When you are feeling joy in your lives, when you seek joy in all your experiences, when you feel joy no matter what is happening in world and people around you -- it is then you are in highest vibration possible for any human being. It is then you are perfectly aligned with your higher self, that all-powerful, all-wise part of you that lives eternally in higher vibrations and dimensions of universe.

Joy is key to all you wish for. So seek joy in every and all experience -- even those you consider negative or painful. The joy is always there -- though it won’t be obvious always unless you look for it.

Joy is your birthright. Joy is natural. Joy is your connection to divine energy you may call God. Joy is your bond with your higher self.

Joy is all your higher self -- your soul -- knows. It lives in a state of constant joy. And when you are fully aligned with your higher self, you also will live in a state of constant joy, a state of pure bliss.

Whenever you are vibrating at, or close to, frequency your soul vibrates at always, you will find what you often call miracles happening all over place.

Your bodies cannot remain dis-eased or dis-ordered when you are in a state of joy. Your relationships cannot remain troubled when you are in a state of joy. Your abundance cannot remain distant from you when you are in a state of joy. Your life cannot but improve easily when you are in a state of joy.

You will soar when you are in a state of joy.

Joy is absolutely secret to life. You will always find joy in doing what’s right for you. And you will always know what’s right for you by joy it brings you.

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.

Everything happens to this fundamental sense of identity. Despite shifting matrix in your life, you remain yourself, and you remain timeless observer.

This subtle observer is silent, never speaking, yet unbelievably alive.

This core of who you are has been called many names: consciousness, field of infinite potentiality, quantum dimension, self, soul, or your being.

This energy of precious awareness stays within you before and after your experience of being in a body and thinking about world through mind.

Mentally, we divide now into past and future, but only factor in which consciousness happens is now. Without now, nothing else exists.

What holds now in place is you. While mind flits here and there, mapping out phenomena, vast power of consciousness holds everything together, and makes everything coherent.

The one factor that remains constant in your life is present moment. And it is held by field of consciousness. All phenomena arise from now in consciousness, and it's you in your deepest sense.
