"Do you always need to be so negative and morbid?
"Can't you ever share a positive, uplifting, spirit
empowering message to help us feel joy in our day?
"There are so many sad and depressing, doom and gloom
messages out there, generated by the dark. Why do you have to
add to them?
"Who wants to read something like this when we are all
just barely hanging in here, waiting for the ascension and
divine changes. Praying, and hoping we will be here to
experience the wondrousness to come. How does it help anyone to
read about death. Who cares???
"I mean really, come on, think about it John!!!"
I'll assume the letter writer is male -- he didn't give me a
name. (I advise against that, as I'm inclined to ignore folks who
won't identify themselves. But I made an exception in this case.)
Apparently he was more upset by Chief Joseph's comments than
mine. (By the way, I do not censor Chief Joseph's words. I
just give you what I get.)
I find it strange this person should ask if we ". . . always
need to be so negative and morbid?" I wondered if he'd even
read the same article all the others had.
Over the years people have consistently commented that Chief
Joseph's messages are so joyful and uplifting. However, we certainly
have our critics. When you put yourself out to the public, you're
not going to please all the people all the time. But the critics are
a small minority of our readers. And they don't usually stick around
very long.
In my opinion, Chief Joseph's messages can sometimes be stern,
but at the same time also uplifting, loving, and positive. Of
course, I'm a bit biased.
Enough from me. I'll let Chief Joseph respond to this person now.
(As a footnote here, I did not expect Joseph to go on as long as
they did in what follows. This is the longest Joseph message I can
remember in recent years, and it took me by surprise.)
Here's Chief Joseph.
Chief
Joseph
As John said, we have our critics. Even those who've faithfully
followed us for years don't always agree with us. That is as it
should be.
We are not here, friends, to convince you our way is the only
way. We have always said if anything we say does not resonate with
you, then reject it. The only "right" for you is what
feels good to you, not what anyone else says.
You certainly have many teachers out there today, all of them of
good intent. But you will not be drawn to all of them. Be choosy --
follow only those you feel a bond with.
Ultimately, of course -- and we've also said this for years --
your own inner guidance is your absolute highest and best authority,
bar none -- including Chief Joseph.
You are your own saviors. Period!
When you get that, you won't be, as our letter writer put it,
"just barely hanging in here, waiting for the ascension and
divine changes. Praying, and hoping we will be here to experience
the wondrousness to come."
The wondrousness, the time you've been waiting for is now.
The savior, the one you've been waiting for is you.
So many of you have been waiting for 2012, the so-called
"ascension." If you're doing that, you've already
"missed the boat."
Nothing is going to happen in 2012, except 2013 will follow it.
You are already "ascending," as you call it. You have
been ascending for years. Day by day, you're growing and moving into
the higher vibrations, the new energies. You're doing that right
now, as you read these words.
No one is coming to save you. You don't need to be saved. All you
"need" is to remember and acknowledge who you are -- God
in human form.
It's time to reclaim your power, to take full responsibility for
your lives. It's time to begin finding more joy, pleasure, and
passion in your lives. In so doing, you will find yourselves
"ascending" into the higher frequencies, the dimensions
from which we speak to you.
The veil is growing thinner. You've already begun to ascend. What
you call "death" is simply another, and inevitable, step
on your eternal journey of joy and growth. Death is not something to
be dreaded or feared. It's a natural part of your journey. You have
experienced death many times, and it's always been a joyful
experience.
All is well, friends. Take full responsibility for your lives,
for you do create your own realities. The foundation of your being
is freedom. You are free to create your lives as you see fit.
Enjoy your freedom. Be your own "savior." Love
yourselves and all others without limit. You're all interconnected.
Put aside your petty differences (and they're all
petty). There is no good or evil. There is only experience, only
consciousness.
When you see that as clearly as we do, when you love yourselves
as we love you, you will have ascended.
