Forgetting Love is not possible

Message from Jesus via John Smallman for March 21, 2015 

To experience Oneness is really not that difficult, it is just a question of waiting patiently and allowing it to happen. To allow means that you do not attempt to be in control of the moment, of the situation, you just accept what arises, and if nothing arises do not concern yourself about it because nothing arising is very, very close to Oneness. Oneness is a state of alert attention, a state in which you observe – your feelings, your thoughts, your environment, noises and smells, people or things passing – but do not engage with any of them, so that you are always ready for and aware of the next thing, thought, feeling, or sensation that arises in this now moment, the only moment that has real meaning. 

It is a very peaceful state in which you are simply present, nothing more, and it is extremely healing, because doubts and anxieties do not assail you when you relax into that peaceful state of perfect contentment, needing nothing. Do not be discouraged by the fact that nothing appears to happen, because “what happens” is of the illusion, it is a distraction from being. Oneness is just being, and being is to be open to creation, to be open to Love, because your heart then expands and fills and replenishes itself from that infinite loving space that is all that exists. 

Don’t judge yourself, and do forgive yourself for all the judgments you have ever made. When you are forgiven you know that you are free, but only you can forgive yourself. Another’s forgiveness can be pleasing, satisfying, but the only real forgiveness is your own to yourself. And if you have not forgiven yourself you cannot truly forgive anyone else. There is always a “holding on to” the offense or hurt that you are attempting to forgive. You do not forget it, you just store it away to refer to later in case another offense or hurt occurs, and you call this experience, or even wisdom! 

To not be experiencing Love constantly means that you are immersed in the illusion. The occasions of Love it seems that you experience within it are but brief forays out of it. Love is always unconditionally accepting because It has nothing to forgive. If you hold on to a hurt or a grievance, then resentment grows and you shut out Love, and you can only do that within the illusion because outside the illusion, which is tiny, there is only Love. Anything that is in any way out of harmony with Love is unreal; it does not and cannot exist except within the unreal state that is the illusion. And when you do, because it is the human condition, it is very easy either to forget about love – the weak faint image of real Love that is all that you can experience as a human – or to convince yourself that you do not need it because it really only complicates life . . . until the next time you need to take a breath! 

Forgetting Love, which is burying or denying your need for It, and focusing on living, on getting on with your life, is not possible! It is the life force, life itself as you live it as a human, and therefore you are always conscious of it, even if you are not focusing your attention there. When It ceases or severely weakens, then you notice! Those of you who have had NDEs (near death experiences) remain intensely aware of life, of Love, when you return to your human bodies and to all the limitations they appear to impose upon you. 

Remember, in fact you can hardly forget, that fear is a very noticeable aspect of life in the illusion. This is because separation from God is utterly unnatural, even the thought of it is terrifying in the extreme, and it does seem that you are separated. Thus fear lurks constantly just below your level of conscious awareness, forever ready to come to the surface to fill and freeze your mind and shut you off from Love. As most of your experts in human psychology will confirm, you live daily with the fear of death. Why? Because death appears to be the end, the complete termination of existence. 

No one has ever come back from the dead to prove that there is no such thing, and while life may not be wonderful, to lose consciousness permanently does not in the least appeal to the vast majority of humans. Belief in an afterlife can help, but not if you believe that you could be sent to hell! 

The only hell you will ever experience is one of your own making, which can indeed be horrific and cause great suffering, but it is unreal. Once you truly forgive yourself, you will become aware that hell is unreal, because through self-forgiveness you open yourself to Love and to the realization that as a beloved child of God, Who is infinite Love, you are forever and eternally unconditionally accepted and loved. With the arrival of that realization, hell and any images of hell that you may have formed, will dissolve, dematerialize. 

You have your eternal and uninterrupted existence in Reality, within the infinite field of Divine Love that contains and supports all of God’s creation, and outside of which nothing exists because there is no outside. It truly is extremely simple: you exist, you know you do, because you are conscious, therefore you are always in the Divine Presence. 

This being the case, there is no need for worry or anxiety of any kind, and any that you experience as humans is utterly unreal. However, it seems real as long as you maintain it by focusing your attention on it, and on the illusion that supports the games of separation in which you chose to participate. 

