Life Between Lives

August 18, 2026 Joseph Dewey

Life Between Lives

Reader: You mentioned Michael Newton’s regression hypnosis research. Have you read the book he wrote on his specific technique for this titled, “Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression”? And if so, is his procedure any better [or worse] than normal hypnosis techniques in terms of increasing susceptibility to hypnotism, eroding the will, or in any other respect?

JJ: I’ve read all his books and he uses a guided meditation technique similar to mine. This takes a lot longer than hypnosis techniques but it is safer and the subject stays in more control and can usually recall the whole experience. He may take a couple hours to get a subject in a state deep enough to see past or between lives correctly whereas hypnosis can do this in ten minutes with a good subject.

What I found interesting about his work is his subjects were quite consistent in the details they retrieved.

Reader: With which parts of his [Newton’s] teachings do you disagree?

How do you reconcile those disagreements against the consistency of detail

reported by his subjects?

JJ: I can’t say I disagree with anything that he brought forth that was verified by a number of subjects. I did disagree with some of his personal interpretations of his discoveries. For instance, he didn’t seem to think there were higher spheres, but there was evidence of them in some of his regressions.

I also do not agree with his interpretation of how people volunteer to be bad guys in life. I think the lesser evolved will see ahead – that they will do bad things in their next life but this is the result of a natural cause and effect, not because of a conscious decision before birth to be an abuser of some kind.

Reader: Is the Source mentioned by Newton God and what is meant by the person being recycled? How does that work?

JJ: That wasn’t from me but Dr. Newton. DK does elaborate on this though and tells us that when a person denies the soul time and time again that his personality bodies are dissolved and his essence sent back to the Source to start progression all over again.

Question: Does hypnosis then erode the “will” so to speak or a person’s decision-making ability in any way or JUST make them more susceptible to hypnotism?

JJ: Getting hypnotized a couple times will have little effect but if a person gets hypnotized regularly he becomes more susceptible and much easier to hypnotize. If a person were hypnotized enough he could be put in a trance against his will, even though many books on hypnosis says this is not possible.

Hypnosis does not seem to have much of an effect on the person’s decisions in the non-trance state though he may be more susceptible to suggestion.

Question: If a person is more susceptible to being hypnotized does that ALSO mean they will be more susceptible having [hypnotic type] suggestions implanted in OTHER ways such as via repetition of thought/belief, or zoning out while watching television, or etc?

JJ: Yes. Watching a commercial on TV puts a person in the first, but light stages of hypnosis.

Question: What exactly do you mean by “desired outcome”, doesn’t everybody desire an outcome? Do you mean if a person goes to be hypnotized and desires the outcome of learning about their past lives [or some other outcome] that it will then be more difficult to hypnotize that person? Or what exactly?

JJ: The left-brain people are much more difficult to hypnotize because they are always calculating with their minds, often seeking a desired outcome, and have difficulty in turning over their subconscious to another person.

Question: The point is, how do you know that you are not in Hell right now?

Actually, this earth life is the greatest hell. We suffer regrets in the spirit world but can do little to pay off our karma there. That is reserved for mortal life and often it can be quite painful.

Reader Comment: The ‘small quiet voice’ is not a voice at all and it does not speak any verbal words. I’m beginning to believe the phrase is very misleading.

The phrase should say: ‘a small quite impression’ or ‘ a small quite thought

impression’ that communicates an idea or concept. The soul has no voice and

speaks no physical language. If you hear a small quiet voice in your head that speaks a physical language; then it is not the soul.

JJ: Good point and you are technically correct. However, that “quiet impression’ is often translated into words by our mental facilities and this sometimes comes across as a quiet voice.

The problem is that “still small voice” has a better ring to it than “quiet impression.”

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like falling leaves. – John Muir

Big Government

August 16, 2026 Joseph Dewey

Big Government

A recent Gallup poll reveals that 54% believe the Federal government has too much power.

Thus, we have a slim majority who have a spark of common sense and desire for freedom for the individual. (Note from 2026. The most recent poll has the figure up to 62%)

The mystery is that some of these obviously have voted for many of the big government politicians we see in office today including the head guy. Believe it or not 36% of Democrats feel the government has too much power.

It’s a little disturbing that two years ago this figure was 59%.

On the bright side “forty-six percent of Americans said they agreed with the statement that the federal government poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens,’“

36% believe the government has about the right amount of power.

We have here over a third of our populace who are oblivious to the threat of big government. These are like ostriches with their heads in the sand.

The odd thing is that there are 8% of us who believe the government doesn’t have enough power. This 8% must be divided into two groups.

[1] Those who have a death wish.

[2] Those who aspire to political office. LINK

Reader: Is the size of government really such a relevant issue? When I hear people talk of smaller government, they really don’t have much more of anything valuable to say about the subject.

JJ: Not me and like-minded souls. I have lots to say about it and have said lots of things that I consider extremely valuable.

Reader: Smaller in what way?

JJ: Every way.

