Since Valentine’s Day will be here in less than a week, I thought it’d be
a good idea to talk about love in this newsletter.
Many years ago, Joseph defined love this way:
"The choice to see the divinity in all beings."
At the time that didn’t make much sense to me. In fact, it made almost no
sense. But over the years I’ve come to see the wisdom and the power in that
definition.
The very word, "love," often conjures up so many confusing and
conflicting images and feelings in our human minds. Especially in the seemingly
chaotic and trying times our planet is experiencing today.
So I asked Joseph to revisit that earlier definition of love from so long
ago.
Chief Joseph
We have often used the term "All That
Is" to mean what many of you call God -- Goddess -- Great Spirit -- etc. We
prefer the term "All That Is" because it really says it all.
Whatever word or image you have of that divine
creative energy, it doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that energy
created every being, the entire universe, and every minute particle of that
universe.
And that divine creative energy is part of -- is
the essence of -- everything that exists, has ever existed, or will ever exist.
In other words, all that is.
God is all that is. It’s that simple.
God is you. God is your beloved family. God is
your friends. God is your enemies. God is your pets. God is the animals of the
world. God is the plants growing in your garden. God is the food you eat. God is
the clothes you wear. God is the country you live in. God is the countries you
are at war with. God is the mountains, the hills, the valleys, the deserts, the
oceans. God is the sun, the moon, the stars.
God is all that is and All That Is.
If you acknowledge the truth of what we’ve
just said, then you must indeed have reverence for all life -- yours and those
of other human beings. And all other animal beings. All plant beings. And your
Mother Earth and the planets, stars, galaxies surrounding your beloved Mother.
Even so-called "inanimate" objects have their roots and their sacred
beginnings in All That Is, in God.
If you see all creation in this way, friends,
you will respect and revere all life. When you acknowledge the value, the
sacredness of all life, of all beings, you have truly touched the hand of God.
At that moment of touching the hand of God you
will know in your heart, in the very depths of your being and your soul, what it
is to truly love.
Love is all there is. Love is all that is. Love
is All That Is.
When you see that bright golden divine spark in
all life, when you choose to see the divinity in all beings, you will have come
home.
That, friends, is the key to all you long
for -- peace on earth, peace in your hearts. The peace that surpasses all human
understanding.

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
Private readings with Chief Joseph are available here: http://www.greatwesternpublishing.org/readings.html