To free yourselves from the illusion, to disentangle yourselves from it, it is most helpful to quieten your mind, to let go of and disengage from the almost constant but often unconscious flow of thoughts passing through it concerning your life in the illusion as humans. It is generally an ongoing flow of worry, anxiety, and fear about your value, your severely limited value as an individual in a vast system that you feel sure hardly notices you, and how to increase that value and be noticed – perhaps by taking another workshop, another seminar, another degree, another job, another lover. It becomes an almost constant state of worrying and wondering about what to do to improve your market value! 

But because you are all Divine Beings, you cannot increase your value in any manner at all. God does nothing by halves; therefore your value is already infinite! 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Trust can only happen when you choose to trust another

A Message from Saul by John Smallman, 31 January 2015 

Humanity’s journey through the illusion has been long and painful as you have failed to recognize one another as siblings, as beloved children of God, and instead have engaged with each other in conflict, war, and deceitful practices, due to the fear your apparent separation from God unleashed. For eons you have seen each other as threats and enemies whom you needed to attack or defend yourselves against, and the suffering you have experienced as a result of this enormous misperception has been most painful for you. Now this misperception is dissolving, because so many of you have come to the understanding, through the painful experiences that you have undergone again and again and again, that this kind of behavior can never bring you the peace you are so urgently seeking. 

You still lack trust, and so, rather than loving one another – which is what you will do as the Love field enveloping you penetrates the hearts of even the most fear-driven among you – you are attempting to negotiate non violently to find a path to peace on Earth. This is in fact an enormously progressive step forwards for humanity, because until very recently most believed that the only way to achieve any form of peace was through force of arms and firm suppression of those who could or might attack you. Peace through violence – what an oxymoron! 

Since you started to practice negotiating non violently, it is becoming apparent to all involved that trust has to be established and clearly demonstrated, with absolutely no “wiggle room,” if your negotiations are to have any chance of success. And for many this is a difficult concept to grasp, because trust has been betrayed as a matter of course for eons, when those doing the betraying found themselves in positions of power over the betrayed and “wisely” took advantage of the situation. To trust was seen to be naïve and childish, a laying open of oneself to violation, an invitation to betrayal, something that even small children soon learnt was a very dangerous opportunity to offer to anyone. 

Now, with the Tsunami of Love firmly established on Earth as the environment in which everything happens, and spreading Its influence ever more widely, people are becoming aware of the actuality that the only way to achieve lasting peace on Earth is through trust. Not an enforcement of trust through, for instance, satellite monitoring and military supervision, but just simple unadorned trust that all honor and practice, because it is your nature as children of God. 

In personal relationships, many have been learning to trust one another more and more fully over the last three or four decades, as limitations on the numbers of subjects open for discussion have been falling away, and the resultant openness and honesty have been shown not only to work, but also to uplift and inspire those relationships. That is the effect of Love (capital L), the divine energy field in which all that exists is eternally present, flowing smoothly, abundantly, and pervasively within those relationships without restrictions or blocks of any kind. When Love flows freely like that, joy is the result. In your natural state, embraced by and at home in the ever-present Presence of God’s Love for you, joy is constant. 

Within the illusion, as you struggle with the issues that plague humanity, the apparent lack of your most basic needs – love, acceptance, and recognition – drive you to seek them almost constantly through ego-driven thoughts, words, and actions. You assess others and decide whether or not they can provide for any of those needs, thus making the effort required on your part in getting to know them and have them interact with you worthwhile or not. You are forever looking for a “return on your investment,” and this attitude leads not to trust but to suspicion, the destroyer of trust. 

All are one, there is no separation, it just appears that way, and so lack of trust and betrayal of trust deeply affect everyone involved; there is no escape from lack of trust, because it builds on itself. And so does trust, so do not be misled into thinking that you can beat the system, you always experience what you offer and what you expect to receive. 

Trust can only happen when you choose to trust another and they respond with honesty and integrity. This is the moment on Earth when all the necessary energies are in place to enable you to engage with others with love and with trust and so move forwards and continue on your path of spiritual evolution which is the path out of the illusion. If you pay attention, you will become aware that betrayal, conflict, and war are not the only games on offer. 

