STUDY GROUP READING #301

4. This question if from Minnesota: "In a Reading at the 2011 Retreat, you mentioned that each cell in the human body has a consciousness. Would you discuss this in more detail, and tell us how this is important to our life, and to our healing?"
5. This question is from California: "Throughout the ages, chanting, song, sound, music have been used in healing, meditation, focusing energy, and in the expression of beauty and creativity. I am curious about the power of sound. Would you talk about healing through sound, especially through vocalization, as in singing and chanting, for individuals, for groups, and for the planet? You said in a past Reading that 'if everybody on the planet would sing together, healing of the air could happen.' Would you expand please?" 6. And for our closing, since this is first month of 2012, and since there have been some dire predictions for negative events that are supposed to happen in the year 2012, would you tell us something about what we can expect to unfold on earth this year, and what can we use for an attunement for the coming period? |

4. This question is from Virginia: "Some spiritual books deal with 'ascension' and 'Ascended Masters.' What is ascension, and who or what are the Ascended Masters? Also, would you give us a method to assist our process of ascension?"
5. This question is from California. The Questioner writes: "I recently read a selection from Ron's book, Reflections, about who our spirit guides are. From one of the Guides' Readings, this was given in the book: 'As we have pointed out, many souls have mastered earth to such an extent that they no longer desire to project a portion of themselves into human form. They have begun to create their own non-physical worlds. However, their love for human life prompts them to offer themselves as Guiding Souls for presently living human beings.' When I read this, I felt a sense of sadness, or even fear, that I have been left behind, similar to as if I had done poorly in school, fallen behind in my lessons, and am being left behind a grade-or several! As I read, I began wondering why I haven't mastered life. Did I get a late start? Am I a difficult case, a slow learner, or what is the problem that has left me still in elementary school, so to speak?" 6. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use this month? |

4 cont: from doing my new habit on a certain day, such as an appointment, bad weather, a sore finger, and so forth. Then, the new pattern that I was enjoying so much is broken. When it comes time to get back to it, I find I don't do it anymore at all. I am not looking for excuses not to do it, but the pattern is broken and I end up going days and weeks without getting back to it, and then at some point it's gone. This seems to be a deeper thing than just an interruption. Would you give me some insight or help on this?" 4. This question is from Quebec, Canada: "Of all the possible scenarios, God chose to create a world where all its inhabitants must destroy and eat other life forms in order to survive, resulting in extreme cruelty, in wildlife and in human life. This aspect of creation seems quite mean and malicious, as if coming from the mind of an evil creator. Since other options could have been put in place , how do we reconcile a loving God creating such a world of hardship?" 5. This question is from California: "When we die, will anything we want to know be revealed to us, or are there some things that will take higher evolution or understanding? Will we understand the hidden reasons for the events of our lifetime just lived?" 6. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use this month? |

4. [Susan] I'm not quite sure what the question is here but as you were describing that perfect existence in the garden with beauty and everything you needed, it made me wonder: Is our mass communication contributing to the individual experience of negativity, angst, even ill health? Because even though a person might be living a relatively peaceful life, with the mass media and knowledge of every horrible thing that goes on in every corner of the earth, unless you turn off the TV, you're affected by the negativity of earth. Is that sort of exponentially contributing to more negativity? 5. This question is from Virginia: "What happens to unfulfilled desires upon the death of our physical bodies? Do souls take them up again with the next incarnation, or a later one? Or, are these desires 'retired,' as it were, with the personality that had them so that the new personality can have its own unique experience of desire and achievement?" 6. This question is from California: "In a series of Readings about Jesus and the Christ Force, you said that the soul that lived as John the Baptist developed through human evolution almost as fast as Jesus' soul. This made me wonder if there is some inherent difference in the nature of these souls, and perhaps the souls of Mary and a few others, as compared to the souls of the rest of us who are developing human evolution at what appears to be a slower pace. Would you speak about this?" 7. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use this month? |

