This talk answers some often asked questions. For example  - 'What  are philosophy talks supposed to be about?' and 'What should people expect in a philosophy talk?'

So I give one of mine here as an example, with this advice; if you local church is having speakers who ramble on about themselves and it's boring, don't just 'vote with your feet', tell the booking secretary what you think! ... OK?

“THE OTHER ME"

This is a talk that I gave to a church some time ago and so has directions for the speaker added into it. Usually talks, [or 'Philosophy' it's called in a Sunday Service,] are given as inspirational speaking and so not written out in advance, because that is the opposite. This one is the exception due to having been asked to repeat it, in fact it became so popular that I gave it in the 'Evening Specials' that I do for fund raising, quite a few times! 

The theme here is the 'Creation' but in spirit before the creation as we first learn it in the material form. There are many ways of telling the story and it has been incorporated in various forms into the teaching form by many speakers over the years.

Subjects covered are :

1. The ether.

2. Thought governs the spirit world

3. Vibrations of existence.

4. Father God.

5. Reasons for wanting to manifest.

6. Learning the hard way.

7. Built in help.

8. Helpers in spirit.

Good Evening. My first name, my given name, is Stella Rodgers. The ‘Stella’ means ‘star’. The second name, because I am married, I take the name of my husband’s father, Rodgers which means ‘maker of staffs’

I am in all ways perfectly normal, just like you, but you might not be aware that inside the ‘me’ that you can see here this evening, there is another part of ‘me’, It lives within the same place that this body exists and is another body, that of spirit, and I would like to introduce her to you now….

(Indicates to the right and…Steps to one side)….

How-do-you-do, I am the being who is the other part of Stella. My name is ‘Spirit Entity’. The name ‘Spirit’ means ‘of the ether’, and the name ‘Entity’ means ‘to exist’.

I would like to explain a bit about the first part of my name, as it suggests I come from the ether, from the other world you know as ‘beyond the veil’, but what you might not realize is that the ‘veil’ as you call it is only a thought away, it’s the world of spirit.

This place called ‘spirit world’ is where the people and animals, flowers and trees, are made of a substance called thought. You don’t need to be at that place in the body, with a bit of practice you can actually think yourself there, in other words, because you are thinking that this place does exist it takes on substance and actually DOES exist!

The opposite applies too, if you don’t know about a thing, say the spirit world, for example, … you can’t imagine it exists! But you will see it when you go back, and as I’m sure you all know, some people get a bit of a shock when they DO find out about it!

Let me talk briefly on the idea of a world that is governed by thought. THOUGHT is a vibration, just like music, which is a vibrating instrument, and can be picked up in one part of your senses, the hearing bit.

Did you know that colour vibrates on a level you can only see but just not hear, only because it IS on a different vibration? Of course you did, but if you were born without sight you would not know that would you? You would have to rely on another person’s word for it, wouldn’t you?

Those are only two examples of vibrating on different levels, which each sense, you in your body can pick up. There are other vibrations that you are not aware of, there are the X-rays, gamma rays, magnetic force-field rays from other planets, sun rays, and many others…And some that cross over from my world to yours, mostly this is when you say you have seen or heard a relative trying to get in touch…or a ghost!

How did I get the second name of ‘Entity’? Well, like the naming system on your planet, I got that from my Father. He is the Greatest Entity of all time, [well I think He’s the greatest,] ‘cos He’s my Dad! You call Him God

How come I’m here on this material world?

Now here I have a confession to make, when I was younger I wanted to know things, as children are, I was curious. Well I don’t think that is a crime, do you? I wanted to know how my Dad knew all that stuff about BEING, THINKING, and FEELING, stuff like that.

Well I needed the experience of what these things are, so I did a very silly thing I decided to travel and I went off into the ether just to see, you understand, and guess what? It was beautiful!

I found this planet called earth and to further my studies, I had to exist on it, and for that I had to be in another dimension, have another body. So that’s what I asked my Father in spirit to do, make me a person, so I could experience the life of a world that is so wonderful, and learn how to experience and do things and all that stuff.

Then of course there has to be a catch, doesn’t there? Learning about hunger the hard way makes the greed a part of it too. Learning about want is ‘experiencing it’ is too. I don’t like that part at all! But as my Dad says,‿ What is the point of just watching another person live hardship, if it is all only just like watching a film?‿

Now here is the good news, there are a few things that help me not to make a complete bosh of this journey, I have a helper called a guide, who is not allowed to interfere in my life, but will on odd occasions stop me from making a complete twit of myself, if only I would listen to my conscience.

Another helpful thing is, my Dad put into me a ‘homing device’, its called loneliness, He put that in me just to make sure I would make my way back to Him eventually, when I’d had enough traveling. As I said my Dad is very clever!

Well, I didn’t know all this when I got here, no, I found this out from friends in spirit who have taken the time to tell me, through the writing in books, of many people on this earth who have developed the art of communication the way I talked about before.

There are many books you can read of channeled writings from people much better than I am at helping us to understand the way we all need to progress in our lives as both people and spirits. The only thing is, not every body knows enough about this journey to realist how much easier it would be for all concerned if they listened to their guide, and read a few books on the subject.

So I came here today to tell you all, that if you would like to get on a bit better with your journey of existence, like me, then this is a good way of doing it. Helping others to understand where we come from and how to get back there in a good state, not in a mess like some people, lost and out of touch with reality.

END.
