Part Seven: ‘Uninvited passengers’ – and what to do about them (Conclusion)

(Author’s note – This time we conclude our continuing examination of the unseen negative forces we can all at times fall foul of without us being consciously aware of their existence. If you haven’t read the initial part of this article – Insights and Inspirations Part Five – I highly recommend you do so to bring yourself up to speed on the topics this instalment will cover before continuing here).

It felt like Groundhog Day. I had drawn the church service to a close with a short prayer and then could see – and I didn’t need to be psychic to predict that this would happen – that the path between me and the medium’s room, where a much-anticipated cup of tea and some biscuits lay waiting, had become blocked due to the sudden formation of a queue of people, eagerly waiting to ask me questions. Sigh! No rest for the wicked!  In amongst the crowd stood two teenage girls. Pale-faced. Wide-eyed. Almost, but not quite, shaking. What was my advice regarding ouija boards? they nervously asked me. Were they safe?  Were they dangerous?

I open with the Groundhog Day reference because the above was by no means a unique occurrence. I’d spoken to individuals on numerous occasions regarding this self-same subject following other services in other churches, and in each case their questions were almost identical: Ouija boards. …What did I think of them? What did I recommend regarding their use? Were they good or bad things?

This lead-in to the concluding part of our investigation into ‘uninvited passengers’ – into some of the unseen negative forces that can latch onto us and affect us adversely and what to do to make sure they don’t – begins with an appropriate subject, as we shall see, and I have a single word of advice for all and everyone regarding ouija boards:

…DON’T.

You wouldn’t leave your door open and unlocked at night, would you, then go to bed hoping you were safe in your home? Similarly, and as an analogy, on the basis of a single telephone call to someone you had never spoken to before, you wouldn’t invite that person, without knowing anything at all about them except that they ‘seemed nice’ on the phone, into your life from that point onwards …trusting them to advise you on the course of your life by them predicting for you things concerning your future that may or may not be accurate and helpful (which could also apply to the ‘facts’ they are asking you to believe as to their identity)?

You see, the first – the golden – rule in protecting yourself against unseen and uninvited passengers is: don’t ever invite them in. Many neophyte spiritual seekers make the mistake of looking for the initial ‘thrill’ of connecting with a discarnate spirit or spirits and becoming the focus of their attention and the recipient of help and guidance from ‘beyond’. In hoping to establish such a connection via a ouija board, you have no idea who might be on the other side of the open-ended ‘call’ you are attempting to make …who your unseen contact really is …what their true motives are. There is, however, one thing you can be absolutely certain of: they are not communicating with you from a high spiritual sphere or from an evolved state of being – because, if they were, they would get in touch with you ‘via the proper channels’ and would have no need of a ouija board. So, it’s a big NO to the use of this seductive little occult instrument (believe me, I’ve seen more pale and frightened faces than I care to remember, and could tell you tales regarding communication via ouija boards that would make your blood run cold). Similarly, and in seeking spiritually, never, ever, without first going through the proper channels, stare in excited anticipation at the ceiling of your living room and ask is there’s anybody there, hoping to attract into that room a highly evolved guiding influence… And never, ever ask for physical proof that a discarnate someone is around you – ask them to move something, for example – because, as a result of doing so, you just might find out that someone is there and they’re not ‘a someone’ you would want in your home… Poltergeist activity, anyone?

In using the phrase ‘going through the proper channels’ I’m referring to making a regular connection with – and, therefore, being on the receiving end of protection from – the Divine-within. Before undertaking any spiritual work or, indeed, before simply setting off on your usual physical and mental journey through each new day, it is essential that you actively align yourself with the highest and the best – with the God-within, with the Divine energy you came from and are a part of and which, if invited to do so (you have free will, remember) can and will surround you in love and Light and ensure no harm comes to you and that any potential ‘uninvited passengers’ are unable to sneak on board.

Which brings us to the related subject of motive. Your motive in seeking unseen spiritual connections also acts as your protection. You have to be honest with yourself as to what you are hoping to achieve from your ongoing journey of spiritual discovery. What do you intend to do with any spiritual knowledge you will gain as a result of setting out on that journey? Is your quest for spiritual knowledge focused solely on yourself and your needs or do you intend to also use it to help elevate others; to work to lift all humanity and all life here into the Light? Your initial, core question… one that requires a stripped-bare, honest response, has to be: why do I want to develop spiritually?

OK – the fact that you’re reading this, that you’re visiting the Joseph Communications website right now, means it’s almost certain you’re not just interested in receiving message after message from departed friends and family but are seeking a higher level of spiritual input. You are a spiritually-minded; a seeker for the right reasons… but in and of themselves these qualities are not guarantees of your protection. You also need to be aware of the potentially negative implications of your development journey as, in earnestly desiring to help all humanity, in selflessly seeking to share spiritual truths and insights and Light with as many souls as you are able to bring such uplifting energies to, you are ‘sticking your head above the parapet,’ as it were, and as a consequence of doing so can become a target for the ‘uninvited passengers’ you are reading this article in order to learn how to avoid. Not only that, but as the heart-Light you emanate grows ever brighter, ever stronger, it will become a beacon that can be easily and clearly seen by the unseen – enlightened or otherwise.

– Catch 22, as the saying goes.

So… what to do? You wish to progress spiritually and you have the right motivation but, of course, you want to remain protected as you’re doing so. The key to personal spiritual enlightenment and being able to share that knowledge with others to maximum effect whilst keeping yourself ‘passenger-free’ is to build into each of your days safety routines that become second nature to you, and to have to hand certain practical ‘fixes’ that can rapidly re-energise you and put you back on course should you find you have been adversely affected by the heaviness of the material world, the Field of human consciousness, the thoughts and actions of others, and negative unseen influences.

Here are a few procedures you might like to incorporate into your day which can help you do just that:

1. Waking Dedication. On awakening each day, make a connection with the God-within your first priority. Before you get out of bed, spend a few moments affirming that the inner power and wisdom of the ‘big two’ – the Divine-within and your Higher Self – will guide, inspire and protect you during your day ahead. Thank the Divine and your Higher Self in advance for doing so.

2. Regularly check yourself for ‘uninvited passengers’. If your mood suddenly and inexplicably nosedives at some point in your day and/or your energy levels bottom out, and this is not as a result of a physical need for food or rest, take yourself away somewhere quiet (this can be the established peaceful meditation spot in your home or the rest room if you are at work) then calmly check yourself psychically for feeders (with practice you will be able to sense and see these attached to your major chakras), dealing with any you might discover as Joseph advises in the first two parts of this article.

