Greetings my Friends,

Death is just a blink of the eye - a moment in time. Think of a drop of water - it is whole by itself - but when it drops into a pool of water it becomes as one with the pool. When it joins the pool, its arrival creates ripples which reach the furthest shore. That is what happens when your spirit leaves the physical and returns to spirit. Its return adds to the whole and makes the universe whole.

You may fear the word "death" - but it is the door to a wonderful existence which is your natural home. The process of leaving your physical body may seem long and hard - or it may happen in an instant - so quickly that you do not notice your passing from one existence to another.

Fear not - you will never be "lost" and your passing into spirit will be accompanied by much rejoicing as you return home. Those you leave behind will mourn your departure, but many more will welcome you and join you in celebration.

The manner of your passing, has been chosen as part of your physical experience - not by someone else - but by you. You - the true you - your spirit - has chosen this experience - and it should be accepted as part of your physical life. This is not to say that it is expected that you must suffer needlessly. The triumph over pain and distress is part of your advancement from a creature at the whim of the physical world - to one who has learnt to control and improve his physical existence. Improvement should be on all levels - physical and spiritual.

Seek to understand and accept that your physical life is a learning opportunity - which you can use to its full potential - or waste - it is your choice. Death is one of the lessons which you should see as an opportunity. It should not be feared or avoided. There is no way any physical being can avoid death in a physical life. Those who would seek to have their bodies restored to life, do not understand the purpose of life.

We would wish that each of you could approach your death as a joyous event to be much desired. If you do this, your passing will be smooth and give you little distress. Physical pain may be great - but your spirit will feel no pain. You are truly a spiritual being within a physical body - but the physical body will pass. Patience - you will return to spirit when your time is right.

My blessings upon you and your life...

Joseph

Greetings my Friends,

Swimming against the stream is usually a thankless task - but one which builds muscle. If you fear that you will be ridiculed or ostracised for your beliefs in spirit, it will be so. We do not promise that the way to enlightenment is easy - but every time you talk of your beliefs, you will be helping others along the path.

Speak to others of your beliefs - but do not harangue them. Sow the seed and eventually, given the right circumstances, it will blossom. You may not be present to see the blossoming - but it will happen. Even the coldest darkest soul will eventually be touched and awake to the warmth and light of spirit.

Do not despair that others appear not to listen - or even ridicule you. It matters not - for you have spoken the truth - and the truth will open the dooor. Think of the world of spirit as a wonderful room full of love and light. To many it is hidden behind a solid heavy door which they cannot open because their mind and spirit is too weak. If you provide a key - or a gentle push - the door will swing wide. They may enter boldly - or they may peer around the corner and be afraid of the light.

A spirit makes many small steps, before it realises its full potential. We should not judge - for we were once as they are now. Our spirit too made small stumbling steps forward toward the light. Speak and pray for help for others - and for yourself. You will aid those who need help - including yourself. Trust in your innermost feelings - they are your true spirit.

Begin as you wish to end. Do not deviate along the path and say "it matters not - I will do the right thing later". Beware - every small thought or misdeed against your spirit will exact a price. Your spirit will be held back by your bad thoughts and deeds. No good deed will wipe out the bad. You will see for yourself both the good and bad things that you have done - and will regret each bad choice you made. You will not be punished - except by your own regret.

Peace be with you always...

Joseph

Greetings my Friends,

Speak to me of your hurts and disappointments and I will say "how fortunate you are to have this experience". I am not cruel, I am not unfeeling. I feel your pain - I feel your loss.

Everything has a time - a purpose and an end. That purpose is sometimes hard to see - but it is there. Seek not to change what you cannot change. Seek only to accept and learn wisdom.

Should you rant and rave - calling for revenge and more hurt? No - this will achieve nothing. You must rise above the hurts and allow your spirit to soar unimpeded. Join with others in bringing peace and love to a hurt and fragile world.

Know that Spirit is with you always - even in your darkest times. Spirit is all-knowing and all-loving. It will support you if you allow yourself to receive. The Spirit world is close to you at all times and will help you to survive and grow.

