"The world is indeed in great turmoil at this time.

"Not only are there natural disasters occurring all around the globe, but there is unrest and unsettlement.

"The masters have asked too much of their charges and the people are beginning to have the courage to stand up and demand what is their right.

"For too long dictators and leaders have not thought about the people, but have thought about themselves and what they can make out of it.

"You only have to look at the presidential palaces around the world – in Iraq, in Egypt, in Ancient China.

"The people, the true working people like we all are, have had a very, very rough deal.

"For a long time religions have persecuted other belief systems.  Tolerance was a word not in their dictionary.

"In Christianity a lot of churches have forgotten who gave them the name of Christian.

"Jesus said, "Go out and heal."

"So few churches, for all their might and their towers and their spires and their expensive robes and their vast amounts of money that they have tucked away, are not allowing healing of the people within those houses.

"The countries that are so dependant on the bishops and the upper echelons have children running around without shoes on their feet, so many without food and water and shelter.

"Yet in the higher places you don't see many 'skinny' bishops.  They have enough, but do the people have enough.

"This has got nothing to do with Communism.  I am talking about equality.  We all come down here with certain rights.

"A right to have enough food, to have shelter, to have water, to be able to do enough to make a living and yet there are so many instances where poverty and squalor abound, even in very rich nations and those held by certain religions.

"It is very easy to stand here and criticise.  I do not want you to think that I am against all people who rule in whatever form, because there are some wonderful genuine people.

"Mandela is back from hospital – may he live for many years.  Maria Teresa in Calcutta – we all have our favourites, who have done so much to help to balance the equality of people and wealth.

"Wealth on this earth plane is really of such limited use, such limited value.  The old expression, "You can't take it when you go" is so true.

"It is far more difficult for those who have a lot to deal with it properly to help others.  Some people do, most do not.

"But we all need a certain level to exist.  We all need enough and while this world is sorting itself out with a lot of guidance from the Laws of Cause and Effect, which at last are turning in favour of the people, when they have enough courage to stand up and say, "Enough is enough."

"When these things happen and when the economies of the world are not looking so clever and when we all need help and guidance, please let us remember that the little things that we do are enough.

"We don't have to make big waves unless you came in a Roller tonight in which case you have more substance, therefore your waves can be larger and should be larger.

"But, as normal down to earth people, look after your friends and your neighbours and your family – don't walk by on the other side.

"You will find it very crowded.  Most people are walking by on the other side.

"There aren't enough people on this side, who will give a little time, a little help, a little guidance to the many and growing numbers of people who need a helping hand.

"Look into your hearts at those moments, when you are thinking, "Oh, I can't stop and do anything I have got to be at shops, I have got to pick up the children from school, I've got to be at work.  I can't stop to help that person."

"As you rush on just stop and think, "Am I doing the right thing?  Am I really doing what Master Jesus was talking about – what he preached?  What my Creator put me down here to do?"

"Let us all look within ourselves and see that we are doing the right thing, so that when we come out of body and we go to this life review that will be put in front of us that we are not going to be frightened of it.

"We won't have got all things right, but at least we will have tried our best.  No even 'God' asks us to do more than we are able to do.

"God bless you all."

The Chalice of Light, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

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 The Chalice of Light in Tunbridge Wells, Kent on Sunday, 23rd January 2011

"The new life is just around the corner.

"We know it is there, because we know that we can do better and when we have got rid of those difficulties that are holding us back – relationship, exams, a relative who we have to give time to to look after.

"When we can move these things out of the way, we know we will turn a corner and lead a better life and be able to help more people, have some time for ourselves and do all those things that we really want to do, but we are much too busy in this modern world rushing around doing things of that have been forced on us.

"They may have been forced on us by our own mistakes and our own errors. They may just have been put there to see how we cope.

"A lot of people are going through a lot of situations at the moment that they thought that they would never have to put up with – redundancies, a mortgage to pay, another child on the way. How are these things going to work out?

"We always seem to be looking forward at a mountain that we have to climb and when we get to the top we are certain that we are going to look out over the promised land into that new life, but so often when we get there, there is another mountain ahead of us.

"It is as though 'God' is playing tricks on us. "Look, they have cleared all that space in their lives, now how are they going to cope with that?"

"So something else comes in our way. This new life, which is round the corner, we can't quite get to it.

"The street almost seems to be made of elastic or to put it another way, the carrot on the end of a stick is getting further and further away, the faster we go towards it.