3. Ask yourself, ‘Is it me or is it someone else?’ Depressions, dark moods and overwhelming feelings of sadness suddenly coming over you for no apparent reason can mean that someone you have connections with is in trouble or has a problem that is pulling them down; that they are currently thinking in your direction and/or you are picking up their depleted thoughts and mood. As spirits we are each transmitters and receivers of energy and, as you progress spiritually, you will find yourself becoming increasingly sensitive to the unseen connections that can reach you and impact on your consciousness. Ask yourself in such circumstances: ‘Is it me?’ And, if you sense that it isn’t, ask the Divine-within to reveal to you the source of the negative cloud that has settled over you – ask to be shown who the person is that has made a mood-altering connection with you. As a result of asking this, you will find that someone you know either phones you, emails you or turns up on your doorstep, or that you have an overwhelming urge to contact someone you know. Once you have been contacted by or spoken to the person concerned, your mood will rapidly lift to its usual setting – meaning you have identified the source of your remotely influenced mood-crash.

4. Check yourself for ‘filaments’. The ‘psychic vampirism’ you can be subjected to and which is detailed in the preceding instalment of this article can sometimes be difficult to deal with, not because you are incapable of doing so, but because some of the souls unknowingly taking your energies may turn out to be close friends or relatives going through a hard time, or other people you care about and wish to help and strengthen. You have to be able to ‘live to fight another day’, however – you can’t help someone you care for tomorrow if they are unconsciously draining your energies today via an undetected filament of energy that is linking you to them and allowing your energy to constantly flow along it and into them. Remember to regularly look for and disconnect such energy links using the methods outlined in the last instalment. You’re not being cruel in doing this… you’re maintaining your energies at optimum levels so you can continue to help those around you from a position of strength and health.

5. Become a living mirror. There will be times when you find yourself unable to pinpoint the origins of your suddenly heavy feelings and plummeting mood and rid yourself of them. This is hardly surprising as we make countless psychic connections in our daily lives with those we know, plus connections with those we don’t know, also picking up – sensing and being affected by – underlying dominant trends in the Field of human consciousness. As an example, during the course of a single day I can be subjected to the thoughts of a great many people because of the higher-than-average profile of the Band of Light – putting itself out in public as it does via videos and articles such as this one, etc. As a result, we are recipients of both the kind thoughts of individuals who support what we do, and also the less-than-benevolent emanations of individuals who don’t agree with Joseph’s viewpoint, and who become a little ‘needled’ each time we put out something new. Those resentments reach me/us psychically and we have to be mindful and take care to keep ourselves free of them.

One way to do this is to visualise yourself as being within the silver bell jar mentioned in the last part of this article, then to ‘mirror’ its outside surface in your imagination, so that all thoughts reaching you are reflected away from you by this invisible barrier.

6. Make your home a house of mirrors. My good friend, Meria Heller, with whom I co-host the Bigger Picture radio show every two months, suggested that we can also do this with our homes, again using our imagination to first of all visualise encasing them on all sides within a ‘steel’ frame, then to place mirror surfaces, facing outwards on all sides of this frame, effectively making our homes a fortress within which we are safe and protected from all negative influences and intentions. This is a very beneficial exercise to do at night before sleeping.

7. Return to Sender. We don’t have to take on board – to accept – incoming negative influences simply because they intend to attach to us. Sometimes we will know we are under attack but won’t know where that attack is coming from. In such cases, a quick and effective remedy is to simply become quiet and say: ‘Thank you for the gift of your thoughts. However, I have no need of them on my journey, and so, with love, I send your gift back… I return it to you.’

– Negative influences… A vast subject – but I hope I’ve been able to share with you some effective methods of ridding yourself of ‘uninvited passengers’. In closing, I would wholeheartedly encourage you to ‘keep on keeping on’. Please don’t become discouraged simply because I’ve pointed out some of the pitfalls you can encounter on your journey of spiritual development. I bring them to your attention to make you aware of them, to give you the means of protecting yourself, and to help you maintain buoyancy and positivity as you continue to unfold the wonders, delights, peace, fulfilment and life-enhancing perspectives that are to be found in seeking and connecting to higher realities and the Divine-within.

Part Six: ‘Uninvited passengers’ – and what to do about them (continued…)

(Author’s note – This time we commence our continuing examination of the unseen negative forces we can all at times fall foul of without us being consciously aware of their existence and effect on us with some practical advice from Joseph concerning the ’feeders’ we began to cover last time and what you can do to rid yourself of them [taken from a far more detailed chapter on this subject in his book The Spaces Between]. If you haven’t read the initial part of this article – Insights and Inspirations Part Five – I highly recommend you do so to bring yourself up to speed on the topics this instalment will cover before continuing here).

Joseph:

“Well, first of all, we have to go back to the state of meditation. It is so important that you meditate daily and take yourself out of the ‘fast lane’ of this life and spend some time reviewing the state that you are in – not just physically but spiritually. In meditation, you come to a point where you can determine whether the thoughts that you are having and your predominant feelings and moods are solely yours, are partially yours or belong to something else. And, at that point, in daily meditation you will also be able to see with your third eye the feeders attached to you and where they are. You will sometimes feel a tightness across the throat that signifies that one of their tentacles has connected itself there; or you will feel a heaviness across the forehead, as though you are wearing a hat, which denotes that there is a connection to a feeder at that point; and there are various other points across the body.

“Having determined that you are ‘not alone’, as it were, and are providing a ‘tasty snack’ for some of these beings, you then have to deal with them. The most efficient way to deal with them is to use the action of your physical hands and arms and to see yourself pulling away the feeder from the point at which it has attached itself to you. If you reach out with your psychic senses, you will feel the width, breadth, and form of the feeder, and you can put your hands around it and then gently draw it away from the chakra. As you do so, you will normally notice that the main body of the feeder is not the only aspect of it but that there are tentacles attached to the chakra in question. Keep pulling outwards from your body until you feel that you have moved the feeder far enough away from your body so that the connection to your chakra detaches.   

“…And at that point you find yourself with hands full of feeder!

“You have got the being away from you in that it is not drawing energy anymore, but you have not dealt with it and it is still there.

