STUDY GROUP READING #289
January 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from California: “You often recommend that we take periods of silence, of attunement, of meditation. Yet, we are living in an era of constant input, of little quiet, and lots of noise. Is the next generation going to exist further away from the knowledge of the divine because of the complexity in the world, or, is there a different kind of awareness that is equally as important as inner wisdom?”

2. This question is from Minnesota: “You have spoken many times in the Study Group Readings about how humans are different from animals because we are a soul in a human body, whereas animals are connected to a group of souls, and do not have the same sense of self that humans do. My question is, what is it like, from the perspective of the soul, to participate with other souls and be connected to an animal? Why would a soul choose to do this? When animals exhibit actions that we interpret as emotional attachment to another animal or human, does this reflect any soul influence, or, are these behaviors simply animal survival instincts?”

3. This question is from Kentucky: “In Ron’s book, The Mystery of the Christ Force, the Guides say, ‘By following the pattern shown by the Jesus One, you can eventually awaken to the connectedness between love and eternal life. That is the key to all understanding, all fulfillment, all mastery in the human world.’ Would you explain this more fully—this connection between love and eternal life, and the pattern shown by Jesus?”
4. This question is from me (Susan): “Someone in their personal Reading that I transcribed for them stated, ‘I can feel some resistance to the idea of being magnificent as a person. It’s as if I’m fearing that there is a danger in thinking too much of myself, or that I might somehow respect others less if I allow a love of myself to penetrate too deeply.’ You often instruct us to celebrate our ‘magnificence,’ but I think many feel as this questioner does. Many, at least in my generation, were taught that humility was important. What would you say to this?”

5. This question is from Texas: “Many people believe in a system called homeopathy, which treats disease by giving people very tiny amounts of certain substances based on the symptoms of the sick person. There is conflicting evidence about the effectiveness of this system, and some people believe that people are cured with this system simply because they believe it will work. In other words, the state of mind provides the cure, not the actual homeopathic substance. Does homeopathy work, and if it does, how does it work on the body?”

February 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. This is my question [Susan]: Ron and I have been watching a TV show called, “I Survived, Beyond and Back,” which recounts the near-death experiences of people who died and have been brought back by medical science. Almost all of these people report seeing loved ones, feeling exquisite love, and having a life review. These are experiences that the Guides have talked about for years. How-ever, no one who has the near-death experience ever goes beyond that because they come back to life. What happens after the reunion, life review, and sublime experience of love? What happens next?

2. [Susan]: In all these shows that we have seen, there was only one person who had a negative experience during the near-death process. A man felt that when he died, at first he was in Hell. His experience was terrifying. Then, a hand reached out to him and he entered the experience of
sublime love before he returned to life. Why did he have such a terrifying experience?

3. This question is from Maryland: “You once told us in a Study Group Reading that, after we die, positive feelings and energies become part of our soul’s energy structure, but that the negative energies ‘hit a wall’ and do not get incorporated into our souls. Is there anything similar to that process on earth? For example, I wanted to create a very positive feeling in my office one day last

 


week, and I practiced sending loving thoughts to each person, and sending clean energy into the offices. In the middle of that process, I found myself getting annoyed with one person in my office and I went into negative thinking about her. I would like to believe that my positive thoughts went out into the office, but that my negative ones just plummeted inside my car and did not go out, because they are not aligned with true spirit. Is that possible? Or, on earth, do positive and negative thoughts go out equally to other people and places?”

4. This question is from New York: “Would you provide some thoughts around the notion of free will? What happens when we don’t feel capable of exercising our free will? Is it just fears? What happens in cases of compulsion, where the sense is that our free will feels absent, or we feel at the mercy of forces either outside our selves, or not in our control?”

 5. This question is from Florida: “It has been said that we create good and bad ‘luck’ ourselves. How does this work since we are creators with our thoughts as we focus them within the time sequence using our ‘free will’? And, how does ‘prayer to a higher force’ play into bringing this about?”

March 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from New York: “My question is about major accidents, or dramatic events such as the recent shooting of Senator Gabrielle Giffords, that happen through no fault of the victim. Because these events are so powerfully life-changing, it is hard to see them as solely arising from a chance occurrence, or from human behavior, whether it be from carelessness, or poor judgments, or human choices. Are there soul factors that play a part in these events because the person needs to grapple with a challenge or an injury? How do human or soul factors weigh in when such events occur?”

