In Tobias’ last lifetime, he strictly abided by the oral tradition of the Torah,
a long list of “God’s Laws.” Tobias figured that by following the Torah to the
letter, God would show him mercy and favor. At great risk to his own life, he
broke Babylonian law and buried the bodies of Jews that had been killed by
soldiers and left in the streets for all to see, because the Torah said that the
dead should be buried as soon as possible, ideally before sundown. Although
Tobias adhered to the Torah with reverence, in his last lifetime he found him-
self imprisoned due a land dispute with his neighbor. Feeling that God had
forsaken him, Tobias finally rejected all of God’s Laws and when he did, he
freed himself for his ultimate enlightenment just days before his death. Even
though he died in prison, he was free in spirit, because he realized that the
laws were not his. He also realized that God has no laws.
So how do you run an organization like Crimson Circle without rules? The
way I see it, we have inside rules and outside rules. As a U.S. corporation, we
have to abide by tons of rules. We have taxes that need to be paid, laws that
have to be adhered to, bills that have to be taken care of, human resource
rules to be followed, contracts for Internet services, a lease on the studio with
12 pages of rules, and the list goes on ad infinitum. As “rule-bellious” as we
might be, we still have to follow the external rules and laws in order to keep
the shingle over the door (i.e. stay in business).
There aren’t a lot of internal rules for the 15 members of the Crimson Circle
staff, although we had to create a Human Resources manual for legal and
insurance reasons. I don’t think anyone has ever read it, or even knows where
it is. Our simple internal rules are:
2. Raise your hand if you get in over your head. In other words, let us
know if you need a hand. Don’t try to burden a heavy workload or
problem on your own shoulders.
3. Take time off if you’re in overwhelm. Our work is very intense most
of the time, and it’s important to take care yourself.
And now, let’s talk about Rules for Shaumbra. Considering that there are
over 30,000 active Shaumbra around the world (and many more casual par-
ticipants), surprisingly we don’t have many rules. There is no membership,
no dues, no tithing, no levels to attain, no required courses*, and no funny
handshakes or cult-couture. About 80% of the content is free of charge.
Outsiders have a hard time understanding how we can possibly operate the
organization without some or all of these things. But somehow, it all works
out. We have a few simple rules:
1. You have to take the Sexual Energies School (SES) if you want to
participate in live workshops hosted by Linda and me, or Threshold
Online. It was actually the workshop attendees who nearly insisted
on the SES prerequisite. The workshops are deep and intense, and
SES grads felt that the non-SES folks distracted from the workshop
energy. Over the years we’ve found this to be very true, so if you
want to attend most live events you need to take SES beforehand.
For Threshold Online, nearly everyone agrees that it would be
overwhelming if you haven’t taken SES.
3. And now the big one. This rule has caused more anxiety and argu-
ments than anything else for the past 20 years: If you want to
post a meme, video link or graphic on the official Crimson Circle
Facebook page, you have to include a 25+ word description to
explain the relevancy. Seriously, this has become a huge issue. The

Shaumbra is at the forefront of understanding the relationship between con-
sciousness and energy. At this gathering Adamus will go in depth into the
physics and psychology of how to put energy to work in your life, in a practical
and useful manner. This will be one of many Shaumbra groups to explore the
intimacy and sensuality of their own energy, and how to
let it serve your true desires and creations.

Our journey of eons and lifetimes – coming through the template of the Order of the Arc, embed-
ding ourselves into matter and stumbling through the deepest and darkest experiences – must
eventually culminate in Realization. Although it is nothing that the human can accomplish, the soul’s
enlightenment is inevitable.
The human’s only duty is to experience and allow the awareness of the I Am. Aided by the drag-
on, the Master visits every moment of every lifetime, collecting the wisdom until Merlin emerges,
unbound by time and therefore truly free. As the human turns to face its timeless Self, another
Ascended Master appears.
Full of laughter, inspiration, sneak peeks, deep merabhs and profound messages, this is an expe-
rience you will never forget. It marks the culmination of our journey, the end of an era and the birth
of a new and timeless time.

