SPICE
I am here to lead. If you listen with your soul you can hear my
directions.
To follow the heart is not always wise, for the heart belongs to this
body and this life, whereas it is the soul which is everlasting and
eternal. Take time to know your soul. It is through this my guidance
will be heard.
For your development on this earth you will be given more than one path.
Take no heed of the head or heart for they will surely take you along
the wrong path. I correct myself when I say the wrong path for there is
no right or wrong. What I say is the right path for your development on
this earth.
I am always with you and will guide you on whichever path you take. I
will never leave you and am always attuned to your struggles and inner
conflicts.  If you trust in me and know your soul you can be sure that 
whatever you need will be given. It may not always be things which you
ask for or the things you think you need in a materialistic way. These
things are of no importance. The important things are the ones that
matter to the soul's development. At present you are not ready for the
job for which I have given you this life. Soon you will know. Already
there is an awakening.
This takes time. As the spring turns to summer and the bud into flower,
so shall the soul develop. Then you will be ready to take on the role
and work for me through me. As I say. As I have said. So shall be done.
To question is good. Even when you question my reasons this too is good,
for from questioning you will know that the knowledge comes from me and
no other source. Never believe what is told by man unless you have
questioned that man and know  that what he says is how it is or how it
shall be.
Scars are good, whether physical or mental. For they remind you not to
make the same mistake twice.
In suffering you learn more lessons than in happiness. In happiness you
ask no questions but accept what is so. In suffering you ask why me?
When will this pain go away? You suffer but a short time of the life you 
have on earth but remember this more readily than happiness. So learn
while you suffer and know that every thing has a reason and is so  for a
reason.
Imagination plays tricks. It is not always son. Once a seed is sown it
will grow. But it could be that what you thought was as apple and
nurtured and tended as an apple, once grown is not an apple but a pear.
And the pear is more sweet and succulent. A much better fruit than the
apple you thought of.
What you imagined (I say imagined because it was not the truth) was that
you were growing and apple tree and you pictured the future with your
tree fully grown and laden with apples. In truth you had planted a pear 
tree. Not what you wanted or imagined, but when you taste the fruit you
will be more pleased than with tasting any apple. You did not get what
you wanted but something as good as, if not better.
To give is a selfless act, but do not give in the hope of a reward for
you will be disappointed. Give freely of you own free will. This will
lighten your load  you carry and thus speed your journey.
Sometimes people on this earth are of a selfish nature. This is a
destructive force and will not gain you any distance on the path. To be
selfish is a very heavy burden and weighs heavy on the soul. If you
carry this on your journey is will slow down your progress.
If you plant a cherry you have planted it so that you can taste the
fruit. But the fruit attracts the birds and they eat all your cherries.
Do you become angry because you have not tasted the fruit? Do you scare
away the birds and deny them the fruit?
OR
Do you enjoy seeing all the birds on your tree enjoying the fruit? Enjoy
the memory of the pleasant evenings when you gazed at the wonderful
colour and beauty of the flowers and when the aroma of the blossom
filled the air?
It is a pleasure to share the creations of nature. But even more will be
given, for the seeds which have been dropped by the birds will create
more trees and more blossom and many many more cherries.
To give is a selfless act. But do not give in the hope of a reward for
you will be disappointed. Give freely of your own free will. This will
lighten the load you carry along the path and thus speed your journey.
Try and listen to what is said by others. When the say they are well and
happy they say this because many people on the earth want to hear this.
The questioners are too burdened with their own lives and problems to 
care about how you really are or if they can help you.
If you listen to the meaning rather than the words you will be able to
help others and so help yourself. There are many lessons to be learnt
from giving service to others.
Not only will you take your mind if your own problems but many times you
will realise that your problems are small and nor problems at all. It
was just that you had enough time on your hands to spare time to
worrying about what you consider your problems.
Instead spend this time helping others and occupy your mind with
thoughts of others, leaving no room or time to waste on whether you
should buy this or that or go here or there or if you will like someone
or they you. 
Help others. Be of service. Be a friend. For the reward of a life of
service to others is of greater value than one of acquiring wealth and
status.
LOVE EVERYONE
LOVE EVERYTHING
WARS ARE NOT CREATED BY LOVE. THEY ARE CREATED BY SELFISHNESS, GREED,
THE NEED TO HAVE POWER OVER OTHERS, THE NEED TO CONTROL.
POWER IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
