1.5 Group Work

As far as a group is concerned there is a flux and one may well find that its composition of members is quite changed as time passes. It's not tragic, in fact most groups chop and change from time to time. If the membership remains static the group usually becomes static, even biased, so change is usually brought about by new members, different outlooks and personalities. No-one should ever feel threatened by this as it is a teaching and a growth - we all learn from one another. As long as the main purpose of the group is retained then there is no harm, only good to each person and to the group.

Some persons will leave for their own reasons but will take that growth with them and will have left something of their knowledge and outlook behind. Anyone who leaves for a reason not relating to uplifting themselves is not growing, but then again perhaps that person needs to leave so as to assimilate whatever has happened in his own time and then he/she will show improvement, so never allow anyone to leave with the impression that they are deserting, or traitors, or somehow letting anyone down, because they may not feel free to return when they are able to absorb the changes that have occurred.

Life and one's encounters with events and with others should always be on a level of understanding and objectivity, don't insist on compliance by all, don't judge, always be free and allow others to be free in the most loving and accepting way possible, as God does and as God has decreed. Even where there is fault and unpleasantness, one simply tries one's best then you go elsewhere; one does not throw stones at whoever cannot submit to the general pattern of life, one gives them room to grow and an invitation to return when able. (12.4.85)

Almost all that is wrong in the human body can be healed or mitigated somewhat by the correct attitudes of thinking, diet and behaviour. The best thing is to prevent any major occurrence in one's self but this is usually not possible due to the way people are raised in an unknowing society, family included. School alone can be difficult to negotiate without injuries of some sort and that is just one instance.

The world is working towards the proper knowledge but how hard it is for those persons who have to battle against almost a conspiracy of ignorance, veniality, and indifference to others' wellbeing, and a widespread reluctance to admit one is wrong and to do something to change that wrong. Governments, manufacturers, sports peoples (promoters), uninvolved teachers and so on, deliberately blind their eyes and stop their ears to any message but one of custom and expediency; they feel, or profess, that whatever is good over-all and the common good is all that can be done. Any isolated cases of beings injured or deprived is just small in comparison and can always be dealt with. How, I say? In hospitals, in traction, in homes for the crippled and congenitally defective or, more mercifully, in a decent burial.

That's statistics, and without looking at, or listening to, or feeling for those poor suffering "isolated" cases, they can go on perpetuating their wrongs, gradually building thicker armour about themselves so that they needn't even, in time, erect those walls, they are already there, firmly in place. I'd say permanently in most cases, because if anything ever went wrong within their own milieu they have the money and contacts to right the wrong, or cover up nicely with a very decent burial indeed. "That has nothing to do with the masses" and so not much change can be expected there. Oh what a battle anyone enlightened of mind has in front of him to just keep himself and family trying to tread the correct and healthy path, the outside influences are so strong.

This is of course why so many want to opt out, away from the corrupting influences. Sometimes that can be very good, but on the whole there is not enough money, or knowledge, or self-balance and discipline to make a good influence of it. Kept within that isolated community, the beneficial influences at least help those peoples; but how far can they spread it without - only to those who wish to hear, and how many of those would be in constant contact and communication with the communes? If they take too many "beginners" within their community there is a risk of contamination, unrest, divisiveness and so on. So, on the whole, (aside from the Findhorns and like magni-communes) people are better off to remain in their places within the cities and to be an example (i.e., a living teaching), joining with other like-minded persons to extend their own learning and to gain strength from their mutual goals.