“So, now hold it and use your ability, as an angelic child connected to God, to put Light into it – not the low level of vibration that it has been attached to you by and feeding from, but a higher level… White Light… God-Light. See, in your mind’s eye, the God-Light infusing that feeder and see the feeder becoming lighter and lighter and lighter. Then, there will come a point at which you will feel the weight in your hands dissipate and you will feel the feeder disappear. You will feel it disintegrate, as it were, into the White Light and it will, most certainly, be disconnected from you so that it can no longer connect to you and you are of no use to it.

“This exercise should be done at least once a week and should certainly be done whenever you feel that your mood has suddenly changed and there is no apparent reason for it – if you wake up depressed or fearful, for example, for no apparent reason and you didn’t go to sleep with that weight upon you.

“As with all physical life here the feeder has a need to exist, and remember that you have partially created it. So, there is a responsibility (even to these feeders that you could call ‘psychic ticks’ that connect to people) to restore this Earth to a balance of vibration that excludes that type of sentience being formed.

“As I have said, the feeders are a coalescing of your fears and worries and your aches and pains, but they are also a pocket of expression from the Field, which is set to negative (as we have discussed in previous books). It is as though the Field is using that analogy of the pincushion that I gave you in an earlier chapter and putting out aspects of itself that are partially sentient and partially aware. And so, you can regard feeders as little pinpoints of coalesced Field-energy that are having a high old time by connecting to you… but the irony is that they were created by you in the first place – as was the Field of consciousness. So, we are back to the project that I have given you from the beginning of these books which is the need to project Light into the Field; and also not to be disturbed if you find yourself connected to a feeder or ‘psychic tick’ but to love it away and to love the Field away through the projection of Light.

“In your dealings with people, be aware that when they react badly to you oftentimes it is because they too have unseen ‘guests’ feeding at the ‘table’ of their spiritual and psychic energy. And so, in dealing with people in a potentially explosive situation where there could be an argument or worse, before your meeting with these people or at the time when they are acting unreasonably, project enough Light to surround them and infuse their bodies with Light so that their ticks dissipate. The feeders can only connect to a low level of energy. When you are depressed… when you are fearful… when you are worried… when you are ill, the amount of Light you exhibit is shrouded, is shadowed and becomes darker and greyer – and it is that Light that allows the feeders and ticks to maintain themselves. They cannot cope with a higher level of spiritual energy.“

– I regularly check myself for such ‘attachments’ and, if I find any, deal with them as Joseph recommends above.

Now… thus far in this mini-series of articles we’ve looked at the ability of certain discarnate spirits who have not yet moved on from the earth plane to connect with souls still in the body, encouraging their ‘victims’ to indulge in physical excesses and, as a consequence of doing so, to unknowingly permit their ‘unwanted passengers’ to vicariously re-experience earthly pleasures. I’ve also examined the phenomena of ‘feeders’, semi-sentient thought forms capable of attaching themselves to a person’s energy centres and keeping their host in a depleted state of being in order to gorge themselves with ‘watered down’ spiritual energies that allow them to survive and maintain their existence…

In doing so I seem to have painted quite a bleak and scary picture of the unseen world around us, don’t I? My intention, however, has not been to frighten you but to empower you to ‘read the signs’ and take positive action should you ever feel you are under attack from the negative forces Joseph and I have described to this point. Forewarned is forearmed, and in recognising the ‘symptoms’, either in yourself or in others, from now on you will be able to reach into your ‘spiritual medical cabinet’ whenever necessary to bring out and apply appropriate and effective cures. ‘But Michael’, you are no doubt screaming in frustration by this point, Joseph has told us what to do about feeders, but you haven’t provided us with a single cure yet!’ I will shortly, Dear Reader, I promise, but I first needed to furnish you with a comprehensive list of the negative influences that can impinge on you. Talking of which, there’s one more phenomenon I must add to that list, and it’s one you will likely be very familiar with as most of us encounter it on a regular basis. Let me ask you this: How often have you begun your day bright, breezy, and upbeat only to meet up with a friend, family member or work colleague and then, following that connection, find yourself feeling absolutely dreadful… drained… tired… listless… ill? 

You’re no doubt familiar with the term ‘psychic vampire’. It’s often used to describe those individuals who, when we’re in their presence, seem to have an uncanny knack of making us feel as though we’re losing the will to live. They seem to somehow drain the life essence out of us whenever we’re with them… sometimes even when we’re only in contact with them via our phones. In fact, and almost always unknown to them, that’s exactly what they’re doing. Usually, it’s because such individuals have an urgent need for life-force energy. For a variety of reasons, they’re burning up more spiritual energy than they are personally capable of generating and maintaining, so each time they connect with you they automatically siphon off some of yours. In almost all cases they’re completely unaware consciously that they’re doing this, but as a needy spirit they take the opportunity on a subconscious level to top themselves up, using you as a convenient ‘filling station’ whenever you come into contact with them.

What to do in such circumstances?

Often these individuals are friends and family members – there’s no way we would seek to shun them, but how can we stop them leaving us feeling so depleted? Silver Star, a key communicator from Joseph’s soul group, once recommended that I place myself, using my imagination, in a transparent silver ‘bell jar’ construct which I should see forming around my head then descending around my body and tucking under my feet to provide all-round protection should I think it likely that I’m about to find myself in situations where my energy could be siphoned off, and to do this before encountering such situations or connecting with a person/persons known to have a detrimental, draining effect on my being.

We can’t always be prepared in advance, of course, as we are often dropped into circumstances we have no way of anticipating ahead of schedule, and as a result we sometimes discover – too late – that we are suddenly in the presence of a someone or ‘someones’ with a need for the spiritual energy we can unwittingly provide them with.

In such cases a damage limitation, exercise is the quickest way to re-establish our spiritual equilibrium and prevent any further ‘leakage’. The ‘bell jar’ image can, of course, be rapidly deployed around you at any stage during your interaction with an energy-drainer to stop further life force being taken from you, with you in your mind’s eye then flooding the ‘inside space’ between the interior of the jar and you at its centre with restorative gold light. Then, once your unfortunate encounter is over, you can head straight for the nearest sink. Turn on the cold-water tap, run the water with some force, and hold your wrists under the vigorous flow. You will feel life force energy streaming back into your body. Also splash/sprinkle/flick drops of water over the crown of your head, and in a downwards, cutting motion across your brow and heart centre with your fingertips whilst affirming that any connection that has been made has just been severed. As you do this also mentally run through your principal chakras and systematically close and seal each one (safely opening and closing the chakras is explained and demonstrated in my free Higher Consciousness Living course – Module 1 Part 5).