INVEST
IN OUR FUTURE
16 SHAUMBRA™ MAGAZINE 1020
T
echnology is not an area that I do (or did) with any kind of grace or
ease. In fact, I struggle with it. And I will be the first to admit that my
children find this trait of mine to be annoying and excruciatingly
painful. (They are right, I am.) Even my ever-patient tech-savvy son Zach
has to take an audible breath before he calmly walks me through what-
ever technological issue I am having, but his calm and patience usually
sees me over the line.
Now Adamas has suggested that we invest. Okay, that part is not a
problem. I don’t have any blocks in that area, but I have (or had) a hell-
ishly large block when it comes to technology and tech language. As
soon as I hear or read the jargon, I just want to go to sleep, as if nothing
in my brain will connect to the information.
By Leigh Bisset
So here I am, excited and pumped and ready to play with cryptos, but
hobbled from the start because I keep zoning out at the mere thought
of figuring out how to begin.
I may not be a tech wiz, but I do have other wizardly talents, I know enough
to know that if I am not careful, I could let my block be the reason for me to
not proceed forward. And I know the way forward on this occasion has to do
with the way I handle or view transactions, i.e. exchanging energy.
I acknowledged that I have a block and its name is resistance. With tech I
might be shite, but energy I can do, so let’s get on with it and ditch this block!
You know how it feels when you over-eat something that doesn’t agree with
your body? Porridge doesn’t agree with me. I feel slow, thick-headed, have
poor judgement and find it difficult to concentrate. I have no motivation or
zest for life because I am so over-filled with the crap that I just consumed. I
have no joy or spark of life; what the hell is that anyway, and how
could it possibly exist when I feel this way? (Leigh says
in a quiet voice, “It can’t.”)
Diving deeper into the feeling, I can see and acknowledge that I have
handed the responsibility of my money (energy) over to a third party, in this
case the bank. I have not taken ownership of my own energy. Rather, I have
knowingly handed my power over to an authority that is not my own, because
I do not want to take responsibility for my own energy.
If I stay where I am, I can blame, accuse and dislike the current banking
system to my heart’s content. But the reality is that I am using it as an excuse
to remain a victim instead of being sovereign. I can continue to hide behind
my fears and even play dead if I want to, but I can’t undo what I know to
be the truth.
I fast forward and feel into my future, for it is where I have actively and con-
sciously invested. I feel it all, answers just come to me. When I invest, I am not
doing so with the expectation of receiving a particular dollar value return. I am
investing for the sole and express purpose of investing into me.
Here, in the “future,” I am released from the fears and worries that once
plagued my old life because I already know that I am secure. Fear and worry
are not even a consideration. They don’t exist, such is the level of trust I have
with my own energy.
Everything here is clear. I feel completely toxin free (porridge free). The tox-
ins are thoughts, feelings and beliefs that didn’t serve me the way that I am
worthy of being served. Toxins are anything that doesn’t bring me joy.
I can see that if I enter the investing space with feelings of fear, tightness,
restriction and being frugal, my energy will bring back to me experiences of
loss and limitedness. In other words, if I enter the investing space with the
energy of lack, my energy will support what I have asked for and bring me
more experiences of lack.
The energy dynamics of all of this are so incredibly simple, it’s beautiful.
I can see why Adamus has suggested that we invest (he is so damn clever)!
He’s not asking us to do it to get rich; that is far too limiting. He is prompting,
motivating and pushing us toward something far grander than mere wealth.
He has found yet another brilliant way to help us break through our barri-
ers; to help us understand that everything is our energy! And bless his little
Fabergé socks, it works!!
How? By asking us to take responsibility for our money, because it’s not
bloody money, it’s just energy! (I’m a bit excited by the parallels here, so for-
give me if I babble.)
for any perceived losses, “hard done by’s” or anything of the like. Everything
that I put into this new way of exchange and how we do transactions is just
me, and I really like the solidity of how that feels.
I adore what Adamus has set up for us. For myself, I see moving forward
with the times and participating in the new form of exchange as an exciting
opportunity to release any residue victim mentality.
