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.

You who are reading this message are not doing so by chance

Message from Jesus via John Smallman for 2 May 2016 

Human consciousness is an ongoing spiritual evolutionary process that you collectively chose to undergo, and to which there are no limits. Limits are boundaries that you built around the illusory environment that you inhabit as human beings but which you are free, individually, to dismantle or move beyond. More and more of you are realizing this and choosing to move through them to an awareness of the limitless possibilities that creation offers you in every moment. Those who do come to an awareness that in Truth you are completely free! As more of you open to this wondrous Truth and acknowledge it, you enlarge the gaps in the field of limitations from small individual pathways to an immense and interconnected highway that all of humanity can and will use to depart the illusion. 

Passing out of the limiting environment in which you have spent eons seemingly controlled and restricted by unseen forces of enormous power, you awaken into an infinite field of unimaginably unlimited possibilities. This is what humanity is in the process of doing right now. 

The worldwide chaos and confusion that is presently arising, is identified by humanity as an endless and enormous theater of operations in which global warming, tectonic plate shifts, extreme weather systems, interminable wars, unconscionable corporate and political corruption and greed are seemingly leading to an inevitable global catastrophe that will destroy the environment and most if not all of the life forms present on Earth including, of course, humanity. The problems humanity is facing appear almost insoluble. 

This is not the case. What is happening is the removal of the blinders that hid from you the awareness of the interconnectedness of everything. As you start to see the interconnectedness of absolutely everything, you cannot help also seeing the insanity of the way in which you have been attempting to live your lives separated from one another. Modern psychology has shown you that most people live ego-driven, that is fear-driven, lives in which each one appears to be the center of his own tiny universe, a universe on which the universes of others impinge causing pain and suffering for all. And much of that suffering is in fact the result of denied feelings that give rise to powerful emotions that are then projected onto others from whom they are reflected back whence they came, onto oneself. 

Awakening is an opening to the awareness that all those seeming individual universes that humans appear to inhabit are in fact one fully integrated part of the infinite field of Divine Love which is All That Is. A sensed or known awareness that there is no separation, that all are indeed One. God is the infinite field in which all of creation has its eternal existence in perfect harmonious cooperation where each and everyone lovingly honors and respects every other. There are no divisions, disagreements or conflicts, because all recognize one another as one and the same, even though individuated and expressing themselves in an entirely personal and unique fashion. The differences are embraced with intense joy, because they add magnificently to the ongoing creative intent, God's Divine Will. 

As you have been told so often, there is only God. Within the illusion, you are limited by words and language and so you have many words for God. I use the word God here, because it is familiar and comfortable for the channel who grew up in a religious and cultural environment that used, and still uses that word. You have to remember that words are but pointers with no intrinsic meaning, they are convenient indicators but unreal. I will continue to use that word purely for convenience, along with Source, Love, Divine Will, and the pronouns Him and Her, interchangeably. 

To continue, there is only God. That is NOT a limit. It means that all that exists, exists within God, and God is infinite – without limits, without boundaries, without end, without time, without space, all of which are limits! As some of your sages and mystics have suggested – God Is. No other attempt at definition is necessary, or indeed meaningful. 

God can only be experienced. To experience God, infinite Bliss, all that is not in perfect alignment with Her has to be discarded, abandoned, dissolved, released. Humanity is presently in the process of doing that, and it can be very messy! All attachments to unloving intentions, thoughts, words, or actions have to be let go. All judgments of self or others have to be let go. Your hearts are the physical manifestations of your Oneness with the Divine, the physical aspects representing the center of your eternal being, and into them you have loaded, over the eons, fear, hatred, anger, resentment, shame, judgment, bitterness, and worthlessness, among others, as aspects of yourselves that you have then disowned and projected onto others, because they are far too painful to take within yourselves. 

But, they are within yourselves, because all are One. However, the self in which they reside is the ego. The ego is an apparently split off or separate part of your Self. Your Self is eternally One with God, and with all sentient beings, and can never be separated from Her. To separate would be to cease to exist, and that is impossible, because what God creates is eternal. Your egos are the small selves that you imagined into being to enable you to play the game that is the illusion. 

