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 Tonbridge Spiritual Centre at Hadlow in Kent on Sunday, 23rd
September 2012
“If you have been taking notice of what has
been happening in the last twenty minutes since half past six, one word has
been mentioned in every section of the service.
“That word is love. I am not going to disappoint you by talking
about anything else.
“I am going to start
by telling you something that you don’t know, which I always think is a good
idea.
“Several years ago in
the previous decade, today on bended knee I proposed to Jenny and she accepted
me, otherwise we would not be here tonight.
“I mention this not to just show off that I
am acceptable and loved, but to say to you, “Anniversaries
– they are so very important.”
“Don’t let your anniversaries slide
away. Remember them. Your life here is made up of a sandwich of
two anniversaries.
“Both of them are births. We are born into this life. We are born into the next life and in-between,
there are a whole number of anniversaries, which you must remember and keep. These are the milestones of your life.
“When you go through your second birth into
Spirit, everybody can see you as spirit.
You are seen for what you are.
You are seen for what you have achieved.
You are known for what you have done.
“You don’t want to go up there and people
think, “Is that all you did?”
“How terrible that would be. If you achieved so little on this earth plane
that people looked, I don’t think they would mutter and turn away, but they
would certainly be sad.
“Our Lord Jesus is sad when we make
mistakes. He doesn’t condemn us. He knows what it is like on this earth and he
had to put up with all the difficulties that there are on this earth plane.
“I find it very difficult to think of anything,
any of these difficulties that are not caused by Man.
“It’s no good talking about the volcano
that goes off and kills people, the mud slide that comes down, the racket your
neighbour makes. Everything is down to the
way that Man, as an individual or as a member of Mankind, behaves.
“The world is in a terrible mess – the
stripping of the forests and the oceans and the lands and all the things that
we were given to make our life pleasurable and happy and safe - the food and
the water.
“Jenny and I saw a First Nation American in
Slovenia at a conference, which we were attending and one of the things he said,
which I shall never forget, was that “One
day, my father has told me, Man will even make you pay for water!”
“What are we doing with all those plastic
bottles, but buying water because we don’t trust the quality of the water
elsewhere.
“Now I started by saying that I was going
to talk to you about love and I am now being negative and talking about the
things that need putting right and in order to put them right we need love.
“I am going to talk for a moment, if you
young people will forgive me, about four letter words – three four letter
words: LOVE, HATE and FEAR.
“Those are the three biggest energies on
this planet. There is love, which is
relatively small. I am sure you all know it. It is there and you also know fear and you
know hate.
“The only thing that can remove fear and
hate is love.
“Look at the Middle East – a classical
example of fear and hate. You don’t need
to think of any particular nation, you can go to any one of them. It is fear and hate that they are made up of
– not love.
“Religions through the ages preach love and
carry on with fear and hatred – hatred of other doctrines, fear that the
congregations won’t come and they won’t do what they are told.
“Jesus came and he brought us love. He demonstrated love to us in all that he did
and all that he went through and he did much better than we will ever do, but
that should not stop us from trying. Try
and bring love as your first emotion.
“When somebody pulls out in front of you
when you are going down the road, don’t yell and scream and shout and hoot or
whatever. Think love. He didn’t hit you, you didn’t hit him. It was alright.
“Why did that person do it? Was he rushing off to see his mother, who had
just fallen down the stairs? We don’t
know why…
“We know we are too busy to say that it was
a stupid thing to do, but how are we to know that in similar circumstances we
might have done the same or done worse.
“We all make mistakes. We all need that
energy, which hopefully stirs us at least once in our lives of love. It should be there all the time.
“We should be born to a mother who loves us
and who we love and the family is looked after by the father, who we love and
who loves us. Through all the various
stages of life, there should be love in its many, many forms.
“It is not only physical. It is mental.
It is an energy and that energy is the biggest gift that God can give
and he brings it into each and every one of us.
“It is up to us to use it and to expand it
and to remove fear from our lives, to remove hatred from our lives and to allow
everybody to see that we depend on love and by sharing and loving, the world
would be a happier and a better place for us all.
“God bless you.”
