This is a very difficult and stressful time for you all, especially as you pay compassionate and concerned attention to the vast amount of suffering and deprivation that is being endured by so many all over the world. The tsunami of Love is flowing powerfully and intensely through your illusory dream-scape. It is very effective and it is stirring up all your unaddressed issues which have been lying like mud or sand at the bottom of the pond that is your unconscious, the vast hidden area of your mind where all that you could not bear to face has lain hidden for eons. All that “muck” has to be released and cleared away so that the Light that each one of you carries with you constantly can shine forth brightly as divinely intended. As It does so you will become increasingly aware of the divine Light shining forth from others – your heavenly brothers and sisters, the beautiful children of God.
You are all brilliant and divine beings who have hidden your Light so well from yourselves that you have almost forgotten (indeed some have forgotten) that your true nature is an eternal and divine nature which can never be discarded or lost. It can only be momentarily hidden from view as you play your illusory games of separation. And, as you keep on being told, the horrendous era in which the illusion has been constantly presenting you with these painful and disturbing dreams is over, finished with, terminated. You are about to wake up, your awakening is imminent, and you do know this, so when you spend time in that quiet inner space, to which you all have access, allow that knowing to come to the surface of your awareness and embrace you. And it will!
Allowing is the secret, but what often happens is that you are so keen and impatient to receive answers that you do not allow yourself to “hear” the Holy Spirit, your higher Self, your favorite saints, guides or mentors, because your ego rushes noisily in to fill that quiet space with its own self-serving answer. It can’t abide quiet space! Discouraging distractions such as “I’m just imagining this” or “What’s the point, it’s not going to happen” or “Why would one of these spiritual entities waste their time talking to me,” then flood your mind.
You can all probably offer your own examples of personal and discouraging “favorite” distractions. This is because your egos desperately want to be heard, all the time! You have all been in situations where you are listening to someone and an idea pops into your mind that you just cannot wait to share with the person who is talking, so much so that you either interrupt to make your point, or you focus so intently on that idea that you do not hear the remainder of what the other is saying. It is the same when you meditate and seek guidance, distracting ideas occur to you and you lose your focus.
Meditation is a discipline that requires your focused attention and therefore you need to practice it seriously and regularly. Often you spend time sitting, intending to meditate, but other “important” stuff comes to mind distracting you. Then, suddenly, the quiet time that you had set aside has passed and you have to move on. But with practice you do become steadily more adept at disregarding the distractions that your ego tosses so enthusiastically into your quiet space. Persistence with your practice works, so persist, the odds of success are weighted heavily in your favor.
Guidance or answers from the spiritual realms are very softly “spoken,” gentle, unintrusive, so you do have to listen carefully and patiently, and that is very difficult for those of you brought up in the “high-powered, get it done” kinds of western culture where time is money and must not be wasted. As a result, you often respond with the first thought that comes to mind when dealing with a stressful or conflict-driven situation, and, as you have all doubtless experienced, it can frequently be the wrong one.
Meditation is not only an essential practice to allow you to gain access to your guides and receive answers from them on issues that concern you. It also trains you not to react too quickly, and possibly impulsively, in your daily lives when communicating with others, but instead to pause and make space for all the appropriate responses available to you to present themselves, putting you in a far better position to deal with whatever the situation demands.
So, yet again, I am stressing the importance of making “down time,” quiet time, uninterruptible time solely for yourself available to yourself daily. The stresses upon you have been increasing enormously as more and more of the deceit and corruption on which the world – the illusory world – turns is disclosed, demanding that you sit up and take notice.
The old days, when you thought that you could trust your duly elected governments and their agencies, and your supposedly “responsible” multi-national corporations to take care of the interests and well-being of the majority are long over. However, the hidden secrets and corrupt agendas that have been followed by those in positions of power and authority, whom you had been trusting to act on behalf of the general good – that whistle-blowers everywhere are now placing in the public domain – are shocking and very disturbing. To be shown how blatantly your trust has been betrayed is stunning, and then numbing as that betrayal appears to be forever ongoing and unending.
The only way to relieve the intense stress that this unfolding torrent of deceit and betrayal is causing is by taking time out, daily. In that time remind yourself that everyone, even one who appears to be totally evil and corrupt, is a holy child of God. When they, or anyone, behaves badly, it is truly a call for Love. Only those in severe inner pain – pain that they most vehemently deny – could behave so abysmally towards others.
In those quiet times you relieve your stress by reminding yourselves that your everyday world of deceit, suffering, and corruption is an illusion, and that only Love exists. Love is unconditional, undiscriminating, and totally accepting of all of God’s children. During those quiet times make and renew your intent to be Love in action in every moment. When you make that intent, and then hold it and demonstrate it, you are very effectively adding to the field of Love enveloping the world.
Love can be rejected or ignored, but It cannot be destroyed, eradicated, or overpowered because It is infinitely powerful, being All That Exists. As you make the intent allow the Love to wash over you and embrace you, feel It, and then forgive all who appear to be in opposition to It. Doing this is enormously powerful, it eases your stress and anxieties, and it truly does soften the hearts of those who seem most opposed to It, effectively wearing down their ill-advised resistance to It.
Of course many of you are already doing this, and some of you no doubt are feeling that it is having little if any effect. You could not be more wrong! Your loving intentions are changing the world and bringing all to awakening. Continue to do what you have been doing so well, and make a point of accessing your inner knowing which confirms your certainty that your awakening is imminent.
With so very much love, Saul.
In case any of you have been wondering where I’ve been, well I was just taking a break while sorting out some of my own stuff.
You probably read this. Boy if it is ever true for me right now.
I’m glad to hear you took time out for you when you needed it, John. Always! Thanks for all the wonderful channeling. Yours is one of the few I still read since coming into my own channeling abilities.
Love & blessings, Lana

