You have chosen to experience excitement, joy, challenges of being physical for a while. It’s all supposed to be fun!

Your soul knew that when you incarnated–this time, and all of many other times you incarnated into a human body.

This human life of yours is a glorious adventure in remembering and exercising your divinity. In remembering and exercising great creative powers you all possess, as glorious goddesses and gods you are, albeit in human form for now.

Which brings us to our point here for today.

You did not choose to be human so you could just lay around doing nothing for 50 or 100 years. You chose to be human so you could immerse yourselves in challenges and contrasts of human life. And so you could have fun and find joy in process.

Life on earth is a magnificent opportunity for you, as your souls see it, to flex your creative muscles, as it were.

And in doing so, you are adding your energies, your unique creative powers to expanding Universe. The Universe–and you–are always expanding and growing. Every thought you think, every action you take has a ripple effect. And you thereby touch all that is, even unto farthest reaches of Universe.

You are far from powerless. You are powerful far beyond your wildest imaginings and dreams.

And so every experience, every challenge you face in your human lives is a great opportunity for you to grow and remember who you truly are. Even those experiences your human mind considers tragic are opportunities for you grow and remember.

You are human and spiritual at same time. Being fully human, in every moment of your earthly lives, enables you to be fully spiritual in every moment of your eternal lives.

The two–the human you and spiritual you–are eternally one. To be fully human does not make you less spiritual. To be fully spiritual does not make you less human.

Since 1992, John Cali has been communicating with a spirit 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 Oregon.

Frank relates, "I did end up with what I would call a personal teacher--Joska Soos is his name, from Hungary. So he's one that I have worked most with and whose presence I feel most when I do my work. I've also studied with other lineages and other teachers over years. But Joska himself came from a shamanic lineage. In Hungary there are apparently 108 clans, and one clan is shamanic clan. They are called Bacsa. So he was born into clan, and was taught from when he was a kid of five or six by local blacksmith, who was a shaman, which is a typical shamanic profession, you know--dealing with metal and fire and all that. Apparently he was a great shaman--his name was Tomas Bacsi. Joska was born as a shaman with cowl [a birth cowl: layer of skin over face traditionally a mystical sign of extraordinary psychic powers. The skin must be surgically removed]. It was meeting Joska that had biggest impact on me of remembering. There was this immediate shock that I seem to know this. It seems to invoke something in me that is so profound. I couldn't not see Joska for a while. I had to go there every week. I just jumped on train and every week I was there--very faithful. But I had no idea that I myself would do that work one day. That was then still so foreign from my own way of manifesting myself in world."

Frank says it took him eight to nine years to comfortably make transition from "daily rational awareness" to shamanic awareness. "There was no longer a battle inside my own mind about that," Frank says. "It was just like two aspects of world as I knew it, and of parts of myself--the way I knew myself to be."

I asked now, as a full-time shaman, if he was in shamanic consciousness all time. "Oh, no, it would be too draining. It is very intense work. In fact, I consider normal daily consciousness as a break from shaman work." Frank stressed need for balance between types of consciousness, with that balance making both more meaningful and multi-dimensional.
