Given as the Address by Michael Ayers at Divine Service at Crawley Spiritualist Church at Gossops Green in West Sussex on Sunday, 10th June 2012

“Children of God don’t be frightened by the words that have been read to you tonight (see Philosophical Readings at this site), but know that you are loved and that the Father Creator loves each and every one of his creations and that you are all good in his eyes.

          “You are spirit in human form and in that human form you make mistakes and errors and if you did not, you would already be part of the Godhead and a part of the creative process.

          “We are all here to learn lessons to move us along our progressive path, to make us better, to make us more understanding of the problems that other people face.

          “I am sure that you have all noticed that there times when people are in difficulty and you just don’t know what to say.

“There is a quietness within you and there are no words and that is nearly always because you haven’t had to go through what they are going through at that moment in time.

          “If you look at those people’s lives and compare them, you will find that the opportunities for learning and progression are very much the same.

“It doesn’t matter, in the spiritual sense, if one person has a great fortune, which they inherit and they may live in a big house and they may have servants.

“They may even be in charge of countries and people.  For those people, the lessons that they need to learn should weigh very heavily on their shoulders.

“When one comes into this world with advantage, one has to be responsible for the weight that that carries.  For most of us, we come in on a lower plane.

“We may think of ourselves as the little people, looking up at so many more, who know so much more, who are more powerful and who think they have all the answers.

“But very often they don’t know what is going on within.  If you look at the troubles of this world today, can you see God in the hearts of most of the people?

“In the banks, high up in the churches, high up in the Governments, the people in Europe, who are making decisions that are all going to affect our future.

“Can you really believe that they know about God, about the Great Universal Intelligence, about the things that we know?  Haven’t we more advantages than they have?

“Aren’t our shoulders a little lighter?  Are we going to turn in these difficult times ahead and survive and many of those, who will see the problems, who only want things for themselves and their own aggrandisement, who will turn themselves away, as they always have done, from the light and wisdom of the Godhead.

“They will not survive.  They will, in Biblical terms, perish.  In spiritual terms, they will leave this earth plane and find the darkness that they have brought upon themselves.

“But I want to leave you with some happier words, because we all chose the place where we go.  If you lead a life of darkness and don’t give a fig for others, then you are going to end up in the darkness of ignorance and have to fight, metaphorically, your way back into the light.

“We are all here because we believe and we have a greater or a lesser understanding, but all of you know you are where you are meant to be and, if you keep trying, you will end up where you are meant to be in the light and the love of the Spirit and to see all those who went before you and all those who came after, as long as you share love in our Father Creator.

“God bless you all.”
