Joseph: Having spoken about time last time we were together, it seems appropriate this session to talk about space …or, rather, distance because man perceives himself as being distanced from his brother and sister, distanced from God and distanced from objects that appear to be far away and ‘at a distance’ from him.

I would like to suggest to you this morning that all distance is an illusion.

Let us begin with the illusion of distance from God. The distancing from God that man experiences on Earth is due (as we have said in previous books) to the effects of the Fall. The distancing is not there except in the mind, attitude and viewpoint of the individual spirit. If you remove that viewpoint – that perception of distance – the spirit is at heart, at soul and at core one with God always.

The distance comes from the difference in vibration caused at the time of the Fall and the resulting change of mind …from an acceptance of being one with God to a perception of being individualised and at a distance from God. In reality the opposite is true – the spirit cannot be at a distance from God, and, because we are linked, cannot be at a distance from his brother and sister or from nature.

All is ONE and all is here NOW.

Here is a concept I would like you to consider …that everything exists here at the same point because the only point that exists is the point of connection with God.

The only point that exists is the point of connection with God – everything else is an illusion.

And so, you project distance in order to experience. You project, in a linear existence, points at which you perceive your journey. You believe that you are travelling from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ …when, in effect, point ‘A’ and point ‘B’ are passing by you so that you can observe them. You expand the landscape from yourself outwards in order to experience different aspects of yourself along a journey which doesn’t exist. (I am sorry that sounds like a cosmic joke …and it is.)

…Let us get back to basics. You are angelic beings. As angelic beings individualised in viewpoint only from God, you travel outwards in vibration. You distance yourself from God in order to bring back to God more experience which you create by moving through the layers of illusion you place around yourselves in order to experience.

When you travel ‘outwards’ from God (and outwards is a relative term) you immerse yourselves in the creations of yourself and others. These creations are paper-thin and are not the material constructs they appear to be. They do not have width, height or distance …except in their needing to appear so in order that you can travel through them at a level of vibration at a distance from God. In other words, the concepts around you and which you travel through are nothing more than ‘dreams’ that you have dreamed up in order to explore possibility, and to take the results of that possibility back to God to enhance the Whole.

This is known in other areas of spiritual reality. This is known in areas of spiritual reality that are not of the Fall. Yes, the traveller through a landscape experiences that landscape. Yes, the traveller through a landscape appears to be moving onwards in a linear fashion (to some extent) through that landscape. But, it is known at core that the landscape is, in fact, an illusion placed around a traveller in order that the traveller may learn and grow.

In your encapsulated existence, you have invested a greater belief in the landscape as being a true landscape. You, therefore, see your heavily linear existence as a journey through a set of landscapes that inevitably lead to the point of physical death, and then you are freed from that or enter a non-state (according to your religious beliefs). You have invested belief, to a greater extent, in the landscape.

Were you not in the effects of the Fall and were you, for example, living within another sphere of experience on another planet, you could more easily travel between point ‘A’ and point ‘B’. You would not have to put on a rucksack and boots to walk across the landscape. You would simply wish to be in another part of the landscape …and you would find yourself in another part of that landscape. You cannot do that on Earth because you are encapsulated in heavy physical bodies and are traversing heavy physical matter.

But my point today is that the landscape is not actually there. The potential for experience expressed through the landscape you have created is there …but not the actual landscape.

Similarly, the ‘landscape’ that you place between yourself and others in terms of personality does not actually exist. The personality is a similar construct or ‘landscape’ for you to journey through, as part of God, in order to discover and grow by examining aspects of emotion, aspects of approach to certain challenges and aspects of how you, having created the landscape of one personality, inter-react with the landscape of another personality.

The personality around you and the personality around another are as ephemeral, transient and as paper-thin as the actual physical landscape you perceive around you every day. They are not really there, and if you view yourself and others from a God-point – from the core – you see that there is …not only any distance between you, the person next to you and the person across the world from you …but there is no difference between you, your brother and your sister and everyone else across the world.

This may make it easier for you to channel out Light to people, realising that the personalities you see and the traits you see in races and in certain areas across the world are actually a result of the Fall impinging on the original personalities that were around you as the angelic children at the time of the Fall.

As a result of the Fall everything has been brought into sharp relief …the personality has been brought into sharp relief …the sense of distance has been brought into sharp relief. You perceive things differently because of the effects of the Fall. You perceive your journey as stretching out ahead of you rather than passing in front of you – with you being the observer. You perceive yourself as entrenched within the landscape of the personality, and you carry that single landscape with you from birth to death believing that it is you. Yes, it exhibits aspects of you, but the personality is not you – it is a ‘landscape’ that has been created around you in order for you to experience.

