As humanity’s time for being lost in the illusion of its collective, imaginary physical reality rolls towards its conclusion, continue to focus on your intent to change your unloving attitudes for the divine one of indiscriminate, unconditional love, and practice that at all times, allowing it to direct all your thoughts, words, and actions. This is the most profound and effective way that you can prepare for your grand awakening. Until you release attitudes of judgment and blame, and until you stop nurturing desires to see those whom you feel have offended, hurt, taken advantage of you or betrayed you, taken to task and punished for their misdeeds you will not awaken.
The reason for this is that while you hold those beliefs you would feel totally out of place and extremely uncomfortable – even betrayed! – to be in a place where all are unconditionally loved. It would seem so unfair to you that those “miserable, selfish beings who had hurt you so cruelly” could be accepted wholeheartedly and lovingly by God. It is as simple as that. Love is indiscriminately accepting and all encompassing, but unloving attitudes demand to be separate from those judged to be wrong, or sinners. It would be a total mismatch, a state of utter incompatibility, and you just could not bear to be there!
Judgment is a projection, a dissociation, a displacement activity, whereby someone who feels guilty or unworthy attempts to distract and even distance himself from that fearful state by focusing his attention on the wrongdoings of others, and by then gloatingly calling them to the attention of others. The underlying condition of someone who behaves in that fashion is one of bitter unhappiness and dread lest his own misdemeanors should be uncovered. Most humans have experienced occasions when they have felt very unhappy, and to be in the presence of someone who is feeling exhilaratingly happy only intensifies that feeling, and their one desire is to be somewhere else! To be in Heaven, in Reality, while feeling the need to be separate from others perceived as unacceptable would be excruciatingly painful.
The resolution to this conundrum is forgiveness. This is why everyone’s unaddressed issues are bursting up from their unconscious for recognition and release. Every human has unaddressed issues – they are part of the human condition – and they can no longer remain hidden and unacknowledged. Denial has been a very valuable tool for humanity, because it has enabled those in pain to distract themselves from it and focus on survival. However, there comes a time when that which has been denied must be faced and resolved. Frequently, denial involves an intrinsic sense of unworthiness which has been strengthened and confirmed during infancy, childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood by parents, peer groups, cultural mores, and religious and state authorities. It can be quite devastating for an individual, hence the need for denial.
As the adult continues to grow and gain worldly wisdom and experience, it becomes apparent that most others are also guilty of the same or similar shameful habits and beliefs. This can lead to an epiphany whereby the individual realizes that he is not abnormal, and that there is nothing of which he needs to feel ashamed, or conversely, it can lead to an even stronger need for denial as he accepts that he and those others are indeed shameful people. Either way, those issues now need to be addressed and released, which is why practically all channeled material emphasizes and re-emphasizes that you are, each one of you, perfect divine creations infinitely and eternally loved by God, and that there are no exceptions to this divine Truth.
So accept this Truth, embrace It, know that You are not a body with all the inadequacies and limitations that it implies, and forgive yourselves for any and every failing, sin, or crime you think you have committed – they never happened because your present state is illusory! You are all divinely loved because you are your Father’s perfect children, and thus, not to forgive and love yourselves is insane. And when you do forgive yourselves, as you will, then you will find yourselves forgiving and accepting others – eventually, without indiscrimination – and you will then be ready to awaken. Hallelujah!
With so very much love, naturally, Saul.
Thank…this helps me to accept what I can’t change.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for this message. Interestingly, this poem came through me earlier today and when I read Saul’s message it was an affirmation… Blessings to all, Jen Reich
All one All
Alone is just a feeling
But never is it true
For every single living thing
Is alive inside of you-
The drop of water on the leaf
The nest inside the tree
And even in your time of grief
This truth can set you free-
For your world is one connection
Separation just a dream
So when you choose rejection
The harder things will seem-
Yet there’s a simple way to peace
Of spirit, heart, and mind
Choose to let your judgments cease
And then choose to be kind~

Very nice poem, man. You are talented.
Indeed, a heart-felt and inspired poem, Jen 🙂
Thank you Pierre and Hilary!
This sounds very much like ACIM. Did you do it?
Love, B
Judgement can indeed be an attempt to distract one’s self from one’s own issues and shortcomings, but I believe that it is also an inevitable outcome of operating within a dualistic reality and state of consciousness. Not only that, but there is such thing as right discrimination – being able to discriminate between action that is right, and that which is wrong. You can argue that at a deep level, the level of essence, of our spiritual ground of being (i.e. beyond dualistic consciousness), there is no such thing as right and wrong but as long as we exist on the physical plane, there is a legitimate need to distinguish between ‘me’ and the ‘other’, and to protect one’s self (yes, including protecting my ego, that concept so demonised by many ‘spiritually correct’ folk) from abusive, manipulative or simply wrong (for us) action…
This is an issue that most spiritual teachings/teachers do not address, or simply dismiss as being ‘negative’ or ‘limited in perspective’, but if you want to reach spiritual seekers who exist, operate and integrate fully within a physical reality rather than existing in a sheltered workshop of an Ashram or a closed circle of like minded friends, this needs to be addressed. In this context, it may be a worthy action to forgive – as long as you are legitimately READY to AUTHENTICALLY do so – but not to forget…
From a larger perspective, I believe this brings us to a bigger, more pressing question: the fact that so many supposed ‘spiritual’ people use spirituality as a tool of DENIAL. They create for themselves a circular, self-referential spiritual reality which justifies away all legitimate suffering and effectively allows them to short-circuit the reality principle. They whitewash the often extremely painful, unfair nature of our lives, by reference to a Higher Power… ‘Everything happens for a reason…’ they say… ‘There is a lesson that you had to learn obviously.’.
