Honor and respect yourselves and behave in ways that live up to that honor and respect

Message from Saul via John Smallman for 6 July 2016 

Changes are occurring thick and fast on Earth as more and more of you become aware that you have been seriously misled by those in positions of authority for a very long time. You have a saying, credited to the Englishman, Sir John Dalberg-Acton, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." The truth of this statement becomes more apparent daily, as whistle-blowers disclose ever more corruption in governments and multi-national corporations worldwide. It is shocking for many of you to realize that so many of those whom you relied upon to be honest have betrayed that trust. 

However, that kind of betrayal has been endemic within the illusion for eons, and it needs to be seen so that humanity will move out of its blind acceptance of statements by authority figures that are made to confuse and frighten you into accepting them as honest individuals with your best interests at heart. 

You now see that this is not so! Many individuals who have been in the public eye presenting themselves as sane and balanced leaders are now seen to be utterly ego-driven, as they struggle to destroy others who are competing with them for worldly positions of power and influence. Truly this is a moment of awakening for humanity worldwide. Do not close your eyes or turn away! 

You are not being asked to judge or condemn anyone! 

Just be aware of the utter insanity of so much human behavior and recognize that Love is your nature, the true nature of all life forms, and engage lovingly with life. You cannot and will not solve the issues facing humanity if you continue to behave in the ways that have caused so much suffering to so many for eons. There is a much better way, it has been demonstrated by wise and loving holy ones throughout your history, and yet you have continued to conspire, to cheat, and to manipulate one another, because in your egoic state of awareness you believe that your way is the best way, the right way, despite the fact that again and again you are proved wrong! Then you go into denial and blame someone else for errors that you have made. 

This is the time for change, for you to return home to your real selves, the beings of Love that you have hidden beneath the veil of fears that your egos have woven, and open your hearts to one another so that trust returns to human relationships and the desire to win, as others lose, dissolves. Then you will cooperate in divine harmony to create wonders beyond your wildest dreams. You can do this, and you will do this when you make the choice to engage lovingly in every interaction with others. You are those others, so it only demonstrates fear and insanity, both unreal aspects of the illusion, when you set yourselves apart and withdraw into distrust and anxiety. It is truly distrust of and anxiety about yourselves, your value as a human being. But, of course, your true value is infinite, because you are all the beloved children of God. 

Trust is found by exercising it, by engaging with love instead of with fear. In times gone by that idea seemed insane, because then dishonest self-centeredness was the way in which almost everyone behaved. 

That is no longer the case. The Tsunami of Love that is now sweeping continuously back and forth across the planet has changed the energy fields of every one of you, and within everyone there is now an awareness that change of an enormous magnitude is essential if you are to bring peace and abundance to all on Earth. It is also quite apparent that honesty, integrity, trust, and the acceptance in others of different life styles, philosophies, physical appearance, and religious persuasions are all aspects of the divine creative impulse within you all. Honor one another regardless of all these differences, then these differences can be put to work together in a harmonious expansion of all your creative abilities, so that you can resolve the issues that have been so divisive on Earth for so long. 

Truly, the opportunities now presenting themselves to humanity offer incredible prospects to bring peace and abundance to all on Earth. Flow with them, discuss them, engage with them, because that is why they are presenting now. The present moment is the ideal moment in which to establish a system of interaction at every level of human exchange that benefits all without exception. Providing care and security for those who are presently in the most dire circumstances, and at the same time honoring the abilities and competences of every human. There is no one on Earth without some ability and competence, it is just that in your presently extremely competitive way of living and working those of lesser abilities are bypassed and then blamed for being a drain on the tax payers. 

Remember, All Are One! Bypassing or ignoring anyone is doing it to yourselves, and that is why your present societal systems are crashing down around you. 

Love – which is what you all are – takes divine care of all its members without exception. You see it demonstrated where parents lovingly care for their sick, disabled or mentally challenged children, where the younger among you take care of the old, the sick, and the disabled, where loving volunteers visit and care for those without friends or families and those imprisoned. When you all truly care for one another without making judgments, then human society will blossom as its true potential is brought to light. 

As I have said so often before, “Treat all others lovingly, honor and respect them, and observe how your own individual lives become more satisfying, more inspiring, and more enjoyable.” Life is not about others and how they have failed you, deceive you, or betrayed you; it is about you and how you have done this to yourselves. 

Honor and respect yourselves and behave in ways that live up to that honor and respect. As you do, you will meet others doing likewise. Many are already doing this and the world is changing for the better because of it. Just know that even alone each one of you makes an enormous difference, and honor that responsibility. When you do, you will find more joy and satisfaction in life than you presently believe is possible. 

Your individual task on Earth in this age of enormous change remains what it always has been, namely to be Love in action, that is to be Yourselves, the magnificent beings God created. Love lies firmly anchored at the core of your being. You access it by taking time out from your daily activities and entering that quiet and sublime inner space, the holy sanctuary from which Love never departs. It is always there, waiting patiently for the moment when you choose to enter Its Presence, so that It may embrace you. 

