LIGHT FROM SILVER BIRCH (Published 1995) :

1. “There is a plan for every child of the Great Spirit. There are no accidents, no chances, no coincidences. Everything operates according to natural law which knows nothing of miracles or necessity for intervention. The natural law is perfect because it is conceived by perfect mind. (Light from Silver Birch (1995, p.9).

2. “You will not find spiritual truths when the sun is shining, if you are surrounded by riches, and wealth and possessions. You will not find spiritual truths when you have no problems. The catalyst will work only when you are in trouble … It is in the fire that the steel is forged. It is in the crushing process that the gold is refined and purified to emerge in all its glistening colour. And it is similarly for human spirit to be tried and tested again and again, before it can emerge with a greater divinity being expressed than had happened before.” (Light from Silver Birch p.11).

3. “People in your world talk about the mystery of suffering, the purpose of illness, the reason for crises, difficulties and obstacles. These are the challenges that the human soul must encounter because they provide first the catharsis and then the catalyst that will enable them to appreciate spiritual truth.” (ibid p.17).

4. “As low as any soul can sink so correspondingly can it rise. That is the law of polarity, the law which says action and reaction are equal and opposites. Hate and love, light and dark, storm and peace, these are opposite sides of the same coin.” (ibid p.17).

5. “We are engaged in a great war. There have been many skirmishes and battles. The foes we fight are greed, envy, selfishness, by products of the materialism that inflicts your world … We demonstrate the divine power of the spirit that emanates from the source of all being, the infinite creator. We demonstrate that death is a door which opens to reveal the wondrous life of the realms of the spirit.” (ibid p.20).

6.“Do not allow dismay or fear to effect a lodgment within your being. Fear is the child of ignorance; knowledge should always drive out fear. You have access to the mightiest power in the universe. It is more majestic than any power known in your physical world. It is the supreme power. You can allow it to stream through and perform its beneficent work.” (ibid p.22).

7. “Obviously the purpose of earthly incarnation is for the individual to have those experiences which will enable the soul to grow, unfold and develop, and to achieve that kind of progress that fits it for the next stage of life beyond the death of the body.” (ibid p.24)

8. “It is not in the sunshine that the soul finds itself, but in the storm. It is when the thunder rages and the lightning flashes. You must be sharpened, purged, refined. You must experience the heights and depths. You must have the variety of experiences that earth provides for you. In this way the spirit emerges stronger, fortified, ready for what awaits it when death comes. (ibid p.25).

9. “Generally it is considered advisable, where there is complete ignorance of spiritual truths, for an interval of three days to elapse before there is either burial or cremation,”(ibid p.31).

10. “Do not worry about anything. Worry blocks the channels by which help can come.” (ibid p.38).

11. “We have spheres or conditions of being that are graded according to the evolution of those who dwell in them. You reach that sphere for which you are spiritually ready, not higher, because that is impossible; not lower, because you would not desire it unless you wish to perform some missionary service.” (ibid p.49).

12. Problems you will always have. They are there because in solving them you grow. If there were no problems you would cease to be alive in any sense of he word. The soul comes into its own not in the sunshine but in the storm.” (ibid p.50).

13. “ … What I can teach you is how to face and conquer your problems. There is no difficulty or obstacle so large that you have no power, combined with ours, to overcome it. Even when I cannot communicate according to the fashion of your world I still am with you because the problems of space and time that encumber you do not apply to us. We can reach you wherever you are. We will continue to help you to the utmost limits of our strength.” (ibid p.50).

31. “You cannot cheat; you cannot lie; you cannot pretend. When you come here, the mask of earth is stripped away and you are known for what you are. All can perceive the spiritual stage you have reached.” (ibid p.56).

14. “Astral traveling. Actually, every one of you travels astrally when you go to sleep. Then your spirit, for the time being, departs from your body, roams into our world and meets souls you love and who love you. It is a divine provision by which preparation is made for the time when you come here, so that it will not be a shock. When you do come you will remember, and be ready for the many wonderful happenings that spirit life has to offer you. It could be said that you die every night.” (ibid p.58).

15. “Time itself has no past or future. Time is in the eternal present. It is only your relationship to time which makes your past and your future.” … “Time, as we know it does not exist for us. We live in what can best be described as eternal present. As far we are concerned the past and future are part of the eternal present .” (ibid p.59/60).

16. “Death is final when the silver cord is severed and the spirit body leaves the physical one. That is the only time when death occurs. When that severance has taken place, no medical man or woman can make that physical body live again.” (ibid p.84).

17. “Persons are persons so far as your world is concerned, but you cannot separate spirituality in the same way. There are, for example, affinities, two kindred halves of the one soul, and sometimes they incarnate at the same time.” (ibid p.86).

18. “Throughout the vast variety of the phenomena of nature, everything, small or large, simple or complex, follows the law of cause and effect. None and nothing can interrupt that sequence. If effect did not follow cause, your world, the universe and the vast cosmos would be chaotic. The Great Spirit, God, the Deity, the Supreme Power, would not be summit of love, wisdom and the perfection of all that exists.” (ibid p.96).

19. “It can be said of the vast majority of people in your world that there is far more goodness than badness, more virtue than vice, more honesty than dishonesty, more service than disservice, more altruism than selfishness.” (ibid p.97).

20. “Did you not hear me say there were no chances, no accidents, no coincidences, no miracles? All is due to the variation of natural law; this is another way of saying that cause and effect are part of an interchangeable sequence.” (ibid p.98).

21. “The power of the spirit has come to stay. None will be able to drive it away. No church, no synagogue, no chapel, no temple, no priest, no ecclesiastic, no religion will be able to prevent the power of the spirit from continuing to unfold and express itself in your world.” (ibid p.101).

22. “Spirit power is infinite. The amount that you receive depends on the stage of evolution you have reached. Increase your receptivity, and even more of the sublime power will stream through you to work its wonders, its beauty, its solace, its healing.” (ibid p.105)

23. “So when you meet difficulty do not despair. Treat it as the challenge which it is, knowing that within you and without there is the power that will enable you to succeed.” (ibid p.108-9).

24. “When you come to our world and look back, you will thank the Great Spirit for all the difficulties, and realise they were most important parts of your earthly life.” (ibid p.174).

25. “If you were puppets, marionettes, robots, your life would be meaningless and purposeless. There would be no evolution, no gradual growth towards perfection. It would become a kind of eternal limbo of nothingness. That is not the object. … I who have lived much linger than any of you have learned to regard with awe, wonder, respect and admiration the universal framework that divine perfection has created. Nothing can destroy the operation of laws that infinite intelligence devised.” (ibid p.181).

26. “Animals … You have needless cruelty and terror inflicted on innocent creatures in the false belief that through this vicious means health will be attained by humans. This is not true.”(ibid p.182).
