Why is love greater than faith and hope?
If faith, being poor, cannot help you, try love. Mark my words—
Your very endeavour to prove your love to Him will make you rich in the assurance of His love. It will fill your soul—it will save you utterly. Love for you, also, will be the law's fulfilment.

What does God say about the nature of man?
Man is the crown, you say, but Nature does not think so. Man thinks that of himself. But whether he is the crown or not, he is no more immortal than the rest of living and created things. Nature is as careful of her lowest treasures, as she is of man.—Spirit Herr Franz

What gives you peace of mind?
So expect just that, take it as a matter of course, and learn to say—What difference does it make? Learn to feel that the past is past, that the future alone has possibilities for you, and that the sooner you leave other persons to manage your discarded earthly affairs, the better it will be for your own tranquility. Be prepared to let go. That is the first point I wish to make.—The Judge

Is time a thing or a concept?
To find the boy who came out accidentally by drowning.
You wonder at the expression passing time?
Did you fancy it was anything else?
The Union with the All is another matter.

Is hell real? Is hell eternal?
Those dark realms are not the theological hell to which people arecondemned for all eternity, once in, never out again.
And here is a living witness to what I say.
In my home, there was only one person to be thought of, and that was myself. The rest of the family didas they were told—and I did the telling.
The house I occupied was my own, and of such size and situation as befitted my position in the world. Inevery respect, I regarded myself as a god. It was not until I came to the spirit world that I discoveredthat I was one, made of tin, the sorriest, shabbiest god that ever existed.
The inside was in keeping with the outside, poorly, meanly furnished.
I did not seem able to leave the premises—I felt glued to the house.
A grim, dismal outlook in a literalsense.
To whom was I to turn in my difficulties?
I suppose I must have emitted some kind of thought in request of assistance.
I had to make up for all that was past. It washard work, but I never lacked friends.

Are our lives controlled by fate?
I have often wondered about the law of reincarnation. Will you please make it clear to me?
There is no partiality in the astral.
Each time a soul qualifies, there is written in the Book of Fate, the word Truth.
But I was told once that those who wanted to return to earth could do so if they willingly took lives inferior to their advancement and which were not assigned to them in the Book of Fate.
Fate assigns the test.

The cause of right over wrong?
Let the brave who have mastered prejudice, scorn and ridicule come forth—your services are needed in the cause of right over wrong. The field is open—duty lies at the door of your religious principles—to subdue manfully such foes as are the errors founded upon old mythological ideas, which ought not to enter into the pure morality of the present day.

The great law of the universe?
Laws are potent, and when we take into consideration that all are governed by immutable, unchangeable law, how can we depart from the idea that all that ever was is in existence today? It is the mind that becomes clouded and that recedes from this principle instead of changes taking place in the great law of the Universe.

Learning of evil?
Man has to separate and develop apart from God the source of his life to attain individuality and perfect himself before he can return to Him. Through the limitations of his physical body man learns judgment. He wanders far from God, learning of evil to master it, conquering the lower self of his physical body to control it.—Claude in Spirit

There is nothing that makes one feel so sure of being in the Father's house, as these continuous experiences whence we discover that all our life whether here or on earth is one.

What must you have to secure more than you have?
An open mind and a hospitable heart are what you must have to secure more than you have of anything. Follow your own inner light and work on your personal defects with the idea of getting your whole mental and spiritual system loosened up, just as you would work on a stiff muscle.

What is the great creator?
Do you know what you really desire? When you do, you arrive because desire is the great creator. Desire and love. There is nothing on earth as strong as these. All bend before and beneath them.

Happiness is in the air?
Happiness is in the air—the blessing of the Great Father is upon us—His joy, His peace and His understanding are gifts for our own possession. Let us take them and be thankful. Let us regret nothing, let us rejoice always, for in the Father's Mind there are many plans in which we are included and in that great Purpose of drawing us back to the God from whom we came, we, too, will play our part.

This then is our hope?
This then is our hope—the hope of all—the consciousness, the certainty that we are drawing nearer and nearer to the desire of the Spirit and if only we cling close to the things which are of God—happiness, real happiness, during our physical life will keep step with us as we go.

How far has your life force travelled?
You represent a life-force that has travelled about one-half its journey and has secured somewhat less than one-half its development. That is, the life that is in you has since the beginning of time traversed all the kingdoms from the mineral to the higher animal kingdom, a distance of about one-half its journey to completion—and has evolved somewhat less than half the vitality and strength necessary to your eternal life.