And everyone without exception will enter that holy space eventually, so why delay, when the joy you seek awaits you there in every moment? Go within and rejoice, then you will shine with joy and Love, as you magnificently assist in humanity's awakening process which is unstoppable. 

With so very much love, Saul.

Reality is infinitely beyond anything you can possibly imagine

Message from Saul via John Smallman for 2 July 2016 

As you watch the daily news unfold across the planet, it is unmistakably apparent that enormous changes are occurring worldwide. These changes are essential to humanity’s well-being, so make the intent at least once daily, and preferably 4 or 5 times daily, that Love, the true nature of every human, rises into their conscious awareness and that they embrace It wholeheartedly to bring about the new social structures necessary to ensure that peaceful and harmonious co-existence between individuals and nations becomes firmly established in this New Age which you entered in December 2012. 

It is a done deal, but it is being done by you, by humanity, in every now moment, and thus you can see that it is your intent that is the driving force behind it. 

Be Yourselves! 

Let the conflicts and disharmonies of the illusion fall away, and take exalted enjoyment in what you are creating in every moment by your total sense of self acceptance, which then allows and encourages you to fully accept and honor others as well, instead of, as for eons past of your history, constantly judging one another as inadequate, wrong, or evil. 

You are all, each and everyone of you without exception, God’s beloved children. He watches over each one of you with infinite Love; all you have to do is accept His Love and share and extend It to all of humanity. It is an utterly simple way to be, it makes no demands on you, and requires no judgment or discernment, only that you be Yourselves. 

God created you perfect, and perfect you remain. Stop engaging with the insane games presented to you by the illusion that you built, instead, intend to see in everyone the Christ consciousness that resides in each one of you without exception. In Reality there are no exceptions, no conflicts, no betrayals, and no judgments, there is only infinite harmony in which you all honor the Presence of God in Yourselves and in one another. You need only make the choice, the decision to do that, and it happens, as it always does, in this now moment, the moment that is always present. There is no past, there is no future, there is only the eternal Now in which all of creation is present in joyful harmony. 

You can choose not to be aware that this is so; you can decide not to engage lovingly with Yourselves and with others; and you can continue to encourage conflict, betrayal, and bitterness – but why would you do that? You all want eternal peace and the joyful existence that follows from it. You all want only Love, to be loved, and in truth you are eternally embraced by It, because God is Love, God is all that exists, is That in which all of creation is eternally enfolded, and therefore each and everyone of you are God, Love, and the ecstatic Joy that awareness of that provides. 

The Supreme Being, the Divine Wisdom, the Mother/Father/God in which all that exists has its eternal and immortal existence is Infinite Love. There is Nothing Else! Your human perception of and belief in the physical universe with its physical laws as a vast Reality is utterly and completely out of alignment with All That Exists – God! When you awaken, as you most definitely will – not in some far distant and wishfully imagined future, but in this eternal Now moment, the only moment that is Real – you will be absolutely amazed that you believed in the illusion and allowed it to rule and guide your perception of what is real. 

You are so much more than you perceive Yourselves to be, as you continue to immerse yourselves in the illusion that you built solely to convince yourselves that you had no need of God. The only analogy I can offer you, and I assure you that it is totally inadequate, is the thought you maintain as you experience life as humans – that without your human bodies you would cease to exist! In truth, when you identify with your human bodies, as the vast majority of you do – even those who claim not to – it is as though you had ceased to exist! 

Reality is infinitely beyond anything you can possibly imagine, while you remain convinced of the reality of your human forms. To know Reality you have to awaken, and that means making the choice to release your hold on your belief in all that appears to have form, to allow yourselves to experience the vastness of emptiness in which infinite potential resides eternally. 

You built the illusion from that vast and infinite field of potential and have become dreamers within it for but a moment. A moment that seems to you to have been ongoing for billions of years, but which is in fact a period of time that is shorter than a snap of your fingers. 

Within the illusion, where the form of your bodies appears to anchor you, time appears linear, consistent, and almost endless, whereas in fact it has no substance, it is completely unreal. Those few of you who have become enlightened have, over the eons, attempted to show the truth of this, but because you have become so captivated by the illusion in all its apparent glory, confusion, mystery, vastness, and incomprehensibleness, you are unable to release your hold on it – you are rather like small children with the toys or blankets from which they absolutely refuse to be separated. 

But now, this Now moment, this present moment as you listen to this or read it, is the time to let the illusion slip away, so that you can awaken into Reality, your natural state, and know Yourselves once more as God’s divine children, inseparable from Him and eternally endowed with His infinite Power, the Power He gave you at the moment of your creation to hold and enjoy for all eternity. 

You are one with Source, with God, with All That Is, so allow Yourselves to realize this, to recognize this, and awaken into the absolute joy that is Reality. Take time out daily from the seeming constant demands of life as a human within the illusion, and allow Yourselves to open your hearts to the Love that surrounds You, envelops You, and patiently waits for You to accept It, so that you may become fully aware that there is no separation. When You do, You will once more know Yourselves as One with Source, utterly in alignment with your true nature, and your joy will be sublime. 