And once again at this point I’ve run out of available space. I rather suspected this involved subject would require three segments to do it justice. Next time, in the concluding part, I’ll offer and explain more techniques to help you maintain spiritual balance and to keep yourself safe from ‘unwanted passengers’ and negative unseen forces.

Thank you for your patience and I do hope you’ll join me then.

Part Five: ‘Uninvited passengers’ – and what to do about them

(Author’s note: the following was originally intended to be a one-part article, but in the writing of it it quickly became apparent that there was far too much information to shoehorn into the confines of a single piece. This, therefore, is the first part of a two-part [or will that prove to be a three-part?] article, as I owe it to you to do the subject justice and provide you with sufficient insights and techniques for your protection and wellbeing. I do hope you’ll join me next time, as the second instalment will offer practical advice on breaking links with the ‘uninvited passengers’ of the title.)

It’s a funny old physical world… Funny in that most souls, whilst here, are almost completely locked into their physicality, into that confined and limiting partial expression of what they truly are, relying totally on their five physical senses to interpret and navigate the seemingly immutable ‘reality’ they find themselves immersed in. Human beings, for the most part, choose to be either completely unaware of or, worse still, arrogantly dismissive of any suggestion that there just might be other dimensions permeating this one and (usually) existing outside the reach of their physical senses – dimensions which are nevertheless capable of impacting on them in many ways, whether they happen to believe in their existence or not.

Many of the influencers working to reach us and forge a connection with us from those vibrations are beneficial and positive, a shining example of this being the information and guidance offered by Joseph and his enlightened soul group as they endeavour, in love, to provide us with a way out of our current challenges and to reintroduce a spiritual perspective to our world. …However, just as there are positive and negative approaches to life on Earth, there are also darker aspects of non-corporeal reality that spiritual seekers need to be aware of and forearmed against, allowing them to recognise and swiftly deal with these should they attempt to impact their lives in less than helpful ways.

The current chaotic state of our world notwithstanding, indications that those unseen but highly seductive negative dimensions exist (and that we subconsciously recognise them) regularly filter down to us via the imaginings of authors and scriptwriters as ‘fictional’ themes – as staple ‘fantasy’ fare in our literature, our films and our television series, where depictions of the afterlife, of visitations by discarnate spirts, of haunted houses and disturbed locations, of magical powers, of the ‘possession’ of minds and personalities, of ‘monsters’, etc, can be safely viewed from the comfort of our armchairs through gaps in our fingers as we cover our eyes in horror whilst simultaneously seeking a thrill, an adrenalin rush, a temporary scare from our entertainment. After all, we’re only watching/reading a story …a fantasy… right? It’s frightening, yes. It’s disturbing, certainly, but it’s only fiction… a far cry from being based in fact and nothing whatsoever to do with the workings of the ‘real world’.

From a spiritual perspective, however, many of those negative imaginings have some basis in fact. No man or woman is an island. As spirit beings, as facets of the Whole, we are connected to each other, a part of each other, and as such each day of our lives each of us contributes to the collective field of human consciousness that shapes and determines our experience here by feeding back to us – surrounding us with – a construct of ‘reality’ that is based on our dominant beliefs, passions and wants. We each help to create, maintain and reinforce the global status quo via our daily vibrational donations as individuals to that field. Equally important, each of us is also the recipient of impressions from that field, and from the dimensions that lie beyond it too, and as a result we sometimes unknowingly take on board unseen discarnate ‘passengers’ as we travel through life… passengers with an agenda …passengers actively seeking to affect our mood, our energies and our ability to ‘think straight’ in specific ways.

For example, not every human spirit automatically moves on to higher spheres of consciousness following its physical death. ‘Devils’ in this life don’t suddenly become ‘Angels’ in the next, and until they can be persuaded to leave the earthly experience behind, certain individuals stubbornly refuse to do so, preferring to stay close to the pleasures and vices they have enjoyed whilst in a physical body, and discovering to their delight that they can re-experience some of those pleasures by pressing themselves against the auric fields of those who are still in physicality and who indulge in similar pursuits. Not only that, but in connecting in this manner with such incarnated souls psychically, they realise that they can persuade them to indulge in those pursuits more frequently and more intensely than they might have done before they connected with and began to influence them.

As a hypothetical case, a heavy drinker might suddenly find themselves more-than-usually drawn to their favourite tipple as a result of the promptings of an unseen ‘passenger’, and of the seductive voice of that individual repeatedly whispering in their ear: ‘Go on! You know you want to! Have another drink. You’ll feel so much better! Go on. Have that drink now…’ They don’t ‘hear’ that disembodied voice consciously, of course, but on a subconscious level it is a loud, clear and compulsive contributor to their actions and desires.

In hitching an unseen ride, such ‘passengers’ create a vicious circle of desire and action. In this hypothetical case the need for a drink becomes an increasingly dominant vibration in the person’s aura as a result of an unseen passenger’s promptings, which in turn strengthens the spirit’s ability to influence that person and to therefore relive a portion of their earthly experience – in this case the sensual ‘high’ of imbibing, by proxy, excessive amounts of alcohol (or drugs, cigarettes, and so on).

In contrast, one may exhibit no self-destructive habits or tendencies whatsoever but perhaps be subject to occasional bouts of depression, worry and stress, and because all vibrations automatically seek out, lock onto and draw towards themselves energies of a similar frequency, such energy-draining states of mind can attract discarnate spirits who are of a similar outlook, who have not yet moved on, and who become linked to us because of our current state of being, intensifying our negative experiences and making it more difficult for us to rise above them.

On a non-human level of interference and unseen influence, and returning to the theme of ‘it’s a funny old world’ for a moment, as souls seeking to gain greater spiritual awareness and understanding we need to be aware that our thoughts not only feed and influence the field of human consciousness but are also highly creative energies, with repeating negative thoughts and themes sometimes leading to the creation of semi-sentient ‘thought forms’ around us, which can affect and steer us just as effectively as the discarnate human-spirit passengers mentioned in the above paragraphs. The intent of these ‘creatures’ is to survive – and they do this by keeping you in a depleted state so that they can draw Light-energy from you at a level that they can absorb and which sustains them. And you, personally, needn’t be the creator of these pesky little tykes – if you are experiencing periods of low energy and outlook they can simply ‘hop on board’ from the ether or from some other person and seek to maintain you in that depleted state of being.

