.
You are all dearly loved – infinitely loved by our loving Father. You always have been and you always will be because the Love of God is eternal and unchanging. Therefore there is nothing you can do to alter this divine truth. As you live your human lives you frequently experience doubts about God’s love for you because, from early infancy, you have all experienced some, or maybe much, shaming and punishment by those who were responsible for your well-being, and having naturally assumed that those who are caring for you are good, you therefore concluded (in very early life!) that there must be something wrong with you. This sense of not being good enough, of being unworthy, is very deeply ingrained, and I want to help you to dissolve every aspect of it so that you can come to a deep understanding of its total invalidity, as you awaken to the realization of God’s infinite and eternal Love for you, Love without bounds or conditions of any kind. What God creates is unchangeably perfect. He created you and He wants you to know this eternal truth about yourselves.
In fact, deep within yourselves you do know this, and your awakening is about coming to full and constant awareness of this divine and unalterable truth, thus constantly feeling, experiencing, and delighting in the supreme joy of knowing yourselves as you truly are – eternally, inseparably, and most deeply in LOVE with God. Knowing yourselves as God knows you! And knowing that this is His Will and yours. You and M/F/G are in complete harmony in every moment, aware and fully engaged in the endless expansion of the Vastness that is Love. That state of being, your natural and original state, is eternal and unchanging, and you are awakening into full awareness of it.
To be fully aware, fully conscious, fully alive is God’s Will for you, and as you are eternally One with God it is also your will. You cannot not awaken, sleep is a very temporary and unreal break away from your natural state of being, a state of forgetting your true divine nature, it does not serve you, and so you will let it go.
Before you incarnated for this present lifetime you were fully aware and fully enjoying the oneness of Love that you are within the Presence that is God. And you also knew, having most courageously and enthusiastically volunteered to be physically present as humans in form to assist in humanity’s grand awakening, that this present human life experience would be very demanding and might also involve much pain and suffering. And yet you incarnated – most willingly! Here in the spiritual or non-physical realms you are most highly honored . . . and rightly so! Please start honoring yourselves, it is the Will of God that you do so, that you honor Her divine creation.
Call on us – me, saints, loved ones, who are always watching over you – for help and comfort whenever you doubt yourselves. As a well-known saying states: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going!” And you are far tougher and more powerful than you can possibly conceive of when you use only your human intellects to understand what life as a human is all about. Just remember that you are never alone!
When you take your daily quiet time to commune with us, allow yourselves to just relax into your holy inner sanctuaries without expectations. Allowing is essential. Allowing is surrendering to the energy field of Love within which you are always present, even though you can hardly feel its Presence embracing you. When you do this you will find your worries and anxieties reducing in intensity or even evaporating while you rest there. You do need to do this at least once daily, more often if you can spare the time, because doing so refuels your human energy fields, and then you find within yourselves the intuitive sense, the inner knowing that all is as it should be, and that you are where you are meant to be, doing and being the energy field of Love that is enthusiastically encouraging humanity’s awakening and bringing it to fruition.
Yes, humanity is awakening, and you are doing enormously important work in ensuring that it comes to its most wonderful fruition. Do NOT doubt yourselves, or your purpose. You are all – absolutely NO exceptions – making a massive contribution to this divine plan. It could not be happening without even one of you. You are each essential and unbreakable links in the divine chain of the awakening process.
Doing is a human activity that has been very helpful for you as you have been living your lives in the illusory state you constructed to experience separation. It has enormously expedited your spiritual evolution as you have evolved in form and thus come to a greater understanding of what your purpose is as a human – remembering who you really are.
Being is your natural state where your thoughts are instantly implemented. Thought is what creates, there is no doing – no hard work – involved. Thoughts are choices you make to share and extend the infinite energy field of Love in which you all participate in every moment of your eternal existence. They are harmonious cooperative events that bring intense joy to all involved as they burst into bloom. They are not extremely difficult intellectual exercises like those that humans work with to concoct new consumer devices, or that help scientists, through reasoning, to more fully understand your material environment, and, perhaps, attempt to control it. Thoughts flow beautifully for the greater glory of God.
So I confirm, humanity is awakening, and all of you are making it happen. Keep resetting your amazing and most powerful intent to bring that awakening into being by . . . Being! Being is totally natural, and as you become more accustomed to just allowing yourselves to be, your peace and contentment will effervesce.
Your loving brother, Jesus.

' Limiting Full Awareness '...........The Nazarene Speaks
Jesus through John
You have chosen to enormously limit your full awareness.
