One night not long ago I was
driving down a dark, unlit, lonely highway I’d never travelled before. There
was one other car in sight, ahead of me and travelling slowly.
As I moved to the left to pass the
slow moving car, I felt a deep sense of dread. Like something awful was about to
happen. That dark feeling decreased as I passed the car and sped off into the
moonless night.
Soon the highway narrowed. Ahead of
me I saw a light at the place where the road seemingly ended. I somehow knew the
light I was seeing was the car I’d just passed. Mysteriously, it had passed me
without me seeing it.
The dark sense of dread descended
on me again, and fear gripped my heart.
I looked to my left and saw an
expansive, eerily lit open area just beyond the shoulder of the road.
"What should I do?" I
frantically asked myself. Suddenly my body left the car and I was flying free
over the open area. For a moment I felt the dark, deep sense of dread again–as
if some monster vulture was about to grab me out of the sky and tear me to
shreds.
As I’m sure you can tell by now,
I’m describing to you a dream. It was one of the most vivid dreams I’ve ever
had. And the dream’s ending was, literally and figuratively, a real
eye-opener.
In the last scene of this dream I
was in a room talking to two male friends. There was a wonderful sense of warmth
and comfort in the room, in the interaction among the three of us.
At that moment I realized the eerie
light I’d seen where the road seemed to end, and the vulture I’d feared was
about to devour me, were really only these two dear friends I was now warmly
engaged with.
Since I believe we all create our
own realities, including our dreams, I had to ask myself what this dream was all
about.
The meaning was clear to me as soon
as I awoke from the dream.
The day before the dream I’d been
dealing with an uncertain and uncomfortable situation involving two friends.
Change was definitely the "order of the day" here. And for a few hours
that day I’d been giving my fears free reign.
I sort of made peace with my fears
before I went to bed that night. After all, I said to myself, Joseph and I have
been teaching and preaching for years you get what you focus on. So focus on
what you want, not on what you fear.
The bottom line here is my fears
turned out to be baseless and futile. These were my friends and no harm could
possibly come to me from them. I am eternally safe and secure. Nothing can harm
me when I am connected to my soul, when I am in my joy.

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).
