Paul, I am here Book One
Our Story
The winter of 1982/3 was very special for a number of people who were brought together for the first time in a circle. The way they were brought together maybe seen as coincidental but this was not so. The group who are referred to collectively as the Nucleus were brought together not by accident but by purpose. That purpose will become clear to the reader as we proceed. The leader of the circle was hopeful that we would, at some stage, be able to talk to those who dwell in the spheres of spirit. Many of us were excited at this prospect but also concerned, even sceptical that the leaders hope would be fulfilled. The Nucleus even as strangers felt comfortable with each other. The comfort grew into spiritual harmony, different instruments but blending as a chord of music.
It was the third occasion of our meetings together that our group was completed by the arrival of our teacher Paul. After several minutes on that occasion we noticed that one of our group was breathing in a sonorous manner as if in a deep sleep. A few more minutes passed and and with the exception of the deep breathing all else was quiet and tranquil. A voice which sounded comforting and beautiful said “ I am Here “ Seconds passed in astonishment before one member responded by saying “ Welcome “. Paul our teacher had arrived and he replied with “At lasts somebody speaks to me “. Another member followed this up by saying we were both privileged and happy adding “Would you give us your name? “ He replied “I am Paul, I am here to teach “.
The teachings, thoughts and considerations in the book bear no witness or discipline to any one particular path or direction. They neither advocate nor decry any one philosophy or religion. The foundation of our intent, action and commitment is of love and sharing. We all have something to share; we are all parts of a great spiritual family.
Coming together in respect and love allows hearts and minds to be as one, as the raindrop which drops into the mighty ocean. This mighty ocean affords us a new and breathtaking beautiful view which can then be our future.
In order to help inform our readers we feel there is a need to explain the method of communication used to bring the teachings from the spheres of spirit to the world of earth. The method used is known as trance mediumship and was achieved using the medium in a deep trance state. In a phrase used elsewhere in “ I am here “ , it is From, Through, To.
We need also to distinguish the content and intent of the book from that which is known as spiritualism and in particular clairvoyance. The important of this work is to give comfort and reassurance from loved ones who have passed into spirit to their recipients remaining on earth. It also gives personal guidance for ones earth journey.
The teachings we present in “I am here “are spiritual truths which are enshrined within the “ Eternal Law “ to which our teacher refers often.
The reader will also perceive that the teachings were obtained through a question and answer method, although at times there were addresses by the teacher on subjects relevant to earth, some of these being deeply troubling and serious for earth. The questions, often naively presented were answered in such a way as to stretch our minds and intellect. Indeed there are some answers some 35 years later which we are just understanding on a different level.
These teachings we now wish to share with you. They are we feel important, not only for individual progress through knowledge and awareness, but vital for the future of mankind. We say this not to be sensational or attention seeking, but in a sincere and honest attempt to point the way forward in an earth world- which our teacher has described as barbaric. He has also taught us that man on earth needs to conquer three things;- Ignorance, fear and self. The greatest of these being ignorance. It is our earnest wish that the book entitled “ I am here “, takes the first giant step in achieving this.
“If I give you knowledge you, for knowledge is for sharing and growth and you do not earn it, I give you less than nothing. If I give you knowledge and you earn it, it is yours forever”.
With these words our teacher set the framework for our journey. It is a journey which is available to all to join.
The keynote of all these teachings is love, for it is love which is the very essence of the world to which you and I return once our journey here on earth comes to an end.
With so many institutions on earth crumbling, religions clashing, social cohesion at risk and perhaps most importantly inequality which still exists and is indeed rampant throughout the world , may knowledge , truth and awareness light the pathway ahead.
Introduction to Book.
There are many ways one can be inspired to learn, many ways to quench our thirst. It is the wise student however who looks beyond the teachings, and even the teacher to the source which feeds the river of wisdom and love.
You may well have heard the story of the student and the master who points to the stars, the student is so dedicated to his master and looks only at him and his pointing finger. The master says study not me but lift your eyes and heart to the heavens. What we are saying here is if you can adopt an attitude of vision of unlimited perspective and openness. You may not even believe in the method that we received our teachings and that is really Ok, what we ask though is that you read on and if you like try these teachings on as you would a new coat see how they suit you, see how they fit with your perception and your heart . There is no rigidity or dogma here, nothing that you have to give or give up. You make the path by your need, all we offer is what we feel maybe of use to you upon this your incredible beautiful journey.
Who is Paul?
There may be many people who will ask “Who is Paul “? This is a question upon which the circle have themselves pondered and indeed placed before Paul.
We know little of his lives upon Earth. That which we do know came from his address to us in the early years when responding to our enquiry. To this he replied: “I was Lama in Tibet, I passed at 92 “. He also responded to another question by saying that he was a Lama teacher.
Paul has on several occasions and with conviction reminded us that to attempt to define him is taking us away from the purpose of the teachings. That purpose is for us, meaning mankind, to understand ourselves in order to replace the ignorance and fear which is prevalent on earth with love, knowledge and awareness. We, the nucleus of the circle*, know with absolute certainty the truth of this enlightened message through his teachings. Therefore when you have read this book and the book(s) which are to follow you will hopefully also realise the veracity of this message.
“I am nothing “, Paul has said. “ You are therefore it shall be “he added. Therefore to attempt to define him, though understandable, is both unnecessary and without purpose.
Please allow the following thought to be your guiding light: - Paul is part of us, you and I. We are part of him.
*The word circle refers to the many people who attended our meetings over the years 1983-2011. The nucleus refers to the constant and original members from the early 1980’s. Of the original nine members seven are still alive on earth and two have joined our teacher and the greater circle in the spheres of spirit.
Dedications
To all who have helped us
And to all who would be helped
To all who feed us
And to all who would be fed
May openness and love, courage and wisdom
Be your constant companions
In Regards to Spiritualists and Spirituality
In order to help inform our readers we feel there is a need to explain the method of communication used to bring the teachings from the spheres of spirit to the world of earth. The method used is known as trance mediumship and was achieved using the medium in a deep trance state. In a phrase used elsewhere in “I am here “, it is From, Through, To.
We need also to distinguish the content and intent of the book from that which is known as spiritualism and in particular clairvoyance. That important works purpose is to give comfort and reassurance from loved ones who have passed into spirit to their recipients remaining on earth. It also gives personal guidance for one’s earth journey.
The teachings we present in “I am here “are spiritual truths which are enshrined within the “Eternal Law “to which our teacher refers often.
The reader will also perceive that the teachings were obtained through a question and answer method, although at times there were addresses by the teacher on subjects relevant to earth, some of these being deeply troubling and serious for earth. The questions, often naively presented were answered in such a way as to stretch our minds and intellect. Indeed, there are some answers some 25 years later which we are just understanding on a different level.
We therefore invite you, the reader, to consider deeply and carefully the teachings presented in “I am here”
Foreword
The teachings, thoughts and considerations which follow bear no witness or discipline to any one particular path or direction. They neither advocate nor decry any one philosophy or religion. The foundation of our intent, action and commitment is of love and sharing. We all have something to share; we are all parts of a great spiritual family.
Coming together in respect and love allows hearts and minds to be as one, as the raindrop which drops into the mighty ocean.
This mighty ocean affords us a new and breath-taking beautiful view which can then be our future.
The Eternal Law
Reference is often made by the teacher to the Eternal Law. This term will, most likely, be unfamiliar to our readers, we therefore feel a note of explanation would be helpful.
It is not easy to define because is a sense it is everything and everywhere including earth and all life upon it. However specifically the term in the book refers to the realms of spirit, the reality and diversity of life within it and of course the people who dwell there. There are no boundaries or borders, no earth laws which restrict command and divide. The Eternal Law is a natural law which we on earth would call nature. It does not restrict but enhances all life toward evolvement and purity. The absolute foundation to the Eternal Law is Love, giving without thought of return.
It is the Law which keeps the planets in their place, the many galaxies beyond our own and the microscopic organisms which share our world of earth. It is the singing bird, the snow on the pine trees, the rock in the sea and the claw of the leopard. It is life eternal about which there is no beginning and no end of which you and I are a part. It is life seen and unseen. It is all things, there is nothing outside it.
From the Inner Sleeve
Our beloved fellow travellers
We cannot tell you
How many tears of joy
And closeness we have shed
Within the immersion
Of this book
It has bought us
To such heights of perception and love and inspiration
And exhaustion!