.............John Smallman
As you are all well aware, humanity is at a major moment of change, a turning point in its spiritual evolution, a massive moment of growth – it’s long planned awakening from unreality – with which it is engaging whole-heartedly as most purposefully intended from the instant in which it appears that separation occurred. The unreal has always been unreal, but because of your most powerful creative abilities as the divine children of God, it has, from the first instant in which you collectively constructed it, seemed absolutely real, which was your intent in the decision and choice to concoct it. Now you have decided that enough is enough. Separation, division, disagreement, and conflict have shown themselves to be insane ways in which to engage with one another, very frequently causing you untold pain and suffering, and so you have chosen this moment to let it all go, and awaken into the eternal and infinitely loving Presence of M/F/G. For us in the non physical realms this a moment of unutterable joy! Finally you are releasing your intense grip on everything – truly on nothing!!! – that brings you only pain and suffering, and are in the process of returning Home, as in the parable of the prodigal son, to a most magnificent welcome.
Home is where you belong, where you are always utterly and completely welcome, and is a state of existence from which you have never departed, even for an instant. Why? Simply because there is nowhere else! You just closed yourselves off temporarily from your awareness of Reality, and fully engaged with the unreal, the illusory environment that you constructed to experience that which is not and which can never be, an unreal state where Love is constantly sought instead of being constantly experienced. It is time to awaken from the dream of pain and separation, and humanity is now collectively engaged in doing so. You cannot fail to awaken, because your awakened state is ALL that exists!
Being awake is to know yourselves as One with Source constantly, and without any possibility of interruption. Needless to say it is a state of supreme joy in which there are no needs of any kind, and in which your magnificent creative abilities are fully engaged in adding to the joyous harmony that is ALL. All is All, and It is infinite perfection in every aspect of Itself as It shares and extends Itself with All, with ITSELF, and that is who You are! Yes, You are One, and individual, which provides the perfect way to engage with and interact with Love, your nature of Oneness and All. Words just cannot possibly express what I am attempting to express here, but when you awaken all will be absolutely crystal clear, only infinitely brighter and brilliant – the Light that is Love, that is God, that is You. It is quite impossible for you to conceive of this state of being while you choose to remain in form – which is a choice you made – and you can and will reverse it.
As you all continue to flow through the awakening process you are becoming increasingly aware – of course! – and your awareness, which in truth is infinitely vast, is beginning to see more and more Love in the world around you, as you allow yourselves to open to it. That awareness has always been with you because it is you, it is consciousness.
However, while experiencing life in unreality you have chosen to enormously limit your full awareness by focusing on only the details of the state that you experience through your human form – individual pieces of the seemingly vast jigsaw puzzle that life in form appears to be – and which you each personally extract from that state and identify with. Doing so confirms for you your belief that you are all separate from one another, and confirms for you the almost constant underlying sense that by being alone you are in danger from those others. Having experienced trauma in infancy and childhood, as you all have, although often not intended, this belief is very deeply ingrained within your human psyche. This why you lack trust in, and have doubts about the authenticity of M/F/G’s infinite and eternal Love for you.
The way forward from these doubts is to go within and invite and allow the Love in which you are enveloped to embrace you fully so that you can sense and feel It. Then your doubts will ease and fade as you truly feel the Love – Reality. It will be only a temporary sensation because everything that you experience through your human forms is temporary – this too will pass! However, the memory of it will remain within you and accessible in every moment, easing your doubts and strengthening your faith in God’s Love for you.
That memory of your momentary experience of Reality will empower you to renew your trust that all is well, that your awakening is coming to fruition, and will assist you in accessing your own deep inner knowing that you truly are One with Source, always and forever. You will no longer buy into the insanity of believing otherwise, because your knowing of Reality will be with you as a constant reminder that Love is All, and is infinite Wisdom and full acceptance of Itself as expressed through you. You are One eternally with Love, and so it is your divine right to love, honor, and respect yourself at all times. Not to do so is to dishonor God’s divine creation as you experience it in human form. Simply because you are playing an imaginary game, living an illusory dream, nothing of who you truly are can change, it is just that your free will choice permits you to imagine yourself as an unworthy sinner – something else, something other, that is unreal and has never existed.
As you have been told so often by human mystics, and by those who converse with you from the non physical realms, sin, judgment, shame, and punishment are totally unreal, just like the unreal environment you experience while choosing to experience life in form as a human.
God IS Love. Love IS unconditional. Love is All that exists, and within that state – there is no other state, place, or environment of any kind – All is in perfect divine alignment. Anything that is not in complete alignment with Love is unreal, could not, does not, and never has existed.
M/F/G is Love, You are Love, and your glorious awakening is divinely assured and guaranteed. Therefore rejoice, because All is eternally well.
Your loving brother, Jesus.
Eckhart Tolle - Know Thyself Revolution '...