"But that is life. We didn't come down here to have an easy time. We think that we want an easy time, but if our minds could clear and we would be allowed to see why we came and what we set out to do, then perhaps we would understand why we are going through these terrible things.

"Everybody when they pass, when they come out of body and into the next spirit level, I am quite sure that we will all be able to talk to each other and say, "Tell me about your life.

"Good heavens, all these things that you have been through and I have been through those and there are an awful lot of equal signs."

"They come in a different order. They come in different magnitudes, but we all lose people that we love. We all have health issues.

"Why on earth should I be struck down with that? Why should Uncle Tom be suffering? Why is that poor dear, who is ninety-five and has been ready for the last twenty-five years, she only wanted to go because her husband went before her.

"She has passed her sell by date. We all feel a bit like that sometimes. I had a magical birthday last month. I know it was a magical birthday because it had a nought on the end. (Laughter)

"But it didn't make any difference. I didn't feel any different the night before or the night afterwards. I am still old and wrinkly and tired and aching and wish that I could have an easier path to go down.

"I am very fortunate, because whatever else I haven't got I have love in my life. Jenny and I are rich beyond compare because we love each other and everything we do we go through together.

"Not everybody has that and we both had two goes at it before we got involved together, so it's not easy. We were brought together – spiritually we were brought together.

"We know because my previous wife told me and showed me a picture of Jenny eighteen months before we met. Six months after she died I saw this lady and was told that we would meet and that we would marry.

"And Jenny's guide Mustafa told her fifteen months before we met that this man was going to come into her life and she said, "Well how am I going to find him?"

He said, "Don't worry. He will ring up and walk up to your front door."

"This is exactly what I did, because I had been recommended to have a sitting with her.

"We have to recognise that on this bumpy road, rather like walking through the dessert I imagine, there is always a sand dune in front of you and when you clamber up there is another one and the oasis isn't in sight.

"But you know there is one, because there has to be one. If there is no oasis, if there is no pot of gold, if there is no afterlife, we are wasting our time down here.

"All the experiences that we are going through – the hurt and the heartache, it is not just to make us better people. It is so that we can help other people and say, "I know what you going through. It's like this. I've been there. I had a drug problem".

"It doesn't have to be cannabis. It can be alcohol or tobacco. They are still drugs, in excess they are dangerous.

"We have all lost somebody who we love and it is very, very difficult to fill that void. Suddenly you are on your own and half your body's gone.

"If I lost Jenny I don't think I would cope. I've lost my wife previously. We were very close and it took a long time to come to terms with the fact that I had lost her earthly love.

"It took me a long time to realise that I still had her spiritual love, because we still think in the physical. We are still a little mind, our existence within this physical body, tightened up and we can't expand it until we leave this body.

"Then I believe we go into a spirit world, where our minds can expand and all those things that we've saved and can't see and can't understand at this time will become apparent to us.

"We will be able to look back at our lives. Rather like a period in school. We have various lessons that we have to learn, things that we have to go through and when we look back later on, I believe that we will be able to understand what we went through, why we went through it and what we were supposed to do down here to make a difference to all those other souls who we meet on this pathway.

"Most are struggling to go up these hills. Most are hoping that there is a new life around the corner. Of course there is a new life around the corner.

"There is a better life around the corner, but we have to take that first step towards it and grab it and say, "I am going to be better."

"Not when all these things happen, when the breakthrough occurs, when the miracle comes into my life - when I win the Lottery, when suddenly this handsome man sweeps me off to the Bahamas for the rest of my life.

"When I have all these things then I can be good, then I can help and once I have time, once I have paid the mortgage off, once I've finished at school.

"Whatever those things are, it's no good waiting. You have got to take the first step and be brave enough to speak to our guides, to the Lord Jesus, to 'God' Almighty, who ever you send out your thoughts to.

"I don't say 'prayers', because some people in this day and age deny saying prayers.

"It's religious. I don't have anything to do with religion. I'm spiritual. I don't need the Church."

"It doesn't matter. It's the same thing, the same theme – if you are lying in bed, if you are kneeling at the altar, if wherever you are, you are sending out your thoughts to the Universe and they do go out.

"Thoughts continue on, as far as I know forever more. They go through the Universe, they go to the guides and they go to the Creator, the great wisdom, the great love that we all acknowledge.

"In our heart of hearts we know that he is there, because it is unthinkable that he should not be there and we are all wasting our time down here trying to live a good life – and then the undertaker takes us away and that's it.

