If they were to come together in one statement, one sound, they would speak of the original truth or the First Sound. I am an American Indian from Southeastern Idaho.

Joseph Paradise is a spirit who speaks through Henry Paradise, an American Indian man from a brother–tribe to my own. I know it is peculiar to say my teacher is a spirit, an intangible entity, but that is the truth. The spirit or the spirit world has long been acknowledged by the people I come from. American Indian people pray to the spirit in all things. The message in this book, however, is not American Indian spirituality as it is practiced by American Indians today. The idea of the spirit as an intangible, intelligent entity in all things is very ancient. The spirit has been known by many names in as many different cultures. Joseph equates the word spirit with the word God, but not the one God of Christianity as it is understood today. Joseph is Henry’s personal god or spirit residing in Henry’s subconscious part as an intangible, intelligent entity speaking through Henry. © Tzó-Nah Fund. All rights reserved.

The words spirit wisdom–knowledge. Henry comes down from the mountains and and God have different reference points for each person. In this begins a mission he is unaware will deliver him to “open” to his book, god and spirit are used interchangeably as are the words subconscious mind, his spirit–soul or his god, Joseph. subconscious mind, god–mind, spirit–mind, spirit–soul, and The “command mission” Henry undertakes is a trial–test spirit–being. All these words refer to the intelligence of the Whole and tribulation urged upon by his spirit–soul. Henry’s physical True God spoken of in Christianity, but not necessarily God as He body, through the emotions and fears, puts him in a trance state is understood by Christianity. Joseph, as Henry’s spirit or god, he calls “lucifed” for Lucifer or the Devil. This struggle between distinguishes Christianity’s God as the sum of the personal gods good and evil, or the positive and negative energies in all humans, or spirits as One Whole God. is the test Henry goes through to open to his god, Joseph. Henry’s Joseph defnes the spirit or god as a vibratory thought god and Henry’s devil, or his emotions and fears, test him until, carried on light coming from out in the universe. The thought in despair, he throws himself in front of a car and dies. After vibration is engraved into the atoms in our earth’s atmosphere, death, Joseph brings Henry back to life. Henry returning to life the same atoms we eat, drink and breathe, that eventually form and Joseph’s subsequent “arising” to Henry’s consciousness is the human construction. This intelligent vibratory thought, or the called the resurrection. The resurrection of the spirit from its Word, is deposited in the human subconscious. The Word is the grave in the subconscious is the hallmark of the Judgement Day intelligent spirit we all carry within us that creates us and stays people speak of, but never truly understand.

Understanding resurrection, as Henry’s spirit–soul, comes early to warn of the our human makeup as both physical body and spirit, or the devil impending destruction of the earth’s people.