Many people don’t realize until they are on their deathbed and everything external falls away that no thing ever had anything to do with who they are. In the proximity of death, the whole concept of ownership stands revealed as ultimately meaningless. In the last moments of their life, they then also realize that while they were looking throughout their lives for a more complete sense of self, what they were really looking for, their Being, had actually always already been there, but had been largely obscured by their identification with things, which ultimately means identification with their mind.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,” Jesus said, “for theirs will be the kingdom of heaven.”1 What does “poor in spirit” mean? No inner baggage, no identifications. Not with things, nor with any mental concepts that have a sense of self in them. And what is the “kingdom of heaven”? The simple but profound joy of Being that is there when you let go of identifications and so become “poor in spirit.”........................

On the arising new earth, however, their role is just as vital as that of the creators, the doers, the reformers. Their function is to anchor the frequency of the new consciousness. I call them the frequency holders. They are here to generate consciousness through the activities of daily life, through their interactions with others as well as through "just being".
In this way they endow the seemingly insignificant with profound meaning. Their task is to bring spacious stillness into this world by being absolutely present in whatever they do. There is consciousness and therefore quality in what they do, even the simplest task. Their purpose is to do everything in a sacred manner. As each human being is an integral part of the collective human consciousness, they affect the world much more deeply than is visible on the surface of their lives."................. ~Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth.

" The New Year " ...
Now the New Year reviving old Desires,
The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires,
Where the White Hand of Moses on the Bough
Puts out, and Jesus from the Ground suspires.
-- from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, by Omar Khayyam / Translated by Edward FitzGerald
Commentary by Ivan M. Granger
This verse is a recognition of the turning of the wheel of life and what we choose to do with each renewal.
He starts off with, "Now the New Year reviving old Desires." Why does the New Year revive old desires? The new year is a rebirth of the seasons, signaling a new cycle in our lives. If we don't apply conscious willpower, however, we instinctively follow the patterns we set in the previous year. So, with the new year, we are reborn, but so too are our old habits and old desires.
But "The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires." We always have a choice: We can give in to those old, often limiting patterns, getting caught up in the frantic activity and mental ruts of satisfying those old desires; or we can choose to let go of those compulsions and impulses and, instead, turn inward in contemplation, in meditation, in prayer. We can step out of the hustle and bustle of the hungry mind and retire to peaceful solitude.
Solitude, here, is not necessarily isolation or separation from others. For the mystic, true solitude is oneness, unity, wholeness -- whether or not other people are around. In this solitude, we encounter the living presence of the Divine, which Omar Khayyam evokes with the sacred figures of Moses and Jesus.
The "Bough" mentioned is the Tree of Life, which we find growing within us. Here we discover the guiding "White Hand of Moses." Moses represents awareness of the Divine Law and, although we have turned inward, we are being freed from the captivity of the limited awareness and false identity that had been held in place by those old mental patterns. The journey inward is a journey outward, the true exodus.
The closing line "and Jesus from the Ground suspires" is especially powerful. This breath, this suspiring is significant. In Muslim mystical traditions Jesus is often associated with the breath, healing, life-giving breath. To Muslims, Jesus embodies the breath of life, the breath of God. So, even though Jesus is in the ground, buried in the tomb (or born in the cave), or simply buried within ourselves -- we discover that he breathes! After feeling dead, no matter how we have stumbled or struggled, we discover new life buried secretly within us, we discover the Divine is breathing life into us. And we are that breath!
" The Mystical I "...
When the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, you are ordained, but you are not ordained to be set apart. You are ordained to heal the sick, to comfort, to feed, to forgive. That is the purpose of ordination~ not that you may be glorified but that you may be better equipped to give more abundantly, to share more freely, to understand more universally that it is not only the children of your flesh who are your children, but that all children of this world are your children, and you have an equal responsibility to share with them.
You must be able to look out upon this world and say unto it: "The Spirit of God in me is your Father. You may look to the Father within me for substance and sustenance. You, friend or so-called foe, may look to the Spirit of God in me, the fatherhood of God in me, for your care."
Then you will understand this relationship that has been kept secret from the world, the invisible bond that exists among all mystics. The visible and invisible mystics of the world who have recognized I standing at the door of their consciousness, are eternally united in consciousness, sharing with one another.
I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.
~ Revelation 3:8
~ Joel S. Goldsmith, The Mystical I
" The Mystic Death "...
The truth of your own nature, the mystics all testify, is that you are nothing, which reveals that you are everything. In your deepest essence, you are identical with God or ultimate reality. Your real Life is the birthless and deathless Life of God, and the Life of God embraces the whole of creation. But as long as your identity is centered in the limited life of the ego, you cannot live in full consciousness of this Life. Thus, you must die to your self-centered life in order to awaken into the Life of God. As Rumi says, “You want Reality unmasked? Choose death! Not the death that drags you to the tomb—the death that is a transmutation, so you at last change into the Light” (Rumi, Odes). Or, as Jesus says, “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it” (Matt. 16:25-26). Thus, the genuine mystic lives in and as God only insofar as the life in and as the ego is dead. It is the ego’s delusion of grandeur that imagines you can escape suffering and attain immortality, when in fact your life centered in the ego must be completely sacrificed in the mystical death. Any teacher or teaching that is not clear about this just feeds the ego’s propensity for megalomania and self-deception. The genuine mystical path involves the perpetual surrender and sacrifice of all self-centered egoistic activity, up to and including the complete sacrifice of ego-centered life itself. Thus all genuine mysticism teaches the cultivation of selflessness, love, and compassion........from integralscience.org
" The Nazarene Speaks "...
