“It has been a very long journey – a journey that is not measured in miles or in minutes, but in progress and your perception as a light person, by the Spirit and the Creator until you turn back to face that Great Intelligence and to show him what you have done.

“Are you ready?

 “Jesus made a long journey, inside the womb of his mother and his father, to get to Bethlehem to find that all the doors were closed and his mother had to give birth to him in a lowly stable. 

“The greatest gift that the Creator could send to each and every one of us was born amid the straw and the animals and the flickering candles.  Is this what you remember when you celebrate Christmas or is it the crackers and the bangles and the presents under the tree? 

“We have all got our priorities.  We have all got our lives to lead.  We are all on a very special journey of our own and we shall all take many wrong turns and we will find that we all come back to similar circumstances. 

“There are people we know who made the wrong relationship and then you find that they have found happiness again and a few years later they are back in the same place again with the same type – whatever that type is. 

“I am not condemning them.  They may be very happy with that type, but we all have to move on.  We all have to take a better step forward than the last one.  If we are not bothered about that then we are not going to make any progress. 

“We have all got problems.  We have all got things that we have to solve.  It is no good just sitting back saying, “They don’t exist.  I’ll be all right!” 

“Look around the world, how many people are all right? 

“Jenny mentioned the children, children in Syria.  Children in our own country who are abused by adults and now we are told by other children. 

“Are people really aware?  Do the Governments and the institutions actually make progress in making this a better world?  Because if they don’t then there is no point in us living our lives down here and we might just as well give up and have a bloody good party and fully crash out.

 “We were made to help each other and if all we can think about is ourselves, then we are not going to find a welcome when we pass into the next dimension. 

“Instead of being in the light and the happiness, we hope with our friends and family, we are going to be in the greyness and the darkness, which we have chosen for ourselves by our attitudes down here. 

“Since our Chairlady mentioned Christmas, what is the most important thing about Christmas? 

“Isn’t it to look after people, who haven’t been so blessed as we are and to try and make the Winter Festival easier for them? 

“They won’t have a table laden with food and presents.  The only people who are gaining are Tesco’s and other supermarkets, because most of it gets thrown away. 

“Are people in your house too busy drinking?  Going to the pub and not getting back on time?  Are they thinking only about each other? 

“Perhaps I am being too negative.  Those things don’t happen in my house, because Jenny and I are blessed with each other and because we have unconditional love and everything we do is for each other and those that we can help. 

“We are blessed to have a destiny to fulfil, but every single person on this earth was given a destiny when they came.  Are they fulfilling it, because if they are, I don’t understand why they came? Surely it wasn’t to kill and maim and brutalise innocent people. 

“So have a good Christmas, but let us share those thoughts with all those who are not so fortunate as we are and to give all that we can with thoughts and prayers throughout the universe to all those around the world, who haven’t got a comfortable settee to place their bottoms on.

“God bless you all.”

“Love is the currency of our Creator.  We were all made in love with love.  We were given life in love with love and we are here on this earth plane, because we chose to come away from that land that many people call ‘Heaven’, but we call it the Spirit World, call it what you will, it’s the next dimension that we go back to and the currency there is love.

“This world is attacking us all the time with negativity and all the emotions, which can only be healed with love.

“If you look at the Middle East, there is no love.  You have people who hate each other, who will do anything they can to hurt and maim and kill each other.

“Many come from the same religious beliefs and there are extremists in those beliefs, as there are in all religions, because people take the extremes too far and forget the fundamental roots are made in love.

“Some two thousand years ago, a man came down to this earth plane to walk the land of Galilee and to preach love and peace and to show the way that was in our hearts we can make heaven ourselves on earth.

“If we live in love and if we believe, if we really believe, that there is more to being down here than the cold earth or the hot fire when we go - this body serves us well.  Your car, I hope, serves you well, but you don’t intend keeping that for an eternity.  It gets tired and it gets worn out.

