You are becoming aware that you are not the victims of others, of circumstances, or of God

Message from Saul via John Smallman for 5 January 2014 

The Reality of the Oneness of all of creation is finally dawning on humanity, as is the importance of working harmoniously, creatively, and cooperatively together to heal yourselves from all the suffering that you have inflicted on each other, and to enable you to start healing and repairing the damage that you have collectively caused Planet Earth. This growing and essential awareness is an excellent reason to celebrate, because it indicates that over the eons much has been learnt and that from those lessons wisdom is growing.  Congratulations! From here, you can only move forwards, because you have learnt far too much to allow yourselves to slip backwards into the unconcern and disrespect for one another and for your beautiful planet that has for eons been the norm of human behavior. 

You are definitely leaving sleep and unrealistic dreams behind, as your awareness of your divine connectedness comes more fully into your conscious minds. You are One with God, your eternal Source of being, and as your awareness of this divine and undeniable truth intensifies your ability to forget, to switch off to your true nature weakens and fades from view. You are becoming consciously accountable, you are becoming aware of your responsibilities, you are realizing that the environment in which you are presently experiencing life, consciousness, is something that you yourselves are building and maintaining in every moment. You are becoming aware that you are not the victims of others, of circumstances, or of God, but that what you experience is a conscious choice that you have made, so that you will undergo and engage with the lessons that you know that you need to learn to move forwards on your spiritual paths. 

All your paths are spiritual ones, wisely chosen to ensure that you experience the lessons that you have each decided – with the help and guidance of the unsurpassed wisdom of your spiritual guides and mentors – that you need to learn. Realizing that you are not victims of your environment, of others’ nefarious decisions to crush or betray you, or of God’s judgment upon you, enables you to move forwards on your paths to enlightenment, to awakening, with the necessary enthusiasm and confidence to ensure that you reach your destination. 

For eons you have been apparently trapped in an endless cycle of repetitious and intensely painful experiences over which it has seemed that you had no control.  You were, it seemed to you, at “the mercy of the gods!” – earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, storms, other peoples wars, betrayals and catastrophes. Now you are seeing that what happens is a result of your own beliefs, attitudes, actions, and behaviors. Realizing this enables you to change the environment that you experience, and the situations in which you find yourselves “inadvertently” involved, by changing your expectations. 

None of your experiences are inadvertent. Everything that happens to you has a far deeper meaning than you can understand or access as human beings with your severely limited intelligence and your equally limited underlying wisdom – if it can even be called wisdom! You chose, for very good reasons, reasons that were perfectly clear to you prior to your individual incarnations, to undergo a variety of experiences as humans in the limited environment that you constructed for yourselves. And you have learnt lessons of incredible value, as you have struggled with this worldly environment and the limitations that your physical bodies and their intrinsic energy fields, by their very nature, have imposed upon you. 

Your true nature, the nature to which you are inextricably and eternally connected is Love, Godliness, Oneness with your Source. You can pretend, as you have been doing for eons in the time driven illusion in which you experience life as humans, that you are alone, individual, disconnected from the Source of all existence, abandoned, betrayed and basically unreal – chemical reactions in an inanimate and forever unchanging and basically unliving, in fact dead and unconscious universe. 

However, you are in fact moving permanently away from that unreal and unsupported belief, that fearful state of mistrust, as Love floods your apparently tiny and individual worlds – where it has seemed that you are, each one of you, small and insignificant beings at the center of an incredibly large and threatening universe which is constantly striving to crush and destroy you. It is unrelentingly encouraging you to open to the possibility that you are far, far more than your bodily reflections in the mirror suggest. And of course, what Love is suggesting to you, is indeed offering to you, is Reality as a replacement for the threatening and illusory environment in which you are presently experiencing very unsatisfactory, terrifying and exhausting lives that have nothing to offer as a reward for living honestly except death! What an unrealistic outcome or finale to a life spent struggling with such unrelieved hardship and woes. 

Go within, find that quiet, spacious, and welcoming inner sanctum that you all possess, ask for help, Love, and guidance, and start to awaken into the understanding of your divine and eternal nature. As you do so, your fears and anxieties will dissolve, being unreal, and you will start to experience an awareness of your divinity that will bring you an abundance of joy, as you once more connect with the spiritual realms, where you live always at one with God. 

With so very much love, Saul.

When you take time out, you move into greater alignment with the Love field

Message from Jesus through John Smallman for 17 February 2013

Within your human spirit your divine connection resides permanently and irremovably, because you were created as divine beings eternally at one with your Creator. You have been mostly unaware of this over the eons because of the severe restrictions and limitations that your illusory environment imposes upon you. But now, with new and powerful energies embracing you all, you are becoming once more aware of your divine connection and are opening your hearts to receive and accept the loving spiritual guidance that is constantly on offer. This acceptance is essential to the awakening process that you are undergoing — a process that will reach its inevitable conclusion with you all awakening into eternal joy. 

You were created in joy to delight in that state eternally, and nothing can prevent you from awakening into it because it is your natural state — it is Reality, your Home. Love is the energy of God’s creation, and it is joyful, happy, exhilarating, inspiring, and uplifting . . . infinitely so. Consequently, Life — the aspect of God’s divine field of Love that enables full spiritual consciousness — satisfies the divine creative urge by constantly expanding, sharing Itself indiscriminately and abundantly in an ever-ongoing outflowing of creative energy, thus providing and maintaining a limitless smorgasbord of heavenly self-expression. 

Creation is changeless, and yet it is constantly expanding and innovating, because God wishes to amuse Himself and His children with an infinite selection of new ideas and concepts, which will add further abundance to the divine energy field in which all that is conceivable has its eternal existence. Boredom, unfashionableness, decay, or death are of the illusion, where newness is constantly sought. In Reality no seeking is necessary; all that is conceived of is instantly present, further adding to the abundant wonder and beauty that is Creation. 

When you are taking time out alone during the day to go within and commune with Spirit — your Higher Self, the field of Divine Love — focus on allowing your hearts to open in acceptance, as you surrender to the Love that envelops you. If you cannot sense or feel the warmth or the embrace in which It enfolds you, it means that you have not surrendered totally, that you are trying to influence or importune the Divine instead of just allowing the Divine to influence you. You will know when you are truly in contact, because you will be overwhelmed by the total and unconditional acceptance you experience ... without judgment of any kind ... just complete acceptance of you as you are, in the moment. 

It is in your own highest interests to make time available daily to go within, and I cannot stress this strongly or frequently enough. The illusion is a vast series of distractions. Everything that engages your attention for whatever reason, or encourages you to engage, is a distraction! That leads you to forget that you are spiritual beings having a bodily experience. Your bodies do need some attention to keep them in running order, but basically they can run themselves, as they give you clear signals whenever they need food or rest. And when you are not receiving those signals, your egoic minds are up and running, almost ceaselessly, as they seek new and interesting stories to tell you. 

When you take time out, relaxing, as your thoughts flow freely by, your energy levels move into greater alignment with the Love field enveloping you. Peace descends upon you, relieving any untoward stresses, and your guides can communicate easily with you: either directly – you can feel or sense their presence; or indirectly — through your intuition or inner knowing. In those moments of peace, issues and problems with which you are dealing become less urgent, less intrusive, and the answers that will occur to you will be wiser and more appropriate. Take time out regularly during the day and enjoy the reduction in stress and the increase in peace that you then experience. 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

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.