We are so very grateful
For all we have been given
But also, that this, we can share.
This, that on our own
Would overwhelm us
With our greatest and most lasting love
We thank you- for “Being There “
The following is a word by word account of our or first recorded meeting with Paul, he begins by saying......” I am here “.
I am here
You have difficulty in speaking clearly-you will help him. Yes?
Time is on our side.
We are very privileged and happy-what is your name friend?
I am Paul and I am here to teach.
Your teaching would be welcome.
Speak then and hold council with me.
We are seeking to understand ourselves and our Guides.
Do you see our circle as a teaching or a healing circle?
All power comes from within-you must generate yourselves and use us a medium.
This we understand Paul-thank you. Did you teach when you were of earth?
Yes.
I am aware of the power that we have built around and I hope that it is enough for you to draw upon.
I am well within the power.
I see the rice paper you have which you sometimes write upon.
That is so.
We are very fortunate. Could you tell us how we could better ourselves?
Be aware of self.
Have you seen us for a long time? Have you been waiting a long time for this moment?
I was with you from the seed and stay around you.
Do you think we are growing?
All things that have life grow. Your spirit is within that is the thing that grows.
Are there others with you Paul helping?
I am one of many.
We send you all our love.
Your thoughts give me joy and peace-be patient.
Family & Love
Family is what holds us together. The love we have for our family and our friends to some extent defines our existence and is an integral part of our spirit. Many of our conversations with Paul touched on these areas and we hope you find something in his teachings for you.
Do you think you could pass on all our love to those we have known and not known in the spirit world please? ( Question to Paul )
I can, so can you. ( Paul’s response )
Are thoughts of love sent to loved ones anywhere on earth, received physically.
Not so. By Ones Spirit, One is aware.
Could we hear your words Paul on the control of our emotions?
Your greatest emotion is love. There are those who are in consort with bitterness encroached in anger – this cannot survive. Be aware of that within you. There cannot be, there is no room. You must understand self within you. Foster this with a tap with which vinegar barrel is controlled.
I lack education and am without purpose. I feel very small compared with others.
What education has a rose? , and yet the profound beauty and perfection it holds nothing to this. Be as you are-use what is yours-love is all.
We are taught that in the beginning there was just Adam & Eve. How does spirit evolve from just two people, does it simply multiply from that beginning. How is spirit born?
It is the basis on which your belief must be founded. From your Book is said “the smallest bird does not fall without his knowledge “It is because even the smallest creature is part of Spirit. Spirit is all life it is galaxy of which your path is part. It is beyond two galaxies of earth that you have no knowledge-it is the Universe, it is all-it is beyond whence cometh the first grain of sand from where came the first star. Consider this –the song of the bird in the morning is Spirit, the flower on the scrub is Spirit, the fish in the sea is Spirit, the deer in the forest is Spirit. From this wonder and beauty consider the talon of the hawk, the thorn of the rose, the teeth of the shark, the claws of the leopard-all this is Spirit.
You have said beware of a touch from within – now how am I likely to recognise this touch is from Spirit?
Be aware of self – search within, the eternal love that will touch is beyond question.
Are there similar groups to ourselves receiving teachings from the inner side of life and if there are such circles of people would it be of mutual benefit to contact them?
Do not doubt the presence of Spirit, this is one of many who within the passage of time will meet one with another.
Consider that the humble toad when she spawns a necklace of black pearls –all have life all have spirit, all but a few will perish for that is their earth commitment.
I have often heard the word “detachment” used. I can understand this word in wise use with matters of earth but I cannot understand it in the concept of spirit and love and commitment .Could you help with the wise use and understanding of this term please.
Consider father and son. Father overwhelms son with love, refusing him the ability of trial and error, thus staunching the flow from boy to man. If father not love diminished, stand and allow development through guidance of gentle persuasion achieving the course of development truly attained.
I would like to ask about ancient races of man and that race’s earth evolvement and spirit evolvement. I can understand that at a certain level their intellect is such that they perhaps go into spheres which are above our earth knowledge. My question is two-fold-do the races then carry on with their work and learning and their evolvement in those higher spheres?
The second part of my question concerns the nations’ evolvement as a whole, so therefore brings me to reason that and to ask the question-do all races have a collective spirit as well as an individual one?
Consider grain of sugar-insignificant perhaps of itself, collected together produces sweetness. This can also be of individual spirit-on its own almost insignificant –collectively producing pure love. As the spirit in intellectual progression ascends the height of compassion and love, so of earth one looses attribute of earth. The reverse is also true as individual becomes to rely less on instinct and spirit more on commodities and productions that are of earth. So the path to spirit becomes more distended and one adopts a different attitude to the ability of love. Eventual conclusion is to disregard the possibility of the perfection for the acquisition of material accoutrements. Consider-if one who arrived in the kingdom of the blind with one eye, it is said he would be King. In fact he would die-for the difference.
We were speaking previously of the one-eyed man in the kingdom on the blind, and my mind turned to those people on earth who know nothing but earth and when their time comes to leave earth and dwell in the realms of spirit, it was to those that my thoughts went, and to think that if they know only earth that perhaps they would feel upon arrival, ill at ease until loving spirits guided them. Would this be the case?. As a second part to this question it would appear to me that just for this reason alone without the multitude of many other aspects that all people on earth would benefit from the teaching of spirit on earth.
Remember the words “if needed of Love-it is “ therefore of low intellect the passing is of low intellect, the passage is close to earth. On this concept the time of this passage is considerably longer, with knowledge of spirit it is easier to attain the passage that is love. It is within the realms of possibility of spirit influence the lower regions of spirit transference.
When we send love and thoughts to those who have crossed the veil, individual thoughts, are these thoughts received in whatever spirit realms they are in?
A loving thought or gesture, a loving memory however fleeting, is never lost. You can say “Who am I“ , my reply is you are never “ I “ , for you change from one moment to the next differing if only by the sprinkling dust from your skin, you are changed you are different. Embrace this difference, you can move beyond the doubting influences of your environment, your society, your earth, then you can aspire beyond reach that which you were by the difference you are now.
I have felt a particular joy and happiness when we first sat this evening as I do now and this sense of happiness, joy or humour – call it what you will, I think is a very important one for us all to have joy in our hearts. Would you give us some words on the truth of humour of joy?
In the course of our discussions you have put forward the theory of music aiding the upliftment of souls. Consider laughter and joy to be the inner music of thyself. Can you see? It is emotion of pleasure.
I feel that I have been given words to help people recently.
You will find as your knowledge increases so does your need to serve, for knowledge unfulfilled is a fruitless tree.
Can you help with some simple words of guidance that we can offer those we meet who feel helpless and frustrated in connection with world situations where they are deeply moved and yet know not how to offer their help? I wondered if there were some simple words we can use to help them understand the power of thought and prayer.
Often the first step is of momentous proportions; therefore, to recognise the atrocities, violence, inhumanity, ignorance, for what it is, is the first step. In recognition is acceptance of the existence. If, therefore, one accepts the existence of the adversities of earth, one must also accept the existence of the purity of love. The person who has acknowledged the adversity does so because of the difference. The effect on humanity touches those who are open to the Eternal Law, acknowledgement is the first step. To simplify your response, it is not possible to say “blessings upon you for accepting this great difference, therefore can you not see because this difference exists it has aroused in you the need to act and in action, change that which offends you”.
I try and be aware all of the time of the love and the help that spirit give me and to others and I am truly blessed- I know this but sometimes I worry that although I try to keep the love flowing, that I am not giving back. Is there anything we can do to give back to spirit some of what they give to us so freely?
How can you return a gift except by in your turn, giving? To give is to receive. You offend if you do not use your knowledge and love to the effect of others.
Various written word that I have read all say that Love is the bridge between the earth plane and the spiritual one, and I succeeding with my communication with my dearest husband, as I am not certain I am heard?
You do communicate. It is your understanding that is at fault. Love is no judge. It is freely given to all who wish to receive. It is the reception of the Eternal Law. To one of whom you speak has been present here but is now departed.) It is not necessary for you to be aware of the communication between you, for would that prolong the pain of parting, of being apart, yet hearing the voice within you? It is not for him but for you, the divide is made. Know then our love is with you. Although the conversation appears one way, the love is of each direction.