Most little groups will never become well-known but that is not their purpose, they are there for all the ordinary people, especially the ones without much finance, or much to spare; the groups educate them, strengthen and heal them, so that they can in turn be, hopefully, "living teachings". So all of you must forge on, we on the other side don't see any one of your groups as unimportant or insignificant; to us they are very much the opposite, and we are doing all we can to pour encouragement into each meeting place to strengthen those vibrations. Remember always, as Cheame wishes us to say to you, someone of us is there, helping as we can. You are all needed, no matter how many or how few, it is the spirit that counts. You radiate healing energies to the rooms you meet in, to wherever you go in right spirit and attitude of mind and heart. When each group stabilises more people are attracted, some for healing, some to remain, all happens as it is meant to happen. (1.8.85)

Each person who enters into communication with themselves and with higher Beings, entities, etc., whether they are alone or in groups, should always prepare themselves first. You can sit alone for a few quiet moments before joining the group, or the group can sit in a conscious state of preparing for the sessions, each in his/her own way, quietening and readying oneself. It takes a few moments only but is extremely important as a means of preparing the way, as one tidies oneself and surroundings when preparing to sit down with guests (visitors). This will go towards building the proper vibrations for the meeting time - the fountain meditation is good, of course, but where is that few moments of meditation for your own room and group members. The rule of the universe is to ready oneself, make oneself whole before expending energies outwards. Not to do so can leave one vulnerable; "charity begins at home" simply means to help thyself so that you will always have the strength to give help to others in need, or you will end up in need yourself. (One does not deliberately fetch water in a leaky container).

All of these meetings are important as they raise the vibrations which are needed by the entities to carry on the healing work, of the people and the Earth. It is important, however, to remember that the work will seem slow and steady because vibrations take time to create the proper atmosphere for work. Many areas such as yours are used at other times for more mundane purposes by many who are not even aware of our work. This lowers the energy in that room, it is not a bad thing because you are in that way feeding them. But you must prepare the room for yourselves and prepare yourselves as well ,and then you will notice an improvement in the atmosphere. (7.3.85)

You need to protect yourselves when sitting in groups for meditation, learning, etc., as these groups always attract troubled (in some cases, malicious)spirits. The vibrations attract, so you must always pray and use the protections you have learned about. (21.2.71)

Tomorrow and tomorrow are lines that humans use too lightly - how many tomorrows are there for you? The way is such a joyous one for the true followers, in spite of the troubles and trials presented by life. Everyone experiences problems and grief of some sort, but when they are met and conquered how the sun shines upon the soul. Who else can experience the sheer wholeness with the universe, his fellowman, and with God but those who have toiled in His name, and won through. His name may be Allah or Buddha or the Earth Spirit or whatever, His name rings the same vibratory notes, shimmers the same vibratory colours; the cosmos hears and glories with those of you who have worked and worshipped. Oh yes, the bells of Heaven sound glorious visible chimes and we all give thanks to those who have seen and produced the rewards of their efforts. You have felt the joys at times, think how deeper they could be experienced within you as you grew.

Permit us the privilege of speaking to you all, to say that there is power within the group, wonderful healing vibrations and such a lot of growth. Continue along this path and there can be only development within you all, centres opened and knowledge released to you - to all of you. There are no problems with you and there are more and more entities and devas being attracted to your light. But you must keep your personal growth continuing especially over the next three or four months. There is a cohesiveness there that is very precious, and hard won by your efforts. You are all very important within that group sphere, the right balance has been struck, and none can feel that their presence or efforts are any less than anyone else's, you are a group, God bless you all. (28.11.85)

Within your group it should be understood that the rising vibrations and power can and likely will touch and trigger off dormant un-eases (not diseases, but some may find it seems so). This is as it should be, for when the vibrations permeate they activate, if the answering vibration does not blend harmoniously then it needs to be looked at and dealt with if you wish to retain the raised consciousness. Do not be concerned, it is no more than your cleaning through, whether it be your house, your heart, or your body, the dross or misconceptions of the years are there to be dislodged, scrubbed up or washed away. From now on as you work you will find the necessity to look to yourselves as well, for the world without, and our own human-ness, brings often discord, discontent, or a weakening of strength and purpose. Each problem dealt with makes us all the stronger, so the discords can be looked at as an opportunity to add to our strength of mind and our awareness of that landscape within us, which is an echo, a "mirror faint distorted", of heaven. God bless you all. (1.12.85)