Modern psychology uses the term “the inner child” to refer to the part or aspect of a human that hides behind the mask that a person presents to the world. It hides, because during its childhood it was severely hurt and it does not wish to be hurt again. However, it continues to be hurt, because it feels vulnerable and insecure having never grown to maturity, to real adulthood. Its scholastic, academic, and physical talents and skills allow it to present a mask of confidence to the world, but behind that mask a small and frightened child still resides. 

Psychotherapy in many forms is used to help that inner child gain confidence and self-acceptance by enabling it to see that all its negative self-judgments are utterly invalid. The effectiveness of the efforts of competent and compassionate psychotherapists depends on the suffering the child has had to endure. 

However, every human is offered, through life lessons of many kinds, the opportunities necessary to heal the inner child, and each of you has at least one spiritual guide who accompanies you at all times to assist you with this demanding process. 

Over the eons, there have been many lives, many experiences, much pain and suffering that has not been healed, and so in this period of humanity's evolution, which is always ongoing and always spiritual, many have volunteered to incarnate solely in order to assist humanity in the release of this enormous residue of buried, denied, or unacknowledged suffering. It is most certainly far too painful for just one human to deal with. Enormous sharing of suffering is occurring, allowing it to be released in amounts that individuals can deal with when they are supported both in the physical realms by loving friends and wise and compassionate therapists, as well as by those of us in the spiritual realms who are also nudging you toward self-acceptance, and self-forgiveness. 

Very many of you have buried or denied pain, pain you feel at some level you either deserve, or that, being mature adults, you should be strong enough to rise above. But on this painful and horrifying battleground, which is intensely real and physical for some, from which you are picking yourselves up, you need enormous amounts of help. You cannot arise from it alone. Attempting to do so is to remain in the unreal state of separation from which there seems to be no means of escape. Often intense shame deters people from seeking help; shame disguised as anger, which is then projected outwards causing further damage. It is from states like this that the decision to take one's own life is frequently made. But when that happens, it does not resolve the issues from which the person is fleeing. 

You who are reading this message are not doing so by chance, coincidence, or accident, but because you made the most compassionate and loving choice to be on Earth at this moment to assist in humanity's awakening process, a process that includes and involves every sentient being who has ever experienced life on Earth! You are here to help the multitudes who still remain utterly unaware that they are spiritual beings having a temporary human experience. 

As you have been so often told each one of you, being in truth One with Source, are beings of enormous power, infinite power, because that is how you were created. That power is with you in every moment and for all eternity. Your physical forms are temporary vehicles composed from your energy fields of Love, and your earthly task is to hold the intent to be loving in every moment and in every situation. That intent is extremely powerful and it is an irreplaceable and essential aspect of humanity's awakening process. 

You cannot awake alone! Why? Because all are One! You could perhaps imagine yourselves as forming the channel that is guiding the separated energy fields of humanity back to Oneness with Source. Separation has never occurred, and could never occur, but because of the power you were given when God so lovingly created you, you were able to establish a very real seeming physical environment in which to play your games, and eventually become frighteningly lost. 


Know that you are most highly honored here in the spiritual realms, to which you will shortly return, for making the most wondrous and compassionate choice to incarnate at this moment in Earth's history to assist in this mighty heavenly project whose success is divinely assured. 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

When “stuff” comes up . . . rejoice!

A Message from Jesus via John Smallman 

As the moment of humanity’s awakening approaches, many are experiencing unexpected emotions of great intensity arising into their awareness – the remembering and re-experiencing of long forgotten or deeply buried trauma – “stuff’ that they thought was over and done with, that they thought was healed. Childhood wounds and suffering are often very deeply buried to enable the child to survive and grow, but in later life they surface to be healed, and re-experiencing them can be very painful and surprisingly intense. 