Someone once said to me “ in departing it is better to have tears on your shoulder than have no reason to return “ and that has always stayed with me.
There are tears in my eyes for the love of each of you is beyond price in the eternal Law. I cannot express my love for each of you more than my commitment of earth. For together, in tandem, one could not exist without the other. To see reflected in the waters of your existence, your face of love, each of you, is a shining example that our work succeeds.
Life Choices
We are taught that balance is a natural law, balance between man and woman good and evil and all such things and my question is relating to the good work which we all strive to do and in our own small way. By doing good work, does that mean we also create the balance of evil?
If I remove a grain of sand from the desert what have I done? I have changed the Universe by one grain of sand. If I remove the Moon from its quarter the Universe is changed and Earth is no longer. Between the mighty and the small is the answer. Heed this-in all men there are two dogs-one black one white. In our actions if we feed one more than the other-one must perish.
Do you feel that the balance on Earth life at the present time is tilting towards evil and whether we here and all those who come within our orbit may do something to reduce the balance in our future.
There are sheep, there are goats. Become a goat and lead the sheep, remove the grain transfix the Universe. All things lead to another.
That is very reassuring.
There is nothing without purpose-good will always overcome. Do you see the answer?
I believe so-I think you are saying “Be a goat, put your head down and charge forward “.
Not so. There are sheep, there are goats one leads ones follows. Be a leader. By changing those around you, you are removing the one grain of sand. That is the changing of all things.
We would like to tell you that your wisdom and teaching is starting to have relevance and importance in our lives.
Heed my words. Only by your own efforts can you achieve betterment. The power of love is within you all. Use therefore this power and its application you can achieve great things. Remember all things have purpose.
Could you help about the meaning of dreams?
Dreams are the abacus of the mind evaluating fact. Sub-conscious dreams are spirit orientated. Do not regiment your mind with impervious fact. Spread out on the water the bread upon and be fulfilled. Fill your life with love and look not at those who hate and by their lack of purpose you will find true belief within yourself. Be conscious of pain, of pain of others, but do not let their pain fill your soul with anguish. Do you see: Be gentle with you?
You said we must not be conscious of people who hate. Does that mean we should not, by example, help people who have because I thought that is what we should do in order that they will learn from our actions?
Learning is by observation. Let not their conscious hate fill your being and overwhelm you. Be aware but not your awareness overwhelm your thoughts.
Can we ask about Karma?
In a Tibetan Monastery it was usual for a novice to spend three years in silence and solitude and prayer yet when the need arose he took the sword. You are right to ask of Karma-it is as love-different name. Put on Karma like a robe and be warmed by its influence. Train your mind to yourself, feel the power of love within you.
Is there a task ahead for those who wish to serve?
The task is of your own choosing. Walk with love with your hand in the hand of spirit and your confidence and reassurance will show others. By your bearing and your love you can change those around you.
I would like to ask whether everyone has their own guide in life whether they are aware of it or not.
All have sunshine but some prefer to live in the shadow. If you live in shadow part is withered by lack of light. All who see the sun grow to the good.
Could you tell me Paul if our lives are pre-destined?
You path is chosen; how you walk the road is your decision.
Do we meet up with the same people and even bear our own children, have we been together with them before in earlier lives in different circumstances. Is it a continuing process of going around meeting up with the same souls all the time?
Not so. Each thing that you are, each thing you create is part of a lesson.
So my children are part of my lesson, we are all part of a lesson from generations and generations ago.
That is so.
When does the lesson end – does it ever end?
When you no longer return.
Can you tell me if we are all on the same level?
You have an enquiring mind that is good. You are all on different levels, therefore my words mean different to all. How these words are used determines advance.
Is there a price to pay in spirit as I am quick to anger especially with people who owe me money.
You are your own Judge – your own Jury. If you think low you are low. If you think high you are high. Spurn these thoughts – nothing can they achieve. They will not return the money or the goods or the chattels not by anger. Do not confuse strength of purpose with you, be strong in your actions be firm – do not let anger rile you. Do you see? Your concept of Spirit is hazy to say the least – it is not a score there is no mark – it is LOVE.
I was brought up in the Christian faith but find difficulties in believing much of orthodox Christian teachings. In an endeavour to move forward on this would I, or anyone else, gain more enlightenment from other teachings such as that of the Buddha.
It matters not the terms of the faith and its doctrines, what matters is the temple of the man. He, if his intentions are honourable, resolved and practised, will achieve the love he desires. Do not be fixed by terms of reference ordained by man and diffused, and by the diffusion the focus of the original thought is lost. Do you see?
Be as you are. You are the judge of your actions. With sincerity love-be aware that if you give love you will receive love. “I love” definition is such overwhelming peace, a peace within yourself that is painful beyond pain – love beyond love- beauty beyond beauty, within you.
To the best of my knowledge I, unlike most of my friends assembled here, have had no spiritual experiences and therefore feel rather inadequate. Is this so.
Dear and gentle man search your soul for indeed you have walked with spirit. Your awareness is camouflaged by the doctrine that you have received through life. Open your mind and your heart and you will feel spirit with you. Close your eyes-hold forth they hands-now. Mark this down gentle one, you can feel- you know-it is so.
I feel inferior. There are people who help others and I don’t. I feel very selfish and now wonder whether I should help others in need.
Your questions are based on uncertainty and to some degree fear-fear of you, fear of letting go, fear of being, fear of searching yourself. Do not be afraid-hand in hand with love you are all.
I would like to ask if one’s earth spirit plans its own work on the earth, or is it done in consultation with others in the spiritual spheres.
There is more to the question than you would believe. Some of the answers I could give would be in themselves painful. I
say this-your path is chosen from A to B. Your burden is your own and it won’t be plunged upon you.
Could you explain how thoughts originate how do they arrive so that we know what to ask?
Thoughts in general are mounts of information. One receives information to the mind through the sense of timing when some link is in balance it is then that thought occurs and questions. Spirit can promote this process. One sets above another in order to prefer a point.
Paul when we see so many people especially young people causing themselves emotional pain and anguish is this a necessary part of the development of their Spirit? Is there any positive way that we can help them?
Would that my answer could be simple. It is only by touching fire one feels that one is burned. You may guide and instruct and love and protect but the decision as is with you, is theirs. You can only allow them to decide and bandage their burned hand.
At a recent meeting with some very good and elevated people, we noticed they seemed to avoid any mention of the word spirit, is there a simple explanation to this ?
It is this, one begins with seed and by accumulation is directed to path. On the path one sees a view of splendour and magnificence and forgets journey. On returning explains with the eye of an artist the description of what they have seen. Like the tales of the camp fire these grow in the telling until the purpose of direction is gone and one revels in the glory of what has been. By their intellect of one aspect they are blinded of true identity. It is necessary to transcribe with absolute accuracy the lessons from tutor to student. The path of my presence is decided by from whence I have come.
You guide us to be aware of Self, to know Self. This is difficult for one gets many answers to many questions, without knowing which is spiritual, beyond earth.
Ask as you would ask your heart not for the right decision but for path.
You have said that we are comprised of Spirit and mind and body and the mind controls the body. Does that mean that Spirit has no control over mind?
Consider a river of fast movement. Within is a fish-the fish can live with little successes of its environment whilst not totally controlling the whole. Do you see?
Consider- it is not necessary for spirit to overrule mind – it is necessary for mind to acknowledge Spirit.
Providing you understand that the direction of each and pursue in order to return thy love, your attainment of earth is of spirit joy?
In other religions besides Christianity, there is a teaching that if you repent you can gain redemption. Is it possible to get redemption other by one’s own efforts?
It is necessary when one has transgressed with knowledge, mere words cannot change what has happened. To truly be forgiven one must receive the forgiveness of those who the transgression has affected adversely. From this beginning can one absolve oneself from consequence of action.
Is mankind on earth approaching the time of greater Spiritual understanding and awareness as his great step on his evolutionary path?
It is necessary for all nations, all cultures to be as one, each culture giving of itself one to the other. Man cannot advance more enlightenment while a morsel of food is thrown away and someone cries of hunger. So this problem multiplies many times, so more of imbalance occurs. In this occurrence it may be necessary to right this imbalance.
I notice in your teaching that you have never spoken of humility, but should we not endeavour to seek that?
