This Week’s Quotation:
I use it all the time, every day; and in actual fact, every time I come before you, in a class or a service, I begin to work on the basis of developing that cloud and letting you be in it to whatever degree your response will permit; you will be in the cloud, the cloud of glory of the Shekinah. You may not see it, but you can reach a point where you can see it and it is wonderful! Sometimes it may become so dense, shall we say, so thick or full, that it simply blocks out all vision of the people around you; you cannot see the far corner of the room. I have many times known it to be so thick that I could not even see my own hand that far from my eyes—the cloud. And the cloud you feel, you sense through feeling, to start with. Finally, you begin to have the ability to see it, and to hear it; for there is a sound in it. But don’t go trying now, because if you try to see it you will not; if you try to hear it you will not. You have to let it appear.

The Practical Shekinah Cloud
Attunement Teacher and Practitioner
Have you ever had a heightened sense of your surroundings that went beyond your normal physical senses? Many individuals have had such experiences, even if they have not acknowledged them. Such wondrous soul-sensory perceptions provide immediate reconnection to the sacred.
The Shekinah cloud, often described as a cloud of glory, represents a tangible manifestation of Divine Presence. Passages in Exodus describe a cloud covering the Tabernacle, symbolizing God’s dwelling among His people. Uranda describes it as something that can be felt, seen, and even heard, perhaps in that sequential order.
The Shekinah cloud can clearly have a unifying effect in group settings, such as classes or Attunement Services. There is a sense of a shared spiritual field being created, which others can immerse themselves in, to whatever degree their response will permit. Uranda seems to be describing a collective state of heightened spiritual connection, but ultimately respecting each one’s unique journey and capacity for such experiences in that moment.
What are some practical individual applications of the Shekinah cloud?
By entering the “cloud of glory,” Attunement Practitioners may tap into deeper wells of inner exploration, emotional healing, inspiration, intuition, and innovative thinking, allowing for breakthroughs in various creative and intellectual pursuits.
By learning to sense the presence or absence of the cloud, individuals can become more attuned to their own emotional landscape and use this awareness to make more conscious, spiritually-aligned choices.
By immersing oneself in the “cloud of glory,” practitioners can experience the kind of peace, clarity, and inner harmony that represents a bridge between the mystical and the mundane, the divine and the everyday.
May we approach each moment open-minded, curious, and willing to experiment with different practical approaches to find what resonates most deeply.
What Is Attunement?
Attunement is a consciousness practice and an energy medicine practice that leads to personal spiritual regeneration.
Dear Oran and Uranda Thanx for being in and knowing the Shekinah cloud.
I am in the Sun today, so I can relax in the intensity of this time, and trust that all is well. With the intense and big rainstorm a lot broke down in my home last Saturday what needs to be repaired and cleaned.Its very symbolic that the water of truth helps me to see,
And I trust the people who are helping me also to finish this project.
It opened up a lot of being with special friendly people. It was in our Attunement time last Saturday that it happened.
I Am taking care of the water as you all of the fire last month.We are all in this together! Love Irene
Oren, you have beautifully communicated how the “cloud of glory” can impact and enrich our practical living!
I first met the Emissaries at a conference at the University of Denver, October 10, 1970. There were around 200 attending. The room filled up with pulsating white light where sometimes I couldn’t see the individual speaker. That light has been with me ever since, accessible whenever I choose. Thank you, Uranda, for explaining it so clearly.
Thank you Oren and Lloyd for giving me a new perspective on the cloud I have been living in for the past several months. Medical science has it’s own ideas about what is misting my vision but I like this explanation much better.
Dear Oren and David:
Nothing could be more true than living this moment into every moment in the Cloud of Glory. I know this surround as the One Who dwells.
The wellspring of truth as sacred seduction, water pouring forth with the fire of Love, bringing forth into the Cloud.
What magnificence! The Law works!!!
There’s a pneumaplasmic path forged in the Sanctuary of our earthly home.
Honor and glory we bring to the nations, inside individuals and into the collective.
And so it is and forever more shall be…
May we approach each moment open-minded, curious, and willing to experiment with different practical approaches to find what resonates most deeply.
Curiosity may be our greatest gift!! When we are curious – we are most likely not living in the realm of ‘I already know’ – or ‘It is what I already believe it is’ and I have no need to be open to any new possibilities’.

Dear Oren, I so appreciate your expression. Yes, sensing whether i am “wearing” my cloud of glory when entering an Attunement space is a bit like making sure I am wearing clothing before I leave the house. The value of the cloud of glory is inestimable. Great to read of its importance to Uranda. WITH YOU in this. I am also noting that this blog reached me (and no doubt others) first thing Monday morning. How wonderful to start both the day and the week together in this way … and with so many other great resources on this site as well. I recommend the book, on-line class, and so much more available here. Thank you Oren. Love, Tom C.