If they are not addressed as they arise the suffering intensifies. To address and release them is part of humanity’s awakening process, because you will awaken into Love, Reality, Source, where anything that is not in alignment with that wondrous state, your natural state, has to be left behind, discarded or dissolved before you awaken, because the unreal cannot enter into Reality. 

When you go within, to your holy sanctuary of Divine Love – and no one is without one – tell God of your suffering and ask for help to let it go by surrendering it to Her. She is male and female in perfect harmonious equilibrium and will embrace and soothe your troubled hearts, allowing those ancient and painful traumas to just dissolve into the nothingness from which they seemed to arise. Remember, there is only Now. Nothing remains from the past, which is unreal, and nothing hangs over you as the future approaches, because that too is unreal. You are, and always are, the beloved and untroubled children of God residing now in His Presence in utter peace and joy. What you, as humans, experience apart from Love, is unreal and cannot last. 

Make daily visits to that holy inner sanctuary where Love resides – permanently – open your hearts, and allow It to embrace you. All that you need do is allow by surrendering to It, and then you will realize that you are One with It, and that indeed there is no separation. Doing that allows all that buried or denied trauma, suffering, or plain emotional confusion with which you are all burdened to arise into your awareness, and then, if you do not engage with it by trying to remember all that happened in that particular instance, or try to understand it, it will dissolve. It will probably not be instantaneous because it is like grief, it has to flow through, and because you are living as humans in time, it takes time and you will feel it, possibly very intensely, so have tissues at hand. (John has been doing a lot of this over the last few months.) 

When the flow ceases, you will feel relaxed, probably quite tired, and at peace . . . until the next time! But, it will come to an end, and the more willingly you allow it in, the more quickly will it pass. Men probably have more of a problem with this than women, because they are mostly enculturated to be tough. And being tough means not showing emotions, therefore blocking their emotions (although anger is often seen as tough, and is therefore acceptable!) has become normal, so when sadness or suffering of any kind arises, leading to crying, it is almost automatic to shut it down. So, for men, it will probably be necessary to find somewhere safe, somewhere they know that they will not be seen or disturbed, and thus safe from the embarrassment of being seen not only to have intense feelings, but to be sobbing their hearts out! It is NOT unmanly to do so, that is just an unfortunate male stereotype that needs to be discarded. 

To release all this buried and painful emotional trauma is an absolutely essential part of your and humanity’s awakening process. However, if you have already done a lot of work on yourselves, what you experience may well be as a result of your wise and loving choice to assist in the collective release of eons of trauma that have resulted from the painful games in which all have been involved since the separation experience was initiated. 

When “stuff” comes up . . . rejoice! It means that you have made the decision to release all that is holding you back by opening to Love, your true and eternal nature. It will be unsettling, buried emotions disclosed are always unsettling, but allowing them to flow will bring you to a space in which inner peace will enfold you. That place of inner peace is closed off to you when you deny or bury your feelings, because that intense resistance you are living with closes off access to the comforting arms of Love. Love feels! You know that, because you have all at some time experienced Love offered and have accepted It, even if only briefly, though probably not as you are reading this. 

Love is what the search for meaning is all about, and has always been all about, but the games of survival that you have been playing for eons have required you to build defenses against attack and betrayal, and those defenses also lock out Love. Love is always vulnerable, undefended, and amazingly strong and powerful. When you open to Love, you no longer need defenses of any kind. Allowing the pain and suffering of past traumas to arise in your awareness and flow out through you washes away those fearful needs, freeing you to engage fully with your Source, from Whom you have never for even a moment been separated. 

Go within and discover the treasures that have been stored there over the eons. Every single loving thought, word, or deed you have ever engaged with, no matter how seemingly inconsequential it may have seemed to you, has helped create a store house of treasures that you will discover with delighted astonishment when you awaken into full conscious awareness of who you truly are. 