John Smallman
Aug 11
As you have been told so often: “There is only One!” This is an impossible concept for you to understand as humans in form, living in an unreal dream/nightmare environment that appears to you to be intensely and unalterably real, firm, and solid. But it is true, and at the depths of your being, behind the veil or mist that you have placed between your true or higher selves and your egos, you do know and can access this divine truth. Take time out at least once daily and set the intent very firmly and positively to access this deep and true inner knowing, and then relax totally – without expectation – thus allowing your higher selves to reveal themselves to you through your inner knowing, your divinely given intuition.
When you wait impatiently and expectantly, you give away your power to your egos, and they will always lead you away from Truth, away from M/F/G, insisting that you are wasting your time, that you are far too busy, and that you have a life to live, and thus you need all your energy for practical things with which your human lives need to be fully engaged.
But, there are no things! There is only life, consciousness, awareness, Love, Source, M/F/G, the ONE!
So, being One, what do you need to do? Nothing! You need, in every moment, to BE! That is your one and only task – to BE. You are divine, you are One with Source, you are Love, and there is nothing else and no need for anything else, because LOVE is ALL that Is! By trusting M/F/G and accepting yourselves, the divine and perfect children of God that you all are, as sinless and infinitely worthy of God’s love, you are being your true selves – All that you can be . . . ALL – and your very presence in form NOW is strongly and most vigorously assisting in bringing the collective awakening into bloom. That is precisely why you chose to be incarnate at this particular moment in humanity’s irreversible spiritual evolution, while also accepting that while in form you would indeed forget who you truly were, but would nevertheless follow a particular personal path through the illusion to assist in bringing about the collective awakening. This – the collective human awakening – is happening now, at incredible speed, and there are extremely clear signs of this wherever you choose to focus your human attention. Be of good cheer, All is well, It cannot be otherwise.
You are doing what you incarnated to do, you are Being. Being is being Love, which is your real and true nature. You cannot be anything other than Love, although as humans in form, in an unreal and very temporary environment, you can, and mostly do, choose to believe that the environment in which you find yourselves is a totally real and often dangerous one, and so you mostly use or engage with your egos to guide and protect you from the dangers with which human life presents you, believing that to be loving is weak and will encourage others to take advantage of your weakness. And this mightily distracts or discourages you from Being – you just don’t seem to have the time! And yet you can't not Be!
Remember, it was by your own free will choice that you incarnated, knowing that it was a most loving and courageous choice to make, and here you are seemingly lost and confused as you search for your life’s purpose – to gain security, money, safety, love? – and in the end none of those, even if achieved, serve to satisfy you. How could they? Only reawakening into your true state of Oneness with M/F/G – Love, capital L – will bring you true peace and joy.
Be fully aware that:
You are here purely to awaken, and to help all those with whom you interact in any manner at all to awaken with you. That is your task, your purpose, and you are carrying it out magnificently, even though it is not apparent to you, either because you are getting practically no positive feedback about your most amazing achievements, or because you are not paying enough attention as your human lives in form demand all of it. Truly you are, every single human in form without any exceptions, most magnificent and wonderful beings working in the dark – and without a flashlight – to bring all to the Light, and you are succeeding. Failure is not an option, it is impossible!
Humans everywhere are about to have a collective awakening into full conscious awareness of each of their own individual and most beautiful creative states of brilliance as One with Source, eternally in that Presence. However, your free will is also an eternal gift from God to use whenever and however you choose; it will never be overridden. Therefore there will be some who make a completely incontrovertible choice to remain in the unreal state which humanity has been experiencing for eons of time. Those highly personal and individual choices will be fully honored for as long as those ones choose to remain in unreality. For them life will continue “as normal.” However those choices will have no effect on your collective awakening, because, by those very choices, they will be be choosing to remain behind in an environment of fear, the state in which it seems that their survival is under almost constant threat, and in which it appears that conflict is an essential aspect of survival with which they have to engage constantly to ensure their ongoing existence as humans, the only form of life of which they can conceive. When they finally and fully realize the insanity of almost constant open conflict, they too will awaken, with great exhilaration, into the joy of that eternal Presence in the One. All are One, so not even one will be excluded, because then the One would be incomplete . . . a total impossibility.
Your loving brother, Jesus.
