([Joel:] “It was war. It was the instinct to survive. They moved in and everybody could have coexisted together but it just didn’t work that way. We were proud . We lived in a beautiful, but in the sense that this world has plenty, that there was nothing there. We lived and lived successfully. There were hard times. There was summer and there was famine and there were some pretty bad winters, but we were a success. We had been on that land a long time and then you people came in and looked down on us. You thought we were a bunch of savages and you wouldn’t be friends with us or talk to us. You didn’t want to talk to us—we were a bunch of animals yet you lived in hovels made out of dirt. You held yourselves up and thought you were so great and inadvertently or intentionally you began to destroy us at first and then it became more of a pattern because then you sensed that your survival was hinging on it too. Then it became kind of a guerilla warfare on both sides and it accelerated. It wasn’t necessary at all, but I guess we didn’t know that then.”

([Bill, an entity channeled by Joel H.:] “Part of letting it ride was what caused the difficulty in the first place and the yelling was a release of emotion and we have met before. Someone has been helping you to get over some feelings in the (night) lifetime and they are much more worked through than you might realize at the intellectual level. The advice is good. Continue probing, but what has been need not continue to be for you at this time. And since this is a night when the process of telling secrets continues, let me tell one, I have been here before.”)