I needed to hear this reminder that I am One with the Love the illusory world requires to perfect the overthrow of fear, separation, distrust and anguish. Having long gone beyond the place of denial, having so long burdened myself with the sufferings and sorrows, and the subsequent guilt of transcending these slimy deceptors…………..just to BE the presence of Love, the holder of Light, and the bridge of Truth, even if merely during meditation IS being the change, making manifest the Vegantopia which already exists within my defenceless heart.
An excellent timely reminder for me, John/Saul.
Thank you.
We’ve missed you! Glad you’re back. And thank you for these wonderful messages. It always serves to bring light and hope on dismal days. All the best to you.

Thank you, John. I appreciate what you are doing. This message from Saul was exactly what I needed. The words were perfect. Love, Frederick
Thank you John – I love your posts.
You are my hero this morning.
With all my heart I am launching my carousel story books to touch the hearts of children worldwide. I have poured so much time, energy and money into this project and it just isn’t taking off. Book one is published in Spanish and English,; book two is being colored and a coloring book to come out over the summer. My website is CarouselsAreMagical.com. I did videos, charities, book readings in schools and libraries. It’s tough to fill my sails with so much wind every day.
Any cool suggestions? God knows I am open.
thanks…Andrea
Thanks, John. I so appreciate it when you’re able to pass along thoughts from Jesus and Saul. Everything shared resonates and helps guides me. ❤
Thank you Saul ..love light meditation , focus , grateful , happy joy and transendence ..higher love

As you may realize, John’s beloved wife Eugenie passed away earlier this year, which no doubt has had an effect on his formerly regular channeling routine. Any time we hear from him is a gift, IMHO. His posts are among my favorites, as I resonate with their loving intent, and I appreciate the hope they offer and the grace with with they are delivered.
Just to say thank you,,for all your articles.
Beautiful,wise guidance and so helpful to us all.
So thank you thank you thank you, I love you, xxx
Thank you, John, and of course, Saul. It has, indeed, been a most difficult, and incredibly stressful time with many challenges and very harsh energies to endure. Good to hear that this is the order of the day, to clear the muck at the bottom of the barrel and sort out our “stuff.” I’ve been doing a lot of that myself lately. Ouch!
Please keep it coming as i do miss them when u take breaks, but please take care of yourself first. we all have “stuff.” I will say the reason I read John/Saul is because it’s like reading ACIM again, where Jesus was the speaker. I can hear him speaking thru Saul and John and so they must all be hanging out together somewhere conspiring to keep us on track thru the hard times. well, it’s working! and thanks again. my thoughts are for your well being.
But we have yet to see any of the falling of the old regime. This sounds like it’s on the news every night. Am I in a different world?
Thank you John, I’m glad to see another inspiring message. Seems like I need to work on my meditation skills… I agree we live in quite stressful times. Take care John.

The outer pressure is raising, the old style rulers begging for our votes to keep them in power. But deep inside the new is ringing for change, a change for the self and for our world that could be a better place. Thanks Saul.
