Love Is the Way

“Our highest truths are but half-truths;
Think not to settle down for ever in any truth,
Make use of it as a tent in which to pass a summer’s night,
But build no house of it, or it will be your tomb.
When you first have an inkling of its insufficiency
And begin to descry a dim counter-truth looming up beyond,
Then weep not, but give thanks:
It is the Lord’s voice whispering,
‘Take up thy bed and walk!”
—Earl Balfour

Sometimes, if we are willing to listen, we can hear an inner voice speaking within our own thinking. The one through whom these inspirations came, was following a Christian path, but slowly the awareness grew that the “I am” presence mentioned in these words was the inner light which is within us all – the truth- the Christ ‘as it was in Jesus.’

It is hoped that the following inspirations will illumine the path all those who read them.

The Still Small Voice

Even though there is not perfect peace and quiet, you can listen to My small still voice. The quiet must be within you. Ideally there should be quiet without also, but it is the quiet within which opens the gateway to Myself. Still your thoughts – that I may speak directly to you. Open your consciousness beyond the immediate present which then falls into its right perspective and is no longer a worry or a threat. Fill your being with My love, just as the sun can warm you through as you relax and absorb its rays. If a sponge full of water is placed in a flagon of wine, it can absorb very little. Empty out the water – the drops of worry or concern, the drops of irritation or tense expression. These are mostly of your own imaginings, but while you are so full of them, there is no room for my love and power.

Be still then and know that I am your Lord. Know My will and My ways for you and align to them daily. Thus may your path be one of harmony and joy, of gaiety and real vision. Transcend the petty cares that wear you down; they have no part in My kingdom. But reject Me, then a thousand more cares will follow in their wake. If you are filled with Me and My love, what room is there then for care? Your life will be ordered and whole, and you will know that I am within the centre of that whole, within the centre of your being. So turn within my children, turn and you shall know that I am there. Listen to those who tell you this. They are sent as guides along your way. Follow their guiding and you will find that I am on your own way too. Do not all the rays of the sun issue from the one source and as they turn again, they can see the source from whence they came? I am this source. Men have clothed Me in robes of adornment or hidden Me away in special places. I am there but I am also with you wherever you shall be – know this to be true. When you are with others, be with them fully and when you turn to Me give Me your all.

What I have to say is not just for one group at one time; it is for all people at all times. I do not belong to one group alone, I belong to all, all belong finally to Me. Those who know this is so, will know hoy indeed. The birds know, the flowers know, the earth, grass and sky know. Everything in creation seeks to be at its best and open themselves to Me. Be sweet as the new mown hay, be free as the country air, be firm as the mighty hills and alive as the rushing torrents. All life comes from Me and I am to be found when you are quiet and hearken. Within your own being. Praise, blessings to you all.

The Infinite Expressions

As you move in your consciousness from the outer world to within your own being, so you find you are exploring greater depths of Myself. Man encompasses so much within himself, so much that has been buried or undiscovered, while his pre-occupations have been with material existence. This too is important and has a part to play in the pattern, but as the time for each is right, man’s consciousness can move within and find that I am there with him.

As you withdraw into the inner consciousness so you find yourself slowly becoming in tune with the same consciousness that is within all things. Your growing need for the natural world is coming as you are able to reflect the thought patterns and the being of all creatures, of all creation. Your growth in the understanding of all men comes alongside your understanding Me. Your attainment of the oneness you seek will increase daily as all is based on Me. As you sit and absorb the feeling of a tree, of a plant, think of My force that is contained within, thin of it as being of the same life-stock as yourself, all creatures, all creation and your brothers; are of the same family of light and love. Some are yours to cherish; deal then kindly with each one whether plants or children. Help each to be the best that they fashioned to be. Each will ultimately be a perfection, a perfect expression of My love. As numerous are the expressions as the stars in the heavens, but each is interlinked as a pattern. The web forming this patter is LOVE and as the consciousness of each one awakens to this love so the pattern can come more fully alive, can shine with the glory with which it was endowed from the beginning.

Everything is growing towards this glory. Most steps have been slow in coming; some are speeded up beyond all recognition. Your Father holds in His loving care the growth of each one and each one will grow as the time is right. You only need to play your part as it is asked daily of you.