2. This question is from North Carolina: “You have said that, as humans, we are being sustained by energies of the souls. What added energy is given to us by the Christ Force?"

3. This question is from Florida: “From a spiritual perspective, what is special about the Bible?"



4. Susan: I want to ask another question about the Bible, and that is—Were the writers of the Bible inspired to write the words as they knew them from Jesus such that it would be a
message for humanity throughout the ages?

5. This question is from Virginia: “My question is about negativity. You have said that negativity exists only on earth, but when I read about the entities of other frequencies, or on other planets, many of them seem very negative to me—with a lot of wars and power struggles. Are there, or have there been, wars between races on different planets, at any frequency? Is this negativity? How is negativity defined?”

STUDY GROUP READING #292
April 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from Texas: “In the past, you have said that sometimes a large group of souls will choose to die together, although we may find that difficult to understand from our human perspective. You have said that this can happen when there are a large number of deaths at the same time, such as in the case of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Although souls do not see death as negative, why is this choice made? Do they plan to come back as a group with specific plans for their next incarnations? Are they removing themselves from the earth since it already has more people than the souls had foreseen for it? For what other reasons might a large group of souls make this choice?”

2. This question is from Washington State: “I just finished reading Ron’s book, Healing the Heart, Healing the Body. One part of the book gives an example of a person who is angry and decides to shoot a stranger. The message was that the soul of the shooter and the soul of the stranger were ‘in agreement’ on the benefits of the death, and the situation was ‘allowed’ by these two souls. And, of course, there was no badness since there was learning. Is this concept of soul agreement in such events generally the case, always the case, or rarely the case? What about serial killers? Are those who kill others due to confused thoughts and distorted fears generally somehow connected to their victims? Are there always positive reasons for things that we consider horrible, like torture and homicide—for example, the shooting in Arizona of the politician?”

3. This question is from Maryland: “I am studying A Course in Miracles, described as, ‘A Correction to the Tenants of Christianity as Dictated by Jesus Through the Channel, Helen Schucman.’ The Course says, ‘Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.’ The Course, in simplistic terms, teaches that our outer world—the world of perception—is made by the belief of opposites and separate wills, in perpetual conflict with each other and God.

This is the creation of the ego and is not real. The world of perception is the illusion, is the dream. No thoughts exist apart from God because God and his creation share one will. And, through forgiveness and the Holy Spirit, we can wake up from the dream we think is reality and come into truth. I am curious as to the Guides’ comment on these ideas. Is A Course in Miracles more aligned with truth than some of our other thought systems and religions?”

4. This question is from Florida: “The ancient cities of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa in Pakistan were primary locations of the Indus Valley Civilization that flourished between 3300-1700 BC. Some people believe that the cities were destroyed with some kind of weapon that caused radiation levels to register in the earth and in the skeletons found there. In the Sanskrit epic of ancient India called the Mahabharata, there is a story of the ruler Ashwattaman fighting some other group with such weapons. Those of us who are ancient civilization buffs would love to learn more about this.”

5. This question is from North Carolina: “When we find ourselves in the midst of negative people, what is the best way for us to avoid taking on their pain and not be affected by it?”

6. Susan] I would like to ask, it’s so impossible these days to escape the awareness of earth events, the internet, the news. I mean you’d have to virtually live underground and not let anyone in to avoid the knowledge of what’s going on in the world. The tragedy in Japan, the earthquakes, tsunami, nuclear meltdown, bombings in the middle east, people fearing the end of the world because of the Mayan calendar, fears of radiation, there are fears and threats everywhere. Can you give us some inspiration? Clearly, we can’t constantly turn off the TV, but how can we navigate our way through all of this negativity that seems to be going on in the world right now?

STUDY GROUP READING #293
May 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from California: “The world’s food supply is becoming frighteningly more and more polluted and unsafe to eat. Many of the world’s largest food sources are being genetically engineered in ways that we can’t even be sure of the consequences to our bodies. I would like to know if there is a way to work with our mind as we eat our food—even non-organic fruits and vegetables, meats with added hormones and antibiotics, or fish laced with mercury—in a way that allows it to nourish our bodies without harming the cells of the body. Can we work mentally to render most of the foods we eat harmless, and even healthy?”

