My family

 
A Spirit World Message.

In my childhood I lived in the rural area of Transkei, in a small village with the name of Qunu. In this tribe, the Xhosa tribe, where I belonged as part of the Thembu clan, I learned about my family, about my culture; how to behave, how to play in this beautiful land where I experienced nature with my friends. There were many children who enjoyed life in such a peaceful place. My father had several wives and my mother was his third wife. At that time, several families were of this culture. It was not my preference, and I believe, not my mother´s preference either, but we were a family, a family where love and care were the fundament.

The experience that you have received in childhood, you bring with you throughout your life. You consider your own family in contrast to other families, other cultures. The family with a husband and a wife, a family where the children belong to one unity, that is my preference. That is how I see it today, where the child can learn in a safe environment where there is confidence, trust and loyalty between the parents. The character of the family is what the child has as a reference for building its own life in adulthood.

Through my marriages with Evelyn and Winnie, I had many children, a family that has grown and that will see a new perspective of living, of life itself, with new generations. With my third wife, Grace, in late adulthood, there was unity and love but no children. Unity and love is paramount in the family. Intolerance, impatience, disloyalty, dishonesty or the fact that you cannot live together due to controversies, may cause a family to dissolve, but the love for my children and my exspouses persists.

My friend, we are all brothers and sisters in this family on earth. It is difficult to comprehend how you can be brothers and sisters when there is so much cruelty and violence in your world. You are born to this earth, everyone, by the same power of love. Your spiritual advancement in life, your moral character, gives you a new perspective. Your spirituality is the key to understanding your family, your great family on earth as well as your own small family. We are one family on earth, one unit created by love. We are here on earth to care for our family; we are here to share the wealth and resources with our brothers and sisters in this communion of love for everyone. This is the fundament.
Care, share and love, these are words that can be put into action by every single soul, this is a mission to be fulfilled by creating a sustainable life and a peaceful world.

When you come to this side of life, when you leave your physical flesh and return to this world, you will get another perspective. We are all spirits in a new life, a new world. Your family on earth is the school of life, to learn all the passions of the material life so you can climb spiritually, so you can bring charity and wisdom to your family. The cruelty of your world can be replaced by love when you find the truth of life, when you see that there is no death, that you are here for a purpose. As a brother or sister you are here to bring love to this family on earth. Extend your love, learn from the Almighty Spirit, learn from nature, from the beauties that were created for you to fulfil yourself, to enjoy yourself, to find the spiritual path to a higher understanding of life, the truth of your self.

Fulfil yourself with this mission of love for your family and you will one day look back from this side of life with joy for what you accomplished in your life on earth, for what you gave of yourself to your beloved family on earth.

Once a Methodist

 
A Spirit World Message.

In my childhood and my youth, the Methodist belief system was very much a part of me. My mother was a true believer of this religion. I myself was born into this direction of life and attended schools of such foundation and belief. In the Methodist teachings, Christ as the saviour is predominant, is the core of this direction of belief that stems from the Protestant church. In the heart of Christ, love for your fellow beings, forgiveness and oneness with God, your Creator, are crucial elements of his teachings. That was my fundament for life as well. However, if I had been born in India, my religion would have been Hinduism. If I had been born in Iran, I would have been raised as a Muslim. If I had been reared in Thailand, I would probably have been a Buddhist. My friend, what I am trying to tell you is that the culture and the conditions that you are born within, have a fundamental impact on you, your own creation, and your belief system.

The dogmas of religion create segregation, and I am certainly not in favour of segregation. We have all been born by the same creative force, the power of love, born by the spirit of God. My belief system, when I walked upon the earth plane, was love for my fellow beings, reconciliation, forgiveness, a dignified life, an equitable and good life for everyone in the spirit of God, the spirit of love. Love is the fundament of my belief, and in love you find no segregation, no racism. We are all the same, of the same importance. God does not differentiate between any of us, as you can perceive from nature itself  the sun shines upon all. They are human made, the gross inequalities and the vast differences that persist all over the world still.

