Chapter One The Last Chapter
ОглавлениеJoseph: The title of the first chapter, beginning this third book, is ‘The Last Chapter’, because in beginning this book I have to deal with what happens to the human soul before it is liberated into the higher vibrations.
Most people on Earth do not realise that life is an arc, that there is a burst of vibration that accompanies the birth of the physical being, and that that burst of vibration extends outwards and grows, and becomes stronger up to the midway point. At the midway point in life that vibration then begins to fold in on itself and that tendency, that path, is built into the vibration. So, from the moment of birth on Earth as a physical being, the soul is approaching death.
You would expect me to talk about death before talking about the life hereafter, wouldn’t you? I cannot simply begin this book by telling you what comes next; I have to tell you what happens before death as you approach death so that you can appreciate what happens after physical death.
Your vibration (your physical vibration – not your soul’s vibration) has built into it a timescale which is designed to bring you back to your start-point. It encases the soul at the moment of physical birth. The vibration extends from the soul in strength and then, from the midway point, there is a drawing in and a releasing, little by little, of the bonds that have tied the soul for a very short time to the earth plane. And those bonds are quite complex – you talk of a ‘blessed release’ when someone is taken from this life and released from pain, or from suffering, or from a life that is sad and miserable, but automatically built into your vibration – into you, the reader – is a ‘blessed release’… a blessed release from the bonds of the Earth. The Earth is a very magnetic, attractive place, as I have explained in the other books [ref. to Revelation and Illumination]. The Earth pulls at you – pulls at the physical, pulls at the mental – and were you to stay here in this vibration in its present state for longer than a normal lifetime and normal span of years, you could become immersed ever deeper in this vibration to the extent that it would take a great deal of time and effort on behalf of others in the spirit worlds to elevate you to a point where you could be released from the vibration of the Earth. Therefore, built into your vibration as a physical being (because you are also a physical being… are linked to a physical being) is a ‘release’ and a ‘release date’.
In the normal course of things there is a ‘release date’ for you to exit this earthly vibration and that date is known about. Sometimes you go to fortune-tellers and to mediums because you want to know the future, but your future in terms of you returning to your heavenly home is assured, is known about, is calculated, is (if you would like an analogy) written up in chalk on a great board, is pre-destined …and there is nothing you can do about it.
However, there is a lot that you can do about how you live your life, which is why I dictated the first two books. Here I have to get you to confront the fact that you will exit this physical realm. As you grow older and as you reach the mid-point the vibration of the physical body begins to change. The physical body rejects the Earth – not the other way round. The physical body is subject to a change of vibration that, little by little, alienates it from the physical realm. Changes take place in the cells but changes take place at a spiritual level more than at any other level as your soul (the person, the being, the consciousness that you really are) begins to release itself, little by little, from the physical body. It is amusing to hear people say, ‘Well, I have ten years left’, or ‘I have twenty years left’, or ‘I have thirty years left’. That may be true, but during that time the soul is gradually extricating itself from physical existence and, little by little, the energies from the soul that feed the physical body are cut off. It is the same thing you see in a tree: a tree in autumn and in winter cuts off the supply of energy to its leaves and those leaves fall. But the tree is not the leaves; the tree will produce leaves again and this is an analogy I would like to give you… From your mid-point in physical energy you – you as a soul – begin to cut off the energies that feed your physical and mental bodies because on a soul-level you know that you have to return. If people were not so preoccupied with the physicality and distractions of this level they would also intuitively begin to receive warnings from the soul: ‘Put your house in order; tie up those things that need to be tied up; release yourself from those things that need to be released – because the time draws near for you to return home.’
So, little by little, the physical body is starved of the energies that maintain it via the God-centre within the soul. It is not something that is done on an earth-conscious level; it comes from the soul as a mechanism and is an automatic response. This is why the body grows older; this is why the body retreats from the illusion and, not being fed by the soul, the body begins to wither and decompose and to be pulled by the illusion. There are two operations taking place: firstly the body withers because it does not have enough energy to maintain its illusion or projection and, secondly, once you take away the soul-energies the body reacts more and more on a physical level and on the level of the illusion. The illusion then pulls at the body and, because the illusion or ‘Field’ of the Earth is negatively charged, that negative charge has an effect on the body and increasingly the body decays until it reaches a point of no return.