"What an awful waste of time. It's like going on holiday and sitting in the bedroom all the time with the curtains drawn saying. "Oh I don't want to go out there I might not like it."

"You have got to get out there. You have got to see what is out there for you. You have got to take your opportunities, because all these hills and mountains which we have to go up are opportunities to make us better, so we can help more people and understand with them what the negative fears and anxieties in this world are all about.

"Because in the next life, in the new life, when we have our spirit bodies and we have reached that place that by and large is called the 'Summerland', because it's always perfect, it's always summer because we are all living in the life force of the Creator.

"There everybody loves everybody else and can see what they have done and what they are. What they have achieved – not badges, no tick boxes, but just, "You did well. You did all those things.

"I wish I had done as many. I wish I had been as good. I wish I had achieved more."  Now is the time to achieve, when things are hardest.

"Don't give up. Ask for help and help others. Bless each other. Hold each other up. You can get there. 'God' didn't allow us to come down here just to waste time.

"Take his love, his wisdom and use it. Make a difference in your lives, so that the place is better because you came and think of all those people who are going through much worse things than we are.

"Queenslanders who have lost their homes, Sri Lanka they have had floods and South America, where there are natural disasters.

"Haiti is still trying to get over a year back. I wouldn't be surprised if in New Orleans they haven't yet got their lives back yet.

"We are doing quite well really. If we have a roof over our heads, have enough food, got enough water and we are loved, then really we have got enough to put out our hands to everybody and say, "Can I help?"

"Don't let that old lady fall on the banana skin. It's not funny to her. Give her a helping hand, because you never know the following day you may need that helping hand and you've earned yourself a Brownie point and there will be an angel to hold you up.

"Look on the bright side. Things could be worse. They probably will be, but then we have more to achieve together as one.

"God bless you all."

Dorking Awareness in Surrey

The PHILOSOPHY of RED CLOUD

Michael's Higher Guide and Mentor, Red Cloud,

painted by Jenny Ayers

Given as an Address by Michael Ayers at a Demonstration at Dorking Awareness at Dorking in Surrey on Friday, 10^th September 2010

"The whole point of existence is to follow a pathway collecting experiences along the way and progressing back to our Creator who gave us life.

"That sounds very simple, but as you all know it is a very hard and bumpy road, so our Creator gave us, each and every one of us, a little piece of himself, which is within and which you may call it your mind, your consciousness, your essence, whatever.

"It is a homing beacon back to him.

"It is in the quietness, moments like we have just had, that you allow Spirit to come to you and you listen and you trust and you do what they say.  Then the road is not nearly as bumpy as it would otherwise be.

"There are a great deal of people who don't listen, who turn their back on God, the Great International Universal Creative Force.

"He is not a gentleman on a high throne with a gavel saying, "You have been bad.  You go down.  You can stay."

"The days of the Roman judgement are over, except in Rome amongst certain denominations.  God is a word for good.  That is what is important.

"He is not a person who you can dial up or go online and ask questions about.  That is not necessary.

"Beyond our existence here on this earth plane, there are very many people who have walked it, as we are doing now, who have taken thousands of  years of experience to become guides and helpers, so that our road is not so bumpy.

"If we turn away and don't listen, that's fine.  We have that choice.  We have that free will.

"We don't have to do it, but the whole point is that with that little bit of essence within us, that homing beacon, we cannot ignore it forever.

"Forever is a very, very long time.  People may ignore it in this lifetime on this earth plane, but when they step out of body and move into the next stage of this journey, they will have to face the difficulties and realities of how they led their lives.

"I am not going to go into frightening people and say, "Whoa!  You deliberately gave the milkman sixpence short the other day and you didn't chase after him and tell him, therefore you are going down to hell.

"No!  What is important is to live your lives with the right intentions and to always try and do what is best.

"Sometimes the Law of the Land is an ass.  There are always moments when things that are supposed to go that way and you think, "If I do it that way, then the repercussions are going to be that and that isn't right."

"So it is the intentions, and the healers who are here amongst you will know that it is not the time that you spend putting your hands on somebody that channels the great healing force, it is the intention with which you do it – that you want them to get well.

"Jesus was not able to heal everybody.  There are many stories where he 'failed' to heal but one is reminded by the ten lepers who came and asked for healing.

"He knew that although he would have the right intentions their faith in him was not quite strong enough.

"He said, "Go on your way.  Go to the High Priest and show yourself to the High Priest and you will be cured."