With so very much love, Saul.

Humanity is one with itself, everyone is family, and the true nature of everyone is Love!

Message from Saul via John Smallman for 24 May 2016 

As Jesus has told you, humanity’s awakening is imminent. I know you feel that you have heard this said many, many times, and yet it seems that nothing has occurred to confirm that humanity’s awakening is ongoing, let alone imminent! But, because you have listened to our messages to you from the spiritual realms telling you that your awakening is imminent, you have, as a result of listening to us, strengthened your collective intent to bring it about. 

And, as you have also been told many, many times, the power of your individual intent, without mentioning the amazing power of your collective intent, is enormous and extremely effective. You are awakening humanity. Yes, each one of you holding the intent is making it happen. As so many channels have told you already, it is your intent that is making it happen. We, of course, support you in every moment, but you make it happen. You all made the courageous choice to incarnate during these “End Times” to assist in this momentous event and ensure that it happened. And it will. 

You are the collective! You do not have even a slight awareness of the vast numbers of you who chose to incarnate at this enormously important moment in the illusory dream of separation that God’s Son chose to build and experience so many eons ago. As you well know, in truth it was but a moment ago that you chose to play the game of separation, but you used your immense power and imagination to construct an environment that would appear very real to those who engaged with it by incarnating as humans. And thus it appears, bringing intense suffering to many, but with the constant hope being maintained that things would improve, that life would become easier, less stressful, and that eventually peace would arise and that all on Earth, without exception, would be provided for abundantly. 

Well that moment draws nigh because your collective intent has, particularly over the last five or six decades, been coming more and more into alignment. Previously, for eons as you measure time on Earth, you bought wholeheartedly into the belief that you were each separate beings, separate from God Whom you imagined as an infinitely powerful Being watching over your every thought, word, and action, and judging you harshly whenever you failed to live up to the standards that you imagined He demanded of you. 

But, God is Love. He never judges, because Love is unconditionally accepting of every member of God’s Divine Family, because that is the nature of Love. And every conscious entity, without exception, is a beloved member of that Divine Family. 

Separation is not only illusory, it is impossible, because all that God creates is eternally One with Him. And there is nothing apart from what God creates, because God Is . . . God is All that exists. 

Humanity has spent eons at war with itself, causing itself intense pain and suffering, as it has attempted to establish a safe haven within your illusory environment where it can live in peace with those it judges to be its friends and family. 

Humanity is one with itself, everyone is family, and the true nature of everyone is Love! You have been told this many, many times, and yet you choose separation by judging most others as unacceptable or enemies because of their supposed differences from you. You see all those weird people out there who are obviously unacceptable to the god that you worship, and who you therefore believe must be at least avoided and kept away from your loved ones, or, better still, labeled as terrorists and destroyed! 

Those you judge and wish to destroy are other members of God’s One divine family. And, of course, many of them view you through the same massively distorted lens that is your sense of perception. This game that you have been playing has become unconscionable because it has reached the stage where those who still wish to play it have only one motive, namely to destroy all whom they judge to be evil! And of course the word “evil” really only means “different.” And separation is a state in which you see everyone except yourself as different. You have a saying “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” The reason being that you can trust no one! 

And this attitude is the absolute insanity with which the illusion presents you, because it has succeeded in convincing you that you are separate from one another. And, of course, you are not. What you share, give, project, impose, or in any way do to another you do to yourselves. When you are in a loving relationship with anyone – intimate partner, family member, close friend – you see all that is admirable about yourselves reflected back to you as you look into their eyes and find acceptance and love there. When you are in a relationship of conflict you see all that you despise and that disgusts you about yourselves – but which is denied and very deeply buried – reflected back to you. 

BUT, you are all perfect Divine Beings. What you experience in the illusory state of being human is duality, opposites, confusion, and chaos. It makes no sense! Why? Because it is unreal! You constructed a game, and as you know a game is played by opposing teams or opposing individuals! You chose to play this game, and then forgot that it was a game, and used all your human intelligence to outwit and destroy those whom you decided were your opponents, your enemies! 

How, as the beloved children of God, eternally One with Him and with each other, can you possibly have enemies? Surely there are very few of you who do not see that as insanity. 

Therefore, go within daily, connect with the Love that resides there, open your hearts fully and allow and accept what It offers you in every moment of your eternal existence. When you do that, wholeheartedly, without any reservations, peace will fill your hearts and Love will embrace you. When you allow that to happen your whole perception of life, of love, of people, will change completely. You will see only Love in others, Christ-consciousness, your true and eternal nature shining forth and reflected back to you. 