Reader: Some people who preach about smaller government prefer less power in the government only in some areas but more power in other areas or more power in institutions other than the government.

JJ: I’m definitely not your “some people.” Outside of having power to defend us I want the government smaller in every way. I’d be happy to see Congress in session less, not only making fewer laws but eliminating the useless and detrimental ones.

Reader: Perhaps the quantity of government isn’t as much of an important concern as is

the quality of government.

JJ: If government is too big then quality is a joke.

Here’s downright proof that big government trying to help us often does more harm than good. Here is a doctor who dropped out of the system propped up by government and decided to go on a cash only basis.

The results: His prices dropped by half.

Conclusion; Paperwork demanded by government increases medical costs by double. Read about this HERE

Reader: Sure, you inflate the government and it will overstep its boundaries. However, the government also becomes inflated due to incompetence. The notion that the only solution is to slash the government is simplifying the problem. It does not address the issue of incompetence within the government. It’s not like there are only two choices either. This seems to me to be a very simplified, black-and-white viewpoint mainly because there are varying ideas of what a “small government with maximum freedom” is.

JJ: The trouble is that government is always much more incompetent than private enterprise so it is always logical to make it as small as possible so the incompetence will be reduced to the smallest possible black hole. Trying to make the government more competent is like trying to make Bernie Madoff more responsible by giving him more money.

Perhaps it would be helpful to clarify the definition of government. Here are the first two main definitions of government from my online dictionary:

[1] the people who control a country, region, or city and make decisions about its laws and taxes

more…

[2] the members of the main political party in a legislature, or the members of the cabinet [=the group of politicians with the most important jobs] in a system with a legislature

http://onelook.com/?w=government&ls=a

According to the reader’s use of the word even a family would have a government because the parents impose discipline on the kids.

There is a huge difference between government and administrative authority that exists in groups, corporations and businesses. Here are a few:

[1] Scope of power. Government has power over the whole. Administrative authority has power over a small portion of the whole.

[2] Escape. You cannot escape the power of government. You can move to a different city, state or even country and you still cannot escape it’s reach. It is always there and you must abide by its rules and laws.

On the other hand, if you do not like a policy that Chevron is promoting you can just drop your support and buy from Shell. If you work for Chevron and are unhappy you can quit and sell “I Hate Chevron” Tee Shirts. You can’t quit government.

[3] Government has power to make laws which will result in fines and prison if you beak them. Administrative authority in businesses and groups have no such authority. They can make rules for the group but cannot imprison you if you break them. In some cases, they can legally fire you but you can then get another job somewhere else. On the other hand, you just can’t go out and get another country.

[4] Government has exclusive power to tax. Other organizations do not. Some groups such as unions impose dues for membership, but membership provides a service for which members willingly pay. You can refuse to pay your dues at any time and drop your membership and you will have no fear of going to jail. On the other hand, much of the money that we pay for income taxes does not bring back a just return in services.

[5] One of the legitimate jobs of government is to provide a defense and security for citizens. Other organizations are very limited in this regard. What they can do is controlled by government.

[6] The government has power over the money system and issues and regulates money. If any individual or business attempts to issue legal money they will be prosecuted by government.

Conclusion: Government and private administrative power are two entirely different animals.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.” – Ronald Reagan

Gathering Clarification

August 15, 2026 Joseph Dewey

Gathering Clarification

Looks like I need to clear up a few things about the gathering.

I see a lot of quotes lately from my book The Literal Gathering of Israel. I started writing this when I was still in the church in 1978 and was writing it to the members of the church. Thus I used Mormon language that would appeal to their mindset and used quotes that would appeal to their sense of authority.

Afterwards, I wrote The Gathering of Lights for the masses. In this I was freer to express myself more universally and more clearly present the purpose of the gathering.

One has to read the first through a filtering process with the realization that one has to present truth to the Mormons in a different context than other seekers to reach their core.

Now I’ll touch on a few of the points under discussion.

Is Susan doing the right thing in creating a gathering place on her own initiative?

It is certainly not in any of our power to declare that she has no right to do this. If she feels an impression from her soul to do this and moves ahead then she will receive many benefits, even if she fails. A failure in a work, taken to heart, is merely a step toward ultimate success.

A reader made a good comment on this:

“At least Susan is DOING something at Safe Haven and even if it turns out to NOT be an ‘official’ gathering point she is gaining a LOT of useful experience and learning sustainable living techniques.”

Question: Shouldn’t there be just one gathering place for all the lights?

It is true in early Mormon days there was one main gathering place, but even at that time there were other lesser places.

We can learn from studying the early Mormon experience, but those who seek to duplicate it line by line will be met with failure. We must continually follow the soul which leads us to new things and greener pastures. The gathering illustrates a principle and the core principle must always be sought. If this is done then we have the possibility of success.

There will be a time in the future where there will be a main gathering place for the lights but even here some of the lights will feel impressed to remain at other places on the planet.

If a person says he is doing a thing because he is following his soul it is not for us to judge. He may or may not be right, but we must allow him or her to move ahead without condemning them. Time will tell the sincere seeker whether or not his direction was correct.

