can be further refined and send out new concepts.
And that, my friends, is just the nature of the physical universe. There are other universes. There are spiritual universes, which are all based on the same principle: an expansion of matter, an expansion of energy, to allow form to take place, and an expansion of thought and concept and understanding within that form that then is withdrawn to the centre to be put out again in ever more refined form.
And you might ask, ‘Well, Joseph, is there anything outside of God?’ I can only answer from within my experience and all that I have come across in all my experiences (and all that anyone that I have ever met or linked with from ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ spheres of existence has experienced) has been contained within the will of God, within the creative faculty of God, within the senses of God, the vibrations of God. My heart-mind answer (which is based not on the factual knowledge assimilated by the head-mind you use on Earth but on soul-core understanding, knowing and perception) is therefore: ‘No, there is nothing outside of God. There is nothing outside of God. God contains everything.’
A question also sometimes asked is, ‘Is there more than one God?’ Again, my answer to that (based on my personal experience) is: ‘No, everything is contained within the Oneness – there can only be Oneness.’ No matter how evolved, how enlightened a spirit may become they are still part of the Oneness; they do not become a separate God. They display more God-energy; they have a greater understanding of God, but they are still part of God. So, my answer is that everything is contained within the one God but also that God is contained within everything – within everything.
My point in opening this second book in this way is to say to the people who will read it and to the people who will listen to it (because it will also be made available in different forms – including a form that you can listen to): God is ‘without’ you – He is outside of you and around you, containing you, protecting you …but He is also ‘inside’ you.
That universe that expands from the dot to the edges of the cycle and then goes back again is also within you and, if you think about it, this is also the way in which you operate as a soul on Earth, as a physical being. The point of birth is the explosion of physicality from that dot, from the soul that you really are. You then reach the outer limits of understanding within a lifetime in a physical universe and then you pass on (or you ‘die’, as you say), you move on to another area of existence and that knowledge is condensed within you so that your soul, when you go back to the spirit worlds, can take advantage of it. And then there is a new existence for you where the dot is put forth again, perhaps in physicality, perhaps in another realm in the spirit worlds, but that cycle of journeying outwards and then coming back into the centre is reflected in all things, including yourself.
The object of this book is to make you aware of your potential as a soul but also to make you aware of your potential and capability as a human being – because, as a human being, you contain within you all the building blocks you need to create whatever you want to create: to build a different society, to heal society, to heal yourself, to bring yourself to new frontiers of knowledge, to change the face of this Earth, to reach outwards towards other planets if you so wish to do as a race. All that potential is contained within you.
Unfortunately, that potential is not being realised at this time because people are being given no true spiritual encouragement. People have lost their way and are lost in the ‘illusion’ of the world. They are lost in what they see outside themselves, not realising that what they see outside themselves is created from inside themselves. It is no use railing against society and saying it is wrong. You, all of you en masse, have created society as it is. True, the souls who came before you contributed to it but ‘reality’ is like a switch – it can be switched on and off at will.
My message to you, which we will investigate in future chapters, is that it is no use complaining about society if you are not prepared to switch that switch. It is no use saying, ‘What can I do?’ It is no use saying, ‘I’m not bothered, I’m safe.’ You have to take the view that it is up to you.
Each person has to take the view that it is up to them to change things.
If you believe it is up to the politicians - you are wrong. If you believe it is up to the clergyman - you are wrong. If you believe it is up to local councils, or police, or solicitors, or judges - you are wrong!
Society changes with you.
There is an expression: the buck stops here. The buck stops with you! You, as part of God, are all powerful. You, as part of God, are all goodness. You, as part of God, are all Love. It is only because you have forgotten these things that you do not manifest them in your society at the moment.
You will be aware that the first book that has been published introduces me as an Atlantean… and, yes, that is one of the lives I lived on Earth that I am most comfortable with. I wish I could take you back to that time. I wish I could show you the splendour, the beauty of the world as it was at that time. I wish you could see the bronzed trees under purple skies. I wish you could see the art we created with gold that was beaten out so fine it was almost transparent. I wish you could see the fruits that we grew. I wish you could see the communities we had …and we lost it all because of man sinking into his own illusion.
I have returned to Earth as the spokesperson of a number of souls to make sure that the mistakes that were made around the time of Atlantis are not made again. That idyll, that beauty we had, can be yours again. Not as something to be coveted by the few but as something to be enjoyed by all souls on Earth, to thank God for. That perfection, that symmetry you do not see presently can be yours again.
It starts with you.
It starts today.
It starts now.
It starts the minute you read this - there is no time to waste!
In subsequent chapters I am going to tell you how you can change society and you change society first of all by changing yourself. This book is about new visions; this book is about giving yourself the ability to dream again; this book is about projecting into the ether the society you want, that God wants …and this book, ultimately, is about saving the world.
When I was a young man during my existence in Atlantis I was torn between what I wanted to do. I was fascinated by the way that things worked – why things worked as they did. I was drawn in two directions: I was drawn towards our scientific side but I was also drawn to our spiritual side. Now you must understand that in my society both sides were really one, but you could say we chose to ‘major’ in something: we could choose to be spiritual and major in science or we could choose to be scientific and major in the spiritual side.
I was fascinated with directions, with points on the compass, with lands ‘out there’, with the people we could meet… and there were frequent visitors. We denied nothing to anyone but they had to ask, because our society was more advanced than many of the societies around us. If they asked us we would show them every one of our ‘secrets’ – it was our spiritual duty, we felt, to share the knowledge we had with others.
I have to say that, as I grew older, religion (the religion I was brought up with, which was not ‘religion’ as you would understand the term) and ritual won the upper hand with me. We had great temples and in our temples you could see spiritual energy because we had devices that would focus spiritual energy …’focus’ is the wrong word… that would acoustically allow the vision of spiritual energy. This is something you don’t know about today: that if you build your churches in a certain way, with a certain resonance, using certain materials,
