim ray of light from our soul and that our true selves are our souls, not our personalities. However, when we are in earth, we identify almost completely with our personalities, so when our suffering and confusion are intense, why can't our souls intensify the ray of light to help us in earth. It almost seems like a parent who turns a small child loose in a city and says I love you, but you are more or less on your own, because I won't be that close by. Is this a correct assumption that souls and personalities aren't that closely connected?

2. Many of us who care deeply for the earth and its complex interdependent web of life, are concerned with the continued destruction and pollution of the rivers, lakes and oceans, forests and lands, the air and the extinction of hundreds of species of plants and animals. Much of the destruction occurs from the thoughtless expansion of industrial development, fueled by a seemingly endless demand for goods and services by the consuming public. Fortunately there are hopeful changes, especially in the U.S., but often they seem small in comparison with industrial expansion.

Can you put this in perspective and provide us with inspiration and insight into the soul motivations of the industrial leaders and scientists/technologists to assist those of us who are seeking to protect and restore the beauty and magnificence of our earth?

3. Did we as souls create an earth with perfect natural balance that can be easily thrown off? How much abuse can earth take before it becomes uninhabitable by humans? Does it have its own self healing process within it?

4. We want to ask about the current drought that is affecting the west and Midwest of the United States. First of all, can this year's high temperatures and drought be attributed to the global warming or greenhouse effect linked to pollution? And then, what is an appropriate response by mankind at this time?


5. There is a great deal of spiritual knowledge becoming available to humans today, from you guides and many other sources. Is the purpose of this knowledge just to use if for this life or are we building a foundation of knowledge for something or some purpose more long standing?

6. A popular child-rearing concept at this time is to visually, audibly and physically stimulate babies from birth, the premise being that this increases brain functioning and body strength and produces children of greater intellectual and physical abilities or "super babies". This is done by using flash cards from birth and reading programs, music lessons, swimming and gymnastics by the time the child is 3 or 4 years old. Is it possible to increase our capacity to learn and excel through these methods, or is this primarily parents living their lives for and through their children?

7. Along this same line, it is presently believed that we use only a small portion of our mental capacity...at the most about 10%. Is this true and if so, why do we use so little? Are we meant to use more?

8. From this day forward, if one could diligently "catch" each negative/fearful thought-feeling and change it to a positive/loving thought-feeling, would it be possible for lack, limitation, or misfortune to enter one's life? Do our thoughts and feelings (as causative agents) determine our literal life experiences? Would errors of the past be indeed past?

9. Would you close with an attunement that will help us to feel or to attune to the intensified forces of God that you were speaking of in the opening?

August 1988


Opening Teaching
1. To begin, since we are in an important election year, would you give a spiritual overview of the two Presidential candidates, George Bush and Michael Dukakis?

2. Would you talk about the role that Jesse Jackson is playing?

3. Sociologists and Psychologists have been preoccupied for generations with the formulation of laws of human behavior. Does human behavior conform to laws similar to those that have been discovered in the natural sciences, such as the law of gravity?
4. In the past, you've discussed Jesus and the myths and truths surrounding him as a teacher. Will you do the same now with Buddha?

5. Have human beings always been born through sexual reproduction, or at some time in our early development were we capable of self procreation, or will we ever be capable of self procreation?

6. Could you tell us why, when we had all the forces of God to work with, we would create something as annoying as fleas?

7. Please give us an attunement that we can use for this month.

STUDY GROUP #21
September 1988


Opening Teaching
1. Since economic matters seem to create a lot of concern for everyone, we want to ask a few questions about this area.

The U.S. Government is currently in deep debt with its extremely large budget deficit. Would you please give us your insights as to why we as a nation have such a great debt, and how this large debt is likely to effect the unfoldment of this country? What is the best attitude for us as individuals to take toward this national debt problem?

2. There are a lot of metaphysical teachings that say that positive thinking and visualizing can bring us money, wealth, and prosperity. Does this happen because the positive thinking makes us feel better and therefore we are more creative and effective, or, do our thoughts and visualizations actually organize and effect matter in some way that brings about the prosperity that we desire? Would you describe the way that thoughts and matter interact when we are trying to manifest something physically?

3. There are different methods taught for manifesting, such as visualizing, affirmations, chanting, and so forth. Would you speak more about their effects?

So is it simply an individual choice which method one would use?

4. What is the best way to work with our thoughts and feelings when we are struggling with debt, or poverty, and we feel discouraged and helpless to bring any money into our lives?
5. In last months's reading you spoke of the United States as being a country where souls are particularly interested in individuality. However, at the current time, there seems to be a trend in this country toward restricting individual choice and replacing free choice with government control over individuals' lives. For example, the efforts to eliminate a woman's right to choose abortion, mandatory drug testing, mandatory seat belt laws, and so forth.

Would you please comment on how you see the continuing unfoldment of individuality and free choice in the United States, and what attitude is best for us to take toward efforts by some to limit our expression of our individuality?

