SILVER MOON ON TIME - POSTSCRIPT BY VERNA
6.9.90
Meditation.
Imagine you are in a narrow little lane with hedges on each side. Look
at the countryside. It is wintertime and everything is covered with a
layer of snow which is shining and glittering in the weak winter sun.
See the icicles in the hedges at the side of the lane, and the shallow
pools crackle as you step on them because they are covered with thin
ice. Feel the air, crisp and cool, everything is sharp and clear. As
you walk along, the road is gently sloping upwards. Somewhere near by
you can hear a waterfall, and you can see a small river which becomes a
waterfall. Hear the sound of the water dropping. As you walk towards
it you realise that it isn't snow at all, it's fine crystals. As the
water falls over the edge of the waterfall, it, too, becomes small
shining crystals. As you stand there, notice that as the crystals land
they are sending up a shower of sparks of golden light, and you are
gradually immersed in the shower of golden light. You are surrounded
by its peace and by its light. A safe cocoon of peace and light. As
the cocoon changes it, too, is a crystal, and you are in the centre of
this crystal, but it is really the safe secret inner deep spot within
yourself. Now the crystal has expanded and inside it, with you, you
can see your guides. Greet each one of them. For a few moments I will
leave you to talk with them. (Pause) Your guides have left your
crystal now, but they are still with you, outside your crystal. The
crystal is moving upwards like a lift, bringing you back to your brain
and the consciousness of this world. Bring with you the peace that you
have experienced and the information which your guides have given you.
It may not be in your conscious mind but it will certainly be there
somewhere. Take two or three deep breaths and wake again to this
world, to this room.
Verna:
I bid you good evening. Allow me to introduce myself to our visitor.
My name is Verna and when I was in your material world, I lived in
Sweden. (She suddenly had difficulty speaking.) I passed over when I
was 18, when the horse drawing my sleigh bolted in a snow storm. I
have been over here about a 100 years. As part of my development I am
looking after the organisation of this circle. I wish to thank you for
coming tonight.
(She bent over. I felt the energy increasing but did not understand
what was happening.)
Silver Moon.
I bring you greetings. It is sometime since I have spoken with you and
I wish to bring you much tonight. I will greet our visitor. My name
is Silver Moon. When I was in your world I was a member of the Ojibway
Tribe in the land you now call America.
There is much energy building up here tonight. I see it in the centre
as one of my camp-fires. And there is smoke drifting upwards taking
with it our prayers and supplications to the Great White Spirit; to the
great Spirit who formed the earth out of the chaos; to the Spirit who
gave us all good things; to the Spirit that is permeating the world
today.
There has been much change in the world since my time. The condition
of my peoples has changed. One Spirit has given way to a different
manifestation of that spirit, and one day, that spirit too, will give
way to a different spirit. For always there is change in your world.
Change and development. As the people in your earth move and mix, so
they create a different type of person. There are physical
characteristics that change, and there are also mental and spiritual
characteristics that change. And, there is a large change coming in
your world. To us it is building up and forming quickly, but to you it
will be a slow, gradual change, and it will be more than a hundred
years before you can really notice the difference. To us time is
different.
There was hardly time for me when I was in your world. Our time was
the day and the night and the seasons. You have added, morning,
afternoon, evening; you have added hours and minutes and seconds and
fractions of seconds; and fractions of fractions of seconds. You
measure so precisely something that does not exist. It exists only in
so much as you have instruments with which to measure it.
And you rule your life by it. And, because of the type of society in
which you are, you will continue to rule your life by it. But we ask
you to be aware of this process. Allow this process to be only in your
outer, social, life. Let the 'within you' be free of this thing you
call time. It surely brings you freedom if you can live within the
timeless state. The timelessness which you will experience when you
come over here.
Truly it was said: A thousand years in your sight is but an evening
gone. To you it may be a thousand years, but to us it is barely an
evening gone, and so we can perceive the changes occurring. To us they
seem rapid, to you they seem slow.
