The Joseph Communications: From Here to Infinity. Michael G. Reccia
from the effects of the Fall, knows that the link with its other half can never be broken and knows that eventually that soul will come out into the Light. So, it is a different viewpoint.
It is a good question because it illustrates the two viewpoints, and you can say to the people who are suffering on Earth at this time, thinking they are lonely or that life is stacked against them that, in effect, they have another half …maybe that half is with them on Earth or maybe it is in the spiritual realms… but that other half is bathed in glory (as are they at core), and inevitably one day they will reunite. Inevitably! And so, in the darkest times of the souls on Earth who are suffering, there is something to look forward to because the suffering that is an illusion will eventually pass away, and they will inevitably be reunited with their other half. They will be reinvested with their spiritual values and abilities, and then they will move on as one back through those concentric circles to the point that is God …and will be brought out again into more glorious realms of physicality and creativity together. Does that answer your question?
Jane: That’s wonderful! Thank you.
Tony: My earlier experience on this Earth was in running and building businesses, and the process involved in making adjustments according to market information so that, if something wasn’t working in a particular area, we could be flexible and move the business to more appropriate areas in which to succeed. I understand that we are here now working our way back to God and the experiences we have (which is the important part of us being here) are what we take back to God. From what you are saying, Joseph, the Godhead gains experience from millions and millions of us taking our experiences back to Him so that He can learn. What happens with all that information at the Godhead? If it’s not working for people caught in the effects of the Fall, and if that is the experience of the majority of people coming back to the Godhead, is it feasible that the rules can be changed at a higher level to make the journey more successful and productive for us?
Joseph: There are things to consider here. You talk of the millions of souls going back to the Godhead, but what you have to remember is that there are billions and billions and billions of other souls outside the experience of the Fall that are returning to the Godhead in the normal course of events and according to God’s law and God’s will. So, to offset this tiny corner of creativity in the universe, there is a returning to God constantly of the experiences that those souls and the Godhead want.
I think this question illuminates the seriousness of the effects of the Fall – in that it illustrates how this one small corner has taken a step that has taken itself ‘out of step’ with the normal course of events. God’s universe (as we have said previously) runs entirely through free will. The actions of His children are all free-will actions. God cannot restrict part of Himself (as we have also mentioned before). In the case of the Fall, through free will, those souls involved (albeit through thinking initially that their actions would result in a ‘shining jewel’ to bring back to God) divorced themselves from the normal course of events. It is free will that holds those souls on such an uneasy path …just as it will be free will that eventually brings them back onto the path that billions and billions of other souls travel.
God is free will. It is not a gift to His children – it is simply a part of Himself. So, it is not that He can change a rule; it is that He cannot change what He is. He is free will and, therefore, each of the souls within the Fall, are free will too. So, they are still operating within God’s plan for His children …it is just that they have used that free will to put up ‘a wall’.
You are correct in saying that, if something doesn’t work in the business world, you revert to plan ‘B’ or plan ‘C’. You look at it in a different way, and that, in effect, is what God is waiting for the souls entrapped in the effects of the Fall to do …to revert to plan ‘B’ …to look back and say: ’This isn’t working! I’m going to leave it. I am not going to invest any more time, effort or creativity into it.’
And, at that point there is an option, but the option has to be created by the souls that are, at this point, trapped within the effects of the Fall. It is exactly the same process – as you would expect it to be – because, in business dealings or whatever a soul chooses to do in life, they are drawing on God-power. The way things come to them and stack up as a ‘plan’ for them is based on God-power. That God-power, in many, many cases, is then perverted by the wills and actions of the souls trapped within the Fall …but the basic plan is God-power. So, if you look at any creative endeavour within the effects of the Fall, it is based on God-power. It cannot be based on anything else because ultimately there is nothing else. But, then it is coloured, built upon and distorted by the effects of the Fall and by the insistence of the spirit drawing on that original concept of being right: ‘I am right. Therefore, this is still the way to go. This is still the business plan that needs to be adhered to!’ …even though, clearly, it isn’t working. Do you see that?
Tony: I do. Thank you very much.
Joseph: This is where heartbreak comes in because, if you see your brother faltering and see a different way (which we have been able to see because the scales have fallen from our eyes through our own endeavours) then you wish to stand on a mountain, bang a drum and say,’ There is another way!’ And the fact that we can only do this slowly is heart-breaking. The fact that we can give this information out and yet have so many so immersed in the physical that they ignore it is heart-breaking. But, what is ‘illuminating’ (and I use that word carefully) is the effect of the people who do read the information, absorb it and remember it because they then become a point of Light. And a point of Light shines into other people’s lives and illuminates what is right and what is wrong with those lives and the need for change.

At a low ebb, I am afraid, David. …I must ask you for a question. We must start this new book with each of us asking something…
David: I was just going to follow on from what you said, and ask about people shedding Light on others and the amounts of Light they actually bring through compared with people who don’t shed Light… i.e. you said in an earlier session that one person transmitting Light counters the darkness of a thousand who are not. Is that the case?
Joseph: It is entirely the case. I wish I could bring through an illustration of it, but maybe if I put it in these terms: You are God. Each soul is God …a portion of God, yes, but also God. When you talk to the Father and when you pray, in effect, you are praying to yourself. God’s creativity is infinite. God’s ability to love, to nurture and to guide is infinite. When you remember the Fall and remember who you are, you have access to Light within yourself but also to all the Light within God …all the Light within God. So, in the measure that you push away from you the beliefs of the rest of mankind, you are an infinitely powerful tool for illuminating the rest of the world.
How far does that Light go? Well, it always nourishes; it always ignites the spark within others. There is a ‘pilot light’ within each person, and that ‘pilot light’ is powered to the point where it bursts back into flame. Even if your Light falls within a soul so entrenched within the effects of the Fall that it can only see darkness, anger, perversion and violence, you are maintaining that ‘pilot light’. You are preparing it for the time when it will burst into flame. And you channelling an infinite amount of Light from the Godhead …and another channelling an infinite amount of Light from the Godhead …and another …and another …and another eventually causes that ‘pilot light’ to burst forth into flame. It is an inevitability.
You are, as a consciously illuminated being, chasing away the ‘shadows’ within other people’s souls because the violence …and the perversion …and the anger …and the greed …and the power-struggle are all nightmares. Each soul within the effects of the Fall, until they re-illuminate themselves (by their own efforts or with the help of others), is dreaming …dreaming a nightmare that they have invested in and believe in. What a terrible thing to believe in a nightmare and then to say, ‘I am having bad dreams – my life is bad.’
…It is bad because you have invested in the nightmare, but the move into the Light is simply a
