“If the whole of life could be summed up in one word I would suggest to you that that word is ‘search’.  Search for what you want.  Search and you will find.

“There are so many people around today, who spend too much time in front of their computers, in front of the television, the victims of football or sport - anything that occupies their mind.

“They will not find anything, because they are not looking.  We have to search.  Jesus told us this so clearly and we all know the words.  “Search and you will find.  Knock and it shall be opened unto you.”

“But if we don’t bother we have only ourselves to blame and we are all heading towards a moment of life when we leave this earth plane and move on to life in another dimension.

“We walk through that door, the curtain parts.  There are many allegories about what it is and how it happens.  We have all lost somebody, who was very close to us and we’ve all been through that moment of suddenly knowing that they are just not there anymore.

“And yet they are!  If our senses are attuned and we search our thoughts and we put out thoughts about them.  How many times in the hours and days after losing somebody really close to us, have things happened that haven’t happened before?

“We hear thoughts in our minds and think, “That’s funny, but I thought that.” No!

“How many widows have said, “You know I had this thought and John could have said that?”

“How do you know that John didn’t say that?

“We are too busy locked into the box.  As somebody said, “What are we doing thinking in a box about what is outside.  Why don’t we get out of the box and see what is outside?”

“We are boxed in to so many things that we are taught at school, by the Church, by the Rules of Society, by the Governments, by what you will…

“What has happened to our own free thought that ‘God’ gave us?  Are we really using it?  Do we go to bed and turn off the light or reach for a book until it falls out of our hands and then go to sleep?

“Do we have time through the day?  Do we make time during the day to put our daily life aside and go into the quietness, the thinking, the going within ourselves and giving those souls time, who have moved on from this dimension into the next, a chance to communicate with us?

“Many have gifts.  Jenny and I have gifts.  We stand up here and we are talking to you, because we recognise our gifts and we love our gifts, because we use them to help people.

“You have all got gifts.  You may not have developed them as much as we have been able to, or how our guides have developed them with us, but we all have them.

“We all receive messages.  What do you do with those messages?  Do you stop and just think, “Oh, that’s funny!  Oh, that is surreal, it happened!” 

“It was real.  It happened.  There is no such thing as a coincidence.  Things really do happen and souls do give you messages.  I’ll tell you something that happened to me.

“The time, the first date I was going on to meet Jenny and I had that awful moment driving round the M25.  What do you do?  Do you put your arm round the lady?  Try and kiss her goodnight?

“You could ruin the whole relationship at that moment if you get it wrong.  Well, what on earth do you do?  How do you go about it?  You don’t know the person that well and so you don’t know how they are going to react!

“Suddenly I was driving in the outside overtaking lane of the M25 and I was following a Porsche and its number was XOK.  (Laughter)  That’s true!  It’s real.

“If you look for these things – look into sky and look at the clouds.  Don’t go there trying to make something happen.  Just look up and sometimes you think, “Good heavens that looks just like a bear” and that bear is meaningful to something that is meant for us.

“There are so many things.  You can be driving along the road and you say, “That’s funny.  The name on that lorry is the same as that person I met the other day.”  Is someone trying to tell you something?  So you can be certain that there are messages out there all the time.

“I am reading a wonderful book at the moment by a gentleman called Anthony Lawrence, no, sorry, Lawrence Anthony.  I beg your pardon.  It’s very confusing when people have two first names!

“He has died now, but he was a conservationist in South Africa and he bought an area of land that used to be used for hunting and he turned it into a conservation area.

“When he died, and this has been documented by a lot of people, when he died, for two days two herds of elephants that he had worked with and saved, came and stood outside his lodge to pay their tribute to this wonderful man.

“Now these animals don’t know anything, do they?  There is a wonderful piece in the book where he says, “I drove to get some peace and quiet, which I mainly get when I am around with the elephants.

“The matriarch was standing there when I arrived reading the newspaper.  The elephant had its trunk out and it was just sifting the air reading all the messages in the wind.”

“The first thing they do is to read the Obituary to see who’s died.  Then they read the Births to see who’s been born.  They can tell all these things on the wind.”

“They pick up vibrations through their feet and they can communicate with other herds many miles away.  They have a tummy rumbling on a certain vibrations and those rumble we can’t pick them up but they can.