Make contact with the soul within you, it is not really separate from
you although to night I speak as though it is. As we have explained
before, it depends on where the window is focussed. To change the
focus of the window of your consciousness you will actually have to
LEARN to focus it on your daily life. Think of a new-born baby, to
that babe time does not exist. It becomes aware of inner sensations
and cries. That is all there is for that babe. You have to teach the
babe about time. Time goes much more slowly for your little children
than it does for you. Is it not so when you think back, how long a
year used to seem to you and now, how quickly does it go? This is
because you have been taught, you have developed the concept of time,
of scheduling your life. You even feel quick disturbed and restless
when you no longer have to schedule your life to that time. You become
so used to it. You can pack so much into it.
To those who are lucky enough to live to an old age, time again
gradually slips away from them because they are preparing to come over
here. You often talk about your elderly becoming disorientated in
time, they spend their time in their childhood again - they re-live
their childhood. They remember it, they work through a lot of things
in that state, so that when they come over here, sometimes they have
already finished their life review. Sometimes of course, they have
only got part way through it. Some of them will have a chance to
remember those old hurts, to have dealt with them, to have forgiven
them and let them go away. And so that is one little bit less of the
psychological baggage which you bring over here.
Lucky are they who have some one to listen to what you term their
ramblings. Someone who will listen and be interested in what they are
hearing. Lucky are they who have the interesting pleasant memories to
pass on. Lucky also are those who have got the hurts to get rid off,
they have the opportunity to get rid of them. Some of them are lucky
enough, indeed, to see and talk with those who have gone on before
them. Again, they are often described as wandering, or rambling, or
being confused. They ARE NOT. They are preparing for their
transition. They are being given information, explanations that will
help them with their transition over here.
If you have the opportunity to know someone like this, do talk with
them about what they are seeing, about what they are hearing, and
accept it. You will bring great comfort to these people doing this.
Just to have someone else accepting and understanding what is happening
to them.
So now, you may be asking me: How can I develop this timelessness when
I am in a society where the time is ruled and measured so precisely and
so consistently. Start off, by spending a short period each day in
which you can be still, at peace and in a timeless state. Feel the
relaxation that comes in that state - that state in which you know that
nothing REALLY matters. Feel it as a period of refreshment, of
re-charging your mental batteries, and when you go about your daily
life try to carry that feeling, that attitude with you. Carry that
timeless attitude with you. Naturally, you will forget, it will not
last very long - that doesn't matter, this is only the first step - it
will gradually increase and lengthen if you will but remind yourself of
it. It doesn't matter how fleeting the memory. It is better to have
temporary reminders than no reminders at all. Carry something which
might remind you during the day. Can you arrange some sort of a sign
which, when you see it, will remind you to be timeless. This has to be
brought about by you - perhaps a knotted handkerchief in your pocket,
when you put your hand in your pocket you will feel the knotted
handkerchief and that will remind you to be timeless. Arrange
something like that and every now and again, change it. Otherwise you
will become too used to it.
As with time, so there is with space. When you are in our world not
only are you in a timeless state, you are also in a spaceless state.
You can - you will - reach a state where you can see the whole of the
universe. You can reach a state where you can see the minutest atom,
and you will realise they are not there anyway, but never mind that.
It is an experience of consciousness throughout the universe -
throughout the creation. And that state I cannot describe to you. I
cannot suggest ways in which you can experience it. But I will promise
you this, that one day you will experience it. It is impossible for
you NOT to experience it, sometime.
(Pause)
Verna came through again:
I hope you enjoyed that talk. He didn't give me chance to introduce
him. It was such a tremendous amount of energy building up tonight and
he was just carried along with it and into the medium. I don't know
whether there was much in that that I hadn't really realised myself. It
drew my attention to things that were happening, that I was
experiencing myself, but I did not realise.
I wonder if any of you have any questions.
Doreen: He talked about finding your inner self or talking to your
inner self. Does that come gradually? I am not quite sure what he
means.
Verna: It's - just a moment I have to check out myself. In the
material world you only use a part of your consciousness - I am trying
not to say mind because mind is really just the physical brain and a
little bit beyond it. But for you the self is much bigger than that,
and has a much wider range of what we can experience. You know, in
your world you can only hear sounds within a limited range of
frequencies, and dogs can hear a much wider range of frequencies than
humans. It is something like that. There is much more existing than
you can see or experience if you have to focus on a narrow band. So,
if you can go within you can expand the band of that consciousness, of
that experience. Some people, even while they are still in the
material world can expand that band very widely. It does take some
practice.