Here’s Joseph on the subject of these ‘feeders;’ as he terms them (taken from a fuller examination of the subject in his book The Spaces Between). I’ll conclude his explanation in the next part of this article, and I’ll also explore this subject further and suggest ways in which you can keep yourself protected, on track spiritually and physically, elevated vibrationally, and can avoid and/or detach ‘uninvited passengers’.

Joseph:

“Their need is to amplify your fear …to amplify your depression …to amplify your illness …to amplify your negativity …to amplify your anger. Now, in order to do those things and to exist as what they are, they have to have a source of energy.

“…And the source of energy, dear Reader, is you and people like you.

“For example, if you are depressed for any length of time – be it through illness or circumstance – then you emit a vibration at a lower level of energy than you usually do as the angelic being that you are in full health. That vibration connects to and attracts feeders of equal vibration. They are attracted to your Light – not as a fully conscious thing but as a magnetic attraction with a limited degree of sentience. They then attach themselves to you. If you were to look at these beings, you would see that some of them have tentacles and some of them appear to be like a slug that is grey or black in colour with a changing form. But, they are able to latch on to a similar vibration (as all things do) so that they can take energy from that similar vibration.

“So, as an example, in your depression you will attract one or more of these feeders – these partially-formed, semi-sentient, embryonic angelic children – and they will subsequently attach themselves to the point on your etheric body from which they can draw the most energy. That is usually one of the major chakra points, and you will find that they attach themselves to your forehead, to your throat, to your heart-centre or to your solar plexus. They will magnetically connect to you and, from that point onwards in order to draw the low level of energy that they need to maintain themselves and to survive, it is in their interest to keep you (in this example) depressed and to keep you at that lower level of energy, because a higher level of energy is of no use to them. A higher level of energy does not feed them; it is ‘above them’, so to speak, and they cannot connect to it. So, they keep you focussed on that lower level of energy so that you can maintain them and they can maintain you in that state of mind, and on and on goes the cycle.

“What to do about these beings? What to do about feeders? How do you, first of all, detect that they are there, and how do you detach yourself from them and they from you?”

Joseph’s advice on how to do this will head-up the next instalment of this article. Please join me for his concluding insights on the subject of ‘feeders’ and for further information from me regarding ‘uninvited passengers’ and what you can do about them.

Part Four: The slow but steady decline of spiritual awareness

Concept by Michael G. Reccia and R. Jane Kneen. 

One might assume that the countless material and technical advances humanity has made as it has ‘evolved’ through the ages to the present day have contributed much that is positive and vital to the wellbeing of all human souls on this planet. For example, generally speaking we are now infinitely more comfortable, better sheltered, wealthier, more able to communicate effectively across distance and to traverse that distance quickly and safely; privy to a year-round supply of a wide variety of life-sustaining and palette-pleasing foods from around the globe, and so on, than we have ever been in this current cycle of civilisation. From a spiritual standpoint, however, the intellectual and technical achievements of civilisation can also clearly be seen as the slow smotherer of spiritual consciousness and higher-consciousness-connection as the deification of the material increasingly blinds us to our Divine origins and capabilities… relentlessly distancing us from who and what we really are, clouding our true reasons for being here, denying us our rightful place in the scheme of things and ignoring our connection to all things.

To substantiate this claim, let’s hop into the ‘time machine’ and journey way back to a point in our ancient history at which modern science and academics would refer us as being ‘primitives’. ‘Primitive’ we may have been when compared to the academic ‘accomplishments’ and material opulence of the modern world, but at that time, having, in terms of the Akashic history of this world, only ‘recently’ begun to revisit the Earth as spirits in physical form following the most recent ‘Fall’ of civilisation (for a complete explanation of this cataclysmic cyclic event and its origins I would strongly recommend you refer to Joseph’s landmark book the Fall) we also, as ‘innocents abroad’ as it were, unpolluted by yet-to-unfold millennia of complexity and overthinking, happened to have a far better equipped spiritual toolbox than any 21st-century human does. We were, compared to ‘today’s model’ of the human being, infinitely more in tune with ourselves and our non-corporeal origins, with our true nature and with the natural world around us. Consider that we were capable of conscious communication with deva spirits; we acknowledged the rhythms of the Earth and lived and worked in harmony with those cycles; we established and revered sacred spaces… and community and family – the strength and value of the tribe – were recognised as vital factors that allowed us to survive and to thrive.

Crucially, there was a far more active connection to our heart-minds in that distant-past era and, as a result, to opportunities, taken by activating that built-in spiritual interface, to explore and maintain a real-time link to the Divine and to seek, obtain, trust and rely on spiritual inspiration and guidance from within. Further, and while understanding it was not the be-all-and-end-all, we embraced our physicality more consciously… our head-minds – those fight or flight computers in our skulls – being gainfully occupied by the concerns of our day-to-day survival. The head-mind had not yet appointed itself as the ruler supreme of our physical consciousness; had not yet taken over from the heart as the prime focus of our being and the prime motivator of our actions.

Next, our personal connection to the Divine, already struggling to maintain itself having been severely weakened and clouded due to the effects of the Fall, was muddied even further as organised religions became more established and grew increasingly complex and power-hungry, many of them vigorously enforcing the man-made dictate that a holy ‘go-between’ was essential in presenting the concerns and requests of the individual to the Divine. Slowly but surely individual and community-based reliance on the God-within began to wane as religions grew in influence, a percentage of them actively discouraging their members from examining – or even daring to think about – the greater mysteries for themselves, simultaneously marking out strict mental parameters for their flocks to adhere to and to be confined within, the penalty for not doing so being exclusion from their religion, from society and from heaven – and/or worse.

In relatively modern times – the past few decades up to the present – the new religion of ‘convenience’ has further distanced us from our spiritual origins, blossoming at an alarming rate during the past handful of decades from that seed first planted at the time of the industrial revolution which introduced us to a brave new world offering us commodities we previously didn’t know we needed and comforts we previously didn’t realise were lacking in our lives; a shift in core aspiration that has moved us even further away from spiritual contemplation and into an ever deeper focus on the material. The natural world and our connection to it has increasingly taken a back seat, with us concentrating instead on getting our hands on the next shiny bauble; on that must-have acquisition that promises so much yet can deliver only a sudden but temporary high – a transient rush of contentment that leaves us panting for more.

As we journey back to the here and now – today – we discover the final misstep in the process of allowing ourselves to be incrementally divorced from the spiritual. The gravest threat to maintaining that essential connection to our spiritual roots in this cycle is snapping at our heels at this very moment, with many of us completely unaware of it or choosing to ignore it as we opt for ultimate convenience and non-thinking ease in all aspects of our lives.