“We have lost all these things, but these wonderful animals are being shot for their ivory, so that people in China can have something, which they probably don’t recognise the difference between ivory and plastic, so what does it really matter.

“Before long there will be no more elephants in South Africa and that is tragic.  The Rhino have almost gone just so some can have the tooth that they use for protection.  It’s just bone and fibre and has no medical properties whatsoever.

“Well, I am moving away.  What I want to say to you is, “Look.  Search.”  Don’t just read the newspapers or see the news and go, “Tut-tut.”

“Send out a thought.  Whenever you get the opportunity send them out and make a difference. Do it!  If we all did it the world would be a better place.

“As Red Cloud said in his Reading, we have got to send out positive thoughts to lift this negativity and abandon it, send it away.  We want the world to be a better place for those who come after us.

“Let us all remember to do the best we can.  It is all that is asked of us that we do our best.  Jesus is the miracle man.  Ask him to help.  We can’t do miracles, but we can recognise them when they happen.

“God bless you all.”

“There have been so many changes around the world.

“The cold weather of recent times, which has swept down from Siberia right across Europe and also came to our tiny island, which is on the edge of Europe, whether we like it or not.

“There have been many deaths in the hundreds and thousands, especially in Hungry, Ukraine and Poland, which have affected the old, the sick and the homeless.

“No matter how much these people have suffered, we are truly well off by comparison and we must really realise this.

“We have just come back from Switzerland and there due to the cold weather a water main exploded bringing ice and water, which closed the only bridge across the river in Geneva.

“It took four days to repair it and the traffic in this wonderful city was gridlocked, as people tried to find their way to work and also to the main railway station and the airport.

“The water from the lake was driven by high winds and swept over cars, benches and trees freezing immediately and covering them with ice.

“It all looked very pretty, but very cold.  We were told that it was the coldest for thirty years in some places and in Geneva, with the wind-chill factor; it was the coldest ever recorded.

“The winter time is used for reflection, while we sit by our firesides and understand where we have come from and what we have achieved and also look ahead.  It is our rest period.

“However it’s not always easy to understand where we actually are, because it all looks as though we are being buffeted around without any logical progression.

“It’s not always the case that as we try to travel from A to B in a straight line, we find that we have to go via C, D and E.  Sometime afterwards one can look back and say, “Oh, I was meant to go down that road I can see it now, that was all there so I could end up where I was meant to be.”

“When you are on that journey it is very hard to understand that you are just where you are meant to be.  You can feel the vibrations of problems battering you.

“You can’t sleep at night.  You wake up in the morning and you try and put them right.  You try and make changes and they don’t work out.

“But everything in our lives comes to us for a reason.  It’s no good blaming somebody out there saying, “Why have you dropped all this lot on me?”

“He does it very gently really.  If we didn’t have these terrible moments with all these problems, what would we learn in life?  We are only here for what – fifty or a hundred years?

“It’s nothing in the eons of time throughout the Universe.  It’s just like a holiday that’s gone so horribly wrong.  So when we leave let our hearts go on, as the words of the song that we have just sung tell us to do and of course they do.

“Our hearts go on.  We are only here for a short time in this physical body to experience, learn and move on.  Moving on is a sad time because for a short while we miss our friends and family and your love ones.

“It’s only like going away for a short holiday and coming back, because we are all going to meet up.  If we are all on the same vibration, on the same path, doing good things whenever we can then we are all going to end up in the same place.  We make the place where we go to.

“We can all think of certain people, leaders of oppressing countries that are slowly and gently being asked to move on.  As the Syrians are telling Bashar al-Assad that they have had enough – move on.  He will.

“It is because of the strength of the Spirit and good men that are making him do that.  He wants to do it the hard way.  He is oppressing his people.

“Aren’t we grateful we are not Syrians?  Are there any Syrian’s here?  If there are then we send God bless to your country.  You have suffered much like many people around this world.

“You can go back to Victorian England and all those people who suffered at that time, the poor people and the children, who were sent up chimneys to sweep those chimneys.

 “The servants were the lucky ones in the big houses.  They were protected and looked after.  Many people had hard lives.  I mention them not to give you a history lesson, but perhaps to say, “Are things really as bad as for other people?”

“Today in these countries or through history, we have many things to be grateful for and one thing that we have and will definitely happen and it is a major wonderful thing. 

