...Joseph would stand up.
My legs would be locked into position and I would stay rooted to the spot, motionless from the waist down, for anything up to an hour and three quarters as I vacated my body and mind and Joseph moved in, opening with a little address, then inviting questions from the audience and answering them with his usual fact and information-packed eloquence and gentle humour.
At the end of each session Joseph, having invariably overrun my physical frame and mind to the point of complete exhaustion, would reluctantly vacate my body and I would be drawn back into it, my first returning sensation being that of extreme pain in both legs. I would subsequently, following a few seated moments to allow me to literally gather my senses and take a few sips of water, hobble off through the silent audience back to the consulting room, where a tray of sandwiches and a piece of chocolate cake would be waiting for me, courtesy of Tony. These I would devour like a man who hadn’t seen food for a week, bolting everything down without really tasting it in a frantic, almost instinctive quest to reacquire some physical and mental energy. On one occasion I remember peering into the mirror in my post-trace state, unable to recognise what I was seeing. On another I simply wanted to crouch in a foetal position behind the examination table in the room, shut my eyes and hide until I felt better... I might have been back in my body but I was definitely not myself. Following each demonstration it would take me at least a week to fully recover my wits and my energies – but the ultimate outcome would be the same – Joseph would have filled in some further blanks in our spiritual knowledge and his presence whilst doing so would be on record.
We held a demonstration in Ireland, where a very dark conference room in a hotel, completely devoid of spiritual energy, was quickly transformed into a chamber of light and power for the duration of the communication by our guides; and also in various other UK locations, at one of which the overhead lights were extinguished in a burst of high-pitched noise by the Field, and the transformer on our camcorder was fried, cutting short our visual recording. Our final public demonstration, back at the Sanctuary, and whilst not affecting the communication, was the subject of attack by negative forces, the consequences of which had a debilitating effect on us all for some weeks – Joseph was, after all, making available liberating spiritual knowledge that the world as it is did not want to ‘go public’. Such were the effects of that final demonstration that we decided the public communications were becoming too dangerous for us all and for me in particular, and that we would, from that point onwards, continue to bring through Joseph’s observations in private only, lest my health suffer too much.
By that stage we did, however, have a comprehensive visual and aural record of Joseph’s twelve public appearances, the transcriptions of which are the subject of this book. Each chapter is prefaced by details of the date and the place where that demonstration was held, plus a list of the topics discussed on that occasion. Inevitably, certain queries are raised more than once across the demonstrations, with members of the congregation at different locations and gatherings wanting in particular to understand more about ‘the Field’ and ‘the Fall’. In addressing these questions Joseph, however, always weaves further enlightening information into his answers so that the transcripts offer the reader a view of his mission that expands and becomes more comprehensive with each successive communication. We, therefore, feel you will discover something new and deeply thought-provoking in each communication, even on those occasions where variations of questions that have been addressed in earlier communications have been asked again. Also included at the end of the book are a number of additional questions asked of Joseph in closed Band of Light circle conditions by its members and never before published.
This book, then, is offered as an essential companion to the Band of Light’s other Joseph Communications titles, as a unique insight into the times when this highly-evolved spirit addressed an audience directly, and as a source of essential and life-changing spiritual perspectives at a time when this planet sorely needs such input.
As for myself, Jane, David and Tony, Joseph’s input into our lives and, via us, the lives of countless souls across the planet is still unfolding, and our connected journey continues. At the time of writing we continue to regularly sit in closed circle conditions to bring through additional information from him, and a further collection of liberating, essential, amazing spiritual insights is assembling itself, chapter by chapter, into a sixth book, due for publication as soon as energies and circumstance allow its remaining communications to be brought through and transcribed.
Many readers have expressed a desire for further information concerning myself and my life and the Band of Light’s activities. My answer to those requests has always been that it is the communications that are of importance, not me. I am simply a human being who has found himself at the centre of extraordinary events. I receive no dispensation from the challenges of life that are common to the human race at this time, and am simply the ‘instrument’, as Joseph calls me; the means of transmitting the information into this area of ‘reality’.
Of course, it’s me on the cover of this title ...in a sense, that is. It’s my body and my face, but not, at the moment the photograph was taken, my consciousness. You’re looking at Joseph in that image... not his features, not his body, but his essence. Me – the spirit me... the real me, not the outer shell – is out of the picture at that point, allowing Joseph to take over and do what he does best: reacquaint people with their spiritual heritage and bring them knowledge that allows them to change themselves, and this world, for the better.
Forever.

Life in Atlantis.
Spirit photography.
Crop-circles.
What mankind can do to save the planet.

Joseph: It doesn’t take long – it is like Michael stepping out through a ‘door’ and me stepping in. He resists me at times and I find that amusing because we have worked together for a long, long time – longer than just this lifetime. He has seen me around today; he has seen me in silver and it is the silver vibration that I bring through to you first of all.
...Silver because it cleanses; silver because it takes away the negative aspects of this physical life that you pick up as a matter of course each day; silver because it uplifts; silver because it is noble; silver because I want to begin by reminding you that each of you is a travelling soul; that each of you is on a journey of exploration, of experience, of evolution; to bring back to you the nobility that your world cancels