Going within daily, as more and more of you are doing, and accepting the unconditional Love that is offered to you constantly, is changing the world. As you surf the web, and seek out the alternate news sites that report on the wonderful events that are occurring as a result of people engaging with and operating from their true nature, you will see that the changes for which you have all been hoping and praying are happening. Major essential changes are happening right now all across the planet. You are living in the time of humanity’s awakening, the time for which you have been praying and hoping for eons, and it is NOW! 

With so very much love, Saul.

You are all beautiful beings of intense Light!

Message from Jesus via John Smallman for 22 May 2016 

These are interesting times! Much is happening in the physical realms that is quite unprecedented. The stability of many of your “democratic” governments is no longer assured as dissatisfaction with the whole political process among the citizens of these various countries increases. And the elected officials seem either unaware of the situation or are unwilling to address it. From such situations revolutions arise. Enormous changes are about to occur that will amaze and shock you, as the real agendas of many in positions of power and authority over you are disclosed by disaffected minions and employees. Whistle-blowers are appearing everywhere with information that has been withheld but which should have been in the public domain. As this continues, so does people's dissatisfaction and that leads to change. In this case, to enormous change! 

All the disclosures about endemic corruption in high places are happening as a result of humanity's collective decision to awaken from the dream. What has lain hidden for so long can no longer be kept hidden, and as more and more of the endemic corruption is exposed, it becomes apparent to all sane beings that change is essential. Therefore, change will occur. We have been telling you this for some time now, so that you will be ready, and many changes are imminent. 

It probably seems to many that we have been using words and phrases like “soon, imminent, very close, sooner than you can imagine,” with a cavalier disregard for the way time unfolds on Earth. This is most definitely not the case. It takes time for the importance and inevitability of the forthcoming changes we are talking of to root themselves in your awareness, so that you strengthen your collective intent to bring them to fruition. That is what has been happening over the last few years, as more and more people have become aware of the corruption and dishonesty that is endemic worldwide within the governments, international corporations, large banks, and global industrial behemoths, that those who run them have consistently told you are honest and trustworthy. You now know that this is not the case, and very recently you made the collective decision to dissolve the old system, so that a new and incorruptible one that benefits all of humanity can be constructed to replace it. 

As you well know, war is the business of large industrial corporations and the banks that fund them and they make fortunes from the suffering of the masses. That is to change. Small groups of inordinately wealthy, influential, and powerful people have been in control of global economics and politics for far too long, and their reign is coming to an abrupt end. Much of the strife that is presently ongoing across the planet is as a result of their last ditch attempts to maintain their positions of power by causing conflicts and intense suffering in as many places as possible to create fear on a vast scale. Then, they hope to militarize even more of the world, so that they can lock it down and continue to control you. They will not succeed! 

Here in the spiritual realms, we are well aware of the frustration you are experiencing, as you wait expectantly for the promised changes that will establish peace on Earth, and food, shelter, and security for all on the planet. Humanity has set the collective intent for these changes to occur, and therefore, they will. Truly the power of your collective intent is immense, you have chosen collectively to awaken, and so you will. You are already in the process of doing so, and there is not the slightest possibility of you changing your minds or reversing your awakening process. What you have collectively chosen to achieve is unstoppable. 

As you read this, allow yourselves to sink into the center-most point of your being where Love shines brilliantly and resiliently in every moment. You mostly remain unaware of It, because you allow doubts and anxieties to rule your thought processes. Going deeply within at least once daily is absolutely essential for your well-being, so do not neglect or forget to do so, and as you do, open with certainty to the abundance of Love that resides there within you awaiting your unconditional acceptance of It. It is always there for you, but It does not force or impose Itself on you. Love is infinitely powerful and infinitely gentle. That probably seems like a paradox to most of you, but it is the Truth, because there is nothing else! 

Love only seems not to be present within you, because you have all, at some stage, been led to believe that you are unworthy, and so you do not believe that you will find It within you. Release those invalid and insane beliefs, remind yourselves frequently that you are indeed the beloved children of God, living eternally within His divine embrace, and dismiss all the negative self-judgments that weigh you down with an absolutely false sense of worthlessness, face to face with God. What God creates is eternal, like unto Himself, eternally perfect, and eternally infinitely loved. And He created YOU! Or do you not believe that? In that case, where did you come from? Because there is nowhere else! 

Of course, many of you have been hurt from time to time by those whom you believed loved you, and that has reinforced that underlying sense of not being good enough, a sense which is often denied, because it is too painful to be aware of. I am now telling you, and by no means for the first time, that it is utterly invalid! 

There is nothing about any child of God – and all are God's children – that is unacceptable, unworthy, mean-spirited, or disgusting. You are all beautiful beings of intense Light! Please, I beg of you, let go of those totally invalid self-judgments and allow the Love within you to flow. You are all divine conduits through which Love most strongly desires to flow. Love's nature is to flow, but, because It will not impose or demand, It cannot flow through you, unless you allow It to do so. Your own negative self-judgments restrict or completely block that flow, to yourselves and to all of humanity. 

