The question is asked in this moment:

"What is stopping humanity from embracing joy?"

I greet you this day dear ones, and what a pleasure it is to be here with you once again in this way. I so much enjoy coming forward to sit with you and to share our energies, as do those many angelic beings who also come forward to join in on such occasions as this one now. Too many times humans limit their encounters with those on the Other Side of the Veil when all are here to serve and to assist.

This day as we breathe together we will speak about some common threads that are woven through mass consciousness and are actually in process of being unwoven, for the shifts from the Solstice of the 21st of June were far reaching indeed.

For with every new incarnation, the intention was always there to complete a prior experience and to allow it to flow to completion in the consecutive life.

As a consolidated group, all humans on earth, with the exception of the new children who are now being born, all humanity at this time more than any other before, carries a dynamic of great guilt and shame. And while these energies feel very much negative and oppressive, it was the intention of those who came in to incarnation after the second World War to carry this energy into this life.

The intention to bring this energy into this life was because there was finally the potential to transmute and be finished with many of the less enjoyable, shall we say, experiences that have been carried forth from one incarnation to another for eons of time. For with every new incarnation, the intention was always there to complete a prior experience and to allow it to flow to completion in the consecutive life.

Yet dear ones, this did not occur. And instead, what you know as karma became a twisted thing that kept recreating and activating over and over and over again, far different from it’s original intent and design until there was never the opportunity or energy to be fully clear from one lifetime to another.

This is the lifetime that was determined to be the one where everything potentially is untwisted and brought back into alignment with All That Is...

Today’s culture has positioned us to believe that we are “less than.” Media contributes to this illusion by showing us the image we need in order to be perfect, and therefore accepted. It is very easy to overlook the gifts in our lives when we are spending precious time and energy examining what is wrong with us and seeking ways to correct our imperfections. Disillusionment and discontent can often set in, leaving us riding dramatic highs and lows in our self concept, relationships, jobs and others aspects of our day-to-day lives

The title of this article is one of the most common questions asked of Chief Joseph and me. Why are we here? What’s my life’s purpose?

In one word, Joseph would say “Joy.” Joy is the reason we are here and it’s the purpose of our lives.

But some object, “Well, what about learning lessons, facing our fears, clearing karma, healing our blockages, etc.?” Are they not also life purposes?

Here’s Chief Joseph.

When you focus on joy, all else falls into place.

The question is asked in this moment:

Presentation by Kris channeled by Serge Joseph Grandbois at The Channeling Symposium on Saturday, October 19. Transcribed by Denny Hall

Kris: We wish you a most pleasant and warm welcome.

You have had most interesting perspectives. You have shared of yourselves today, and you have enjoyed the company of others.

We wish in our humble way to add to your day by speaking about the joy of being and that, as strange as it may seem, there are some people who do not know what being is or what joy is. And these appear in your lives in a variety of fashions, often because they reflect your own inner experiences.

There are times when you experience some small moments of joy and you understand the nature of being. But it often escapes you and sometimes rather quickly, especially over the last year.

By Salle Merrill Redfield

Have you ever had an experience where you felt joyful and wise? Maybe you went through a divorce or you lost a loved one and you grew from the pain and developed a new outlook on life. Or maybe you accomplished something like loosing those extra ten pounds or improving your golf swing. For awhile you felt in the flow of life. Connected. As if everything was going to be all right forever. Then something came along that left you feeling out of balance.

Why does this happen? How can we feel so connected to everyone and everything one moment and equally disconnected the next? And what can we do when this occurs? How can we get back into the flow, and how can we be OK when regaining our happiness takes longer than we want?

This is an excerpt of a private reading by Chief Joseph which we feel might benefit our readers.

In your question, you ask: I am currently very stuck in my next move. And then you clarify in your next mail to John, regarding your career. It has been for some time. I wonder if there is any advice.

First of all, it is important for you to acknowledge being stuck, or having that feeling of being stuck. It is not necessarily a bad thing. Very often, you are feeling stuck or feeling like procrastinating your next move. You’ve been putting it off something you’ve been wanting to do, but really can’t bring yourself to do at this time. It is not a bad thing. What it often means, is, that you are simply not ready yet. When you are ready to make your next move, you would know, and trust that knowing when it comes to you. But most of all, trust your feelings about it.