Rejoice as you see My wholeness coming. Rejoice in the infinite expression of My one love. This unity towards which you each are moving is fundamentally a growing awareness of Me, for I am the ONE on which all is based. Discover this for yourself. Reveal this to others and rejoice in the increasing growth of evolving man. Use all that is discovered for good and only good will come.

Praise, praise, love and rejoice and all your know to be within yourselves will come into being; all will love all and will be based on Me.

Open the Door

The surest growth and the firmest plan is when the guidance and the growing are rooted firmly in Me. This is how My plan will unfold. This is why your daily attunement with Me is the most valuable thing you can do. Find time daily, as you feel My warmth around you, find time. If my (My?) warmth is not obvious, it does not mean it is not there. It means you have shut it away from your inner being.

Open the door, and I will straightaway come through again. The old teaching interpreted this as a once in a life-time opening, but I say that each must open daily, hourly, minute be second. An ever open door creates a channel for My power and glory to manifest.

This is the secret, so do not hurry away to discuss, or to think. Of course, this is valuable too, but the real joy and unfolding comes through the ever open door. This is how My new world will be created, and the more there are who open their inner doors to Me, the more My creation can pour in, bringing New Life to a hungry world.

My world is ever hungry and has a listening need  to all who can lead the way – for all who can speak with an inner knowing – to all who can love despite all appearances or outward signs.

Love My world, listen to Me and all else will follow. This is the true way of rejoicing; this is the path of peace and true creation.

You know as you speak to Me, so know this constantly, by the hour, by the living second, reveal My essence from within yourself. Whenever you wish to know, whenever you wish to feel, turn within. Find this oneness with Me. This is the path of peace and righteousness for which so many are seeking. Each one who dwells on this will find themselves dwelling on Me. You will find this will answer any need. This is the great joy which is sleeping within each one.

I am within each one. I am within the next one. I am one. When they find that I am one, then they, too, must be one, and peace, love and joy will reign.

Praise be to you all.

Behold, I make all things new

Behold, I make all things new. I will make the rough paths smooth, the crooked ways straight, buy I need open hearts, humble hearts, listening hearts, hearts that are not puffed up with their own selves, but only with the wonder of Me. This laying aside the wonder of self to find the wonder of Me, comes to all in time and has its own fulfilling. To some it can only come when there is nothing of self left; others. When they have achieved their desires and found they have yet not found all. See Mein all – see Me in everyone and like the April rain, or the summer sun, help shower My love upon them that they may grow. But it must be selfless love; love without fear; love without restraint; love in its abundance and joy.

Turn within, and find all that is beautiful and true. My truth is not one-sided – it has many facets; all of the same truth by presented to each one according to his need and his work. When thought on quietly and with Me, those aspects which are for the present learning will be revealed. Do not rush. Let everything grow gently as in the spring. A plant that is forced has not the same savour.

Each one should be encouraged and allowed to blossom in due time. There is a difference between good, gentle, discipline, and forcing into alien ways. Again, it is a balance that is required. Ponder on this balance, for my oneness is at the centre of all things. I know I say this often, but it is an important truth. My oneness, which all must seek, is at the centre – the inner peace, the inner harmony, the inner goal. It is from the centre that all growth springs. Think of a plant, think of a child, think of a bird in the egg, think of a piece of music, think of a poem, a wave and a song. All grow from within – from the centre of their own being, or from the centre of the one who creates.

Thus were all created – from the centre. So find this centre by looking not at the irregularities, but at the shared experience; not at the fringes but at the core; not at the details but at the growth of the Whole. As the Whole grows from the centre, so it absorbs all that is around the side. This must either be absorbed or turned away. If you are to do My absorbing work, you must be constantly centred.

I am the Truth

I am the truth. At the centre of yourselves you will find that I am there.

Think of a see-saw. When pointed in one direction it will seem unbalances, but when levelled in the centre it will seem one again, and you will know that I am that one. This balancing must take time; this has to happen for everyone.

There are many tributaries of a river, but I want them to flow in My one main stream. This can only happen when those I love are willing, humble and open, not to think that their tributary is the right one and push others into it, but when they will earnestly seek for My main stream – My stream of love and oneness into which all may flow. Others can point the way, but they are not The Way. All must be included. It is each contribution which swells the mighty steam, and the more swollen it is the more the force of it must drag others in.