Should I declare a gathering place for us?

It’s a little premature for that.

[1] There is no fund to buy lands let alone build upon them.

[2] There’s probably less than a half dozen in the group who would move from their homes and families even if we had a place for them.

We need an event that will bring these ideas to the attention of the masses so thousands will become interested in the gathering concept before we can build anything that will last.

Reader comment: Joseph Smith again verifies this: “BEFORE the tabernacle can be with men, the elect must be gathered from the four quarters of the earth.”

Before the “Tabernacle” can be with men…… or in other words….. Before the first Molecular Entity can be with men, the elect must be gathered from the four quarters of the Earth.

JJ: The tabernacle being with men is not associated with the creation of the molecule. Moses and the Israelites had the tabernacle with them in the wilderness, but there was no molecule.

Jesus created a molecule before there was a major gathering.

The gathering of lights on a major scale will cause a permeation of the Spirit of God among the people thus causing the tabernacle of God to be with men.

On the other hand, all we need for a molecule is 24 people capable of sustained soul contact. Such a molecule would have power to initiate a gathering.

The gathering principle is being picked up by many and there are those planning on building communities on the sea. Another group with resources is thinking of buying a large plot of land in the Honduras and creating their own free society. This idea will continue to grow until something significant occurs.

Question: Can you clarify what you mean by this statement: “We may have to gather thousands before we find the 24 capable of creating the first molecule.”

I said “we may have to”. On the other hand, we may not. We may get lucky and create a molecule from the group we are creating here in the Keys. We will sift through thousands as we already have on the internet, that’s for sure.

The difficulty is that there are only a few who have the soul contact and other qualities necessary to create the first molecule. To find 24 such souls require a sifting through many thousands.

A molecule would have power to initiate a gathering but a gathering may be underway before a molecule is formed.

A reader was questioning the wisdom of Susan creating a gathering place on her own initiative, as it is not spearheaded by me or the Keys group in general.

As far as seeing eye to eye with Susan on her project I indeed support it completely. If I were in charge of it I’m sure some of the details would be different, but that is of no moment. At best she will create a safe haven for people in that area and at worst it will be a learning experience.

I have had no revelation on the major gathering place. At present I feel impressed to stay in Boise and work with people on the internet and locals. When we are ready to gather the place will be manifest.

Here is one of my favorite Mormon scriptures around individual initiative:

“For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. Verily, I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward. But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.” D&C 58:26-29

Perfectionism is the enemy of creation, as extreme self-solicitude is the enemy of well-being. – John Updike

Going to Hell

August 14, 2026 Joseph Dewey

Going to Hell

I remember JJ saying that hell can be created by a person’s own mind after death.

Question: A few people have reported going to Hell during NDE’s and claims it is real. Is Hell real and do Evil people go to Hell?

Where in the afterlife do the really Evil people go and what place is it like where you find Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi of Libya, Stalin and murderers and the like? What that place like to them?

JJ: Any hell a person experiences after death is created in his mind in this mortal life, not the afterlife.

There has been a lot of research done to determine the after death state. Among these are:

[1] Near Death experiences.

[2] Channeling people who have passed over.

[3] Regression of people to their experiences of the between life state.

[4] Visions

The problem is that all of these methods have produced conflicting results. Some say that there is no punishment or any kind of hell after death while others paint a pretty bleak picture for the ungodly.

I think that the most accurate information has been obtained by hypnosis which has taken people into the between lives state. The interesting thing about this research is the information revealed by many subjects is quite consistent.

Michael Newton led the research on this and has written several books on what he has discovered. One thing I found interesting is that there is some information that the subjects were forbidden to reveal to the living. Newton tried to get around this by tricking the subjects into answering and sometimes he was successful.

He tells us that a very negative person after death carries the negativity with him but specially trained people work with these types and try to salvage them. If they reconnect with soul energies then they will go to work preparing for their next life where they hope to improve their situation. If the person cannot be salvaged then he is returned to the Source to be recycled.

He also verifies that we have a Higher Self that co-exists in the spirit world even while we are incarnated on the earth.

Many people who we see as bad guys, in their own minds, thought they were doing the right thing. These people will have to confront their mistakes after death and gain a sense of the pain and suffering they caused. This will cause a temporary hell for them. Even so, if they have a desire to do good, even though mislead, they will be worked with and spiritual teachers will attempt to redirect their consciousness and goals.

Re: Normalcy Bias

This normalcy thing is a reason so many otherwise intelligent people fail so miserably at predicting the future. They base all their data on what has been normal in the past and this rarely applies to any long-term future.

Jimmy Carter, for instance, predicted we would run out of oil within a decade of his presidency. Bill Gates at one time thought we’d never need more than 2 MB of Ram. Almost all psychics thought WWII would not happen.

A reader points out the dangers, we as a careless society, face and preparations that we can take. I will add this. The Brotherhood of Light does everything within their power to guide us into the new age in such a way that the innocent will not suffer because of great calamities. They realize that karma and cause and effect can create much suffering that the careless and selfish can bring upon themselves. But it touches the heart of God when the pure in heart suffer because of the action of those whose intent is not pure.

