While I was at Arthur Findlay College in England in July, I had an opportunity to buy one book from Silver Birch. Silver Birch was a Native Indian, Spiritually evolved soul, who spoke to medium Barbanell in the 1950's and 60's. The book I am going to communicate his messages from is titled "Guidance from Silver Birch"... edited by Anne Dooley first published in 1966. Silver Birch has many books and I wish had them more of them also...but, my dear readers are welcomed to find more of them via google probably..enjoy the following from Silver Birch..((what Silver Birch quotes as Great Spirit, is whom I call Father God...people use many names and titles but it is the same Great Creator we are referring to.))
*************
"If the Great Spirit allowed me to transfer one gift, what I would love to do is to give the power to see to those I love, because I have such pity for you in this dark world in which you live. You have no idea of the radiance which is around you. You cannot see this beauteous universe in which you dwell. This fog of matter clouds everything. It is as if there is a thick bank of cloud obscuring the rays of the sun all the time. If you could see the radiance around you, you would know that there is no real trouble that could penetrate it.
We are subject to laws and conditions. We can do only that which lies within our power according to what prevails at the time. Whether visible or invisible, audible or inaudible, tangible or intangible, the power is there to fulfill its function of guiding, maintaining, and sustaining. I have always said to those who serve that, no matter how dark the days may seem, they will come through, for the power of the Spirit is the power of life itself. Life cannot exist without spirit. Life, its whole essence, vitality, potential, dynamic, all these are due to its being spirit, precisely the same in essence, though differing in degree, as the infinite Creator of all things.
It is hard to appreciate all this when you live in a world of matter with all its illusions, but it is my duty to tell you that reality is in the invisible and must not be confused with what you see purely in glimpses. It is only when you withdraw into the inner places that the vision is clear. I am not very concerned with labels, or troubled with organisations, except if they exist to be instruments for spirit power. My task is to try to be a guide, a teacher, to offer a little wisdom, based on garnered experience, to those who are ready and prepared to receive it. Another aspect is, in conjunction with colleagues, to help the flow of spirit power so that the divine will can be more easily seen and more people harmonise their lives with it.
To me, what is important is the instrument. It is only through human instruments that the power of the Spirit can operate. Thus, the problem remains a constant one, to find more and more instruments through whom Spirit power can be registered. The power is infinite; the number of instruments is limited. There cannot be too many because there will always be power available for however many through whom it can be expressed. But just as it is said that the wind is tempered to the shorn lamb, so the power of the spirit can be absorbed on by capacity of its instruments. They cannot absorb more than they are capable of receiving.
Having said that, I would add that there is more spirit power operating in your world today than there ever has been, and through countless channels. It is not even restricted to mediums. It operates through many who are unaware that they are instruments. The self-same power is utilised in other movements. The plan does not change. You have to change and fit into the plan. If you place yourself in harmony with that divine power and allow it to guide you from day to day, then you will fulfil the purpose of your being. The power of the spirit does not work according to earthly standards; it cannot be hastened or accelerated and forced into this channel and that. The wind bloweth where if listeth.
The stars wheel in their courses, the tides ebb and flow, the seasons follow one another, all as an integral part of this majestic, stupendous, sublime scheme. You cannot change it now, but as part of it you can allow it to work through you and thus help to share in the infinite processes of an eternal creation. You, by virtue of your heritage, as spiritual beings, part of the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit is you and you are the Great Spirit. In lesser degree, in embryo, in miniature, you are the microcosm and the macrocosm is the Great Spirit. Thus there is for you access to all the infinity of the Great Spirit, as by increasing spiritual attainment, growth, progress and evolution, you make yourself receptive to it."

My dearest reader, I wish I could just sit and re write this whole book for you, for it is so enchanting and special to my heart, but it is too much. I encourage for you to find Silver Birch books, whether in US or UK and enjoy his messages of love and guidance. I am grateful for his messages and to the God who has allowed for it to be a part of our learning. Blessings to you always. Mary Ann
