Focus on listening and attending
to others lovingly

The great event – awakening – continues its approach, and as it
does so more and more of humanity is feeling the need to change attitudes and
behaviors so that longterm peace may prevail all over the planet. The
energy from the divine Love field is penetrating areas of human thought and
activity that would seem inconceivable to the majority of you, and yet the
darkest and most carefully hidden domains, from which Love has been locked out
for eons, are being gently and most effectively permeated. This is not
readily observed by the population at large; nevertheless, it is most
definitely happening, and as a result those who would maintain and strengthen
the old dark ways are falling into confusion and disarray.
As you are constantly reminded: Love changes everything! Love —
the power and energy of creation — is indefatigable and, ultimately,
irresistible. You are eternally enveloped in Its warm embrace, and you
all will succumb to Its captivating and enchanting appeal, leaving the illusion
far behind you, because it is where you belong and where you truly want to be.
Every thought, every ambition, every hope, and every desire that occurs
to you is to bring to your attention your ceaseless intent to awaken, to
experience Reality, oneness with God your divine Father. You seek nothing
else.
The illusion has certainly succeeded extremely well in its
purpose to distract you from Reality, but only fleetingly. It is a
transient, ephemeral state whose time has expired; it has passed its sell-by
date, and the odor it is giving off confirms this to all who choose to know it.
Reality is timeless, while for the illusion time is most certainly
running out.
Illusory ideas and concepts still plague humanity, but there are
now enough of you making the intent to awaken and to shift the collective
consciousness away from fear and far closer to Love. This shift will lead
to a much clearer understanding of the meaning of the illusion and of your
reasons for being part of it and experiencing it. It will also provide
the impetus — the intuitive pressure you need to rediscover within yourselves
the God Spark — That which will prove to you, without any room whatsoever for
doubt, that you are all divine beings of inestimable worth.
That realization, by itself, is gently permeating your conscious
awareness and demonstrating to you that you are never alone, and never have
been, although you have often felt totally alone, abandoned, and unloved.
In fact, many of you have felt and still feel deep down within
yourselves, where you do not like or choose to venture, that you are indeed
unlovable. But that is one of those culturally imposed beliefs that are
completely without foundation.
The realization that the opposite of that ridiculous belief is
the truth is the result of an opening-up of your hearts, a growing awareness
that those sensations, though often terrifying, are unreal: an insane concept
you developed to explain the illusion to yourselves, and to try and make some
sense of it. Now you understand that that is impossible, for the simple
reason it truly does not make sense and never has. With that
understanding comes the awakening self-awareness that demonstrates to you
unequivocally that you must be a part — an inseparable and altogether essential
part — of God, All That Exists, because there is obviously and logically no
alternative.
The coming into awareness of this essential truth is an aha!
moment of a most uplifting nature. Some experience it most dramatically
through a near-death experience, as the result of a grave illness or the death
of a loved one, though for most it creeps up unexpectedly and occurs during
meditation, praying, reading a book, or watching a movie. However it
arrives, it is never forgotten and it removes any lingering fear you may have
of death.
It does not affect normal fears, such as from almost walking
unthinkingly in front of moving vehicles, or almost falling down stairs that
you had not seen, which are practical, inbuilt protective devices intended to
grab your awareness very quickly so that you do not damage your physical bodies
unnecessarily when your physical activities and your mental processes are not
in alignment — a not uncommon situation for many of you. You all have a
spiritual path to follow and fears like that can save you from "falling
off your path” inadvertently or prematurely.
That aha! moment, which in bygone eras was quite uncommon, is
now happening to large numbers of people, as the God Spark within them
reignites, flooding their awareness with a wonderful sense that all is well and
that all will remain well. And of course it will . . . because you are
all engaged in the process of awakening into Reality where all is eternally
well. Focus on that point – “all is eternally well” – and let it guide
you in every moment. You do know it, but you often allow illusory doubts
and anxieties to divert your attention from it.
Nothing that you experience in the illusion is meaningless . . .
except for the illusion itself! Everything that happens, every situation
in which you find yourselves is bringing you a lesson. When the lesson is
learnt you will not undergo it again, although you may see others apparently
doing so. Unless they ask for your assistance it is often unwise to offer
guidance. You may well be tempted to do so because you now feel that you
are a bit of an expert; resist the temptation and remind yourselves that each
one has to learn their own lessons in their own time. After all, you did!
Focus on listening and attending to others lovingly, because it
is extremely helpful in aiding them to sort out their own ideas and solutions.
By being a loving and accepting presence you provide enormous help to all
with whom you interact, allowing the grace they need to flow through you to
them. You cannot see it or sense it, but it is there, and you will
experience a sense of peace and calmness in yourselves as you just listen,
allowing your presence and the loving energy it holds to mingle with that of
those with whom you are interacting.
Loving, calm, and peaceful interaction is the best way for you
to assist in humanity’s awakening process, and it is why you are on the planet
at this time. And, of course, that kind of interaction helps you enormously as
well, because what you give, you receive in abundance. Just repose in the
sure knowledge that you are always divinely loved and cherished, no matter what
may be occurring in your lives, and make sure to take time out regularly,
daily, to rest and recuperate in the quiet space within, in the loving embrace
of your God Spark. When you do so It becomes brighter as your energies
align, strengthening your connection to It.
Your loving brother, Jesus.
