“Why
Spirit Guids Return”
Like many
others, I was asked whether I would go back into the belt of matter to
try to save those in your world who were trying to destroy themselves and
the world in which they lived. We have tried to work amongst you, and we
still try to work amongst you, seeking by your own standards to prove that
those who leave your world still live in the fuller realms of the Great
Spirit, so that you shall understand that you are part of the Great Spirit
even as they are.
Although
we strive in these things, there are many who seem to think it is more
important to worry about the toys than the message. What does it matter
whether the message comes from one whom the world calls white, or black,
or yellow, or red? What does it matter if the laws of the Great Spirit
are given you by one who has had much education or not, so long as it is
the Law, so long as it is the truth?
Many years
ago, you were taught that “A little child shall lead them.” Until you learn
to put away the foolish wisdom of the wise, and get back to the simplicity
of the child, you will not advance much either in your world or in mine.
Your world makes a difference between those whose skins have been coloured
by the sun of the Great Spirit. They look at their skins and forget that
their spirits are all one.
Why do you
think you have wars? Why do you think you have misery? Why do you think
you have great sorrow in your world? Because those who are blinded by matter
and can only see through its limitations do not see that behind the things
of matter there is a unifying spirit of the Great Spirit. Because they
seek to make differences, they have chaos, they have disaster, they have
bankruptcy.
You have
sought to build your lives on the systems of your own material world. You
have sought to become educated and cultured and have tried to build up
a civilization away from the laws of the Great Spirit.
Because
of that, your world has fallen. It is in ruins, just as much in ruins as
is the civilization of the olden days. Because we love you, because that
love which comes from the Great Spirit flows through all of us, we come
back to you to try to help you to pick up the pieces and build them on
the structure of eternal things, the laws of the Great Spirit.
Because
when
we lived on earth we had coloured skins, you say to us: “No, we refuse
to have the world put right because your skin is coloured. We would rather
have disaster, unless we can be helped by people whose skins are white.”
But all
the same, I want you to know that you help us. There is much in the things
that you have discovered in your own civilization that helps us. It is
a perfect law in its operation. We seek to teach you what we have learned
in the realms of spirit, and we seek to imbibe whatever knowledge you can
give us. It is through that law of co-operation that the new heaven will
come into your world.
One day
in your world all the colours will merge, for all the colours have their
part to play. All peoples will merge, because each has something to give
to the world. You can see the time coming, if you look with the eyes of
the spirit, when all will live together in harmony, giving all peoples
the advantage of their own race, their own culture and their own learning.
We are all
servants of the Great Spirit - - you and I and those who work with us -
- seeking to do His will. We are misunderstood; often our friends are our
greatest enemies. But we do our work and, because we do that which is right
in the sight of the Great Spirit, we call to our aid all those forces which
belong to the spirit, which are stronger than your world of matter. And
gradually good triumphs over evil, justice triumphs over injustice, and
right triumphs over wrong. Sometimes the forces of your world push us back
for a while, but not forever.
We must
succeed, for we seek to save mankind from himself, to point to him those
higher and better ways which will enable him to live his life in service,
so that he may receive the richness of soul, spirit and mind, the peace
and the happiness which do not belong to the world of matter but to the
higher and greater things of the spirit.
It is a
great task on which we are all engaged. It is a sacred tie that binds us
all together and makes us one in spirit, one in purpose, one in desire.
Let us resolve that together we will renew our opposition to all that which
stands in the way of Truth’s advance, so that our combined efforts bring
the power of the Great Spirit nearer to His children.
If the few
words I say are of service to you, then they should enable each one of
you to go out into the world and serve the children of matter as I try
to serve you. It is your responsibility to pass on the knowledge you have.
I know that to be the Law.
I only seek
to interpret into your language the laws of the Great Spirit. Those who
read my words will not always agree with my interpretation, but I am in
a different world from them. I am sometimes limited by your language and
by my instrument. If we fail to agree, then it is either because the souls
in your world are not yet evolved to an understanding of greater truths,
or because I cannot express all that is within my soul, which is greater
than your earthly language allows me to interpret.
But I am
always ready to serve and to teach the Law, for it is only through an understanding
of the laws of the Great Spirit that the people of the world of matter
can live as the Great Spirit intended they should live. It is better to
see than to be blind, it is better to hear than to be deaf, it is better
to be awake than to be asleep. Let them open their souls to the Great Spirit.
Let them strive to attune themselves to the laws of the Great Spirit, so
that they are at one with Him and He is at one with them.
Then their
hearts and souls will be at peace, they will be in harmony with the great
rhythm of the universe, and discord will disappear from their lives. They
will begin to live as they have never lived before.
All knowledge
matters. It is not wise to say you will only receive this amount of knowledge
and will go no further.
I strive
to transmit all I know so that you may drink in as much as I have to give
you. I do this not because I am greater than you, not because I am proud
of what I possess, but because only by giving can I serve.
All knowledge
has its place. Do not strive to stop at any rung in the ladder of progress.
It is only by imbibing, by striving to get the complete picture, that life
will be understood by you.
That refers
not only in life in its material aspects, but life in its spiritual aspects,
too, for whilst your world of matter needs guidance in the things of matter
it is also necessary for the knowledge of the spirit to be given at the
same time. Our message always is that you are living now in the world of
spirit, that the world of matter is but one reflection of an eternal life.
If only
those who know would be faithful to the knowledge, how much more could
we accomplish? If only those who have listened to the voice of the spirit
and those who have witnessed the operation of spiritual laws in the phenomena
that links together the two worlds of life would forget Self and rise to
the highest heights that they could scale, we could achieve a great deal.
Knowledge
and service are greater than individuals. What we have achieved is but
little compared with what can be achieved. No limits can be set to the
Great Infinite Spirit, to the wisdom, to the inspiration, to the truth
that can be showered upon your world. There are no restrictions to the
mighty power of spirit waiting to fill your world, when your instruments
can provide the right channels for us to use.