"He knew, because he was one of the greatest mediums the world has  seen.  He was told clairaudiently or clairvoyantly that they were not ready.

"But as they went on the journey, their courage and their faith would get stronger and they would go and they would suddenly find that they had been healed of this hideous disease.

"Of the ten, one came back to praise God and to say, "Thank you."

"He invited Jesus and his disciples to his home and he gave them a meal.  He thanked them all and God that he was no longer a leper.

"The point of that story, which is so important, is that when we get help.  We must recognise that help and we must say, "Thank you" and we mustn't be ungrateful, because it is important to recognise the evidence that we are given.

"It takes time on this journey and some people are in a different places on their journey.  Some people, you might think, are further ahead spiritually, but that isn't so.

"Because we are all in different places, we are all where we are meant to be and we are all experiencing the opportunities that are placed in our path.

"If we would look at them as an opportunity, as a chance, to move on to get it right and feel that glow that we feel within when we know that you have done something right.  There is nothing wrong with that.

"You don't allow your ego to go bubbling up and say, "Whoopee!  Look at what I have done.  I've given the church some money, put up a plaque for me!"

"No, that's not going to help.  But within you, you know that you helped that old lady because she was struggling.  You go away feeling, "I got that right.  I have got another Brownie point up in my box in Heaven!"

"Since I mentioned Heaven, perhaps I could explain from my point of view what Heaven is and where it is.

"You won't find it on any great map, the great galactic map.  "Oh, there's the planet Heaven, it's a long way off!"  No, it's not you know!

"Heaven is very, very close to us all and if you read or listen to the great teachers of which Jesus was one, and there are many others of other denominations, who I am not going to talk about tonight because I understand Jesus' teaching the most.

"But if you are from a different sector, don't think I am being biased.  If you look at the teaching from all these people, these great prophets who have come down, they are all saying the same thing.

"Mankind is interpreting them in many different ways and this is the problem – so often people think, "I've got it right!  I am going to be saved.  I am going to sit up with God.  A pity about you lot, you don't know.  You haven't got it right."

"You must be generous.  You must understand that nobody has a right to go and be with God until they have fulfilled everything which is necessary – all those experiences that you have in this lifetime on this earth – to move on.

"Heaven is attainable to each and every one of you here and now.

"It is a state of mind, which you can only bring to yourself in pureness of thought and of the deed and to think of others and not be frightened to have anything that you may loose.

"Jesus was crucified and stripped bare of everything he had except that little piece of God that he took with him and he came to show us that it is possible.

"We don't need all the materialistic things that we think we do.  Sure we need some of them.  We need our car to get home tonight.  That is not wrong, but we use it for the right reasons.

"So thank you for listening to me.  I hope you found something in the words that have been spoken here that have caused you to think.

"Perhaps in a slightly different way, so that you can make decisions to help you to move on and to go towards that state of mind, which we all try and achieve - Heaven on Earth within ourselves.

"God bless you all."

The Chalice of Light, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

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 the Chalice of Light at Tunbridge Wells in Kent on Sunday, 5^th September 2010

"I want to ask you this evening a question, which perhaps you will spend the rest of your life on this planet pondering and trying to answer.

"Are you afraid of going to heaven?

"Because if you are not, you are either there and very saintly or you are very arrogant and think you have already got a bus pass to our Creator's future place for us.

"Heaven is not something you can find on the map of the Universe.  Heaven is a state of mind in which you live.

"Jesus taught us to strive to find Heaven upon Earth.  It is not a distant place.  It is a reality in which we exist.

"Now if we are afraid of anything, being late for work in the morning, not having done our homework, what the solicitor is going to say to us.

"Whatever is out there for us, there are things of which we are afraid, because we don't know what the answers are.

"Very often when we go and meet them head on, they are not as bad as we feared, but fear is a dark emotion.

"Fear is negativity and like the darkness it can only be driven out by light and light is love and we are made, each and every one of us, in our Creator's love.

"He has put within us a little piece of himself, which we call perhaps our soul, our mind, our essence, our very being.  That is the greatest gift that we will ever receive, because it has given us existence.

"That existence lasts for ever more.  We are confined in our earthly mind and we cannot expand it enough to appreciate the vastness of eternity – the vastness of this Universe.

"If you look up on a clear night and you see the stars that go on and on out of sight, because there are so many and they go so far.  That is where we live – in that great Universe.

