There are none among you who do not want peace. February 14, 2015 by John Smallman Jesus through John







As many are now aware, humanity is in a moment of enormous change, a moment that has been divinely planned – in human terms – for a very long time, and that moment will neither wait, be diverted, nor avoided. It is the most essential and most keenly anticipated moment in all of humanity’s long history. To be incarnate now is a magnificent honor. The chaos you see “out there” is truly “within” – as within so without – and realization of that truth is dawning on all.


You do create your own reality, and you are aware of that because you often see people in situations that each of them experiences differently. For instance, two people are stuck in traffic or in a queue to pay for groceries, one person will notice the golden light shining though the leaves of a magnificent tree or the kindly patience of a cashier with an elderly customer and feel a warm glow, Love flowing freely; the other will just be irritated by the unforeseen delay to the activities in which they are engaged and blast their horn or be rude to the cashier. Same situation, totally different perceptions, and therefore different responses.


As awareness of this spreads throughout humanity, throughout the world, people feel encouraged to respond lovingly instead of angrily to minor issues and problems that occur during the day, their stress levels then reduce, and they end the day feeling relaxed and content. You talk of “going with the flow,” “of accepting what is,” and when you actually do that you do feel much happier and more content with your lot regardless of the issues with which you have to deal.


Life is for living, in the now moment, as it happens; when you move out of the “now” moment your awareness breaks down, the stories in your head – the past, the future, but never now – demand your attention, and life passes you by! Getting caught up in the stories, your life stories – “what happened to me” – takes your focus, your attention away from life, yet life is all that you have, and you do need to attend to it.


If that is difficult for you to get a handle on it is because you are unfocused. For much of your lives in the illusion it appears that nothing much is happening, and you become bored and search intently for something to distract you i.e. for something to excite or interest you and take you further into the illusion that is humanity’s main life experience. And that always disappoints you eventually, even if in the moment it seems to provide a rush, a close encounter with death for instance which, through your skill, you defeat.


The illusion is in fact very boring because it seems to separate you from the Source, God, the loving Unity in which you were created and where you experience eternal ecstasy. That is what you are forever seeking, and within the illusion that experience is unavailable because ecstasy is part of Reality, and the illusion is unreal. When you decided to immerse yourselves in the illusion you chose to separate yourselves from all that could give you joy – ecstasy! To be in the divine Presence is to be in eternal ecstasy, and you shut yourselves off from that wondrous state to prove to yourselves that you could live happily without It. And yet that state of holy ecstasy is ALL that you need or desire, ever.


When you awaken into that divine and holy state of existence, as you will, because it is inevitable and unavoidable because it is All That Is, you will return to a state of incomparable joy, and all in the heavenly realms, the spiritual realms will rejoice with God at the “return of the prodigal son!”


Let’s not get into “what about daughters,” there is only God, the divine Source in which all that is created exists, and that Oneness includes every possible shape and form that you can conceive of. To argue about male and female, female and male, sexism, is to distract you from awakening. To awaken you need to release from within you any belief or perception that is not in alignment with Love. That is anything that divides and separates you – race, color, creed, religious persuasion, sexual identity or preference, political alignment – because to take sides is to judge and to condemn, and therefore to attack, and to attack is always to attack yourself, because there is only the One.


Separation, attack, division, denial, exclusion, judgment, and condemnation are the defining characteristics of the illusion. They are all around you from the most discrete forms of exclusion to the most blatant. To exclude is to judge as unacceptable, to attack, and because there is only the One, it is to do it to Oneself, and that clearly is utterly insane.


The collective decision has been made by humanity to awaken from the illusion, and the effects of that momentous decision are readily visible all over the world as judgment of others and of their “strange” life styles becomes increasingly unacceptable. Yes, those judgments are still occurring, but awareness of the unconscionable nature of such judgments is growing rapidly, especially among the young.


You can only be free if you allow others to be free. The truth of that statement is reverberating around the world as people choose to be free and in doing so allow others to be free. You were created free by God because He freely gave you everything that He had out of the infinite Love in which He embraced and created every single one of you. You then chose to experience separation from Him, you split from the One into numberless billions, and ever since then each one of those billions has been engaged in the most insane competitive attempts to prove to Him that he or she is better than all the others. Your egos, your little separated minds, control you and war erupts, unless you refuse to allow them to.


Modern psychology has brought to the attention of many of you the danger of egos run wild. In previous times egos were honored and feted as the strong defeated and destroyed the weak, unaware that it was in fact a most self-destructive form of behavior in which they were all engaged. And the destruction continued and was celebrated for eons. Modern science and technology, and the weapons it made it possible for you to construct and deploy, has forcefully brought to your attention the ongoing insanity of such behavior. That is why, finally, so many are praying and meditating for world peace. The tipping point has indeed been reached, humans are sufficiently tired, nay exhausted by conflicts and wars on all scales, and are now ready to lay down their arms.