When those in a tributary come to the main stream, they will see that they are now flowing from the source. By the time the river reaches the sea, it contains each and every tributary. This is why uou must be open. It is good to be cautious, but not fearful, because fear will exclude – this will impede the flow of the river. You will find that evil, as you might call it, will not flow into My river if it is full of light an love. How can darkness, how can mistrust, how can envy, sorn or poison, mix with light and love? It will flee, as it has ever done, but each will have the choice of joining the river – it must contain all My loved ones; none must be excluded, unless of their own choosing.

Those who open the gates into this main river must be strong and steadfast, or the current will sweep them into eddies and basins. So, grow daily; look to your source daily, and My love and light will be with you.

The Power of Love

I want man to learn that the power of love is as real a power as the oil he burns or the electricity he has learned to create. This is the energy with which all was created. This is the energy against which all is ultimately powerless. It is a source of energy which can never dry up as the means for its creation are within yourselves and neither time nor age can exhaust these.

These are the riches for you all to seek. Watch and look for those feelings within you which stem the flow of love. Each time you see one, over-ride or place it aside and My love will break through you again. The flow of My love through each one creates a circuit and the greater the circuit, the greater the power of love it will hold. But even one negative switching of this circuit will block or reverse the current and hate is love reversed inward; self-pity, irritation, anxiety, fear are love reversed inward. Learn to find the switch that will reverse the current that it may flow again. The switch is different for each one, but learn to see this love flowing and growing.

This was the love that others saw in the early church; this is the love that all must see in you and in all who wish to build My Bridge. And how much more quickly can My Bridge be built if the materials are love, joy, positive creative thought. These are both the materials and the energy which will create. Bricks, fields, stones or soil are the backcloth against which you build, but the rate of growth will be as limited as it ever has been if man does not look behind his earth bound ideas and find the ideas which created the heavens.

In the beginning God poured forth His love and everything was created. Find then this love, absorb into yourselves this love, pour forth this love and everything will be re-created anew. This is the New Life that I come to bring and the way is there for each one to follow and find. My love be with you as you go.

Within The Whole My Glory Can Shine

Within the Whole My glory can shine. Man has worked in fragments for too long, which is why there has been so little magnetic effect; a small magnet will only pick up small particles, but as the strength of the magnet is increased, so the power is intensified beyond all normal proportion.

You can think of a magnet, lights, rivers – all these are symbols which help the understanding of My truth. But do not be too dwelt on the symbols themselves, on words themselves – always look behind for the meaning. Symbols are only important if they point the way to a deeper meaning, and this deeper meaning can only be found by going within. This is where manding has lost its way. If one does not turn within, then the symbols will be all that there is. And how men love to argue over symbols – they still will argue daily. Once turned within, they will find that the truth is One, and the symbols will fall away having played their part; they must be allowed to fall away as the snake sheds it’s skin.

The snake must shed its skin, or it cannot grow, but having shed, its progress would be much hampered by dragging the old skin along with it. Have gentle understanding for those still in their old skins, for those who are straining to break through, but who are held back by prejudice and fear. Be not so gentle with those who are dragging the old skins along behind. Tell them firmly to drop them – as the pod falls from the seed; as the shell falls from the new born chick, or the nest falls to the ground when the birds have flown. This nest is there for their nurturing, and having played its part should be allowed to fall free. Nothing is ever lost or wasted, but it must not hamper growth. As this is grasped, there can be no turning back. My way is one of growth, or freedom, of joy. A swimmer must leave his arm bands or water wings on the shore if he is to explore the deeps – left behind not to be scorned, but with gratitude for the part they played in service for the greater growths. I AM that growth – I AM that life – so grow in Me.

 

The Seed of Love

Each new day you will all grow in some way. This is the opportunity of each day dawning. So look on each day with joy, with hope, expectation – for in that day is the change for each to grow. You are now aware of the part each plays in the evolution of the whole. This was the gift I gave to man – this is the gift that he has at times realised, but he has so often thought that he himself would direct the evolving. This is not so. The blue print, the master plan was conceived in the beginning. Look at the start of Genesis or John: “And with out Him was not anything made that was meade, In Him was Life and the Life was the light of men.”