And the sweet spot in all of this is that I am literally reimagining my life.
That means I am recreating my now (the past), because I have connected to
and am fully in love with my future. I already know that my future has little
resemblance to this now and THAT is what is going to affect change in my
now! I am ecstatic for the future and, for the first time in my life, I am con-
nected to true joy.

ber of years. She lives in Perth, WA and enjoys anything that is related to

think in pictures, and sometimes finally “seeing” how something works really
helps me grasp it at a new level. Thanks to St. Germain, I recently got an
image of what we’re actually doing as we come to realize our Realization;
maybe it will prove useful to you as well.
I truly hope you had the opportunity to participate in the recent Passion of
the Merlin event. (If not, you still can, the Cloud Class will be available indefi-
nitely.) It seems like everything is epic these days, but there was something about
this event that was really epic. Maybe because it was just two weeks after the
very epic Threshold workshop. Maybe it was the topper of this epic “Summer
of Realization.” Or maybe it’s just the latest thing in this epically crazy 2020.
Whatever it was, Passion of the Merlin felt like a turning point for Shaumbra, par-
ticularly the final time-twisting message from Beloved St. Germain. (Did anybody
else feel like his 24-minute message lasted 2 hours – but in a good way?) He
brought it all together, saying nothing we haven’t heard before yet, everything
felt completely new. And “someone” (thank you Self) made sure I did not miss it.
St. Germain talked a bit about what we’re doing, and then turned his atten-
tion directly to the human, inviting it to become aware of its own soul and the
enlightenment of the I Am. Then he called upon the soul to turn and face the
human, to finally understand what the human has endured – the burdens and
fears, being lost and stuck, suffering in darkness and anguish – and to never
again ask such things of this precious human self. It is finally time for soul and
human to face each other and come back together. (My short description
cannot do this message justice; you really need to experience it for yourself.)
Imagine it’s a beautiful crisp fall day and you’re out on a hike enjoying
nature. At some point you come across a small lake or pond that’s frozen over.
While everything around you is pristine and gorgeous, you are overcome with
curiosity and a desire to find out what’s under the ice. So, you make a hole in
the brittle surface and reach in. At first, it takes a lot of determination to keep
your hand in the freezing environment, but you really want to explore this, so
you take some deep breaths and slowly get used to it. Your hand begins feel-
ing around in the murky depths, reaching for treasure, exploring the unknown,
wanting to understand and experience it all.
Over time your hand goes numb, both from the cold and also from the
prolonged reaching, always deeper and further. Since this is an imaginary sce-
nario, your hand can reach all the way to the deepest parts, exploring every
nook and cranny. Sometimes your hand bumps into a rock or even gets bitten
by something unseen; sometimes it meets another hand and grasps on in
longing and recognition. Perhaps your hand, feeling so far away and separate
from you, even falls in love with another exploring hand and finds it hard to
let go. But the whole time you can’t really feel what it’s going through. Your
Here we are, human “hands” trying to get it right – find the right stuff, figure
out the right solutions, come up with the right answers – and all along the
Master “arm” has been pulling us home, back to the awareness of the I Am
Self. And with this action, the I Am is perking up with new interest in what’s
going on. No longer just staring into the distance admiring the lovely day, I
Am curious now to see what wonders my hand is bringing back to share. For
Me, it’s been only a few moments, but I Am realizing that, for my hand, it has
seemed like an eternity. It’s cold, pickled, tired and worn, but it’s still my hand,
The other thing is that I, the soul – the originator and sender of
the hand into the pond – need to welcome it back into MY reality.
It’s bringing all the treasures, stories and wisdom from this time of
exploration, but it’s me who sent it, and now I need to take care of
it, dry it off, thaw it out, warm it up and let it feel my gentle breath
once again. That’s all it needs. It’s time for Me to talk to my hand,
my precious human self who’s gone through so, so much on my
behalf, and remind her she’s finally coming home.
