Joseph speaks: The subject of today’s talk is peace.
Peace is something that all nations aspire to - at least in words - and it is something that individuals also aspire to:
‘I wish I could have peace in my life.’
‘If only I had a little peace I would feel better.’
‘Why can’t we live in peace?’ ‘
‘Why can’t there be peace on Earth?’
There is no peace on Earth because you do not understand the concept of peace.
Peace is a continuous state and not something that is simply a resolution to your current problems; peace is a knowledge of God; a state of harmonious vibration.
The reason you cannot find peace is because you wish there to be conditional peace. You wish there to be a certain outcome of a war, for example, so that certain political views, certain power structures, are upheld. I am now going to say something to you which will be controversial at very least: in all of your wars, at the end of each of your wars, there has never truly been peace. There has been a cessation of hostilities but no peace because, if there had truly been peace there would be no further wars.
Peace is an unconditional state of rest. It is a state of rest of aggression, if you like, a state of rest of hostilities, a state of rest of domination, a state of rest of control of others. It is a relinquishing of all of these things. And peace has a vibrational value - peace exists as a state of non-aggressive attraction between spiritual beings.
I had better explain that.
Harmony is peace and peace is a state of recognition within souls of themselves in others - of themselves as God in others.
Once you recognise yourself in others, how can you destroy others? How can you control others? How can you seek to impose your views on others against their will? At the point at which you connect with God there is a universal vibration, it is a vibration that runs through you and through everything - you are part of the universal sea of consciousness. The state of peace is experienced when you operate from that core of oneness from God and extend yourself outwards into your daily lives from that oneness with God. Peace cannot really occur on material and physical levels, at least not until you re-recognise your dependence on God.
Peace is a state of knowing, peace is a state of being and, if you could see the vibrations of peace, you would see a light – rather like a sea of light - that is not buffeted but is calm; a sea that is unaffected by storms or tides and is still like a millpond - a quiet sea of light. That is the condition of peace and that condition, that vibration, is a nourishing vibration. When souls tune into it, tap into it, it feeds them. It is a vibration that does no harm, it is a vibration that reacts with the vibrations of the individual soul and brings a state of wellbeing to them. It nourishes the molecules of the spirit it connects with. It also brings a level of harmony to the mental state of that spirit. The vibration of peace is not static but calm, without turmoil, without eddies, swirls and tides.
When a spirit is incarnated into the flesh the effects of the Field on that spirit create, within that spirit’s perception, discord. A spirit being born today, for example, is being born into the field of consciousness that has existed for millions of years and the state of the Field at the moment is (as I have said previously) set to negativity, set to violence and aggression. When the soul is incarnated into the Field initially it is at peace; the vibration within it is that calm vibration from God, that harmony that brings with it health and wellbeing and intuition and a sense of purpose. Immediately the child is born into this world it is set upon, as it were, by discordant vibrations. Consider what happens to a baby as it is brought into this world. It is brought into this world by a shock, by a slap. Its first experience of this place is of pain and of breathing in a lungful of air and of crying. Infants are not brought into this world in a happy state; they are introduced to this level of illusion through violence. And there is sown within them, as they sleep peacefully after having been brought into this world by violence, a growing discord which changes the vibration of peace which is their natural state.
Then, as they grow older and more experienced on this level, they are beset by other problems. They are beset by those who would (as I said previously) oppress them. They find that the world is divided into factions: religious factions, political factions; they discover that there are souls who will exert violence in order to get what they want, that there are perversions of the soul that cause souls to act in a very base way. And all these aspects of life on Earth within the illusion of the Field gradually mask and change the vibration of peace which is the rest-state of the soul.
Each soul on Earth knows within itself at God–level that it requires peace, that it requires to get back to that state of bliss, that state of total non-worry, that state of total calm that it initially brings with it to the Earth plane - and so it struggles to look for and to manifest that state of vibration on a physical level. We are back to: ‘I want peace.’ ‘I need peace.’ ‘We need peace on Earth.’ ‘This war should end in peace.’ but your peace on Earth (whether it is personal or global or national) is conditional. It is peace ‘as long as you behave in the way I want you to behave’; it is peace ‘as long as I am in certain conditions, have certain securities, have certain affections.’ So your concept of peace is always conditional, it is ‘as long as the right side wins’, it is ‘as long as someone shuts up and doesn’t cause me any more problems.’ It is always conditional, yet peace on a God-level is a state that does not have conditions attached to it - its only ‘condition’ is that you tune into it, as with other things spiritual.
Peace will never be found on Earth until you find the peace within.
In finding the peace within, in re-resonating with that birth-vibration, you cannot be at odds with anyone because, when you link into that peace-vibration, you discover that everyone else has it within themselves; that you are, in fact, fighting yourself if you want a certain outcome in a war, that you are fighting yourself if you want a certain outcome within a family unit. You have to get back to recognising the peace within.