“As we heard in the reading, spring is coming.  Whatever we do, however badly we behave the sun comes up in the morning.  The crocuses come up, the snowdrops are already here, the daffodils and narcissus will soon be out.

“Before we know it the bluebells will be out and it will be summer and then we will be saying, “We need the rain.  It’s so hot.” 

“But you won’t want to give up on winter will you?  Wintertime is for looking after yourself, looking at where you have been, what you have achieved and by the warmth of your fire at home or perhaps as you put your head on your pillow and thank the great Creator for all that we have that we could so easily be without as so many people are throughout the world.

“God bless you all.”

“I would like you to consider the question, “Is life sacred and should it ever be taken?”  It is a simple enough question.  It has a fundamental base that runs right through Mankind’s history.

“Three thousand years ago God brought Moses into Egypt to take the ‘chosen people’ out of slavery.  My beloved Libby, who died some twelve years ago, I know from Spirit is now working as part of a special team, Mustafa has told us, to help free this world of slavery over three thousand years after that event.

“Is life sacred?

“Did Jesus come two thousand years ago to walk in the dust of the Middle East to bring a message of great importance to the whole of Mankind of how we should live?

“He gave us examples and the truth that we need and two thousand years on that dust is stagnating under so many gallons of human blood of the Jews, of whom Jesus was one, of the Christians who made a church out of the cross that he was crucified on and the Muslims, who came later to bring a different message.

“Those three religious sects have destroyed the very beautiful place and tradition, where Jesus came to give this message.  We are told reliably by the Church, who we are told know better than we, that Jesus was the Son of God, that he was part of God and that he deserved true reverence and our love and obedience.

“If that is so and we turn our backs on Jesus and we carry on in this world of misery and pain and destruction, then we are also turning our backs on God and it is no wonder that the whole structure that Man has made of this globe is collapsing around our ears.

“The financial structure made up originally by the Knights Templers, who made the first banks, so that Pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem, where there happened to be fighting with the Muslims and the spilling more blood, so they could safely leave their money with the Crusaders and who would give them a ticket so when they got there were able to take their money out.

“It got rid of the robbers on the roads.  It was a good thing.  So what happened to the Crusaders and their banks?  They became too rich and too wilful and 1307 the Pope, the head of the Christian Church, and the King of France had them destroyed and others took over the banking system and others were produced within this country, within this European Union, within the streets of the World, a society of greed and ‘I must have’.

“Is it nothing to do with us or am I talking a load of rubbish and being boring on a Sunday evening?  Or have we not woken up to the fact that by doing nothing we condone it.

“If I go out into the street tonight and I see a young seven year old child being molested by a dirty old man and I walk on and do nothing, then I am partly responsible for what happens to that child and what happens to the man, who has obviously got a mental problem.

“We are all responsible for the state of affairs.  We are all responsible, because in the Middle East after the British Raj, where we ruled India because we were so powerful.

“We ruled a quarter of the World.  Good Christian country, English stock, what did we teach them?  How to fight?  How to want more?  Where is Jesus’s legacy for the Empire and the Commonwealth today?

“America took over the role after the Second World War, because we had to buy our armaments from them to defeat Hitler.  As some one reminded me the other day Hitler was born Christian!  We tend to forget.

“But the Americans have taken over the role in the Middle East and in order to get cheap fuel, and all the nice things that they wanted, they have snuggled up to the rulers of the people in the Middle East.

“Gadaffi and all the others, because they had something that the Western World, I won’t say needed but wanted.  That is cheap oil.

“How many times when you looked into your newspapers or you read the news do you see another face of us in the West, in Europe and America and in this country, doing business with people because they have something that we want and it doesn’t matter that they are stamping over all their own people.

“What would Jesus say?  We are all here with a belief in Jesus.  You cannot be involved in a spiritual way of life unless you believe in what he taught and if you believe in what he taught, how do you feel about the way that other people have interpreted it?

“It is not only the Christian through many, many wars have been saying, “It alright!  God is on our side.  You will go to heaven if you allow your sons to go and fight in the 1914-18 War, because   God’s on our side.  He’s an Englishman.”

“Does anybody still believe that in this day and age that God is a man sitting on a throne with a bowler hat and an umbrella trying to rule the universe?

“It’s an insult, isn’t it?  God is a Universal Force that brought all these things into being and, as I humbly say it, “He only made one mistake.”

