Sheila and Marcus Gillette & The Teachings of Theo: The Soul Truth
An Interview by Steve Hays

In 1969, Sheila Gillette nearly died from a pulmonary embolism suffered after the birth of her third child. In the months that followed this near-death incident, she began to experience various types of psychic phenomenon and eventually began trance channeling the group of twelve archangels know as THEO. Joined in 1997 by her husband Marcus Gillette, Sheila has been sharing her abilities with radio,television and live audiences throughout the United States and Europe. Sheila and Marcus host “The THEO Group” internet radio show and maintain the multimedia website,AskTHEO.com They live in Colorado. In January they will be in both the San Diego and Los Angeles areas conducting afternoon workshops. See the end of this article and page three for more details.

I found talking with them empowering and their message a positive one—an opportunity for to take. Theinterview begins with Marcus and Sheila, and then later Sheila channels THEO.

Steve Hays: How do you recommend to people that they remain centered and have that soul connection?

Marcus: Obviously meditation would be first; meditation will help to center us. In the process THEO teaches called “soul integration,” it really does take us into a state of wholeness, of being, of integratedness. In that state, we don't tend to be very reactive to things we might otherwise have been reactive to.

Sheila: Yeah, they're great proponents of meditation and also exercise. You know, all the good things that we hear to do for our physical bodies they speak about as well because we need to come into a state of balance—and usually when we're agitated, to move the body is a good modality to calming one's nerves.

What form of meditation does THEO recommend?

Sheila: Many people have asked that; they answered “whatever form is most comfortable for you.”

Marcus: There are a couple of effects that THEO 's meditations seem to have. One is that there's a very specific usage of the language in their guiding us, and there's also kind of a neurological, mystic effect, as far as that goes. There's also kind of a vibrational effect. You know, there's a frequency that Theo tends to impart upon us when we're in their presence, whether it's a question-and-answer session, or a live experience, you know, a public experience. Or just sitting or lying with the guided meditations. It's very
profound.

They also take us into a meditation called soul integration, connecting with angels and spirit guides, multidimensional experiences, all very specifically intended to create a unique experience for the listener.

How do you describe THEO?

Sheila: THEO is 12 archangelic beings that speak directly through me. There's an individual – one spokesman. They said they are a collective of 12 and have never been embodied. They learned the human experience through us, and they're here to teach us about this new evolution of consciousness that's occurring that never before have humans been ready in human body to accept the masters that they are, and they're here to facilitate and assist us in doing that.

How do you describe the times we are going through right now?

Sheila: It's an energetic shift. We're in the fifth dimensionary energy, which is an awareness that people are going to be having multidimensional experiences and are having them. They're wondering what that is. They want to know that it's OK to have these experiences. When I say that humanity hasn't been ready before, it's our consciousness had to be out of state, and the frequency of our evolution or our energetic field had to be at a certain level to be able to experience the miraculous.

Marcus: THEO describes it as like tuning a radio frequency, Steve. They call it an arcing up for humanity, and no coincidence that it's 2,000 years later. They're very specific in their creating for us a heightened sense of awareness what the possibilities are now. You know, there are a lot of people waking up, and even if they're not really fully conscious spiritually or awakened to what the possibilities are, they're feeling something going on. There's a discomfort or a disease in a lot of people because the frequencies are getting so high. People that are not committed to really mastering their emotions are going to have a difficult time.

Can you address the mastering of emotions?

Sheila: The process THEO talks about is soul integration, which is taking time to go within and find out who inside is uncomfortable and becoming aware of certain circumstances, situations, certain times and genders, in which there had been a separation. They call them the little orphans, and it's much like the inner child work model or the psychological model. Only it's expanded into a multidimensional being or the soul, where there are fragments of our soul that have been cut off that when we are embodied in this time are working on being heard and being integrated back into the totality of one's being. So many of the patterns in our lives that happen over and over again are the acting out of these little orphans. It's not the adult self that is in control most of the time emotionally. We get in touch with those little orphans and bring them home, love them, parent them, our adult self parenting them, letting them know that they're loved and they're not going out there alone.