In the past when in converse with another member of the Circle I have used this expression. Humility sometimes can be false direction for without exertion the one cannot exert. Humility has a place – it is a very small place – it is natural attitude that you seek, not the labouring of a specific action.
Is the teaching method of questions and answers an adequate one or should we try harder in other ways.
Only by your effort can you proceed further. It is necessary for each to struggle and earn and by earning receive.
One of the teachings you frequently give us is to “know ourselves” , could you expand on this please.
Know this – exclude from your mind all other perceptions, the “self” you must seek is the love that is predominant within you. The true beginning that is you. Allow this to intercede in all your decisions and actions; when you can achieve this your progress will be immeasurable on earth. Do not allow pride to intercede with your rational thoughts and decisions.
We all seem to have a purpose in life and I would like to know what my purpose is?
Do you speak of mortal purpose?
It is the only one I know – so yes.
It is to learn and in learning grow towards evolution of Spirit, purification of Spirit.
Do you wish us to continue with the questions and answers as we did before, or will there be a new format of teaching?
Mortal is constructed of three elemental presence, one is psychic of earth, for earth, near earth. One, although above, is necessary to the first is of Astral eclipsed and tied to earth but pure of material of earth. The third is spirit of eternity the one with whom you are part yet all. One is dependent on other as temple is dependent on a crowd for erection.
Can you please explain your previous words about “justice “in spirit ?
The word “justice “is an earth concept, it is not of spirit idea. Justice is to judge; to judge is to judge one self. The standard of your judgement depends upon the standard of yourself. Spirit is pure, the judgement you could receive would be impossible for you to live with. Therefore there is no justice in spirit of your earth ideology. There is however a cause and effect which is ever present and prevails all your actions of earth.
We learn from your teaching that things do not happen by chance and that things, events, are predestined by spirit, but where does that allow our freedom of choice?
Your principle is correct, but it is the effect of what you say. Consider, if without knowledge of spirit, without concept of eternal spirit, you were to lose one whom you love, in death, this would affect you deeply and yet through your choice you have chosen to acknowledge spirit, then the effect of the passing would be less and your understanding of the event would be more to the degree of facets of your pathway are pre-determined. It is your choice as to what effect they have upon you and to what your load shall be from this point to the next.
It has been a year since you first started the teachings, we would like to thank you for all the joy and happiness you have brought us.
It takes a child this time to learn to stand. This you have achieved and progressed upon your first steps. Soon you will no longer need the physical presence of Spirit in order to give you confidence – you will only need the certain knowledge that they are there to help you when you stumble. Do you see? This does not indicate I shall depart – it illuminates your progress in that context.
Could you help me on the wise use and understanding of Intuition.
Intuitive thought is and can be Spirit Orientated. If you learn to accept intuition with no support of reason it is easier to accept the concepts of the Spirit within you. Do you see? By use one becomes accustomed to accepting elements that are not based on earth reason.
How do we move forward to obtain our Universal Home?
It is necessary to search within in order to understand self and deficiencies of Self – rectify – build on thyself. Do you see?
The question of ability. Is the facet of ability something that we can develop, which we can help grow-to enhance , or is ability born within us and stays as such?
Consider ability as years. One builds upon facts as each year passes, so ability is built on fact. If you try and succeed you have ability, if you try and fail you have not ability-if you do not try further ability is excluded from you. You must attempt what would seem yesterday as impossible to achieve today’s probabilities and tomorrows successes.
I am at a crossroads and in all sincerity want to look deep within my heart to find what it is my spirit needs to do. I need to have a glimpse of the truth and it’s all so cloudy.
You do not fly when the sun is set, you cannot see. You must search within yourself for the purity of the original thought of conception that led you to spirit, your search for a belief for an attitude and a love. Spirit cannot deflect you from choice; you must choose who to serve. You will find the solution, the correct solution if you choose to allow the voice within to direct your actions.
Could you give us some words of direct upliftment to those that may read this book.
If you gaze upon these words your mind is searching. Look then within yourself for the intent of the search. If within you shall find love, look then further for within these words you shall read of the intent of the Eternal Law. To serve is to live, to live is to pray, to pray is to open the door from which all love returns.
Why is it that we come to earth to learn? Could we not learn just as well within spirit in the Eternal Law?
There is Beloved, no place for impurity in purity. Oil, water, do not mix. One must choose ones aspirations. The choosing field is earth. Earth is an Eternal Law. What you do, given the burdens of your earth, with the gifts that are placed with you, are counted upon the Eternal Law and the realm of spirit from whence all life returns.
The question of ability. Is the facet of ability something that we can develop, which we can help grow- to enhance, or is ability born within us and stays as such?
Consider ability as years. One builds upon facets as each year passes so ability is built on fact. If you try and succeed you have ability, if you try and fail you have not ability-if you do not try further ability is excluded from you. You must attempt what would seem yesterday impossible to achieve today’s probabilities and tomorrows successes. Consider thy path ability is an extension of thyself.
We have spoken of the gifts of spirit in the past and I am a little confused when reading the words contained within the Bible and your own words to us a particular member and I wonder-can there be more than one gift of spirit carried by an individual when he is on earth?
In answering your question, I will also answer the unspoken question. It is necessary to consider gifts of spirit in two lights. One is:- to some degree mortal must answer to spirit for application of gifts. To this degree gift is added burden of path, for you have written to “ err with knowledge one is thrice downcast “ It is easy for mortal with gift of spirit to make a reciprocant dependent upon the whims of the giver enhancing in the light of mortal, the power of the individual and the individual has to answer. The scale will truly be titled toward the earning of the gift. To this end therefore, if one has more than one gift the responsibility for this multiplies. The second thought is even farther reaching for with mis-use of gift the eternal law is in operation to this end lies deliberate condemnation.
We learn from your teaching that things do not happen by chance and that things, events, are pre-destined by spirit, but where does that allow our freedom of choice?
Your principle is correct, but it is the effect of what you say. Consider, if without knowledge of spirit, without concept of Eternal Spirit, you were to lose one whom you love, in death, choice you have chosen to acknowledge spirit, then the effect of the passing would be more to the degree of facets of your pathway are pre-determined. It is your choice as to what effect they have upon you and to what your load shall be from this point to the next.
I have great difficulty in meditating; I would like your advice please.
Do not use your mind to defend itself against impervious thoughts for in defence it is consumed by one task. Allow thoughts to intercede within your mind- irrational unimportant they may be, thus freeing your mind. Spirit will use intuitive thought to intercede within your mediation – guard against all intermission you defeat object.
I wonder if you are able to let me know how spirit view the scientific medical advancement with regard to conception and the fertilisation of the seed and egg outside of the womb and also the implantation of the fertilised seed. Would this be regarded as an interference with the natural order of things or could it not possibly be conceived that this is in fact our evolution, something we should welcome.
An abomination is an abomination in any term. But it is the intent that is important. It is necessary to kill in order to live, just so? But to kill for the enjoyment or the delusions of grandeur or to subjugate others is an abomination. Therefore open your mind to the intention. If the intention of your scientific advances viewed with trepidation and concern in the Eternal Law were to execute all disease from earth, to eliminate suffering, to conceive where conception was unlikely, this is natural evolution, if, however, it is to use scientific knowledge to reproduce that which is in the order of an elite, it shall not succeed or the balance of nature will be altered.
Play then with your childish genetics for if you go too far the consequences shall be the downfall.
Health, Well Being and Healing.
May we think of you when attempting healing?
Set your mind on the Great Healer. Think of him. The Healing Spirit is also in you.
Last night I tried to help a girl suffering from a fit-Epilepsy. I called upon God to shine his healing light down. Was my call heard?
You are certain it was heard. You know this why then trouble yourself?
I was unsure of myself and needed proof.
Proof was in her eyes you saw that.
Regarding spiritual healing, could you tell us briefly how it works and can that power be used for animals also.
Call on the Great Healer to place his love within you and he will heal. Whether it is lesser spirit or not it is the will that is important.
May I ask you about irrational fears-phobias?
Fear as such is an earthly garment. It is only worn on earth.
Is it possible to overcome them completely?
Yes.
I believe that music is good for us spiritually. Does it have to be specific kind of music?
If music is love it enables the mind to lift. If this can bear fruit it matters not whether the music is bell or trumpet.
