STUDY GROUP READING #25
January 1989

Opening Teaching
1. Would you discuss the recent earthquake in Armenia. How can we take a metaphysical viewpoint of such a tragedy without becoming "fatalistic" or blaming "karma".

2. There is often misunderstanding about the concept that we create our own reality. For example, many adults who were abused as children resent the idea that they "chose" to be born into families where they were abused. Others can't imagine how they could have "chosen" to be the victim of a violent crime or fatal illness. Would you provide some clarity about the "we create our own reality" point of view?

3. In the book The Earth Adventure, and you've mentioned it today as well, you said that one of our purposes as human beings was to transform and heal the negative energy created in the past. A lot of times this feels like a never-ending quest, for as soon as we heal one batch of negativity, a new batch comes in to take its place. And sometimes it even feels like the process of healing negative feelings within ourselves creates new pain in others, thus continuing the cycle of negativity. Will there ever be a time in Earth where we, as human beings, can experience the end of negative experiences? And how can we maintain our courage to carry on until that time?

4. On television recently, a well-known mythologist was asked what happens when a society no longer embraces a powerful mythology, and he replied, "Read the New York Times", referring to the widespread problems in the world. Later he said that in a society changing as fast as ours, it is very difficult to frame a deeply nourishing collective mythos, and therefore, the necessary rituals are becoming an individual affair. Though it is clear that each of us must find our own way, do you see us moving collectively toward a mythology appropriate to our entire "global village"? If so, what might be its most powerful characteristics?

5. There have been articles in various publications, referring to those who embrace the ideas of the New Age as narcissistic and self indulgent. What would you say to those who think about the New Age in that way?

6. Please close with an attunement we can use this coming month.

STUDY GROUP READING #26
February 1989

Opening Teaching
​
1. Would you please give us your perspective on how this country is handling its war on drugs, both in terms of education and law enforcement, and how the growing sensitivity to others in this country will affect this war on drugs?

2. There are religions that base their practices on the use of Kundalini or sexual energy. Is sexual energy something that can be harnessed and used for creativity? Is it actually a form of divine energy that can be used for enlightenment?

3. Would you talk about the power of prayer? What is the effect of holding someone in our prayers? Is there a greater effect if many people are praying for you?

4. If there is a group praying for someone in the manner that you spoke of earlier, that they remember that God lives in them, does that have an effect? Does that touch their heart in some way, even if they're at a distance? I'm asking this because we've considered starting a prayer list if there is a valuable effect in that kind of a situation.

5. Is there a simple way we could state the prayer?

6. The issue of capital punishment has been in the news lately because of the execution of Ted Bundy. What do you have to say about capital punishment?

7. One of our study group members told me about an Indian guru who announced that he would soon be leaving the body. He traveled around making his good-bye’s and within a few months, died of a heart attack. This seems like such an ideal way to go, to be able to say goodbye like that. If we made it important in our lives and prayed for that knowledge, could we know and plan for our own death?

8. If a person is a sworn atheist and believes that they will end when they die, what will their experience be after death?

9. Would you please close with an attunement for the month of February?

STUDY GROUP READING #27
March 1989

Opening Teaching
1. Some spiritual literature describes enlightenment, or self-realization, as the human consciousness becoming aware of its own soul, or divinity, through refinement of the human nervous system, so that it can reflect God in the consciousness. If this is true, how can we begin to strengthen this channel between individual conscious awareness and divine awareness?

2. Our human understanding of God has been a difficult issue throughout history. Different religions have clashed violently over their individual ideas of what God is. Atheists have militantly denied the very existence of God. If we were all created by God, and we are all connected by God, why have we humans struggled so fiercely over our understanding of God?

3. Many people in our society do seem to be turning away from organized religion. Why is this happening, and would you speak a little bit more about the value of organized religion in terms of helping us find God?
4. The subject of abortion has been in the news lately, the pro-life group versus the pro-choice faction. What do you have to say about abortion from a spiritual point of view?

5. Since we're on the subject of babies, we'd like to look at surrogate motherhood, which has also been a volatile issue, specifically where a woman is impregnated by a man's sperm and she carries the baby for a couple. From a higher viewpoint, would that be considered selling a baby, and is that wrong or damaging to the child?

6. We are interested in the spiritual connection between Japan and the United States. After defeating that country in World War II, we turned around and helped them rebuild their nation. Now we are closely tied to them economically. What can you tell us about our two nations?