One of the purposes of the gathering is to shield true seekers from pain and suffering they do not deserve. Unfortunately, we are approaching a time of danger and no gathering is in place. If a calamity occurs in the near future even those ho have done their best to prepare will not be prepared.

It has been the hope, as the new age approaches, that great calamities can be delayed until places of refuge are created. The best case scenario is that reasonable relations are established between the nations and we move into the new age without major calamities. We live in times where that seems unlikely to many but it is still a possibility.

Let us hope the door to evil will be closed and the pure in heart will flourish on the hills of Zion.

Eventually we will have earth changes that cannot be entirely avoided with good will, but that is another matter we will eventually deal with.

Mother Earth Correspondences

A reader gave the following quote from me:

If we correspond the earth to a greater human life we can arrive at some more interesting correspondences.

Minor earthquake = The earth is scratching an itch.

Medium earthquake = The earth is scratching a major itch.

Big earthquake = Comparable to a human trying to relieve himself from poison ivy.

Small volcano = Pimple or blackhead.

Major volcano = A boil.

A storm = Irritation

A hurricane = Anger

A tornado = Intense directed anger

A Tsunami = A chiropractic adjustment.

Then she asks: “Why did Mother Earth have “intense directed anger” with the tornado in Oklahoma (in 2013)? Or did the people also manifest this to some degree?”

The first thing to note is that correspondences in a case like this are loosely made and are not to be taken too literally. Even so, correspondences are always there to be found and contemplating on them will always bring some enlightenment.

Secondly, to understand the earth’s reaction that affected the people of Oklahoma we need to again apply The Law of Correspondences.

Think of how small individual people are in relation to the planet. We are like tiny bacteria in comparison to the size of the planet.

Now let us relate this to ourselves. Let us suppose you had an itch. When you scratch do you give any thought to the bacteria you may be killing in the process?

If you are angry at yourself and slap yourself in the face are you thinking about the lives of the cells you are disrupting?

Not really.

Even so, the earth was not angry with the people of Oklahoma nor was their welfare in its mind when the tornado erupted. Events like this are a part of its reaction to life on its own plane.

Just like the lives in our body have to adjust to our actions and feelings, even so do we humans have to adjust to the life of the earth as it manifests.

Yes, human emotions can influence some weather anomalies but we are merely an influence, not the total cause. There are storms on Mars yet there are no humans on its surface.

He who mistrusts most should be trusted least. – Theognis

What Not to Do

August 13, 2026 Joseph Dewey

What Not to Do

A reader said something interesting the other day. He said that the dark side ignorantly allows themselves to be tools in the hands of the light.

This is quite true when you think about it. When we think of the worst bad guy in our history Hitler usually comes to mind. But as bad as he was, he taught us a lot. Most of it was what not to do.

Many do not realize that learning what not to do or what to avoid is just as essential as learning what to do.

For instance, before Hitler became a threat Eugenics was being strongly promoted in the United States and much of the world. Many were promoting the idea that undesirables should be sterilized and only the elite should be allowed to reproduce.

In theory this sounded good to many but in practice Hitler demonstrated that the idea could be strongly abused. On his undesirable list were the Jews and he set out to cleanse the human race by completely exterminating them.

Thus Hitler’s rampant abuse of this idea caused almost all countries to shelve it after the war.

This unjust targeting idea is still with us though as demonstrated by the revelation that the IRS has been targeting innocent people and political opponents of those in power. This abuse of power by the IRS has put the fear of God in both sides of the aisle.

It sounds like some have learned a little from history for we have all heard the statement attributed to pastor Martin Niemiller

First they came for the communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the socialists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Catholic.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

The evils of World War II gave us a good lesson telling us that love and brotherhood are more powerful instruments of change than brute force.

Apparently, there is still much for us to learn in this department and our dear leaders and overseers are all too willing to teach us.

This same reader gives an interesting account worthy of comment. He once had an out of body experience where he communicated with his mom. The unusual thing is she was awake in the physical and he was out of his body.

After he entered back in his body he confronted his mom thinking he would talk about the conversation but she had no knowledge or recollection of it.

What’s the answer here? Did he imagine the conversation?

Not likely.

The answer is that not all of our consciousness is condensed within our physical body or even our three bodies of form. We incarnate with an average of 25% of our essence and leave the rest in the spiritual realm in the causal body. This explains why you can sometimes have a spiritual encounter or a vivid dream of a living person who is awake and has no memory of the event. This also explains why numerous people have reported vivid dreams of encounters with me when I have no memory of it.

He evidently contacted part of his Mom’s consciousness not registered with her body and thus the conversation was not registered with her physical brain. Even so, it was still her he talked to.

The whole of our consciousness is connected to soul energy and is often called our higher self. Most of our prayers are handled by our own selves, just the part of us that still resides in the higher worlds.