Lay down your masks, the false selfs you present to the world, open your hearts in vulnerability and delight in the freedom you experience. When you do, you will find others, also unmasked, responding to you, and true relationships, holy relationships, will be established where you would previously have thought them impossible. You are all Beings of Light, of Love, and when you uncloak yourselves by dropping your masks or false selfs and offer Love to others, instead of cautious observance as you check for the safety of the situation, the responses you call forth will delight and astound you. 

You are Love, and so is everyone else, therefore engage only lovingly, and exult in the wonder that results. This is the time for which you have been yearning, so open your hearts and engage fully with the joy that awaits you. 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Do not castigate yourselves for errors or missed opportunities

Message from Jesus via John Smallman for 8 April 2016 

We are all One, there is no separation. So many in the spiritual realms have told you this over and over again, and still you are filled with doubts and skepticism, despite all the evidentiary proof to the contrary. So, we just have to keep on telling you this, until it finally resonates with you and your doubts and skepticism fall away, as they surely will. You are loved and cherished beyond your ability to imagine or conceive of, and we want you to know that, so we will continue to bring it to your attention as we wait patiently for you to wake up. Our patience, unlike yours, is endless, there being, in truth, no such thing as time. What is, is. 

To awaken is your destiny and you cannot avoid it. However, you can choose to delay that moment indefinitely. Engaging fully with the illusion by allowing yourselves to be seriously concerned with worldly problems that do not affect you directly is a choice to delay that inevitable awakening. It seems that there is enormous suffering and poverty throughout the world that humanity needs to address and put to rights, and there is, but it needs to be addressed spiritually. 

You are all spiritual beings having a temporary human experience. It is a little like going to the movies or to the theatre, you enter into an imaginary place and story for a short period to be aroused, stimulated, and excited. Taking part in political, religious, business, sporting, intellectual, or conflict zone events also arouse, stimulate, and excite you in a similar fashion, although that seems far more real to you. In fact, there is very little difference! The illusion is illusory, a dream or a nightmare, depending on the part you choose to play in it, and you make that choice in every moment! 

All of you have engaged in personal conflicts of various types – physical fights or sporting activities that you intend to win at all costs, intellectual battles to prove yourselves right and others wrong, political, religious, and philosophical arguments and disagreements; the list of activities in which you are required to take sides is practically endless – and when you win, you experience a momentary sense of glory or of a job well done, and when you lose, you experience disappointment, maybe extreme disappointment, anger, or depression. And when you look back on these events, ten or twenty years later, the importance they had for you at the time has faded or totally dissolved. You might even think to yourselves “What on Earth was I thinking, what was all that about?” 

However, if you positively establish and maintain yourselves on a path of love, treating all others with respect and compassion, refusing to judge anyone – of course, in certain situations some discernment or discrimination will be called for – and basically intending to operate from your true nature, your eternal and spiritual nature, intending to be loving in every situation, then, when you look back on your lives, you will be aware of a sense of satisfaction, of peace, and of personal growth that has resulted in you gaining some wisdom along with an increasing ability to accept whatever arises. Living in the moment, as opposed to focusing your attention on the glories or pains of the past or hoped for pleasures and joys or worries and anxieties that lie ahead, is a far more uplifting and satisfying practice. 

Remember, before you incarnated as a human, you laid out a life path that would constantly present you with the lessons that you had chosen to learn. That path is always there for you, however, due to the intense attraction of the distractions with which the illusion presents you – options to judge, to engage in conflict, or to just follow your moment to moment egoic drives – you frequently take diversions from your path. Sometimes these diversions seem to bring you temporary pleasure and satisfaction, while at others they lead you into what appear to be dead ends or even personal catastrophes. But always, what arises is a nudge or opportunity to return to your path. 

Obviously, the path you chose will not always be a path of sweetness and light, but, if you recognize and learn the lessons presented to you, it will provide you with a sense of its appropriateness, a sense that where you are is where you are meant to be, and that will be immensely satisfying. Generally speaking, if you are consistently experiencing pain and suffering, you are being guided to change direction. Even if it is not possible for you to change the outer environment or situation in which you find yourselves, you most certainly can change your perception of it. In other words, you can call on your spiritual guides for help in understanding the lessons being presented to you, and for assistance in accepting with good grace whatever arises. 