When you accept yourselves, you are accepting God into your lives and then His infinite Love completely suffuses you and flows from you out into the world at large, directly affecting everyone with whom you interact in any way at all. You are presently on Earth to do just this. You all chose to be here in this moment for this divine purpose, and your part in it is absolutely essential. 

Dismiss all negative self-judgment and discount any negative judgments that others attempt to impose upon you. Be loving in every moment, in other words, be yourselves! That is why you are here. And as you live honestly as yourselves, the whole world changes as the unreal just falls away and Love pervades everything. 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

It is time to wake up and discard all the old ideas and beliefs that have led you consistently into conflict

Message from Saul via John Smallman for 8 May 2016 

It is humanity’s collective intent to awaken and, as All Are One with Source Whose intent it also is, awakening is inevitable. You are on the path to awakening, you always have been, and you will continue on it, until awakening occurs. There is nothing to fear, you cannot miss your moment of awakening, because you have made that irreversible decision to return Home. To awaken is to find yourself once again at One with God, eternally in the divine Presence from Which you have never been separated; eternally held in God’s loving Embrace that is ALL. The ALL is ALL-embracing, there is no beyond It, outside It, without It, no exclusion from It. It is God and You engaged in an eternal and ecstatic embrace, eternally inseparable, and eternally desirous of continuing in this state, and so You will. 

All the spiritual channels keep reconfirming for you the imminence of humanity’s awakening, and yet many of you keep allowing yourselves to be drawn back into doubt by the negativity of the illusion, as you are continually reminded by the media of the wars, suffering, unconscionable poverty, and unconscionable corruption that is occurring worldwide. Yes, there is an enormous amount of suffering across the world, but unless you feel intuitively called to physically assist in alleviating it by working with charities, or by going to areas that you have access to where you can personally help, or in some other appropriately active fashion, then do not dwell on the suffering. Instead, intend to send love, compassion, and healing to any areas that particularly concern you, or even to the whole world, and truly know that your powerfully held intentions are extremely effective. Then rejoice in the knowing that all manner of things will be well. 

The awakening process is moving forward unstoppably, because humanity has made the collective decision to awaken, and is firmly holding the intent to do so. As humans, it is almost impossible for you to understand how powerful your loving intentions are. I assure you that they are infinitely so. However, bad or unsettling news can distract you, causing you to focus your attention elsewhere, thus reducing the effectiveness of what should be and needs to be your main intention in life, namely to send love to wherever it is needed in every moment. When you wake in the morning, when you meditate, relax, contemplate, or pray, during the day, and again before you go to sleep at night renew that main intention, and know, truly know, that it is infinitely effective, because it is in complete alignment with God’s Will. 

On Earth, as humans, you appear to be living in an environment that is demonstratively unloving, an environment in which individual and corporate greed is relentlessly rewarded, while those who are loving and live lovingly, with love in their hearts empowering them in every moment, are ridden over roughshod, ignored, sidelined. However, the love that so many express is infinitely powerful, and it is changing the world. Do not be misled by the stories reported in the corporate media, those are stories whose intent is to mislead you and to arouse your fears so that you will continue to give away your power – which truly is enormous – to the authorities who claim to be acting in their citizen’s best interests. 

You are divine beings on Earth at this time to share and extend love to everyone without exception. More and more of you are realizing this daily and are releasing your fears as you engage lovingly with all with whom you interact in even the briefest of encounters or interchanges, and that is what is bringing humanity to awakening. Do not allow your doubts or fears to influence your behavior negatively, instead remind yourselves that you are the infinitely powerful children of God, on Earth in this moment to heal and awaken your sleeping brothers and sisters. Truly that is what you are doing. 

Without your input, without your loving intent, humanity cannot awaken. That is why you are presently embodied. You all made the magnificent choice to be catalysts in humanity’s accelerating awakening process, and although you mostly are unable to see what an enormous effect you are having, I can assure you that your intentions are dramatically effective. 

The reason that the various uplifting spiritual channels keep on reiterating the need for you to renew your intent to be loving in every moment and in every situation is because, due to the impermanent nature of the illusory world in which you are experiencing all of this, you keep getting distracted or diverted from your holy task by the daily demands of earthly living. Our task is to keep bringing your attention back to the knowledge of who you truly are, so that Love, your true nature, flows through you continuously and abundantly just as you intended when you chose to incarnate. Together we are doing this. 

No one acts alone. No one can act alone. Everyone on Earth is acting in harmony with many others as divine activists to bring this stage in the Divine Plan for humanity to its successful conclusion – the awakening of humanity. Although it appears to be something that is to happen in the future, it is in fact a done deal that has already occurred; it is just that the veil hiding Reality from you is also hiding from you the fact of your awakening. What you are all doing is dissolving or dematerializing the veil. As it disintegrates, Reality, Love, God will be revealed in all the splendid glory that is All that exists, and of which each and everyone of you is an inseparable aspect, a brilliantly shining facet. 