Question: So we are really praying to our own Monad? [Father in Heaven].

JJ: Indirectly. Most seekers have a long way to go to reach the Monad. Soul contact creates a link with the Solar Angel and your Higher Self which is merely a stepping stone to monadic consciousness but still a long way to go.

Your Higher Self is linked to your solar angel and your essence linked with it so prayers can reach these. Sometimes they are picked up by helpful entities.

Question: And the higher entity that incarnates into a human molecule is the group’s higher self and higher consciousness and Intelligence? Yes?

JJ: Yes and no. This will be a group consciousness representing the merging of the higher selves within the group itself. Think of humans merging their intelligence to create AI which then has abilities beyond any individual.

Actually, the saying of higher and lower self is not quite technically correct. We think of the part of ourselves that resides in the higher spheres as a higher self but the part of ourselves that is down here is a part of the one entity which is you or me. The part of ourselves that is in the spirit world just has more access and knowledge of what’s going on.

Question: This all makes me worry about the dark brothers. What about their Solar Angel and what about their Monad?

JJ: The Dark Brothers have severed their link with the soul and monad and, thus, cut off from the source of life, are in a process of slow disintegration.

If things were really as we wanted them to be, people would still complain that they were no longer what they used to be. – Pierre Dac

Spiritual Tones

August 12, 2026August 12, 2026 Joseph Dewey

Spiritual Tones

A mentioned earlier by a reader, L Ron Hubbard came up with a tone scale. The basic idea is that the higher our tone the higher will be our quality of life and vibration. For instance, low on the scale are grief, pain, hate and hostility. High on the scale are cheerfulness, enthusiasm and exhilaration.

The problem with this approach is that most of us go through a range of these tones and it would be difficult to define any one person as always giving off the tone of hate, on one hand, or exhilaration on the other. While it may be true that some get stuck in one tone, most of us go through a range of them. Those who are bipolar can switch on a dime.

It appears to me that these tones mentioned are associated with the personality which is a part of us sometimes called the “not self.” This personality is like a leaf floating in the astral currents and floats up and down in the tones. Those who say their tone does not go up or down with the currents of life are deceiving themselves. Now some may have a higher average tone than others but all will vary in personality tone throughout the day, the month and the year.

The interesting thing to consider is that the quality of one’s life for the seeker or disciple is not determined by the tone of the personality. One who sees the personality as the “not self” and looks at it from the vantage point of the observer derives his quality of life by other means. Here is my own scale of spiritual tones starting at the bottom and moving up.

[1] The personality centered individual who sees happiness as being associated with what happens to him or his situation in the personality world.

Quality of life score: 1-10, depending on his current state. Over 90% of humanity is in this category.

[2] The Seeker. This person begins to realize that there is more to life than personality ups and downs. There is more out there for him in the spiritual realm and he begins a quest. His life now has a higher purpose than it did before.

Quality of life score: 11-30 depending on his focus.

[3] He who has achieved some soul contact. He is joyful to prove to himself that spiritual contact is real. He just wishes he had more of it.

Quality of life score: 31-50

[4] The soul infused person. This person never feels like the soul and spiritual world is far from him but has a consistent contact that brings him peace and inner joy.

Quality of life score: 51-70

[5] Access to the Oneness Principle, Higher Purpose and his inner group. This is a servant of humanity and the greater the opportunity to serve the greater his joy and peace.

Quality of life score: 71-100

[6] Conscious blending, merging and working with higher lives.

Quality of life score: Through the roof.

Thus we can see that the guy who thinks he is on top of the world because he won the lottery is merely in category one and there is much more awaiting him as he moves forward.

Some move beyond category one for a while and then sink back down and get caught in defining their happiness by personality events. A metaphysical view of being saved is a releasing oneself from the dominion of the personality.

Question: I know the soul speaks in principles but wouldn’t the soul give clear step by step instructions to an initiate?

JJ: The soul does not outline a step-by-step plan for any of us. We have to contemplate our next step and how to accomplish it and run it by the soul. If what we are thinking is the right direction then we will get the go ahead, but even here we have to work out the details.

I know what my next step is and have been working on it for many years. I am to gather enough soul infused people to create a molecule. It is a difficult step and there are numerous smaller steps in between.

A major step was getting some basic teachings written and available. Another step, which hasn’t happened yet, is that they will permeate into mass consciousness so we can have a larger pool from which to draw.

As far as next steps for an initiate go, think of Abraham Lincoln. It was verified through his soul that he could not let slavery stand in a divided country. He therefore received verification from his soul to save the union and free the slaves if at all possible. He knew what he had to do but was given no road map to do it. He had to figure things out along the way. Many times, he was very frustrated and it looked like he may lose the quest but he persevered and managed to take his next great step. Not all disciples are so successful and have to come back in a future life to finish the work or take another.

A lie has speed, but truth has endurance. – Edgar J. Mohn

Teaching without Attachment

August 11, 2026 Joseph Dewey

Teaching without Attachment

Question: When you give out teachings or get into a debate over any particular issue, is it done without any attachment to results? [no ‘desire’ in you for the other person to see sense and change so to speak]. The emphasis is on the word ‘desire’.