Guy: Silver Moon said that a change is coming in our world which will
be gradual for us, and the difference will be seen about a hundred
years from now - we won't be here any more. Can you elaborate what you
can see the change to be? What would be the major features of that
change?
Verna: Many things will change - the physical appearance of people;
there is going to be a change in consciousness, but it is as difficult
for me to explain it to you as it would be for you to explain to one of
your prehistoric ancestors the change of your consciousness that would
be in, say, compared to Roman times. It involves concepts that you do
not yet have. There are things which I do not yet know myself. I can
only tell you that the change is coming.
Guy: For better or worse?
Verna: For better, for worse, what's the difference? For the sameness.
Guy: The game will go on?
Verna: Oh, yes. The group of souls that are mainly manifesting in your
earth at the moment will be moving on, and a different set will come
through.
Guy: Less attached to material possessions than we are?
Verna: The material circumstances will be very much different. Whether
it is the attachment or non-attachment is difficult to say. They will
have different concerns. Just as today you have concerns with your
technology that would have been inconceivable two hundred years ago.
So their concerns will be things that are inconceivable to you now.
But since you won't be there, what does it matter?
Guy: Curiosity, just curiosity.
Verna: Be curious about the things that can help you.
Guy: Do our children and grandchildren whom we already know to some
extent, represent part of that change already?
Verna: The grand-children are some of the precursors.
Guy: Yes, I can see some of their concerns - sitting in front of the TV
all day long.
Verna: Did someone's mother ever complain about the books he was
constantly reading?
Guy: Yes. Yes.
Verna: So did this medium's.
Sheila: Books can be good, but there is not much good on TV.
Verna: Everything has its good and its bad points. There are negative
aspects of your technology but there are also some positive ones.
Guy: I am interested in time, I am currently attending lectures about
it. Last week's lecture was attended by scientists and mathematicians.
They now accept, in theory, in physics, that it would be possible to
travel backwards in time - something like Dr. Who. The Theoretical
possibility of that exists, possibly also forward in time. In other
words, time, as such, doesn't exist as we see it. So, some of us
already understand it.
Verna: Or think you do.
Guy: Well, we can't grasp it, but we understand it mathematically.
Verna: It will be possible one day to have a machine that will show you
the past. The future is another matter.
Guy: The theory that we are talking about admits only the possibility
of going back in the past, not in future. We actually discussed how
such a machine could be built.
Verna: First will come one to show you the past. Then there will be
one to take you back, but you will not be able to leave it. You will
have to observe from the machine.
Guy: You must stay in the machine?
Verna: Yes.
Guy: If Dr. Who goes back in time in his Tardis and meets his own
mother in the time before he was born, and he is very wicked and he
kills his mother. That means he never could be born. It means he
couldn't be there but he is. Now how do you explain that.
Verna: He won't be able to, because he will be unable to leave his
machine.
Guy: So he couldn't actually enter the past? You couldn't alter the
past by going back into it?
Verna: No. He will be an observer.
Guy: Well, the answer that has been given to that question would be this:
Yes, Dr. Who could do that and kill his mother, but then there
would be an alternative universe where he could not be born. How's
that for a conundrum?
Verna: All things are possible. Are you not guilty of wasting time?
Perhaps it is time to draw tonight's session to a close. Unless
there is something else you would like to ask?
Guy: One more question. There is a concept which we speak about, the
'eternal now'. Where there is no past, present or future, where
everything, past, present and future is now. That is, the state the
mystics claim to have. From you point of view can you say something
about it?
Verna: It is very easy to attain that state. You have only to pass
over.
Guy: Is that the kind of state you are in?
Verna: Basically, yes. Because I am associated with this medium, I get
some contact with the material world, and so I am conscious of the
material world, past, present and future. But when I am not in contact
with this medium, then my state could be described as the eternal now.
But I am aware of this. Many people when they come over here are not
aware of this. And so they will still think, still thinking in
material world terms, that they have been over here for a few hours
when in fact they have been over here a hundred years or more. But it
is having the concept and the realisation of that eternal now. It is
basically the state you are in when you come over here, but you have to
realise it. And those who are approaching their merging back to
Godness, of course, experience this state much more clearly than I do.
But merely by coming over here you will see.
Guy: You make dying sound really attractive, don't you?
(General laughter)
Verna: There is no death. So I think I will leave you tonight. My
good wishes, I hope I will see you again.