7. Would you please close with an attunement for the month of March?

STUDY GROUP READING #28
April 1989

1. In last month's tape you stated that the purpose of life was not to find God, but to experience earth life for many purposes of the soul. Would you please explain further what some of these soul purposes are?

2. Some scientists say there may be billions of galaxies in our universe, with each galaxy having billions of its own stars. If the only inhabited place in this physical universe is the Earth, life is no more than one drop in a cosmic ocean. Why did the souls create an entire ocean if only one drop was to be used? It seems like a waste of creative energy on the part of the souls.

3. In a past tape you mentioned that the psychic part of ourselves was a part of the human personality. Is the psychic self elusive to the conscious mind by design? If not, are there specific techniques we can use to bring psychic intuitions into everyday conscious thinking?
4. Ceremonies and rituals have been a part of all cultures in every age. What function do they serve from the spiritual and the human viewpoint?

5. Can it be beneficial to use a mantra when we meditate? If so, do you have any suggestions on how to choose a mantra?

6. The Easter season marked the time of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Why was Christ crucified? Was it really to take away the sins of the world? What does this symbolically mean for us at this time?

7. Please close with an attunement for us to use in the month of April.

STUDY GROUP READING #29
May 1989

Opening Teaching
1. It seems like there is an accelerated rate of change happening in earth right now. New technologies are being discovered and developed constantly. Our life styles seem frenetic, particularly in the big cities. Certainly mass communication has exaggerated the situation, nevertheless, things seem to be moving at a increasingly rapid pace. Can you give us some perspective on this? Where is it all going? How can we cope and stay balanced?

2. Why is it so difficult to detach from or to simply change our negative thinking once we are aware of the pattern? And what is the best way to free ourselves from this negativity?

3. Many people believe in using will power or positive thinking to get what we want, or to overcome bad habits. Others feel that it only creates resistance or struggle within ourselves. Could you comment on this and suggest a better alternative we might practice in achieving desired results in our lives?

4. There's a lot of focus on "The Big One" in California. There's a lot of preparation, simulations of earthquakes by the media. In relation to using our creative imagination to create in earth, does any of that preparatory activity contribute to an earthquake actually happening?

5. Is it important to know what past choices we made before coming into this life in order to live more harmoniously with those choices? If so, how can we learn what those choices are and accept the lessons we have chosen rather than fighting against them or trying to change our circumstances?
6. People who have had near death experiences report being greeted by relatives and loved ones. Is this what really happens when we die, or is it in the imagination of the one having a near death experience?

7. I think part of the motivation for that question is to be reassured that we will be comforted when we die. It's hard to think of eternal forces and souls, etc. when what we're wanting to be is comforted and not to miss our mother or father.

8. How would one reconcile these two ideas: that we have an eternal self that's perfect and complete, and, on the other hand, that we are involved in a process of continuous change and unfoldment. How can we be perfect and complete and still be constantly changing?

9. I would like to ask about personalizing the concept of God. Many of us were raised in a religion where we had, perhaps Jesus as a personification. Or perhaps we followed a guru, or there was some sort of anthropomorphic, personal relationship with God that we could use. And now that we've perhaps become more sophisticated, the idea of energies, ideas in the intellect, feel somewhat cold. Sometimes we feel the need for something very personal. How can we attain that? Do you have any suggestions?

10. Please close with an attunement we can use in the coming month.

STUDY GROUP READING #30
June 1989

Opening Teaching
1. Your opening leads into this question...in a personal reading, you said that our concept of negativity was one of the largest obstacles toward human evolution that we have on the earth. Would you elaborate on that concept?

2. I need some clarification about working with the vision of eternal truth. If everyone had that vision of eternal truth, it seems that we need people to feel passionately about certain wrongs in order, in our society, to right them. It seems like you almost have to have a belief in wrong in order to change, for example, the gang situation, the drug situation--all the things that we see as negative. I wonder if it wouldn't create too much apathy if all had the eternal vision. Could you bring some clarity to this?