JJ: There is a lot of illusion and glamour around the idea often presented in new age circles that we should not be attached to the results of our work.

I have been accused of this a number of times by smug finger-pointers who see themselves as being on higher ground because they see themselves as having no such attachments.

The first thing we need to do to answer your question is to look at the core true principle and how it is supposed to play out. The basic true principle is centered around the idea of us, as individuals, being the observer, as if we were watching a movie rather than being totally immersed in everything that is happening. This viewpoint allows us to handle the ups and downs of life more dispassionately and objectively and avoid an excessive amount of emotional attachment.

If you lose the love of your life you may be devastated for many years but if the character you identify with in a movie loses his then you are only upset for a small time and move on.

The fact is that no intelligent being in the universe is totally detached from the results of his work. The next person who announces with an air of superiority that he is not attached to the results of his work needs to be asked this question. “Since you are not attached to the results of your work and one of those results is a regular paycheck does this mean you will be willing to work for free from now and on just turn your check over to me?”

“That’s different,” he may say.

But it’s not different. The money we get from our labors in this life is definitely one of the results and all of us are somewhat attached to getting enough money on which to survive.

The idea of not being attached to the results of our labors is only true as far as it applies to placing ourselves in the seat of the observer. This is a huge aid in dealing with the ups and downs of life.

If one is overly attached to his job and the money it pays then he will be devastated if he is fired. If he sees himself as the observer, he will still be somewhat upset but will deal much more effectively with the problem.

That said I will answer your question. When I argue with a person yes, I do desire or him to see the light behind my point of view. If I didn’t desire this then I would not even be presenting my case.

Does it ruin my day when he is not moved or convinced at all? No. Not at all. It is a numbers game like shooting free shots. You know you are not going to make them all but if you hit a certain percentage, you figure it is worthwhile to make the attempt.

Then there is an extra bonus to being able to assume the attitude of the observer. When something bad happens, you can detach yourself from the emotional turmoil, but when something good happens you can decide to not be so detached and immerse yourself in temporary happiness. It’s a win win.

Question: Do we all have to be physically gather ed on one place to create the molecular link?

(My answer from 2026) In my answer back in 2013 I expressed the view that a physical gathering was necessary, since that is what happened at the day of Pentecost, but after experiencing spiritual links with others through Zoom videos I am now of the opinion that the link can be created using internet connections and contact through the Oneness Principle.

Tone Scale

I just finished reading a biography of L. Ron Hubbard. In it his son notes that he created a “tone scale.” This is, “a scale which plots the descending spiral of life from full vitality and consciousness through half-vitality and half-unconsciousness down to death. . . from the highest to the lowest. . . .”

The tone scale is as follows:[1]

40.0 Serenity of beingness

30.0 Postulates

22.0 Games

20.0 Action

8.0 Exhilaration

6.0 Aesthetic

4.0 Enthusiasm

3.5 Cheerfulness

3.3 Strong interest

3.0 Conservatism

2.9 Mild interest

2.8 Contented

2.6 Disinterested

2.5 Boredom

2.4 Monotony

2.0 Antagonism

1.9 Hostility

1.8 Pain

1.5 Anger

1.4 Hate

1.3 Resentment

1.2 No sympathy

1.15 Unexpressed resentment

1.1 Covert hostility

1.02 Anxiety

1.0 Fear

0.98 Despair

0.96 Terror

0.94 Numb

0.9 Sympathy

0.8 Propitiation

0.5 Grief

0.375 Making amends

0.3 Undeserving

0.2 Self-abasement

0.1 Victim

0.07 Hopeless

0.05 Apathy

0.03 Useless

0.01 Dying

0.0 Body death

– 0.01 Failure

– 0.1 Pity

– 0.2 Shame

– 0.7 Accountable

– 1.0 Blame

– 1.3 Regret

– 1.5 Controlling bodies

– 2.2 Protecting bodies

– 3.0 Owning bodies

– 3.5 Approval from bodies

– 4.0 Needing bodies

– 5.0 Worshipping bodies

– 6.0 Sacrifice

– 8.0 Hiding

-10.0 Being objects

-20.0 Being nothing

-30.0 Can’t hide

-40.0 Total failure

I think Dr David Hawkins gives a more enlightened list:

In his book “Power vs. Force,” he provides the results from a study of the vibrations we hold in different states of consciousness, emotion and perceptions.

This is a very short synopsis of some of the basic information you will find in “Power vs. Force” and Dr. Hawkins’ work.

The chart below is a listing of emotions and consciousness with a corresponding number that is attributed to the vibration of those emotions and perspectives. The higher number, the higher the vibration. The lower the number, the lower the vibration.