3. This question is from Minnesota: “In a Reading given in last years’ Spiritual Retreat in Malibu you said, ‘Important thoughts to gather in your mind concerning the potency and profundity of the human powers that can be unleashed during periods of attunement and meditation, and even the prayers, would be to establish a certain direction for future lifetimes. This is too complex to describe, but simply know that it is another ray, or aspect of the attunement period.’ This is an intriguing idea. Would you speak more about this establishment of a direction for future lifetimes through attunements?”
4. This question is from Arizona, and seems related to what you've just been saying. The questioner writes: “Based on reported near-death experiences, it seems that our beliefs may determine the content of our immediate after-death experience. Is that true? If so, what is the best way to think and feel about life and death in order to have a smooth transition without fearful experiences? Also, is the immediate after-death experience determined by what we are thinking about just before we die, or, is it based on our consistent thought patterns throughout our life?” 5.

4. This question is from Ohio: “Did the writers of the New Testament of the Bible do the best they could for the times to accurately relate the teaching and stories of Jesus, or, were they attempting to influence the thinking of people to further the power of their Christian groups? Were any of the authors of the New Testament actually inspired spiritually in their writings?”
5. This question is from California: “You said in a recent Study Group Reading, ‘There is no distinction, there are no levels, there are no grades amongst the souls. All souls are eternally rooted in divine perfection.’ If there are no grades, or hierarchy of beings, who are the brilliant beings that reportedly greet us when we die, or have a Near-Death Experience? They seem different than a deceased loved one, for example.” 6. This question is also from California: “You have often said that we have all had thousands of lifetimes on earth before our present one, and that we know many people in our lives from previous lifetimes as well. As the world’s population continues to increase—it is almost at eight billion now—how is it possible for souls to have inhabited earth so many times? Just doing the math, it seems impossible that there are that many unique souls. Do the souls ‘divide’ and reproduce like cells?” 7.

4. This question is from Maryland: “Recently, there was a Study Group question about life on other planets. Basically, you answered the question by saying that human beings will find it too difficult and cumbersome to travel to other planets, even if life there is possible. However, is it possible that the souls will choose to put life forms similar to humans on other planets and inhabit those life forms in the same way that they inhabit human bodies on earth? Otherwise, why create so many planets and suns if there are no life forms for souls to ‘experience life.’”
5. This question is from Oregon: “Human beings have been intrigued about the possibility of time travel in recent years, imagining what it might be like to visit past times of earth, perhaps when life was less complicated, less polluted, and more peaceful, or to travel to and explore the future to see what lies ahead. In a recent television program about the nature of the universe, scientist Steven Hawking explored the question of whether or not human beings would ever be able to travel in time. He concluded by saying that he believes that it is theoretically possible for humans to travel forward in time, perhaps by traveling in a space ship moving at close to the speed of light, but does not think that it would be possible to travel backward in time. Is he correct about these possibilities? Would there be any benefit to humans being able to travel in time?” 6. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use this month. |

4. cont:
These healings seem to be especially significant when the healing occurs for a whole group of people at the same time. Is this simply a special person who has had many lifetimes devoted to the transference of divine energies, or is it the mass belief of those people present that stimulates the healing in themselves? Or, is it a combination of the two?” 5. This question is from California: “I have learned that I have had lots of lifetimes where I spoke up for the underdog. That seems to have been a theme. In the personal Readings that I have had with you I have noticed overarching patterns of a certain quality, a frequency of a tendency to go down a certain path. Do we pick a kind of path that we want to explore in our lifetime in different ways? Or, do we get a whole range of paths from many past lifetimes?” 6. This question is from Texas: “You have said that, in the future, something called ‘personal education,’ which today we call therapy, will be part of the curriculum for the education of all children. For those of us who would like to start that for children now, what form would that take, and when would we start it? How could we integrate it with schools?” 7.