2. This question is from New Mexico: “Many sources are describing an augmented energy taking place on our planet right now, and perhaps even in the entire universe. It is my understanding that the accelerated frequencies are intended to assist humans in our ‘Awakening’ by helping to elevate consciousness so that we may move out of the selfishness and the illusion of separation and return to a Oneness, or Unity for all of humanity. How would you describe what is actually happening at this time on Earth, and what suggestions can you offer us to help embody this transition and opportunity to the fullest extent possible?”
 
3. This question is also from New Mexico: “I understand that in order for us to ascend, or awaken at this time, that it is very important to detoxify our physical bodies of impurities, as well as our emotional bodies of past unresolved emotions. All of that will assist in the awakening process. Am I accurate in these understandings, and, if so, what suggestions can you offer along these lines that will assist us in moving past our ‘life themes and repeat performances’ that are rooted in unconscious behaviors, choices that don’t serve us, and antiquated thinking?”


4. This question is from New York: “I am curious as to what you can tell us about our justice system. Although I have many questions about it, the first would be about how to deal with violent criminals. Would you agree that they need to be separated from the general population, and if so, what is the best way to do that? Also, what is the best way to handle convicted criminals once they are in jail?”

5. This question is from Minnesota: “How do the beliefs that we hold during our lifetime affect our experience after death? Is each person’s experience completely individual to them?”

6. [Susan] So, if you believed, for example, like some Christians do, that you will be sitting on the right hand of God playing harps, might there be a temporary imagining of that, or, if you believe that there will be seventy virgins there awaiting you, might there be a temporary experience of that?

June 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from Oregon: "Humanity is now facing a huge problem on a scale that has never been seen before due to the nuclear meltdown of the reactors at Fukushima in Japan, and the explosions that have taken place there which have sent radioactive materials throughout the world. How extensive is the toll likely to be with regard to life on this planet? Will human beings be able to contain this catastrophe and ultimately prevent such events in the future? What is the spiritual significance of this event? Why would such a thing as radioactivity even exist or have been created?"

2. This question is from Maryland: "It seems that there is an increase in young people choosing to commit suicide and leave their earth life very early. While I cannot comprehend why this is a choice for someone so young, I am struck to wonder if there is a pattern emerging? This can't be the soul's desire. Please provide insight into what is going on?"
      Follow-up by Susan: And yet, certainly, there have been children in families where they are deeply loved, but then they get out into school, or into their peer groups, and there's bullying, and there's competition. There's all of these other things that parents can't necessarily control, or that at some point the parents' love isn't enough. Would you speak to that?

3. This question is also from Maryland: "In last month's Study Group Reading, you answered a question regarding the next generation by stating that the next generation may, indeed, focus on more superficial aspects of life, because of all the new technology. However, in past Readings, you have said that despite the negativity that we see around us, we are moving toward more compassion, love, and kindness. Those two statements seem contradictory. Would you explain?"
  • Top of Page

4. This question is from California: "How do you view the recent assassination of Osama Bin Laden? If there is anything that can be shared about him and his life path, please share that also. I was very disturbed by his shooting. I thought of Jesus' saying, 'What you do to the least of these you do to me.'"
     Follow-up by Susan: To take this a little further, there is the dictate, "Thou shalt not kill." But, from a soul point of view, is killing justified when, for example, Osama Bin Laden was killed, partly for revenge, but also to prevent more deaths from his camp. If we have a Buddhist, peaceful, Gandhi-like point of view, is that justified? Can we justify that in our minds-the killing of someone to prevent more killings?

5. This question is from Oregon: "It makes sense to me that those people who surrounded Jesus in the time of Palestine were very powerful and knowing persons who had lived important and interesting lives in history. These were not just 'ordinary' people, but very possibly had been in their past lives powerful rulers, generals, leaders, teachers, and people found in our history books. I believe that there were no accidents in the people who were drawn to Palestine to walk with and be taught by Jesus. Am I wrong in this insight?"

