me the pipe, he began showing me images of
all I'd seen throughout my journey to date.
"It's so beautiful," I replied, "I'm so blessed
and so grateful. To think how many people
would die to see what I've seen." Chief
Joseph looked very serious. "To think how
many people have to die, to see what you've
seen." "What do you mean?" I asked.
"People do not reach for it, until they die.
They do not think of it, until they die. And
many who do are not willing to become
energetically responsible, to give up their
existence as a glorified part, and become a
part of the one." Intrigued, I asked, "But
why, why is that Joseph?"
Becoming very upset, his face
showed an intensity of emotion I'd never
seen in him before, as his eyebrows wrinkled
in worry. "Because they refuse to see, they
refuse to reach, they refuse to change, and
most of all, they refuse to care! They do not
recognize that which has value, it has to be
given to them in such a way that precludes
their own discernment." Pausing, he looked
at me as I absorbed the deep impact of that
truth. Beginning to lighten, he said, "This is
why those of you who are willing to see,
reach, change and care become so important.