All over the world people are waking up to the knowledge that separation is unreal, an impossible state of being, because physical form as you have imagined it is unreal. There is only pure energy, and that energy is Love. But it is a little like electricity, because its use is determined by the user – each one of you using your God-given free will – and is either beneficial to all or damaging to all. 

The simplest analogy is to think of your electrical grids and power systems on Earth. The major ones are either 240 volt or 110 volt alternating current systems. If you provide power from the higher voltage to an appliance built for the lower voltage it will be destroyed. You can think of your individual free wills as multi-voltage systems that can adapt via transformers to power any appliance, but if two of you try to power the same appliance – any kind of relationship – at the same moment, unless you have adjusted your frequencies to be in harmony, then the results can be and often are quite disastrous. 

Trust, honor, respect, acceptance, compassion, and understanding (to name just a few) can come into harmonious alignment; distrust, betrayal, fear, and conflict cannot. The former are all aspects of the divine energy field of Love in which all is contained; the latter are all of the illusion, but because of your belief in it, they can appear very real and can cause you untold pain and suffering. 

The time has come for you to release your tight grip on the illusion, a grip or sharpness of imagery that makes it appear very real, and focus on engaging fully with the field of Love that contains and supports you in every moment. When you do this, stress and anxiety will fall away making room for peace, and the Love that powers and maintains it, to fill your hearts. With peace firmly established there, at the center of your being, you will find yourselves knowing that trust is the way forwards, giving yourselves the courage to offer it and to receive it, as you change the world into the New World for which all have been hoping and praying, just by returning yourselves to an awareness of your true and unchangeable nature and then operating through that state. You are all Love incarnate, and your awareness of that divine truth can no longer remain buried or denied. 

With so very much love, Saul.

Humanity’s return to its natural fully awakened and fully conscious state has never been in doubt

Message from Saul via John Smallman for 18 July 2014 

The fun has started!  Your awakening is, for all of you, unbelievably imminent!  Yes, you may well be thinking “Here we go again, setting ourselves up for another enormous disappointment!”  However, this is most definitely not the case.  Please prepare for the most amazing event ever to occur in humanity’s long and frequently most unhappy history. You are at the tipping point, your awakening is inescapable, divinely assured, and consequently there is absolutely no possibility of your slipping backwards into the mire that is the illusion. 

I am sure that this statement is, at the least, rather unsettling for many of you, because there have been so many apparent delays and disappointments over the years, as you have continued to determinedly and lovingly hold your Light on high, as wayshowers intending to lead humanity forward to its spiritual destiny, to awaken into its natural and blissful state – Love, Oneness with one another and with your heavenly Father, your Source, God. 

After so many “false starts”, it would be amazing if enormous numbers of Red Flags did not arise in your minds as you read or listen to these words.  Be ready to drop them, because your awakening into eternal joy will erase all the fears that caused you to raise them.  There is no need for them, because you are coming Home to Reality – Oneness with God. 

Since the moment of your apparent, and I stress the word “apparent,” separation from God, you have been on the path Home to Him – just like the prodigal son in Jesus’ story or parable in The New Testament.  And, just like the prodigal son in that parable, you have all, from time to time and from human incarnation to human incarnation, experienced the uplifting ups and the catastrophic downs of this illusory journey.  But, as in that story, when you finally arrive Home, disheveled, depressed, and fearful, your Father is already running to meet and greet you with His loving arms WIDE OPEN!  He KNOWS that you are coming, and He calls immediately for a great celebration to welcome you Home. 

He has missed you, and your imminent return brings Him immeasurable joy. And, of course, your joy on awakening will overwhelm you initially, until you remember where you are, and recognize that you have returned Home to where you belong, at One with Him, and realize that the ecstasy, the infinite joy, and the complete freedom from fear and anxiety that now enfold you are what you left behind when you engaged in the illusory experience of separation. 

Until you experienced that illusory state you did not know, and could not possibly have imagined fear, suffering, and anxiety.  And on your return Home – your awakening into your natural state as a divine and fully conscious child of God – all that has caused you pain and suffering will be gone as though it had never existed, and, as you will clearly understand when you awaken, it never did! 

Humanity’s return to its natural fully awakened and fully conscious state has never been in doubt, except in your severely limited illusory minds where doubt and anxiety is endless.  You are all divine beings created by God to enjoy eternal life.  No deaths and rebirths as humans were planned for you, just an eternal life of ecstatic happiness eternally connected to your Father Who’s joy was increased by the joy that each of you experienced. 