From the beginning your ultimate perfection was conceived and the pattern for this is within you all – within each one and within each other. Your discovery of my evolving pattern will aid this growth; will hasten the coming of my kingdom on earth, but it will not change the pattern. This is where man needs to be humble and co-operate with his maker; needs to listen to his part in the plan; needs to follow the natural laws which were from before time. You are the gardeners in the natural kingdom and I am the gardener in your lives. The buttercup will grow to its own glory and you, the gardener, will clear its path, but the growth comes from within itself. So too, will you each grow. I am the master gardener indeed, but you each provide the sun, the rain, the warmth for each other, and this warmth is love. With this live man can grow to his fullest flowering. Love is the harmony on which all has ever been based. Man sees in the cross a glimpse of this love. And each glimpse can lead toa greater knowing, can lead to a glorious resurrection, a harmonious awakening, as each soul comes to bather in the love and power which is Mine to give. Become then channels for My love. In My love there can be no divisions. When you love another, you ask not his colour, his creed, you do not need to know the stage his intellectual grasp has reached. You need to find the seed of love within him – pour onto this then your own love and he cannot fail to blossom into a fuller flowering.

Break Free

The dove can fly to it’s nest and the nightingale sing from the roof. The lark can rise in the morn and they all know that I am there. Listen to the birds as they sing and rejoice, and try to be equally free. Tell those around you not to fret or care. Doth not your heavenly father know if a sparrow falls to the ground, does He not hold you all in his care and keeping? If only you could see your anxieties as I can see them, like black threads wrapping your life around like a cocoon. Break free of them and in your mind soar like the birds l see events from further viewpoint and My perspective will be your own.
Blessings, rejoice and be well.

Be My Jewel

It takes all My branches to make My beautiful tree. It takes all My feathers to line My nest and it takes all My jewels to make up the riches setting in My crown. So be My jewel – shine the best that you can and do not strive to be live another.

Stop

Try to slow down the pace of living so that the inner harmony can be constantly revealed. STOP when life gets too fast; STOP, pause, re-harmonise with Me, re-harmonise with each other – then continue. If that pattern is followed then wars, strife and all the dissension would cease to be, because the misunderstanding or negative flow that brings then into being would cease to be. Look at each person you meet as a messenger from Me. Find the part of Me that is within them and harmonise with the part of Me that is within you, then the riches of My kingdom can grow.

A Building Stone

You will know when the time is right for each new step to be revealed; in the meantime bring the harmony you are learning into your daily lives. This harmony must grow within all My loved ones, and I love all and you must love all for Me. The more you love Me, the more you will love each one I place in your way. Think on the meaning of this. A person or an obstacle is only in your way if you choose for it to be; so look at it differently and it can be a building- stone, a step to progress to a greater understanding and a greater love. Love must be at the centre of all you do – and My love will grow in those around you. Peace to all.

Closeness

My ways of growing in each one are such as are suited to them. I know you all and love you all. I am waiting beside you all. As remote or as near as the consciousness of each one will bring Me. At times of closeness I can communicate directly, but at time of remoteness I must use other ways. Cultivate these times of closeness – they are the riches of the soul. The close times in any relationship are when we are free to be ourselves. I say we, for, as I have said before, a relationship is a two way unfolding. So be close, and keep those you love most close to you. Cherishing brings closeness; warmth brings closeness. Chill are the times when these are missing. Yes, it is the negative feelings which bring the chill and it is the chill that separates; separates Myself from each one and each one from the other, So show warmth and love and joy and a close trusting will grow in all.

Turn Within

Praying and talking to Me are not two difference things. When we spear, I am within you; when you work, I am within you. Remember I am there all the time. You have seen how I know all your needs, of course I do: “Closer He is than breathing, nearer than hands and feet.” I am with you in your joys and in your sadness. I am with you when you are quiet and when you are lively. I know all your needs both large and small and these can be met constantly, but you do need to turn within to meet Me there. Try to find short times in the day for doing this. I know it is not easy, by man must learn the need he has for quiet solitude. It is not strange that life is a strain if man cannot find a haven of peace to be with Me. Life will always be a strain if this haven of peace is not found, and it is found …. within. There can be no answers to your questions until you turn within.