We shop online rather than visiting a store. So convenient. We wave our cards over readers rather than choosing to punch in our PIN numbers, themselves once regarded as a convenience when compared to those oh-so-troublesome bank notes we used to carry around and had to heft out of our pockets and wallets with great physical effort. We are willingly handing over ‘menial’ tasks, and many not-so-menial ones, such as the blessing of actually being able to think, reason and form moral opinions, to our AI systems, trusting in the unfeeling machines we have created to take the decisions big and small we would hitherto have taken for ourselves as individuals.

Unable to look away we gaze enrapt into our mobile phones and other devices day and night, ignoring the beauty and potential of the world around us… the world that is also a living, feeling spirit; the world that we are here to interact with and which, through its generosity and patience, supports and maintains our physicality…for now. We are even planning to surgically implant chips into our God-given brains to dispense entirely with the inconvenience of the decision-making process. These procedures are already being hyped and touted as ‘enhancing the human being to the next level’. Hmmm – could it possibly be, seeing as how we were designed by the Divine, that our quest to improve on the already-perfect is not only ill-advised, but also highly foolish and dangerous?

So – here we stand. We have arrived at a pivotal point in our history where, step by step, we have all but eradicated our ability to think, to examine logically, to reach out with our hearts, to consider anything greater and ‘wiser’ than ourselves. We‘ve done this willingly and naively as a global society. IF we take the final step, blending ourselves with our machines and handing over our spiritual sovereignty to them, the disconnect with our earthly raison d’être will be complete and absolute – and at that point the brutal truth is that there will no longer be any reason for us, as spirits, to incarnate here.

Humanity teeters at the edge of the precipice. The path we tread over the next few years – perhaps over the next few months – will either reestablish and reinforce our spiritual roots, leading to a reinvigorated society that has much in common with that of our ‘primitive’ ancestors, or one in which we face a Godless, and perhaps mercifully short, future as mindless worshippers of technology and materiality, unthinking slaves of convenience always choosing what is easy for us over what is good and right and harmonious and spiritually-based, permanently disconnected from our greater selves, our greater purpose and the bigger picture.

The key to ensuring this does not happen lies in keeping our heart connection alive and strong, recognising and applying a greater power, a higher energy, to our lives and having the strength and moral fortitude to say NO to and reject anything that could cause our moral compass to fail and us, as a result, to become shipwrecked on the rocky, treacherous reefs of rampant materialism and inflexible head-mind thinking.

To conclude, and to contrast with our current ‘civilised’ lack of spirituality, allow me to return you to that time when we would be regarded from today’s standpoint as ‘primitives’, and in doing so to illustrate just how advanced, how spiritually-minded we were then with a trio of short excerpts – truly beautiful words – taken from addresses given to us by the soul group member we respectfully refer to as ‘The Aboriginal Gentleman’ (featured in the book Many Voices, One Mission).

‘We understood about the ‘secret places’ of the world, and to us they were not secret because at that time we communicated with the Earth. We spoke to the Earth, and we knew there were places where you could talk to the spirits of the Earth and that the spirits of the Earth and the Earth itself would speak back … would tell us if it was happy …what was wrong with it …and what we could do to restore a balance and to ensure that energies flowed as they were supposed to flow.’

‘We were aware of the nature spirits and the great devas, and would commune with them. We would ask them if they would take care of our crops and our animals. They would, when we were not directly speaking to them in the sacred places, talk to us through our animals and inform us of anything they wished to communicate to us. So, it was quite natural for us to commune with the planet and with the planetary forces that sustained the planet in a state of equilibrium.’

‘…And nature was our byword and the yardstick by which we lived because everything we did was designed not to disturb nature – not to disturb the natural path of the evolving planet that would sing to us. And the devas would sing to us and show us, in the dreamtime, a picture of the destiny of the Earth and of the evolution of the planet, the solar system and the heavens.’

…I think you’ll agree it’s high time we worked together to regain so much that we have lost … high time we re-established a spiritual approach to our lives, to each other and to our world.

Part Three: No such thing as a dumb animal

On my daily stroll I regularly encounter a number of dog walkers – all shapes and sizes (the dogs, not the owners). Every so often a cat will also cross my path, either greeting me with mock friendship prior to unsheathing its claws and attacking my ankles or, with disdain, scooting away over the nearest wall.

For many of us dogs and cats are our only ongoing connection with the animal kingdom. Our pets notwithstanding, we tend for the most part to forget that our planet is not the exclusive domain of human beings and that we share our world with countless other expressions of life. Many humans consider themselves to be occupying the uppermost branches of the evolutionary tree, feeling that other forms of life, while perhaps passingly appreciated for their beauty, grace, agility and so on, are beneath us on all counts: intellectually, emotionally, spiritually.

We couldn’t be more wrong.

Animal forms come under the stewardship of deva spirits, those behind-the-scenes architects of our world that are the planners and bringers into being of the landscapes against which we play out our lives here. Devas are responsible for the existence of the animal kingdom, specific devas providing the energies that manifest and maintain specific non-human forms of life on this planet. As such, the animal forms under their guidance and imbued with their energies have far greater intelligence, empathy, understanding and capability than we give them credit for. I could share with you many incidents drawn from personal experience that add weight to the above sentence – far too many to shoehorn into the length of this article. I will however, attempt to recount within its limits just a handful of the most significant examples to back up my earlier pronouncements.

Take the case of my lovely cat Penny. She came into my life at a time when I was wading through a two-year period of ongoing emotional trauma and was finding it challenging to manage my life. Throughout this demanding time Penny was a constant companion whenever I was at home, sitting on my knee like a dog, snuggling her head into my chest and offering me a constant stream of affection. One evening, at a time when my problems were at last beginning to clear and I had all but recovered in health and confidence, Penny hopped onto my lap and I heard a voice in my head utter the single word: ‘Goodbye’. She then immediately jumped down and went to the door to be let out. The next morning she hadn’t returned home… and later that day, while searching, we came across her unmarked body lying by the side of the road. She had known her time with me was over, and that her mission was accomplished, and she had said farewell – letting me know she was about to leave.