Before true forgiveness can arise… before we can truly progress spiritually – we NEED to allow ourselves to FULLY experience our pain, our rage, our hatred, disillusionment and cynicism… The shortcut of glib spiritual certitude marks the death of true seeking and true transformation. Spiritual teachings need to take us deeper into our authentic experience – not sanitise it by denying the darker side of our instinctual and emotional natures…
Yes, forgiveness. Thank you for this simple and deeply profound reminder.
It sounds so wonderful, to forgive ourselves, and to forgive others, no matter what we, or they have done. Every evening I assert during prayer that I will return love for hatred, or at least I will try to do that, and I assert that if I can’t return love for hatred, then at least I will not return hatred, for I agree that negative emotions and thoughts like anger and hatred are tools of the dark cabal, and hinder the light. I am fortunate to have an environment where no one ever hurts me, no one insults me, no one assaults me in any way. Well, almost never. My point is that it’s been a long time since anyone “got my dander up” over anything they did or said to me. Does that keep me from having negative thoughts? NO! I’m going to have to stop reading the newspaper, news magazines, and watching news tv channels. I’m constantly assaulted there by people who’ve done terrible things, because it makes great stories. People who abuse or murder their own children, or go on a killing spree and murder dozens of other people. It’s really hard to read these stories, or see them on tv, and try to think loving thoughts about them. They haven’t hurt me, directly, at all, but they sure assaulted me and everyone else with their negative actions, and that makes them really hard to love. When I see these stories I keep telling myself “they have their reasons for doing these things. This was part of their contract when they entered the world, and the people who were abused or murdered knew from the start they would leave duality in this fashion, violently.” So what? How am I to love someone who does such violent things? I’m about ready to eschew news of all sorts, to try to avoid the negative images, because I can’t keep the negative feelings out of my mind, the negative emotions out of my heart. How can anyone love such people?
Yes, thank you Saul and John for giving us these words of Truth so that we may love ourselves and others………..knowing all is Love, J.
This is so much an eye, ear, eyes, mind, consciousness opener!
Thank you for sharing this with everyone…
I’m a bit confused.
The other day(s) you said that, “humanity is assured a full recovery” and that, “your homecoming is inevitable,” which gave me a lot of hope. Now, however, you state that, “Until you release attitudes of judgment and blame,… you will not awaken.”
Which one is true after all? Or did I miss something? Do we need to be perfectly prepared in order to be granted full recovery?
I’m afraid that I’m not perfect or that I will have missed something during “preparation,” that I inadvertently “hurt” or “blame” someone, and thus.. I will not awake because I did something “wrong”?
That’s kinda scary, and I’d love it if someone would point me in the right direction…
Hi Pete,
Both are true!
Everyone WILL awaken, BUT first they have to release all the unloving attitudes that keep them anchored in the illusion.
No one who wants to see others judged, condemned (strong word!), made to pay restitution, and punished for their “sins” would be happy in state in which only Love is present and from which no one is excluded.
Love is ALL-ENCOMPASSING. If a soul cannot accept that, then it would choose not to be in that state (awakened),as it would seem unfair, unreasonable, and be very uncomfortable, to be surrounded by all “those unworthy ones” also receiving God’s Love.
However, I believe that our state of limited consciousness as humans in the illusion prevents us from seeing our real Selves — not our bodily human selves — as we truly are. Our real Selves ARE unconditionally loving, so all that is required of us is the INTENT, while experiencing life in the illusion, to be forgiving and unconditionally loving. The fact that we do not always manage to behave in that fashion is immaterial. What counts is our intent. When our intent IS loving our failure to maintain that state is part of the illusion. We need only forgive ourselves for these “failings” (so that we do not focus with fear and judgment on them) and continue to hold our loving intent to awaken into Reality, and we will. After all it is God’s Will that we do so. What prevents us are our unloving attitudes, and it is only possible to hold those attitudes while we anchor ourselves in the illusion. If you intend to release them, you will, and you will also release your hold on the illusion and awaken.
with love,
John.
Thank you very much for the pin-pointing, John!
Yes, I do intend, and am looking forward, to awaken. And I do wish the same for everyone else. No one excluded.
I’m usually someone who lets people live their lives however they choose. Everyone has free will.
Live is supposed to be fun — filled with love, ecstasy, health, and wishes that come true.
Let’s get to that point where this is crystal clear.
Off to exercise the intention more and to pray for forgiveness for my own misalignments.
Thank you & with love.
John’s words to Pete are the most encouraging words I’ve read in several weeks, at least! Thank you, John! It’s wonderful, more than wonderful, if really true, because it allows us to err, to backslide, to be human in other words, and yet still qualify to ascend! That’s terrific! You can’t imagine how good that makes me feel, because I know how many times negative thoughts and feelings jump into my mind, and I’ve said “I’m not perfect. I guess I’m not ready now to ascend and who knows if I’ll have enough prep time to get myself ready for this opportunity which comes every few millenia.” Well, if John’s words are right, we can make those slips, those errors, and as long as our overall attitude is a loving attitude, we can still qualify! I tell you, I’m thrilled and thank you so much! You’ve more than reassured me this day!
Thank you John, for your excellent response to Pete’s query. One more way for us to keep in mind that the illusion is all pervasive. I love remembering this! It’s everywhere! hahaha! Thanks again, and of course deep gratitude for your wonderful blog.
Many Blessings,
Lisa
