There is nothing beyond or outside the Source, because there is nowhere else

A Message from Saul via John Smallman for 15 November 2014 

We do see the suffering that so many are undergoing, suffering that seems very real and intense, and we are assisting you in coping with it all, as you wait for the Event. And that Event IS coming, in fact it has already happened, humanity is just not yet totally ready to open to it, and in doing so dissolve the illusion. 

There is only NOW. You know that intellectually, with your brains/minds, but you have to accept it without reservation into your hearts where the eternal flame of Divine Love burns constantly beneath/behind the veil/screen/curtain/closed door that you built to experience separation from your Source, the Source in which you have your eternal existence. 

That Source contains everything. There is nothing beyond it or outside it, because there is nowhere else. Your experience of a threatening and dangerous world/universe, as all the channels, ascended masters, mystics, all in the spiritual realms keep telling you and confirming for you, is an illusion that you made and maintain. When you release your hold on it, your desire to maintain it, it will be gone . . . POOF! Just like that. And we know that is very difficult for you to get a handle on, to accept. But you will. That is what your path to awakening is all about, and you cannot fail to awaken! WHY? Because it is God’s Will, and yours that you do. 

To awaken is your destiny, you have no other. Within the illusion, it seems that you have myriad choices leading to a multitudinous assortment of possible destinies, and you do make many choices, but you choose them mostly to distract yourselves from the one choice you need to make, and that choice is to awaken. It is your sense of guilt, of your unacceptability to God that holds you back. The choice to experience separation brought with it an incredible sense of guilt, because you had chosen to separate from your Source, the infinitely loving Father, Who not only wanted you to be eternally happy, but also knew exactly what was required for you to achieve that state, and Who provided it for you. 

Sometimes human parents play at being god, as they try to push their children along unsuitable paths supposedly “for their own good.” Normally they are either attempting to alleviate their own sense of inadequacy by making their children succeed, or they are attempting to prevent their children from making or repeating their own, as they see it, disastrous mistakes. This brings terrible repercussions, because it only confirms for their children that they are indeed inadequate. 

God, the Father of you all, does not do that. He gave you everything, and the freedom to choose how to use His gifts. He is infinitely wise and loving and so He knows that you will make the right choices, eventually. He allows you that freedom, because Love never makes demands. It accepts and allows. When you acknowledge His Love for you and allow It into your hearts, all your fears and worries will dissolve, because It brings with It the knowing that you are His most precious and dearly beloved child who can do no wrong. 

All that seems wrong, often terribly wrong, unforgivable, is of the illusion, totally unreal, a terrifying nightmare from which you are going to awaken. You are Love, there is nothing else, and it is impossible for you to deceive yourselves of that divine and holy Truth indefinitely. And if you are Love, which you are, eternally, then you cannot ever have done anything unloving. That is why forgiveness by you of your brothers and sisters is so important, because to withhold forgiveness is to withhold Love. But you cannot withhold It, because you are Love, and nothing else. To forgive is simply to recognize and acknowledge this, and that is what dissolves the illusion. 

Love neither sees nor recognizes the illusion, because it does not exist. Love sees and recognizes only what is Real. Not to forgive is to hold on to resentment and judgment which enormously restricts and limits your ability to see, to be aware, to know Love. Whatever you hold on to that is not of Love. It erects a shield, a blind, an obstacle that hides Love from you, and when you have shielded yourselves from Love, terror strikes and all that you can see is the unreal – human conflict, betrayal, suffering, pain, and absolute hopelessness. 

But take heart, dear ones, because all that horror is unreal and will fade from view when you open your hearts again to your Father’s ever-present Love. Love conquers all, gently, tenderly, and irresistibly. It is just waiting with infinite patience for you to allow yourselves to know It once more. 

With so very much love, Saul.