Is there an essential difference between happiness and joy?
To simplify your question, the difference between joy and happiness is the birth of your child and the birth of a neighbour. For your neighbour you are happy - your child is pure joy.
In order to calm and clear the mind is it useful to use mediation.
Meditation is of use if you live in troubled world of troubled mind – some would benefit from meditation, others less so who are able to search within. This is the object of mediation to calm ones’ outer temple to calm the inner temple.
We on earth experience suffering some seemingly more than others, why is this so Paul?
Consider this. It is only from imperfection that perfection can grow.
Can you help me with the Spiritual understanding of the word “vibration” which you have used in your teachings to us? I understand the word in its earthly meaning to mean movement sometimes producing a musical note. Would you help me with the higher concept of that word please?
The word vibration “used in Spiritual context means “in tune of a note of Spirit “. All notes of music are one form or another of vibration. It is considered that when a feeling is “of note “it is transmitted by minute vibration one with another. It is not in reality of earth concept.
Would it help us understand our Karma by knowing previous lives.
Is not your present existence hard enough – do you wish to burden yourself with attributes and desecrations of past? You must advance with intellect and love. To no avail cast back thine eyes – it would benefit you nothing if the information you receive was correct.
When surgeons perform transplants and save one person with the organs of another, can this effect the spirit of the person.
I search for a parable for you to understand- it is this- does the house change for a new roof? The body is immaterial to spirit, even the spirit contained within the body. It needs an extension in all probability of one’s existence upon earth always with new insight, always serving the Eternal Law from the time of the new practice to the end of the span.
It is possible for anyone who has not accepted the reality of Spirit still to be a powerful instrument of divine healing?
Do you not know this answer?
Well I have seen it happen but it does not seem the right thing.
It is your concept of right and wrong. It is law that is important. All of mortal man have ability to cure all ills that prevail on earth within the concepts that are now present. It matters only of intelligence that is used and permeated the ability of healing.
Consider – all of mortals have ability to heal within the concepts of earth. It is necessary for mortal to understand ability to use ability to pass this knowledge within oneself. Can you see?
Concerning healing – in some people who have fallen sick, is there sometimes a need for that to be so? I do not doubt the healing that is in all, but is there a need for some people to be ill?
There is need of burden of earth.
Consider it is or that all have ability to heal like jugs of wine. Some will never acquire the knowledge or the inclination to do so, all who heal do so through Spirit whether knowingly or unknowingly, it is not necessary for Spirit to proclaim a place for earth mortal to be – merely use a channel available for commitment of Self.
Many of the Christian Church and Medical Profession have had a radical change in accepting Spiritual Healing, May we expect a universal change in the near future?
Gentle One you use your reason well. As the intellectuals of the society of whom you are a member, come to understand that the law of Physics that has been their understanding, is but a facet of the Law of spirit, the acceptance of what was once the pillars of your society intellectually, must inevitably be redefined in order to appoint the mind to probe beyond the obvious.
I recently learned that the Chinese believe that health is a balance of body, mind and spirit and it seemed to me that this conception would be of great help to all spiritual healers. Is this so?
We are considering once more the temples that maketh the one. It is true to say if one’s mind is active and in this activity creates the movement in excess of normality for the body, a balance arises between body and mind making one more sharp as the other extends. It is not of necessity fact of all balance to be equal Yin Yang of understanding. By this concept one can allow body to decay whilst compensating the activity of body to mind to the detriment of body.
Can you please give me some guidance, for I am not making progress with my spiritual ambitions?
Experience is determined by intention-look within yourself-search within. Allow within your mind thoughts to enter for by intuitive thought spirit is in communication with that which is you. If I give you knowledge by effort, intention, purpose you gain nothing-if I give you seed of knowledge by effort, intention, purpose, you gain knowledge, it is yours.
I wonder if you could give me some guidance on how I can overcome the mental block that I seem to have that appears to be stopping me from progressing?
It is SELF-you use Self as barrier, whatever you contemplate you question- “ Is this Self “ “ Is this Spirit .It is you set barrier against yourself. Allow thoughts to enter your mind-irrelevant unimportant thoughts for they precede intuitive thought which is spirit orientated. Allow each thought position within your mind-do not allow Self to intercede , all that occurs is with the intent of the Eternal Law, progress determined by ability of responsibility.
I have reached an old age now and I have an illness that I don’t think will be cured, all I would like is help in the remaining period of my life to reach sanctity and grace.
Thy journey on this path is well and truly established. I shall take the opportunity of the question to give explanation that will benefit all present- it is thus: I shall use words you specifically will understand. You think of God you think Heaven- you must consider from thy birth to this moment has been a search within yourselves each of you. The one factor which remains consistent is the spirit within yourselves, this facet of the Eternal Law-the God-all you do all you achieve affects this within you. It is easy to imagine this Heaven of which you hold so dear within your mind- it is of your choosing -if thy commitment has been with love, they departure and arrival will be with joy. You above all else should realise the building that houses the spirit is a little consequence, it is sufficient to thy needs.
In relation to fear, I have become aware of the dissipation of energies through the inherent fear which I am sure we all have, which affects our daily lives. Small fears but ones which are deep-seated that we don’t realise are affecting us, could you help me understand this please.
Short answer, fear blocks passage of Eternal Law. To define; your society creates a stress upon which fear is a necessity. It is necessary to fear the laws of society. It is necessary to a degree, to fear the limits and definitions that your society places upon all who participate within it. If you were different you are ostracized for the difference. This creates fear. In order for you to find the balance between the Eternal Law and the society in which you live was defined earlier in teaching in this fashion:- If there was a fast moving stream and in it was a fish , the fish could exist within the fast moving stream, not by conquering the flow of water, its ebb and its flow, but to move within this environment, using each eddy of its power to enhance. Your balance within your society would be detrimental if you succumbed to the purity of the Eternal Law by your difference you would be expelled from all that holds you within the position you are. Your sacrifice would be too great. Live with fear, understand its purpose, and conquer that which adversely affects you. Cherish that which helps you understand the beauty of the Eternal Law.
Sometimes I feel a great deal of peace within myself and yet from time to time it slips away and goes to the Hurley-burley of everyday life, I find myself fraught with different feelings, fears, emotions, hate and things that would upset the peace. How can I work towards keeping the peace within?
You seek Utopia – it is not to be for peace eternal is beyond the veil. Consider- would not the moments of peace be cherished less if they were easily obtainable? Seek within thyself-set aside your intellect-breathe simple with love.
Spirit and Mediation
Are all religions simply different path to the one Great Spirit, many names for one God?
The spirit of Love is all things to all men. If you must name a thing you name it “this” or it may be called “that”. Do not consider the name be more concerned with effect. All things are one-one is all. Do you understand?
You said that the Tibetan Monks had to study for three years in solitude to understand, we cannot do that in our daily lives so it is much harder to be good if you have not the time to go into solitude. Is this meant?
There are fifty tons of books written in golden paint on palm leaves, you cannot read these. Does that make you less? Be what you are. Fulfil yourself, you cannot be a Tibetan Monk, or a Missionary-you are you. Fulfil yourself-you are the power you can also be the Glory. Be within yourself. Do you understand?
I would like to ask whether everyone has their own guide in life whether they are aware of it or not.
All have sunshine but some prefer to live in the shadow. If you live in shadow part is withered by lack of light. All who see the sun grow to the good.
How best to use the gifts that we have been given so that we may use them in service of the Spirit.
Each must arrive at their own perception. First lesson – know yourself, be aware of self particularly, be forthright, learn, perceive arrive at destination and by natural progression one will assume the attitude of the way.
When someone passes to the spirit world we believe they are going to a better place. Even so we cannot contain our sorrow for the parting.
It matters not who you are, in fact the greater the spirit, the greater the love you have one for another, therefore is the greater sorrow of parting. Time is the only healer. The greater the love the greater the sorrow of parting.
Do we meet our loved ones when we pass over Paul – the people that we have loved deeply, do we see them again?
Your loved ones on earth are not necessarily compatible in Spirit. You walk together through life hand in hand because that is your earth commitment but when you are in Spirit you may be on different levels. If when you first pass over you wish to see them they will be there as part of your love, for if you love it is so.
I cannot imagine what form we take when we pass over. Are we as we are now,-it is hard to understand.