That night, I had a very strange dream that clarified one more piece of the
puzzle. It was one of those super vivid dreams that stays with you for a while,
and it gave me a priceless visceral understanding. (Apologies in advance if it’s
a little too graphic.) The dream was set during some ambiguous time centu-
ries ago where I had been convicted of something and sentenced death by
to crucifixion. (I know, “Eeew!!”) I was brought to the place where it would
happen and allowed to make a statement to the few dozen people who
had gathered to watch. Spreading my arms wide with passion, I made some
grand, inspiring statement, and then cooperatively submitted to the proce-
dure. I still clearly remember the experience of spikes being pushed through
my limbs, being hoisted up and struggling to breath. In fact, I woke up just as
my dream-body was gasping in suffocation.
Now, here’s the interesting thing. While I remember the physical sensations
of what happened, I did not experience the pain. Pondering that for a bit, I
realized it’s exactly like the difference between human and soul. Human can
go through excruciating horror, fear, pain and loneliness, but the soul experi-
ences it like a dream, calmly observing yet another weird thing that its human
is doing. My “real life” self thinks back on that dream, bemused at the strange
events, but with no direct knowledge of the agony endured. It’s not that I
don’t care; it’s that I just don’t feel it.
Now comes the time for the human to open up, to be seen, heard and felt
by the soul, and to accept the inescapable forgiveness. With that openness of
the human, the soul perks up, pays attention, and welcomes itself back home.
Now comes the time for you to release, let go, feel, embrace, hear and
acknowledge all that you are, all you have hidden, all you have hoped for,
all you have lived and all you have lost. It is time to release yourself into
the grandest homecoming you’ll ever know. Nothing was ever wrong, dear
human, and there’s no way for you to make it better. Nothing was ever lost,
dear soul; simply talk to your hand, embrace it in love, and revel in the wisdom
it brings. All that’s left to do is live.
It’s so simple.

SHAUMBRA MAGAZINE: How and when did you find Crimson Circle?
MARY BETH: In March 2009 I met a Shaumbra guy who was interested in
me, and he asked me to listen to a Shoud. So, the first Shoud that I listened
to was Tobias’ “It Doesn’t Matter” and I was completely angry! Which was
awesome, because nothing had moved me for years. I felt the wisdom of it,
but of course, as the human, I thought “How can nothing matter?!” Then, a
week and a half later, I went to my first Shoud in Denver. I remember it vividly
because I flew into a blizzard! I stayed with a local Shaumbra in Coal Creek
Canyon, and it was so snowy that hardly anyone showed up at the Shoud that
month. So, it was an interesting weekend for sure! I literally have never missed
a Shoud since that day.
SM: And you got over being angry about Tobias’ message?
MARY BETH: I actually was thrilled that there was this feeling in me of some-
thing coming up. And then, when I went to the Shoud and met the people
who were there, I absolutely knew “This is my family.” Actually, one of the first
people I met was Sart. He knew that I was new, came and introduced himself,
gave me a huge hug of course, and we were friends ever since.
SM: You were hired very recently as a part-time staff member. What do you
do for Crimson Circle?
MARY BETH: It’s only been three weeks but working for the Crimson Circle
feels a little like trying to catch a speeding train! For me, the wonderful parts
of the job are interacting with people, always. The staff is such a great team,
everybody is just so welcoming and reaching out and able to help; and every-
thing that gets coordinated, we’re all together with it. It just runs so smoothly.
It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before, actually.
So, that’s one part of it, and the other part of it is being able to come up with
creative ideas. Again, I want to translate that welcoming feeling into the world
of Shaumbra and the new people that are absolutely starting to find us, and
I love that. I love being able to reach out and say something to someone or
post something that makes somebody’s day. That’s just really, really fun to me.
SM: Is there anything about the job that you find challenging?
MARY BETH: It never stops! (laughs) I just realized I worked both Saturday
and Sunday again, even though I wasn’t really meant to. There’s just stuff to
do! And I actually don’t mind it, but today I was like, “Okay Mary Beth, take a
few hours and just chill.” It just doesn’t stop, there’s so much work all the time.
And it’s to be expected with so much happening in this Realization season. It’s
fulfilling to do this work and I’m finding my flow with it.