There comes a point where the pull on the physical body from the earth plane and the lack of sustenance to the physical body via the soul cause the body to cease functioning. At that point things happen very quickly – something that has been going on for years suddenly terminates, suddenly comes to a conclusion, and the soul is released. The body falls away and the soul is projected instantly to the vibration that is suitable for it to appreciate, consciously and harmoniously. The soul, in other words, goes to the place that has been prepared for it by its endeavours during its recent stay on the earth plane plus the culmination of its endeavours during other lifetimes and experiences to this point.
There is a cord that is often talked about in spiritual books and spiritual discussions which connects the soul (which is also a casing, of course, for the consciousness that is represented as an individual) to the physical body. That cord allows the soul – for the time that the physical body is on Earth – to be either totally integrated with the physical body or, during sleep-time or trance-meditation or other changes of mind-vibration, to exist at a distance from the physical body and yet still be connected to it. Whilst the cord is connected to the physical body energy flows from the soul and the soul is able to animate the physical body.
At the point of no return there is a severing of the cord and, as soon as the cord has severed, the cord retreats; the projection of energy or cone of electro-magnetic energy that the cord represents is reabsorbed into the shell that is the soul and the body undergoes a death. The soul does not undergo a death but the body undergoes a death because the body has an intelligence that has been fed by the electro-magnetic impulses from the soul via the cord. The body operates, to some extent, autonomously and independently of the soul but needs the soul’s connection to it in order to exist. The body has a separate intelligence that is programmed to operate at a certain level of health and to operate at a certain level of instinct. You do not, for example, have to tell your feet to walk or your head to turn or your eyes to focus; that is a separate intelligence – separate to you yet connected to you and tailored individually to you via the energies that emanate from your soul to animate that body.
When the soul severs its connection to the physical body, the physical body’s intelligence truly dies as an individualisation of energy. The energy that is within the physical body migrates back to a pool of energy from which other physicalities can be drawn. That pool of energy has a separate consciousness to the soul-consciousness. What I am saying is that there is a pool of energy from which physicality is created that is separate from the God-energy that the human soul is created from and the intelligence within the physical body migrates back to that pool. That pool in itself is also God-energy (please do not misunderstand me) but it is not the God-energy that is the individualisation that you recognise as the individual soul.
Once the energy from the physical body has migrated back to the pool, the body lacks coherence because the body then is simply a construct within the illusion without any individual identity, and the magnetic attraction of the illusion breaks down that body into the soup of consciousness that we have called ‘the Field’ in the other titles. The body goes back to the Field. The ancients knew this – the ancients knew that the physical body had a separate consciousness to the soul, not an identity but a conscious, intelligent programme that ran the physical body. This, again, is why, upon physical death, the physical body in ancient times was completely destroyed and taken back to the Earth – usually by fire – to make absolutely certain that the consciousness within the physical body had migrated back to the Field and could not be linked to the body.
Here I must explain that the soul, upon physical death, will sometimes not relinquish the body – particularly if the soul believes that it is the body – and the soul tries to re-animate the body on occasions saying, ‘Why am I lying here when I can open my eyes but I can’t see through my physical eyes? Why can I not lift my hands or move my feet?’ The ancients knew that, in destroying the physical body and allowing that energy of the physical body to migrate back to the pool of energy that feeds individualisation on a physical level, they were freeing the soul.
Souls, as you know, become stuck, and they become stuck because they are not ready to acknowledge that there is anything beyond the death of the physical body; they become stuck because they have forgotten that they are Light and that they are spiritual beings. On the death of the body, in many cases, the soul cannot acknowledge and come to terms with the separation of the body from the soul’s shell and desperately tries to re-animate the physical body for a time. Many souls actually inhabit the physical body until the physical body is no more, until the strength of the illusion pulling at the physical body overpowers the soul’s memory of the physical body. Sometimes bodies decompose at a different rate; sometimes bodies are preserved. Sometimes a body, years after interment, can be as new, and this depends on the strength of the soul wishing to keep that physical body together.
There are many, many souls that inhabit the area of their physical body for as long as possible because they cannot acknowledge anything else. But there comes a point for each soul when their effect on the physical Field is (if you will forgive the expression) a ghost of its former strength and, at that point, the physical body gives in to the pull of the illusion; the intelligence of the physical body is fully absorbed back into the individualisation pool that relates to physical matter and the soul is left wondering what to do next.
This does not, of course, apply to a great many souls… yet there are a great many souls who will not leave this place, and there are a great many souls, too, who leave expecting specifics: expecting upon death of the physical body, for example, to see their Saviour; to be in a specific type of Heaven; to be greeted by saints or holy men and women; to be in a place that is a reward for their past endeavours on Earth.