“What we have to do is to live in love and to remember that that is the cure of all things which we don’t like – fear, hate, all emotions that we don’t like, are negative and anti-love.

“Our job here is to unconditionally love all those around us, whatever they do and, wherever we can, to be peace makers.  They are in short supply at the moment.  There seem to be more people who want to go to war than who want to make peace.

“Think of the words that have brought us to this point in the service, about Jesus and peace and raising it up, because we are human and we were given free will, which means that we can choose, between right and wrong, between good and evil, whether we will help that old lady who has just fallen down or we are too busy and must rush on.

“We have a choice and when we make the wrong choice we tend to wish that there was somebody who could carry us and to guide us and to make sure that we make the right choice.

“We all know many people who rush through their lives in fear and uncertainty, who don’t know what is round the corner and they dread what it might be and we all know, I hope, many people who have faith that there is a Higher Power.

“That people like Jesus, who came down to talk to us and to show us the way and many prophets came.  He was perhaps the greatest, but they all came down to put us back on track and that is what we, as individuals, always need.

“A guiding hand, a direction, an inspiration to see what we didn’t see before – the gateway.  The times when you stop and say, “Okay, I’m in your hands.”

“We have all got guides, who are all angels.  There is Jesus.  There is a whole host of heaven out there willing to help us and show us what to do, but we have to ask and we have to believe that they will be there and give us the right advice.

“We are brought up as children, aren’t we?  “Do you believe in fairies?”  Do you believe in goodness?  Do you believe in heaven?  Do you believe in Jesus?  Do you believe that we were created or was there just a big bang and this mess just suddenly fell out of the sky?

“If there is no Higher Intelligence we are all in a great deal of trouble and it’s all of our own making, because you can’t blame anybody else.  Mankind has brought us to this dreadful instability.

“It’s centred now on the Middle East, where all the countries of the world could be drawn in and annihilate this glorious globe and all it stands for.

“We are told that won’t happen, so don’t worry yet, but Mankind is going to be taught a big lesson.  There are things already happening around the world; things that people aren’t taking notice off.

“The floods in Russia and China and throughout the Far East, fires ravaging western America, snow in the South American deserts.  This climate change is happening and nobody is doing anything about it.

“Think about it.  Send out your thoughts.  Hope people will come to their senses before it’s too late, because we live in a land, a spiritual land, of love.

“We are only down here for a short time, so let us do the very best that we can.  Let us love everybody.  Help to stop the hatred.  Help to stop the differences and be more tolerant and whenever we can, let us try and be the peacemaker, because it all helps. 

“God bless you all.”

“You need not worry that you are being singled out.  There are people all around the world, who are doing their best, but they are a small percentage of the whole.

“Those who keep up with world affairs will see a continuous stream of things that are abominable in the eyes of God, but obviously not in the eyes of all men, women and children.

“These happen on all levels from the bullying in the local school to the abuse of women in Muslim Countries and in the East, in India, where you remember that soul who was gang raped on a bus and the harshest sentence of the seventeen year old for murder, for rape and for kidnapping and other things is three years in detention.

“What support do those women in India feel?  How safe are they?  Here in Gossops Green, I hope, you feel safe and secure, but not everything is right in this country, in Europe or in the World.

“We must all find ways to listen to what the Lord Jesus taught – not what men in pulpits are saying that he said.  Not to be guided under this umbrella of religion, which is a method of conserving power and riches for a few.

          “There are vast millions in the Vatican and look at the Catholic countries where the poor children are living in squalor and poverty.  It is not for me to judge, but the balance does seem to have gone a little the wrong way.

          “I hope we would all stop if we saw someone in need on the side of the road, like the Samaritan did, but perhaps we could spend a little more time exploring the teachings of the Master Jesus, who died not for our sins, because if we commit sins we have to face those ourselves.

“That is propaganda on the highest level that if you believe in him and wear the cross, which is emblematic of the torture that he suffered, that does not seem right to me, but what is important is the words that he spoke.