You maintain your earth form for as long as you are part of earth even in spirit. As less of earth you lose, more of spirit you gain-to perfection. You are as a torch in the dark-you are as a Moon in the sky, you are Light-Purity.
Will you teach me about the functions of the sub-conscious-it seems to me to hold the key to greater awareness and knowledge?
We could discuss this question for long-I say this. When you are reposed in sleep your sub-conscious takes the greater part of your existence-earth falls and spirit is more aware of yourself. You can achieve great things in repose if you plan your repose with spirit and prayer and love and guidance and conscious awareness of probability.
When I go to bed I try to mediate but this keeps me wakeful and I find difficulty trying to sleep. Am I doing something wrong?
If you relax body more of mind is available. To do this one almost transfixes one’s mind against existence of body-body does not exist only mind and prayer is the converse between earth and spirit. It is the link. It is never unfulfilled-never cast aside-always listened to and acted upon.
Could you explain in a simple way the difference between spirit and earth.
Cast thy mind upon pool of water. Beneath surface is mystery. Life begins with fermentation but with corruption grows dank. Arrive at the surface thus through in green array the bud of lily grows in sunlight of spirit.
In spiritual churches on earth the psychic and the spiritual seem to be mixes as one. To me they seem different, therefore should we then be interested in the psychic.
Listen then. Psychic is of earth and are tools of spirit in individual. It is through the psychic working that spirit communicates to transcribe and transmit, move and are able to be. Without psychic spirit would be without tools.
Is there a difference between the Soul and Spirit?
There is only the difference of words. Mortal man is made of three temples-one temple of Spirit, two temple of Mind, three temple of Body-Spirit rules Mind, rules Body.
To revert to our earlier discussion about thoughts. I sometimes say questions to myself inside and appear to get an answer. Is that answer imagination, it is Spirit or intellect?
As your awareness of Spirit grows your intellect of Spirit is also on the same tree. Some of your inner questions are searching of self and answers are Spirit orientated. It is a necessary process for if one does not understand self then how can one understand others. Through all is natural law that is perfection above perfection.
Are we all part of one another from man covered in darkness to man of the purist light.
In the concept that Soul is touched by the Great One, then indeed you are all one. One with one another and with trees and fields and birds and beasts, therefore you are divided by intellect and vibration which determines accoutrements of earth lesser or not.
Are there beings from other planets amongst us now who are teachers who have come to teach us?
In the passage of time this has been so, not of recent origin.
Do I understand that everything is linked together as one-just one whole that we all take part in-flowers and people are part of one big Spirit?
In order to understand one must accept the whole is part of many facets that contribute to the love. It is the Perfect Law-it is the breath of life not only to your birth but to other births beyond your understanding. In order to communicate with the one, it is necessary to allow the part of the one that is within you freedom. Release the love that is Spirit within each in order to communicate with the Greater One who is part of an enormity of perfection.
You say that all things have Spirit-was then the Spirit that is me, once the Spirit of say a tree or a horse? Is this the progression?
It is within the realms of possibility that part of what you call Spirit has been part of Spirit of another entity. Consider this fact. Without this perfection of love when you see a Sunrise on the sea, you feel at peace and at love. It is fortunate that you have been part of the whole.
When the Spirit finally leaves the earth body and travels beyond the veil, does its position in the spirit depend upon the lessons learned on earth?
Let us first consider there is no real position of Spirit-it is decided by Self. The law is perfect. If one leaves earth and is in need of earth-there is earth; there are all things that are necessary to sustain of earth. In the beginning love and tranquillity and time are necessary to adjust.
We believe from your teachings that everything that has life has Spirit and by the same concept that inanimate objects have not, I am just a little confused over last week when you spoke of Spirit being part of the living rock and the moving sea. Can you help me on this please?
You allow your intellect to blinker you from the Natural Law which is the Law. Did not your Nazarene command the seas to still? Consider – if he was not one with the elements how could this be? Speak.
Yes – I can see that it could be one with Spirit but to say that Spirit is part of it I could not work out.
You live in what you believe to be reality. In fact your whole existence is a dream as such. Reality exists only in Spirit. This concept will stretch your intellect. Consider – all that has life has Spirit.
Last week you explained to us the Perfect Law, and we know that we are all part of the One Great Spirit, but Paul - was there ever a beginning and will there be an end? We would like your words on this.
Spirit is eternal, was now and ever more shalt be. Mortal becomes, and with pursuance of time will end.
You have said beware of a touch from within – now how am I likely to recognise this touch is from Spirit?
Be aware of self – search within, the eternal love that will touch is beyond question.
I have another question, again from your teaching. A word of explanation please on “ Kismet “ does this mean spiritual task on earth?
You stopped short of your “ or” –interesting! You have left unsaid the “ balance”. “ Kismet “ is decided load of path-decision arrives with experience.
Not only the task, but also the path.
Indeed.
Is it possible for the spirit within a mortal man to leave the body whilst actively conscious or must it be in reposed?
You are aware of the spirit in its entirety very rarely leaves the temple of the man. When in elation of spiritual joy the spirit will lift beyond that which is earth- it is possible in this context for true elation experience elevated spirit would leave reposed temple.
From what I was reading the other day , I realise that the North American Indians were Spiritual people and are much the same thought as your teaching and we admire them of course, but I wonder whether the South American Indians – the Pre-Incas were also Spiritual people?
South Indian are extremely Spiritual with knowledge of Spirit and earth that by evolution is lost. The distance one travels is from beginning to end – this is evolution.
Will therefore perhaps one day on this earth a new species of man appear – is this possible?
It is at this time predominant. Consider – the specie of man earth two centuries past – is not specie developed to almost new being.
We have spoken of the burden of earth. Is this self incurred from an earlier part of our present life, or even an earlier life.
In our discussions of Evolution we discussed beast and man – we did not discuss evolution of Spirit. To rectify this omission my final statement was to this effect. Of earth thy path is chosen, it is your decision how you carry this load.
We all feel so useless as individuals when there is such suffering in the world.
Thy love is never wasted; it is used to comfort those in need.
I would like to refer to our earlier discussions about ancient races of man and that race’s earth evolvement and spirit evolvement. I can understand that at a certain level their intellect is such that they perhaps go into spheres which are above earth knowledge. My question is two-fold, do the races then carry on with their work and learning and their evolvement as a whole. Secondly do all races have a collective spirit as well as an individual one?
Consider grain of sugar-insignificant perhaps of itself, collected together produces sweetness. This can also be of individual spirit-on its own almost insignificant –collectively producing pure love. As the spirit in intellectual progression ascends the heights of compassion and love, so of earth one looses attribute of earth. The reverse is also true as individual becomes to rely less on instinct and spirit more on commodities and productions that are of earth. So the path to spirit becomes more distended and one adopts a different attitude to the ability of love. Eventual conclusion is to disregard the possibility of the perfection for the acquisition of material accoutrements.
Consider-if one who arrived in the kingdom of the blind with one eye, it is said he would be King. In fact he would die-for the difference.
I have recently heard the words and have also read the words “ pure knowledge “ and I also believe another word for this term would be “enlightenment “. Do these words have the same meaning as the words which you have always used to us when you have taught us to “ know and understand” ourselves?
Know this, knowledge that is pure is based on fact. Enlightenment is spirit orientated and is an accumulation of fact not of reason but of direction.
Each night I spend time trying to mediate as well as absent healing. Can you give me any advice in the mediation as I find as soon as I begin to mediate many thoughts etc crowd in and it becomes quite difficult?
All may take notice of this:- In defending your mind against impervious thoughts you set barrier between that which is and that which could be. Allow each thought to enter however unimportant for it precedes that which is important. In mediation allow each part of you a place within your mind. In defending what you perceive to be irrelevant you defeat object of fulfilment by the defence. To gather knowledge for knowledge sake to use not- is to deceive oneself. Unused knowledge ferments as recollection dims with age into corrupt, unusable, inaccessible thoughts. If you use knowledge consistently, constantly by teaching in attitude you relearn lesson as student grasping more of the intent of lesson each time thus fulfilling purpose of knowledge. Therefore do not treat with gentle contempt those who cannot see what you have but your example demonstrate the beauty.
Comment to Paul from a guest. I don’t have a question but am very happy to be here; I thank you for allowing me to attend.