When Spirit Speaks I
Have you ever stumbled upon a hidden piece of history that felt less like a discovery and more like a calling?
They are vibrant, comforting, and instructional voices echoing from the past—ranging from the poetic, soothing nature imagery of Little Nippon, to the practical, grounded advice of Uncle Alf, and the profound cosmic insights of Tee Hun and Wu Lan.
True spiritual growth cannot be rushed—it must be breathed in, contemplated, and lived.
Step inside, open your heart, and join us for Volume 1 of When Spirit Speaks—a gentle, authentic journey straight into the essence of our world.
Revelation is given to those who strive, and wish to learn. It is never doled out in charity.
Anything worthwhile is not handed out out on a plate. We have to work for our spiritual food.
A childlike trust in God, without preconceived ideas—with true prayer from guidance can work wonders.
Pray! The rest is left with God and His ministers. For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways is no empty promise.
Seek only for the highest and the best, and the fruit of the tree will guide your steps
LITTLE NIPPON
MAN, KNOW THYSELF
But we will teach you how to raise yourselves as a group to the various levels that you can reach. You cannot reach very high, but you are manifesting as human beings, but you can in comparison with the average person, almost reach to Heaven itself, for this world of yours is inhabited by very dark souls, and those that are not dark, are ignorant, and those that are not ignorant, are foolish, and those that are not foolish, are blind and sick. You often wonder perhaps the way we encourage you to go forth and heal, for instance, and you have said, I do not know what to do, my power doesn't seem to be great. I don't seem to be able to heal the people, and we say to you, you will not know the extent of the good you have done until you pass to Spirit. It is because of the crying need of the teeming millions in your world, your overpopulated planet, for any planet is overpopulated when the people are for the main part sick.
You are so well-loved from Spirit, each one of you, and when you see aught amiss, how can we judge between you when you do not see eye to eye—who can judge between you?
As the Lord said to the young man, Who made me a divider between you and your brother?' Who made me a judge over you?' How can you judge between people that you love equally well? That is why we do not pass opinions on controversies in your world.
If you realise the potential of love alone in your midst—as you speak in modern parlance, it would shake you, for love is the motive power of all righteous working, and all righteous achievement. You will receive the light of Spirit, each one of you. Fear not, little flock. Now if there is nothing more you desire to know, I will depart. Give my love to the one who is not present. She is sending thoughts to you all, and she has uttered a prayer for you all, and so we from Spirit wish to acknowledge the receipt of that love.
You will close your circle, and then decide what you desire to do together, but do not forget the message of importance. Foster one another in health—it matters not how often you pray and lay on hands—it matters not how often you pray for one another. Lift one another up, especially when your souls are winging upwards—see that you take your brothers and sisters with you into the Light. Not one of you must be left to sickness of any kind. Goodnight and God bless you all.
If a father is asked by his son for bread, will he give him a stone?—Uncle Alf
UNCLE ALF
Oft-times the disciples used to get quite sort of bewildered when Jesus would suddenly say out of the blue, Let's go in a boat—let's go up into the hills—let's go to Bethlehem, and you know, once when He said that He had set His face towards Jerusalem, they got very upset; they said, The Jews are out gunning for you—they will kill you the first chance they get, and they all knew that, but Jesus gave His answer, There are twelve hours in a day when a man can work—the hours of light, but the darkness comes when no man can work. This is a very deep lesson that all you workers for Spirit must learn.
You are taught the lesson that you must not force anything. You have to be able to recognize there is a time to work and a time to rest—a time to play, a time to talk, and a time to be silent. But when the hours are light, when the work is given to you, don't cavil and don't argue. GO AND WORK.
Jesus knew that until His mission was accomplished, no-one could harm a hair of His head. He told Pilate that, but Pilate couldn't see beyond the end of his nose; he didn't know what He was talking about. He said, Unless My Father gave it to you, you would have no power over me, which is quite true. And when you learn to work in the light that God sends you, and you face it bravely, and know within your heart that nothing can harm you, until that work be done, whatever it is—when you are dedicated as you are, you learn a mighty truth, and you learn one that gives you peace, because you are not forever fretting and straining against the bit. Spirit doesn't work that way. On the world you have lots of grand tales about people who have overcome stupendous obstacles, and accomplished this and that, but our Lord Jesus did nothing by force, and He taught that nothing can be done by force.
TEE HUN—CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Eventually you will see that the spirit, for instance, who has in a lifetime been willful, lustful, selfish, evil—how can they pay? What good can they do? When they manifest in such a way, they pay a little of their debt, because they give to others the opportunity of gaining credit.
This is a very difficult thing for a tender heart to understand, we know. That is why you are taught to have faith in God's Law and God's Love—you may not understand, but the day will come when you will understand, as the great teacher Paul said, Now you see through the glass darkly, but then you will see clearly' It is good to have compassion, although pity that is not directed, is useless. It is and it can be an emotion that wearies both you and its object If it takes a form of prayer and intercession, then it can be a very great and wonderful thing, but to merely harrow your mind with emotion of pity that is misdirected, or not directed at all, is indeed not the way of true action and progression.