Keep on loving! That is why you chose to incarnate, and you are all masters of loving. When doubts as to your abilities, competence, or effectiveness arise . . . Love those doubts! As you know perfectly well, Love is the answer to every issue with which you are presented or with which you have to deal. And your own personal doubts and anxieties are issues that need only to be loved. 

There are very few among you who have not comforted small children when they have hurt themselves, and have then witnessed the amazing effect that comforting can have. Your doubts and worries are like small children within you that need your loving care and attention; they do not need self-condemnation or disparagement which only aggravates them. If there are aspects of yourselves that you feel are unworthy or unacceptable, just acknowledge them without trying to change or eradicate them. By just acknowledging them and nothing more, you prevent internal conflict from arising, and it is your internal conflicts that cling to that which you would like to release. 

All the wise mystics and sages have told you again and again that the way forward on the spiritual path is through surrender. Conflict always leads to further conflict, while Love dissolves conflict. You are Love, there is nothing else. What appears to be in opposition to It is illusory. If you bat a ball against a wall it keeps returning, if the wall is removed the ball fails to return. Conflict is like a ball hit against wall, and surrendering to Love removes the wall. 

Humanity has, over the eons, built numerous psychological barriers between its families, tribes, nations, cultures, and religions, and they have all led inexorably toward conflict. Now, finally, many loving and wise ones among you are helping to remove those unreal barriers and showing you that they are unnecessary. As the barriers fall, people begin to examine and study the differences between themselves and others and discover that there is much to be honored and admired. Truly, all are one, and the differences that have seemingly separated you, one from another, are but wonderful creative opportunities you can use for healing, reconciliation, and harmonious interactions that will bring joy to all. 

As you intensify your determination to express and demonstrate love in action in every moment, you are waking humanity from its eons long nightmare of fear, pain, and suffering. It is time to wake up and discard all the old ideas and beliefs that have led you consistently into conflict. Your true nature is Love, and when you embrace It and engage with It you heal yourselves and you heal the world. Focus on the acceptance of your true nature, let go of any doubts you may have about your worthiness, and know that there is nothing for which God ever condemns any of His beloved children. In that knowing, which you can access by going to your holy inner sanctuaries and opening your hearts to receive what is offered to you constantly in every moment, rejoice. God’s Love for you is infinite, eternal, and unchanging, and that is the perfect reason to rejoice! 

With so very much love, Saul.

Acceptance is an essential aspect of humanity’s awakening process

Message from Jesus via John Smallman for 13 May 2016 

All are One. You know that, all our readers and listeners know that, and yet doubt arises! As humans, embodied, it certainly appears that each individual human is completely separated from all others, because bodies cannot merge into each other. But you are not your bodies. You have chosen to experience the intense sense of limitation and aloneness that bodies provide in order to learn that separation is unreal, impossible. You search for love outside yourselves, because you feel so alone and separated. Your natural state is at One with God, Source, Love, and when you cannot experience that you become fearful and seek love from anyone who will accept you. Many relationships collapse because each party to it is looking to the other for what can only be found within themselves. When you find Love within yourselves, and there is no one who is without Love within themselves, then you can share and extend It, whereupon It returns to you because, all being One, It has never left you. 

When you know yourselves as Love you can then enter into a truly loving relationship with another, but until you know yourselves in that way, you are only offering an empty vessel to any other with whom you attempt to establish a relationship. And that other most likely has only an empty vessel to offer to you in return. Love is all-encompassing! But you can refuse to be aware of this truth and in that refusal find yourselves as empty vessels desperately needing to be filled by the love that you hope someone else will offer you, thus dissolving your sense of separation. But the sense of separation is there from the beginning, because you are each withholding, out of fear, what you so desperately want to receive from that other. Initially, you refuse to believe or acknowledge this, but as time passes, the lack of love willingly shared in every moment causes the relationship to founder and crumble, with each blaming the other for the failure, as your worst fears are proved valid. 

As I and many others have told you again and again, there is only Love! You think you know better, because your trust has at some stage – maybe many stages – been betrayed and you are determined never again to suffer the pain it brought you. But trust can only appear to be betrayed. Love is eternally present, honest, open, extending, sharing, compassionate, forgiving, and healing. It never betrays, because to do so would be completely contrary to Its nature. In fear, you offer only your bodies to one another – keeping yourselves hidden behind the “masks of acceptability” you have constructed to put on display – but bodies are unreal and cannot be relied upon, ever! You, you with a capital or upper case Y, are Love, and You are not your bodies, You are infinitely more than bodies. Bodies are limiting vehicles or vessels that you have chosen to inhabit, temporarily, in order to experience the unreal state of separation from God, from Source, where you have your endless and eternal existence constantly and without interruption, because what God creates is by its very nature eternal. 

Bodies are of the illusion, and within the illusion are an essential aspect of the game you are playing there. But, nevertheless, they are unreal, and to use their judgment to guide you always leads to disappointment and suffering. They can and do suffer pain and enjoy pleasure, but both pain and pleasure occur as a result of choices you make as you direct them along your human life paths. They do not cause anything, they just respond to your will, and you are frequently unaware of what you will for them. To you, it seems that things just happen to you, but every situation you encounter was set up in advance for the lesson you wished to learn. The fact that you do not recognize this does not change it, but it does make it difficult for you to learn your lessons, because in order to learn, you need to recognize that a lesson is being offered. 