In this book I talk a lot about meditation, about becoming quiet, becoming peaceful, because this is the only way to change things on your level of consciousness. Only by seeking all the answers inside can you project them outside and into the field to generate enough Light into the Field to change its inherent vibrations, which at the moment are non-peaceful, which at the moment are self-seeking, which at the moment are designed to, from cradle to grave, promote unrest within the individual and within the group consciousness on Earth so that all souls are dependent on the Field. The Field seeks the attention of individuals and the group consciousness to maintain itself. The Field has developed an ego and that ego is a negative vibration. And so you are slaves to the Field whilst you are in it, excepting those souls who have found peace and God within themselves… and those souls feel displaced because they know that their natural state is not the state of the Field they have been born into.
The only way to discover peace, to create peace on Earth, is not to create it in yourself (because it already exists within yourself) but to rediscover it within yourself, and the key to finding peace within yourself is through letting go. In those moments when you sit quietly you will find that you bring into your meditations all the cares of your day, all the cares of your life: ‘I am worried about my health, I am worried about my finances, I am worried about my family members, I am worried about my house, I am worried about so many things’ …and all these worries are projected onto you by the Field so that you maintain the Field in its current state. This, I hope, explains why, when someone is working spiritually, it seems such a difficult task, because the Field reacts against that which is different, that which is alien to it, that which threatens its existence in its current form. So immediately you sit (until you are trained… until you have trained yourself) you will find that you have distractions, that you have worries.
If you are ever to reach the field of peace that is within you and to project that peace outwards into the greater Field – the physical illusion - you have to get rid of the worries of the day, you have to let them go. There are many ways of doing this but perhaps the easiest is to leave them, in your imagination, outside the ‘door to your meditation chamber’. As you enter into your meditation, say to yourself: ‘Well, I am leaving all my worries outside of myself. I am hanging them on a peg by the door, and if I choose to take them up again when I come out of my mediation I will do so. … But maybe I won’t.’ (Hopefully, you won’t.) Leave them ‘in a bag by the door’ so that, as you become quiet, you are not pulling into your meditation the worries that cause you so many distractions on a physical and mental level. Then, when you have left your worries ‘by the door’, you are in a fit state to seek peace.
It matters not what you visualise: you may see yourself under a moon in a wood, or on a seashore, or nowhere at all - perhaps just floating in Light. Within that visual concept you build in your meditation you now have to seek the peace of God, and the easiest way to connect with the peace of God is, having let go of your worries (having left them ‘by the door’ as you came into your meditation chamber of the imagination) to also let go of yourself. What a difficult thing to do! And how you will fear letting go of yourself: ‘What can Joseph mean, ‘letting go’ of myself? If I let go of myself, will I die? Will I ever find myself again? Will I be able to claw my way out of my meditation back into the physical field that I loathe so much and love so much at the same time?’
I am talking about letting go of the complex shell of thoughts that you surround yourselves with every day of your lives and that you think constitutes you: the ‘you’ that worries about finances, the ‘you’ that has biases towards people and organisations, the ‘you’ that perhaps suffers from certain physical ailments, day after day. All those things are of you but are not you. They are of the physical self but not of the spirit self. Your spirit self knows nothing about illness, knows nothing about the mortgage payments, knows nothing about the need to put fuel in the car, knows nothing about a conflict of egos with people around you. So by ‘letting go of yourself’ I mean letting go of your physical self, letting go of that shell, letting go of all those things that define who you are on a physical level but not on a spiritual level. Letting them float away from you, freeing yourself of them, becoming who you already are: the unbiased, unchanging Light of God made individual in illusion only in order that you might grow as a soul and bring more information back to God when you return to Him.
Once you let go of the self you will find yourself - your spirit self - immersed in a wonderful feeling of bliss and contentment, in a timelessness, in a sea of energy … in peace. And you may stay there for a few seconds or minutes or even hours and you will be refreshed and you will know that true peace can exist and that peace is an unchanging equation, is a vibration of God, is your natural state, and you will begin to understand why you crave peace so much in all aspects of your life, because it is what you really are and it is what you want to be again.
On a subconscious level you desire peace because it is what you really are.
Now - how do you translate that peace into your world? A difficult equation! A difficult question! Peace exists when you seek to reunite others with you, to reunite others with the God that is within them. So your starting point in your politics, in resolving your conflicts, in finding peace, has got to be: ‘What is best for these people on a God-level? What is best for this situation on a God-level? What would God do? What does God require of me in this situation?’ When you approach a conflict in this manner, that vibration of peace within you (that is God) is accessible to you and permeates your consciousness with the way of peace pertaining to that particular situation. In other words, you will know what to do and you will not have an agenda; you cannot have an agenda when seeking peace.