I am speaking to you from the afterlife, from the world beyond where every one of you will arrive when you leave your physical flesh. It is a new world, a new dimension, where segregation is only within people’s minds due to their life on earth, due to their human behaviour when on the earth plane. What you created within yourself, how you built heaven within, or how you built hell within yourself, is what you receive when you come to this side. You judge yourself, the spirit within judges itself, and what you sowed on earth you certainly reap on this side. There is no eternal hell. Hell is a condition of the mind. The terror that you brought to people on earth will be your own terror on this side of life. But there is truth and reconciliation, there is forgiveness, and it is through your own redemption, through love, through respect for your brothers and sisters that you will raise yourself spiritually and leave the terror of your mind.

You can build heaven within, as Christ said in the ancient scriptures, sayings that have many miscomprehensions that have been revised and misconstrued. Where there is love in what you read, in what you perceive, this is the truth. When there is segregation, where there is no love, it cannot be the truth. The dogmas of religions have caused misery for many people. It is about time to revaluate, to revise, the scriptures so their content can be of pure love. It is an injustice to humanity when dogmas in error, which bring suffering to people, still persist in your world, dogmas that do not have a fundament of truth in my world.

To be in oneness with God, within his consciousness of love, to be in oneness with my Creator, is the supreme state of being. There, you will have peace and true felicity in his wisdom of love.

In my world we create with our own thoughts; our thoughts and your thoughts are substance. We can see our thoughts become reality. We can see the creation that we build within ourselves. The creation itself becomes a reality. God is that reality because it is through love that we have the power to enhance ourselves towards his oneness of love.

When we had obtained a democratic society where I was born, we brought into being a commission for Truth and Reconciliation. Let that be part of your own life, of your own belief system, and you will bring a new light to your world: God’s love, the truth of your self, the truth of life. Learn from us, we who once walked upon the earth plane and have reached a step further in God’s kingdom of love.

In reconciliation you find peace and your real self

 
A Spirit World Message.

Once in my life I embarked on the road as an outlaw in my own country. They called me the black pimpernel because I was hiding, camouflaging myself so I could not be recognised as the real human being I was, as Nelson Mandela. It was that time of my life when I had to go underground due to the apartheid system, due to the fact that I was wanted by the authorities because as a black man I had broken their laws, their rules of racism between blacks and whites. I could not confine myself to such a narrow life, where I had to report my whereabouts to the police. At that time, I was held in custody by passport laws and banning enforcement. We were not actually held in custody, but that is how we felt when such laws were imposed upon us.

My friend, as an outlaw in my own country, as a black man who disobeyed the white rulers and an inhuman system, where human rights were distinguished, where human rights were not associated with the black population because we were secondhand citizens in our own country.

I was not at rest, not at peace with myself, in those years. We tried to reconcile, to find resolutions for bringing the system of apartheid to an end, but that was not in the sight of or in the minds of the white minority that ruled the country. Where you have such a distance between the oppressor and the reconciler, it is difficult to find peace, to find reconciliation. We came to the white government with our bare hands asking for equal rights between the whites and the blacks. We came in the spirit of nonviolence. We came to reconcile at that time, but the peace that we were searching for was not obtainable in that period because of the distance between the apartheid system and ourselves.

During this period there was a fence between the blacks and the whites. It took many years to tear this fence down, three decades before we could meet the oppressor on equal terms for reconciliation. It gave us hope for a new life, hope for a better future, hope for a democratic society where human rights were based on equality, where racism had been banned, where we could see each other as brothers and sisters regardless of skin colour. My friend, reconciliation requires tolerance and patience, even though it seems impossible to obtain, even thought is seems impossible to tear the fence down. Time itself brings new ideas, new support and better conditions. It creates a better view and a new fundament.

Time is evolution. Time is a universal aspect of material life. Time has within itself a tremendous force, because within this power there is love from the Almighty Spirit. The United Nations can use time and negotiations as a guiding principle based on care and love for every individual present in the world’s conflicts today. The United Nations should be the prolonged arm of the Almighty Spirit that employs only love as the creative force. As a reconciler you find your real self, you find the spirit within, the spirit of God.