Staying with the subject of cats: following the intense moment which had seen my spiritual mentor Joan lose her mother, she and her best friend Betty found themselves sitting silently in her front room as they attempted to come to terms with their grief. Joan had two cats, and as the ladies sat there both felines entered the room together. They moved as one to the centre of the room then parted, one making straight for Joan, the other for Betty. Each then showed their chosen human a huge amount of affection and concern for a few minutes, placing a paw on each side of the ladies’ necks and gazing into their eyes compassionately. Next, as if by some unseen signal, both cats simultaneously jumped down, passed each other as they again crossed the room, then went to the lady opposite the one they had just been comforting, jumping up to share their affections with this new focus of their compassion and understanding. Some minutes later they simultaneously leapt down and walked out through the door together.

…A lady called me one day in my capacity as a medium. She told me she owned stables and that one of her horses was currently very depressed. Could I possibly come out to talk to and listen to her, please? I did so, and the horse, as a clear voice in my head, told me amongst other things that she had an equine companion she had previously met up with daily but was currently no longer taken to see, and that she had a favourite tree she used to be taken to stand under – a place where she felt secure and peaceful – somewhere she could think clearly. These trips had also stopped for some reason. I related all this to her owner and she confirmed the information as fact, taking immediate steps to resolve the situation.

When Jane and I first became a couple, she owned a rascally and mischievous spaniel named Molly, who exhibited human levels of intelligence and comprehension with shocking frequency. On one occasion Molly insisted on behaving badly and making noise while I was attempting to receive information from the Big Indian, a key member of Joseph’s soul group. He turned his attention to her and sternly commanded her to leave the room. She did so immediately, hiding in the pantry and having to be coaxed out by us once this loving but no-nonsense visiting spirit had concluded his communication and left.

On another occasion I felt I should try to connect with Molly spirit-to-spirit in an attempt to understand what made her so darned awkward all the time. She let me place my hands on her head and immediately I did so she, as a spirit, began to talk to me psychically. She described the kennels she had been raised in as a puppy with their ‘big iron gates’ (later confirmed by Jane); said she had been brought up with Labradors (Jane informed me that the kennels in question also bred Labrador puppies); told me she didn’t like the breeder (Jane subsequently revealed she didn’t take to her either); that she missed her mother; that her name was ‘all right’ but she preferred Polly to Molly, and said she was simply being playful on those occasions when we considered her behaviour to be deliberately anti-social.

My Cairn terrier Vicky contracted diabetes and was becoming increasingly sick despite her daily injections. It became apparent that she was suffering greatly and so I asked her psychically whether she wanted to go home. ‘Yes,’ she replied, a heart-breaking answer but it would have been cruel and selfish to cling on to her. On the night following her passing I was abruptly woken up by her distinctive barks – three of them to let me know she was perfectly all right.

Joseph, of course, is far more capable of explaining things from a spiritual perspective than I am. Let’s conclude, therefore, by considering the significance, stature and role of animals in our world – and our negative influence on them – from the soul group’s viewpoint. Here’s Joseph from the book Trance Mission, addressing the following question from a member of the audience: What is the role of the animals in our evolution?

Joseph: Poor, innocent, lovely, wonderful animal forms!

…Poor, innocent, wonderful, lovely animal forms!

The animal forms are created by angelic beings of a different nature to mankind. They are created by devas – by great, wonderful nature spirits. And just as you are a part of a group soul – in other words you are part of a family of souls that work together with certain purposes in mind to elevate themselves and others – devas become animal forms; they extend themselves into consciousness expressed through animal forms.

The animal forms are as relevant as you are. Each form of nature is as relevant and as important to God as you are. But, again, an effect of the Fall is for mankind to believe that they are the pinnacle of evolution in physical matter.

Not so!

As a result of the Fall you ignore at best – you dominate and cause cruelty to at worst – the animal kingdom. They have a right to be here too because they bring back to the devas that they are part of evolution, so that the devas evolve, move on, move upwards, create new forms. It is a cycle: the consciousness goes back; it brings with it experience; the consciousness is brought forth into new forms and new experiences. That is how things should be.

So, from the point of view of the animal kingdom, they are existing on this planet as they should. But I should qualify and tune that a little because there are animals, are there not, that are violent? There are animals that feed on other animals, and you look at the animal kingdom and say: ‘Why is there such violence? Why do they have to kill each other?’ It is not in order to survive. They are acting and have acted for years and millennia on the instructions of the Field that seeks always more discord and more violence; on the instructions of the Field that say: ‘You have not enough power. You have not enough energy. You need to take it from that form, from this form …or you will not survive.’ And so we – mankind – through our thoughts, through the Field, have harnessed, shackled animals with the need to survive by preying on other animals. We have polluted their thought-processes whilst they are on Earth.

Originally there was a harmonious blend between all physical animal forms, including yourselves, because originally you did not need to kill to eat. You did not need to eat! You simply needed to recognise and take in and give out energy. In the harmonious time before the Fall you took in energy from the Godhead, you sent it out from your heart-centre and you created. There was energy for all because the misconception that you were separate from God hadn’t yet taken place. And the animal forms that were part of Creation and were as loved as you are, were free to come and go and exist without violence, without preying on each other.

So, the animals are extremely important but I have to say to you that everything that is of nature in your world is extremely important. God does not say: ‘This blade of grass is more important than a human being. This human being is more important than this tiger. This tiger is a bit more important than this penguin.’ God sees you as the Whole of Creation that you are. God sees you as parts of Himself – integral parts of Himself. There is only one organism in this room tonight. There is only one organism in this town tonight. There is only one organism in this country here tonight. There is only one organism in this continent here tonight. There is only one organism around the globe tonight – including the globe itself…

…GOD!

So…dumb animals? Not a bit of it. Their actions speak volumes… as indeed they are capable of doing if we know how to listen. They have an equal right to be here; they are an equal expression of Creation, and their interactions with us prove them to be, in many cases, far more loving, giving, selfless, caring, spiritually knowledgeable beings than certain of the human souls currently walking this Earth.

I, for one, am immensely grateful for their presence and innocence, and often remind myself that they have much to teach me.

A new series examining aspects of spiritual life you may not have considered before.

Part Two: You Are Not A Fixed Point in Time and Space

A curious opening statement from the viewpoint of a seemingly material existence – but not so strange when one considers that the physical manifestation so many of us suppose to be the totality and encapsulation of ourselves is only a small part of what we, in greater reality, actually are.

