TEACHINGS OF SILVER BIRCH by Tony Ortzen 1979 / 253 pages.
"What a glorious message we have for your world of
matter - a message that makes men free and teaches them
to rejoice in their divine heritage; a message that
teaches them to throw off all shackles and bonds; a
message that teaches them to rejoice in the fullness of
spiritual knowledge; a message that shows them how to
live not only on the planes of matter, but on the planes
of spirit; a message that brings them beauty, love and
wisdom, understanding, truth and happiness; a message
that speaks of service, service, service."
"Your world is in beauty now. You see all around you
the manifestations of the great spirit, as the dawn of
life sweeps over your surroundings again in its
cycle, and you marvel at the beauty of the blossom and
the fragrance of the flowers, and you say, 'How great is
the handiwork of the Great Spirit'." "And yet,
that which you see is but a very, very pale reflection of
the beauties that we have in our world of spirit. We have
flowers such as you have never seen, we have colours such
as your eye has never beheld, we have scenes and forests,
we have birds and plants, we have streams and mountains.
You have nothing to compare them with. And you will be
able to enjoy them, for, even though you will be ghosts,
you will be real ones." "Your world of matter
is so slow and thick. It is so ponderous and heavy that
the inspiration is lost in transmission, in the endeavor
to slow down the higher and more subtle vibrations of
spirit. Yours is a dark, clammy world compared with the
world of light where I live." "You have not
seen the sun in full radiance of its dazzling splendour.
You have seen but the pale imitation. Just as the moon
reflects the shadow of the sun, so the sun that you
behold is but a pale reflection of our sun. When I come
to your world I am like a bird that is imprisoned within
a cage, and when I leave it I am like a bird joyfully
released to wing its way through boundless space. What
you call death is the opening of the cage and the release
of the bird from its prison."