Whatever the situations in which you find yourselves embroiled, if you make the choice and the intent to be loving, accepting, and forgiving – of yourselves as well as of others – you will find that your perception does change, enabling you to deal far more positively with what is arising. Truly, to make the most of your experiences as a human on Earth, all you need do is to accept, without judgment, whatever arises, and accept that there is a lesson for you here that you have chosen to receive. 

As I keep reiterating, Love is always the answer whatever the issue. If you are unable to feel loving that is a very strong signal that you need to withdraw, to go within and settle into your innermost holy sanctuary – everyone of you has a holy innermost sanctuary – and then ask us, your loving guides and mentors in the spiritual realms, for assistance in finding the peace that resides within you. As that sense of peace begins to pervade your consciousness, you can release your hold on whatever is upsetting you such as, judgment, resentment, anger, or blame, all of which prevent you from dealing with the situation that is disturbing you. 

Obviously, if it has brought you suffering, the suffering may take time to dissipate, much like grief, which can only be accepted and lived through. You have the saying “This too will pass.” And surely it will. If you can intend to be patient, which is difficult in a world where everything appears to have needed to have been done yesterday, and allow yourselves a few moments, moments in which you take a few very deep breaths, you will experience an easing of the stress that you are undergoing. Then a knowing that you can cope will arise, and options that you had not seen or ignored will present themselves to you. 

Be kind, loving, and forgiving to yourselves daily. Do not castigate yourselves for errors or missed opportunities. Instead, remind yourselves that you are exactly where you are supposed to be, where you have chosen to be, and that your guides are with you in every moment waiting to flood your hearts with Love when you choose to invite them in. The only reason you feel unloved is because in your fearful unacceptance of the fact that you are a divine being, a beloved child of God, you close your hearts as a defense against suffering and pain. Open your hearts! Love envelops you in every moment waiting for the opportunity to embrace and enfold you when you choose to allow it to do so, instead of focusing on how unfairly you believe that you have been treated. Focusing there is self-defeating when you could instead be enjoying an uplifting and inspiring Divine Hug! 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

The nightmare of worldwide poverty, conflict and suffering will cease

Message from Jesus via John Smallman for 26 March 2016 

We are all evolving spiritually, because Creation, Reality is ever ongoing, there is no final destination, just a continual growth in joy and happiness that continuously uplifts and inspires. God, our Father, the Source, All That Is wills our happiness and joy and so it will be accomplished. Life within God, where all Life occurs, is an ever-expanding journey of joy. In contrast, the human life experience is one in which you strive to accomplish something and on achieving what you intended soon find it unsatisfying, and so you seek something new to replace or supersede it. 

Satisfaction is impossible within the illusion, because nothing there is Real. Temporary pleasure or satisfaction does of course occur, but the pleasure or satisfaction cannot and does not last. Life is eternal, but human life is a very limited experience in which there is great striving to prevent, avoid, or deny the inevitable – death – that is driven by fear. But death is just a releasing of limitation and an opening into Reality – fully conscious awareness of eternal existence within the Oneness that is All That Is. Reality is what all are seeking, but cannot find, because they look outside themselves instead of within. 

Lasting joy and happiness, where you know and experience yourself as One with Source, and therefore with all of Creation, can only be found within. That is why all your guides and mentors from the spiritual realms keep on stressing the absolute essentiality of taking time out daily, and also throughout the day, to go within and be in peace there with the inextinguishable Divine Light that dwells there – the Real You. You will not find it elsewhere, as many self-help books might suggest, because there is no “elsewhere.” Within is Reality, without is illusion or dream. 

However, you are so engaged with the illusion and with the distractions with which it constantly tempts you – and that includes anxieties, worries, accidents, illnesses, as well as the hoped for but short-lived joys that you are constantly seeking – that you have great difficulty just spending “down-time,” that is quiet time alone and undisturbed by the noise of daily living. You actively seek distraction – on your computer, your phone, texting, listening to the radio, watching television, having upsetting arguments – and what you seek, you find! 