6. This question is from California: "What can you tell us about the seeming 'epidemic' of autism that is now occurring? Would you speak about these children and the people that then care for them?"

7. This question is from North Carolina. "If time and space are in some way an illusion, are we living reincarnated lives all at once?"

STUDY GROUP READING #295
July 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. This question is from Ohio: "There seem to be more child prodigies in the arts than we've ever been aware of-incredible singers, musicians, artists. Perhaps we are aware of them because of the media and internet. I am wondering, when there is such a child who has so obviously 'come into this life' with a gift like that, is it because they have not fulfilled something from a past lifetime, or, because they fulfilled their gift and want to do it again even more? What is the more common scenario?"

2. This question is from me [Susan]: Many times in personal Readings people ask why they are unable to feel or see their loved one after they died. Clearly, that is one of the reasons why people suffer so acutely from loss, because the loved one's death seems so final, and one can feel so left behind and alone. Why can't we be aware of our deceased loved ones, and how can we navigate through these feelings of loss?

3. This question is from California: "If one were to look at life scientifically only, studying only the physical facts, one could conclude that there is no 'God,' and thus would be an atheist. If a person lives a moral life, what does it matter whether they have faith, or believe in God, or not? Does it only matter to the individual? At this point in time, it doesn't seem that religion has succeeded in creating peace or 'good will for all.'"

4. This question is from North Carolina: "When you speak of physical conditions in what we believe are in our bodies, you refer to the 'energy patterns' surrounding our body. How can we best shift the energy patterns and create more effective healings? Is it possible to overcome chronic conditions of pain?"



5. To clarify a point that you made in there, you said that medical science developed out of a desperation, but couldn't you say that once we lost the spiritual healing, couldn't you say that medical science was actually developed out of the divine responsibility to serve others?

6. This question is from California: "Particularly, in the area of illness, there is a kind of pervasive attitude that suffering is courageous and valiant. People can say, 'He battled cancer to the end.' I think that this idea contributes to the resistance to assisted hastening of death, and the slowness in developing, and reluctance to prescribing really effective pain medications. Is the idea that Jesus suffered on the cross a contributing factor to this way of thinking? Would you comment on this?"

7. This question is from Pennsylvania: "Many spiritually-seeking people now feel troubled. Even as we continue to trust that nothing can damage our being, and fully understand that, from a higher perspective, there is no sudden dramatic crisis for humanity, many of us are sensing a badness in life that seems 'worse than normal.' Please offer some advice for those of us who are not sure what practical attitude to take regarding humanity's most likely near-term future. Metaphorically speaking, which is more prudent at this time-to sit tight while continuing to heal our fears, or to begin to think about changing our seats!"

August 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from Texas: “You have said that when we meet with other people, or simply pass them as strangers, our souls will often know each other from past lives. The souls will joyfully update each other on their experiences, and quickly absorb and learn from each other, even though we may never have contact with the other human. I have been thinking about that interaction whenever I am in a crowd, or even in a traffic jam. Would you please expand on this for us? How does this affect our lives on a human level?”

2. This question is from the State of Washington: “I recently retired from a career of helping people in the mental health field. I agree with the Guides regarding treating my fellow humans with compassion and kindness, but for me to actively seek out those who may be in need of mental health intervention causes resistance in me—a kind of internal ‘black cloud.’ This causes some twinge of guilt about not helping others, but not enough to alter my thinking or behavior. I am wondering if I have a burden of responsibility to spend the next stage of my life helping people, as I have spent the earlier part of my life helping people. What would be the consequences of simply pursuing my own personal pleasures in life now? When you’ve spent your life in a career, is it okay to give it up without guilt once you retire? Would you speak about this?”



3. This question is from New York: “What would be your definition of forgiveness? Is it necessary to work toward this? Can it be enough to try to be understanding and compassionate for those who, out of selfishness, have behaved in ways that were knowingly, and perhaps repeatedly, hurtful to another?”
 
4. This question is from Wisconsin: “The life circumstances that a soul can be born into are incredibly diverse. Would you please speak about why there always seems to be a soul interested in incarnating into virtually any situation, even in places where there are serious challenges such as famine and war?”

