Foreword
Before Michael introduces Joseph I would like to introduce Michael to you. Michael has been a friend and a colleague for many years. We hit it off from the first moment we clapped eyes on each other. Michael had taken it upon himself to edit and produce a magazine in order to support his decision to quit his full time employment and apply himself to being a spirit medium. It must have seemed strange to my then employers (a print company in the North of England) that I should be sharing jokes and chuckling away with one of their clients to the extent that I did after only a few minutes in each other’s company. We thoroughly enjoyed working together. I helped Michael produce the graphics for the magazine, but after that first issue the owner placed its artwork and print elsewhere and I didn’t think I’d see Michael again. Little did I know…
One day, maybe a year or two later, my wife and I went along to a party at a neighbour’s home. Not knowing anyone there apart from our neighbour, and not particularly wishing to go, I probably reluctantly said, ‘Yes. Sure. It’ll be fun. Let’s go.’ Once there, we found ourselves in a dimly lit room full of 20 to 30 year olds, mostly from the advertising and sales industries. I really didn’t wish to be there and neither did someone else by the look on his face. Sat on a solitary chair amidst everyone else was Michael. He beamed when he saw me and I guess I did the same.
So, we met each other for a second time, and from that point onwards became good friends. We went on to run our own publishing company and for a while Michael put his work as a spirit medium on the back burner. Eventually the company was wound up as a going concern and we both went our own ways – Michael picking up the threads of his spiritual work once again.
It was a couple of years after this that Michael wrote his book Answering the Questions Mediums are Asked Most and asked me to produce the artwork. Consequently we discussed other ‘little’ projects we might undertake together.
Joseph’s first book, this book, was one such project and Michael will explain in his introduction how it came about.
I think it’s safe to say that when we first started sitting to record Joseph’s communications we had no idea of the threshold on which we stood. Since then so much has happened as a consequence of undertaking this work on behalf of Joseph and the myriad souls who, through God, move mountains to make it a reality. A small group has coalesced about Michael, while behind the scenes a huge number of souls work to bring about the publication of this and subsequent titles containing wisdom and guidance from higher orders of existence. They (we) do this out of love – for those who are ‘trapped’ in an unceasing round of incarnation, continually repeating themselves, enthralled by the glamour of the Earth plane, forgotten to themselves.
There are other groups, other, similar attempts to open the eyes of people across the Earth right now, chipping away until one day each of us opens our heart to God and decides to listen, to recall who or what we are and then to realise it’s time to move on, to grow, to evolve spiritually… and to go home.
So, why Michael? Well, his guides once said that they worked with him because of his ‘scientific’ nature – his impartiality, his ability to try and distance himself from the message and take himself out of the loop. It’s not always easy. Some psychics, mediums or channellers, we are told, have their own agenda (quite often with good intentions) and put their own spin on the communication. To avoid this happening Michael almost never reads ‘spiritual’ texts so that he can never subconsciously ‘colour’ the communication he channels in light of information he has read. In other words, he takes his task seriously and disciplines himself.
So, why this group, this Band of Light, as we have been called? The truth is that, while Michael channels information as accurately as he can, he remains an instrument, often unable to recall what has transpired. This is why he asked me to sit with him. I was there to record Joseph’s communications. And, when both of us didn’t have the wherewithal to transcribe the recorded sessions onto paper, a way was found, as you’ll see in Michael’s introduction. In ancient days (and Michael remembers living this way long, long ago in another life) the seer or oracle would be supplied with everything they required in order to function as a messenger; they were not expected to feed and clothe themselves or to work in the field, but simply to communicate with the ancestors, the angels and God. However, in our modern, rush, rush, world this is no longer the case. Most people are too busy to even think of themselves spiritually or find it fanciful that a communion between souls ‘on Earth’ and in other planes of existence is possible.
So, Jane, Tony and myself are happy to help both Michael and the soul groups behind us deliver their message, for as Joseph says, he’s only a spokesperson and Michael the instrument.
Whatever your beliefs are, if you only pause to consider the points made in this one book our work will have been worthwhile.

Giving voice to Joseph - an introduction
Joan looked sad and troubled.
For seven years I had been lucky enough to learn from this remarkable woman who had become my spiritual teacher. I had met with her each week throughout that time and she had helped me to develop my mediumistic gifts and prepare for the demonstrations, workshops and lectures that were destined to become part of my life, together with the thousands of one-to-one ‘readings’ I would subsequently