“He spoke of love, of peace, of harmony, of helping people, of doing your bit, doing what you can.  I don’t see that coming from the Synagogues, or the Mosques or the Churches.

“The Spirit that was Jesus has been driven out.  If you are sensitive, as I am sure you all are because this is a Spiritualist Church, you will be able to go into those places and feel whether there is Spirit there, whether the love of Christ is spoken and enacted right the way through in truth and honesty.

“The love that he spoke about is not without.  It is within.  God our Father gave us a conscience, so that we would know right from wrong.  That is not without.  That’s within.

“All the progress we can make towards a good place in the next dimension comes from inside us.  I hope you all will find that place, that peace and that love and share it with others; so that more can understand what Jesus died for, which was to show us, very clearly and very publically, that life is eternal.

“This is not just a bus stop down here for seventy years.  This is a learning place. 

“If we get it right and help others and move on, we will be continuing our life and moving on and helping in the next dimension and the dimension after that and on and on and on until, I hope, we all become pure, holy and good enough to join with the Creator that gave us life in the first place.

“It is like a droplet of water in the ocean or like a grain of sand in the desert, where we are as good as all those around us and we become as one with the Higher Intelligence of the whole Universe.

“God bless you all.”

“Lost, stolen or strayed, spring this year seems to have been mislaid and while we are freezing in the sub-zero temperatures, with snow blessing the snowdrops and as always happens when the daffodils come out, they are always bowed down with the weight of the frozen rain.

“I was moved this morning to do something I rarely do and that was to put the Radio on when I was in the kitchen and I heard the announcement that it was Palm Sunday today.

“Sorry, it wasn’t in my diary, but it is a very important day and I reflected that the temperatures in the Middle East two thousand years ago would have been slightly warmer than there were around us today.

“But you know, when I listened to the Reading of the words of Jesus from the Bible on that Radio this morning, I couldn’t help reflecting, not for the first time, on how this Man was not only a Great Healer, but a great Teacher.

“He was also a great Clairvoyant Medium of the highest calibre.  When you read his words, or you listen to his words, imagine him as a Medium receiving information.

“How else does he know that the Colt was there and would be tied up?  His guide, however lofty compared to ours, knew that information and not only told him that the Colt, that had never been ridden, was there, but was tied up in this village.

“He was also able to tell his disciples, who he sent to get it, that if they were stopped and asked what they were doing taking this Colt away, all they had to say was that, “The Lord had need of it.”

“And this is what happened and this is what was so often true, that if we allow Jesus into our lives and today we have all been singing and praying about the Lord, about Jesus, about healing coming to us and I just wonder, “Lost, stolen or strayed, for so many people his teachings certainly have been mislaid.”

“Think what he taught in the Middle East two thousand years ago and look at it today, still on the brink of war between the Nations.  Between the Israelis, who believe that they are God’s chosen people and the Arabs all around them, who have Mohammed as their representative, their guide.

“Jesus was a Holy Man, Mohammed was a Holy Man and they both taught us how to live our lives in LOVE and yet throughout the world ‘love’ is not a word that is understood.

  “To so many is it about feeling physically for somebody.  Love is about a mental understanding of what you can give to another, who has need.

“Look at the good people throughout the world, throughout the ages.

“I was moved by the new Pope, although I am not a Catholic and I abhor the wealth that they have taken from the people to adorn their palaces and their clothes and their whole philosophy of “We must have, because we represent God and therefore we must dress up and look this sort of theatrical part.”

“The people, who they have got the money from around the world, are in poverty.  They are lacking shoes for the children.  They are lacking water.  They are lacking the basic needs and yet here in Rome is the great wealth, the Great Bank if you like, of the Vatican.

“You can think what you will, as somebody said to me the other day, “We are all entitled to our opinions.”

“So we are, but I was moved that the new Pope took the name of Francis in memory of Francis of Assisi, who worked for the poor.  Let us hope that Jesus is able to guide him, so that the wealth of Catholicism can be used for the people who need it.

