Over years, Joseph has spoken often about gratitude, and wonders it can create in our lives. In USA this week we celebrate a day called Thanksgiving. A day of giving thanks for all blessings in our lives. A day for expressing gratitude.

Joseph and I wrote this newsletter many years ago. But it’s never lost its timeliness, especially at this season of year. And especially at this time in our human and planetary evolution.

I wish you all a most blessed and happy Thanksgiving, whether you’re in USA or another country. We all have much to be thankful for, even in world’s current state of affairs. So let us focus on all good in our lives, especially during this holiday season.

Chief Joseph

There are many souls incarnated on earth plane who appear to be struggling with attracting into their lives barest, most basic necessities of physical survival. Abundance on all, or at least many, levels seems to elude them. And many of these souls often wonder why. Why them? Why is life such a struggle? Why can they not have more in their lives, more joy, more peace, more love, more money? More of all forms of abundance?

Now you've heard it said you create your own reality. And this is true. All of you create your own realities, your own experiences, every aspect of your experiences on earth plane. However, even in knowing that, you may find little comfort or solace.

And yet it does not have to be this way. Abundance, in all forms, is your birthright as a child of Goddess, God. You are not only a child of God/Goddess. You are God/Goddess. You are one with God. And so this brings us back to question of why so many, even among you, lightworkers, are living lives of struggle.

You will hear, have already heard, voices telling you your “lot in life” is “God's will.” Well, that's true. The only problem is most of those uttering these words, or something similar, do not realize they are God! They are God, Goddess who has willed their own struggles, their lot in life. Simply being aware of, and accepting, that reality is very freeing. After all, truth shall set you free.

We are in no way advocating you “beat up” on yourself if you are struggling with any aspect of your life. And, of course, it is true your higher self, your soul, can and will use whatever circumstances and conditions you are experiencing at human level as “raw material,” if you will, to produce a higher good for you. Another way of saying that is: Whatever is happening in your life can and will ultimately result in your highest good.

However, your highest good does not have to come through pain and struggle. It can come to you joyfully and easily. If you are not experiencing abundance you want in your lives, it is because you are literally pushing it away from yourselves. After all, your natural state, your birthright, is abundance. You have always been provided for, even in midst of your self-created struggles, though perhaps not in exactly luxurious style to which you would love to become accustomed! But you have always been taken care of.

DREAMS OR DREAMERS?: -

“We are told by Herodotus that in temple of Bel {This is Keltic god known as Ba'al by Phoenicians, Bel might have been in Babylon through Byblos city on Persian Gulf that sold ships to Egyptians in 2900 BC. Later Byblus in Lebanon is thought to be what some [who try to limit Phoenician interest] call Byblos as a small part of a decreasing international influence.} in Babylon, a priestess lay on a bed ready to dream visions of second class, and that beds of such soothsayers were often made of skin of a ram --is well known.

The ancient Hebrews obtained such dreams by sleeping among tombs, and this especial gateway to supernatural world seems to have been, and still is known to majority of nations, primitive and civilized, as intimately as hypnosis and other methods of reaching its planes and hearing its pronouncements. Sleep was, of course, often induced by drugs, whether soma of Hindus, peyote of ancient Mexicans, hashish of Arabs, or opium of Malays or Chinese, and these narcotics which have property of inducing speedy sleep and of heightening inward vision were and still are greatly prized by professional dreamers allover world, especially as they rendered dreaming almost immediately possible.” (10)

'Professional dreamers' following visions from above and divining our future, quickly became willing to sell their advice to those who threatened them if they didn't. The dependence on such easy answers continues among mass of population ‘til this moment as 'experts' and politicians join media in a free for all. We believe breakdown in matriarchal influence and egalitarian governance created this cauldron of deceit in Mediterranean after influx created by rising waters that formed North Sea due to glacial effects if not sooner, when northern 'Hyperboreans' colonized area. The issue of what is real about dreams is open for debate to say least but there are many who think they can interpret chaos of these partial insights. Personally I enjoy practice, if there is something positive to say but I regard 'free will' as most important ingredient in what really makes world 'go round'. William James and his book 'Pragmatism' was important to Carl Jung whose work in dream interpretation sets stage for many symbolic and archetypal interpreters to this day.

"The first treatise on subject was that of Artemidorus, who lived in time of Antonius Pius. He differentiated between dreams of kings and those of commoners, as he believed that visions of royalty must have reference to commonwealth {The Bible and plagues predicted by Joseph, for example.} and not to individual {No reason in common sense or science to believe this. Carl Jung was a commoner who saw First World War in advance. Tesla's vision led to many great and useful inventions - however dreams are seldom so vivid or what one can call 'flashes of illumination' - that is an entirely different phenomena.}. Dreams which represented something as happening to individual who dreams them, show that they have a personal significance, whereas if dream relates to another it will concern him alone. He detailed numerous species of dreams throughout five books, and then adduced numerous examples. The rules of Artemidorus are far from clear, and according to them, any dream might signify any event, and any interpretation of same might be considered justifiable.

The method of testing dreams according to Amyraldus in his 'Discours sur les Songes divins' (Saumur, 1625) is whether instructions and advice that they contain make for good or ill--a test it is impossible to apply until after result is known. But Amyraldus surmounts this difficulty by proposing to test dreams by evidence they show of divine knowledge--by asking oneself in short, whether dream it was desired to examine gave any evidence of such things as God alone could know.