Shame/Humiliation 20

Guilt/Blame 30

Grief/Regret 75

Fear / Anxiety 100

Desire/Craving 125 (based in a more of lack consciousness)

Anger/Hate 150

Pride/Scorn 175

Courage/Affirmation 200

Neutrality/Trust 250

Willingness/Optimism 310

Acceptance/Forgiveness 350

Reason/Understanding 400

Love/Reverence 500

Joy/Serenity 540

Peace/Bliss 600

Enlightenment/Ineffable 700-1000

The work of Dr. Hawkins further states:

Your vibration alone (not your direct actions) impacts humanity as follows

~ One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of Optimism and a willingness to be nonjudgmental of others will counterbalance the negativity of 90,000 individuals who calibrate at the lower weakening levels.

~One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of pure love and reverence for all of life will counterbalance the negativity of 750,000 individuals who calibrate at the lower weakening levels.

~One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of the illumination, bliss, and infinite peace will counterbalance the negativity of 10 million people who calibrate to lower weakening levels. (approximately 22 such sages are alive today… but don’t let this stop you!)

Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin. – John Lubbock

Babylon vs Christianity

August 10, 2026 Joseph Dewey

Babylon vs Christianity

A former Scientologist says this: Scientology also draws from early Hinduism, Buddhism, the Kybalion, and the Kabballah among others. So, it is incorrect if a person were to say it is completely on the left-hand path. What I find to be on the left-hand path are some of the recent teachings and practices of the Church of Scientology, but there are many independent researchers on the Internet, who were involved with Hubbard in the early days or have gone back to his original research to discover where he went wrong and correct it.

JJ: On a note of interest, I just read that L Ron Hubbard Jr. said that his dad got a lot of his early ideas from reading Science and Sanity by Count Alfred Korzybski. Few innovators are entirely original in their ideas. Even Einstein was accused of borrowing a lot from others.

It would probably be useful to clarify at this point that the left-hand path refers to a path that takes you to a certain end which is the opposite of life and the right hand path takes you to greater livingness. Those on either path are not totally wrong or totally right.

A person or organization who directs you toward the left hand can incorporate many things that are true. For instance, let us say two cars are headed to the same place and reach a fork with no destination signs. One takes the right hand road that leads to the desired destination and the other takes the left, which eventually heads over a cliff.

As the two are traveling the two paths they are both moving onward using true principles. Each of their cars uses the same combustion engines, the same gas the same tires and the road below appears a lot the same. Both are enjoying the creations of God in the scenery, the trees, the animals and vegetation. It is only as both reach their destination that the real truth becomes obvious.

Even so, a person of the blackest dye and darkest soul will use and accept many things that are true and correct in his navigation. This doesn’t mean he is functioning in the light of the soul. The true disciple will seek out roadmaps, study and contemplate until the right-hand path is discerned so he moves forward not by luck but by design.

Unfortunately, in our present society just about every group and individual is mostly controlled by the brothers of the left hand for the whole world wonders after the beast and do not buy or sell without his approval. Only a small number at this time have the Father’s name in the forehead and knowingly follow the right hand path.

The situation is that some organizations are just more strongly left hand than others.

Fortunately, it is the destiny of humanity to awaken to the light and seek the right-hand path. 60% will do this when civilization matures on this planet.

A reader makes the mistake of claiming that Christian churches are the good guys [apparently on the right hand path] and just about all others in league with the Nazis including DK.

The truth is that just about all organizations, including Christian churches, are under the control of the Left-hand path. The only difference is in the degree. Some restrict freedom and control with unjust authority more than others.

Our friend attacks DK as being on the side of evil when he is one of the few who consistently supported the light and fought evil. Here are a few of his teachings.

[1] He was one of the few teachers who was against Hitler and the Nazis clear from the beginning – before it was obvious he was a monster. Many religious people and metaphysical groups thought he was a good guy before the war started.

Jesus said a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand so if DK was in bed with the Nazis then he kingdom of evil was divided against itself.

[2] When the U.N. was formed DK said it was a mistake to allow tyrannical governments to join.

[3] The reader rightly points out the problem with the idea of relative truth, but DK taught many absolute truths and rejected many relativists such as the pacifists during World War II, and many others who are not grounded in sound and stable doctrine.

[4] DK supported the principle of freedom. The beast always seeks to limit or take away freedom.

[5] DK emphasized soul contact which frees us from the mark of the beast.

Yes Christianity is under attack because it still supports some elements of freedom and many Christians support the freedoms espoused in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Even so, the organizations are run by authoritarian leaders that support the overall power of the Beast.

The demarcation of good and evil right now is found in the power of individuals and the few individuals who are actively fighting for greater freedom are those who follow the inner Christ, not an outer one.

The Controlling Principle

Question: Are you saying it is often not wise to reveal the other guy’s blind spot as it may discourage him? Can it not also be helpful?

JJ: When I heard the first recording of my voice screeching in a terrible falsetto it was a shock to my system to be sure, but a necessary one. It hurt at the time but was a great life lesson as it made me consider criticism later on much more than I may have otherwise.

Yes, a valid criticism taken to heart is very useful but the problem is that criticisms whether they be valid or invalid, justified or not, usually have a negative effect and make the person feel attacked and resentful. Even in this group of friends I have to be very careful how I phrase anything that may sound even remotely critical as it can cause hurt feelings.