If it follows (which it does) that the landscape or personality around everyone else is simply an illusion created around them in order that they may learn and experience, then it is easier to cut through your prejudices …to cut through your hatreds …to cut through your angers …to cut through your fears and reservations …and to see other people as the identical aspects of God that they are.

There is no difference!

This will shock you, but there is no difference at core between yourself and your neighbour …between yourself and the person who is peaceful …between yourself and the person who is violent.

At core you are identical.

You are a part of God and of each other.

Logically, therefore, if you love God and God loves you, and if you love yourself as part of God …you have to love each spirit you meet (or don’t meet) across the globe equally because they are an equal to you.

Let us look at the physical landscape. If the physical landscape is an illusion, and the distance between you and other points around the globe is an illusion, then the distance between you and all other expressions of life on this planet is also an illusion. Begin to look at the animal forms …at the plant forms …at the mountains …at the rivers …at the rocks …at the grass …as expressions of God that have been sent forth; expressions of deva-expression that are cloaked temporarily in a temporary landscape.

And, as I suggest you look at each other without that landscape and acknowledge that you are all equal, I suggest that you also look at the other aspects of the life that is abundant around your globe. And, in your meditations strip away the illusion of landscape and distance – whether that distance means that the forms you are looking at are at the other side of the globe, or whether that distance is simply an acknowledgment of you acknowledging yourself as a ‘human’ and seeing another form of life as a ‘cow’ or a ‘tree’ or a ‘stream’ or a ‘mountain’ or a ‘rock’.

Strip away the illusion of that landscape and you will find at core that you are not only equal to those other expressions of life and they to you, but you are identical to them because, whether God manifests Himself as ‘you’ as an individualisation in angelic form, or manifests Himself as a deva form that then manifests out aspects of nature you are dealing with a single expression of God.

On other worlds there are other expressions of God, but they are cloaked in landscapes of illusion. They are equal to you. The planet is equal to you. The universe is equal to you – no more, no less important – but essentially, at core, exactly the same thing.

So ‘space’ in terms of space between ‘you’ – between aspects of you – doesn’t exist. It is an illusion, and if you strip away that illusion you are viewing the same thing.

I hope that this helps in your combatting the effects of the Fall because, if you take to heart the meaning of this chapter, you can never look at any other form of life in any other way than as a reflection of yourself. You can never look at any other human being in any other way than as a reflection of yourself. And, in looking at a reflection of yourself, you have to acknowledge what you love about yourself in others. You have to acknowledge the God-Love at your core …you being worthy of it …but also everyone else and everything else being worthy of it too.

The reason I have given you this explanation at this point is to help you with your Light-meditations, because Light-meditations can be difficult because of the heavy aspects of the illusive landscape that you place around others: ‘I would like to love that person but it is difficult because …they have this type of personality ...they have this type of belief …they are in this part of the world …they have this physical aspect.’

All these things are illusion.

There is no space between you.

There is no distance between you.

There is no distance between you and God.

In addition to being able to view people differently, I hope that you can see, in what we are considering today, the closeness of God-power to you. If there is no distance between you and God, if God flows through you constantly and with the same power that He did at the point when you were individualised (as you view it) then you have that amount of power within you to channel across the world in your endeavours to change the world and its people back to the way they were before the Fall.

In other words, it is not a matter of reaching out at a distance to God and receiving a percentage of Light (perhaps ten per cent or fifty per cent or seventy per cent). It is not that you endeavour and struggle to bring Light into yourself to send out to the world (except in your view of how you are connected with God). If you are connected with God one hundred per cent, if you are part of God one hundred per cent, then the effects of your meditations and your Light-bearing on behalf of others is one hundred per cent. It cannot be otherwise! It is only in the measure that you perceive that ability to bring Light to bear that you diminish the effects of yourself as an angelic being and channeller of God-energy.

This chapter is important because you need to understand these things in order to:

Love everything.

Be a channel for Light to the maximum effect.

Did the Christ not say, ‘I and the Father are One’ before he brought into being what people regard as miracles? …He said, ‘I and the Father are one’ to focus his attention on the fact that there is no separation and no distance between ourselves and God.

I and the Father are One …linked, connected, able to create as we have always created since we were created – since we were set apart as a fragment of God within the illusion – so that God can become more whole, more experienced and can evolve, due to our experiences travelling through the landscapes of illusion that we create in order to grow and to raise the One.

There is only the One.

What then happens when you set out on a journey? If one of you goes to your door …and gets into a car …and goes to an airport …and flies across a continent …and lands in another country …and takes another car …and finds oneself on a beach or in a hotel somewhere – what then happens?