“He gave us free will, so that we could oppose him and go unpunished – in the short term.  Therefore we think its okay to be badly behaved if we do get away with it. 

“It’s like Jenny driving us here today, there was a maniac going past.  We were doing the speed limit and somebody goes past in a van at goodness how many tens of miles an hour faster than she was.

“I am sorry to say this, but she called him an idiot!  She was quite right!  He was an idiot only because he though he could get away with it.  If he had met a police car coming the other way that had flagged him down, he would have felt that he had been victimised and picked on and we have heard it all before.

“We all say that we can only do what is in our own hearts, we could only look after our own lives and get out of ticklish spots to go to Summerland, up there, where we have made a place for ourselves.

“But if we do a lot more to help other people, our fellow man, for the greater good and try and talk to people and to try and stop the slavery, the oppression, the starving, famine in the Horn of Africa.  Has Man learned nothing, since Joseph went into Egypt and interpreted a dream?

“When are we all going to wake up and find out that we got it wrong because we didn’t listen?  At least we listened, but it didn’t stick.  We couldn’t find enough other people to come together with the same ideas and say, “Come on.  Let’s do something.  Let’s make our voices heard.”

“So I leave you with the thought that I gave you at the beginning, “Is life sacred and should it ever be taken?” because if it is sacred then we should help preserve it in all people all around this globe regardless of colour, creed or the belief system they have.

“There are too many of us, who are too happy that rather than think about doing something positive to turn over on our pillows and have another ten minutes before the alarm clock goes off.

“We are all guilty.  Every one again has got to remember, when we die, we die in body, we live in Spirit and as long as we have got a good answer for that person sent to meet us, who says, “What did you do?  Did you make a difference?  I can’t quite see it from up here, but tell me have you made a difference?”

“Like Mandela’s made a difference, like Sister Teresa’s made a difference – you can go round the world and you can see a few and maybe there are many more who are unheard of and unsung, but we only get one shot at this and its not too later.

 “God bless you all.”

The PHILOSOPHY of RED CLOUD

“Dear people, thank you for so many of you coming out tonight.  There are always attractions at home that stop people from coming.

“So often there is a reason not to come, but tonight is a special evening in the history of this world and for our country in particular, because many forces are at work trying to bring the greater good into the good to remove it from the negative vibrations in which they have been trapped for so long.

“During the last two millennia the words of our Lord Jesus have been diluted, debased and by many trodden into the dust.

“Whether you believe that he was a man who came as a prophet to teach the Way, the Truth and the Life or whether he was the son of God or whether he never existed, really doesn’t matter.

“That may surprise some of you.  After we have gone who will notice?  Only our deeds will be remembered and the deeds of this man who taught in the Middle East on sacred ground, which has been despoiled by Mans greed and hostility to himself.

“Those words still tell us, whether we are a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim or Agnostics, they tell us the way to live our lives for the betterment of our souls  and the greater good of all those around us.

“If the people of this earth plane would only remember and think about the teachings that he gave, the stories and the parables that he taught.

“He taught simple messages, not highfalutin philosophy, but simple stories about men and women who lived in those days, so that they could understand and each one had a message for you and for me.

“If we all try to look back at those words, to love our neighbour and not to hate him because he looks differently, we all worship the same God, the same Creator, the Great Universal Force who made this all possible and whether you are entrapped by science or by religion, that doesn’t really matter.

“It’s the way you use your life and your time on this earth plane – that is what matters and remember that when you leave this earth and those heavy burdens are put down, because we are not here just to have a good time.

“We are here to understand some very hard lessons and we all go through pain.  We all go through love, because in order to appreciate love then you have to appreciate some pain.

“God made, if you like, a coin of life and enlightenment and on one side are the things we like and on the other are the things that we don’t like.

“But to have one without the other would be meaningless.  In order to appreciate all the good things you have in life, like our health, sometimes we have to be unwell. 

“So remember that when you pass, you will be met and someone will ask you, “What did you do?  Did you make a difference?  Is the world a better place for our children and our grand children, because you came?”

“Well now, I hope you can say, “Yes.  I didn’t always succeed, but I did all these things and I helped wherever I could.” 

“You can’t do more than you are able, but don’t walk by on the other side, because you can’t turn back.

“Work in love, learn from others, be tolerant for what is good and stand against what is bad and the world will be a better place because you walked here.

