Jesus Audio Blog for Friday March 8th
The Oneness that is God, that is All That Is, includes every sentient being ever created or that ever will be created:
There is NO separation! Ever.
But, living in form, as humans, the reality of this escapes you. You
have forgotten the Truth, and because of the severely limiting beliefs
that being human imposes upon you, you need divine Guidance to find your
way Home. And that Guidance – the Holy Spirit – is
always with you waiting patiently for you to take the time to listen.
Living as humans in form your egos are extremely vociferous, making it very difficult for
you (
you are
not
your egos, although your egos don’t want you to know that) to hear the
still small voice for God. Sometimes you do hear but refuse to believe
it, thinking that you know better. You have all at times gone against
your intuition, your inner knowing, and, when things have not turned out
as you had hoped they would, you have regretted not listening to your
intuition. Your intuition will never lead you astray. Nevertheless,
that does not mean that your path will always be smooth, because before
you incarnated you set yourselves up with a path that would present you
with the lessons that you needed to learn, and that you had therefore
chosen to learn.
Most of you have had many human lives and have not yet learned all
the lessons that were appropriate for your circumstances. Now, as your
awakening approaches, these lessons must be learned to enable you to
move forward. Within every human these lessons are now arising in
myriad ways, causing chaos, confusion, and conflict in many places, and
in many relationships. The way to deal with them is to
listen! Your divine Guidance is
always with you, and Its message is consistent, it is
always the same: “Love one another!”
Deep in your hearts you know this to be true, and yet you disregard it when you
choose
to be offended by another’s unloving judgment of you, or by their
unloving words directed at you, and instead of responding with Love you
choose to respond – or, more honestly,
react – in a similarly
unloving fashion. Many people are forever attacking others, or
defending themselves against others, and even though it is normally done
only silently in their minds, what people do in their minds establishes
their beliefs, the beliefs they live by and which direct their lives:
“I cannot trust anyone; I am always being attacked; no one appreciates
me; no one understands me; no one
LOVES me!”
For as long as you wait for another to be loving first, so long will
you keep on waiting to be loved instead of being attacked. Love and
change starts with
you! After all, as you have so often been told:
There is no one else!
Over the last five or six decades many people have woken up to this,
and have changed their attitudes and their behaviors. As a result
awareness has grown, on a scale never before seen in humanity, of the
need to move from fear to love in all relationships, from personal ones
to international political ones, and all in between. It is this
enormous change in the collective awareness that is leading you so
powerfully forwards towards your inevitable awakening . . . and without
delay.
Your awakening
requires that all your ignored or denied issues
– anything within you that is not in alignment with love – arise into
your awareness so that they may be released. This means that you must
forgive all who have caused you pain or suffering of any kind. Most of
you are aware, or are becoming aware, that quite often what you
experience as an attack is nothing of the sort, that you have in fact
just
misperceived a situation or a communication.
However, in the moment, you either reacted defensively or attacked the
other, leading to escalation and conflict which was not only
unnecessary, but was also painful, and very damaging for the
relationship.
Before forgiving however, demanding judgment and restitution for
perceived wrongs seems just, righteous, essential, and the only way for
people to live together peacefully in any kind of community or society –
Rules are required and must be obeyed . . . or else!
This is the way humans have conducted their lives for eons. It is
not forgiveness just to let go of bygones because the offending person
has been judged and suitably punished, leaving you feeling and believing
that justice has been served, while, at the same time,you continue to
hold onto a sense of vindication because of the outcome. Now, more and
more people are beginning to see through the unworkability of this
belief, and are changing their attitudes and behaviors to reflect this
awareness.
Forgiveness occurs when you choose to forgive another by completely
and utterly, without any conditions whatsoever, letting go of any hurt
that you have experienced and been nursing – sometimes for many years.
When you do that you find peace within yourselves. Within that feeling
of peace another amazing thing also happens: you find that you can
forgive yourselves for all the wrongs that you have committed which have
hurt others, and which you have, until this moment, either denied
because you
are so ashamed of them, or justified because you believed that they were perfectly reasonable responses to another’s attack on you.
Forgiveness calms the potential energy that can build storms of
painful emotions within, which have often been lovingly held onto for
long periods of time, sometimes decades, that erupt powerfully from time
to time, totally and utterly dissolving them. Until you truly forgive
you will find this impossible to believe. And when you do forgive your
whole experience of life changes dramatically for the better, because
all those jealously harbored resentments and feelings of bitterness,
over how others have treated you in the past, are no longer constantly
replaying in your memories and bringing those events vividly back to
life in the present moment, thus denying you any sense of peace or joy.
The process of forgiveness, and it is a process, demands recognition
and acceptance of your humanness and of your divinity. Your divinity
is, of course
perfect, but your human side is in the process of
evolving spiritually, and forgiveness is a large part of that. There
are very few among you who do not bear grudges and resentments against
others for perceived mistreatment, valid or invalid, that continues
daily to disturb your ability to feel at peace for any length of time.
When memories of mistreatment arise causing strong emotions of fear,
pain, anger, and resentment to invade your minds, your sense of pleasure
in just being alive gets blocked out or hidden from you. When true
forgiveness occurs within you, you will know it, because those storms of
painful emotions will no longer be present, and you will find
yourselves mainly in a state of peace and contentment.
Therefore, in your daily periods of contemplation, meditation, or
plain relaxation as “you just smell the roses,” set the intent to let go
of the judgments that encourage your sense of righteousness, and which
forbid you to forgive, because you believe that justice must be done and
be seen to be done. It is these long held attitudes which have brought
so much pain and suffering to humanity over the eons. After all, most
of you have no trouble forgiving small children for their errors and
mistakes, therefore intend to realize that although you inhabit adult
sized bodies, and have probably done so for decades, there is still
within you a small child who acts out from time to time. Now is the
time to intensely renew your love for that small, and often frightened
child – who undoubtedly had many experiences of painful and abusive
behaviors while growing towards adulthood –and welcome it into your arms
with a warm loving embrace, while totally forgiving it for every
misbehavior or misdeed that it has ever committed. This will not be
accomplished in an instant, because injury – mental, emotional, or
physical – encountered during childhood leaves deep scars that require
time and loving kindness in order to heal.
Give yourselves that time to heal, don’t try to rush it – rushing,
seeking instant gratification, is endemic in many parts of the world
today. Your inner child needs time,
your time! So provide it
willingly and lovingly, and listen to it with great patience and
empathy. Explain that you totally and utterly support it, and that you
will be there when it is in fear, and that you will help it to grow up –
as it most certainly wants to . . . don’t you remember, you did? –
being there with wise guidance when it feels threatened or needy. Love
is the offering that your inner child needs and deserves from you, and
only you
can provide it. It’s very likely that when you were small those who
were caring for you, or were supposed to be caring for you, did not give
you the time you needed, therefore it’s a need you do fully understand .
. .
honor it in your inner child!
Your loving brother, Jesus, who
always honors your inner child.