But you developed the “teenage syndrome”, the intense desire to demonstrate to your heavenly Father your independence from Him and your ability to live happily and freely without his guidance, interference, or oversight, and so you chose to build and enter into the illusion.  It was like drawing a very detailed picture that tells a story, and then imagining yourself within it, altering the plot as your interests and desires changed.  Finally, you became so absorbed in this unreal world that you could no longer see that it was unreal and illusory, and you forgot that you could adjust the story line.  You forgot that the Reality in which you had been created as children of God, and in which you were sublimely happy, was your true and eternal Home and heritage.  In fact, to make the illusion seem even more real you erased all your memories of your heavenly Home. 

You were lost!  And so you began a spiritual quest to find the supreme intelligence whom you were convinced had created this world of pain and suffering in which you were trapped.  It now seemed that you were helpless and weak beings whom the imaginary and vengeful god that you had invented could destroy at any moment.  You believed that you were unwilling victims in an insane and frightening world in which this vindictive and powerful being had confined you in order to control you and have you pay him obeisance, and then take delight in watching you suffering the punishments that he imposed on you.  Or, you believed that this physical world was all that existed, that god was an illusion, and that this life was your one and only chance to experience life. 

Holding either of these beliefs left you with two choices: 

1) Recognize that as a human of limited abilities and intelligence you needed to find God, a loving father, a superior and infinite intelligence who had obviously created the world, and beseech it to save you from the pain and suffering that you were undergoing – which is a result of your unwise choice to build and enter into the illusion and then forget that you had done so.  But of course, you were unaware that you were the cause of your pain and suffering, because you believed that God had imposed them on you to punish you for your sins.  You then spent your time beseeching this infinite intelligence to have mercy on you, to save you from the horrors that you believed He had created to punish you for your sins, sins that you had invented and judged as unacceptable to Him. 

2) Enjoy the illusion and experience every possibility that it offered you to have fun, to develop your egos and your independence, irrespective of the results that that unthinking and self-centered behavior might have on others.  Within the illusion, each individual found himself to be the absolute center of his own personal universe, able to claim that god, if he believed in a god, was on his side and that anyone else with whom he engaged was there purely to be used and abused as necessary to advance his personal ambitions and agendas, because this would place him in good standing with the god he had invented to support him.  And any pain or suffering that you experienced was as a direct result of others, your enemies, whom your god wanted you to destroy! 

Neither of these choices makes any sense at all, because God is Love, unconditionally accepting of all of His children, and He is constantly calling to them to awaken into Reality, where their eternal joy is assured and guaranteed. 

God is Love.  You were all created in Love, from Love, and by Him for eternal joy.  Anything that is not in alignment with Love is unreal, non-existent, and all that you have to do, need to do, is to let go of and completely release any aspects of yourselves that are not in alignment with Love – judgment, conflict, non-acceptance, attack or defense, dismissal, disrespect, intolerance – and open yourselves to accept and receive the abundant flow of Love that surrounds you in every moment, allowing It to completely suffuse you.  When you do that the Love that fills each one of you expands through you and embraces everyone else in the infinite field of Love where there is only the One. 

Truly, you are blessed and honored, because here in the spiritual realms we see very clearly the trials you have very courageously chosen to undergo, and the difficult lessons that you have chosen to learn and which are absolutely essential steps on your path to awakening.  And now the time for learning, for appreciating and dealing with the difficulties that your chosen paths have been constantly presenting you is drawing to a well-deserved moment of closure.

You, the Lightbearers and Wayshowers have completed all the lessons that humanity chose and needed to learn, and you have passed your “exams” with flying colors.  Continue your daily meditation, prayer, and contemplation practices as, through your heartfelt and God driven intent, you bring humanity to the point of awakening.  Your reward is your release from the limitations and suffering with which the illusion presents all who enter into it, and that release is close.  As you spend time daily intending that humanity awaken, the power of that uncompromising intent ensures that it is achieved.  Your demanding task is complete, so sit back, relax into your quiet inner sanctuaries, and enjoy the awakening as it happens, moment by moment. 

With so very much love, Saul.