So, we return to the subject we keep on addressing, namely, going within. There are no answers outside you! The games in which you are involved as humans appear to be situations occurring outside you in which you become involved, sometimes by choice and sometimes by chance. But it is your beliefs and attitudes that bring to you the situations in which you find yourselves involved. If you cling to judgment, the need to be right and see others as wrong, you will attract to yourselves situations that appear to demand your righteous judgment. But you do not have to judge! To judge or to not judge is a choice you make in every moment. Your true nature is Love, and Love never judges. When you operate from your true nature you will see nothing to judge, and without judgment there can be no conflict. 

Going within daily is essential, because when you go within to your holy inner sanctuary and open your hearts Love fills them. And then the felt need to judge falls away. There are none among you who have not at times responded lovingly instead of judgmentally in a difficult situation, maybe unthinkingly, and the result has been resolution instead of conflict. Sometimes that has surprised you, but the less you judge the fewer times you will find yourselves engaged in conflict. 

However, your egos want conflict, they live for conflict, because separation is conflict! You may claim that you seek peace, and perhaps you do, but only on your terms! Which means that you have chosen to let your ego direct your thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors, whereupon other egos happily respond and conflict ensues. You each – each ego – eventually retire hurt and offended, blaming each other for the suffering that you are undergoing, as it seems that the other was the undeserving winner. 

Suffering is a direct result of egoic choices, and it seems that the illusion, the state of existence humans experience, demands conflict. And, in a way, it does, because to be human is to have chosen to experience separation. And many humans see human existence as real and the spiritual realms as unreal, mythical realms that the weak choose to believe in because they are not strong enough to cope with reality. 

Your egos have done a very good job of turning things upside down by making the unreal real, and by rejecting Reality. Within the worldly illusion, where humanity appears to dwell, anything that is not physical, that does not have form, is judged as non-existent, illusory, unreal. Then you attempt to resolve issues with egoic reason and logic, judging what disagrees with your belief systems, your cultural and religious persuasions as wrong and in need of correction, by force if necessary. Judgment can never lead to peace, because judgment is non-acceptance of another, whose views and opinions are not really so different from your own, because they, like you, have an egoic need to make others wrong and prove themselves right. But all are One! And this human way of dealing with issues is, without doubt, utterly insane. There is no right and wrong, there is just difference. 

To awaken, as humanity is doing, is to recognize that the differences between families, tribes, nations, cultures, and political or religious beliefs are not reasons to make others wrong, but, instead, are opportunities to honor the differences between the various members of God’s Holy Family. God’s beloved children were created perfect, because God is infinite perfection, and therefore they remain perfect because what God creates is eternally unchanging. 

Acceptance is an essential aspect of humanity’s awakening process, but it has to be unconditional, and because so many of you struggle with your own self-acceptance it is very difficult for you to even think of accepting others unconditionally. You are forever noting to yourselves the aspects of others that you find most unacceptable, and those aspects are the ones that you deny most ferociously in yourselves. You are all mirrors to one another, and what you see and is reflected back most strongly by another is what you most admire or what you most despise in yourselves. When you fall in love, the other is reflecting back to you your most admirable traits, and when you strongly dislike someone they are frequently reflecting back what you judge to be your most unacceptable traits which you have buried far beneath your level of conscious awareness. 

Many are now finding that all this buried “stuff” is arising seemingly unbidden into their conscious awareness – what psychology refers to as the shadow side of a person. For those who have constructed for themselves a very strong and effective mask to present to themselves, and to the world, it can be very shocking to have such unacceptable thoughts and desires arising, thoughts and desires that they judge as totally unacceptable. 

Relax, you are not alone, everyone has a shadow side. Just acknowledge those horrific ideas and desires and allow them to flow through you without engaging with them. Part of your fear about them is because you think that if they are there, you might act on them. Acting on them only occurs when they are totally repressed by someone who has been terribly abused. They are generally just emotional defensive responses provided by your egos as a result of perceived unfair treatment or attacks. They are truly quite a normal aspect of being human, but, as children, you found that to express such ideas was totally forbidden and resulted in you being shamed or silenced. Consequently, needing a safe environment in order to survive, you buried them. 