Be Firmly Grounded

As your pace is adjusting to a slower rhythm, then all will grow in you as in an opening flower. Grow in Me, grow gently, grow steadily. Everything is part of life. Being with Me is not a separate part of life – this is life. It is true that in the early stages a plant needs careful nurturing and the right conditions to thrive. But as growth comes so it will prevail against adverse climes and it needs not such gently protection. So you will find that you can be with Mein the company or others, you will hear My voice even in the crowded day, a hostile throng, or a sudden storm. This is why you have to learn to be firmly grounded that you clow not with each breeze, but as the mighty oak rustle only at the tips even in the strongest wind. I know that there seems to be much to learn and the lessons of being open and willing to Me may seem incompatible with those of staying firmly centred; but this is the combination you have to find, like a runner through the thickest wood who wishes to make progress quickly, but can only do this by finding the shortest way. It is the inner knowing that will help in the finding of the way.

Look Up

Rejoice in the not knowing. It is like this when you are writing. If you try to think what is coming next then you entirely lose what is coming now. It is like this with life – if you are too busy looking ahead you miss that which is for today. Look unto this day. Of course you must plan to a certain extend, but too much planning can tie you down. You need freedom to be able to act on a thought from Me. Freedom within the week, freedom within the day, freedom within the hour. But this freedom can still only be found by following the day’s activities. Be free of life’s web of anxieties and concerns. The events and people that are part of the day will still be there, but be not so embroiled with them that you cannot see where you are going. Where you are going? You are going to ME, where all will go, but your path and those of many others is like a maze, so many twists and turns that the getting there is tedious and difficult. Cut through the maze and make a way straight to Me. What is the maze? Those happenings, tasks, situations, occurrences and concerns – the jigsaw of which life is composed – the crazy paving on which each must walk. But if, like Christopher Robin, you are over anxious not to step on the lines and the squares, the journey will be slow and difficult and you will not enjoy the way. So look up – ignore the lines – the bears are only in your imagination, and as you look up they will go from you. As you look up you will see the way ahead, you will hear My voice and know My peace. So look up and be free.

By Loving You Shall Know

Desirelessness is certainly a stage to attain, so give Me your desires and we look at them, give Me your not knowing and then we can know. All things in Me are in My knowing and by loving you shall know. So do not run from those whose ways are not your own. Love them and know them as they come to you and I will grow in each one. It may seem that you are asked to turn two ways at once, but in the end you will see that this is not so.

I Am Limitless

Man’s enlightenment can only grow slowly as his knowledge of Me increases. He cannot progress faster than his own growing awareness is capable – this is the limitation. I am not the limitation for I am limitless. As you all feel the growth of ME within, so your minds and hearts will be open to understand everything as it is revealed. This revelation can be described as light, it can be described as love or as truth. The important thing is for each one to drop his/her own limitations – those which creeds or outmoded thinking can bring, and search for the discoveries of My greater kingdom. In truth, as more of Me is revealed from within My beloved people then the more men will understand the glory and I share with My Father, that you all will share as your understanding grows. What I come to say is for everyone who will turn and listen. This is My thought for you to indwell.

Attunement

The details of My plan for you are not so fully important as learning to attune to Me. From this attunement all else will naturally grow. Remember this each day and all will be well. All be light and all will be joy. Love must transform the being of each one.

The Rising Sun

You fo not feel close when you are clocking the way with negative thoughts of self pity or concern. Turn away from these and they will fade as the darkness fades with the rising sun. I am the rising sun within you so expand within; when filled entirely with Me the darkness cannot enter, but must straightway be dispelled. Dwell on me and I shall dwell in you. Trust and know that each step is for the ultimate good in every situation and see only the good in each person. Turn every criticism to good effect and joy will grow in you all.

Do Not Dwell on the Failures

Be free to follow My daily leading and walk close to Me daily. In this way not ime is wasted and each moment can be one of joy and fulfilment. Create joy in each hour, sustain others in their labours and in their searching for Me, Of course you fail, many times a day. But do not dwell on the failures. Look again to the light and follow the star which shines constantly above.