Your collective ability to hold the intent to awaken is strengthening

Message from Saul via John Smallman for 28 November 2013 

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States of America, but wherever you are on planet Earth there is good reason for giving thanks – you are alive and conscious, therefore you are a Divine Child of God, eternally loved and secure within Him, the One Source from which all that exists is created for everlasting joy. You are dreaming now, as you continue to engage with the illusory realm that you built, but you are on the path to awakening, and when you do awaken your joy will overwhelm you. 

Your awakening is guaranteed, it is inevitable, there is no other option, because as divine beings created by God for eternal joy, your will and His are One, and His Will is that you shall awaken. You decided, briefly, to experience separation – a state that cannot exist, simply because God created all as One with Him and within Him, and He is Reality, all that exists, there is nowhere to be separate – and so the illusion was born and you entered within it and closed off your awareness of God and of who You truly are, temporarily. It does seem that you have been enveloped within it for eons, and that is part of its illusory nature, but in truth your presence there has only been momentary, a brief moment of intense fantasy, as you will realize when you awaken. 

God is Love, and because He created you, you too are Love. Love is undiscriminating, utterly inclusive, accepting and embracing of all that exists, and separation from It is utterly impossible! Nothing that God creates is ever separate from Him, and He is the only Creator. What you have been apparently experiencing for eons, a state of existence separate from Him and from one another, truly is an illusion no matter how real it seems to you, while you are experiencing it – you have a term for a modern computer application “virtual reality,” which is like a very much scaled down version of the illusion that you constructed for yourselves.  You could perhaps say “What goes around comes around.”  It seems that you wanted an even more illusory illusion as an escape from the one that has seemingly contained you for so long! 

Well, you will escape by awakening into Reality, not by building another illusion!  We in the spiritual realms are here to assist you in that process, and we are available to you 24/7, so do not hesitate to call on us.  Humanity has made the collective decision to awaken, but many of you keep forgetting to hold the intent, and our job is to remind you to do so whenever you meditate or pray, or call on us for help. 

Your collective ability to hold the intent to awaken is strengthening and intensifying as the Lightbearers, Wayshowers, and Starseeds among you become ever more competent at sharing and extending the fields of Love that surround and envelop each one of you.  You are all, all of humanity, enveloped in the divine field of Love in every moment of your eternal existence, but due to the decision to experience separation your awareness of this became very indistinct, unfocused, almost lost. Now that awareness is being restored, and as that happens you are reconnecting and weaving together your individual energy fields in a beautifully harmonious expression or reflection, in fact an exact mirror image of God’s Love for all of you, and it is drawing you together in recognition of your inseparable Oneness. 

What is occurring is absolutely magnificent, and you are observing signs of this everywhere as more and more of you come together in prayer and meditation all across the world with the intent to promote peace and harmony among all peoples. New groups are forming daily for this divine purpose, which further increases the strength and intensity of Love that you are now willingly and enthusiastically offering to all. The Light of human Love, an extension of God’s Love, is becoming ever brighter as you clean up your “mirrors” by removing all the smuts and congealed dirt that has dulled them – the unloving attitudes, mistrust, exclusivity, rejection, and judgments that have plagued humanity for so long – thus making them shine quite brilliantly, as they also reflect the brightness of His Love for all of you. 

The apparent eons that you have spent separated from God and from each other has left you feeling unworthy, because the only reason you can conceive of for being separated from Him is because you are unworthy.  But, of course, you are not! You were created perfect and nothing can ever change that, and you are now coming to understand the truth of that. Just as in the biblical story of “The Prodigal Son”, you are loved by your Father, and there is nothing you can do to alter that, His Love for you is eternal. 

Make a point of relaxing at least once daily, and preferably more often (3 or 4 times would be good) into your quiet inner space to commune with your guides and mentors and allow them to reassure you of your Father’s Love for you by embracing you in an intense and powerful energy hug. And allow yourselves to feel it instead of doubting it, because then you most certainly will.  You are not alone, you have never been alone, and you never will be alone, Oneness with your Father and one another is forever.  And you are now moving steadily into the awareness of this, as you approach the moment of your awakening. 

