All on Earth are soul extensions of your true and higher Selves. It is as though you dipped your higher Self’s index finger (if it had such an appendage!), which possessed all your physical senses, into the illusory environment that humanity appears to inhabit to test it and found the experience enthralling, indeed captivating. So much so that it forgot Itself and became totally engrossed in the tiny – and I assure you that it is indeed tiny! – Environment into which it had dipped that finger. So engrossed that it altogether forgot Its own magnificence and the joy that Its eternal existence at One with Source, in Reality, in Heaven, brought It in every moment.
Of
course that finger dipping lasted, but an instant, nevertheless, it
still seems to be ongoing. The initial state of enthrallment has long
since passed, and you, the soul extensions, are not at all happy with
the situation in which you find yourselves. You want to return to your
natural state at One with God, and that desire and intent is leading you
to wakefulness, to complete the necessary preparations that will allow
the withdrawing of that finger from the illusory environment in which it
seems to have become permanently ensnared – perhaps you could say that
it has become frozen in the icy pond of time.
It
is your illusion, that you imagined and built, and that you support by
the power of your intent to maintain its apparent reality. You are very
conflicted about it because you have made it seem so real. The idea of
letting it dissolve into the nothingness from which you imagined it
into being frightens you because, naturally, due to the severe
limitations it seemingly imposes on you – within it you are beings of
limited consciousness, limited awareness, limited intelligence, and
limited creative abilities – you imagine that if it dissolves then so
will you.
It appears to be the only
reality, and you do not want to lose it and therefore, yourselves. You
do not want to cease to exist, as you imagine might, could, or even,
most definitely would happen in those circumstances. The very thought
of the void, of nothingness, terrifies you, but such a state does not
and could not exist because all existence is within God and is
consequently eternal and everlasting. You are all, to a greater or
lesser degree, depending on your chosen life paths, self-aware, and
therefore you believe
that you exist because you experience and feel alive through your bodily
senses, and that aspect of you that is aware, that believes, that
witnesses is the eternal You created by God.
On
an altogether different level your real Self knows that what it is
experiencing with that “index finger” is unreal, and that It will return
to a state of utter joy when It withdraws it from the illusion. Your
awakening is the process of withdrawing that digit from the dark,
frightening, murky, and freezing waters into which the illusion changed
as the sense of separation, abandonment, and aloneness with which it
provided you overwhelmed you.
Your
strong imaginative powers enabled you to make the instant during which
you dipped your fingers into the illusory reality that you had built
stretch out over eons, time being a powerful and essential aspect of the
illusion. It was through the use of your own God-given powers, given
to you by your Father at the moment of your creation, that you built and
developed the illusion, and now you are in the process of dismantling
it so that you can return Home by withdrawing your support from it and
allowing it to dissolve like melting snow, or to fade away like morning
mist in the heat of the sun.
The
heat is on, and the illusion is melting, dissolving, and about to fade
away because nothing unreal can exist in the Presence of God. It never
has existed, and all that has seemingly occurred within it is as
illusory and as unreal as the illusion. You did a good job inventing
and imagining it into being, but its moment is over, and wakefulness
beckons. You are a little like children totally absorbed and caught up
in your games, so that they seem extremely real, and then you are called
to supper and reminded that there is ice-cream and strawberries, and
instantly the game is forgotten as you race indoors to wash your hands
in preparation.
So,
when you engage daily in meditation, and seek a loving hug from those
on whom you call, remind yourselves also that ice-cream and
strawberries, and many other things that truly delight you await your
awakening:)
With so very much love, Saul.