If only it were so simple!
So, this initial talk, this initial chapter, is about the Last Chapter; it is about the need for you, the reader of this book, to acknowledge that you are not permanent on a physical level and that there has never been a soul on a physical level that is permanent.
You are on a journey. If you were to set out on a holiday you would expect, wouldn’t you, to enjoy the journey outwards and to anticipate the days ahead? Then there would come a mid-point in your holiday where there were as many days behind as there were in front, and from that point you would say, ‘I only have x days left – four days left; three days left; two days left.’ Then you would gather your possessions and you would return to your home. The holiday would be over. The journey would be over. In this case as below, so above …this is what happens to the soul. The soul has gone not on a holiday, but on a journey, and has set out into physicality. But physicality is an impermanent state so the soul has to turn around and return to its start-point – bringing with it its experiences.
You are going to die…
…but that is a joyous thing; that is an exciting thing; that is a further journey. I do not open this book to make you sad, to make you miserable. I wish to make you aware of the fact that you will not be here for much longer (no matter how young you are as a reader reading these words) and that there is a far more exciting, infinite journey ahead of you. In making you aware of your own mortality (of the mortality of your physical body) you will be more interested in what comes next… because the soul always has to have a ‘next’. The soul is always moving on to a new experience, to a new integration of itself with levels of energy.
The level of energy that you leave when your soul parts company with your physical body is a low one, is a restrictive one, is a limited one in vision, understanding and experience. So many souls cling on to this experience and return themselves to it. In this book I hope to show you that there is much more ahead for you than you could ever experience on the earth plane. Also, I hope to change your attitude towards death – not so that you welcome it (you are supposed to be here, you are designed to be here for a certain amount of time) but so that you are not afraid of it, and so that you are given the option, to examine and to consider, of not coming back here.
Many of your cultures talk of reincarnation. Reincarnation does exist, but you are the one who instigates it and you instigate it because either you feel that you have unfinished business on the earth plane or you feel that the experiences the earth plane has to give you are worth re-experiencing. You are drawn back to so many things: you are drawn back to physicality, to sex, to food, to pain. How can you be drawn back to pain? Because pain becomes familiar and because, when pain stops, you are relieved and feel that you have achieved something (and I am talking not just of pain physically; you also put yourself through mental pain, through spiritual pain and through emotional pain). And you will say: ‘Joseph, this is nonsense, I could never return into pain,’ and yet you do time and again; you become used to it. Do you not say better the devil you know? You become used to it and you blind yourself to the possibilities, to the realities, to the illumination and evolution of the next steps in your infinite journey as a part of God.
So this is ‘the last chapter’. Your life and this book begins with your physical death, and it is my intention to explain, scientifically and as precisely as I can, what happens to you upon physical death and to explain to you why it is a far better idea for yourself and for your brothers and sisters in God that you decide to move on when you leave this place.
Joseph [speaking to David and Jane]: This book is far more complex than the ones that have preceded it and there are many concepts that will have to be woven together by my words over the coming months. You will have to approach it in a more fluid manner than you have with the previous books that far more easily fit into chapters. I will return to themes throughout the next few months so that we can expand on them and so that we can get everything in its right place. I find myself having to remain calm in bringing through this information because I am excited about it. There is so much to tell and there is only one small beam of communication along which to direct my words.
You must act as monitors of the book that is taking shape and you must ask me questions – and you must remember that I am only presenting one dimension of a multi-dimensional concept and want to present as full a concept as I can to your readers. So I will begin this today by asking you to ask me questions if there is anything that you need to expand upon in what has been said in this introduction to the book.
Jane: I am appalled to think that people sometimes stay with their bodies after they have died and try to re-animate them for a while and I just wondered why they don’t notice that their bodies are underground, in a grave, rotting? What do they see?
Joseph: They see themselves. They identify completely with the body and they are so steeped in and so locked into the idea that physicality is all there is that they (for a time) shut out the possibility of there being more for them than identifying with the physical body. You must understand that there are thousands, millions of souls who look in the mirror and say, ‘That is me’ and that there is a lifetime of reinforcement of: ‘That is me! No matter what goes on within me, that is me. I am this island of flesh and nothing more’, and because God grants through the soul whatever the soul desires then that desire and belief is solidified. They are locked into an idea of that is me, and so, when they are suddenly not that image of that is me they cannot cope with it. They are so identified with their physical image they attempt to re-animate that physical image even though, from the perspective of another soul, they are standing next to their body and looking identical to that body but a good sight healthier. Do you see that?