With so very much love, Saul.

Your doubts and anxieties are without foundation

Message from Saul by John Smallman for 23 January 2013 

With the growth and intensification of the New Energies enveloping you all, your path to Awakening is becoming both brighter and clearer. The need to share and expand the Love within you, your eternal and unbreakable divine connection, is bringing to your attention the blocks or barriers to It that you installed out of fear eons ago, and which you are now realizing are preventing you from living life fully and joyfully. 

You thought they were essential defenses against a cruel and threatening world filled with potential enemies, when in fact they are cages or prisons which you built and into which you retreated in fear after you had imagined into being a state of separation from your Father. Separation from Him is impossible, but because of the power of your enormous inventive capabilities, you were able to build an imaginary environment in which to hide from the supposed anger that you believed was your Father’s response to your attempt to separate yourselves from Him and live unencumbered by the Law of Divine Love. 

Fear is the absence of Love. It is at best unsettling, and at worst utterly terrifying, and all of you have had experiences of extreme terror during the eons you have spent shutting yourselves off from your Father’s loving embrace. Life without God is impossible, because He is all that exists, and therefore you are all inseparable parts of Him. The knowledge of that Divine Truth is held within you, permanently, but you have for eons refused to acknowledge it. 

You are now in the process of returning to the Divine Fold by allowing that knowledge to rise up into your awareness. At first, it is an unbelievable concept, because you have become so conditioned to seeing and experiencing yourselves as small and insubstantial beings in a vast and uncaring universe, living short and increasingly painful lives, which lead to sickness and death, a permanent state of non-being after which, for the most part, you will be completely forgotten. In fact, it will be as though you had never existed. That is life without Love, and it is a terrifying prospect. It is no wonder that talk of death, let alone acceptance of its inevitability, is a bit of a conversation stopper. 

What you are engaged in is like the allegorical story of the prodigal son who demanded his inheritance from his father and set off to explore the world outside his father’s loving domain. That experience became increasingly unsatisfactory, bringing him great suffering, and finally despair. He wanted to return home, but believed that he had cut all his ties, that his father’s love for him had died, and that consequently he would, with complete justification, refuse to recognize him let alone allow him to return home. Eventually, in desperation, he decided to take a chance, return home, and throw himself on his father’s mercy in total and abject surrender. 

What happened as he approached his home? His father saw him coming and rushed to greet and embrace him. You are all in the process of making that journey home, and when your Father sees you approaching He too will rush to greet and embrace you. It will quickly be as though you had never left, which of course you hadn’t. 

But most of you still dread that approaching encounter, and your earthly experiences, complete with your cultural and religious indoctrinations, encourage a belief that when you meet your maker there will be a harsh judgment during which the multitude of sins that you have committed will be shamefully re-experienced in all their wickedness. That will be followed by an appropriate period of intense pain and suffering in reparation, before access to the heavenly realms is finally granted, probably quite reluctantly. And when you do enter it will be at best as second-class citizens. Not a very uplifting prospect, which is why so many, brought up with those kinds of beliefs, reject out of hand all forms of religion, and include the possibility of a personal spirituality in that act of rejection. 

However, closing yourself off from all that is spiritual is effectively shutting yourself off from yourself. It is a state of denial that leads to bitterness and cynicism, and encourages a dog-eat-dog attitude to life in which it is everyone for themselves, fueling the belief that in this world of scarcity he who dies with the most toys wins. And that has been what many of you have experienced in numerous previous life times. 

The New Energies are breaking through that mind-set, connecting with your hearts, and helping to dissolve the massive tangle of fears and anxieties that have been wearing you down through countless human incarnations.  Most of you are feeling these energies, but have doubts about their reality, and because doubt has become so ingrained within you, you are finding it very difficult to release them. 

My message to you is this: “Your doubts and anxieties are without foundation. Your Father lovingly awaits your return and longs to embrace you once more. Go within, allow those energies to make their presence felt, and relax into the loving warmth that they offer, knowing that you are indeed going to awaken into unimaginable joy.” 