September 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from California: “Difficulty with sleep, or insomnia, appears to be a common problem in our culture. Either people have trouble falling asleep, or, they wake up in the night and can’t get back to sleep. Many rely on prescription medications or alcohol to help, and they are afraid to give up those things for fear that they won’t sleep. Many have tried the quiet darkened room approach, and other techniques, but when they fail, what is there to do? It’s clear that the explanation for this disruptive problem differs from person to person. I’m wondering what you can tell us about insomnia, its impact on our lives if we struggle with it—for example, not reaching the stage of ‘delta sleep,’ which is said to have important restorative properties. What can we look to as the best possible solution for the problem?”

2. This question is also from California: “There seem to be so many complicated forces and energies at play in forming relationships between potential mating partners. How can one know whether the initial attraction in a love relationship is founded on a solid, healthy basis? Also, what techniques can a couple practice to build a trusting, loving, and open relationship?”

3. This question is from Wisconsin: “Is there a connection between leading a good life and having an easy death?”

4. This question is from New York: “What influences the age at which we die? Does it arise out of the course of one’s individual life? Is there some unseen working between our soul and our human self that determines our time of death? Is our time of death related to other important people in our life, such as a mating one?”



5. This question is from Missouri: “You often applaud the human traits of idealism and imagination. Sometimes, I think that I have a gift of being an idealist, but I also wonder about the mind’s capability to be lost in fantasy and distortions of the truth. Maybe I am just imagining that I am an idealist. It seems that truth, from the earthly perspective, is always seen through the eyes of the beholder. There are so many ways to perceive truth, depending on one’s inner experience! Would you comment on this spectrum of idealism and fantasy? Are there are constants that might help truth seem less elusive?”

6. Because many of us in the Study Group enjoy workshops or spiritual gatherings, we thought that the answer to the following question would be of interest to you. The question was asked by a Study Group member in Minnesota in her personal Reading and she has given us permission to include the Guides’ answer in this month’s Study Group reading. Her question was: “In a Reading that you gave at the 2010 Spiritual Retreat with Ron and Susan, you talked about the extraordinary ‘accelerated energies’ that occurred at the Retreat that were beneath the conscious level. Would you speak more about those invisible energies and how best to manifest them?”

October 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from the state of Washington: “In my dreams, I am often doing things with people who seem to be good friends, or at least acquaintances, but, in my waking life, I wouldn’t know them at all. Are these people souls from past lives who have come into my dreams to help explain my life to me, or, are they entirely imagined by me?”

2. This question is from Virginia: “Do souls have innate unique characteristics, interests and talents in the spiritual world, and, if this is the case, do souls in addition to making personality choices for growth on Earth also attempt to infuse these unique qualities into their earthly expressions? For example, if a soul is a teacher or a guide in the spiritual world, might it also pursue that expression in its human expressions from one life to the next?”

3. This question is from Texas: “It seems that many children now in our society have many food allergies, compared to even the recent past. Is there something that is causing this in our society, or, is this simply something that we are now more aware of compared to a few decades ago?”
4. This question is from Maryland: “You have said repeatedly that feelings are temporary, yet some of us experiences lifetimes, or decades, that are predominately characterized by depression or fear. Would you please elaborate on the temporary nature of feelings that to some of us last a very long time and do not seem temporary at all?”

5. This question is from the same questioner in Maryland: “You encourage us to wallow in our negative feelings for five or ten moments before turning to, or aligning our minds to truth thinking. However, when is it appropriate to ‘just say no’ to a negative thought or experience instead of letting ourselves enter into the bad feeling that it produces? It seems that we could go down an unnecessary path of wallowing in negativity without it really being productive.”

6. This question is from Virginia: “In the early stages of human life on Earth, were ‘advanced’ souls who remembered all knowledge sent to Earth in human bodies to teach the more primitive ‘humans’ living here about more advanced ways of living, including advancements in agriculture, technology and science? Were these early ‘advanced souls’ thought to be ‘gods’ by the less advanced humans? Who were the less advanced humans? Would you please describe what happened historically in ancient times to help us better understand these issues?”