“Not for the overdressed and pompous Bishops, but the people on the shop floor, so to speak, who have to go without so much.

“This service tonight, as I mentioned earlier, has had the theme of Jesus right through it and I would just like to say, “That what we must all do, if we are going to progress in our lives, is to love the teachings of this wonderful Clairvoyant Medium and Healer, who was sent to us two thousand years ago to set an example of what life is all about.”

“He died on the Cross at Easter.  You all know that, but how many of us know why he died?

“Not for the Sins of the World as the Churches will tell you, because no-way can you be let-off before we go into the next world from the mistakes and errors that you have made.  Nobody on Earth can do that.

“He died to prove in front of everybody that life is Eternal, which is why after three days he came back so dramatically and showed himself.

“He continued to come back and if we believe the spiritual truths and enact them in our lives, we are certainly on a different pathway to what we are taught by the Religious Houses, who seem to have lost the Philosophy of Spirit within their organisations.

“I would just say to you finally, “Belief in Jesus is not essential, to know the Master Jesus is the importance of knowing Spiritual Life and God himself.”

“God bless you all.”

“Be careful what you fear.  We all have fears.  The only way to happiness is to let those fears go.  They are not worthy of you.  They are negative and hurtful.

“The only emotion that should be in your heart is that of love.  Love is the highest attainment that you can produce on this earth plane.

“Love of others, love of your family, love of yourself but without the ego, love of those who have passed, love of those who are still to come and love of those who are all around you, wishing you well and hoping to guide you to a better way of life – to choose the right pathway whenever your road diverges.

“You have choices to make.    You have a conscience within you that tells what is right and what is wrong.  Many can’t stand their conscience within and they turn their back on it and they behave so badly.

“This is not your problem.  It is theirs, because they have to realise that one of these days the Great Father, the Creator, the one who is love and wisdom in such a way that we can never understand the size and the might of his love.

“He will call for all of us to be accountable and we will be asked, in the nicest possible way, what we did with our time on this earth plane?  Did we make a difference?

“Did we help people?  Did we work for the Greater Good or did we look to pocket for ourselves, to build up, as Jesus put it, riches upon earth and have nothing to go to when we leave here.

  “What is the point of being down here, like bankers?  What is the point of them having all this money and what do they do with it?  They begat more money and more money!

“Around the world there are people crying out for bread, for water, for peace and for love.  There are so many who live in their ivory towers, secluded against the emotions of the world.  They never experience love!

“How can they?  Their lives are material.  They turn their backs on the Great Creator who made us and all that he stands for – the spirituality, the peace, the comradeship between people, the sharing. 

“Turn you back on that and what you have!  It is an emotional vacuum, which presumably these people can only fill with their greed and corruption.

“I feel so sorry for them, because when they come to account, their books are going to be empty.  I am sure that all of ours will have lots written in, so keep doing the good things.

“They are being recorded for when we leave this wet and soggy place and move on to the great light and sunshine of the next world, we will have decided by what we did here where we go and how much light and love there is, as opposed to those who will be in the grey and the darkness, who will have to learn to feel sorry for others and not just to think about themselves.

“Until they turn to that Great Light of Love, which is there for us all, they will be cold and dark and miserable and with a bit of luck, we shall be up in the Summerland, where the grass is green and the rivers flow and there are other people who are on the same wavelength as we are and we can join together and say thank you to our Creator for making it possible for us to be there.

“Together there will be a mighty shout, I know!  We all come together in same thinking.  “All the problems I have on the earth plane are now nothing.  I overcame them with your help and the help of my guides and loved ones and here I am.  God bless you God.”

“Whatever you like to call him, he is a Spirit.  He is a great intelligence.  He is the boss.  He is the one in charge – not us!  We follow where we are led, because if we turn away and think we know better it is a sad state of affairs.

“So let us be joyful and happy about what we do and to make others happy and to let them know that we know that the love of God is a wonderful thing.

“God bless you all.”