Wars must be banned by the United Nations because God bans wars. In God’s heart there is only unconditional love that has no time, an everpresent force that can be employed where there is conflict. Justice must prevail but to obtain a peaceful reconciliation one must care for every brother and sister, one must share and bring the fundament for livelihood. Deprivation can be eradicated by the United Nations, by having the same objective for all nations  reconciliation for past mistakes. Every one of the world’s nations can reconcile and bring peaceful solutions to every conflict. There is no single conflict that cannot be solved through reconciliation, through justice and love, not a single conflict of your world. Join in this effort to reconcile and find your real self, the spirit of love that you were born with, that gave you life on earth.

Uncontrolled selfishness is a major obstacle among the world’s leaders, to fight for what is mine and not for the world. We from this side of life, we see all the bloodshed, all the violent conflicts due to man’s ignorance and selfish desire. Know that we who come to you are still alive, we who once walked upon the earth plane. We know all about the material life, and we see the terrible conditions of misfortune that the selfish desires of people, of political leaders, bring to the world and to themselves. They don’t know the truth of life that there is no death, that what they acquire on the earth plane is not for our world, the world beyond where love is foremost.

Through reconciliation you can create peace on earth and find your real self, your eternal self.

My motivation

 
A Spirit World Message.

I am sitting here with a blank sheet of paper and a pencil. I start writing.

“My mission is to bring my knowledge, my wisdom from the afterlife, to earth. It is a mission of love, a mission that seems impossible, but I know from my earthly life, that nothing is impossible. I had a period of 27 years of imprisonment, when hours and days, seemed endless, but even so, in my deepest moments of despair, I saw the light of God within me. I saw the creation that he had brought into being and that was impossible for my earthly mind to comprehend and understand. I then realised the strength of this power, of such love, and that nothing is impossible to achieve if you find the wisdom of yourself and have the will of the Almighty Spirit. That, my friend, is my motivation. When you have the will of God, you can bring the wisdom of love, the truth of life, to the earth. It is a mission that seems impossible, but I know from my earthly experience that it is possible.

We from this side of life endeavour to bring you the truth, the proof, the evidence that there is an afterlife, that when you leave your physical flesh your spirit revives and knocks on the door to heaven. The transition from life on earth to the eternal life is made in that instant, that moment of death in the material life. When you open up your eyes, your spiritual sight, to my world, you will reap what you sowed on the earth plane, because your mind and your thoughts will reveal to you your present state of mind. If you have love for your fellow beings, if you have brought this t life by caring for your brothers and sisters on earth, a new world built by love will reveal itself for your spiritual eyes. If you have lived a selfish life, a life where your mind and thoughts were only for your own pleasure, where your fellow beings had no interest to you, and if your behaviour towards your brothers and sisters was of a malevolent, inhuman nature, well then, that is what you realise when you open your spiritual sight, when your life on earth has brought you emptiness in my world, brought you to the conditions that you had built within yourself, in your mind. It is a replica of your own mind that you will find in my world. So, my friend, find love, the love that you were born with, that you can nourish on the earth plane by caring for your brothers and sisters, because you are building heaven within yourself with your thoughts and deeds, with your love for your family on earth.

I have a strong motivation within me to bring this wisdom of love to my family on earth. That is why I come to you, to the medium in Trance, to speak my words once again to the world. It is an effort of love, and when you have love within your heart, then the mission that seems impossible unlocks the truth itself. You can build a bridge between two lands with love. Communication from my world to your world is not impossible. It is made possible by the creative force that made you and me, that made Mother Nature with all its beauties, all created by the power of love, the seed that brought you to this world so you could attend this school of life to learn, to see right from wrong, to raise yourself spiritually.

The truth of life is open to everyone, the truth of you. Death is an illusion. You do not need to wait until death before you can realise and experience the bridge between the two worlds. Through meditation in my earthly life, I saw the light of God within myself; I saw this light that gave me the path for peace and reconciliation in the struggle that I once fought. Peace and reconciliation is the path of God, the path of love, the path of dignity. Let us together bring this knowledge and wisdom to the people of the earth. You who read these lines on my paper, let this paper be brought to life in your world. Send it out to your friends with your signature of love and you yourself become part of my mission for bringing the truth of love and life to our brothers and sisters. God bless you my friend.”