Encouragement is needed because trust has been betrayed so frequently in the past, and so all you Light bearers, Light holders, and wayshowers continue to be a most essential part of the awakening process. When arms are laid down the opposing sides attempt to lay blame on each other, and as has been so clearly demonstrated over the eons of human existence, blaming only encourages a resumption of hostilities.


Your task therefore remains – Hold your Light on High – refrain from judgment and from taking sides, even silently within the privacy of your own individual minds, and open up in trust and love to assist those hurt and damaged ones to come together without preconceptions about the outcome, so that divine Grace can flow easily between them to help them resolve their issues. Infinite assistance is available, if you will allow and encourage it to flow easily and sweetly between all the parties to conflict all over the world.


There are none among you who do not want peace. However, the fear that has been engendered by eons of betrayal requires an enormous amount of loving patience to be soothed and dissolved, and that is your task. Just by sitting quietly at home, praying and meditating silently for world peace will bring it about. The power of your loving intentions is astronomical, do not allow yourselves to underestimate that power. The fact that you can not feel it flowing through you must not discourage you. You incarnated to do this, now is your moment, and know that failure is unimaginable, inconceivable, and out of the question. The power of the Divine, God, your Source is empowering you limitlessly in every moment. Success is yours, divinely guaranteed and assured, so keep on keeping on with your loving prayers, intentions and meditations, and prepare to reap the rewards of your shatterproof persistence.


Your loving brother, Jesus.

End Your Suffering, Change the World By Jennifer Hoffman | Enlightening Life





End Your Suffering, Change the World By Jennifer Hoffman | Enlightening Life
January 26, 2015


It is the nature of humans to suffer and you have suffered for eons, through war, hatred, disease, and many atrocities that are waged on the basis of gender, culture, age or race. There are many examples of suffering on the Earth today, from countries that are ravaged by war, to hunger and abuse in your own neighborhoods. Suffering can be experienced globally and individually. Each person who allows suffering into their lives is responsible for both its presence and its resolution. Those whose nations are at war have relinquished their power to others and have chosen to live their lives in a state of powerlessness. Suffering, as with any aspect of life, is a choice, whose presence in your life is determined by your free will—you choose to suffer, just as you choose to remove suffering from your reality.


You may think of suffering as pain and that is one thing that it does bring; but the true nature of suffering involves what you undergo or experience, endure or go through. Suffering really has more to do with what you are willing to put up with in your reality than the terrible things that others do to you.  What you allow to occur brings to you what you will suffer and that applies to you individually, to the planet, and all of humanity.


To end suffering you must look at what you are allowing or accepting and begin to make other choices. If you fear to choose with your heart because of possible repercussions, then you have chosen to allow suffering. So suffering does not have to involve something as drastic as war. It can be as simple as allowing yourself to be treated badly by others or remaining silent about your desires when you would like to speak up, or even agreeing to something when you would much rather not. This is giving your power away and when you do that, you suffer.


The suffering that exists in the world today has been caused by the agreement of millions of people to suffer, to accept and to endure whatever is placed on their path. It will not take the efforts of the entirety of humanity to end suffering but it will take the intense focus and determination of many lightworkers, who have now become light beacons, to begin the changes that are necessary to shed light on the darkness and to teach others how to stop enduring and to begin living.


They can begin by following a very simple rule for life—love one another. That does not mean romantic love, it means the energy of love, which you call unconditional love which involves acceptance, non-judgment and detachment. It means understanding that all are one, all are connected to the same Source, and all live within Divine Perfection in every aspect of their being. It means acknowledging each other as the Creator’s expression of perfection.


Now, more than ever before, it is possible for all of humanity to live in peace and harmony, because you have a choice to end suffering in your lives, individually and globally. You can make that choice by healing and releasing your karmic ties on all levels, individually, in your neighborhoods, cities and nations and by giving unconditional love to everyone you know and even people you don’t know. It is just as destructive to hate a nation and its people, or a culture, a gender or a race, as it is to hate an individual.


Karma exists on all of these levels and when the people of a nation agree to release it, suffering will cease. And it does not take the agreement of an entire nation; it is enough that a small percentage of people begin the work and move the energy.  This creates a powerful wave of light that will overcome all fear and help others begin to stop suffering and to start living within a reality that is based on love, faith, trust and acceptance.


This is not impossible; in fact, it is already beginning and you have done your work well. But you must continue, for it begins with each one of you. You have the power to change the world because the world is a reflection of each of you. When you choose to end suffering and to live in joy, that choice becomes an option for all and the possibility of the miracle of peace then becomes an option for the world to choose, instead of suffering.