3. You stated the following to one of our study group members in a personal reading: ``As most human beings in this period of time, you have promised, as a soul in this lifetime, to bring forth, let us say, an unusual amount of challenging patterns from past times of earth that, over the human centuries, have been responsible for the darkness and shadows that human beings have experienced.'' Would you speak more about this idea? Is that why life seems so much more complicated than it used to? Is this generation as a whole accelerating their challenges?
4. (Referring to part of the answer to #3 above) Do you see the large numbers of psychologists that we have now, of personal growth activities, the ``New Age'' and interest in spiritual things as that balance that's going to help us learn how to heal the negativity?

5. The Bible contains many references to Judgment and a Judgment Day. The Armageddon that you were referring to, does that have something to do with the Judgment Day that the Bible refers to? Can you explain the meaning of this and how to reconcile this concept with New Age Philosophy?

6. Would you close with an attunement that we can use in the coming month?

STUDY GROUP #31
July 1989

Opening Teaching
1. In reference to what you just said, you mentioned that eventually we will master them all, referring to thoughts and feelings. What does that mean? What will it look like or feel like to master our thoughts and feelings?

2. Is that a goal that we as souls have placed for our personalities? In other words, will we want to get to that state before we say, "I'm finished with earth life now and can do other things?''

3. We would like you to discuss the position of women in the world in relation to men. In third world countries women are killed, beaten up and often considered chattel. Even in so called advanced countries, men don't allow women to share power. In this country the vast majority of "movers and shakers" are men with women at mid level jobs, but rarely at the top, essentially unable to achieve power unless men let them. Understanding that we have all been both male and female in many lifetimes, is there a spiritual reason why is in this era women are treated like second class citizens? What are we to learn or conquer through these attitudes? What will it take to bring about an equality between men and women?

4. Along the same vein, almost everything major that has been written throughout the centuries, from Aristotle, to the Bible has been written by men--religious works, philosophical and social teachings. Do these writings adequately reflect the viewpoints of both male and female although delivered by men? Are the truths contained therein colored by the male viewpoint?
5. It seems in this country that considerably more women than men are searching for spiritual truths. Can we hear your views on this?

6. Would you speak about the pro-democracy wave that seems to be sweeping the world at this time? In China specifically, do you see the democratic revolution continuing or will they be set back for several decades because of the suppression of the Chinese government?

7. Vast regions of our country are in the midst of a second year of drought. Why is this occurring and is there anything we can we do spiritually to change the circumstances?

8. Sometimes the feeling of nostalgia or sadness about the past can be an overwhelmingly painful feeling--regrets about things done or not done or hurtful situations that cannot be redone. Obviously the past cannot be changed, but how can the painful or sad memories best be healed?

9. Meditation experiences and other inner experiences seem to be totally subjective. Some people believe that what we perceive during such experiences are products of the imagination and have no objective reality. How can we tell when we have a spiritual experience whether the content of that experiences actually exists in spiritual reality, or is just our imagination?

10. Would you close with an attunement for us to use for the coming month?

STUDY GROUP #32
August 1989

Opening Teaching
1. In the June study group reading you stated that there was a world wide movement toward freedom. You also have said that there is a wave of sensitivity sweeping this country. Will you please tell us how both of these inner movements are likely to affect the political decisions being made in this country now over a woman's right to freely choose to have an abortion.?

2. Would you speak about humor in our lives. How does it benefit us and help us heal? Specifically, what effect does it have upon us physiologically?

3. It is said that one in four women and one in seven men have been sexually abused as children. Would you help us understand the thinking of a man who would sexually abuse a young child? What could be going on in his heart and mind?

4. There have been some recent murders involving fanatical fans and movie stars--of course, John Lennon was a very famous one. One psychologist stated that it has been documented that TV tends to blur the real world; reality becomes less real. Some have said that violence on TV serves to release violent tendencies in people, others say it causes or exaggerates violent tendencies. Would you comment?

5. Will there need to be a change in our media presentations in order for what we look forward to as the New Age of love and sensitivity to actually take place?

6. Some people are committed to ending world hunger by the year 2,000. Is this possible? It seems like human fear and negativity, which appear to be the cause of much suffering, will persist far beyond that date. Is such a commitment as this a healthy approach, or is a less forceful, more gentle approach better? While ending world hunger is noble and compassionate, trying to change the circumstances of the world may not be as effective as working on our own fear of scarcity. What do you suggest?

7. How is the God life force that is in animals and trees, that grows the fetus's, keeps the heart going, etc. different than, to quote you from the March study group tape, "the force of God that animates a fetus body after it comes forth at birth"? Does not all life contain all of God--intelligence, love, and so forth? How does it differentiate at birth?

