Silver Birch has to be one of the most interesting reads I have encountered. I first read about Silver Birch back in the early 80’s, books you picked up and did not want to put down until you had read them, a thirst for knowledge.
For many years now, people have recognised that death is not the end of life, but a time that we shed our physical body and return home, or to the spirit world, like walking from one room to another. Many believe that loved ones can communicate with us from spirit through a medium, proving survival after death. Silver Birch tells us about the life unseen, how we can become better human being by serving each other and more. He has been an inspiration to many millions around the globe.
Who was Silver Birch ?
The guide Silver Birch was channelled through a medium called Maurice Barbanell, who passed away 17th July 1981 at the age of 79. Maurice Barnanell was the founder and editor of a weekly Spiritualist newspaper, which is still in circulation today. Barbanell devoted half a century of his life spreading spiritual knowledge in the Psychic News.
Maurice Barnanell was born to Jewish Parents, in one or East London’s poor areas. His mother was devoutly religious, but his father was an atheist, due to this difference Bananell heard many arguments between his parents. For a time Bananell had the same outlook as his father, but later changed to agnosticism.
Later in life Barnanell was invited by a medium to join her at a séance, but was not impressed with what he saw, and even fell asleep on his second visit. What was strange with his ‘sleep’ and he himself thought he was asleep, in fact was in trance, having been seen by others on the circle and a Red Indian had spoken through him.
Through this trance, he was encouraged to start a paper for this guides teachings, which is how the Psychic News came about. It was many years before Barbanell revealed to his readers who was channelling the wisdom, as he did not want to be criticised for publishing his own mediumship
Barbanell held many home circles where his guide Silver Birch would speak. It was always recorded in shorthand. Below books by Silver Birch