Even when you decide to spend time in meditation, contemplation, chanting, praying, etc., you are still very much open to whatever distractions may arise, because you expect nothing of note or importance to arise when you are alone, quiet and feeling bored, fearful. In fact, you mostly expect to be disappointed, because alone by yourself you imagine yourself as nothing, a small and insignificant being, even worthless, and you feel that you need the continual presence others to even feel alive! Yet, nothing could be further from the truth. 

When you allow yourselves to be quiet and allow your thoughts to flow unmolested, unengaged with, peace occurs. Initially, it can be rather difficult to reach that state, because your egoic mind, the mind that you use constantly in everyday living, keeps demanding your attention, or so it seems. It's just that you are so accustomed to responding, or rather reacting instantly to the distractions with which it presents you, that it has become an ingrained habit out of which you need to be trained. 

That ability to be aware of all input and to react instantly is very valuable at times – driving the car, watching a small child in the swimming pool – it's the “fight or flight” instinct that has served you well for eons. But now, as you evolve spiritually, it is essential to be able to distance yourself from instant reaction and judgment. 

To be in a meditative state is to be fully alert, you miss nothing, you just do not engage. It is the difference between fishing in a quiet river, totally relaxed and at peace as you watch the water flow past, or taking part in or watching a competitive sport where you are fully engaged in every moment and aware only of the game. Both states are fine, but you need to be able to choose which one you wish to be in and then be there. 

From childhood, as you become ever more aware of what is going on around you, up into adulthood, that reactive state of awareness becomes ever more efficient, so much so that you have to make a very positive effort, and practice constantly, to reach the meditative state of quiet alertness which offers tremendous benefits both in terms of reduced stress and anxiety, and in seeing things with greater clarity, as your emotions cease to control you. Emotions are very useful, because they give you a very individual sense of who you are and what you like or dislike as a human. 

In Reality there is only Love, which is all-encompassing and which brings you untold joy. Emotions are limiting, but often feel like incredibly powerful driving forces, which can seem to be utterly beyond your control. And many are controlled by their emotions; you see evidence of this all around you, from temper tantrum driven infants to suicide bombers. Emotions, when you allow them to be your sole motivating intent, narrow your focus, often with laser-like intensity, so that you see only a very small part of the situation in which you are involved instead of the bigger picture, and so you react, frequently most unwisely, which leads to suffering and regret. 

To take time out daily to be quiet and alone, that is separated from human interactions and other worldly distractions, is an essential part of your spiritual evolution. All of humanity is evolving spiritually, even when it is unseen and unacknowledged, because that is the purpose of human existence. You chose to experience separation from your Source, but you have also chosen to return to Oneness, and, as humans, most of you remain unaware of either of those choices! 

However, a great awakening is underway, the Love of God, the energy field of infinite power in which all that exists is eternally enveloped, has flooded the planet and everyone has wet feet! Wet feet cannot be ignored, you have to do something about them, and changing your socks is not enough. You have to deal with the Source of that Wetness, and you do so by coming to the awareness that in fact you do not have wet feet, you do not have feet at all, because you are One with the Wetness, You and the Wetness are One, the Divine Source from which Creation is flowing eternally, and from which you have never been separated. 

Separation from God, the Source of all that exists is impossible, it can only be imagined. To be separated would be to cease to exist, you know that, and so to even imagine it, which you do as humans, is indeed terrifying. But that terror is also unreal, an imagined state that seems very real to you, especially as you look around and see the intense pain that many are suffering throughout the world. Humans attacking one another in fear; preemptive attacks in the hope of saving self by destroying another. But, as deep within you all truly know, an attack on another is an attack on oneself. 

