The purpose of an illusion is to capture your full attention in order
to distract you so that you do not see something the illusionist wants
to keep hidden, unseen, and unrecognized by you. And you are the
illusionist! You wanted God to remain hidden, unseen, unrecognized.
And the illusion that you built has worked extremely well. However,
the vast majority of humanity has had its fill — the value of novelty
wears off — and now wants and intends to see and recognize what has been
hidden. That intent is completely in alignment with the Will of God,
and therefore cannot fail to be achieved; consequently, humanity will awaken, and into eternal joy.
Your divine destiny is inevitable, but you have free will and can
therefore delay your arrival, your awakening indefinitely if you choose
to do so — remember that time is also illusory! Not releasing your
baggage — all the emotional “stuff” that has accumulated over the eons,
and your many earth lifetimes — delays you. With the new energies
enveloping the Earth, and consequently surrounding and affecting
everyone on the planet, all that stuff is bursting into your awareness
from your inner depths where it has been hidden, causing unsettling
emotional disturbances or inner turmoil. All that you need to do is
acknowledge it without dwelling on it, and allow it to pass on, as it
will. You no longer need any of it (you never really did!), and
engaging with it and attempting to make sense of it is a big
distraction for you. Just allow it to flow through and it will. Yes,
it is uncomfortable – like pulling a splinter or a thorn out of your
flesh, it hurts – but if you do not remove it, it festers and becomes
infected, far more painful, and demands even more of your attention lest
it become gangrenous.
Again, it is your choice whether to dwell on it or let it go, and
that is where forgiveness achieves wonders because it is the healing
balm par excellence. When you have been offended or abused, your egos
rise to protect you, insisting that you require and deserve restitution,
while demanding recognition of and punishment for the one who has hurt
you. It is a natural human response. However, if you dwell on the
offense or abuse by remembering with bitterness the pain it caused, the
emotional charge it carries is further energized leading to resentment
and anger which eats away at you, making peace or contentment
impossible.
When you choose to forgive the perpetrator — and to make that choice
you need to see the event, the incident from a new perspective — healing
occurs and your pain starts to reduce. Your intent to forgive
strengthens further and the pain dissolves. You can of course remember
what happened, but it no longer causes you pain and you do not dwell on
it because there are happier and more interesting things to occupy your
mind.
If forgiveness seems impossible for you to even consider then ask
your guides or angels for help. Describe what happened as though you
were telling a close friend, and then release to them the story you have
just told with the intent that the emotional charge you are holding be
released. Your intent is an amazingly powerful tool but it certainly
helps to ask for assistance from those in the spiritual realms when
setting it or using it. And they are always there ready and willing to
assist.
Often when you share a story of abuse or pain with a friend they will
commiserate with you, take your side, and agree that what occurred was
indeed unconscionable. That is in a way what friends are for, in the
moment. But afterwards, when you want to free yourself from the pain,
retelling the story also strengthens your sense of being victimized,
disabling your ability to view the event from a perspective that allows
you to recognize the intense pain being experienced by your abuser, who
is calling out for love, and your own deep, though hidden, desire to
forgive.
Truly, because you are divine beings, beings of Love, your innermost
desire is to share and extend your Love indiscriminately and
unconditionally through compassion, understanding, healing, and
forgiveness. However, since you built the illusion you have hidden that
part of yourselves, the major part of yourselves, from your egoic
selves which find it threatening and terrifying. The egoic part of you
believes that the world is a very dangerous place, and it is constantly
presented with evidence to prove that this is so. You have probably
noticed that those who appear more calm and more at peace with
themselves are generally far less ego-driven than those who are driven
by commitments and deadlines that absolutely must be honored. And that the former are far less accident and incident prone than the latter.
What you expect you bring into your lives; it is as simple as that.
How many times have you said or heard someone say when an accident or
mishap occurs: “I knew that would happen?” So change your
expectations in order to change your life — and change the world! The
illusion encourages fear; it broadcasts fear to whomever will pay
attention, and it basks in the belief of fear, to which so many humans
are enslaved. If you release fear you cannot be driven or controlled.
And when, despite your fear, you do something that frightens you, then
the trepidation you expected to feel will be far less than you had
imagined.
Fear is a method of control that is used to great effect, and
ironically, often the most fearful are those whose lives appear to be
the most secure. Within the illusion nothing makes sense. The
prevailing ethos is “Love is weak! — Avoid it! — Conquer your fears by
being strong, forceful, demanding, certain, and inflexible!” But Love
is like the ocean pounding on the rocks. The ocean is flexible,
dynamic, yielding, all-enveloping, and the rocks get worn away.
Fear is an illness, and it is healed by Love, compassion, forgiveness
and acceptance. Engage with the Love of God, the Love of yourselves,
and the Love of all creation, and bring yourselves forward to awakening —
which is your inevitable and unavoidable destiny, constantly waiting to
welcome you home.
Your loving brother, Jesus.