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

STUDY GROUP READING #299
November 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from Texas, and it is a follow-up to an answer given in last month’s Reading. The questioner writes: “In explaining some of the causes of what we call food allergies, you said that in some cases substances that are added to food in the belief that they amplify health may actually numb the organs in a normal healthy body. Would you please tell us what these substances might be? Are they substances that we call vitamins, or added protein, or fiber? Do we numb our organs by taking vitamin supplements that are separate from food?”

2. This question is from California: “Digital technology is creating a generation of children who multitask rapidly and need frequent new stimulation in order to learn. There are positives and negatives to this, and clearly it is not going to change. According to Jordan Grafman of the Kessler Foundation Research Center, research shows that in multitasking, and I quote, ‘You get better at the physical and visual motor parameters of what you are doing, but not the deeper, thoughtful aspects.’ My question is, what is the long-term consequence of this finding, and, is it even important or relevant in the grand scheme of things for people to think deeply?”

3. This question is from Virginia: “As computer technology continues to improve, is it possible that one day scientists could develop a computer brain that is comparable to the human brain, in terms of capacity, flexibility, feeling, and creative thinking, and perhaps an android body to house such a brain? If all of that were ever to happen, would the souls, out of a love for physical adventure, ever consider occupying such an artificial body?”


4. This question is from Oregon: “As we grow in our compassion and love for others, will we see ourselves as more and more being unable to tolerate any kind of violence, or the hurting of other humans and creatures, as a natural result?”

5. This question is also from Oregon: “Would you please speak to us about loving ourselves and others as the master teacher Jesus in Palestine loved those around him, particularly in the last hours of his life. It is easy for us to love those that love us back and treat us with kindness, compassion, and love, but it is more difficult with those who hurt us, both physically and emotionally. How can we love as Jesus loved?”

6. I would like to ask a little bit more about the concept, or the word, love, because when I think of loving someone—the feeling to create a warm, loving feeling—I think of my children, or my parents, or a beloved friend, or a beloved mate. When I think about loving somebody who has injured me in some way, or injured someone that I love, it’s hard to use the same word love that I use when I talk about loving my mate. Is there another way to sort of frame that when we’re talking about somebody who isn’t so lovable?

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

STUDY GROUP READING #300
December 2011

OPENING TEACHING
1. Our first question is from Oregon: “As human beings age, our memories fade with the passage of time. Most would agree that this can be desirable when these memories are of painful or unpleasant experiences, however, at times, even memories that we would like to retain of happy and loving experiences begin to fade. After our death, will these memories return to us? Do our souls incorporate these memories along with those of our past lives into themselves in some way? Do these memories remain with our souls eternally, and do our souls review them at times, much as we would look through family photo albums?”

2. This question is from California: “The older we get, the faster time seems to speed by. How do we slow down our experience of time?”

3. This question is from Kentucky: “In the August 2011 Study Group Reading, you opened with remarks about the benefits of ‘approaching the throne of God,’ and ‘the eyes of God’ experience. Would you elaborate on these kinds of out-of-body experiences? How might we achieve such experiences?”

4. This question is from California: “In a recent personal Reading, I asked about a person who lived in the 1800s whom I have been very interested in, and have been reading about. This person was well known in his lifetime. You said that I was ‘linked’ to him in a very complex way, but not in physical life. Would you please explain what this complex area is? Would I have been in a ‘soul group’ with him that tried to help and inspire this person? I have read about groups of souls who are non-physical and lend constant support to those who incarnate. Would this have been something like that?”



5. This question is also from California, and the questioner writes: “Since this is the month of Christmas, I would like to ask a question about Jesus. What did Jesus’ soul do in the time period between his physical death on the cross, and his resurrection?”

6. This question is from Kentucky: “In the March 2011 Study Group Reading, you said that Jesus, when he spoke to his disciples, gave them a ‘spiritual transfusion’ that went beyond words and meanings. You said that Jesus emanated energies that penetrated the listeners and were captured through the sound of his voice, and that sensitive listeners would be transformed by their own inner experience. Would you tell us more about this, and how it was done?”

7. As our closing for December of 2011, would you give us a spiritual transfusion like Jesus gave that goes beyond words and meaning?

The CD or MP3 version  includes The Guides’ Closing With Music,