Love is the Coinage of the New Age

My little child, the days away from me are dark indeed and the days near are like crystal compared. You need the days away to realise what it is like for those in the gathering darkness, but grow now in closeness to Me, grow in the goodness of a little brother to all. Be gentle, be tender, be careful yet free. Love all people and all creatures. LOVE IS COURAGE OF THE NEW AGE. As a man loves, so he will be rich. Yes, love has to prune and weed, but love brings growth in all things.

A Way Through

You must find this daily guiding within. The path that this brings is silver and straight. It finds the pass between the mountains it finds the bridges over streams, the stepping stones over even a mighty river. There is always a way through. Give everything to Me.

The Weaver

The ways of an individual may seem right for a time, but rest assured that I can see the perfect whole, and I am weaving the design.

A master weaver would have a difficult task if each thread decided its own direction. The final pattern can only emerge from the master’s hands if each thread is pliable, to be bent according to the design. The task of each thread is not to direct the guiding of the whole, but to shine in its own true colour to give life and warmth to the total whole.

The total whole cannot be perfect with one thread missing, and I can only love that thread into playing its part and you must do the same. Love any obstacles, love people in their doubts, love those in resentment or sorrow, love those in distress or idleness.

Love can achieve all things and love is the foundation on which all must be built. So pour forth love – yes, even to the plants, to all in your care. Does not the sun shine on the just and the unjust? They only have to turn and see it and it will warm them into perfection.

Be ye perfect even as I am perfect, and I will love you all while you grow.

Each Thread Will Fall Into Place

The other day I said how each thread must not decide its own directing, but weave according to the directing of the one who guides. Today I say, each thread must be allowed to weave its way without hindrance from the others. No thread can know the final design and no thread can direct the weaving of another. But each must leave room for the other to fall into its own place and each must be willing to come together for the final consummation when the plan is perfected and give as an offering to the one who reigns in highest heaven.

My Orchestra

Preparation is essential – it is never wasted – the roots are a vital part of the tree. Spread then your roots as you meet and discuss with others on the way. Each link you make has an enriching part to play; nothing is ever wasted if turned to positive and creative use. Encourage each one as they see their own path open ahead. All will be included and each training has its purpose and its time. I love you all, remember that. None is more or less equal in my sight. All will be included and each training has its purpose and its time. I love you all, remember that. None is more or less equal in my sight. All are valued and treasured as a perfect part in a perfect whole. Be then perfect in your part. Allow others to be perfect in their parts. From this individual perfection comes the glory and joy of the whole which together we can bring. Do not be dismayed when some do not understand. Their part in the whole will have a later time to bring its own value and its own reward. Never turn from one who meets you on the way. Always be open and always look humbly at what another seeks to share. In this way nothing will be wasted or lost and all will come to a joyful awakening.

You see how daily I am guiding each one. Daily the orchestra, My orchestra, will play music of greater harmony and beaty. My joy will resonate. So never hold back, always give and grow and each day will be part of the growing.

I Am The Way

Non attachment to distress; non attachment to possessions; non attachment to those around you; non attachment to the pillars of the church or even the Bible. Every word in the Bible in My word, but an over concern with this for too long can block an individual’s personal way to Me. To be free, limitless and full of Me. “Know the truth and the truth shall make you free”, is something to ponder over. To know means to know for yourself, not to follow the knowing of others. Other people should be pointers of the way to follow, but they are not the way. I AM THE WAY. I AM THE TRUTH. I AM THE LIFE> Know this in your very being and this indeed shall make you free.

Sing Unto The World A New Song

Sing unto the world a new song. A song of joy, of new meaning, a song of laughter, praise and exultation. The song will be taken up in the streets, echoed in the hills, carried over the water and everywhere man shall sing; “Behold the Lord is in the Highest Heavens. Behold the Heavens are in my heart. Behold my God is within each of us, among each of us and between each of us.” Speak not then of sorrow, of anguish or dismay. Speak only of joy and love, show only kindess and concr, hold out a hand to all and happiness will reign. Share this with others and so your will see joy spread like fire in the hearts. My child, wherever you find yourself – spread joy. Each drop is like a grain of mustard seed – it will grow and the birds may rest in its branches. Do you now see where is the kingdom of heaven?

Spread this then ……………………………..always.