With so very much love, Saul.

Release Everything Within Yourselves That Is — In Even The Smallest Way — Unloving

Message from Jesus through John Smallman for 18 January 2013 

You are all most firmly established on your personal paths to awakening, each of which is part of the Super Highway leading humanity out of the illusion and home to Reality. You have all chosen to travel at a speed that suits you best in the moment, and at any time you can change that speed by choosing to increase or decrease it. The influx of new, loving energies, which have started flowing powerfully and insistently throughout the planet, are encouraging you all to increase the speed with which you are engaging your homeward journey, and that makes perfect sense. Why would you want to spend more time in the illusion where you experience so much confusion, uncertainty, and indeed chaos, when you could be rapidly returning home to the everlasting joy of your Father’s Divine Realm? 

As you know deep within yourselves you are divine, spiritual beings having a physical experience. However, part of that experience has been the forgetting who you really are. It was a choice that you made to ensure that your physical experience would seem totally real to you, in order for to you to undergo lessons that you wanted to learn from scratch. If you were able to remember who you truly are, the lessons would be of little practical use to you, because you would already know the subject-matter at the highest possible level of understanding – and there would effectively be nothing for you to learn. And of course that sounds like nonsense, for why would you hide knowledge from yourselves, so that you could become embodied as humans to relearn it? It is indeed a paradox that leads to much confusion. 

The Love from which our Father created all sentient beings is an energy that is infinitely abundant, wise, knowledgeable, creative, and powerful. It can be accessed and used in myriad ways — ways that, in your limited embodied form, you cannot possibly conceive of. It is possible for spiritual beings to choose to work with just one aspect of that energy or an infinite number of them. For instance, working only with power can lead to immense imbalances in understanding and perception, if the ends for which it is used and developed are not aligned with the need for wisdom, harmony, cooperation, and mutual concern when operating only through that one aspect. 

By becoming embodied and having a physical experience on Earth, sentient beings can use the different aspects of the Divine Energy Field individually to learn and understand the responsibilities that go with them and that have to be accepted and incorporated during that usage, while at the same time ensuring that no major damage can be caused by errors or omissions should responsibilities be forgotten or neglected. Basically, games are invented and played, and the consequences that arise then present lessons that, when learnt, lead to much greater understanding and wisdom than could occur without the presence of the limitations that human embodiment entails. 

By becoming humans you have chosen to experience a severely limited state of consciousness for the challenges and lessons it enables you to undertake. It is part of the unreal state of separation that started when you invented and built the illusion, and you have, as it were, to rebuild the divine aspects of yourselves that are not immediately obvious to you as humans, but which are accessible to you though prayer and meditation when you make the intent to be spiritually guided, in order to return home. Rebuild is not really the right word, because no part of you has been destroyed or demolished – every aspect of you was created immortal, eternal, and divine – and never could be, but it is useful as an analogy. 

The experience of being human is so far removed from your true nature that to return to that state without adequate preparation would be shockingly disturbing, because you would still hold memories of attitudes and behaviors you had espoused that are utterly estranged from the loving state in which you were created. It would not be apparent initially that what you were remembering was but an unreal state that had never happened, and to see such unloving aspects of yourselves appearing real would be horribly alarming and disturbing. 

You are Divine Beings, Beings of Love, and it would be totally incomprehensible and reprehensible to see yourselves as far less than that, as beings who could willingly and apparently happily cause suffering to other sentient beings. And in Reality that is indeed impossible, but to have apparent memories, recollections of things, events, behaviors, actions that are not utterly loving, in which it seemed that you had taken part, would be devastating for you — even though they had ‘never happened.’ To imagine situations like that are beyond the realms of possibility for Divine Beings, which is what you are. So, to find yourselves holding such memories, even though they are unreal, would indeed be shocking. 

