Humanity is progressing beautifully as you all move forward towards your awakening into Reality. Your sojourn on Earth as physical beings, although in truth of only a momentary duration, has most certainly been experienced as a long hard slog through the eons of time, and has included much fear and suffering. Since the moment of your apparent separation from God you have been wending your way homeward, but that wending has taken you deep into the illusion and into the misery enclosed within it. It has been an excruciatingly meandering path as you sought out experiences that, before you engaged with them, appeared to offer thrills and delights that would be well worth the struggle required to achieve them . But in the illusion your separate state of individuality meant that you were always competing for something that was only available to the winners, the few who could deceive or crush all others as they chased this elusive delight that was always in short supply and therefore of great value. But setting yourselves against one another in this elusive quest for joy brought only pain, suffering, and disappointment. Yes, minor successes and achievements were enjoyed, but only briefly. In the illusion nothing lasts.
Awareness of this truth is growing; people are finding that when they stop chasing the ephemeral delights – and even empires and dynasties are ephemeral – peace and contentment follow. To struggle ferociously for the rewards that the illusion promises only to experience disappointment is unsettling and disheartening, and makes you question the validity of your efforts, your planning, and your abilities, leading you to judge yourselves or others as inadequate. But you are not inadequate! You are perfect, divine creations in eternal communion with your Creator, yet your intense belief in the physical reality of the illusion conceals from you what you really are, as you strive and struggle to live for ever totally independent of God. Everything in the illusion disintegrates over time and turns to dust. History has demonstrated this to you again and again, but you refuse to believe that it is true for you. And of course you are right; you are immortal beings of divine perfection. However, you focus your energies and attention on the illusion, attempting the impossible: to make it everlasting. And why would you want to do that when all it provides is pain, suffering, and disappointment? Yet you try to convince yourselves that if you persist you will succeed, and that disappointment will be defeated. Nevertheless, you are becoming aware of the insanity of this attitude as you start to acknowledge that the illusion is disintegrating and that it will continue to do so.
You are looking for an escape from the depressing inevitability of this truth and are finding unexpected peace as you release your need to maintain and support the illusion. As you do this the divine Flame within you catches your attention. At first it seems to be the merest flicker of light, but as you focus your attention on it, it intensifies. Then something draws you back towards the illusion and you attempt to take this divine Flame with you into it. It does not work because you made the illusion to hide from Reality. You feel hurt and let down, and once more find yourself questioning your sanity. Is the illusion illusory, or is the inextinguishable Flame within you illusory? You do know the answer, but initially it is very hard to accept as that would seem to indicate that you have been wasting your life chasing what is unreal – an insubstantial dream. Whereas in fact you have been trying to find Reality, the state of supreme joy that you always felt sure existed. It is just that you were searching in the wrong place.
Once you have seen the flicker of the inextinguishable divine Flame within you, you will never cease to follow it. You may take diversions or meander a little, but you will never lose sight of it, and it will lead you Home, because that is God’s Will and yours. You are One with God eternally, separation from Him is impossible, and you will awaken into that sublime Reality.
With so very much love, Saul.
This message seems quite compatible with the thought system presented in A COURSE IN MIRACLES.
Ahhh, always so affirming of the truth of this path. Thank you again, John and Saul. You are loved so very, very much.
Thank you dear John and Saul. For months and months the only channellings that made sense to me, that have helped me feel peaceful if only temporarily, while browsing the website lightworkers.org…are yours. I’ve been reading and following ACIM for almost 2 years now, off and on, more seriously since November, now doing the workbook as diligently as I can without the help of a “physical” support group. Your beautiful words complement and inspire the Way I’ve chosen to remember our everloving Father in Heaven. I don’t know why it took so long, but I suddenly noticed your website address at the bottom of the May 12 channelling, and here I am, or should I say…here We are, as One again. And my Heart sings! Thank you and God bless you!
Thank you Saul for your words of wisdom, compassion and understanding. Really wish God speed up Our Awakening to Reality, a Life in Light, Love, Peace and Abundance and also hope all the wounds, guilt and shame of separation from Creator and Home will heal soon.
Maybe we learn to live guided by the Divine Flames in our sacred hearts.
Pray that God restore or we realize and awaken to our divine identity (really don’t know how it must be, if this depends only on God’s Will and/or our efforts and intent), and renew each and every bond with all aspects and Beings of Creation, with our family of Light and the sense of joy, honor, and fullfillment of the higher realms we can’t find here on earth.
May we stop hiding from God and we trust in and surrender to His supreme Love and perfect Divine Timelines in humble acceptance, patience and devotion.
May all the beings be happy in this earth too and may in this Wesak season Lord Buddha, the Christ, Kwan Yin and all other enlightened Beings pour their Blessings and Love on us to help us return Home in awaken counciousness while still living in phisicallity.
Thanks Saul for your vehemence and passionate exhortative style that succeed where the sweet and smooth messages fail. Gratitude and love to you, Beloved Master.
Thanks John for posting