…What happens is that you draw the journey to yourself. You place yourself within the illusion of the journey. You place a part of your God-consciousness within the illusion of you entering the car …going to the airport …flying across the continent …getting out of the plane into another car …and going to your final destination. You pull those experiences to yourself from your core, but you perceive them as being the other way round. You perceive them as being experiences that you enter into physically and that the state of experience around you changes – that you are entering different vehicles, that you are entering different countries, that you are arriving somewhere. What you are arriving at is a different experience that you have already placed around yourself in advance.

So, there is no travelling except as perception, except as involvement within a series of circumstances that you draw towards yourself.

Three men put themselves into a spaceship and the spaceship is fired off towards the moon. The spaceship lands on the moon and the men get out. They examine the moon and then get back into the spaceship to come back to Earth.

No.

They don’t!

…Three spirits decide that that is the experience they wish to have, and so they draw towards themselves the changes in their landscape that allows them to experience the journey to the moon, the moon itself and coming back from the moon.

Does the moon not exist?

Well, yes, of course it exists, but it exists within a different malleable landscape than the one that you perceive to be true. It is not the solid matter that you perceive it to be. It feels solid, yes, because you have entered into an acceptance of it as being solid. It feels that it is a certain number of miles away because you have entered into the acceptance that it is a certain number of miles away.

But, in reality, it is a changing landscape that has been placed temporarily around you so that you can experience it, if you so wish, via the mechanics of illusion that you have as your tools at this time because of the effects of the Fall.

If you were existing on the Earth as a crystalline sphere with the moon as another sphere of influence within its atmosphere (both of those things having been created by the angelic children as areas of perception and adventure) then, in your purest form, you would go to the moon simply by wishing to be on the moon. You would experience the moon simply by wishing to have the moon play out its ‘advantages’ – with regard to your experience – around you. And, you would return to the sphere of the Earth simply by wishing yourself back in the sphere of the Earth.

I hope this explains the depths (and ‘depths’ is the right word) to which the illusion has encapsulated itself because of the effects of the Fall. Outside the effects of the Fall there are still myriad landscapes to enjoy. There are still landscapes to journey through, but with a different perception …realising that those beautiful spheres, each one different to the last one, are coming to you and are as a result of your creation …that you do not move through them – they move across your sphere of perception …that they are temporary constructs …that at any time, if you are moving through a landscape and wish to perceive a different aspect of that landscape, you can pass between what seems to be ‘solid’ into another landscape and then back again. There are multiple landscapes available to the ‘spiritual traveller’ in the true sense (i.e. the angelic child that is not trapped in the effects of the Fall).

…And this landscape is no different.

This landscape that you perceive as solid, hard and unable to be changed (except by the natural laws of weather and nature around the planet) is, in fact, as malleable and flexible as all the other spirit landscapes throughout the universes were you to believe in it and that, as a spirit, you could put your hand through a rock or a tree or through the illusion of another person. And what is the hand? You are only extending out a point of consciousness into another matrix of consciousness in order to experience. You do not believe, and so the landscape remains what you do believe …unchanging, solid and unable to be influenced by thought, by Love, by Light.

This is a further point I want to make about your energies as you transmit the Light needed to transform this area back to the way it was before the effects of the Fall. Your energies – being God-energy, being God-Light – are more than capable of reshaping the world because the world as it is remains as it is because of the investment in the belief of the experiment that took place at the time of the Fall.

You, as part of God transmitting full God-power, know better.

So, you can help to transform the landscape through your Light-bearing, through your Light-focusing, through your thoughts. You can change the landscape back to what it was. You can heal the Earth. You can heal individuals. Because what you are doing is bringing, into the landscape of the Fall, a more powerful landscape – the landscape of God, the power of God – which overrides and transforms the landscape of the Fall …if you believe it …if you are willing to transmit it …if you are willing to invest in it.

If you are not, then everything will remain the same.

Finally, I must talk about the distance that you perceive between yourselves and those who are no longer in a physical body – those who have removed themselves from this ‘landscape of experience’ and are experiencing the effects of the cleansing spheres in order to release themselves into Infinity.

When the physical presence has gone, because of your belief in a finite body and your belief in a finite personality spiritually, you suffer and you grieve. You feel that the person might be there, but you can no longer perceive them and you can no longer have access to them.