Returning to your fully conscious and natural state — awakening into Reality — is what you are doing as you struggle with the confusion and suffering of the illusion. The way to follow this path is by releasing everything within yourselves that is — in even the smallest way — unloving, or not in complete alignment with Love. And as you release those unreal aspects of yourselves, which have never been a part of the Divine Being that your Father created, the memories attached to them will all dissolve, so that you can fully awaken into the brilliance, beauty, peace, harmony, and Love that is your natural and eternal state. 

The way home, guaranteed and divinely assured by your ever-loving Father, is through release, complete release of all that is not of God. That is the task in which you are presently fully engaged, and failure is neither an option nor a possibility. You are Beings of Love returning to awareness of that divine and wondrous state. 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

You will rediscover the brilliant truth of who you really are

Message from Jesus by John Smallman for December 19, 2012 

Joyful amazement is shortly to engulf you all!  Relax, trust your Father whose only interest is your eternal happiness, because when you are happy you add immeasurably to His happiness.  Those of you who are thinking: “I’m not happy, so is God unhappy?” just have not understood that their unhappiness is part of the illusion, it is unreal, and so of course God remains happy. He is always happy. When you awaken, as you will, you will discover that you are indeed happy and always have been, but at present that is a very hard concept for you to grasp. 

The suffering, the pain, and the unhappiness that you are experiencing is part of these depressing games that you have been playing.  You have dressed yourselves up in costumes (bodies) that are completely appropriate for the dramatizations that you chose to direct and act in, and you really are excellent directors and actors.  The horrors of torture, killings, war, disease, and natural catastrophes due to weather, earthquakes, etc., are all part of this illusory environment that humanity’s collective intent has built up over the eons. And you do experience intense pain and suffering within it, which is one of many reasons why you have had enough of the games and want to wake up. 

Your decision to wake up is irreversible because so many of you are holding the intent to do so, and you are receiving vast assistance in holding this intent from those in the spiritual realms. The dire situation of planetary disharmony that seems to have enveloped you, and that seems to have paralyzed or frozen your creative abilities that would lead you out of it, has gone on for more than long enough, your theatrical productions are coming to an end. If you wish, you can applaud their realism; then it will be time to go Home. 

When you wake up, you will joyfully re-establish long-forgotten relationships with untold numbers of like-minded souls who, like you, have been moving progressively forwards towards this moment in which you will rediscover the brilliant truth of who you really are. You will be flooded with wonder, as you experience an environment that is brilliantly alive and brilliantly lighted by the flames of Love that shine forth from all who are present. The warmth of all-enveloping acceptance and the animated communication it inspires will be quite exhilarating – what a contrast to social get-togethers in the illusion where everyone is sizing up everyone else and seeking to gain improved status and personal advantage! 

You are all one, and you will soon know this fact in the same way that you presently know your skin and its contents to be you. There are no boundaries as you mix and mingle with one another in your divine Home, enjoying perfect peace and loving harmony.  You will find yourselves communicating, creating, and cooperating in the vast and infinite God-field that contains all that exists and is yet expanding constantly to include every new creation that you devise and introduce. 

To be alive, to exist is an ecstatic joy that is utterly beyond the powers of your present, very limited imaginations to conceive of in any meaningful way.  What your Father has created, what you have created with Him, and what you will continue to create together will provide limitless inspiration and amusement as you explore the infinite possibilities that Reality offers for your eternal and infinite satisfaction. 

Boredom, an amazing and incomprehensible concept birthed in the illusion, will most certainly never ever again be experienced, as you proceed with joy to expand your fields of knowledge in unimaginable directions. You have an expression you use when things are going well for you: “Life is a breeze!” In Reality life will be like an endless multitude of perfect storms that are you, and that you direct with tireless enthusiasm, experiencing the power and wonder of your own existence through the constant interplay of all their magnificent elements. In truth, no more boredom, depression, or lack of motivation, but instead a constant, ongoing series of uplifting events orchestrated for the joy of all involved. Could you possibly ask for anything more? And if you do think of something to add to the constellation of delights that you are already enjoying, then you will be able to produce it instantly. 

