Message from Saul, channeled by John Smallman, January 24, 2018
The process of awakening humanity is progressing magnificently. And that is to be expected, of course. The divine plan is that you wake up from the dream in which you seemed to be lost. However, dreams are nothing more than ephemeral flashes of unreality in which one cannot really get lost.
You are a bit like a small child who hides in a dark closet or in the dark space under the stairs and thinks he is lost and abandoned. Breaks in tears, terrified, screams for help, and then his mother, father or older brother come running to rescue him and comfort him. And, as a result, he learns that they are always there for it, and that he can never be truly lost or abandoned.
As beloved children of God you are eternally embraced and sustained within the field of divine Love that is the Reality in which all creation has its eternal existence. You can never be truly lost or abandoned because there is no other place, and within it you have no need because God has already given you everything, all LOVE, and that is what you are.
In God there is no need, because He has given you everything.
You only appear to have needs when you refuse to accept the Love that surrounds you, and then you seek satisfaction from those apparent needs outside of yourself in the illusory world of matter - the dark closet, or dark space under the stairs - that collectively they built to play the game of separation. Their only need is to know that they are not separated.
There is only Light, Reality, Love, but you yourselves have drawn a veil or mantle between you and your Source to make the game of separation seem intensely real. And it seems! The darkness of conflicts of every imaginable type seems to surround them, threatening them almost constantly.
They are careful, cautious and conservative, they stick to the old ways that they believe have kept them safe, or at least in less danger of extinction, in an insecure world in which their smallness or insignificance leaves them seemingly impotent. Thus, anxiety is their almost constant companion when they submit and deal with the tests and uncertainties that their human lives provide.
You are free to change and choose your perceptions and beliefs.
It does not have to be this way! You are free to change your perceptions and beliefs about the life with which you have been blessed by freeing yourself from the limitations that seem to keep you in control.
Then you can continue to develop the ideas that have been with you for a long time - dreams that, in childhood and adolescence, you imagined you could achieve - and that you hoped to experience as you grew into adulthood, but that have since come to believe that they were unrealistic, and beyond their ability or competence.
And so, perhaps, they settled for much less than they expected, and now they are disillusioned and unhappy in a life over which they seem to have no control . They feel trapped by the circumstances, or by their surroundings, and yet they really are not .
You are only trapped or enslaved by your fears, your lack of confidence in yourself.
Free yourself from fear!
Life is yours to enjoy, eternally. Where you find yourself as a human is the result of the choices you have made before incarnating, to provide experiences and lessons that, in your wisdom and with divine guidance, you knew would be for your higher good, and for the supreme good of those with whom you will interact during your present human life.
You are precisely where you chose to be, experiencing the lessons you planned for your current human life; and as they learn or discard them, they will advance.
Human life is never a failure! Sometimes, from a human perspective, it may seem, but there are no mistakes, no failures, just opportunities . The way you take advantage of them can lead to pain and suffering or joy and satisfaction, depending on whether you accept what comes with love, or reject it for being unacceptable, unfair and undeserved.
There are no accidents, and everything that happens during their human lives has a higher purpose, a higher meaning, which is always served. However, when you choose to judge certain experiences that arise as unjustified or undeserved, and then reject them as unacceptable, you add suffering to your life instead of joy.
Everything that happens is necessary for your growth. Choose to accept it with love.
Everything you experience during a human life has been previously planned by you with divine guidance, and you have the power to accept it and work with it for the benefit of all involved. The result, in human terms, can be seen as good or bad, or somewhere in between. But you always have all the information and support you need to handle it . . . with love!
When you do, you will feel satisfied, elevated, good! When you are not completely in love, then the experience will be less satisfying, even extremely uncomfortable and depressing. You can always choose how you will respond in any situation, and if you choose to be aware of how you are responding, you can anticipate how you will feel when it has happened. You always know, although you can choose to remain unconscious, which is the correct reaction - the loving one - in any situation.
Love choices bring you peace, those that are not bring you fear and conflict. Therefore, in extreme circumstances, it is really up to you to decide how you will feel, because even in the worst circumstances you can be at peace. Feelings are always emerging within you, and you are always choosing which ones you commit and which you reject.
You're not alone. Accounts with divine help.
However, because you started making decisions from a very early stage in your life, your choices become increasingly automatic - out of your conscious awareness - due to the conditioning caused by previous choices. But, you can choose to become increasingly aware of why you choose to commit to a particular feeling, and then you can make an informed decision about whether or not you should change your reaction to it. Having done this, consciously, you will find yourself much more satisfied with the results you experience.
You're free. Your body may be contained, imprisoned, aching and suffering, but you are still free.
That seems like a paradox, but you all know people who respond positively to whatever comes up, and you also know people who focus on the negative. And it is certainly easier to feel comfortable with the former. You tend to admire the former and choose to spend time with them, avoiding the latter whenever possible.
Which one are you? And ... do you want to change? Of course you can. Focus on the fact that you are alive . Life is a wonderful gift, but how you use it depends almost entirely on you. Being a victim is a choice to make others responsible for how you feel. Only they are not! How you feel is always your choice .
You can definitely be influenced by the circumstances you are in, but you always have the option of feeling positive and dealing with what comes up, or of committing to negative feelings and avoiding dealing with issues or demanding that others resolve them for you. The blame game . It doesn't work, it just leaves you feeling helpless and unhappy, when you could be working positively to solve your problems and raising your spirit in the process.
Find yourself daily in your inner sanctuary.
Whether you tend to respond positively or negatively to the issues that arise in your lives, it is extremely empowering for you to go inward daily, to that sacred inner sanctuary where Love resides, and open your hearts to the intention and then allow you to flow free and abundantly through you, as you will whenever you allow it.
They block the flow through judgment, guilt, bitterness, resentment and hatred. And the remedy for this? First forgive yourself by reminding yourself that you are eternally One with God, which is infinite Love, and therefore anything that is not completely aligned with Love is unreal - because, as you well know, there is only Love. Then release control. above all that is not aligned with Love, and feel how you begin to feel different.
Life is a gift.
Love is your nature, and it surrounds you completely in every moment, waiting, with infinite patience, your acceptance. Why would you deny or reject it, when it only offers you joy? When you do you behave like a sulky child, and the only one who suffers is you.
With so much love, Saul.
