Many are feeling very stressed and enervated as the issues that they need to address and release in order for them to awaken demand their attention. Your awakening is guaranteed, and the moment when it will happen is approaching very rapidly. Consequently, the issues that attach you to the illusion have to be dealt with. You know this deep within yourselves, and so they are being driven up into your awareness to enable you to acknowledge and release them.
They are basically your fixed ideas and beliefs on which you base your judgments: I am being abused; I am a helpless victim of circumstances; these people are forcing me to do this; I am of little worth; it’s not my fault; how could s/he treat me like this; I will not put up with this; s/he is wrong and should not be allowed to get away with it; they deserve punishment; what s/he did was unconscionable. . . on and on – a litany of unloving thoughts and attitudes. To awaken you have to release all of them and embrace acceptance, forgiveness, and unconditional love.
Because you can feel the approach of the moment of awakening, you are also experiencing a sense of urgency which is pushing these issues into your conscious mind so that you can release them. It is stressful because you have believed in the righteousness, dignity, and integrity of those attitudes for a very long time, and have attached yourselves to a right and an expectation of restitution for the wrongs supposedly inflicted on you – you have (within yourselves) demanded justice, and you know that God has seen how you have been wronged and that therefore these wrongdoers must be punished by Him. But, there is no one on Earth who has not offended or harmed another; so none of you can be innocent!
However, as you are constantly being reminded, all that you are experiencing, all your suffering, is illusory, and to awaken from the illusion you have to release your belief in it because none of it ever happened and no one deserves God’s punishment – there is no such thing! God’s divine justice envelops all in His infinitely loving embrace as He welcomes you Home in the beauty of your eternal innocence.
Until you release your unloving attitudes and forgive yourselves and all others for all the perceived wrongs that have been committed, you will be unable to awaken – because to harbor those attitudes in an awakened state would cause you suffering way beyond anything that anyone has experienced in the illusion, even if that were possible, because the contrast between the infinite Love that is Reality and the unloving attitudes that maintain and support the illusion is itself infinite. There is just no point at which they could meet and interact. The illusion and all it seems to consist of could only flee from even the thought of making contact, because Reality, Love, God is anathema to it. So, all your issues are coming into your awareness with an intensity that very few have experienced before, and it is shocking and unnerving for you.
Nevertheless, you have an infinite abundance of kind and loving assistance to help you to release them. All that is required of you is your intention to release them all and to open yourselves to accept, receive, and be enfolded in the divine field of Love of which you are all essential parts.
There is no need for effort, striving, fighting, or conflict of any kind, these feelings are fear-driven remnants of the belief that you have offended or attacked God, are unworthy of His Love, and can expect and deserve His punishment. Nothing could be further from the truth because you are perfect divine creations permanently at one with your Father. Just let go of your fears, doubts, and anxieties and allow the knowing deep within you to come to the surface of your awareness, which will confirm for you that you are infinitely loved by your Father, that absolutely nothing can or ever will harm you, and that eternal bliss is your Home and your destiny.
With so very much love, Saul.
Thank you! The timing of my receiving this message is uncanny. There is no one to blame and no one to fight. I also appreciate knowing that so many others are experiencing this incredible emotional intensity of awakening. My aim and intent? Relax into it.
So gentle, so loving, so true, such a comfort to know what everyone is ‘going through’, with deep compassion. Thank you
As with many others, I too am in need to hear this right now. Everything is intensifying as you say and I feel like I am going mad. Your message has comforted me and will help me get through this rough time. Thank you.
Many blessings!
Thank you. This wonderful message echoes what I teach in Circles and what I am living so I can teach! Smiling. Love and blessings Saul and John!

Uncanny and spot-on. Thank you.
These emotions that are released, is it particular to the bodies we call our homes? When I had my near death experience, it seemed most of the cares, worries and fears stayed with my body. Most of them fell away when i was in that other place. Saul often says God sees us as the perfect beings we are. So is it correct to say that the process Saul describes is really about these feelings that exist in the body – and that releasing them is a prerequisite for the ascension of the body – but not so much the soul?
Saul speaks the same as Jesus in ACIM. isn’t it funny we came here to hide from God? do we really need to suffer to awaken? maybe not, if we can see that we are making up problems, we call our personal stuff, when if you look at the next person, they are suffering right along with you with the same “personal” problems, different form slightly, same deal. there is nothing to hide from in enlightenment. it almost makes the body a cloaking device and why would I want a cloaking device to ascend with my soul?
