A brief explanation of how 'Zodiac' came to deliver
the 'Zodiac Messages'
A Spirit-picture of the unnamed scribe 'Zodiac'
The primary purpose of the Greater World Christian
Spiritualist Association, is to give out the teachings
and philosophy which were responsible for the Church
being started in the first place. Thus, the purpose
for being is to disseminate the teachings of highly
evolved Spirit-messengers dedicated to the Christ Mission,
to spread the truth about the continuity of life after
physical death, and to give out the truth about the
real love of God for His creation.
Towards the first half of this century, the spirit
of a man who had lived two thousand years ago made
contact with a young sensitive woman and asked if she
would permit herself to be the means whereby he could
transmit, by total control, around 1,500 addresses
about a vast array of subjects concerning spiritual
life and Christ. These messages were transmitted regularly
between 1924 to 1957. The method used (trance mediumship)
is one of many gifts of the Spirit, and is one of the
main ways that the post-Ascension disciples (having
retreated to quiet places away from the busy towns)
received their knowledge and comfort.
"Test the spirits, whether they are of God"
This is one reason for the warning to "test the
spirits to see whether they are of God", and one
disciple or another would be the instrument for the
benefit of the others. In the case of Miss Winifred
Moyes, she was a wheelchair bound woman, who, when
in "trance", was able to walk quite energetically
although normally crippled, her body controlled and
protected by the celestial Messenger. In the light
of this knowledge, the spiritual gift described in
the Bible of 'the discerning of spirits', takes on
a much clearer and fuller meaning than the one normally
ascribed to it by many naming themselves Christians.
"What is the greatest commandment of all?"
It transpired that this humble soul ("Zodiac")
was the soul who occupied the body of the Jew who asked
Jesus which was the most important commandment of all.
Christ's answer to this question, as many know, was,
in short, that man was to truly love his God and to
serve his neighbour too (which the 'unnamed scribe'
had perceived, and knew this to be better than all
ritualistic observances put together). As the records
show (Mark 12:28-34), Jesus had told this man that he was already not far
from the Kingdom of God, and the Christ-Messenger's
message today, purposefully sent by Jesus Christ, is,
and shall be, a major catalyst in the transformation
of this world because of the purity of this celestial
messenger.
He spoke things which they did not want to hear so
they killed him
When Zodiac was in the flesh 2,000 years ago, he became
a follower of Jesus and was martyred because he was
supposed to be a teacher of Mosaic law (the law passed
on by Moses). He has been with Jesus in the World of
Spirit ever since, and it is clear to anyone who has
made an in-depth study of his messages, that they are
destined to renew spirituality throughout the world.
This wise teacher has given himself the name 'Zodiac'
in order to encourage the individual, Christian or
otherwise, to lift their thoughts up to the heavens;
his real celestial name would be far beyond any human
being on earth to hear, pronounce or understand (all
celestial names have a greater significance than do
earthly names). His use of the term 'children' is merely
one of endearment, for he loves all creatures of God;
he has mentioned that such a term is not to imply a
distance of spiritual states but is used rather more
in the sense of an older brother seeking to guide and
protect.
Well prepared to explain God's Truth
Zodiac's wisdom and awareness of God's Truth become
evermore apparent as the path of Truth is pursued,
and the many centuries of preparation which he had
to undertake - before he could be despatched by Christ
to come forward with the Christ Mission - have enabled
him to gain a deep grasp of the workings of the human
mind in order to provide the greatest aid in understanding
the Spiritual and spiritual matters.
A brief explanation of 'Total Control'
Total control refers to one of the deeper trance states
into which a person
(still in the flesh)
goes when he or she is willing to allow another soul
(no longer in the flesh)
to pass on messages and spiritual teachings to others
(still in the flesh)
through the use of the physical vocal chords, for their
benefit and for the benefit of humanity at large.
In the deeper trance state the person does not generally
remain 'physically conscious' of what is happening;
sometimes, perhaps, while the person's physical body
is being used for God's work, the 'band' of missionary
spirits may take the soul temporarily to a spiritual
garden, yet in the Spirit that soul is very conscious.
This is known as Trance Mediumship, and this is one
way in which highly evolved ministering spirits were
able to address the disciples of Jesus
(one being used while the others listened)
and thereby comfort and direct them after He had left
them as He promised He would do. (This promise of comfort and instruction is not, however,
to be confused with another comforting gift of the
Spirit which is the powerful enkindling of a spiritual
fire of love within the soul, which burns with such
power that the soul totally surrenders and is literally
overcome with the love given forth from the Divine
union, such as that experienced by David, Solomon [Song
of Songs], the disciples and others).
This method of communication, guidance and comforting
has been available to man since time immemorial, but
sadly has not always been used to man's advantage.