Jane: I just wondered whether they were trying to re-animate the body that is in the grave?
Joseph: They are in a kind of dream-state (Michael has experience of this through working with souls who have become lost for a time), so it is not a consciousness as you would understand it today from your perspective of being in an earthly body. It is, if you like, an ‘un-waking dream’; it is a muddied perception; it is a sense of self projected onto something that they know will not respond any longer. So, if your question is: are they aware of their bodies degrading and are they aware of being underground – not as such because they are not there in effect, but they are making the link with the physical in a dream-like state (much as Michael goes into trance). You might call it an ‘earthly trance’ – a pull back to that perception of themselves that they believe.
You are, unfortunately, living in a time of celebrity, a time when so much importance is given to the physical body… The physical body must be preserved at all costs – particularly for women. You therefore have souls who pass having believed for the greater amount of their physical lives that the physical body must be preserved at all costs, so their instinct and their volition forces them for a time (until they realise something else) to buy into that and to continue their expectation that the physical body must be preserved at all costs. And so, of course, they are linked to the physical body until such time as we can convince them that there is more to do and a greater perspective ahead of them. They are in a stupor (as many discarnate souls who are linked to the earth plane, for a time, are) because they cannot exist in a physical world and they have not yet learnt to exist on a higher vibration. They are ‘between’. It is a twilight; it is a dream – as everything is a dream – but they are more aware of it being a dream-like state than the spirit who is in an earthly body or the spirit who has passed on to one of the higher spheres. Does that make sense?
Jane: Yes.
David: When we do go through a physical death and the soul withdraws you say that sometimes a soul forgets that it is a being of Light. Rather than just hanging around the physical plane I presume it can actually plummet even further down the vibrational scales. Is that the case?
Joseph: That is a very good point and it is the subject of quite a few paragraphs. You see how there is so much that needs to be said! In fact I will address this next time, touching on the effects of the Lower Astral on the soul and the effects of this plane on the soul at the point of it being severed from physical death.
We are talking about a vast book here and it was mentioned by Michael’s mentor, Joan, that there would be difficulty in bringing through the third book. There will be no difficulty but you have to be very precise and I am trying to follow a logical sequence of events. So we have, first of all, the shock and the realisation that must be brought to people that they will leave this plane, that they will meet that point of physical death. It is inevitable. Then I wish to explain what happens next and that is where that attraction via the astral plane and also via the earth plane (for many souls wander the earth plane for quite some time, having left their physical bodies) needs to be put under the microscope. I will do it next time. I will talk about the pull of the Lower Astral, and we must also talk about the upper vibrations, the upper desires with each soul and that the desires of the soul, on the point of death, determine what happens to it next and attract like-vibrations that can either be of a higher vibration or a lower vibration than the earth plane.
In constructing this book we must work together far more than we have done on the first two books and have an interaction to place everything in its correct position in presenting an argument to the people of Earth as to what happens upon death and what happens next and the options that are open to them as they progress.
Does that answer your question? I invite your questions because you will remind me of things and spark off other areas from the text that I have prepared within my aura to deliver at the right time.
We are, as you know, simply progressing ourselves, and this book gives me some nervousness in the weight of truth and fact that I have been entrusted with to bring through. I have my facts straight (as I know them) but I then have to transmit them through to you and you have to construct them in the correct order. Joan was wrong saying it would be more difficult – I would say that it will take more time because of its nature. In the meantime, to keep the audience interested and growing, I will deliver other lectures and addresses that you can give out to them [reference to public trance demonstrations] but this book is the most precise so far and is a massive undertaking.
Would that we had more time to spend together (and we are working to ensure that that takes place) but we have to work within the confines of the earth plane. I could talk to you at great length for hours from my point of view but we would exhaust Michael. We are aware of the pulls on his life and, because of his mediumistic ability and status, there are constant attacks on him from all quarters to try and prevent this information coming through. So it is a communication that is difficult under ordinary circumstances that is then made the more difficult by the forces you have just mentioned that seek to always negate and dissipate this information.
Is there anything else, David?
David: No, not for the moment, thank you.
Jane: My question is to do with the arc of energy from birth to death and I just wondered whether that arc was there before the Fall?