It is not by chance you are here; it is intent of purpose giving all direction of intent. It is possible to gain comfort from familiarity, purpose of intent of the Eternal Law, therefore it is necessary even advantageous to yourself to leave that which is comfortable moving to that which is undiscovered within yourself.
We are told that this life is a dream and spirit life is the reality. I have such a feeling of unreality about the happenings of the last year. Is it my spirit that feels this way or is it something that will pass because half the time it all seems so unreal?
To protect that which is you, it is necessary to divorce you from actual fact to alleviate pain. It is true you consider from birth not necessarily of your choosing to thy departure , all you see all you do, all you touch, feel , smell or taste is transient- is tomorrow- is gone. One consistent fact is the spirit within yourselves. If you were to consider birth one point and departure another stretched between the two a silken thread, all you do affects the tension of thread- excesses of Earth brings it downward, excellence of spirit returns the tension.
Some people find it difficult to acknowledge spiritual values and truths, why is this so?
It is with infinite joy we touch, always, with your knowledge your aspirations of earth, your dedication to spirit. It is thus…You are aware that in the population of earth the variations are infinite, the possibilities of birth. Some will be born with a mathematical aptitude, superior to those other contemporaries even. There are those who are born with great strength and so on and so on. Why then is it not possible for those to be born already on the path of the Eternal Law in deference to their parentage and society of which they serve. You are not chosen because of your birth, you were chosen before your birth for the teaching, pursuit, application, of the Eternal Law.
I was wondering if the time I spend, and I can only speak for myself, in mediation and prayer is sufficient to the needs at this time, it concerns me that we are needed and I wondered if what I am doing is enough?
It is this, sufficient to the day. If we have need of you we will call and by your love you will answer. Be aware within yourself of our voice. You are of earth, your commitment is such you are able to sit in silence , it is therefore not necessary, it is even distressing to you, and therefore to one degree removing you from the peace you should enjoy because you feel, in your love, you neglect us. Not so, even in your slumber we speak, converse, walk through woodlands , seek shaded trees, keep company, move in love to further and enhance those who are in need. Therefore in your ignorance do not deride that of yourself which to us is beautiful.
I have great difficulty in meditating and would like your advice on this.
Do not use your mind to defend itself against impervious thoughts for in defence it is consumed by one task. Allow thoughts to intercede within your mind-irrational unimportant they may be, thus freeing your mind. Spirit will use intuitive thought to intercede within your meditation-guard against all intermission you defeat object.
Are there new souls still coming to the earth, new spirits, that have not been before, just starting their journey and if so, how does it come about.
Your mind dwells upon the evolution of earth, re-birth, birth, re-birth. Within the eternal law creation is not an act, it is a way of life, it is all things. Therefore, when you say “new spirits “it is a definition hardly accepted within the Eternal Law. For you see, ultimately there is no one spirit, it is all fragments, facets of the eternal Law. Place before your mind a diamond and see each sparkle expound from the cut surfaces; tell me, is that first sparkle new?
We are taught that in the beginning there were Adam & Eve, my question is that although I know that spirit comes from the spirit world-is spirit born? If there were only one spirit to start with, is spirit born or does it multiply for the amount of people there are now? How does spirit become sprit if there was one in the beginning – is it like birth?
It is the basis on which your belief is founded. From your book is it said “the smallest bird does not fall without his knowledge”. It is because even the smallest creature is part of spirit. Spirit is all of life; it is the galaxy of which your earth is part. It is beyond two galaxies of earth that you have no knowledge- it is the Universe, it is all-it is beyond whence cometh the first grain of sand, from where came the first star. Consider this- the song of the bird in the morning is spirit, the flower on the scrub is spirit, the fish in the sea is spirit, the deer in the forest is spirit. From this wonder and beauty consider the talon of the hawk, the thorn of the rose, the teeth of the shark, the claws of the leopard-all this is spirit.
You often quote to us our Nazarene and tonight you mentioned the Koran and our Bible and we have all been brought up to love and cherish the teaching of Jesus. Was Jesus-the Nazarene, a great teacher and Medium, or was he truly the Son of God as we have been taught, or is that part of the doctrine?
Is not all man son of God and all woman daughter of God? With this concept with your mind consider the Nazarene as a King among Kings, as a prophet among prophet, as a medium among medium- as a Light among Darkness. It is with this knowledge you must remember the intellect of the common Soul of Spirit in this evolution that was then.
Previously I asked a question about “Kismet “and in reality I intended to ask about “Karma”. I feel that you led me to the right answer, to what I intended and not what I asked, but I would like a word on it from you please.
Why in your intellect must you confuse yourself and in your confusion deliberate though the intention is, lose sight of objective.
Yes, but you do use the word Karma and I did not understand it.
Did not you write and therefore read “one puts on Karma like a robe “? If you were to go to war you would choose by what method you would be best suited to adopt aggression. Is this not so? Why then can you not see? It is the method by which you move through your span that is defined in this barbaric world.
You have been with us for such a long time now and I would love to know if in one of your previous lives you walked closely with our Nazarene?
Do not in your wildest imagination raise me above what I am. I am neither physician nor Deity - I am but humble teacher. I do not chastise thee merely affirm my position. It is not necessary for you to look up and call me Master for who us higher than the lowest, who therefore is lower than the highest? With love we touch – this is and must be our relation, not above but together – part of.
The Egyptians long ago were the first to define the concept in their attempt to understand the Natural Law and it is possible first to search within the man for within the temple of the man is all the facets of the Natural Law- nature. This early philosophy was adapted by the Greek scholars who enlarged upon these concepts bridging gaps making vast in-roads into the Natural Law, mathematics, science, astrology, medicine, society and structure. The basis they constructed their philosophy on, was the search within – know thyself. Such was their belief it was inscribed on the sides of the seats of learning in their society. But all the knowledge, regardless of concept of immobility, stagnates, ferments, decays.
We learn from your teaching that things do not happen by chance and that things, events, are pre-destined by spirit, but where does that allow our freedom of choice?
Your principle is correct, but it is the effect of what you say. Consider, if without knowledge of spirit, without concept of Eternal Spirit, you were to lose one whom you love, in death, choice you have chosen to acknowledge spirit, then the effect of the passing would be more to the degree of facets of your pathway are pre-determined. It is your choice as to what effect they have upon you and to what your load shall be from this point to the next.
I have great difficulty in meditating; I would like your advice please.
Do not use your mind to defend itself against impervious thoughts for in defence it is consumed by one task. Allow thoughts to intercede within your mind- irrational unimportant they may be, thus freeing your mind. Spirit will use intuitive thought to intercede within your mediation – guard against all intermission you defeat object.
We hear gifts of spirit, how do we find them?
Consider the legend Chalban Khan a priest in a providence of China, of many years of great wisdom and of purest thought. In the dawning of his Autumn Buddha spoke to him and said to him to go forth into the mountains and there you will find the first temple. Go now before light of the day begins. He stood and as he did so the tears fell away from him and set forth on the journey. Each hour he progressed brought back to him a year of age when at last he was overtaken by darkness in the crevice of a mountain. He asked Buddha for light that he may continue his journey. Above him on the path light appeared, ignoring the force that was in his head he pursued the light. Eventually rounding the corner he met the full power and was blinded and stumbled and said to Buddha “I have failed you”. Beloved Mortal “, was the reply, you stumbled in the darkness you pursued the light of Eternal Lour mediation – guard against all intermission you defeat object.
War & Trouble
We all see great problems on our world of earth and attempt in our own way to move the grain of sand. There is however much frustration at times when we continually see conflict, inequality, abuse and ignorance.
Consider – it is choice which dictates your commitment of earth. We cannot assist you in your choice, it is therefore very painful when decisions you make are wrong and we have to stand and watch your pain. It is within you all to understand the law that is the love that is the one that is all perfection. Do not ever doubt our love and our hand upon you – know then you are never alone in anguish. It is necessary part of your education for you to suffer to one degree or another. It is not our place to change what is your choice.
A little while ago I had thoughts of the vulnerability of some species of wild animals on the earth - species that seem endangered. Are these animals responding to some inner call that leads them to their own evolution, though we do not immediately see that and sense the disappearance of these animals as a tragedy on earth.
Consider – the evolution of a species must eventually culminate in its extinction for as intellect rises in specie cannot compete at this level, extinction is inevitable in order for process to continue.