6. In a previous Study Group reading you spoke of teaching, and you said ``We use the word teach to mean love, help, heal, guide, be of service, these areas.'' When teaching is put in these terms there is the feeling that it is done by example and inspiration instead of by simply imparting information or knowledge. Can you expand on the role of a teacher, and describe how teaching is best achieved?

7. Many of us are fascinated with reincarnation and would like to know more about it. Is there an average number of times that people alive today have reincarnated, or an average number of past lives that most people have had? Also, do we evolve toward a higher principle or ideal with the knowledge that we gain in each lifetime. For example, if a person has had many earth lifetimes, is it likely that they would not be a ruthless criminal or an abuser of others in this lifetime?

8. Would you close with an attunement that we can use for the month of September?
#21 Sep 1988 MP3

STUDY GROUP #22
October 1988


Opening Teaching
1. In the June Study Group reading you spoke about how our soul does not interfere with our earth personality, even when we are experiencing intense suffering and confusion. Would you speak about the times when we do feel that we are guided by our soul to make a certain decision or take a certain action? How is our ``sixth sense'' involved with this? Where does our intuition arise from and how is it related to our soul guiding us?

2. Many people in our society, particularly these days, feel impotent in the face of their environment, the economy, crime, the government, even personal relationships. They feel blown by the winds of fate. When we are feeling this way, what can we do to regain the sense that, as you say, "the forces that created physical reality live in us", so that we can feel that we do determine our own future?

3. Can we process information that we hear while sleeping? For example, if we play an inner action tape or other personal programming type tape and fall asleep, is the information heard and processed or acted upon by some part of us, perhaps the subconscious mind?

4. What about people who are in a coma? Are they aware of their surroundings in any way? Is there value in reading to them, talking to them, playing music, etc? Or are they completely gone?

5. Recently there has been discussion among certain historians and sociologists of the role that naturally occurring psychoactive compounds might have played in the evolution of human consciousness. There is much speculation that ceremonies in which certain plant and fungus preparations when ingested were key to the development of religions and civilizations in Greece, India, Central and South America, and perhaps many other areas. Would you please comment on this?

6. Would you close with an affirmation that we can use this month?
#22 Oct 1988 MP3

STUDY GROUP #23
November 1988


Opening Teaching
1. Some have said that the goal of life is Enlightenment and that Enlightenment means non-attachment. What is meant by Enlightenment and how can we best achieve it in our lifetime? Also, is an attitude of non-attachment to material things, people, etc. a beneficial one to have?

2. In a recent study group answer, you stated that there is a wave of sensitivity sweeping this country. Would you please speak further about this growing sensitivity? In particular, address whether this sensitivity toward others will extend to a sensitivity toward different cultural groups in this country who may have different lifestyles than the mainstream majority.

3. Is this because of political leadership or mostly a grass roots effort?

4. Would you talk about the pyramids at Giza. How were they constructed so accurately? What were the original purposes of the various rooms and chambers in the large pyramid? Are there secret hidden chambers we are not aware of? Why are the vibrations of the great pyramid so powerful?

5. There are many diseases at this time that involve the immune system. What is causing the proliferation of these diseases? Understanding that there are individual differences, is the stress of modern society partially responsible for this?

6. When we are sleeping, do we commune with other human beings who are currently alive in earth? For example, if we have a dream that seems very real, perhaps a dream in which a lesson is learned, an experience shared, and it involves another person, is some portion of that person actually there participating? Are they aware on some level of their involvement? Or does the dream arise from the dreamer's consciousness only?

7. ``Everyone we meet is a mirror to ourselves,'' is a popular concept. Would you discuss this idea and how we can apply it practically to our personal lives. If we don't like something about someone does that necessarily mean that negativity lives in us?

8. Please close with an attunement to use during the month of November.
#23 Nov 1988 MP3

STUDY GROUP #24
December 1988


Opening Teaching
1. In an earlier tape you stated, "The desire to blame will always confuse you; the desire to understand will free you." It is easy to see how this applies to all levels of our lives, from how we feel about ourselves, react with those around us and interact as nations. Why are we generally so quick to blame circumstances, other people, even ourselves, for our situations, and many times too resistant to understanding them? Can you give some guidelines for breaking the pattern of blaming and replacing it with the desire to understand?

2. Is having a conscience a learned trait? Some people seem completely cold blooded and heartless and others would feel guilty if they hurt a fly. It sometimes, even seems to be a group experience such as the Mafia or street gangs of youths who live by social standards and action, that the rest of society considers illegal and immoral.

3. Do souls experience emotions as we know them? Do they get bored or have specific desires or likes and dislikes for other souls? Can you describe the soul's experience of feeling?

Now we would like to ask a couple of questions about Christmas:

4. Would you talk about the past lifetimes that Jesus, Mary and Joseph shared that prepared them for the one that we are familiar with and celebrate in December?

5. Were the angels that were reported to have heralded Jesus' birth actually spiritual guides that appeared to Mary and others? Are all angels spiritual guides as we understand them, or are they different and, if so, how?

6. What would be the core of the teachings of Jesus and their application to modern life?

7. And in your closing, would you give us an attunement for us to use in the coming month?