“God bless you all.”

The PHILOSOPHY of RED CLOUD

Michael's Higher Guide and Mentor, Red Cloud, painted by Jenny Ayers

Given as the Address by Michael Ayers at Divine Service at Eastbourne Christian Spiritualist Church, Eastbourne in East Sussex on Sunday, 28^th August 2011

“We are gathered together this afternoon in a place of Spirit and in a place of God, where many of you have brought together your private thoughts, your private needs and your private hopes.

“But because you have come together and brought them together, they are so much more powerful.  God has made us all powerful by allowing through his creation that we too can be creative.

“We have the ability to create original thought and these thoughts, whether we say them or whether we think them, go out from us into the Universe.

“Good thoughts are on a higher vibration and they take love and they are heard and they are answered in the best possible way for us and to those to whom we direct them.

“Unfortunately, there is another side to the coin of thought and that side is the negativity, the hate, the intolerance and all those things, which are spreading like a cancer around this globe that has made it a world that, by and large, worships the material of greed and envy.

“It has reached such a point that our Almighty Father has decreed that enough is enough and instead of this side of the coin, which is filled with light and love and plenty, the other side is manifesting itself.

“The worship of greed and avarice has to be turned down and like the Babylonians, who sacked Jerusalem and took them off into slavery for seventy years, because God said, “You worship me alone and not Baal and all the other Gods.”

“We, by and large, have been worshiping the material as a race and, all around the world, banks and financial houses have been gambling with our money.

“They have turned the world into a huge casino.  People are even selling their shares, which causes the prices to go down, so they can buy them more cheaply and pocket the difference.

“Is that a way to run the world?

“The whole financial system will have to change and the present society will have to be rethought.  “I want it now.  I’ll pay for it tomorrow”.

“How do you know that you can pay for it tomorrow?  You tell that to the Greeks and the Romans and the Irish and the Spanish and so on.

“Tell that to the Americans, where they are now in debt because their bonds are held by the Chinese.  Who is going to rule in this new order of the world?

“What is important is that each and every one of us does our bit, so that we stand up and understand what is happening.  A lot of people are going to be in trouble.

“A lot of people are going to lose their homes and some have done already.  A lot of people will need love and support and we all need to do what we can, especially within our own family.

“We must insure that it is not going to be our children, who use Facebook to go and incite rioting – people who want something for nothing – it is not a happy world.

“Miracles are happening all around the world.  It is important that we see them.  For so long, at least for the last forty years, nobody would have believed that the people would stand up in Libya and pull down the tyrant.

“Syria will pull down a tyrant and in time with Spirits help these countries will be free.  They have to be free.  Oppression is a yoke around our necks.

“It is not only in the Middle East.  Sometimes it’s in the home, when a man has so much ego that he is the number one in the family and everybody else has to do his bid.

“Some women are strong, some men are weak.  Nobody is always depicted by the parallel, but there are families who are in trouble, because they don’t talk to each other and by the time that they have started talking to each other it is too late, because they have already got their entrenched positions.

“Those of us who understand these things must teach our children how we must share, love and hope and, before our children are two, let them start to realise the difference between right and wrong.

“We all know the difference.  Everybody knows the difference.  Even Colonel Gaddafi knows the difference – it’s just that he’s not listening, because he wants all that revenue for himself and now he is paying a price.

“Let us all remember, as Brenda said earlier on, that despite all these sores and spots of weakness and discontent around the world, this is a beautiful planet.

“Let us try and keep it that way.  Let us try and do our bit to make our gardens smile and be happy.  Let our faces smile and be happy.

“Let’s not walk through the streets looking as miserable as some people do.  Smile!

“If they can’t smile back that is their problem, but you are giving them those wonderful vibrations of love and sometimes they share and they realise and they will smile back and they will feel better and so they will go round the corner and smile at somebody else.

“Don’t just sit in your armchair thinking, “I can’t do anything.  I am so small and insignificant.”

“No you are not!  We are all God’s creation.  We all have a will.  We all know what is the right thing to do.  Let us go out and do it for our fellow man and for ourselves.

“To paraphrase what JFK said all those years ago, “Let us not ask God what he can do for us, but let us ask God what we can do for him, for the greater good, for our fellow man and for the future of this planet.

  

“God bless you all.
