One Flesh and the Karmic Circle of Influence
Lecture based Questions:
1. Draw or describe a reminder or symbol of one of your helpers.
Go ahead and pick someone who has guided you through a crossroads. Or, someone who is always rooting for your team! Rah! rah!
2. What is the meaning of the term One Flesh?
When a man and woman take vows of faithfulness and commitment to each other, an astral contract takes place. Their auras bear a seal of marriage archetype. Cables of union tie them at the Mental, Astral, and Etheric bodies.
A similar contract and connection occur between parents and children. The seal of marriage is absent, but the cables are strong and active. An archetype of family shines in the aura of each family member.
The Etheric bodies actually interlock, which correlates with the old Hebrew term of One Flesh. This is good for the astral contract, but can create the environment for some misunderstandings.
Although there is a contract of commitment, there is no guarantee of telepathic or empathetic understanding. In fact, the challenge of the game is usually to penetrate differences in values and perception.
3. Who would you consider to be members of your own Karmic Circle?
Blood relations, marriage partners, and close friends. You can also include pets.
4. What occurs on the Mental, Astral, and Etheric levels with these relationships?
Harmonious loved ones are always in contact with each other in the Astral and Mental worlds. We have already mentioned that marriage partners and children have Etheric interlockings. Family members who are at odds with each other do not interact with each other in the Mental World.
The Astral cables that tie them can possibly be nasty looking. It is recommended that cutting all cables every day can balance one’s sense of energy and well-being. Negative cables can suck energy from you.
Casual sex is the same as committed sex, in that the interchange creates Etheric interlocking for about the space of three months. Thus, we recommend that sexual encounters be carefully selected.
5. How do we become connected to each other?
Cables occur when one person feels strongly about another person. The cables extend out from the Solar Plexus Chakra and attaches randomly to the aura of the target person. Actually the point of attachment usually corresponds to the body part that the cable-er relates most to.
Etheric interlocking, as we have mentioned before, occurs in parents and children due to their genetic closeness. This also applies to siblings. The interlocking of blood relations lasts for life. In sexual relationships, the fixation and interaction generate the enmeshing of Etheric bodies. After about 90 days, the effects wear thin and disappear.
6. Are these relationships related to soul tribes?
Yes. We are eternally bound and drawn to the other members of our own Soul Clan. Usually, we interact emotionally with only these people, but as we gain maturity in our many lifetimes, we become increasingly inclusive of other people.
7. When should we include our loved ones in our spiritual work?
We can pray and affirm for our loved ones as though it were for ourselves—unless someone forbids us.
8. How can we best help them?
The best that we can do for anybody is to picture them in our hearts as successful, happy, surrounded by love, well-supplied, and healthy. It is easier for us to belief in the success of others than it is for ourselves, because our own neuroses tend to obstruct us. However, our loving good wishes and faith in the blessings of our loved ones is a powerful gift for them.
Try it! You will be amazed at how quickly the lives of your friends and family respond to your affirmations and positive thoughts.
9. Should we feel attached to their success?
No and yes. A blessing for one person is a blessing for all people in the universe. We are all wonderfully connected in the Network of Light. On the other hand, your focus should always foremost be on your own plate. Nobody else can take care of your business like you can! Your partnership with your Guardian Angel is your first step to a happy and successful life.
So rejoice in the blessings of anyone and know that their happiness reflects in your own life like a beautiful rainbow of wonder and benefit.
10. Why should we do spiritual work for our loved ones?
Within our Soul Clan, there come points of spiritual evolution wherein we become responsible for the lifting up of each other. As a team, we all reach the next level of Initiation. As a family, we ascend to the increasingly beautiful heights of consciousness and wisdom.
Also, our good wishes and prayers create excellent chi for the universe and excellent karma for the well-wisher. In a way there is no purely altruistic act. For every good thing and thought bounces back to us, three times three [the karmic equation].
11. Meditation Exercise: White Lotus, Rose Lotus, Gold Lotus
Maintaining harmonious relationships is one of the greater tasks of every lifetime. We can utilize a variety of tools to effect this aim.
• Floating on the surface of a quiet pond, you are a small flower with your face to the sun.
• At the center of your bloom is a diamond, sparkling and shimmering in the sunlight. It radiates needles of rainbow colored light upward and out into the day. It sings a song of simple peace, affection for the pond, and gladness in life.
• You become aware that there are other flowers floating beside you in the pond. They also have singing diamonds at their centers. Together you are creating a symphony of harmonious and delicately beautiful music.