Peace on Earth between nations is dependent at present on agendas. It is peace but peace with terms attached: ‘Peace if you live in the way that I want you to live. Peace if you serve me as I want you to serve me. Peace as long as I get what I want from the equation, from the situation.’ True peace can be found only in having the courage to allow the other people involved in the process to rediscover the God within themselves; to allow them their way of life, for example; to allow them their views, even though those views may be alien to you. (And remember to refer to the previous chapter in which I describe how to send Light to people if you are absolutely sure on a God-level that what they are doing is contrary to God’s view for this world so that you can, in time, allow them not to be changed by you but to change themselves by having enough of a spiritual charge to seek the God within them for themselves.)
So peace in a way is saying: ‘We agree to disagree but we are not going to fall out about it. We agree that we have different views but we understand that those views are simply physical views, they are views that are tied into and contaminated by the illusion. But we have a greater level, you and l, we have a level at which we can agree completely because that level is the peace that runs through you and runs though me and is the vibration that comes from the God within us. At that level we are already at peace, at that level there can be no war between us, no aggression between us, we are already at peace - it is simply a matter of acknowledging it.’
The intention of this book is to give you - individually and collectively - the ammunition with which to flood this illusion with enough Light for it to change. None of the methods I have described to you involve violence, involve oppression of another human being, involve the control of another person’s point of view.
It is is a war of peace I am asking you to wage - a war of peace - because the problem lies not so much with the other souls within the Field as with the Field itself. The Field itself, which has been given consciousness by millennia of incorrect thinking, has to be reconstructed – deconstructed and reconstructed - it has to find peace, has to be reset to peace, and that will only occur when sufficient Light is poured into the Field that the Field itself becomes a higher vibration and is changed. At the point that the Field itself is changed people will draw on that revised vibration rather than on the anxieties and worries that the Field presents to them currently on a daily basis, and will be fed by the Field rather than being controlled by the field.
At that point your world changes forever. At that point you rediscover a paradise. At that point there is true peace because you realise that peace has to be worked at, yes, but only has to be worked at in that it is there within you and you have to work to find it.
‘Peace be with you,’ is something that you say in certain of your churches and (because I am a revolutionary) I would ask the ministers: ‘What do you mean? When you say, ‘peace be with you’ – sometimes piously, sometimes glibly - what do you mean ‘peace be with you?’
Peace cannot be otherwise than with you because it is in you. Peace requires action - the action of changing the Field. The action required to change the Field takes place within you as individuals and as groups. Seek the Light within and you become peace-makers because you generate that vibration as your signature-vibration on this level and more people will be attracted to you and you can then give to them the way of peace by instructing them, teaching them how to go within and discover it. And in time you will find, as you come out of your meditations for peace, that you will no longer pick up the worries that you have left by the door. Why pick them up when peace is an absolute within you? Why worry about anything?
There was a time when there was peace, there was a time on Earth when the people on Earth tapped into God’s vibration of peace and harmony - another word for peace. Peace is harmony – the two are interchangeable, the two are the same thing. There was a time when harmony was the underlying, the dominant vibration that fed this level before The Fall; before mankind changed the polarity of the Field. That peace has not gone anywhere, it is still within you but it is masked and I want you to think for a moment about the word ‘illusion’. I describe the field as an illusion - it is an illusion, it is trickery, it is simply a layer of deception that masks your true inheritance, your true nature. You have to return to that period of peace, it is vitally important.
Your world, under the oppression of the illusion, is dying. It is running out of energy. You talk about your oil reserves, your petrol reserves, but these are physical manifestations of what is happening to the globe on a spiritual level. The globe cannot sustain itself much longer. You draw on its energies but do not replenish them and I am talking here spiritually and not materially. You take from this world everything: breaths of air, the construction of your houses, the fruits and vegetables, the animals. You take… and you take… and you take… and you take… and you draw these things into the illusion, which is negatively charged, thinking that the world has an infinite supply of spiritual energy. Michael knows how depleted he becomes after working spiritually because his life-force has been drained in order for us to communicate and needs replenishing. Imagine that that is happening on a global level; consider that every day the world is being drained of its life-force, which is not being replenished, and you see the need for peace on Earth and peace within the Earth.
You are running out of time, Ladies and Gentleman!
You are running out of time and I pray that the examples of how to change things within this book are considered and used because each soul that reunites itself with the God within becomes a point of Light, a point of energy for the world to combat the dominant vibrations of the field.
My peace be with you! My existence is within a sphere – although sphere is perhaps the wrong word - is within a ‘sea’ of peaceful vibration. Am I at peace? No, because I am concerned about your world, about the Earth. I am concerned about the souls on the Earth – about you. I am concerned that the planet and its peoples get back on track; that they permeate, that you permeate, your physical reality with enough Light to sustain yourselves, to sustain the planet and to sustain a new way of thinking.
There is an urgency to what we do. We cannot (as part of you - as part of God) turn our backs on the situation and we feel on our higher vibration the effects of your dominant vibrations upon the Earth and upon each other. This is why we come back constantly to attempt to change things. There is greater urgency with us as time goes on on your level of consciousness.
You do not have an infinite number of tomorrows in which to put things right.
You have to begin now.
