Many of you are feeling down and depressed as it seems that your awakening is not getting any nearer. You feel that you have been holding the Light, changing your attitudes, practicing loving behavior and yet nothing is happening that indicates your efforts are in any way effective. Remember, the illusion is fighting for its existence, it is a collective egoic structure that is maintained by fear, suffering, and violence, and what you see happening, if you focus on the bad news around the planet, are its death throes. It is making its last desperate efforts to renew itself, but its foundations are crumbling prior to its inevitable collapse. Continue to have faith in God’s divine plan for you to awaken into the brilliant Light of eternal day where all that has caused you pain and suffering will be gone, leaving only Reality, Love, the absolute bliss of being one with your Father, complete, joyful,and forever at Peace in the enlightened Knowledge of His loving embrace. Then all will be clear and all shadows will have dissipated as the clarity of Reality surrounds you.
You have been working your way homewards towards this glorious conclusion to the game of separation in which you have been engaged for many lifetimes, and that conclusion, that awakening into awareness of who you truly are is fast approaching. Do not let the apparent reality of the illusion, with the chaos and confusion it is spreading in its final attempts to convince you that it is real, drag you down into a morass of self-doubt and self-recrimination about your worthiness to experience God’s Love for you, or, worse still, into doubting the existence of God. You are, you always have been, and you always will be perfect creations of your divine Father, forever at one with Him in Heaven – Paradise, Reality – because there is nowhere else. That is where you are, and the realization of that, the awareness of that, the truth of that will show you, once and for all, that you have been asleep and dreaming of a nowhere place that you had made up in your minds to amuse yourselves. The amusement ended, and since then you have been endeavoring to awaken, and the moment for that to happen is at hand.
God in His ineffable Love and Wisdom could not and would not allow you to remain asleep and unaware of who you really are, which is why He provided you with all that you need to awaken, and why He has been actively encouraging you to do so since you first entered that unreal state. He knows you want to wake up, He knows you have undergone the very convincing but completely unreal experience of intense suffering, and He wants only for you to release yourselves from that nightmare by embracing one another in the Love that is your true state of being. Love is infinite, utterly complete in and of Itself, and within It nothing that is unloving can possibly be present. Your awakening is a process of letting go of anything that is incompatible with that divine state, and you have been working towards it for what seems like an interminable length of time.
The point at which you started to realize the insanity of behaving unlovingly was the moment when it became possible for you to consider letting go of the illusion, because it became immediately apparent that what you were experiencing so vividly could only be unreal. Nevertheless, you were reluctant to disengage from the behaviors that had become endemic as you sought safety, acceptance, and love in that strange illusory environment from which they had been excluded.
Those very behaviors that you thought would protect you were, and continue to be, the ties that bind you to the illusion, because, as you have often been reminded, anything unloving cannot be present in the state of Love. You have been reluctant to release them because of the intense sense of insecurity with which the illusion presents you, and because as you look around you you see intense suffering from which you wish to be separated. But separation is suffering, it is the delusion that separation from others provides you with safety and security from attack, and enables you to attack others to keep yourselves safe. As all are one to attack anyone is to attack yourselves.
Your awakening process continues to move rapidly forwards because your awareness of this truth is intensifying and spreading, and more and more of you are intending to cooperate in loving behaviors that will enable you to release that fearful need to be separate. It seems to many of you that you have one foot in Reality and one in the illusion – you believe that there is only oneness, that separation is an illusion, and yet you are still experiencing separation. However, this concept is in itself a great step forwards. And with each step forwards you increase your acceleration towards your inevitable arrival at your heavenly destination. Just continue holding your Light on high; doing so reminds you of your divine heritage and strengthens your intent to awaken, and this will assist and encourage others to do the same. It is an acceptance of the reality of your oneness and it helps to further dissipate the sense of separation that binds you to the illusion. The bindings that remain are far fewer then ever before, and are now close to breaking. You know this, so relax into the certainty of your impending awakening.
With so very much love, Saul.