Your eternal happiness is God’s Will, and it will be achieved in every moment of your existence! 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

There is no longer any need for you to continue the cycles of reincarnation

Message by Raul for 17 October 2012 through John Smallman 

The divine schedule for humanity’s awakening was established the instant your apparent separation from Reality occurred. Your Father could not let you delve into the mysteries of the unreality that you had invented, and presented as real to your collective mind, without ensuring that you could never get permanently lost there. The Light of His Love was securely installed in each individual who chose to go with the collective into the illusion, and the timescale for your return was laid down, but with an enormous degree of flexibility built in to allow for any diversions or distractions which you might choose to engage with as you journeyed along your homeward path. 

Over the eons of illusory time and place, you have all without exception endured much personal suffering and needless to say, you have also imposed much suffering on others. It was illusory, it was self-inflicted, and it never happened. But the power of your collective imagination is enormous, and you have succeeded in convincing yourselves that your history of deceit and betrayal of, and violence to one another is absolutely real. 

So real in fact, that to enable you to awaken from the illusion it is essential that you completely change the attitudes it formulated and encouraged, and release all beliefs that in any way conflict with your innate ability, desire, and intent to offer indiscriminate and Unconditional Love to all sentient beings. It is innate because, like all of God’s creation, you were created in Love with Love as the energy that empowers and motivates you in every moment of your eternal existence. 

To forgive yourselves for all the offenses and suffering that you seem to have caused to yourselves or to others is the first step that you need to take. Then you need to forgive all without exception whom you believe have in any way hurt or offended you. Many of you have been working on this for numerous Earth lifetimes, and are now also working as Light-bearers and way-showers because, having gone through much of what the majority of humanity needs to address individually, you are ideally suited and qualified to assist others in their awakening process — simply by demonstrating love, compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness in your daily living. 

With the intensifying field of Divine Love surrounding the planet and enveloping each one of you, there is also an overabundance of assistance available and constantly offered to you from those in the spiritual realms to ensure that you succeed in releasing all those inflexible beliefs that have served you so dismally. If it is your intent to awaken — and it is the intent of each one of you to do so, even if that intent is presently hidden below your level of conscious awareness — then you will succeed, because it is divinely ordained. Only a few, who still feel that they are not ready or willing to step out of the illusion, will remain asleep. However, when they are ready to take that step they, like you, will be afforded every opportunity to awaken, and will then do so. No one will fail to awaken, no one will be lost, because Reality allows no loss. 

Knowing, as you indubitably do, that you are divine beings having an illusory experience, then it is also impossible for you not to know that your existence is eternal. Death is just an illusory concept that you have invented to describe the situation that occurs when you make the decision to lay down your physical vehicle and re-enter the spiritual realms. Until very, very recently this normally then involved a self-assessment of the life you had just lived in the illusion, in the presence of your loving and compassionate guides, to enable you to choose and plan a further Earth life that would provide you with the lessons that you chose to have presented to you. 

Always, within the illusion, you have had abundant opportunities to explore and examine the beliefs and opinions that are part of the life path that you had chosen, prior to your incarnation on the earth plane, to experience, and they constantly present you with the appropriate experiential lessons. But frequently you were unable to take full advantage of these learning opportunities because the energy of the illusion is so dense and so dark. 

Now, because of all the work you have done over the eons, and because of the intense and abundant help you are receiving from the divine energy field enveloping the Earth, and because your Father – Who has never ever required, demanded, or imposed suffering of any kind upon you – wants to see your suffering come to an end, there is no longer any need for any of you to continue those cycles of reincarnation that have been an obstinate, intractable, and painful part of the whole illusion. You will finally be completely free — free from the exile you chose to endure within the nightmare that the illusion became — when you awaken, as you most assuredly will. 

With so very much love, Saul.