Love conquers all...

Joseph

Greetings my Friends,

Your Christmas season is close upon you. It is a time of rejoicing - for remembering a birth - and for joining with family and friends. Do not forget those who are lonely or suffering. Make them part of your special time. This will give you - and them - some feeling of the true meaning of Christmas - renewal and peace for all beings on your world.

The origins of Christmas have slipped into the dim past - but the meaning of life and celebration should be nurtured and greeted with delight. Do not allow yourselves to be diverted to the material at the expense of the spiritual.

Belief in an afterlife is a natural part of being a spiritual being - and the belief in a Christ child is but one aspect of that spiritual realm. Do not allow the beliefs of man and churches to steal away the true message of Christmas. The true meaning is peace and renewal of life and the spiritual being.

Your time on Earth is short - so join with others in celebrating and working for peace. My wishes for a happy and peaceful season of goodwill to all men is with you.

Greetings my Friends,

Greet the dawning of a new year with joy and anticipation. There will be many opportunities for learning and spiritual advancement.

Seek to understand everything around you - both in the physical and spiritual world. Learn to gain knowledge and the wisdom to understand its true meaning. Remember - knowledge without understanding is a hollow achievement. Understanding comes from having a fair and open mind which can understand the spiritual message which is contained within.

Your new year may bring trial and tribulations - but it will also bring joy and laughter. Laughter is like a medicine which heals the soul and lightens the load. Use this new year to lighten the load - not only of others - but of yourself also.

Each passing year in your existence brings more lessons and learning opportunities. It also brings you closer to your true home in Spirit. Welcome the passing of time as you would an old and trusted friend. It brings you closer toward your goal. It gives you time for helping and learning.

A new year brings new wisdom in Spirit and new and better things for your physical life. Go forward my friends with renewed vigour and anticipation.

Your friend in Spirit...

Joseph

Greetings my friends,

Your lives are your own to use as you wish. You may learn or you may waste that life. The difference is your understanding of the lessons to be learnt from what you experience. If you fail to examine your life and the experiences within it - you may fail to gain the greatest possible benefit.

No life is truly wasted - for always some benefit is derived from experience. The most benefit is gained however when you examine each experience and look at it in different ways. Could you have handled the experience better and have gained more spiritual understanding from it? If the answer is "yes", decide that in future you will consider carefully before you commit yourself to any particular coarse of action.

Remember that inaction is an action. It is not useful to simply say "I did nothing - so no change was made". Every action - or inaction - has a consequence. You should be aware of this and use opportunities wisely. Your thoughts are as much an action as any other activity you may undertake.

Guilt is not a word which is used in the Spirit world, but remember that you yourself will regret lost opportunities and failings which could have been avoided. It is the duty and desire of each and every spirit to improve and to reach for the Spiritual heights.

If you feel that your life has been wasted, and that you have missed many opportunities for spiritual advancement, do not despair - you are not a failure - and there will be many opportunities in the future. The fact that you have become aware of your previous shortcomings is an advancement in wisdom.

Wisdom comes after much soul-searching upon each experience. Experience - good or bad - should be seen as an opportunity to acquire wisdom and understanding - not just of yourself, but of the Universe in which you exist. You are a spiritual being in a spiritual universe.

Peace be with you...

Joseph

Greetings my Friends

Your lives are ones that offer many opportunities to gain wisdom and understanding of spiritual matters. Every little happening and thought is like a shiny gem which should be polished, examined and admired. Each has its own wisdom and beauty.

Even the most upsetting of events can be turned to positive benefit - both for yourself and for others around you. Do not hold onto bitterness at injustices or stupidity - learn and change things for the better. If you have been hurt, face that hurt and put it aside. Promise yourself that you will make it serve you.

Your ability to learn from past hurts and disappointments, is a challenge - but also a measure of your spiritual development. If you hold onto negativity, you will sour your life and relationships. In addition, you will not learn what is to be gained in wisdom if you cannot step back and examine what has happened.

