And what lies at the other end of the buffer zone?
What lies at the other end of the buffer zone is segregation – not segregation that is imposed on the souls by anyone from the spirit worlds or by God – but segregation that is imposed on the soul by its actions whilst in an earthly body and by its beliefs whilst in an earthly body.
So there is a collection point and there is a delivery point (both of these things being an illusion but everything is an illusion, everything is a construct) and we have to go with a certain sequence of events in order to placate and comfort and direct the majority (unfortunately) of souls. There is a collection point, there is a cleansing process through the effects of the buffer zone and then there is a delivery, there is a destination – but it is only an initial destination. For many it will be a shore, for many it will be an airport, for many it will be a train station or a bus station or the far bank of a river, and there they will find that they disembark from the vehicle that has come to collect them.
What happens next will be the subject of the next chapter – assuming that in my old head I can get things in a linear sequence. There is so much to pack into this volume and it must flow in a logical sequence because I am taking the readers on a journey from a point where they do not know about death to a point where they know about death, where they are going to and what to expect in relative terms – because what to expect is tuned to the needs and expectations of each individual soul.
At this point is there anything that you would like to ask regarding either what has been said today or what has been said in chapters previous to this one?
David: Joseph, would you like to comment on rescue workers who are incarnated on Earth that help in that transition – is it because they are of a similar vibration to the soul that is about to pass over that they can help to lead them into that buffer zone?
Joseph: Are you referring to incarnate souls or the spirits who come to ease the transition from the spiritual side of life?
David: Incarnate souls – such as myself and Michael, who have been involved in rescue work at night when we are asleep.
Joseph: In answering your question we have to enter the individual zones that souls put around themselves (not the greater or group-zone that I have been speaking about today) because many souls trap themselves within some of the circumstances we have been speaking about: the expectation that life continues as it is even after physical death; or there are souls who find themselves linked to traumatic events to such an extent that those events replay around them; or there are souls who do not deserve (…deserve is the wrong word) – do not need to go to the Lower Astral but trap themselves in an individual Lower Astral or astral plane of their own making for a time. You must remember that each of you is a god, each of you is part of God and each of you is (to a lesser or a greater extent, dependent on your experience) capable of creating around you your own reality. So there are those souls who, unconsciously and on the point of transition, continue to create reality to such an extent that higher souls cannot reach them because they are using a similar energy to that inherent in the Field on Earth to extend their experience of physical life.
In such circumstances it is felt that someone who is on the Earth is better able to reach those souls than someone of a higher vibration. It is very difficult for souls of a higher vibration to penetrate these individual realities and make themselves seen and interact with the souls who have created these bubbles of continuous individual-reality. Someone who is in an earthly body can penetrate more easily (particularly in sleep-state) one of these bubbles, because the vibration of the Field that they are in and the vibration of the bubble that the trapped soul has placed itself in are very similar. So the trapped soul can see this person entering their dream, entering their reality and talking to them, and then higher beings and more illuminated souls can transmit information to the rescue soul (who is still incarnate on Earth) to persuade the soul that has trapped itself in a bubble of continued individual-reality to drop its barriers and to let go of the continuance of the illusion that it has placed itself in. Then, when the barrier is down, the soul is received into the buffer zone and the process that happens for most souls can happen to it.
It is a question of vibration, and a soul that is still in a physical body can more easily reach a soul who may have made the transition but is still within a reality-bubble that is close in vibration to the vibration of the physical Field. Do you understand this?
David: Oh, yes. I thought it might be of interest to the readers.
Joseph: I am hopeful [laughing] that everything will be of interest to the readers!
I must not diversify too much but you can say that the books are rescue vehicles or ‘rescue souls’ because the books are preparing people for transitions – both at the point of death and also on a daily basis. That is the point of the books: to give this information in a way that is not lecturing and in a way that is interesting to get people to let down those barriers so that our job is made easier at the point of transition, but also easier during their lives in Earth in that, as guides, we can reach them more easily through their intuition and effect the change that must come about within the physical Field. The physical Field is a trap – so much of a trap on so many levels: on an emotional level, on a material level… even on a spiritual level, because so many of your religions are spiritual traps (‘spiritual’ is the wrong word – they purport to be spiritual but are traps). They trap people in bubbles of perceived reality that are nothing to do with the greater reality. We have to tear these barriers down and it is hoped that the books will do this.
Who would ask a question?
Jane: If we create our own individual realities, in the case of a religious fanatic (and there have been many examples throughout history) who persecuted people and committed terrible atrocities in their belief that it was in the name of God and that they would be rewarded in Heaven, what is to stop that person living in a ‘heaven’ of their own creation and being perfectly happy there when they pass over?
Joseph: Many do but only for a time because within the layers of consciousness that make up that soul there is the God-point, and the God-point will always manifest itself eventually. This may take a great deal of time; it may take thousands of years but eventually the conscience (you call it conscience but it is really divine consciousness) must manifest itself. In an ideal world (and we are working towards an ideal world) this is something that is the property of each soul. In an ideal world you would not need guides; in an ideal world you would not need the advice of others but you have not reached that point yet and so we have to send people in to suggest and to say, ‘I have found this way and you can too.’
I understand what you are saying and it expands on what I was saying about traps. One of the greatest traps is to say, ‘I am in Heaven and I have my reward’ but eventually that view of Heaven and that reward become boring because there is nothing else; there is nothing outside that limited view of what Heaven or the reward will be like. There is no influence from another soul saying, ‘Yes, I agree with you, you are in Heaven.’ How can there be? Outside that bubble there are souls who are saying, ‘For goodness sake, come to your senses because we need you to move on!’ So the sweetest ‘heaven’ and the sweetest reward (as created by an individual soul) has to eventually dim and, as a soul lives within its own reality, if that reality is based on the lower molecules of the Earth Field then there has to come a time when that energy runs out and the soul finds itself in the limbo that I have been taking about. At that point it can either decide to retreat within itself or it can listen to the souls who come to talk to it and try to move it on.
We will talk about realities as we progress through the spheres but we are talking today about those temporary realities that souls place around themselves, and extensions of those ‘realities’. (You understand now why this book is going to be so complex and so big because there are roots off that all need to be examined.) So, yes, there are people