As a spirit you have constant access to those who are on a harmonious vibration with you – those that you love. When you are freed at night from the effects of the Fall temporarily, you are connected again to those you love; you discuss things with them; you examine your paths together in a glorious landscape and a glorious meeting place that is far more etheric and beautiful than the Earth that you perceive at this time because of the effects of the Fall. You are not separated, but it is unfortunate that the Fall separates you at the moment of consciousness again to this level. The overall belief in the landscape being as it is and in the state of the Earth being as it is cuts off all memory of communication that you have had with those people who have gone before you into the cleansing spheres.

Please believe me – this is not the normal course of events. As you become used to channelling God-Light (and, in the measure that you believe in the strength and ability of that Light to make change) then your feeling of being with those who have gone on ahead of you will increase. Your feeling of them being a constant presence with you will increase, because you are fighting and changing the effects of the Fall and remembering your spirit reality.

In spirit reality there is no – and cannot ever be – any separation from those people you are in harmony with …except at times when you wish to experience the ‘no-thing’ and to experience isolated contemplation in order to grow. But, that is only a temporary thing, and you do not go into that isolation thinking, ‘I’m going to separate myself forever from those that I love.’

It cannot be!

When you return from that contemplative sphere, you are instantly reunited by choice and forever with those ‘aspects of yourself’ …(remember, the people you are in harmony with – be they here or in the cleansing spheres – are part of yourself)… you are reunited with them and can never be separated from them.

Questions, please!

Tony: Joseph, as a therapist, the one word that keeps springing up is ‘emotions’ …so am I right in thinking that the biggest single thing that holds us back is our emotions?

Joseph: Emotions are a means of investigating the physical challenges that come to you. You have layered emotions. You have the bliss, and the state of bliss and harmony that you have at core is the only true emotion. That is your true emotional state, but putting the word ‘emotions’ onto that state is sort of trowelling on a thickness and a heaviness. That expression of bliss is something that, in the normal course of events in Creation, you express even when you are experiencing in matter and are travelling through a landscape of your own choosing in other worlds.

Because of the effects of the Fall, as you reach out in bliss that vibration cannot easily root itself in the surrounding vibration of the Earth at this time. Also, because of the belief that you put into the Fall experiment, your emotions become twisted and minimised. They cannot send out their experience of bliss to others and to the world as they should do. So, your emotions are a base reflection of the state of bliss, and giving, and harmony, and creation that you are at heart.

If you, in all circumstances, attempt with all your heart to infuse bliss into the way that you react to others emotionally, your part in those proceedings will then harmonise out and will become balanced …your anger will disappear …your frustration will disappear …the pressure you feel under will disappear …the stings of others against your small earthly ego will disappear.

So, in emotional circumstances – if you are the recipient of adverse emotions or if you are giving out emotions that you are not happy with – the secret in meditation and in quiet times is to infuse those emotions with a state of harmony, to love them, to enfold them, to nurture them with love and with bliss …and they will disappear. The state of bliss will overcome them, transform them and transform the situation. It will also lead to a greater degree of health within you, because the conflict will then not exist between your inner core and your physical and emotional shell that is a part of the Fall. Do you see that?

It is a healing exercise. It stabilises the emotions, and it minimises the effect of degradation – both on the physical and mental body – that otherwise exists and eats away at a person, because of those skewed emotions that are the end-expression of bliss, twisted and transmuted by the effects of the Fall.

Tony: So, skewed emotions or what I would call ‘negative emotions’ – like anger and fear-based emotions – can they accumulate over more than one lifetime?

Joseph: As we have discussed in previous books, you re-inherit the karmic implications of reincarnating again. But, as we have also said, you can transmute that karma by letting it go and by infusing it with God-energy, infusing it with Light and infusing it with harmony.

You do re-inherit karmic situations from past incarnations, and this is the danger of coming back to the Earth because the strongest of those tendencies comes back to haunt you, but you can also transmute them at any time by letting go of them.

They become ‘precious’ to people – emotional responses become precious and become repetitive. The faults of the past become precious because the spirit cannot see further than them, cannot see that it is a spirit, cannot see that it is part of God, and so clings on with a vengeance to all that it perceives it has and won’t let go. But at any time it can let go. At any time it can transmute them, but first it has to examine the possibility that it is more than it appears to be and has to, through trial and error, discover that it is indeed a spirit. At that point when it begins to emanate Light, it can transmute its own karma and can also use that Light to ‘lighten the load’ literally of others and of the planet.

Does that make sense?

Tony: Thank you, very much so.

Jane: Joseph, could I ask a question about the illusion of personality which became skewed at the time of the Fall? What originally was the reason for the difference? Going back to the ‘rope’ analogy [reference to chapter one of the Fall], was it because the strands were all different?

Joseph: The personality in its purest form is, if you like, a ‘storehouse’ of the trends that the spirit exhibiting that personality has invested more time in.

