One winter afternoon in New York, February 1943, at the height of the Second
World War, my mother, her sister, her sister-in-law, and a close friend, met to
talk about the life-and-death struggle that was tearing Europe apart. (My father
was serving under General Montgomery, in North Africa). Suddenly, although the
windows of the apartment were closed because of the cold, they heard a roar like
thunder and the glass door onto the terrace was blown inwards by a powerful
blast of air. Lightning flickered all around them although there was no storm.
They cried out in terror, and went to shut the door, but suddenly felt a
tremendous presence in the room and, falling on their knees, were overcome with
awe. Then they heard a voice which told them to write down what they heard. I
have brought together these Messages in memory and in love for my mother and
love for the Higher Assembly of Beings who watch over the life of this planet.
They have been the foundation and the inspiration of all my own work. May they
reach those who can assimilate their teaching and take it further. Their words
are witness to the fact that we do not live in a dead, insentient universe that
is without consciousness, purpose or meaning. On the contrary, we live in a
universe that is alive, sentient, full of wonders, peopled with countless beings
in higher dimensions, as well as in other galaxies and on other planets — all
directed by an evolutionary intention.
What they transmitted to my mother and
her friend in 1943, is more relevant today than it was eighty years ago since
the dangers we face are far greater now. AI technology is racing ahead, urged on
by the same male competitive ethos that is driving the further development of
nuclear weapons, the dangerous work of gain-of-function laboratories and other
technologies which harm the miraculous organism of the human body and interfere
with the delicate balance of the planet’s life — all involving the participation
of people who do not hold the best interests of the planet at heart. Our
survival demands that we relinquish the ongoing rivalry and struggle for power
between nations which could destroy the Earth and ourselves with it, and choose
the alternative path of love and service of the planet and all the precious
orders of life it embraces. This is a key moment in our evolutionary journey.
The choices we make now will determine our future and whether there is a future.
The Messages say that if we are to experience the Blessing of the Millennium, we
need to end all war and killing now. Women are one half of humanity and,
therefore, hold the balance at this crucial time of choice. The power of
millions of women, coming together to protect this Sacred Planet, could not only
eliminate war but allow us to write a New Story.
