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 Crawley Spiritualist Church at Gossops Green in West Sussex on
Sunday, 7th July 2013
“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.”
