Now, this was no normal book. For one thing, it only had two pages. And each page was woven tightly out of wicker, in complex and intricate patterns. Somehow man knew that there was something special about book, but he didn't know how he knew, and he didn't know what.

For many months man puzzled over book. He began to notice that, as he puzzled, he felt patterns with his fingers and knew somehow that they had meaning. He came to notice subtle intricacies of shade and shadow within book and as his fingers ran lightly over knots and weave he would hear gentle sounds.

Joseph is always reminding us we are all goddesses and gods in human form.

Recently, a good friend of ours, Phyllis Swenson, sent me a letter requesting that Joseph devote an issue of newsletter to this subject. Because, as she said, she sometimes forgets who she really is.

Don’t we all?

Here’s Phyllis’ letter:

“Hi John, “I was wondering if I can make a request to Chief Joseph to speak to us in a future (newsletter) covering topic of our God/Goddess natures.

“That is a subject that has always inspired me. I know a lot of people forget that in Bible Jesus said “Ye are Gods.” I know I often have a tendency to forget, when things get rough, about my Goddess nature.

“So, if Chief Joseph would honor us sometime in near future by reminding us we are Gods, and especially (of) fact we are Gods at play and not slaves to trials and tribulations of life, it would certainly be a wonderful wakeup call . . . . “Thanks, John. Have a joyful day.

“Blessings, Phyllis”

Chief Joseph

Most of you take your lives far too seriously. You’re supposed to be having fun. And yet few of you have fun, at least consistently.

Your only purpose in life is to seek joy. Period!

And you are totally free to do that, regardless of how positively or negatively you view your current circumstances. You are totally free!

You can make whatever choices you want. And choices you make today will determine your reality tomorrow. Yesterday has nothing to do with today–or tomorrow.