Joseph: The arc was still there but it was of a different nature. If you set out – and I use the analogy of a holiday and a journey – if you set out on that journey, and you do not get lost in the jungle and lose your memory, then you know you are on a journey and you know that you will one day return home. The point is you take that journey voluntarily for the right reasons, and there was much excitement before the time of the Fall in the individualisations of God, God’s children, who (similar to you going on an expensive, luxurious holiday) knew that they were going to set out into physicality; knew that they were part of a place that had been prepared; knew that that place had many opportunities presented by God-consciousness to enjoy; and knew that they could experience each other and their God in a new way by passing through this physical plane. But because it is a physical plane (because, ultimately, it is and has always been a ‘construct’) it cannot have a permanence. You cannot permanently be here, and this is part of the problem with the actions of the Fall, in that souls wish to make this their permanent home when it is only a ‘port of call’.
So, yes, in answer to your question, there was always the arc. The arc would take souls into physicality, into the paradise that this level, this Field, once was, but would then extricate them from that physicality back into the higher vibrations where they could make choices about the next step in their journey – because the soul must always move and change and evolve and take in new experiences. That was a far easier thing before the Fall when you were angelic beings in nature. You are angelic beings now but you were angelic beings in nature then, in that you came here not blindfolded but knowing full well that this was an experience – nothing more – an experience, an opportunity.
And you must recall that you have soul-groups, you have families, you have love waiting for you on the higher vibrations, the higher planes. Therefore, as souls, you would not choose to permanently separate yourselves from that love, from those associations, from the joy of being with people that you are integrated with and who are moving on (as you are moving on) in harmony with you. So it was always decided – decided – by yourselves and by God that this physicality was not permanent and your visit to it would not be permanent. It was decided! So in that respect death was a ‘return’, was known to be a return and was requested by you as souls: ‘I will go; I will experience the physicality of the plane; I will enjoy its many opportunities but then I will return home because that is what I wish.’ That volition to return home, to first enjoy this level at the level of experience that it was originally created and then… [interruption in the communication].
Michael: Sorry. Come back, Joseph.
Joseph: I am sorry, we are coming near to the end of the communication but I was wishing to express that there had been a time before this when souls voluntarily came here and voluntarily went home. And so the arc of physicality, the arc of vibration, was built into the physical body on purpose – not as a punishment, not as people see it now: believing that they come here and inevitably have to face death, so no matter what they put their energy into is of no matter because one day they will die. That is not how it was – and it is not how it is! It is just that people have forgotten. They are blindfolded. They come here with no memory whatsoever of who they are; no memory whatsoever of their spiritual home; no memory whatsoever of the purpose of their visit, and so they are attracted more and more into this level of physicality because to them, with their lack of spiritual memory, this is all there is. So of course they want it; they want it as pleasure and they want it as pain because it is all they know and they fear anything else.
What we are attempting to do is re-awaken that spiritual memory so that future generations are born with that spiritual memory in place because it has been placed there during their previous journey so that, as they reincarnate, they are already predisposed to accept that they need to move on. It may take a couple of generations but you have to feed the soul now so that it comes back with at least some of that knowledge to take the blindfold off. Do you see what I am saying?
Jane: Yes. Presumably, before the Fall, they didn’t age during the second half of the arc because the Field wasn’t negative then?
Joseph: The physical body, in those times, was relinquished and was absorbed at a higher level back into the illusion, which operated at a higher level, so the decay that you witness at present as the arc returns to its start-point was not of that kind – it was a dispersion rather than a decay. The bodies that souls had before the Fall were far more robust than the bodies you have now and were things of elevated vibrational intent rather than some of the perversions that are built into those bodies now. The physical bodies dispersed into the Light of the illusion rather than being pulled at by the depths of the illusion as they are today, resonating at the same level as the depths of the illusion. So much of your world is corruption and decay and, once the soul has exited the physical body today, the physical body is prey to corruption and decay so it is absorbed back into the corruption and the decay of the Field, whereas in ancient times, before the Fall, the physical body was embraced back into the Light of the Field. It was not a degenerative event; it was a re-ordering of physical matter into Light from which more physical matter could be drawn. Do you see that?
Jane: Yes.
Joseph: Is there anything that either of you wish to ask before we conclude today’s meeting?
David: An individual’s arc of life has a predetermined departure date but is that still the case in something like a violent death, or perhaps an abortion or a suicide – or is it that the soul opted out of that arc at some point?
Joseph: It is an excellent question and it is one that is tied up with the whole concept of predestiny and choice, and to what extent a soul is allowed to have an influence over the predestined time for it to exit the physical realm. There is information I will communicate at a future date that deals with suicide, because suicide is one of those topics that fascinates spiritual seekers. You have within your midst, from your own group, one of your guides who committed suicide [reference to Silver Star] and I will, at that time, bring him in to intersperse his own recollections of the act and what happened to him next.
