This recording was made at a special sitting of the Anna Swatham [may be wrong as I couldn’t make the name out] home circle.

Sliver Birch speaks through one of the mediums and this is the transcript of that sitting.<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

�?May the power of the great white spirit bless you all.<o:p></o:p>

Let us follow our usual procedure and put on one side any thought of trouble, difficulty, fear or anxiety, let us try to achieve the closest possible harmony with one another so that we become one in our desire to aspire to the highest that we can reach and none and nothing, can be higher than the Great white spirit, the infinite power of divine love and wisdom.<o:p></o:p>

Which is respect for the boundless universe in which we live, and who’s intelligence has devised and sustains all the natural laws, that control and regulate over facet of being, whether mighty or minute, complex or simple, all operate according to inexcurable laws, that know no  possible exception.<o:p></o:p>

We pay tribute to this supreme power, which has revealed some of its wonderous truths, that have extended the boundaries of our minds and given us a greater comprehension of who, and what, we are and given us a clearer picture of the supreme power, that, breatheth through all, and reigneth over all. And in this wondrous scheme, nothing and nobody can be overlooked, forgotten or neglected.<o:p></o:p>

Care has been taken to sustain and provide every facet, of being no matter where it may be.<o:p></o:p>

We recognise too, that we have, behind us all the time, the mighty hosts of liberated beings who’s one desire is to serve us, so that we in turn may serve others, less fortunate than we are, because we have been helped and comforted, and guided.<o:p></o:p>

Let us always resolve that we may unfold whatever gifts have been bestowed upon us, so that we can give solace to the bereaved, healing to the sick, guidance to the perplexed, strength to the weary, direction to all those who have lost their way, and provide the illumination of truth in the darkness, that engulfs them.<o:p></o:p>

This is the prayer of thy Indian servant who seeks always to serve.<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

I am very happy to come amongst you and to bring my love and greetings from the world of spirit.<o:p></o:p>

I am aware I am aware of the special purpose of our gathering tonight, and so I thought it might be helpful if I would try to explain to those who will hear these words, the purpose, behind my mission, and those of my colleagues, who are animated by the same desire.<o:p></o:p>

To the uninitiated, I would say, I am a human being, like yourselves, I have lived much longer than any of you that, are listening to what I say,<o:p></o:p>

and as a result of my experiences in the realms far beyond your Earth.<o:p></o:p>

I have sound knowledge of the Great spirit, that you call God, and of the natural laws that have been devised to ensure, that the will of the Great spirit, will and must, ultimately prevail.<o:p></o:p>

What I have learnt of a result of my experiences, I am willing to share, with those who are ready to receive them, because I think they may be of helpfulness to them.<o:p></o:p>

I am not in anyway a diety, I am still very human, capable of error, weakness and imperfection.<o:p></o:p>

I have, like everyone of you, a long, long way to go, on the road to perfection, it is an infinite one, but, like others in my world, I was asked to retrace my steps, so that I can offer some of the truths, the wisdom and the knowledge that we have gained, and share it with you.<o:p></o:p>

At the same time, we would be able, with the aid of those who co-operate with us, to make available, the Supreme power of the spirit, which is responsible for all life, despite its multitudinous forms.<o:p></o:p>

So that this power can stream, through gifted individuals and serve its benign purpose, in olden days, when this power flowed, it performed certain remarkable phenomena, which many today regard as miracles.<o:p></o:p>

I want to say that in the operation of natural law, they cannot be suspended or abbrigated, and must fulfil themselves in an ordered sequence, as effects follows course, whatever has happened, however remarkable, stupifying, extraordinary or wonderful in days gone by, it was due to the operation of natural laws, these operate not only in the physical domain, but, also work ceaselessly, in the spiritual realms,  and, when conditions allow, the Spiritual, Psychic, astral and Etheric laws can be brought into operation, to perform as what was regarded as miracles yesterday, are today described as psychic phenomena, produced through mediumship.<o:p></o:p>

No medium is one, on which there has been bestowed the gifts of the spirit which are ably decribed by the Apostle Paul in your bible.<o:p></o:p>

These gifts are divinely bestowed as their recipients unfold them, are able to be used, as channels, for the benign beneficience, to flow through them, all the phenomena of mediumship are due to the operation of the spirit power. So that today you are witnessing, exactly  the same manifestations, which occurred in lands that were called Holy and regarded as sacred.<o:p></o:p>

The Great spirit does not change, the natural laws do not alter, they are in operation, now, by virtue of the fact that I, who once inhabited your world, am able to speak to you through a medium, by utilising the power of spirit.<o:p></o:p>

I want to explain also that we are part of a vast Spirit organisation and we are pursuing what I would like to describe as the overall master plan, which is designed to ensure that the power of the spirit will continue to express itself in your world, and reach an ever increasing number of people, to drive away their ignorance, error and superstition, and to bring them into the radiant light of divine truth and knowledge, so that they can begin to live and fulfil themselves as they should according to the purpose of their Earthly incarnation.<o:p></o:p>

