This
is a very difficult and stressful time for you all, especially as you
pay compassionate and concerned attention to the vast amount of
suffering and deprivation that is being endured by so many all over the
world. The tsunami of Love is
flowing powerfully and intensely through your illusory dream-scape. It
is very effective and it is stirring up all your unaddressed issues
which have been lying like mud or sand at the bottom of the pond that is
your unconscious, the vast hidden area of your mind where all that you
could not bear to face has lain hidden for eons. All that “muck” has to
be released and cleared away so that the Light that each one of you
carries with you constantly can shine forth brightly as divinely
intended. As It does so you will become increasingly aware of the divine
Light shining forth from others – your heavenly brothers and sisters,
the beautiful children of God.
You
are all brilliant and divine beings who have hidden your Light so well
from yourselves that you have almost forgotten (indeed some have forgotten) that your true nature is an eternal and divine nature which can never
be discarded or lost. It can only be momentarily hidden from view as
you play your illusory games of separation. And, as you keep on being
told, the horrendous era in which the illusion has been constantly
presenting you with these painful and disturbing dreams is over,
finished with, terminated. You are about to wake up, your awakening is imminent, and you do know
this, so when you spend time in that quiet inner space, to which you
all have access, allow that knowing to come to the surface of your
awareness and embrace you. And it will!
Allowing
is the secret, but what often happens is that you are so keen and
impatient to receive answers that you do not allow yourself to “hear”
the Holy Spirit, your higher Self, your favorite saints, guides or
mentors, because your ego rushes noisily in to fill that quiet space
with its own self-serving answer. It can’t abide quiet space!
Discouraging distractions such as “I’m just imagining this” or “What’s
the point, it’s not going to happen” or “Why would one of these
spiritual entities waste their time talking to me,” then flood your
mind.
You
can all probably offer your own examples of personal and discouraging
“favorite” distractions. This is because your egos desperately want to
be heard, all the time!
You have all been in situations where you are listening to someone and
an idea pops into your mind that you just cannot wait to share with the
person who is talking, so much so that you either interrupt to make your
point, or you focus so intently on that idea that you do not hear the
remainder of what the other is saying. It is the same when you meditate
and seek guidance, distracting ideas occur to you and you lose your
focus.
Meditation
is a discipline that requires your focused attention and therefore you
need to practice it seriously and regularly. Often you spend time
sitting, intending to meditate, but other “important” stuff comes to
mind distracting you. Then, suddenly, the quiet time that you had set
aside has passed and you have to move on. But with practice you do
become steadily more adept at disregarding the distractions that your
ego tosses so enthusiastically into your quiet space. Persistence with
your practice works, so persist, the odds of success are weighted
heavily in your favor.
Guidance
or answers from the spiritual realms are very softly “spoken,” gentle,
unintrusive, so you do have to listen carefully and patiently, and that
is very difficult for those of you brought up in the “high-powered, get
it done” kinds of western culture where time is money and must not be
wasted. As a result, you often respond with the first thought that comes
to mind when dealing with a stressful or conflict-driven situation,
and, as you have all doubtless experienced, it can frequently be the
wrong one.
Meditation
is not only an essential practice to allow you to gain access to your
guides and receive answers from them on issues that concern you. It also
trains you not to react too quickly, and possibly impulsively, in your
daily lives when communicating with others, but instead to pause and
make space for all the appropriate responses available to you to present
themselves, putting you in a far better position to deal with whatever
the situation demands.
So,
yet again, I am stressing the importance of making “down time,” quiet
time, uninterruptible time solely for yourself available to yourself
daily. The stresses upon you have been increasing enormously as more and
more of the deceit and corruption on which the world – the illusory world – turns is disclosed, demanding that you sit up and take notice.
The
old days, when you thought that you could trust your duly elected
governments and their agencies, and your supposedly “responsible”
multi-national corporations to take care of the interests and well-being
of the majority are long over. However, the hidden secrets and corrupt
agendas that have been followed by those in positions of power and
authority, whom you had been trusting to act on behalf of the general
good – that whistle-blowers everywhere are now placing in the public
domain – are shocking and very disturbing. To be shown how blatantly
your trust has been betrayed is stunning, and then numbing as that
betrayal appears to be forever ongoing and unending.
The
only way to relieve the intense stress that this unfolding torrent of
deceit and betrayal is causing is by taking time out, daily. In that
time remind yourself that everyone,
even one who appears to be totally evil and corrupt, is a holy child of
God. When they, or anyone, behaves badly, it is truly a call for Love.
Only those in severe inner pain – pain that they most vehemently deny –
could behave so abysmally towards others.
In
those quiet times you relieve your stress by reminding yourselves that
your everyday world of deceit, suffering, and corruption is an illusion,
and that only Love exists. Love is unconditional, undiscriminating, and
totally accepting of all
of God’s children. During those quiet times make and renew your intent
to be Love in action in every moment. When you make that intent, and
then hold it and demonstrate it, you are very effectively adding to the
field of Love enveloping the world.
Love
can be rejected or ignored, but It cannot be destroyed, eradicated, or
overpowered because It is infinitely powerful, being All That Exists. As
you make the intent allow the Love to wash over you and embrace you,
feel It, and then forgive all who appear to be in opposition to It.
Doing this is enormously
powerful, it eases your stress and anxieties, and it truly does soften
the hearts of those who seem most opposed to It, effectively wearing
down their ill-advised resistance to It.
Of
course many of you are already doing this, and some of you no doubt are
feeling that it is having little if any effect. You could not be more
wrong! Your loving intentions are changing the world and bringing all to
awakening. Continue to do what you have been doing so well, and make a
point of accessing your inner knowing which confirms your certainty that your awakening is imminent.
With so very much love, Saul.
In case any of you have been wondering where I’ve been, well I was just taking a break while sorting out some of my own stuff.
