“If the knowledge of Spirit was understood by all the world as it really is, we would be hundreds of years advanced from where we are today. We, in human form, would not be making guns to kill one another. We would be caretakers for this world, and the world would be like a formal garden with Peace and Beauty all about, with the caretakers cultivating their gardens not for themselves, but for everyone, every creed and every color.

God, The Great Spirit, created this beautiful garden and put us here to care for it, but soon each group, each color, each race tried to separate from each other, creating strife, power, jealousy and greed.

The “sowers” became jealous of the “reapers” and soon the crops failed as the Original Creator of this garden started to fade from the minds of its caretakers. Within a time, each race, each color, each group had built a high wall around themselves, shutting themselves off from each other, moving farther from the Master’s Plan and finally turning away from care-taking to fighting among themselves. In time the garden became a battleground... no more beauty, no flowers, trees or singing birds... only the dead and dying, his Master’s garden was now a shamble.

And so God pondered over what to do with his creation that lay in smoking ruin...should he turn his back on this material Earth or should he make one more concession. “I’ll send a new kind of farmer, one who will have all the tools to work with, a farmer unlike any farmer that has ever walked the Earth.” He came endowed with spiritual seeds, he planted, and at harvest time he reaped what he had sown.

This time the “sowers” and “reapers” became jealous of the new farmer and his new tools and new seeds. So, they destroyed him, only to find out that by destroying him would cause one seed to germinate and would in time prove that he was the Great Farmer, the Great Teacher, and the Great Emancipator.

And again in history, Greed, Jealousy, Power took over the work that He started, and the seeds, the tools were deliberately hidden from the view of the world’s children, thus creating other seeds, other tools that leave us in the dark.

It is only when we turn away from man-made seeds and man-made tools, and go back to that Great Caretaker of old, known to us as Jesus, to use His tools to work the soil and plant His seeds; that we find ourselves walking in a beautiful garden, walking in a beautiful light and not fearing death and dying. For we know that death is only a transition to another world, another garden, and again, we are it’s care-takers.”

Spiritualist Church to Throw Out the Bible?

Rumors have drifted my way that some Spiritualists want to eliminate the Bible from their services. Throwing the Bible out of the Spiritualist Church is like throwing the baby out with the wash water. When a Spiritualist really understands their religion and their philosophy they can see and understand that the Bible is a history of Spiritualism. The Bible should mean more to a Spiritualist than it does to a member of any other man made religion.

In John 4:24, Jesus said, “God is Spirit.” He didn’t say that God was a Catholic, or Protestant or a member of any other religion. Today, there are more than eleven thousand religions on this earth, and very few, if any, discuss the psychic stream that flows oh so smoothly from the very first chapter of the Bible to the last.

As a person educated in the Gifts reads the second book of the Bible, he or she can clearly see that Moses became clairaudient and clairvoyant, when he had his first encounter with a Spirit.

 In Biblical days when a person addressed a Spirit person as “the Lord”, he or she was doing so as a sign of respect. The Bible is brimming with the Spirit communication--Spirit speaking to people living in the physical world.  Many verses of the Bible read: “the Lord came to me and said thus, and thus.” Everyone who heard the voice of “Lord” would be called “clairaudiant” today. Truth is like an ever-flowing river; it never runs dry. The psychic stream that flows through the Bible, is very evident to me, despite the efforts of the fourth century Bible editors who tried their best to cover it up, forcing it to run underground so the masses will not see it.

The Spiritualist Church should teach the people the real working of Spirit as it is found in the Bible, through the eyes and mind of a medium. The Spiritualist Church then and now have defaulted, on their responsibility to educate people in the Gifts of the Spirit, and therefore many people look down on a person that admits to being a Spiritualist.

The Bible is the capstone on the pyramid of all psychic literature. It is time that Spiritualists stand up and be counted, and know the truth, and the truth will set them free. The best friend that Orthodox religion ever had, is the self made devil, Lucifer, and Hell. These were created by theologians to use as a weapon to scare the people like a shepherd dog scares the sheep to fill the pews every Sunday and any other day the Church sets aside for a gathering of the flock, in other words another pay day. Without the devil, to scare the people, the churches would become empty rooms. Ever wonder why “brilliant people” are not religious? They have not allowed themselves to be brainwashed.

When each of us is born into the world, we are given an eternal candle, a small tight that has a potential to grow into a shining flame. Each individual or keeper of the light is solely responsible for his own flame, and the quality of its luminescence is dependent upon the deeds that are performed during the lifetime of the keeper.

We often light a wax candle in our home or in our temple or church, rather than lighting the torch that is within each of us. We strike a match to tight this candle, then walk away, hoping that the tight will do someone or something some good.

This year let each of us light the eternal flame that is within us. Let it shine out and touch everyone we meet. This will keep the flame glowing through out the whole year of 1986. Let us learn to love each other instead of judging each other. Learn to focus on the God light within your neighbor rather than concentrating on your neighbor faults or mistakes.

For as Jesus the Christ said in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 5, verse 16: "Let your tight shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

May Spirit always walk with you in the light.

The same conditions exist with the planting of knowledge such as the Gifts of the Spirit. Since planting the first seed in 1977, we have seen a most wonderful and abundant crop come forth. But we still need more planters to plant spiritual seeds.

The difference between the farmer who plants produce and the farmer who plants spiritual knowledge is the type of seed he uses. The produce farmer uses seeds from the previous crop to plant his new crop in the soil of the earth. He risks the chances of nature that will either yield the crop or cause it to fail before the harvest.

The Spiritual farmer uses only words of truth, words of love, words of understanding and knowledge as he plants his crop in the mind of his fellow man. The produce farmer must plant his seeds every year and tend the crops in order to have food for the flesh body. This food can only be stored up for a very limited time. But when the spiritual farmer properly plants his seeds in the mind of his fellow man, the food he yields will feed the soul, and spirit. This food nurtures all growth in this life and in the next life. When a man chooses to become a farmer, he begins a task that is not easy. He never knows whether the growing season will be wet or dry, hot or cold. This insurmountable job will take twelve to fifteen hours a day, without any time off.

It is important for every spiritual farmer to know that what comes out of your mouth is far more important that goes into your mouth. Every word you speak is a seed. A positive word or seed can grow and be nurtured in another’s mind and multiply love, brotherhood, and understanding for all. A negative word or seed can be destructive, and cause the undermining of all that is good. The seeds you plant, regardless of where you plant the, are your own. After they are released from you, and wander around in the world of either, they eventually seek out and return to their planter. So plant only the seeds you want in your own garden, and your world here will take on a better meaning. Plant spiritual seeds and the life beyond the grave will be most beautiful, simply because you have planted spiritual seeds, tended a spiritual crop, and have walked hand-in-hand with the angels and archangels who have walked the same path.
