Part 2 of 2 From a Workshop given in 2002:
"The Power of Creativity for Healing and Joy"

​T1-Susan’s Note
T2-Ron’s Attunement
T3-The Guides’ Opening
T4-Question 1: Are there worlds or realms of ideal forms we sometimes tap into to bring these areas of perfection and beauty into earth through our art? If so, how can we facilitate this direct perception and hold onto it long enough to transcribe or record it through design, visual art, writing or any other creative expression? Is this somehow related to sacred geometry or the divine proportion as found in nature and architecture?





T5-Question 2: Fear seems to be at the root of each of our struggles with creativity. Would you shed some light on the source of this fear in humanity and give a new archetypical story we can all relate to.
T6-Question 3: How do we work with fear and terror in our creativity?
T7-Question 4: How do we face our dark side and, therefore, not fear self-revelation?
T8-Question 5: In what ways can art and other creative methods be used to bring healing physically and emotionally in schools, hospitals and other “healing” institutions? Are there any specific ways to go about it?
T9-Question 6: How can we express our artistic creativity and make a lot of money in the process? Could you please give us a step-by-step method for this?

STUDY GROUP READING #388

APRIL 2019
"Keys to Meditation"

T1 Susan's Note: This month’s Study Group offering was originally released on a cassette tape called “Keys to Meditation.” As I re-listened to it, clearly it is about not only meditation, but also working with the mind and the emotions to create a deep attunement to spiritual realities, and Ron’s Reading process. During the 1993 Retreat, a participant had asked him to talk about his thoughts on the subject of meditation and what follows was a spontaneous talk given by him during that Retreat. At the end of Ron’s talk, there is a question and answer by The Guides on how we can make meditation a rewarding experience. Be sure to read the bonus notes found after The Guides’ answer. The following is Ron speaking at the Retreat.
T2-Ron's talk at The 1993 Retreat
​T3-Question 1: 
How do you get beyond the point of not trusting your meditation experience because of the confusion of your own personality? 
​T4-Question 2:
 
​ When you were talking about rituals in the beginning are you talking about things like lighting incense or a candle, or are you talking about some kind of inner ritual? 
​



T5-Susan's Note and Question and Answer from The Guides: ​ ​ This concludes what we recorded of Ron’s talk at the 1993 Retreat. What follows is a question asked by me of the Guides speaking through Dr. Scolastico during a Reading for the participants.
​
Question: For some of us, meditation seems like a struggle. We either fall asleep or our thoughts run rampant. What can we do about this? How can we make meditation a rewarding experience? ​

STUDY GROUP READING #390
JUNE 2019 - 
From the 2002 Spiritual Retreat
 “The Journey of the Soul: From Birth to Death And Back Again”

​2002 Retreat Reading No. 3
T1 Susan's Note: 
​The 18th Annual Spiritual Retreat, held in November of 2002 at Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, CA, was called “The Journey of the Soul—From Birth to Death and Back Again. Following is Reading No. 3 which includes general questions prepared for the Guides by the participants. They would form small groups and discuss what they were interested in learning from The Guides and then formulate their question. I, Susan, would read the questions for the group. (Readings 1 and 2 were presented as Study Group No. 389, last month, April, 2019)
​T2- Ron's Attunement
T3-The Guides' Opening​
T4-Question No. 1: There are healers who are able to access their soul and/or guides to help others heal their physical bodies. How do they do this, and how can each of us better access and trust our own soul or inner guidance to heal ourselves and others?
​T5-Question No. 2​: You have stated that souls rarely intervene in human choices that may lead to their accidental death. However, you gave an example of a child that was saved from drowning by a dog due to the intervention of the souls. In another example, even though the souls preferred that John F. Kennedy, Jr. live, they chose not to intervene. What criteria do the souls use to decide whether or not to intervene in these situations?
T6-Question No. 3​: What do you mean by the term “completion?” How does it relate to the eastern concept of enlightenment? Is there further evolution after we’ve completed our earth journey?
​T7-Question No. 4​:  Would you comment on the part about if there is further evolution after we’ve completed our earth journey?
T8-Question No. 5​:  This afternoon you discussed that after death the soul shepherds the human self from inside the body to the “all.” You implied that during this process patterns are established that will become a future human self, and that this was during the transmutation process before we are completely one with our soul. Will you elaborate on this mystery time and process.
​T9-Question No. 6 and Closing​:  The opening Reading last night was a unique experience. (Reading No. 2, Study Group Reading #389) It seemed that you were working with us on an energetic level. Please explain in detail what you did, and then continue that process with us.

STUDY GROUP READING #391
JULY 2019 - From the 2002 Spiritual Retreat
 “The Journey of the Soul: From Birth to Death And Back Again”

​2002 Retreat Reading No. 4
T1 Susan's Note: 
​The 18th Annual Spiritual Retreat, held in November of 2002 at Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, CA, was called “The Journey of the Soul—From Birth to Death and Back Again." Following is Reading No. 4 which includes 2 personal questions that I thought you would find interesting.
T2- Ron's Attunement
T3-The Guides' Opening
T4-
Question No. 1:  ​This question is from a 38 year old business woman and she asks the following: “I feel like I have a beautiful life, one that I am very appreciative for. But I’m bored and feeling very unfulfilled. I feel like I’ve toiled and cultivated the field, but nothing is grow-ing. I feel like I’ve been holding the space open for over a year and I’m not happy. Can you tell me why and how do I move on to that “better than ever street?”