You may feel that you are helpless to change what has past - and it is true that you cannot change the event - BUT - you can change your response to what you now see from a greater distance. Seek to obtain clarity - and then understanding and wisdom will come. If you can brush aside the hurts which cloud your sight, you will see that some facet of the experience does shine with opportunity.

Forgive those who hurt you - but seek not to repeat their mistakes. If you can do this you will find that your burden is lifted. Your soul will be freed from its chains. You must learn to do this and encourage others to do the same. Peace and love are all that is important - both in your present life and in the whole universe.

Peace go with you through all your days..

Joseph

Greetings my Friends,

Traveling through time is as easy as traveling through space. It depends on the method you use . Your mind is capable of traveling unhindered to anywhere and any time. Do not limit yourselves to your present time. Stretch your wings and use your imagination to open doors to all times and places.

You think this is impossible - or not worthy? No - it is a worthy exercise, which, with practice will become as easy as planning your next meal. You must learn not to say "that is impossible". Nothing is impossible in Spirit. Remember - you are spirit - and you have no limitations.

Seek answers to your problems by asking for help. Relax and allow your mind and spirit to open to the wisdom of the universe. The answers will come into your consciousness. You may think it is your imagination - and what you see or hear is not real - but it is real. You can use this method for answering many of your problems and questions.

Learn to quieten your mind and open yourself to the Universe. Like waves, the knowledge and wisdom of the ages will wash over you. What you need will present itself for you to accept or reject. You have free will - but learn to ask and then willingly receive. You will receive what you need when you need it.

My promise to you is that you are not alone - and what you need is waiting for you to seek it out.

Peace be with you...

Joseph

Greetings My Friends,

Speak to me of Love and I will speak to you of that which make the Universe what it is. Everything is based on love. Love comes in many forms. It is a mother's love for her childrne. It is the love of a friend for another friend. It is the love of spirit for all creatures. It is the love of the all-knowing for everything.

Love has a power which is invincible. It makes the universe what it is. Seek to love everything around you and beyond you. Your love is like a warm glow which penetrates the darkest depths and the coldest corners. Learn to send your love into these places. Those who need love are all around you - your fellow humans, animals, the trees, the spirits which inhabit the universe.

Joined together as one powerful force, Love is all powerful and all-knowing. Become part of that force, and you too have no boundaries. You can achieve wonders . You can help and support where you thought it was you who needed the support.

Love is everywhere. It overcomes fear and darkness and misery. Give of your love and it will be returned a thousand-fold.

My love is with you always...

Joseph

Mini lecture # 20

Greetings my Friends,

Would you like to come and see the realms of Spirit? You do not need to die in order to visit us. It is possible in various ways to become a part of the Spirit world. You can and do visit us when you are sleeping - or meditating - or just when you allow your mind to relax and be receptive.

The spirit world is not much different from your own - there are other spirits seeking and learning, working towards the Light. It is much the same on your world - and many others - spirits all seeking wisdom and oneness.

In other ways the world of spirit is much different. It is a world of thought - rather than physical being. What you think - is. You can create your own environment - even your own lessons. There are many advantages - but there are certain lessons which can only be learnt through a physical existence.

Your spirit will spend many physical lifetimes learning different lessons. It will also spend much time in a non-physical existence. The time between physical lives is used for rest, recuperation and preparation. We are also engaged in helping those who are in a physical existence.

Sometimes we can communicate directly and the spirit in the physical is aware of our presence and influence. More frequently, they are not aware of our presence - but we can still influence their thought and feelings. We do not tell them what to do, for they have free choice, but we seek to put the thought into their mind to look at something in a different way.

It is an honourable - and sometimes difficult- task to be a guiding influence - but one which is much sought. Sometimes we were known to the person in a physical life, but more often we are simply seekers who are helping other seekers. If you are aware of our presence, we are delighted - but it is not necessary for our work to proceed. It is our aim to help you toward the Light in what ever way we can.

My wishes for your peaceful and fulfilling life are with you...

Joseph