Marcus: And it may not, Steve, have been in this lifetime that these experiences occurred where the fragmentation took place. In the soul integration meditation we do in our workshops, Theo takes people through a very specific process of meeting ourselves essentially, actually having an opportunity to reexperience the core of why we
react the way we do. A lot of people just look at this lifetime as the answer to why they are who they are or react the way they react. But it's actually so much more expanded than that, and it's multidimensional. It's multiple lifetimes that we've been able to tap back into to recognize who we are and why we do the things we do, why we repeat the patterns that we repeat. When you acknowledge and integrate with that aspect of the soul, magic starts to happen, man.

Sheila, when you're channeling, are you aware of what's being said?

Sheila: I'm aware of it now. When it first began, I wasn't. But over the 40 years I've been doing this, it's been a work in progress. As I used the tools that Theo has given us in my life and have done my own inner work, I've become more and more conscious of their teachings. I could move myself aside, and I can hear the words that are given. But I'm not aware always when a session is over. I may have bits and pieces, but as I listen back to a tape, I will remember.

What can people expect from going to your seminars or workshops?

Marcus: There are a variety of different experiences that the participants have. For the most part, it's question and answer. So the audience gets an opportunity to ask their own personal questions. It could be spiritual or personal or connecting with a deceased loved one. It could be some global or great mystery that they would like to have the answer to. But there is an energetic effect, absolutely. There's a vibrational effect. The guidance is just laser-like. I mean it's so crystal-clear typically for the questioner and so specific to them in their own personal process.

Let me give you just one quick story that describes how THEO works with people, whether it be in a public arena or in a private session or on the radio. When we were hosting our radio show in Phoenix a few years ago, a lady called in and asked about her physical situation, and Theo says, “We see here that you are visually impaired.” And then they went on to describe an issue with her lower back. The lady seemed very pleased with the response.

On Monday morning, she called our office and said, “I was your first caller yesterday. I'm a Ph.D. candidate at Arizona State University in education. I don't know who you people are, but I know this is all real because the first thing that came out of your wife's mouth was ‘we see here you are visually impaired.' I'm blind.”

“And then they proceeded to give me some information about my lower back, and I had given you no information about that, and they were absolutely completely right on. In fact what they told me to do has helped me immensely and I just wanted to thank you very much.”

So we decided to ask the question on next Sunday's show because I went to Sheila and I said, “How does this work exactly?”

So we asked that question in the next week's show. They said that each individual, each human being, has a unique vibrational frequency, which is essentially the blueprint of the entire soul that comes through our voice. It's the voice that takes THEO on an energetic frequency right into the entirety of the soul, like a thought bridge.

Can we talk with Theo?

Sheila: OK. What happens is I just take a couple of breaths that allow me to relax and move over and let Theo come in. When Theo comes in, they'll say, “This is the beginning, is it not?” and that'll be your cue.

OK.

THEO: This is the beginning, is it not? Questions?

Yes. I talk to a lot of people who seem to have a lot of stressful changes going on in their lives. Could you give us some insights on how to adjust to our changing times?

THEO: It's a time of grand change. It is to be thought of as positive. Many think in terms of negativity and upheaval, but out of this chaos will come order for the betterment of all humankind globally. Coming now in this time is a global economic structure, a global community, a common unity amongst the people of the world, not only of the country of which you live, for it is to understand that all are being affected in this transitionary period of time. There will come a common unity politically speaking as well.

This is to come fully to fruition by the 2012 year, which we have spoken about for many years past. Since 1975, we have been speaking about this transition that is now. It has been moving along quite well. We speak in terms of this broader picture; there will be better involvement for human beings on the planet. Yes, there are changes necessary. But those individuals that are having difficulty in their lives with change will see in not a great length of time how much better it will be.

