To
leave the illusion behind is humanity’s divine destiny because
humanity’s destiny is divine. It has ensnared, enslaved, and entranced
you all for far too long and your unwillingness to release yourselves
from it is all that holds you within it. You have the power and the
capability to do so because you are divine beings, and, because it is
your will and God’s, you will release yourselves.
Nevertheless, you are
conflicted within yourselves by the intriguing but fanciful
opportunities with which it tempts you, and by your desire to find the
real meaning in life, a meaning that overwhelms and shatters the unreal
dreams that seem to be your constant companions – wealth, security, a
lover, and a beautiful environment in which to enjoy them. But the
dreams seem so real! This is because you are very powerful beings, and
you have made them seem very
real, so real that they hid and continue to hide Reality from you, as
was your original intent. Hence this intense inner conflict and your
endless confusion.
However,
your divine Father knew that your infatuation with your unreal
environment would not last, and that it would bring you untold pain and
suffering, so He, at the moment that you built it by imagining it within
your brilliant mind, instantly provided everything you need to release
yourselves from it and return Home. What He provided was the
inextinguishable inner flame of His Love that calls to you constantly to
awaken.
It
is that inner flame that has you questioning the meaning of life and
which also makes it very apparent that the meaning that you have been
seeking – security, survival, wealth, and power over others – is insane
not only because of its divisive nature but also because you are seeking
for it within the illusion. And that insanity terrifies you, everyone
is untrustworthy! Therefore you must constantly protect yourselves, so
you build armies and weapons that you then are unable to resist using,
further adding to your pain and suffering.
However, you have become exhausted by the trials and tribulations with which the illusion endlessly presents you, and you are becoming aware, more and more of you daily, that the only
way to resolve your issues, your differences, your conflicts is through
intelligent and harmonious cooperation. When you do that you listen to
one another without judgment, allowing each to be themselves instead of
attempting to change them into the kind of person you think – in your
almost total lack of wisdom – that they should be. Then realization
dawns that truly there are no differences, you all want only “the peace
that passeth all understanding.” And that of course is Love, the divine
energy field in which all of creation has its eternal existence.
It
is a state from which you have never departed because there is nowhere
else, but you have imagined and clung tenaciously to an illusory state,
and you are now in the process of releasing your hold on it, of allowing
yourselves to see that it is unreal, a sham. You have a saying: “If it
seems to good to be true then it probably is.” Throughout the eons of
the illusion’s enticing siren song to you, you have been chasing within
it for something that has seemed to good to be true – safety, security,
abundance, and bliss – but how could that possibly be found within an
illusion, especially one in which betrayal and deceit are endemic?
Forgiveness
is the way out – of yourselves for being so misled and misguided by it,
and of others for their apparent betrayals of you. In Reality there is
only Love, and anything in conflict with or opposition to It is unreal.
However, you do need to
forgive. One of your wise elder statesmen (Nelson Mandela) remarked that
resentment is like drinking poison and hoping it will kill your
enemies. So, until you start forgiving and releasing any judgments or
resentments, you are just consuming poison and making yourselves truly
miserable, possibly even making yourselves extremely ill. And, as most
of you are probably well aware, modern psychology suggests that to be
able to forgive is essential for your general health and well-being.
If
you are having difficulty with forgiveness, due to pain inflicted upon
you, unjust judgments made against you, or for any other reason, then
when you enter your quiet inner space ask for help and for clarity.
Frequently clarity is lacking in one’s perceptions when a desire to
withhold or refuse forgiveness is experienced. Remember, all the
experiences undergone in your physical bodies are aspects of the
illusion; the suffering that is undergone is illusory because you are
all asleep and dreaming. When you awaken into Reality all pain, all
suffering, all injustice, all betrayal will have dissolved because they
are part of that illusory dream. Clarity will show you this now by
reminding you of your true nature – you are a being of Love who is One
with God – and you will be able to relax into forgiveness, whereupon you
will find an inner peace that maybe you have never before experienced
or have long since forgotten.
In
the spiritual realms we are constantly at your service, you have only to
call on us with sincerity and we will show you the way to embrace
forgiveness with love and compassion for the one you wish or need to
forgive – yourself or others – thus leading you into a state where the
stress of resentment that was confining and controlling you just
dissolves. We are here for you in every moment, and we want only to see
you awaken into the eternal joy that is your natural state. We know that
forgiveness is the quickest way for you to release your hold on the
illusion because it cuts through all the other ties and bindings so that
there is nothing else to prevent you from sinking happily into God’s
loving Embrace.
So
call on us and tell us that you sincerely want to embrace forgiveness,
and instantly you will feel the warmth and acceptance of the field of
Love that at all times envelops you. It will confirm for you that you
are indeed a being of Love who was momentarily lost in the fog of the
illusion, a fog that is now dispersing and allowing you glimpses of the
brilliance that awaits your inevitable awakening.
With so very much love, Saul.