5. This question is from Quebec, Canada: "Some individuals who seem quite honest and sincere claim to have been abducted by beings not of this world. What are we to think of this? Are there some visitors from other planets, or other dimensions, and if so, what is their purpose?"
6. This question is from Virginia: "You have said that, outside of earth, everything, all experience, is a blissful, totally wonderful, all-encompassing love. How do you, the Guides, define what is an earth experience of negativity, versus an experience that is outside of earth? Is it that an experience is only perceived by humans as negative when they are 'alive' on earth, and that the same experience after they die would not be interpreted as negative from the new vantage point outside of earth? Are there events and experiences occurring 'outside or earth' that if they occurred 'inside of earth' we would perceive them as negative? Would you please explain how this works?" 7. This is my question and was prompted by the experience of many of our clients whose loved ones have died. We have asked about this in the past, but we would like some further clarification. "Why is it that feeling and sensing the presence of a deceased loved one seems so difficult, especially for those of us who have spent a lifetime in spiritual pursuits? I guess we expect more of ourselves having spent so much time focusing on the spiritual. Would you address this yet again please?" 8.

3. This question is from New York: "For many people, the experience of flying in our dreams is an exhilarating and delightful experience. Is there a deeper interpretation of flying in our dreams? Is there a way to create that experience more often?"
4. Would you address this part of the question: "Is there a way to actually create that flying experience in the dreaming state more often?" 5. This question is from Florida: "What can you tell us about the spirituality of the early Native American Indians that would inspire us today?" 6. This question is from Maryland: "A current interest in our Western culture is the practice of Buddhist Mindfulness, whereby the meditation period is focused on following the breath, or body sensation, in order to disengage from entering our thoughts. This practice has apparent benefits to health, and reduces stress, but seems quite different from what you encourage us to do in making an 'attunement.' Would you please compare the two practices and describe the benefits of each?" 7. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use this month? |

3. This question is from New York: "Modern psychology suggests that geniuses like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Leonardo de Vinci, and others, would today be diagnosed as 'Highly Functioning Autistics,' based on their erratic behavior, tendencies to isolate themselves from society, and being overly-focused on their fields of interest. Some now consider genius to be a form of mental dysfunction. Following that premise, a monk who is isolated from society could also be considered as mentally afflicted. Is the modern psychological study of the human psyche becoming some kind of hindrance to the opening to the unlimited possibilities of human experience on earth?"
4. This question is from Virginia: "There are many spiritual traditions that teach that 'enlightenment' is the highest achievement a human can aspire to. They also say that achieving enlightenment is the only way to escape the cycle of physical birth and death. Would you comment on this? If enlightenment is not the highest achievement for a human to obtain, then what is? And what impact does enlightenment have on whether or not we reincarnate?" 5. This question is from Quebec, Canada: "Scientists see the phenomenon of 'Multiple Personality Disorder' as the patient's personality having 'split' due to trauma in childhood. However, when observing the phenomenon from a spiritual, rather than scientific perspective, it looks like what happens to a Trance Medium channeling a spirit or guide, and not being consciously aware while in trance. In the same fashion, the Multiple Personality patient's main personality is in dormancy while one of the other personalities manifests itself. The behavior, gestures, voices, speech, of those different personalities are so out of character with the patient's usual traits. What is really going on here?" 6.

4. This question is from Vermont: "While most people believe that we have the freedom to choose, there are some brain scientists who suggest that we actually do not. They say that programmed, or conditioned thinking from an early age has set into motion the unconscious mind to decide for us before we are consciously aware of our choices. Additionally, there are others who believe that everything is already set into motion from the Big Bang theory and all we need do is to watch life emerge, enjoy the illusion of physical perception, and go with it. In a personal Reading for me you suggested that I rise up and take authority over my thoughts and feelings, presumably to extricate myself from the negativity I was focusing upon. Would you speak to us about our freedom to choose?"
5. This question is from Minnesota: "In a personal Reading you said that someone did not have a spiritual experience but that it was a psychic experience. Would you explain the difference between the two?" 6. [Susan] This makes me think of something I'd like to ask. Ron and I feel often that we read each other's minds. Is it because after so many years we share physical cues? For example, we might see something and it reminds us of something that's familiar to both of us so we mention it and often say to each other, "Oh, you picked my brain." Is it the physical cues, or is there actually psychic energy flowing between us that we can tap into, or do tap into? 7. This question is from Minnesota: "Would you give us some inspiration from the Christmas story to make the upcoming holiday season more meaningful for us?" 8. Would you close with an attunement for us to use this month? |