NONVIOLENCE – THE STRONGEST WEAPON

 
A Spirit World Message.

When you plant a rose seed, you expect the seed to rise from the soil and become exactly that flower on earth. When you plant a potato, you expect it to find its nutrition under your feet; you expect the nature itself to bring you more nutrition for life. My friend, what you plant will meet your expectations because it is of nature’s law, brought to life by the Almighty Spirit.

Then, I will ask you this question: What do you expect when you plant a seed of love in your life? Based on the laws of nature I started out with, the rose and the potato, it will turn into more love. That is according to reason and logic, the intelligence that we have been given, that we were born with. When you plant a seed of violence, it will turn up with more violence. That is why nonviolence is the strongest weapon because everything is based on nature’s law, based on God’s principle, the law of cause and effect in this universe, in the material world as well as in the spirit world.

Mahatma Gandhi knew this principle, the spiritual truth of life, as he pursued the fight against the British rulers of India, and it resolved into a democratic society. He rejected violence based on the spiritual truth of life that what you sow you reap; when you sow love, you will reap love, when you sow violence, you will reap violence.

“I Have a Dream”, Martin Luther King Jr. once said, a dream, which he also found in the spiritual principle of love, to release African Americans from racism. I myself could at first not perceive the truth because I was blindfolded by the oppression and the violence taking place before my eyes. I got lost when I pursued an armed struggle against apartheid, against the South African government at that time. I know better now. I saw that, through reconciliation and talks, we could have achieved so much more at an earlier stage solely based on nonviolence. Civil disobedience, civil resistance, nonviolent demonstrations and protests, the tremendous effect of going slow, the magnitude of people’s will, cannot be stopped. It will always prevail.

When there is oppression, when there is cruelty and violence initiated by leaders of politics, the power of the people, a unified power of nonviolence based on civil resistance, can defeat the political leadership. Your creativity and your imagination have such tremendous strength and value when you have nonviolence, the truth of love within your heart, because that is the path of God, who put the principle of nature, the law of cause and effect, into operation. The rose seed cannot become anything other than a rose. One potato will become many potatoes. These are simple terms, but it is the truth of life, for you all to understand, that God has made a perfect law – when you sow love, you will reap exactly what you sowed, you will harvest love.

Many countries in your world have experienced that nonviolence is the path to freedom and peace. Countries that have turned to violence and turmoil have received bloodshed, suffering and instability. The consciousness of the world has a tremendous impact but it cannot change the laws of nature. Use your consciousness to bring equality, love and freedom for all people. Let your consciousness be to care; care for all the children of the earth plane. Share your wealth. You who have much can make a difference to the poverty and inequality that are present in many countries due to poor leadership.

There is so much wealth in your world that no one should need to go to bed hungry. It is all about sharing and bringing an equitable and dignified life for everyone. The selfishness of your world makes a cruel environment and conditions for many people who have nothing.

The United Nations can be the facilitator for human rights, for making a better world through a joint effort between countries where people can be brought to a higher level of understanding, the spiritual truth, the knowledge that there is no death, that we all survive the physical flesh. It is not a religious principle; all survive regardless of religion and become part of the spirit world. This knowledge was the fundament for Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. They knew the principle of life, the truth of life, the reality that there is no death. They knew that once they departed from the earth plane they would live on and look back on their traces on the earth plane. They knew that they would be filled with joy and love in their hearts when they followed the path of nonviolence, because love itself brings peace to the heart, brings peace of mind. Nonviolence will bring peace to earth. It is the only way, the only path based on God’s principle of the law of cause and effect.

Make a better world. Care, Share and Love, these are the fundamental principles of the spiritual truth. Employ nonviolence – the strongest weapon there is – to solve the conflicts of your world, to make a peaceful world. You can heal your world with love; it is the only path, God’s path.
