• Invisible life-forms that accompany humans

• There is no chaos nor randomness

• Guidance is part of creation

Your guides are with each of you individually, but your guides are also a collection. They are a collection of guides for whom you pray. They are a collection of guides who have been a part of the human lives for whom you pray and remember. They are the guides of life-forms beyond your understanding, beyond your knowledge, and yet those very guides share in the commitment of your growth, your development, and your sustaining light.

The nature of guidance is complex in some ways and yet absolutely basic in others. In the simplest manner of explanation, your guides serve to clarify. Your guides serve as the lens we have spoken of so often, that focuses the presence of the energy that is God upon each of your souls. But guidance is so much more complex than that, and we would like to share with you something of that nature of guides and guidance.

We have spoken of the existence of other life-forms. Those life-forms, in appearance if you were to see them, are unlike human life-forms. They are as different from human life-forms as are the life-forms on earth vastly different from your own. We are not speaking of life-forms conceived in an office of writers for Hollywood films. We are not speaking of life-forms containing many arms and many heads and many colors. We are speaking of life-forms that are truly a different kind of energy.

Some of these life-forms could almost be visible except that the frequency of their energy is slightly out of range for what you can perceive through your normal senses, and those life-forms are not on another planet as you might think. They are within the same reality, the same existence as you. They actually in many cases are with each of you and are, in their way, already a part of your journey. Their spirits, their souls, their permanent energy, their God-lights accompany you on your human paths.

There are of course life-forms that exist within the creation of God that to human beings would be located at an inconceivably distant place. But when you consider the lack of space, the lack of distance, then such life-forms are absolutely an accompaniment to your own.

Your thoughts, your memories, your imagination can take you to what you define as being a great distance away, instantaneously and with no difficulty. It is exactly so in the reality of these life-forms that share your paths with you. In some ways they may seem far away, but they are as close to you as your imagination is. They are as close to you as your memory. They are as close to you as anything you can envision, whether it be of earth dimension or beyond earth.

These life-forms contain within them the same spark of God that resides within each of you. So in a very essential way, you are no different. You may have a different shell, but the kernel is identical. These life-forms have varying approaches to what it is you call God. Just as in your own human evolution people have perceived God and life after life in different ways, those differences are unimportant. These nonhuman life- forms to which we often refer are remarkable because despite their differences, they share with you the light. They share with you a consciousness that there is a dimension to life that is beyond their immediate recognition.

There is much you can learn from other life-forms even without knowing the life- forms, for in your acknowledgment of their existence, you are permitting yourselves the luxury of acknowledging that what God has created is often times beyond your own vision. Think for a moment of many of the advances in scientific understanding, in medical understanding that have taken place in the last, as you would measure them, millennia. Each millennium contains much growth, contains more understanding. What you know as human beings to be facts were but until recently not even in the imagination of the most creative of thinkers, theoreticians. You are each aware of more of reality than was imagined five hundred years ago, two hundred years ago, even one hundred years ago. As the development of human beings continues to move forward, your view of what’s around you becomes clearer.

It is this way when one contemplates an understanding of spirit and an understanding of the evolution of life-forms. The fact that you do not see something, the fact that you cannot imagine something has absolutely no relevance to the existence of that which is beyond your view. We exist, we are a part of your exercise of life although you do not see us. You become aware of us because of evidence of our existence, not because you see us. And so it is with these other life-forms. The fact that they cannot be seen has no bearing on their existence. And yet each of those life-forms has an understanding of God, not a greater understanding or a lesser understanding, but a different understanding. Every life-form of which we speak contains within it some understanding of a connection that binds all together. You may call that binding God, but other life-forms perceive of an identity that may be different from yours and yet is still valid.

You are given life to live, yes, but you are also given life to know. We are not thinking of “yes” and “no” questions and answers, but knowledge, understanding, insight, a commitment to belief. All that has been created by God has a response to God. The leaf on a tree is clearly not thinking about God, but that leaf is responding to light, and that response is immediate and undeniable. Everything that has been created has some response. A stone may be cooled in the water and heated in the desert, but the stone, although only a stone, is responding in some very specific and appropriate way to its surroundings. We do not say that a grasshopper has a spirit, but the grasshopper responds to the environment that is fully in keeping with God’s intention that light be a part of everything that develops.

Yes, you are given life to live, but you are given life to learn. You are given life to experience in a very personal way the journey that can be pursued by others, the journey that you perceive to be your chosen path. If given life to simply grow as it is your nature to grow, you’re really not competing with another. You’re most importantly enabling yourselves to be, and in being, you do receive guidance. You do have a relationship to a guide, a means of focusing God’s presence upon human life, but also a means of focusing God’s light on nonhuman forms of all kinds of energy.

Human beings are not the only creatures in existence to pray, for prayer is nothing more than listening. Prayer is not words. Prayer is not begging God to do something. Prayer is acknowledging what God does. When you pray for others, you are in truth acknowledging that God belongs to another, that God is a part of what accompanies another along the path. The God that accompanies is essentially the combination of all these life-forms working to nurture, to provide strength and courage, to provide comfort when it is needed.

You live because of God. You live because of your guides, for you cannot flourish alone. You cannot grow up without some awareness at some level of the reality of God. All that you do, all that you think, all that you seek belongs to the reality that receives the guidance of countless spiritual entities, the spirit presence that is not just the guides whom you know, the guides who seem to be in charge of the lives of those you love. You are surrounded by the entirety of creation, and this creation is in truth not a creation of chaos but of order.

But as you question the presence of that order, you question that presence with insignificant and incomplete understanding. Your perception of chaos in creation means only that you haven’t, as you say, connected the dots. The dots are there. There is no chaos. There is nothing that is purely random. When there are acts of violence, those acts are not random. They don’t just happen. There is some intention, there is some thought, behind what happens, and yet despite the horror, despite the pain, you must realize that all that creates what you see as chaos is the result of being a component of All That Is, and therefore all belongs to God. When all belongs to God, nothing is by chance. There is no room for complete chaos. That chaotic experience may become more clear in time, and you may recognize that there was indeed a rhythm to what has occurred.

You speak of the tragedy of war and the seeming lack of peace, but as the direction of creation continues on a path, what seems to be the lack of peace is in fact a part of the establishing of that peace. But you do not see that shape, you do not see that design, and so you perceive randomness and chaos and the expansion of the darkness.

Have faith that God is a part of the entirety of creation. Have faith that the mechanism, if you will, of guidance moves far beyond merely the guides who have served human beings. Guidance is a part of creation. Guidance is a part of God. Illumination is a part of all that exists. There is no room for chaos. There is only order. The more that is revealed to human beings in the future, the less evidence there will be for the reality of chaos.

Therefore believe in the rhythm of God’s creation. Believe in the harmonies of life-forms working together, and accept that you are a part of that thread that binds everyone and everything.

You are blessed in that unity. You are blessed in all of creation. You are blessed in your prayers because you are blessed in your listening. Allow the light to shine broadly on your path. Allow the light of others to illuminate your own journeys, and welcome the reality of the presence of many life-forms as being essential to the path, to the journey that you all share together.

Amen.
