Labels: The Big Elk Speaks


(Article kindly provided by Graham Twyman, ISF Publicity Officer, UK)

Greetings from the World of Spirit, I would like to talk to you if I may? One of the things we in Spirit find a little difficult to understand is the way labels are so often tied to things connected to the spiritual and material aspects of life. This becomes noticeable to a greater degree when you on the earth plain move into the area of dealing with things which are connected to that which you refer to as Spirit.

I have at this time for the purpose of communication taken the name of Big Elk, hoping by doing so; this will make you feel at ease. I am well aware there is certain reluctance in your world, to accept communications from sources which are unable to be named

I would however like to mention one more thing in connection with labels; I feel that the labels are not an important part of any communication. It is the content of a communication which is the important part, not the identity of the messenger; it should also be born in mind any spiritual communication is influenced, by the level of advancement of the individual, who at the time is acting as the communicator.

One of the problems connected to any communication is the ability of both parties to be able to respond to each other, we know this is an old request, but we do need to hear your voice during any communication. The voice is the confirmation to us, concerning the information we have tried to bring to you, the voice indicates the information has been received

We would however ask you to make sure the information presented has been fully understood, if there is the slightest doubt about the validity of the information being presented, we would ask you to say no. As there are occasions when even though the words have been presented ,they could be misunderstood, so if this happens it is better to say no , and have the information verified.

We are very much aware there are certain times on your journey of life, when communication between the two worlds becomes very difficult to achieve, due to the circumstances in your life style at that particular time. Trying to understand the way events occur in your life, plus the effects the events have on you are also part of our learning process, to be of use to you in enabling you to grow, we must have a greater awareness of your needs, However please remember during times like this in your life, we are still there, just try and to talk to us, there is always someone around who will hear you.

There is a certain school of thought on the earth plane which tries to factionalize and fragment the spiritual aspect of mankind; in response to this I would say the following. You are all members of the University of Life; you were enrolled into the University of Life at the time of your conception. By the act of birth you then became active members of the University of Life, the course which you are enrolled on is an experiential course. The course content, covers evolution of both the material and spiritual aspects of your earthly life, the course plus its content can be related to what I believe is termed on the earth plane as work experience. But unlike the earthly work experience, the course you are enrolled on is ongoing course, the course terminates on the day you depart from the earth plane.

As to the level of success, or failure, your efforts achieved while here on the earthly journey, you will have opportunity to review this, once you have become settled into your new life in the other dimension.

Students should also be aware of the effect of tying labels to themselves. Tying a label to ones self while in the process of undergoing this type of course, will in the longer term have the effect of limiting the amount of progress the student is able to achieve. The label is a barrier, which has the effect retarding both the spiritual and material growth of those who are interested in gaining further empowerment on the pathway of life; it has the effect of limiting the student’s ability to explore the various avenues which present themselves along the journey on life.

One of the other problems a great many seem to face as they journey along their pathway, is the realization concerning the pathway they are walking, as they have to come to terms with the fact that the pathway is an individual one. There are so many who try to go down the road of copying other people, this is an exercise which in the longer term is doomed to failure. As individuals each person has to try to define your own way pathway forward, progress in this area has to be related to the personal experiences and understanding, which each student will at sometime have encountered, as they have journeyed along their own particular pathway.

There has also to be a greater understanding of the role which personal responsibility plays in each life style, it is only when you start to accept, that life is governed by the decisions which you make. You can then be in a position in life, were by you are able to achieve a greater degree of empowerment .Which will in turn bring into you life a greater sense of purpose, plus a great awareness not only of your own needs, but also the needs of others who might be a position not as fortunate as yourself.
