"It is of course easy to speak of life which does not communicate with a common tongue, to speak as such, as a lesser degree of life or spirit.
I would like to expound that when life is taken from these `small ones' it is indeed a termination of a plan. The responsibility for termination must be born by the one who intervenes. All life is one life. It is equal. The life of the ant is the same life as enjoyed by the elephant, by the child in arms or by the one who reaches the end of physical experience. All life is part of your life. There is no division. There is no separation. When you alter the pattern of the blueprint of life you do it to yourself. But additionally you take upon yourself the very condition you create in the life that you take and those that mourn the life that is finished.

| You may not, within your consciousness, register these things. But to those who see your animation, there will be the evidence to be seen. If you create fear, you take that fear upon yourself. If you create pain, that pain is yours also. For that which you do, truly as is said, you are personally responsible. And not at some future time when someone stands in judgement, but here and now. For now is all time. There is no yesterday. There is no tomorrow. All is now...I cannot promise anyone of you that your pathways will be easy or smooth. For within your deeper understanding you would not have it so. But for every barrier, for every obstacle, you will find the strength and your needs met. You will be imbued with the power that is needed for the moment. You will be given the understanding for the condition. Be content to take each step as it appears. But mostly, most important, have Faith. That within each of you is the access to all power, all truth. And those things which you find before you to do, do with joy. Do in Faith. For those are your pathways, which are but the one pathway: The pathway of Esoteric Truth. The pathway toward the Ultimate Reality...Take yourselves to the font of all knowledge with a simplicity that is of the child. And there will you find your teaching. There will you find your truth. And there will you find your strength.
But most importantly for each of you, have a love for all life, in all its expressions. Not in it's physical manifestation but in it's potential that is within its Spiritual State. Have love for all life in all its manifestations. See yourself in the one before you and in so doing embrace them with love. Seek not to change that which lies before you. But seek in love to serve it. And be content that you can serve in love and in so doing will create the step for your brother to take if he so will. But do not seek to change that with which you do not find accord. For it may be that the change must rest within yourself.
Seek only to serve the need. Seek only in humility. To give all of yourself to their needs. And in this way will you find the Perfect Light. The Ultimate Reality. And there will you find each other and find that you are one.
May peace be with you and may God's blessing and the Light and Compassion of Eternal Truth be yours now and for evermore."