It is the growing awareness of this that is leading you forward toward wakening from the dream. And in your growing awareness you see more clearly the insanity of the world and the violence and hatred it appears to encourage. The dichotomy between the hatred that you see demonstrated and the love that you want to share and experience is very confusing and unsettling for you. It seems that there is nothing you, as individuals, can do to change the world. And, if you view it like that – a need to change the world – there is no answer. Everyone has a different idea of who and what needs to be changed and how, and consequently harmonious cooperation to achieve peace on Earth is impossible. You cannot change another! 

The only way forward, and many are now realizing this, is to change yourselves by claiming your true nature and living it. Yes, in the world you see the innocent and unarmed abused, tortured, and killed, and it has always been like this. But where love and reconciliation have been tried they have worked. Do not allow yourselves to be persuaded that Love does not work. It is the only thing that works. Refuse to engage in attack or defense, it is utterly against and in opposition to your divine nature, and you know it and feel intensely uncomfortable when you do. You may attempt to justify yourselves by telling yourselves that there was no other option, that violence has to be opposed by violence, otherwise intense suffering occurs, but deep within you know this is not true, and that violence inevitably leads to more violence. 

There is no such thing as a just war! You all know this! To deny it does not make it just. 

Uncountable numbers have acknowledged this, and although violence and suffering persist, the Tsunami of Love is opening hearts all across the planet to bring an end to the nightmare in which you have been seemingly enveloped for so long. 

Open your hearts, if you have not already done so, and intend with all your heart to extend and intensify the Tsunami of Love that envelops you in every moment, and watch in joy as conflicts wind down and terminate. You are making it happen by your own intent to be only loving whatever the situation, and you have infinite assistance from those in the spiritual realms, in Reality. The nightmare of worldwide poverty, conflict, and suffering will cease. 

Avoid all temptation to express anger violently. When you feel uncomfortable emotionally, upset, angry, resentful, or hateful, you are coming from ego, which enjoys chaos and confusion and the discomfort it causes. So, when you feel it, instead of acting on it, just let it go or wash over you and move on out, it will. In your intense awareness of anger be strong and instead of engaging with it, intend to expand your energy fields of Love to integrate with the Tsunami of Love, so that you can love what has angered you and forgive it. 

Doing this, brings you peace, although your ego may well attempt to persuade you not to be at peace but to express your righteous anger because you have been wronged. However, when you operate from your real Self, from your quiet inner temple, peace and love flow through you calming the storms that are arising within you and smoothing the troubled waters of your emotions. That is why I keep stressing the importance of going within daily to be quietly at one with your real or Higher Self and with God. 

That is your task on Earth at this critical moment in humanity's evolution, because that is what is bringing humanity to wakefulness. You cannot fail, because it is God's Will and yours that humanity awakens, but your loving input from your inner temple is essential to dissolve the remaining foundations on which the illusion depends. 

Your loving brother, Jesus.

You have what it takes to assist in humanity’s awakening process

Message from Saul via John Smallman for 23 January 2016 

Much is happening now that will delight you! Truly, enormous changes are taking place that will permanently alter the illusory world in which you experience being human. And these changes are for the good of all on Earth. Yes, even those who appear to be wedded to the dark. You have been praying for this and intending for it to happen, your collective intent has now become unalterable, and it will be maintained. 

Your Love and your loving intentions have changed the world! There is no going back to the old ways of deception, betrayal, and conflict, you (all of humanity) can only move forwards further into Love. It is your natural state, you have recognized It, and It is drawing you onwards, forwards, ever closer to your heavenly destiny, because you were created there in infinite joy to experience and enjoy that state eternally, and so you will return there. 

The nightmare, the separated state in which you have been experiencing so much suffering, seemingly for eons, is dissolving. You sense this, you feel this, as your unaddressed issues rise to the surface of your conscious awareness to be acknowledged and released. You may find this unsettling, disturbing, and be tempted to seek distraction. Do not! Face these dark energies arising within you, but do not identify with them or engage with them, just let them be. Observe them, realize that they are not you and let them flow through. To engage with them or identify with them gives them some of your energy, enabling them to fight with you and suggest that you are not good enough, that you are unworthy, thus leaving you feeling drained and depressed. 

