Given as the Address by Michael Ayers at Divine Service at Crawley Spiritualist Church at Gossops Green in West Sussex on Sunday, 8th February 2015

“It is indeed good to be here and it is indeed good of you to come.  Without your presence it would be a very lonely evening for ‘Us’ having travelled so far through the eons of time where we normally reside.

“The Spirit World in some ways is very close to you and in others it is very far away.  It is the difference between the physical and the spiritual.  The physical is fine – you can touch it, you can see it – you know what is there.  You know when are comfortable.  You know when the seat is uncomfortable.  That’s the physical.

“In Spirit everything, once you have addressed your mistakes and errors and moved into what some people call the Summerland, the land of sunshine that comes directly from the Creator, where is no time, no darkness, no negativity and everything is as perfect as you could possibly want it, because where you find yourself is what you have earned on this earth plane.

“If you have looked after others, you have helped those that are homeless, those who are bereaved and those that are ill.  So many people have burdens to carry.  If you have helped them you will have earned yourself a more lovely and more generous place to go to in the Kingdom of God.

“We send out in the Spirit World from our own services that we hold, like this one, where we come together and we pray not to make amends, but to give our thanks to our Creator for the joy that he has given to us in creation and love and harmony, as we all exist as one in peace and, if you think back to the words that you all sang a few moments ago, “There is no Heaven.  There is no Earth.  There is no Hell.”

“It is all one perfect place where every soul comes together without conflict, but in love, harmony and peace and all they want out of life is to make others happy and to do good.

“Then you perhaps you turn the other side of the coin, which perhaps for this example you may think is this earth plane and do you find the love and the healing and the generosity of Spirit?

“The perfection that our Creator gave to all of us, when we were first made.  Is everybody on this planet doing their bit to make Heaven on Earth?

“Sadly I think not, but there are many who try and who struggle.  Doctors, who give up their time to go and work regardless of frontiers and borders, regardless of their patients being black or yellow or rich or poor, but they just need someone to do something for them and they are happy to do it.

“They set a wonderful example and there are many and I am sure sitting here there are unsung heroes amongst you that you may not recognise, because, although you may meet up, you don’t always know what good other people get up to as well.

“Don’t be afraid to do your bit.  Don’t be afraid to help.  Don’t worry what other people might say.  “Oh, she is a stupid woman.  Did you see her help that poor creature in the wheelchair?”

“That is the wrong attitude.

“Well done!  Let somebody come and help as well.  Maybe that person, next time she sees someone in trouble in a wheelchair or not, should step off the kerb and help them.

“We all need help.  We all need love.  We do not need fear and hatred and greed and corruption.  That needs to be exposed and extinguished.  We can’t all do that, but we can send out our thoughts and our prayers.

“We can in our own little way when we see an opportunity to do something good, to do it.  Not to walk by thinking, “I wonder if I should have done something about that?”  

“No, you should have done it and when you have and you go home and you think, “I’m glad I did that.”  It makes you feel good, because you know that you listened to your conscience.

“It is after all the words of your Creator trying to guide you into a better way of life for yourself and for your fellow beings.”

“Don’t forget.  It’s been said to you now.  It is so easy to walk away and forget what went on here this evening.  May you all go home with something special that you’ve learnt from the Spirit, who love you all so well. 

“God bless you all.”
