Despite all the uplifting and inspiring channeled messages we are presently receiving from our dear friends in the spiritual realms one can’t help occasionally getting dragged down into the illusion, wondering if anything has really changed over the eons, I know I do. As we view or listen to the mainstream news the conflicts in relationships, families, and between and within nations continue seemingly as they always have done, with no visible end in view.

We TRULY NEED to hold LOVE in our hearts constantly and intend to extend and share it so that the vast majority of humanity’s conscious awareness, our collective awareness, rises to the levels that our New Age demands of us if we are to live in the divinely promised state of peace, joy, and harmony. In doing so we absolutely have to include EVERYONE, no exceptions for harsh, ignorant, and arrogant dictators, whether they be family members or a nation’s potentates! We have to send Love to absolutely everyone, and release our judgment of all of those whom we believe should know better and behave better. I KNOW we can do it! In fact we are doing it.

Why am I sending you this message? Well, I was just playing one of my CDs of “The Dubliners,” I’m a great fan of theirs, and the following song blasted out of my sound system “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda” which refers to the catastrophic World War 1 battle known as the Battle of Gallipoli in which so many Australian and New Zealand men were killed and injured. . . pointlessly, as in all wars right up to the present day. It reawakened my awareness (TOTALLY ILLUSORY!) of the seeming impossibility of the general population of the world rising to the level of spiritual awareness that we need to to attain to achieve a lasting state of peaceful, loving, and harmonious cooperation here on Earth. And right now in many places we are remembering and commemorating the start of World War 1 100 years ago, as chaos appears to be erupting again worldwide.

We have been told time and time again that WE are the ones who are bringing in the New Age, and often it appears to be an impossible task, a DREAM! But, we do know, each one of us . . . we truly cannot honestly deny it! . . .  deep in our hearts that this is not so. The New Age is here, it is happening, and only BECAUSE we are continuing to hold our Light, God’s Light, the Light of Love, on high as we treat all others with dignity, respect, forgiveness and love. It is the field of Love that we, in our Oneness, are holding on high and in which all that exists is warmly and eternally embraced, a field in which no one can ever be lost, abandoned, or discarded.

All that we have to do is open ourselves to It by releasing all sense of personal unworthiness, sinfulness, or any other personal sense of inadequacy, along with any resentment, judgment or condemnation of others because we are ALL and always will be divine beings beloved of God, One in Him and in each other. However unpleasant the thought may be . . . we are all mirrors to one another. What I love in another is a direct reflection of myself, and so is what I resent or despise in another. And consequently there is no way for us to exclude others, who we may have the arrogance to judge as unworthy on His behalf, without doing it to ourselves.

As Jesus and Saul keep telling us LOVE is the ONLY way forward, and this song (link below) brought it very clearly home to me once more, by demonstrating once more the futility of war, of conflict, because NO ONE wins, we ALL lose.

Love and hugs to all,
John.
