Spirit Guidance and the Power of Love

In the best of times it is incumbent upon man to remember that at each step of his earthly journey he is surrounded by the spirits of those he has been bound to in love during his earthly journeys and on the heavenly plane. With this awareness, man finds it easier to pursue the paths of love. He finds it easier to do those things he should do in the name of love and to forswear the temptations of earthly existence in an awareness of his spiritual needs.

From the beginning of creation God intended earth to be for man a place of pleasure and holiness, a place where each soul could enjoy those experiences which were necessary for him to reach understanding of perfect love and to live his life at each step of the way satisfying this basic need. Much has been written of the experiences of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Know now that this is myth, but it exemplifies the plight of man once he had forgotten the divine mandate to live in love and fallen into worldly pleasures and concerns.

This did not happen quickly, nor did it happen in all places. There are still places in the world today where communities of men and women live out their lives in total love and devotion, and within the larger communities of the world today other men and women are aware of the needs of their brothers and know the pleasures of living in love.

There is no joy like the joy of giving and receiving love, of being bound to another soul by these tender ties. Such lives of love are at all times lightened by the awareness of the overwhelming love that God feels for His loving children. At all times, as I have said, there are many roads to the joy of oneness, but each of the roads is a road of love. There is no other way. This is, as I have said, God's single requirement of all His children, all those souls He longs to take to Him in the oneness of perfect love. Until all men know and recognize this overwhelmingly important truth, the world will continue to be an imperfect place. Until all men enter the Age of Love and Peace in an active seeking to transform this earthly plane with words and deeds of love, the world will know suffering of the body and suffering of the spirit.

Know though, My children, that the Age of Love and Peace is upon us, and that it is destined that all men hear the voices of those loving spirits who seek to guide him in the paths of love and seek to fill his heart and soul with awareness of the beauty of love given and received. Love engenders love, always. Love has an inevitability of its own. Love lights the way when the way is darkest. Love turns away anger. Love inspires hope in the most hopeless. Love is the gift of God that man, all men, must learn to cherish above all other gifts. Many who dwell in this presently imperfect world have learned this truth and seek to change their world for the better in every loving way within their powers. It is the wish of God that these numbers become legion and that in the New Age of Love and Peace all the world will know the joy of a universe transformed by love.
