Of course you can!

Do you need John as an intermediary to contact us?

No.

And neither do you need you need your churches, priests, ministers, gurus, counselors, or any other individual or organization to act as your “go-between” to communicate with world of Spirit.

However, and this is an obvious fact but one not fully grasped by many, most humans believe they need a go-between, an intermediary. If that were not true, many of your mainstream religions and other spiritual organizations simply could not exist.

“And so, Joseph,” you might ask, “what is purpose of any intermediary? What is your purpose?”

Our purpose, dear friends, is to remind you of who you truly are, that is goddesses and gods. Most of you have forgotten that. Or have only a dim recollection of it. So we, intermediaries, are here to remind you.

You have a direct line to God, to Spirit, to All That Is, to your higher self. And when you remember and accept that, there will be no more work for us, intermediaries, to do.

Our goal is to put ourselves out of business. And when you remember you are God, we will have achieved our goal.

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.

It's worth noting that when we choose to hold a grudge and to remain angry, we carry pain of betrayal with us. We experience a small amount of pain each time we think of it. The ego actually wants us to experience this pain, because little pain will serve to remind us how important it is to avoid big pain. And only way to avoid big pain is to protect ourselves from close, supportive relationships with those who have hurt or betrayed us.

Frequently, person that we most need to forgive is our self. We betray ourselves each time we listen to ego and forget truth of who we are. And more we betray ourselves, more our egos try to protect us (from ourselves, yet!) by strengthening illusion of separation from Source. And of course, more we believe illusion of separation, more we betray ourselves, and experience pain. The way to break out of this vicious circle is to forgive ourselves--to "give as before." We must learn to express unconditional love and compassion for ourselves. As we experience this love and compassion, we will reconnect with our true selves. And more we're able to forgive ourselves, more we're able to forgive others.