In the course of my experiences over forty-plus years spent working as a medium I have been made aware on numerous occasions of the fact that our human form – this seemingly finite and confined assembly of flesh and blood we consider to be ‘ourselves’ – is simply a convenient, temporary housing for the spirit being we really are, and that that spirit is not as inextricably tied into our physicality as we might think it is. Allow me to present a little evidence to support this claim by way of just a few examples taken from my personal history and that of my spiritual mentor, Joan…

One: Many years ago, while in the neophyte stage of my spiritual development, I attended a ‘closed circle’ meeting every Tuesday evening which was led by a medium friend of mine – Bruce – and which comprised of a group of six people that included myself and Joan, my spiritual teacher. I have to admit that this event, for reasons too complex to explain here (but which I intend to cover at some point in the future as they, too, offer valuable insights regarding spiritual progress and awareness), could be quite a hit and miss affair, and on the occasions when, at best, nothing in particular appeared to be happening, Joan and myself would take ourselves off into a deep meditation with the intention of putting our hour spent in the circle to some constructive use. A couple of days after one such session had taken place Joan went to visit a friend who was hospitalised at that time. The lady in question seemed quite surprised to see her but said she was happy that she had come to visit her again so soon.

‘So soon?’ queried Joan.

‘Yes,’ said the lady. ‘You visited me just the other night, after all… Tuesday, I believe.’

‘I can’t have done,’ Joan replied gently. ‘I have an appointment every Tuesday evening.’

‘Oh, yes, I’m quite sure of the day,’ said the lady. ‘And you brought a friend with you. That nice young man with the black curly hair and the beard.’

I remember having ‘blanked out’ during the circle that week whilst meditating, and during that ‘gap’ in my everyday consciousness Joan and myself had gone ‘walkabout’ in our astral bodies and decided to visit Joan’s friend in hospital, a lady who had never met me physically yet subsequently described me in detail, placing our visit at the exact time we had been meditating in the circle.

Two: I was having a haircut. The young lady snipping my curls (Where on earth did they subsequently disappear to?) seemed distant and troubled, so I initially remained silent, refraining from the usual light banter one traditionally indulges in on such occasions. Suddenly I became aware of a young man – seemingly a discarnate spirit – standing next to her and wishing to speak to me. He explained that he was in a hospital bed, showed me the room where that bed was located, then went on to explain that my hairdresser regularly visited him there. He told me she held his hand and talked to him in a specific way whenever she visited him, informed me of his preference in music, and also said he was able to travel at times and had seen and spoken to his departed grandfather, who had told him it was not yet time for him to pass over.

The young man was quite insistent that I pass on everything he had said to the young lady attempting to make me look respectable… and I eventually bit the bullet and did so. She looked shocked, explaining that her boyfriend had recently been in a motorcycle accident and was currently in a coma at a local hospital, with her regularly visiting him. She confirmed his tastes in music, the special way she held his hand when visiting him… in fact, all that he had told me about himself and his situation.

Checking in a few weeks later I discovered that the young man had made a complete recovery since my last visit. It was not, as his grandfather had advised, his time to leave the earth, but his spirit had been able to leave his body, visit his girlfriend unseen, talk to me and also interact with spirits from higher vibrations of reality while his physical body lay unmoving and in a coma in a hospital bed.

Three: We are able to travel at night during our sleep time… around the world and to higher dimensions as the spirits we really are, freed temporarily from our bodies – if, that is, we haven’t locked ourselves into those bodies as a result of excesses: too much food, too much drink, too much work, too much worry… or as a consequence of ill health. We don’t always remember having done so but travel we do.

On many occasions in the past I have been called upon to assist in ‘rescue work’ – working alongside my spiritual mentor Joan to accompany, and/or talk to some departed soul or souls with a view to persuading them to move onwards into the spiritual realms and to leave their deceased physicality behind – something which, for a variety of reasons, they are often reluctant to do. Sometimes I would return to my sleep and experience a total recall of the events of the previous night upon waking (verified, when talking to Joan, by her recalling exactly the same events). Sometimes I would simply discover there was a ‘hole’ in my memory of the night before – a ‘gap’ indicating that my consciousness had been elsewhere for a portion of the night. On one particular occasion Jane physically witnessed my return from such an ‘outing’, seeing me as a solid, physical being enter the bedroom, cross the floor and get into bed beside her, despite my earthly body already lying next to her in bed asleep at the time.

Then there was the occasion when I was staying with my grandparents as a child, sleeping in a big bed next to my grandfather at night. One night I witnessed him, in his astral form, against the backdrop of a blaze of white light, float in through the door, move towards the bed and reach out for me, realising, as I cried out in shock at this super-real vision, that he was already in bed in physical form next to me.

Let’s end this handful of examples with an amusing tale concerning Joan, who, as a naturally curious and inquisitive person, would often take herself off in astral form during spiritualist services, particularly if she felt the medium holding the service was ’below par’. On one particular afternoon she moved out through the wall of the church she was visiting and found herself in the house next door, first examining ornaments on the mantlepiece in the living room, then turning to discover she was standing next to an elderly gentleman who was soaking himself in a tin bath in front of the fire. Sensing, but not seeing, her presence he shivered involuntarily as though someone had ‘walked over his grave’, and at that point the Big Indian, a key member of Joseph’s soul group, who was a guiding influence in Joan’s life as he continues to be in mine, stood in front of her, folded his arms and looked at her with the sternest of expressions. Embarrassed, she moved back through the wall and into her physical body, suitably chastened for having gone where she really shouldn’t have.

The point of the above recollections… and of this article?

To convey to you the fact that you are not the fixed and locked-in point in time and space you probably consider yourself to be.

That there is far more to you.

That your experience on earth is a fragment of a much bigger picture, and that ‘time’ and ‘space’ are not the confining, rigid concepts they appear to be.

Certainly, your physical body and mind represent ‘You Central’ on earth, but every second you are here, connected to that physical and mental manifestation of yourself, you remain a spiritual being. As such you are capable of – at times when the clamour of this world has been sidestepped or quietened by you, such as when you are asleep or in a suitable peaceful state of contemplation – tuning into your greater consciousness… that more complete expression of you capable of accessing knowledge and guidance that can and will help you to successfully and constructively navigate your journey through this life (and understand your true reasons for being here).

Should you wish to further examine the concepts offered by this article, safe connection to your greater consciousness, and to the Divine guidance within you, is humbly offered via my free Higher Consciousness Living (thejosephhub.com), all modules and videos of which can be found on The Joseph Hub – Your Online Resource For Spiritual Guidance & Development.

I’ll be delighted if you decide to join me, via the course, for the unfolding journey of self-discovery, personal freedom and limitless possibilities we can take together.