Every sentient being that God has ever created, has his or her own individual energy field created at that same moment of creation, while at the same time remaining One eternally with Him. The field of Oneness, God’s divine energy field can never in any way be diminished, and you can never be separated from It, but you can allow yours to be diminished by choosing to engage with the dark or misguided ones who are lost and terrified in the illusion, and who need to feed on the energy of others, because they feel themselves utterly separated from their own energy fields, with their very existence dangerously threatened. 

Your individual energy fields are the life force that runs through your bodies. When you chose to experience separation from your Divine Source, you chose to experience your energy fields as separated from the Divine One. Then you found that you could hide from the Light and seemingly create the dark. The dark is but an absence of Light, but that absence is terrifying and it seems to have immense power. The reason that it appears to be so powerful is because you, having apparently separated your individual energy field from God’s energy field, feel extremely weakened – the Light has, as it were, gone out, and the darkness appears all-enveloping. 

Of course, the Light has not gone out, it is just that your awareness of it weakens, when you focus on the dark. Be cognizant of the dark, send it your love, your compassion, your forgiveness, but do not engage with it or mistake it for yourselves. It is unreal and you are Real! The love, compassion, and forgiveness you send to it assists others who are seemingly deeply immersed in it, shows them that there is Light at the end of the tunnel, and encourages them to move towards It. 

As you have been told so often, your loving intentions are enormously powerful, even when you are feeling low or depressed. Those feelings are just passing through, just like your unaddressed issues mentioned above, so do not engage with them as that slows their passing. Be aware of those feelings, acknowledge them. They may be as a result of painful events in your past that still have a hold on you. Offer them love and comfort rather than dismissing or denying them, and thus allow inner healing to occur. Peace will follow. 

Your nature, being Love, is therefore also Peace. When you worry about problems or issues that appear important to you, you shut yourselves off from peace, because peace is free of worry. Frequently, when you worry, the issues that you are worrying about seem to grow in importance, taking up more space in your minds, and leaving less room for peace, which at its simplest is just freedom from worry. Practical rational thought about how to deal with issues makes sense, and that, for instance, includes accepting that perhaps in this moment you do not have all the information you need to deal with a particular issue. 

Instead of worrying, while you wait, move on to another issue for which you do have information, or take time to smell the roses – or perhaps play in the snow! Doing something that you enjoy, without guilt, is very healing, because it demonstrates to you that you care for yourselves, and it will put smiles on your faces. And smiling intensifies your enjoyment, honoring you and helping to dissolve your worries. 

To honor and respect yourselves is very important. God created you as perfect beings and He always honors and respects you, so follow His example. 

As humans, you are limited in your awareness, in your intelligence, in your understanding, and so life is often very challenging for you. You make mistakes, you say or do things that are unloving, unkind, even intentionally so, and you either feel bad and guilty later, or even in the moment, or you refuse to acknowledge them and pretend that they never happened. But all these things are learning experiences from which you can and do grow, so accept your limitations, they are part of the illusion, forgive yourselves quickly for your mistakes, and honor yourselves for the lessons that you have learnt and for forgiving and loving yourselves. 

Unless you treat yourselves well, you will be unable to treat others well, because what you do to yourselves is what you do to others. So, to treat yourselves well creates a win-win situation and automatically extends your powerfully loving energy fields outwards to interact harmoniously with the energy fields of others. People then feel good around you, and you, of course, then feel good around them. With energy like that flowing, the information necessary to resolve issues and problems arises easily and quickly. 

You have what it takes to assist in humanity’s awakening process, that is why you are on Earth at this momentous time. Do not be discouraged when you feel tired or depressed. Go within, ask us, your loving guides and mentors, for assistance and a loving hug to raise your spirits. Then, suitably refreshed, reconfirm your intent to be loving in every situation and continue to awaken humanity. You are making it happen. 

With so very much love, Saul.