You are individual. You are identical, but you can have different paint on doors and windows, can’t you? You can have different aspects to the brickwork and different aspects to the roof, but within the layout is the same.

So, as individualised aspects of God (dreamed of as individualised by God), you enjoy and specialise in different aspects of creation. One will love a certain aspect of creation – another will love a different aspect, and you choose, as you progress, to investigate and perhaps work with those aspects of creation. You then attract to the personality, a reflection of your interest in those particular aspects of creation, and so your personality is different in that respect. It is like having a set of school books or a set of treasured belongings exhibited in the outer personality that determine you as being a specialist in this area or that area.

That is not to say that you will not eventually love all areas …you do… but you choose, at different points in your eternal and infinite evolution, to focus on certain areas – as the group souls focus on certain areas. And so your personality, in its truest and purest form, reflects that …you are a lover of nature …you are a lover of creating planets …you are a lover of understanding God …and those are things that exist in the greater personality.

At the time of the Fall those things (as with all other aspects of the spiritual being) became trapped and distorted. You see there the beginnings of the fight for the ego – the fight for what I have …the fight for the ways that I am different from you …the fight to keep me as ‘me’ and you out – when originally those differences were not differences in terms of conflict, but differences in terms of preference of creation at that time. Do you see that?

Jane: Yes. Was the intention to give slightly different points of view to the individualisations so that God could, through them, experience different points of view?

Joseph: Each individualisation of God is a different point of view …but the point of view is not the individualisation of God. The point of view is the accumulated experience of the individualisation of God. The individualisation of God is identical. Do you see?

If you collect certain things around you, if you frequent certain restaurants or go to see certain types of film, those are things that you accumulate around you as expressions of you …but they are not the core you. And so, the original personality was an accumulation of preferences of creation and areas of interest that the individualisation of God had placed around itself temporarily, that would be added to, as the millennia and the experiences passed, and would be constantly changing, but it has coalesced into a physical personality.

I haven’t much time left – do you see?

Jane: Yes, thank you.

Joseph: It is an area that I would love to talk upon at length, but we are running out of the connection at this time. David, is there something you would like to ask?

David: We have spoken today about the transmission of Light and how each individual is the same at core. If we were to transmit Light into another person or group of people, and those people consider themselves as separate, at a distance and as being apart from the One – can we accept that Light on their behalf, as we are all One? For example, if I was to transmit Light to somebody who needs healing but feels separated and doesn’t believe and so forth, can I accept that Light on their behalf?

Joseph: What you are doing is not violating their wish to remain within the Fall; what you are doing is bringing in and transmitting God-Light (which is theirs by right and is them at core) to strengthen their core of God-Light so that, as time passes and enough Light is transmitted to their core, they begin to lift the lid on the illusion …and that is when the change comes. You are not forcing a change upon them. You are acknowledging them in transmission of Light to what they really are. You are strengthening their core to the point at which they can make a choice.

At the present time most people cannot make a choice because they do not have the available information and perspective from within. The only way to elevate someone is to ‘re-charge’ them, is to irradiate them with enough God-Light so that they begin to remember and to make choices based on angelic decision rather than human decision from the point of view of the Fall. Do you see that?

David: Yes.

Joseph: We are never allowed to influence by force. We can’t do that – all we can do is make available the information for viewing. But the information cannot be viewed by the majority of mankind because it has encapsulated itself so deeply in layers of matter, and in physical, mental and emotional illusion, that the Light-within is not given any opportunity to examine itself and its circumstances.

It is, in effect, like giving food to a starving child. You are sending the Light in order to reinforce and reinvigorate that which we are in the other person, so that that other person – at some point as it crosses its lifespan ‘linearly’ (from its point of view) – is given enough Light to begin to examine its circumstances from a spiritual perspective.

Then, from a spiritual perspective, it only has one choice.

That choice is not forced upon it, but is the only choice because it is the choice that it had before the time of the Fall. That choice is to look at its life and see it to be lacking …and to look at the world and see it to be lacking …and then to restore its life and the world through the further transmission of Light.

So, it is a network, with you being one point in that network lighting up the signals that are the other points of the network until the whole network has transformed itself and freed itself from the illusion that it has placed itself under.

Each point in that network will do so voluntarily by examining its point of view with regard to being within the matrix of the Earth and within the matrix of an individual earthly personality. It will examine that point of view from within, as a result of Light being transmitted, and will inevitably (if enough Light is transmitted) wish to restore itself to a state of bliss and the planet to a state of perfection …because that is the only choice as a spirit it would wish to make. Is that sufficient?

David: Yes, thank you.