• Flying in the air above you are wonderful creatures of Light. They dance to the music that you and your fellow flowers are making.
• A gardener picks you out of the pond. At first you are afraid and lonely, but then you realize that you can see the pond and the other flowers. They are delightfully different in size, color, and arrangement on the pond. You had thought there were only a few flowers near you, but now you can see that the pond is a vast sea of clear water and that the number of splendid flowers is in the millions.
• The gardener replants you in the pond where you have more room. You enjoy your new home and you are still amazed at the sight of an endless sea of exquisite lotus flowers floating and singing to each other and the air beings.

Home Is Whom the Heart Loves
At the dawn of our human experience, we begin to create intricate and passionate interactions with the members of our Soulic tribe. These ties continue throughout our lifetimes and initiations. We love, hate, kill, marry, parent, befriend, betray, support, and bless each other over and over again. Our tribe or clan rises together in a generally consistent trend. The initial few who brake into the First Degree of Initiation are later joined by the remaining members of the group. Although we become more independent as we mature spiritually, we still recognize each other, prefer our companionship, and spend time together during and between incarnations. We even attend school together in the Halls of Learning. Even when we become Masters and teachers, our spiritual siblings are beside us with their own classrooms and protégées. There are only two relationships stronger than these clan bonds. Those are the Biune soul opposite and the Guardian Angel.
These are the members of our greater karmic circle. However, during your present incarnation, you have a smaller karmic circle, which is all you need to keep as the focus of your concerns. We share emotional contracts with blood relatives, close buddies, enemies, and pets. These are the members of a person’s karmic circle, and should be prayed for and affirmed for as though they were oneself. The guidelines for self remain the same for these.
•Attachment to successful outcome signifies lack of faith and should not be indulged. Despite appearances, always expect the highest good without specifying what the details should be.
•Pray daily for the Divine Design to manifest and gives thanks ahead of time for each fulfilled desire [as long as it leaves other people’s free will alone]. As above, so below, God gave you the thought and God makes it so.
•Affirm frequently for the way things should be for yourself [one issue at a time] and for the way your loved ones have expressed their ideals.
•Say, “God bless ____________” or “God blesses _____________ beyond his/her wildest dreams all the time, every day.” whenever someone comes to mind.
•Avoid wasting physical energy and personal power as a fearful reaction to circumstances and emotional stimuli. Always respond to these situations with affirmation, active faith, and expectation of unimaginable success. This is different from doing favors for each other or giving reasonable help when asked, which create excellent chi and imbue personal power on both parties.
The fact that each Soulic tribe has representatives from every Ray gives us a clue that we are to learn strength and wisdom from each other. Our differences create a palate of experience and talent from which all the members of our clan may benefit. It is like the human body, with its specialized organs, systems, cells, and chemicals that all work cohesively to make a successful organism. The more blessings we wish for each member of our tribe, the greater the benefit to the whole group.
Each of the different Soul Rays has a unique contribution to the wisdom of the heart. As we pass through the seven Sub-Rays in the quest for harmony and balance, we accumulate certain skills and attitudes that increase our capacity for love, connectedness, expression, and kindness.
•First Ray teaches us how to protect ourselves from people who leech away our energy.
•Second Ray teaches us the meaning of loyalty and small gestures.
•Third Ray teaches us to accept people as they are.
•Fourth Ray teaches us to be cuddly and playful.
•Fifth Ray teaches us when to cut our losses and be comfortable alone.
•Sixth Ray teaches us how to be attractive to others.
•Seventh Ray teaches us to honor rites of passage and symbolism in our emotional lives and in the lives of others.
Most of us wander through life searching for a specific someone—a mate or a parent figure—who will make us feel safe, complete, accepted, trusting, and hopeful. The quest becomes a lifelong habit for some, although they are surrounded by loved ones who could contribute strength, balance, and deep feelings. We eventually understand that the people we attract are direct reflections of our own qualities of consciousness. Such an enlightenment gives rise to beautiful feelings, the ability to nurture ourselves, find loving relationships beneath all surfaces, and manifest our own fulfillment.
Guides and teachers can only share what information we have capacity to comprehend. Let us daily pray for enlightenment and guidance.

The world can seem tiny and tight
Or vast and great
Depending on my focus of observation.
My heart can feel tiny and tight
Or vast and great
Depending on my focus of observation.
I am a mountain loving the valley.
I am an ocean loving the river.
I am a sky loving the wind.