You see it going in a positive direction in that we will be working together better? 

THEO: And to think in terms of the broader scope, not so insular. There's a global community of human experience and understanding of one another that will be a great blessing.

Shifts in the global community could take some time. What should we remember that will help us be patient?

THEO: Ask yourselves: Are all my needs and desires met in this moment?

The attitude of gratitude is extremely important—and to be grateful and have gratitude for what one does have, the blessings that are in one's life. So when one has stress and is always fearful, it is best you ask that of yourself, to be fully present in the moment to moment of the experience and not too far into the future. For if one is too far, futuristically speaking, they become fearful because they often times have not the understanding or the vision of what is to come. And if they're too far into the past, they are often in regret, so it is important to be in the now, in the moment of expression and grateful for what one has: health, wellbeing, family, love, all of the things that are important to them, and to embrace that.

And if one has difficulty being in the now, as most do, direct all the sensory being back into what one is experiencing in the moment. If they are eating, what is it tasting like? If they are speaking, are they listening as well very carefully to the conversation? It is moment-to-moment full expression, living life fully.

In the book, you talk about “establishing new patterns of ecstatic living.”

THEO: That is being living in the present moment. When one is present in their experience, they see the miraculous. They have multidimensional experiences. They have greater awarenesses because they are more inwardly-focused often-times rather than so external, rushing about doing. It is about awareness. It is not that you do not make goals and intentions, but then you live into them. Do you see?

You “live into them?”

THEO: You project or you intend and when the opportunity presents itself, you pay attention to it. All dreams and desires can be met in this way, but it is important to have presence and to be receptive. That is where the soul integration allows the being to be present in the experience and to receive that which they desire.

Let me use a personal example here. Today was one of those days when it seems like every time I wanted to focus on what I thought I needed to focus on, the printer wouldn't work or the tape recorder wouldn't. Things that I felt like I had to take care of were pulling me away from what I needed to do—according to me, anyway.

[Laughter]

THEO: Aware of your questioning because the key word here was “needed to do” as opposed to doing. It was also an attitude, was it not?

Mm-hmm, okay.

THEO: That occurs when one becomes too frustrated to quiet and to ask where the frustration lies. When that is addressed, then you proceed with the experience, not out of resistance, but out of acceptance. Do you understand? Knowing that each thing that has been brought forth is a gift to give you that insight because the frustration will lead you into an awareness of who is frustrated within you, and where those come from and why. It always gets done more efficiently once one is aware and present with it.

Uh-huh.

THEO: It's also to give yourself permission to not do and to be in the moment to see is this true, where I need to be, where I think I must be. At times the frustration can come when one's trying to push an event that should not be pushed. Do you understand?

There might also be the expectation that it should go smoothly, and it's not, so frustration pops up.

THEO: Yes, but when one is present in the energy, one should ask why is it not going smoothly. Maybe it is not to be done in that moment. Or someone else should do it.

[Laughter]

Sure that would be good. Now I'm very curious if we could look at the global again for a moment. You said there is a hope for peace and for people working together. A lot of people don't want to think about politics, but some of the changes we may want require changes in political structures or governments.

THEO: Absolutely, there are political structures being changed dramatically at this point in time. This is a global personality. It will be a part of this global structure and global community to come to fruition. You will be well-pleased.

Good, although 2012 seems quite a ways off.

THEO: Yes, but it's happening now, so beings can become frustrated with personalities that they're not working hard enough or fast enough. To change a world order takes a bit of time and discussion and communication, does it not?

Yes.

THEO: One thinks in terms of the changes that are going to dramatically come about; many will see that it's happening quite quickly, and the energy has been in place and it's been worked upon for many years past. You will see there's a quickening.

And so, yes, some may be frustrated, but they must look at their own frustration being projected out onto others, and they're not addressing what they should on the inner levels. If beings take responsibility for their own emotional maturity, there will be peace.

Much love unto you!