The power of the spirit has constantly flowed into your world from time immemorial, its descent, however, was only temporary and sporadic, the wonders that were worked, the signs that were given, the same truths that were pronounced, were each time made available to the people of that day, then there was decay, there was tampering with the knowledge, that had been revealed for political, theological, and sometimes state purposes.<o:p></o:p>

Now, however, now the power of the spirit, because of the overall plan to which I have refered, is here to stay in our world.<o:p></o:p>

Why? Because it is vitaly neccessary to do so.<o:p></o:p>

So may systems have failed to provide the direction which will enable the people to dwell on Earth, to find themselves and to live according to ideals and enable this divinity which gave them life to express itself.<o:p></o:p>

The Spirit has to be made prominent in the lives of all who dwell on Earth it is a very dark world in which you live, it is full of turbulence, violence, greed, envy.<o:p></o:p>

Namon is being worshipped instead of the great spirit, false idols are still the subject of adoration.<o:p></o:p>

The evidence which is available to you, will, if  your reasonable, convince you that life, because it is Spiritual in essence, cannot end when death comes to the physical body.<o:p></o:p>

Matter is only the Husk, the Spirit is the reality.<o:p></o:p>

Matter exists only because Spirit animates it, when Spirit the life force, withdraws, matter crumbles into dust, but the spirit that is the individual, does not crumble into dust, the spirit is immortal, it cannot die.<o:p></o:p>

Death is its second birth, its first came, when it was born into your world and began to manifest itself through a physical body.<o:p></o:p>

The second birth comes when the spirit says farewell to the physical body and continues in unbroken sequence, its eternal birth, on the road of infinite progress.<o:p></o:p>

You cannot die, life is deathless, so there is the evidence that you, an individual, immortal spirit will continue after the death of your body and everything that constitutes your individuality will persist, you will have consciousness, awareness, memory, power to reason and to express love, for love is an aspect of the Great Spirit.<o:p></o:p>

Love in its highest form is divine, and love too, like life, is deathless.<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

WHY? DO WE COME BACK TO YOU?<o:p></o:p>

It would be easy to say farewell forever to Earth with all its heartaches, its problems, its sufferings, its trials, its difficulties, but we love you, and there are others who are bound to you, by ties of love just as strong.<o:p></o:p>

The marriage service, performed in your churches, refers to the existence, of the marriage until death parts the man and his wife.<o:p></o:p>

If spiritually they are not united, they are parted before death comes, if there is love, there is nothing that will ever separate them.<o:p></o:p>

Love is a mighty force, in the universe, it is love that is expressed by all the advanced beings in our world, whose only desire is to serve you.<o:p></o:p>

We seek nothing for ourselves, we require no worship, no adoration, no gratitude, if we succeed in helping, all we ask is that you express your thanks to the Great Spirit and because of what you have received, try to serve others.<o:p></o:p>

The greed of your world must be replaced by love, because love is an expression of the spirit, love has many aspects, compassion, service, friendship, co-operation, you are ALL parts of one another, whoever you are, and wherever you may be.<o:p></o:p>

Colour, class, nationality, language, these constitute only physical differences, Spiritually you are all members of one another.<o:p></o:p>

You make up the vast human/spiritual family because, the common link of the spirit binds you all to one another, with a tie that cannot be broken, just as it binds you all to the Great Spirit, the Spirit that is stronger than the physical differences, that separates you from one another.<o:p></o:p>

You have to allow that Spirit to express itself to its fullest capacity, you must learn self regeneration, you must forget self, in so far as being materialistic in desire is concerned.<o:p></o:p>

This is not to say that you must overlook, that  what are your physical needs, that must sustain the body which is the temple of the Spirit.<o:p></o:p>

Equally however, you must tend and care for all the attributes of the Spirit, which is the eternal you.<o:p></o:p>

You must allow the divinity in you to attain its fullest expression, so that you practice the Brotherhood and Sisterhood, which is a natural fact of your being.<o:p></o:p>

The soul is not black, yellow, white or red, the soul has no colour or racial bar.<o:p></o:p>

This is what you have to learn and to practice, superiority comes only when you unfold the divinity within you, and it expresses itself in love and compassion, and consideration, not only for all the other humans in your world, but for the animals who share this planet with you.<o:p></o:p>

You must abolish needless cruelty and exploitation everywhere, peace will come when you put into practice, the facts that appertain to your Spiritual origin and destiny, in everything I say, I am governed by the desire to be helpful to bring some understanding, some knowledge, some truth, some wisdom into your lives.<o:p></o:p>

It is possible, that the principles that we inunciate may be contrary to some theological ideas of doctrines and dogmas and creeds, on which you have been nurtured from childhood days.<o:p></o:p>

Our appeal is directed to your reason, if there is anything we say or do, that insults your intelligence or makes your reason revolt, do not accept it.<o:p></o:p>

We desire to win your reason, your intelligence, so that you may co-operate with us and be instruments of the Great Spirit, in, insuring that the divine will, must prevail……�?.Sliver Birch. <o:p></o:p>