As you move through the awakening process all this hidden “stuff” has to be acknowledged and released. As you do this, it becomes apparent that this “stuff” is not you. You are each a holy and unchanging child of God, One with Him eternally since the moment of your creation, and this “stuff” is just unreal dream-stuff passing through and dissolving, unless you choose to hold on to it. Just let it go and also any thoughts, worries, or anxieties that are attached to it. This clears your mind, making space for your true nature, Love, to blossom, as it most surely will. 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Everyone has “stuff” buried or denied that is arising

Message from Saul via John Smallman for 27 April 2016 

The sense of humanity’s Oneness is arising in millions of people all across the planet, and as it does so, it is then being sensed by millions more. The collective intent to awaken is stirring humanity and there is no going back! Your awakening is inevitable and imminent. News of worldwide suffering and deprivation, regardless of the cause or reason for these unhappy situations, is inspiring compassion on a scale never before seen on Earth. The Tsunami of Love continues to grow and intensify, because so many are intending to be loving in every moment of their lives. The power of your intent is amazing, and soon you will become aware of that power in each of your individual lives, as you continue to open your hearts to the Divine Field of Love that embraces you constantly. 

The Light that you Light bearers, Light holders, and Light workers are displaying by your living examples of Love in action through your compassion, forgiveness, acceptance, and lack of judgment grows brighter daily. Yes, most of you fail at times, falling back into fear and egoic behaviors, but your intent to be loving remains and is quickly reestablished, as you see what has occurred and forgive yourselves. Self-forgiveness is essential, because it clears the negative emotional energies that judgment and self-judgment arouses. 

As those in the spiritual realms keep reminding you – Love is all-encompassing, there is no judgment, only unconditional acceptance. The human condition is demanding, God is not! You are all on paths of learning that you planned before you incarnated, and so you are bound to make errors, that is how you learn. The important point here is to admit your errors, where possible correct them and make amends to anyone you know you have intentionally offended, and then move on. Often it seems that people are choosing to hurt and offend one another, when in fact they are frequently unaware that their behavior is offensive. Political correctness is a fear based concept that is often used to hurt or damage someone else when a person refuses to acknowledge their own issues of lack of self-worth, a very intense and painful state. 

To be offended is a choice a person has to make. You are all the perfect children of God, so if you feel that someone has offended you, you are choosing to see yourself as less than perfect and accepting that other’s judgment of you. Why would you do that? Only you know your motives and intentions, and another’s opinion of you is just that, an opinion, an opinion based on misinformation and a lack of knowledge. Do not take offense; instead recognize that the one who is attempting to offend you is in fact crying out for love and acceptance. Respond gently, without anger, and allow the negative energy of the moment to dissipate. 

Because of the intense pain so many experienced in their formative years as humans, it became necessary for them to very quickly deny or bury that pain in order to survive. But “stuff” buried or denied festers and grows like a physical infection, and if not allowed to resurface, be reacknowleged, and then offered comfort will lead to more serious physical or psychological damage. 

Everyone has “stuff” buried or denied that is arising, often seemingly uninvited, at this point in humanity’s awakening process to be acknowledged and released. So, acknowledge what is asking to arise, make space for it to do so, and let it flow through you, like grief. It cannot be rushed, but attempting to understand or recall its origins stops the flow and traps you in a seemingly endless loop of re-experiencing it. 

The pain that arises can be very intense, rather like the pain of a very bad burn, and may cause you to howl, scream, and even writhe in agony. Allowing that flow of emotions is the process of release. So, allow. Stopping the flow because it is painful or embarrassing will not work. 

It is as though you had within you a container filled with ancient pain and suffering – and that container is your heart! You have to allow it all to drain out through your experiencing of it, and when it has you will indeed feel drained and exhausted. But now there is room for Love to fill and heal that empty space within you. Until it is released, allowed to flow through, you have effectively built and are maintaining a defense system that retains the pain and locks out Love. 

When you choose to enter the process of releasing, all this gunk – and even if it seems to be arising unbidden, it means that at a deeper level you have chosen to allow this release to occur – it can be extremely helpful to have with you a loving and intimate friend whom you trust implicitly, to hold you close and offer the comfort you did not receive when the pain originally occurred. It will also be cathartic for the friend, because this kind of release will also be healing for her and for humanity. Remember, you are never alone, there is no separation, and to share the release you are undergoing is a loving exchange that heals you both, along with humanity. 

As you well know, you are on Earth at this time to assist in humanity’s awakening process, and releasing the buried pain and suffering – humanity’s vast lake of trauma – is an essential part of the process. All over the world, locked hearts filled with pain are crying out for Love, but are unable to accept It. There are few among you who do not know someone who is so closed down in fear, guilt, anger, and pain that they will allow no one to approach them, no one to comfort them, and who present an impenetrable barrier to the world around them. 

This barrier is what you are all helping to dissolve, as you make your daily intent to be loving in every situation. Only you can do it. The Love that each one of you has burning within you, and that you have chosen to share so generously, is powerful way beyond your ability to conceive of. If you connect with someone who appears offensive, angry, or unapproachable, intend immediately to send them Love and know that healing has started for them in that moment. 

You are indeed Divine Beings of unassailable Love and Compassion who have willingly chosen an Earth life at this time to assist in the awakening process, and that amazingly altruistic choice you made, knowing how difficult and painful your path would be, is most highly honored here in the spiritual realms, as you will discover when you return Home to hero’s welcomes. 

With so very much love, Saul.