"Heaven is not one of those stars.  Heaven is a state in which we exist and live and create for ourselves a future, which will be heavenly if we get it right.

"Therefore I suggest to you that there is every reality within us to be frightened of not achieving that state of mind, either here or in the next world or in the many other lives we will live in other worlds.

"Not reincarnations but steps, you can't get from this earth plane directly on a bus that is going to take you straight to God.

"It's a very long journey and we will have to take it in steps through many lifetimes in many places out in that great Universe in the hope that one day we will make it and we will become a part of that Creative Force who gave us life.

"In order to achieve that, to find this oneness with God ,our Creator, we have to let go of everything that we have.

"Somebody once said, "Don't ever cling on to something that you are not prepared to let go."

"Don't be frightened to loose any of your great possessions, because if you are they will hold you back.

"We all have things which are important to us.  We all have things that we wouldn't like to see as a space on the shelf, because they have gone.

"If they are sufficient that we are afraid to loose whatever those things are, then how can we move on?

"How can we attain a heavenly state?  How can we be able to help that person across the road, if we are afraid of their reaction to us going up and grabbing them by the arm and saying, "Look, be careful."

"We have to open ourselves into a state of being when we are worthy to be looked upon by the Creator who gave us life and Jesus came down to this Earth to live a life helping other people, with no possessions but his heavenly gifts to show us how to do it.

"He, in his mind, created heaven on Earth and this is where we need to all try and go, if we are going to find that transition out of this body, because the time will come when we will die, because we are born we have to die.

"But that death is only a rebirth into the next place, so I ask you to think about it.

"Are you afraid of going to heaven?

"Let the love come into your minds.  Our minds are just a ball of thought and if we keep those thoughts positive, you will rise and will be uplifted.  Allowing the fear and the negativity then we fall and we can't do what we know we should do.

"So think about it in those quiet moments and be strong and push fear aside.  Ask for help.

"Jesus is with each and every one of us and many in Spirit help us on this difficult journey.

"Thank you.  God bless you all."

Seaford, East Sussex

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 the Seaford Independent Spiritualist Church at Seaford in East Sussex on Thursday, 12^th August 2010

"You must always remember that God loves us all.  He does not allow us to come down to the Earth under the heavy negativity of the earth plane to be bored.

"In this life there is no opportunity to sit around and think, "What on Earth am I going to do today?"  It is difficult enough fitting everything in to please God. 

"There is so much that is needed to do and those words of Francis of Assisi that we have just sung, "Make me a channel of thy peace" – if only all upon this earth plane would take those words and try and bring peace into every situation that is presented to them.

"We all fail.  Peace is not something that happens only between Nations.  Peace is an understanding, an unconditional love, between two people – any two people.

"Not just your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your mother, your father, your husband, your wife – anybody.

"We have a responsibility to each other to try and bring peace into the hearts and minds of our neighbours, many of whom we do not even know, but who might be grateful for at least a smile as you pass them in the street.

"At least a little understanding if their dog barks a little too loud.  We are all a little too ready to think about us.  That awful Americanism, "Think of number one!"

"No, put number one last and think of all those others that you affect, that you meet, that you pass many times a day, millions of times throughout your life and often you don't realise, or perhaps I should say we don't realise, that we are too busy rushing by on our own road to notice those who are travelling with us,

"All are trying to make ends meet, not only in financial terms, but in mental terms by keeping their energies straight and to the point and not hurting others.

"There are many givers in this world, but there are not enough.  There are far more takers – people who are happy to put out their hands and receive and give nothing back, sometimes not even a thank you.

"But we, with spiritual hearts and minds, know that we are here to help.  Not to pour our love and our efforts into the sand like a glass of water in the desert, but look around and see where we can most help.  Who is in most need?

"Because we are all here to learn and those that are brought to us we must recognise.  Let us try and do something about it.

"Let us try and not walk by on the other side and let somebody else do it, a mistake we do well.  I'm not going to bother.  Why should I put myself out?

"Because the time will come for all of us when we are in need of that helping hand and if we have never put out a hand to help another, why should we receive God's love and spirit?

"We all have things that are given to us – time, opportunity, that ear, that shoulder.  Let us all do what we can and hope that when our time comes, when we put out a thought and say, "Please.  I can't cope with this alone."

"Then the great World of Spirit will send to us that helping hand, that wonderful ray of love that shows us that we are not alone and that we are all looked after, if only we would recognise it and say, "Thank you."

"God bless you all."
