About Us

 

All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief.

They are all brothers.

The Earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.

Chief Joseph

How It Started

On May 24, 1992, as the sun broke through the misty silvery stillness of the California mountains, a familiar figure appeared to me. He identified himself as Chief Joseph. He was familiar because he'd been lingering on the periphery of my awareness for six years. But I never knew who he was. Now I did.

In one of his many physical lifetimes, this spirit was incarnated as the legendary Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Tribe in what is now the U.S. state of Oregon.

Chief Joseph lived from about 1840 until September 21, 1904. During the 1877 Nez Perce War and until his death, Joseph was one of the tribe's prominent leaders. An eloquent speaker and statesman, he was a strong advocate of American Indian rights, the equality of all people, and deep reverence for our Mother Earth and all her inhabitants.

In May 1992, I was experiencing some pretty hefty challenges in my personal and spiritual life. (Or, to use Joseph's definition of challenges, opportunities for remembering who I am.) He offered to help me. I said, "Sure, I can use all the help I can get!"

And so it began. Joseph and I continued like that, one-on-one, for several years. We dealt mostly with my personal issues. We also worked privately with a small circle of close friends. But we did nothing publicly.

Then, toward the end of 1995, Joseph asked if I'd consider channeling publicly for others, especially since it had been so helpful to me. I said, "No, I don't think so." But one thing led to another. And, ultimately, Joseph prevailed. So we started doing private sessions for others outside my small circle.

When I first started communicating with Joseph, I was a real novice at that sort of thing. And I was sometimes uneasy when I channeled him.

But as I became more comfortable in my own abilities and in the abilities of Spirit, my powers of communication (or channeling) became greater. The more I channeled Joseph, the more I discovered I was able to access the higher aspects of this entity I'd known as Chief Joseph. I was able to reach into what you might call the "Joseph soul group," a group of spirits who are clearly a highly evolved and powerful family of teachers.

Today I see myself as a "point of focus," for this evolved group we now call simply "Joseph" or "Chief Joseph." The group certainly includes the wise being we know as the spirit of the historical Chief Joseph, and I consider him the "spokesman" for the group. But now the group also includes other spirit and angelic beings.

Occasionally during our channeling, especially in private readings, Joseph will use the "I" or "me." I’ve come to realize that is when the single spirit of Chief Joseph is speaking. Most often, however, Joseph uses "we" or "us," signifying it's the group speaking, not just Chief Joseph.

In 1996 we started publishing Sentinels of the Sky Newsletter: Conversations With Chief Joseph and John Cali, now known as the Chief Joseph Newsletter.

I can't say it was an easy journey in the beginning. But it was fun and fulfilling, and it still is. More importantly, though, this journey has brought many people (including me) closer to remembering who we really are, and why we are here. It's helped us feel better about being human. And it's helped us know we are spirit beings in human form, and to rejoice in that knowing.