One reason for the failure of mankind to utilize the
priceless gift of Spirit-Communication has been because
the 'conventional' Church has failed to recognize God's
Will in this matter. But another reason is because
many mediums have not been prepared to practise the
turning away from the desires of the lesser self, and
as a consequence the human instruments have thereby
unwittingly allowed those souls who are not spiritually
awakened
(disembodied souls still seeking to attract to themselves
that which is desired by the lesser self)
to pass on messages which are harmful to the individual.
If a spirit comes and passes on the soft and flattering
word and does
not
seek to safeguard the soul by
pointing to the steep path
- the hard and difficult
way
that Christ
exemplified and trod
Himself - then that spirit is to be regarded as an
ignorant spirit, and those in the flesh should pray
for him or her, pray that he or she will leave behind
their lesser desires and climb the hill to God.
This is one reason for the return of 'Zodiac' the unnamed
scribe of the New Testament, who, using the trance
medium Miss Winifred Moyes, was sent by Christ to explain
as much Truth as the human mind can take in at this
stage. One thing he comes for, is to explain to the
followers of creeds, doctrines, rules, observance and
words; that they should be seeking to cling to the
Spirit instead; that they should read the plain truth
in the Scriptures that Christ said to follow Him into
the joy of God by picking up their cross and taking
the Way He has shown. 'Zodiac' explains that so many
have misunderstood Spirit-Communion, and also if they
think they have achieved God's will for their life
on the basis of having a belief, then they are indeed
deceived.
Another reason for 'Zodiac' coming through a trance
medium, is to explain to those with mediumistic abilities
that they need to follow in the footsteps of
*Christ-as-Man*
in order to remain free from the misguiding messages
and 'teachings' of unawakened or deluded spirits. Anyone
who has the desire and patience to study a number of
the Zodiac Messages will eventually have no problem
in understanding this simple message, and thus they
shall reach another ridge of revelation as they climb
to the plateau of Peace and full illumination, by effort,
and by the help and through the grace of God, their
loving Parent.
A brief biography of Miss Winifred Moyes
Miss Winifred Moyes
Perhaps only those who were closest in the work could
truly judge the remarkable gift of mediumship possessed
by Miss Moyes, and the sensitiveness which enabled
her to be used by Zodiac. Suffering from ill-health
from the age of ten, when she was eventually used as
an instrument by Zodiac, her weak physical body was
compensated for by an iron will and a determination
which forced the body to do the bidding of the Spirit.
Such was her state of health that there were many times
when Spirit Power alone enabled Zodiac to control his
instrument and deliver his message. The strength of
Miss Moyes lay in her implicit faith in the Christ
power around her. Zodiac's first act on "taking
control" was to place his medium under the protection
of the Cross on the altar with upstretched arms and
using the invocation: "Saviour Christ, into Thy
hands I commend the spirit of this Thy child".
Miss Moyes dedicated her gift of mediumship entirely
to Zodiac's work. How closely she was attuned to the
higher vibrations of Zodiac is shown in the perfection
of the messages given. They are given in purity, unobstructed
by the physical mind.
Miss Moyes was told by Spirit that she must give up
her office work because she would be too weak to be
used by Zodiac, and so having handed in her resignation
wondered how she was going to make ends meet. However,
her spirit was strong, and Miss Moyes made great personal
sacrifices travelling around the country on a weekly
basis, often in great physical pain, and the Greater
World gained a sure foothold in the material plane.
Miss Moyes wrote in June 1933: "Had it not been
for Spirit power, I should not now be in the body.
At times I still suffer great pain, yet the loving
protection of the Great Father is demonstrated constantly
through the guides, for although I have not had a holiday
for five years and work 14 to 16 hours a day, I find
that 'His grace is sufficient for me', and every year
I am getting stronger".
Zodiac always gave his addresses with the medium in
the trance state. Mediumship which can be used to bridge
the earthly and the heavenly conditions is one of God's
greatest gifts to mankind. Miss Moyes possessed this
gift in outstanding measure, and she used it in the
way that God intended all the gifts of the Spirit to
be used, namely: to bring the light of the Spirit into
the darkness of the material world. In ordinary life,
the psychic or mediumistic side was balanced by a vast
amount of practical work: in organizing, in her highly
inspired writings, and in the philanthropic work she
felt urged to do, especially in the founding of the
Free Night Shelters for Homeless Women.
So much has hinged upon the loyal spirit of this dedicated
woman, and the gift of mediumship entrusted to her;
and upon the one who, over the years, was her faithful
companion and helper - Mrs Margaret Hoare, one of the
note-takers for the Zodiac Messages and other messages
often given by developed guides permitted by Zodiac
to address the Zodiac Circle.
Zodiac addressed a packed audience through Miss Moyes
at the Town Hall in Jersey after the Second World War.
Her public work continued until 1957. She passed into
the Higher Life on 12th December, 1957.
