A subscriber recently sent us some questions
about aging, in response to our April 24 newsletter article, How Old Are You?
Here is her letter:
"I'm wondering something in response to
the message about accepting or rather, not accepting, the labels that society
likes to put on people, namely aging. I totally agree with you about this.
"I'm constantly asked if my daughter and
I are sisters. She's 18 and I'm 43. I love watching people's mouths drop open
when they find out that I'm a single mother of four with my oldest being 21. God
has blessed me with youth and beauty and that's just the way I like it. I like
to think I'm ‘youthing,’ not aging.
"My question, that I've pondered for
many years is, has ‘society’ labeled the sun as damaging and bad for us? I
believe that we get ‘divine information’ from the sun. I feel the sun is a
great thing. I know how much happier I am when it's sunny as opposed to cloudy.
"I've also read that the incidence of
skin cancer has actually gone up since the popularity of sunblocks and
sunscreens and that skin cancer is actually highest among office workers. Light,
Medicine of the Future by Jacob Lieberman . . . is a book written to expose the
healthful benefits of the sun and the myth of its dangers.
"I live in Phoenix, which has the second
highest incidence of skin cancer in the world. I'm not quite sure what to
believe about the sun and damage.
"So I'd like to know what Chief Joseph
has to say about our ‘all-conscious sun.’
"Thank you . . . ."
Here’s Joseph.
Chief Joseph
You have become a
society of extremes. In your modern world many, if not most, of you work inside
your human-made buildings. You’re living almost like moles, with artificial
light your primary illumination. You spend most of your waking hours in this
artificial light.
And then when you are freed,
temporarily or permanently, from your sunless environments, you become "sun
worshipers." And you carry that also to extremes.
There is little true balance in
your lives, at least in regard to the natural cycles of light and darkness. And
they are natural cycles. But most of you immerse yourselves in an unbalanced way
in light (whether artificial or natural), then darkness, then light, then . . .
and on and on.
The sun is not your
enemy. Nor are your bodies which often become "sun-burned." The sun is
the source of life, physical life at least, for your planet. And hence, it is
also the source of physical life for your bodies. To your planet the sun is the
rough equivalent of what your soul is to you.
The sun cannot harm you or kill
you, although your society would have you believe otherwise. And most of you
accept your society’s pronouncements on this, and usually without question. So
there is a strong stream of resistance set up in you.
You are drawn naturally to the
light, to the sun. And yet you believe the sun is not good for you. Or at least
for your physical bodies. And so that resistance, that disharmony creates
imbalances in your physical bodies. Those imbalances manifest in myriad ways,
skin cancer for one.
Yet it is not the sun which causes
the skin cancer. It is your belief in the power of the sun to debilitate and
sicken you. Instead of seeing the sun as the life-giving, healing power that it
is, you see it as a necessary evil.
So the sun has become, in your
human eyes, your life-giver and your killer. Do you see the contradiction? It
cannot be both. So most of you choose to make it your killer.
But the true killer is not the sun.
It is your belief in dis-ease.
The sun can help you heal
yourselves if you will see it for what it truly is–the giver of life.

Since 1992, John Cali has been communicating with a
non-physical entity called Joseph. 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 state of Oregon in the northwestern USA. These messages are a
blend of information from Joseph, other spirits in the "Joseph group,"
and John.
John can be reached by email here
or through their website (http://www.greatwesternpublishing.org).
Private readings with Chief Joseph are available here: http://www.greatwesternpublishing.org/readings.html