Although we all strive for spiritual growth and there are many more doing so, the world is still becoming more violent and more selfish and I wonder what causes this to be and how we could best combat it.
If I were to remove a grain of sand from the desert what have I done? I have changed the desert by one grain of sand. If I remove the Moon from her orbit, Earth is no more because of this. Between the two is the answer, you belittle what you do, thy prayers, thy presence, thy compassion with all you see and do affects those who you touch. There is always conflict for from conflict comes strength of the Eternal Law, spirit within yourself – if all was a placid how fruitless would be the effort?
I would like to ask whether the dreadful happenings throughout the world, which are getting worse every day-I was wondering, are we getting ready for the end of the world as we know it, or are we being prepared for the return of Jesus Christ?
Do not confine yourself with the religious dogma. You must consider from all adversity comes first great change, also great ability of goodness. You are aware that in martial conflicts upon the earth, great strides are achieved of awareness and of resolution to change that which is adverse to that which is love.
I would like to ask as we all have difficulty sometimes in living in the material world, if you have any advice to give us on this?
Short answer-the life of the pious is easy compared with the difficulties of the environmental society. If you were a monk you could address yourself in solitude, if you were priest you could talk of solitude, if you were a teacher you could have learned the lessons of solitude. You are neither-be what you are to the best of your spiritual ability. Take strength from the Eternal Law-use your gifts with care for a feed to the thirsty vast quantities of water would render them harm. Use your knowledge with care.
Could present day religions play perhaps a more active role in helping the problems on earth by understanding and giving forth the Perfect Law of which we have spoken, if some of the religious leaders in the various religious understood of the Law?
The question has many implications. All great conflicts and all great suffering have been caused not through Natural Law but through bias of religion one with another. It is not the ability of those who are in a position to change for in change- would their position remain? In perfection one must forfeit imperfection.
Mine is to ask an explanation from you- an “impasse”. You said two weeks ago that your text was in conflict one with another.
Also it is said “look not at the content of the words but at the direction”-therefore the text will be as diverse as each who sit here. Dwell your mind:- if all who are assembled were to represent different ideologies in religion, who among you would be on the correct path? it is necessary to understand not the direction of earth but the direction of the spirit who is in all intellectual orientated basic concept that is religion. You look at thy book or at the Koran or at the Buddhist in their works on the ideology that prevail throughout. Look therefore at direction of each and you will see it is necessary to have darker sides of the same coin in order to understand the lighter more absorbent ideals and faith. If in my teachings I put forth a statement-all receive a different concept. It is important also what the concept does to the recipient on whatever length of knowledge it is received. Can you see the difference?
I seem to be living in a state of utter confusion at the moment, like a fish swimming in all directions- I do not know which way to turn and I would be happy to have some guidance.
It is necessary for you to research within yourself and seek the peace that is within you. Begin at the beginning-sit in silence and prayer-allow thyself these moments free from confusion.
How best may we help those who feel so helpless, fearful and frustrated in connection with adverse world situations?
The first step is to help them recognise the atrocities, violence, inhumanity, ignorance, for what it is. In recognition is acceptance of the existence. If, therefore, one accepts the existence of the adversities of earth, one must also accept the existence of the purity of love, the person who has acknowledged the adversity does so because of the difference. The effect on humanity touches those who are open to the Eternal Law, acknowledgement is the first step.
Why are there such things as earthquakes, violent storms, destructive elements in nature?
The earth is a living being also, it too suffers with great pain and indignity that mortality places upon it, can you wonder? If mankind is not in harmony, is the fruit upon the tree of this deception. You are governed on earth by societies in which you live, affluent, rich, of worldly goods, and yet corruption is like the worm in the apple of beauty, unobserved, existing on the fruits of others, parasitical in attitude, subtle in variety.
Death and Reincarnation
Whilst Learning about the spirituality of people of Tibet and other lands our understanding suggest that they are of finer material than ourselves and more spiritual from the seed. Many people from long ago in other lands were more spiritual than we of today, what has happened.
Your question is deep but the answer is also deep. Consider this-if I sow seeds on a field some fall on fallow land some fall on fertile land. The growth cannot be the same.
We are born under certain Zodiac signs, therefore when we reincarnate do we return under different sign as we have already absorbed lesson from the original sign.
Your question is many. You only return when there is a way for you. You will return not in the same book but in the same chapter. Only when you have learned the book from that chapter do you progress. If I gave you knowledge and you have not worked and earned this knowledge I give you less than nothing. If I give you the seed of knowledge and you earn it the fruit is yours forever.
When we reincarnate, do we come back on the same level of intelligence every time, have we sometimes in our lives had a greater intellect.
If on one level you have regressed then next life is also regressed. If you learn your book you return at same chapter but different book.
When we reincarnate do we choose our own parents or are they chosen for us?
You do not select but are selected for the step of the seed. There is a circle within a circle within a circle-you are the spirit it is eternal.
I realise now that the progress of spirit is through reincarnation but am at a loss on the basics of this knowledge. Do all living things have an attendant spirit?
All things that have life have spirit.
I recently discussed with a Medium my feelings for the people who have died in tragedies years ago like the two world wars, and she suggested that I should do some rescue work for these people and help their Souls across. She told me how to do this and I felt that I was being told something that I had waited for years to hear. Could you tell me if it is right for me to do this? Do I have your approval Paul.
Your progress always as you describe has my approval. Be not concerned with one aspect of this work for now you have arrived at the beginning.
Many people on the earth find it difficult to understand that life is deathless especially when the physical body is a cast off. How might we best help them to understand the truth?
It is evident all round you from the moth to the Nazarene. Did not the Nazarene show the way? It is not you to convince.
When my mother was dying I could not face up to seeing her again and I regret not seeing her. Could you tell me why I could not face seeing her?
You are as fresh as the spring blossom. Consider for your love, for would not the pain of this meeting have achieved little? Would not the knowledge of thy love and her love be of consolation to you? The Spirit of whom you speak has in the perfection of Spirit peace and contentment beyond your understanding. Do you see? Know then we are touched.
We learn of the passing of one of our circle members relatives through violence with sadness. We question the pathway society is taking.
You speak as if society is different from you. You are the society you condemn. By your example, by your conclusion and your enlightenment you change each grain of sand. It is not the tragedy you would believe, it is a blessing if you wish, of knowledge to the multitude of spirits of earth, for this tragedy of which you speak, it is the stone within the pool affecting those whom the ripples touch with knowledge and the seed of the Eternal Law. From adversity comes a great gift of love, the purpose must be achieved, you will see in the foreseeable future the accuracy of this statement. It is well to be concerned and understand the pain and suffering of others through the loss of one who one has cherished and loved. See beyond what is presented to you.
With regards to animals and birds, should we take it upon ourselves to terminate their life if they are suffering greatly and if death is imminent?
Where suffering in the animal kingdom is more acute than in humanity, pain is more severe, therefore if your motive is compassion through love to despatch to release the spirit from the sea of pain, it is just, also in the realms of humanity this would be just , were it not that it would be abused.
I have a lot of beliefs, but there is one thing that has been very strong in my mind that is to do with reincarnation. I know many people and probably many people here tonight have felt they have been on earth plane before. This feeling I have never had, and I wonder, is it possible that this could be my first time here?
Are you not aware of the adversity of this life? To know previous lives would also carry adversity of existence. Too much to bear. Suffice to say within the Eternal Law, birth and life are circle until one needs not the other. You have been here before, and will return for your cycle is incomplete. It is not necessary for you to understand the past or future. It is what your ability is of now, that is important. Each gift of thyself to another in love and compassion is a step at the doors of the Eternal Law.
Is it possible for those who have passed over to the Eternal Law to feel the love that we have for them.
The prayers are always answered. To be in a sea of love is not to be unaware of a drop of rain for it is refreshing in its simplicity.
My husband recently died, could you give me some words on his condition.
He is well, he is aware of all you do. Even thought proceeds action, he is with you constantly. His words “Know this , I am safe, I am well, use the love that I know you have more freely. Grasp every opportunity to touch those in need. Do not allow yourself to be used, and remember, when you arrive I shall be here.”
The distance from here to him is long; it is a different house on a different street, in a different town from the spiritual house, street, town where I am.
