Love Thy Neighbour

THE MESSAGE
Transcribed on 21st September 2023 @ 12:30pm
Good day to you sir. I wondered if I might talk to you today about the topic of your new podcast that you’re creating. My particular subject would be looking at the congregational side of the issues with your churches.
First I’d like to let you know that we continue to have churches this side as well. Our venues are always full, and we enjoy listening to the wonderful choirs we have, and singing ourselves. We are invited to speak individually if we want to and, believe me when I tell you, the conversations can be rather lively, shall we say!
People on both sides of the veil carry their own opinions on everything in life. Even here, where a collective mind gathering is required for church services, there is always someone that wants to raise a point for debate. But of course, here we don’t have reason to be angry, narked or naughty about anything.
We listen openly to the speakers and learn what we can from them and their points of view. It appears that your earth society have forgotten that their individual opinions are not likely to be in alignment with others. Their opinions are therefore correct or wrong. Yet your society has become aggressive in imposing their points of view on others and responding negatively if others disagree.
This general attitude is because everyone is forgetting to “love thy neighbour”. Do unto others as you would be done to yourself, that’s what I say.
But many of your church-goers aren’t displaying much tolerance and seem to want only the “meat” and not the “potatoes”, as my own dad used to say.
When love is absent in a conversation, be the one that instills it. View aggression and negativity like fires about to break out. Dampen the flames with love. Love wins every time.
Your churches will always contain the people that want to express their opinions. But there will also always be those that want peace, and love, and are happy to live with what they’ve been given. Knowledge is always at the root of such differences amongst mankind.
As you, my medium today, have always preached, each must seek their own truth. I would add to that, but don’t impose it on others. Encourage yes, impress maybe, demand never.
I love our church services here. We have a broader audience, after all, we’ve all lived after the earthly death! Keep learning my friends. Your lives here have only just began and what is ahead of you is richer and more awesome than you could ever imagine.
Peace be with you today and always.
Goodbye.