September 1989

Opening Teaching
1. Is there a spiritual reason why are there so many airplane accidents right now? Why would people choose to die this way?

2. Would you talk about the conscious and the subconscious mind? How they interact?

3 Accepting that reincarnation is a fact, why is it that there have been almost no incidences of being able to trace the veracity of a remembered past life?

4 Is there a benefit in doing past life regressions?

5 Is it a good idea to draw forth negative thoughts and feelings so they can be healed, or simply let them emerge when they do?
6. Would you talk about hypnosis and what is taking place when a person is hypnotized?

7. In the Bible it says, ``Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all else shall be added unto you.'' Would you talk about the meaning of this quote? How does this relate to creating prosperity and abundance in our lives?

8. In a previous tape you explained how healing and growth can take place on the physical, emotional and spiritual level during sleep. Assuming this, what is happening when we grind our teeth during sleep or wake up with a headache or on the wrong side of the bed?'' What message can we learn?

9. Please close with an attunement to use for the month of September.

STUDY GROUP #34
October 1989

Opening Teaching
1. Many of us are interested in diet and health and want to know what to do to stay healthy. We have some confusion in this area because we see people who eat the "perfect" diet and still die of cancer at an early age and others who drink, smoke or eat what is considered unhealthy food and live to be 90. What are the factors that contribute to health?

2. What part does genetic makeup have to play in all of this. For example, I know someone who died of breast cancer whose mother and grandmother had breast cancer. Does the genetic factor have much to do with it or does it have more to do with their belief because of their mother and grandmother, or is this a soul choice?

3. Let's say you had a so-called incurable cancer, it would depend on the personality's desire to work with that, is that correct? I'm trying to get around how someone should not feel like a failure if they do die of cancer and are unable to heal themselves when we know that potential is there.


4. If we were to simply say to you, how can I know God? What would you say to us?

5. Some people believe that the study of human behavior and psychology will eventually replace organized religion. What would you say about that?

6. Everyone is interested in prosperity. Would you give us a teaching this month on the subject of prosperity and abundance?

7. Would you close with an attunement for us to use this month?

STUDY GROUP #35
November 1989

Opening Teaching
1. Certainly the recent San Francisco earthquake is tops in the news right now. What could you say to us about it?

2. Is there any connection between the earthquake and stock market drop on the Friday before the earthquake? Also, is there any significance to all of the attention being focused on the World Series in San Francisco during the earthquake?

3. There seem to be a lot of disasters right now - earthquakes, hurricane Hugo, plane crashes, even New York's infrastructure is falling apart. Does this have anything to do with the coming of the 21st century? Edgar Cayce and other psychics have predicted that such disasters would occur during the 1990's. Are the souls stimulating rapid change right now? What is going on?

4. This disaster, and many other situations, can cause people to feel a loss of control and to feel frightened and impotent. what is the best way for all of us to deal with such feelings and how can we gain a feeling of safety and security in these troubled times?


5. What is "romantic love?" Why do some people experience it while others don't? Why does it seem to fade away? Should romantic love or strong physical attraction be a reason to get married, or should it be discounted in favor of other factors?

6. In general, has everyone in our present life been known to us in some past lifetime, including acquaintances as well as intimate friends and family? Do we ever run into a new soul on our path?

7. Please describe what happens when one person acts as a channel of the universe's energy to help another person heal.

8. Would you give us an attunement to use during the month of November?

December 1989

Opening Teaching
1. Would you please discuss the eternal truths behind the legend of Santa Claus? What purpose, besides commercial, does Santa Claus serve today?

2. Would you discuss Hanukkah and the Festival of the Lights?

3. The Soul, the Spirit, the Christ, may not be separate in man, but would you help us understand the distinction or difference, how each expresses in an individual?

4. Are guides and guardian angels the same? Does everyone have a guardian angel?

5. Jesus as a baby in the manger is revered by many. It does seem he could have accomplished more if born as an adult. Please tell us why souls chose to start human life as children, rather than as adults. What is the purpose and value of the childhood experience for humans?

6. Can you give us a feeling of what it would be like to become "Christ-like'' and how we can realistically live such qualities in our daily life.

7. As we conclude 1989 and prepare to enter the 90's, what would you say to us about this last year from a spiritual perspective?

8. Would you close with an attunement for us to use during the month of December?