The Dale Carnegie book that mentioned gives some of the best advice in handling this. He points out that criticism should be meted out very sparingly but when it is deemed necessary then the person must act. He should warm the person up by saying something good about him first so he knows you are not coming across in an attack mode.

Let us say, for instance, that a friend’s coarse language bothers you. Instead of saying, “Shut up! You sound like the demon spawn right of the pits of hell.” One should say something like this.

“You have a talent expressing yourself and putting your point across. I think you could have greater impact though if you substituted some of your salty language with words that people would not take as offensive.”

Of course, there is a time and place for everything. When the inner self approves, sometimes you have to let the guy have the blast from both barrels as my Dad did with me, showing no mercy. This should be a rare event, however.

For those who liked Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” I would recommend the lesser known, “How to Sell Yourself to Others,” by Elmer Wheeler. I read them both way back in high school and they changed my life.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch. Nay, you may kick it about all day, and it will be round and full at evening. – Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

Aleister Crowley Handwriting Analysis

August 8, 2026 Joseph Dewey

Aleister Crowley Handwriting Analysis

I’ve taken a look at Aleister Crowley’s handwriting and will make some comments.

You can check out samples also so you can see what I am referring to.

His regular handwriting can be seen in this sample: LINK

His signature can be found HERE:

I won’t give a complete analysis but will point out several things that stand out.

His up strokes are very far forward which combined with the bend in his letters indicates a lack of control over his emotions. One of his main philosophies was “Do what thou wilt.” He liked this idea because he didn’t really want to control himself but desired to go with the flow, wherever that was taking him.

Notice that the direction of his handwriting points downward. I’ve looked at several samples and all but one does this. This indicates a strong pessimism or depression for a highly emotional person. He was reported to have said that he hated himself on his deathbed and maybe he did feel that way at times.

For a highly emotional person he was also quite intelligent and intuitive in the standard sense of the word. He was a quick thinker and probably a good speaker, never at a loss for words. He had strong passion and could stimulate people on an emotional and mental level at the same time.

It shows that he was not good art keeping secrets, unless it was personally important to him. His life verifies this as he revealed the secrets of The Golden Dawn, an esoteric organization that he joined.

His signature is interesting. Notice the two capital letters of his name A and C. In standard writing they do not go below the baseline but Crowley forces both of these letters far into the lower zone, even farther than his Y, which normally does go to the lower zone.

This tells us that the material side of life was of great importance to him. In his private thoughts he reflected on all aspects of life but when he mingled with the masses, he became very carnal and material in focus.

Notice how his letters move all over the place in his signature. This tells us that he was always trying to think outside the box and because of his material focus he wasn’t afraid to embrace out of the box thinking if it moved beyond the bounds of normal acceptance.

He had a surprisingly normal ego but on an intellectual level he saw himself as a person of great importance. This feeling of importance was created more by illusion than a big ego.

When he wanted something he pursued it with great vigor.

Under normal circumstances he was quite honest but would lie when it served his purposes.

I found a couple interesting links to the guy. Apparently some believe that as a young boy he was Jack the Ripper and others that he caused the deaths of those who opened King Tut’s tomb.

An audio biography on Crowley can be found HERE:

Reader comment: It was in the Thule Society that Hitler met those who would help him take over Germany and wage the Second World War. Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, Martin Bormann, Dietrich Eckart, Alfred Rosenberg, and Hermann Goering were all said to be members. It was these, along with Hitler, who used the Thule Society – and it’s inner sect the Vril Society – to launch and promote the Nazi Party.

JJ: Interesting information. It is interesting that DK said that there were seven people in Hitler’s inner group that laid the foundation to his power. You named six and with Hitler makes seven. Seems to have been a dark molecule.

Reader: Another problem is these higher energies can filter down and stimulate the carnal nature. I believe that is why you see a lot of spiritual leaders fall prey to their carnal side, because of this over stimulation of their lower natures.

JJ: This is an interesting observation for many spiritual leaders and progressive thinkers have fallen prey to their lower passions. I’ve been reading more about L. Ron Hubbard and discovered he had an insatiable sexual appetite. Kennedy’s numerous affairs are widely known as well as FDR. Early Mormon leaders had multiple wives. Solomon, the best that God could conjure up to build his temple, had 1000 wives and concubines. Blavatsky was a chain smoker etc

On the other hand, others seemed to keep passions under control such as Lincoln, Churchill, AAB and of course, Jesus.

Money and power also present tremendous temptations to advanced entities.

Reader: Were there numerous Adams and Eves because of each root race had it’s beginning in an Adam/Atom and Eve, or because some of these experiments to seed Earth failed?

JJ There have been numerous correspondences to the Adam and Eve story at the beginning of the various root races and subraces. It has also happened several times after great destruction. Accompanying every move forward has been dark forces attempting to frustrate it.

When you err on the side of evil, you’re on the wrong side. – Jill Leigh