With regard to lives that are seemingly cut short, often that point is the point that has been predestined or organised by the Lords of Karma for that soul. It is only from the point of view of Earth that it seems to be short or inappropriate because the people surrounding that soul expect it to exist on Earth for a reasonable amount of time, and so feel deprived or cheated when that soul goes to the spirit side at what is considered, from an earthly point of view, to be an early stage of its physical existence.
In the case of abortions, you have to consider that there are the karmic implications surrounding the parents and the doctors so there is a mix with those souls with regard to the soul that has incarnated momentarily and then is withdrawn to the spirit levels. There is always a purpose in that soul coming; there is never a soul’s incarnation on a physical level that does not have a purpose – and that purpose is always to further the evolution and the enlightenment of souls. So a soul may come into the body of a baby to have ramifications on the mother, the father, the doctors and the potential grandparents.
The soul may also have a need to visit this Earth momentarily for a specific purpose of its own; to dip into the level of physicality for a reason tied up with that particular soul’s evolution. It may only need to touch the earth plane briefly or it may be pulled momentarily into the Earth existence to deal with something that we have touched upon in past communications [Reference to a question at a public trance demonstration] because a part of that soul feels that it needs to return to sort something out and to put closure into a situation. That soul may be highly elevated on a spiritual level but there is still an element of it that desires, pulls and tries to come back to the earth plane. And so the soul may fleetingly touch this realm through a few months of existence. It really doesn’t dwell here at all but is drawn in partially just so that it can release itself from that aspect of itself that pulls – perhaps for the last time – so that it can be freed into the spirit realms without ever needing to incarnate on the earth plane again.
Every life has a purpose and an effect: there is a purpose for the life and there is an effect on others. In the grand machine of enlightenment nothing is wasted, everything is as it should be and every opportunity is used to give as many souls as possible the opportunity to grow through observation, through experience and through enlightenment.
It is a vast subject, I know, but I hope that that partially answers the question. As I say, we will return to suicide because it is something that people need to understand and definitively we need to look at this to say: ‘These are the consequences; these are the non-consequences; this is a myth; this is not a myth’ – and to sort that out so that people are clear as to what happens in suicidal cases.
Your final question, please!
Jane: It is just a question about the separate consciousness of the body but I think it is probably too big a subject so perhaps it should wait for another day…
Joseph: There is an overall control to the physical body. The physical body is fed by the individualisation pool of energy. If you regard the physical body as a machine, then that machine has to know how to operate – otherwise you would spend all your waking moments operating the machine and not enjoying the experience. So the physical body is tailored to the soul and linked to the soul but has to have a degree of sentience or intelligence, otherwise your physical experience would be intolerable; you would have to control, as a soul, every single aspect of your body’s functions and needs, micro-second to micro-second.
So the body has an intelligence, and built into the body is part of that arc of vibration so the cells know when to regenerate, how to regenerate and then react to the soul’s gradual withdrawal of energy from that physical body and start to shut themselves down. Were you to do that you would have no experience here whatsoever except for the maintenance and running of the physical body.
When I talk of the intelligence of the physical body, I do not mean that the physical body has a personality, but I do mean that the physical body has a purpose and an intent. And that intent is to keep you protected; that intent is to anchor you within its field so that you can experience from one viewpoint (rather than from many), and it has an intelligence so that it reacts to the wishes of the soul. You, the soul, are within the personality and you project the personality, so do not feel that the physical body has a personality – it does not. Yes, it has an intelligence, but it is a ‘communal’ intelligence that originates from a ‘field’ that has been set up, which you can liken to a factory (although that is a very bad analogy) …a ‘headquarters’ from which souls can order a physical body. That central pool runs the physical body, gives it its intelligence and then, when the soul is separated from the physical body, that intelligence returns back to headquarters to be made into a bright, shiny, new physical body! Do you see?
Jane: Yes, it’s amazing!
Joseph: The whole experience, Children, is amazing! Life is amazing, and this is what we wish to convey to people – the sheer wonder and joy of life – and I communicate with you in order to bring back joy to people, because in joy we can reach them; in joy they can lift the vibration of the physical Field; and in joy we can remind them who they are …and get them out of here!
I ask you now to be quiet just for a moment as I attempt to extricate myself from Michael’s mental processes.