  • Top of Page
​T5-Question No. 2​: The late Marian Myers was a schoolteacher and a longtime friend and client of Ron’s. She loved The Guides and gave me express permission to share any of her Readings. I leave the question in her voice for those of you who knew her:

​MARIAN: My 50 year old daughter LeAnn died in April. She was quite incapacitated from years of M.S. I have heard it said that hearing was last of the senses to go. Also, that many near death stories have told of people seeing a bright light. I am interested in knowing if LeAnn was hearing the many loving messages given to her by me, her brothers and family and how much she added to our family life. Was she aware that we were by her side day and night the last few days here? Might she have seen and followed a bright light? Tell me what you can about her last awareness of physical life and what she might have experienced on the soul level as her spirit was freed from her body, or any other information that would be helpful for any of us and her family.

STUDY GROUP READING #392
AUGUST 2019 - From the 2002 Spiritual Retreat
 “The Journey of the Soul: From Birth to Death And Back Again”

2002 Retreat Reading No. 5
T1 Susan's Note: ​The 18th Annual Spiritual Retreat, held in November of 2002 at Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, CA, was called “The Journey of the Soul—From Birth to Death and Back Again." Following is Reading No. 5 which includes 3 personal questions that I thought you would find inspiring.
T2-Ron's Attunement
T3-The Guides' Opening
T4-Question No. 1:
  ​​The first question is from a woman of east Indian origin who lives in Canada; she asks the following: Dear Guides. Thank you so much for coming into my life and showing me the peaceful and content ways of living. My loving husband passed away three years ago. With your guidance and love, I have accepted everything and everyone in my life. I came here to receive your love and the love of other souls which I am receiving abundantly. All I need is your guiding and loving message for me to take home with me to carry on my peaceful and content ways of living throughout my lifetime.



T5-Question No. 2​: This question was asked by a young business woman and mother who lives in the Midwest: I frequently feel a sense of great fear, sometimes even terror inside of myself. I don’t know where this feeling comes from. It expresses in my personality in being very shy and in a reluctance to reveal myself to people. To a certain extent I’ve gotten used to doing things that frighten me, but fear also stops me from doing many things I might otherwise do and can also keep me isolated from other people. Can you give me some insight into the origins of this feeling? And also give me some ways of working through the fear?
​T6-Question No. 3​: This question was asked by a young woman from California: My understanding is that my soul contains all wisdom and knowledge. I’d like my soul to speak to me and give me a gift of wisdom or understanding that I can use to guide myself now and throughout the rest of my life.

OCTOBER 2019 -  From the 2002 Spiritual Retreat
 “The Journey of the Soul: From Birth to Death And Back Again”

2002 Retreat Reading No. 8 and 9
​T1-Susan's note: The 18th Annual Spiritual Retreat, held in November of 2002 at Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, CA, was called “The Journey of the Soul—From Birth to Death and Back Again. Following are Readings No. 8 and 9. Reading 8 includes questions that were posed by the Retreat participants and asked by me. Reading 9 is the closing to the 5 day Retreat.​
T2-Ron's Attunement
T3-The Guides' Opening, Reading No. 8

T4-Q and A One, Reading No. 8:  You have told us that souls who have mastered human life rarely choose to come back. How can humanity as a whole heal all the fear and violence that exists on earth when the souls that have mastered earthly existence are not returning?
T5-Q and A Two, Reading No. 8:  ​You have said in other Readings that souls stay in the background because humans have free will. We want to know why is free will so important, because from our perspective, it is hard to understand why they let us go on generation after generation creating negativity without intervening in a tangible way in the physical world?
T6-Q and A Three, Reading No. 8: Please describe Jesus’ completion and compare it to our completions.
T7-Q and A Four, Reading No. 8:  ​And for our final question, we ask the following. We now invite you to lead us in another experience that will move each of us, no matter what level we are now at, another level deeper in opening to our soul. If possible, please give us an experience that we can work with on our own to continue our process of transformation.​

DECEMBER 2019 -  From the 2008 Spiritual Retreat
"Discovering The Mysteries of The Christ Force"  ​

2008 Retreat Readings No. 3 and 4
T1 Susan's Note and Ron's Attunement: 
​The 23rd Annual Spiritual Retreat, held in November of 2008 at Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, CA, was called “Discovering The Mysteries of the Christ Force. Following are Readings No. 3 and 4. Personal questions were removed for confidentiality.
 T2- The Guides' Opening, Reading No. 3
T3-Q and A One, Reading No. 3:
My question has to do with the truth of a spiritual union, also known as a twin flame. And this is in relationship to the fullest expression of the Christ Force in human form. The archetypes, for example, Adam and Eve, Isis and Osiris, Jesus and Mary Magdalene are examples in history that inspire. So my question is not so much about the human earthly needs for companionship, which we all know and we all agree are beautiful and supportive to live in that way and not feel alone, but the question is more metaphysical and spiritual about the progression and development of a soul’s path that has been around for many lifetimes as part of the final part of the journey of the earth adventure. Does this spiritual union archetype offer us a deeper wisdom that we can learn from, and if so, what can we learn about Jesus and Mary Magdalene’s relationship? Would Jesus have had the life he had without the relationship with Mary Magdalene?​

T5-
Ron's Attunement, Reading. 4: 
T6-The Guides' Opening, Reading #4: 
T7-Q and A Two, Reading #4:  ​09:33 min
In Ron’s book, “The Mystery of The Christ Force,” the Guides say, “At the death of your present physical body, your inner life will go forward to express in different ways that are intimately woven with divine souls.” I am curious about the ways souls express themselves differently. Do souls have aspirations and desires? Do they learn and progress and evolve? And finally, does the Christ Force have a role in the soul’s expression?