Update and 5 Steps you can Take to Be In Joy Now. December 15, 2014 By Jennifer Hoffman | Enlightening Life

"Do you remember the scene in the 'Poltergeist' movie where the little girl says "They're here!" I thought of that as I was writing this week's newsletter. It's here and we're here, are you ready? This week kicks off a two week action period, with the Uranus/Pluto square, an on going Grand Fire Trine, Jupiter stationary retrograde, Saturn enters Sagittarius, the Sun moves into  Capricorn, the Winter Solstice followed by a new moon at 0 Capricorn, Uranus goes direct, and Mercury enters shadow retrograde. That's a lot of activity and I may have left a few things out. What does this mean for us? We have been waiting all year, all decade, for this shift and we're now fully in it. How do you feel?


If getting here was harder than you thought, getting through the next few weeks may be a disappointment because following a tough journey, we expect the next steps to be difficult and I don't think these will be. In fact, I believe the only thing that will be hard about this period will be the change we have to make, from being on the defensive to being in receiving mode. The path to joy is opening up for us and we can step onto it any time we want to, if we decide to be happy and are determined to do it. That's the message for this week, 5 Steps you can Take to Be In Joy Now."    ~ Jennifer Hoffman

5 Steps you can Take to Be In Joy Now.December 15, 2014 By Jennifer Hoffman
http://enlighteninglife.com/5-steps-living-joy/


Have you ever carried a heavy box and then, when you put it down, your arms still feel the weight of the box? Or you pick something up, expecting it to be heavy, and then nearly drop it because it is much lighter than you expected? This has been a long, arduous, journey for everyone and we have followed the light to the end of the tunnel. Now that we’re there, we have to decide how to proceed. When all of our energy has been expended towards holding the light, what do we do when that is no longer necessary? Then it’s time to celebrate but even that means our journey is finished and we need to find something else to do with our time and energy. The voyage of light and dark has led us to wholeness and now we need to learn how to be in joy. (these irises joyfully bloom in my garden each spring, they are a great source of joy to me and to everyone who admires them. They are perennials, so they come back every year — joy is like that, it doesn’t need a reason but it does require an invitation when we are ready to receive it).


We are so used to working hard that we don’t know how to work ‘soft’ or work in joy. Living under constant pressure has made us wary and watchful and we don’t know how to relax. We can take a cue from today’s generations who have a much more relaxed attitude towards life and they can, because we laid the ground work for them. They know how to be in the flow because we made it possible, but what do we do with ourselves? We need to learn how to be in the flow that we have worked so hard to create too.


A few months ago I rented a car and noticed how the agent was typing because her fingers looked like they were gliding over the keyboard. She didn’t seem to be pressing on the keys at all and her fingers were moving at lightning speed. It was a lot different from the way I type and it should be, since I learned to type on a manual typewriter, where you had to press the keys really hard. She probably learned to type on an computer, ipad, or on her phone, where pressing hard on a key made it repeat the character multiple times. Hard versus soft, pushing versus flow, work versus play, healing versus wholeness — new times require new methods.


It’s a paradigm shift for us, the generations who came here with a big mission that required our willingness to set everything else aside, including joy, to get the job done. The energy shifts we are here to make are now done and what is left will not take the big push that was once necessary. Our new mission is to open the energetic pathways for 5D and above, which are based on joy. These are dimensions without polarity and fear, karma and suffering. But how do we move ahead in life without the things that push us forward? We take the steps to be in joy and move along that energetic pathway. Here are five suggestions:


1.) Decide that you are going to be happy. That sounds too easy but it isn’t. If you start each day deciding that you are going to be happy and are determined to create space for joy in every part of your day, you will find it. We always find what we’re looking for and we receive what we intend. So look for and intend joy and it will be there for you.


2.) Be crystal clear about your intended joyful outcomes. Intention creates our reality and when we are clear about the outcomes we want, we create a direct path for them to manifest. This maintains our focus so we are not taken off course by distractions and it helps us maintain strong boundaries and manage our energy. Be clear that you want joy, joyful, and joy-filled things in your life and create the path for joy.


3.) Mind your own business to stay on your joy path. Setting an intention can make its opposite very clear to us. When we intend joy, we can also become very aware of the unhappiness around us. Our path is our only place of power and we are a better teacher when we set the example, rather than limiting our joy by trying to help others out of pity. We do our best work when we do what we do best, which is living our life and managing our own energy. We can’t make others happy or give them joy, but we can be an example of joy and of joyful living for them.


4.) Use discernment instead of judgment to stay in joy. Judgment is an opinion about whether something is right or wrong and it blocks our energy flow. With discernment we decide whether something is right or wrong for us, and then we can direct our energy flow in the most beneficial way. Discernment gives us a moment to pause before we say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to ensure that what is before us is fully aligned with our intention. Use discernment to stay on your joy path and keep the energy flowing.


5.) Being detached allows us to care without becoming involved, it’s the difference between compassion and pity. It also gives us ‘clarity check moment’ before we choose to connect with something that will pull us off of our path and out of our energy. When we’re detached we remain on our path and connections flow to us. Distractions pull us off of our path and into situations that drain our energy. We are a joyful inspiration to everyone when we are on our own joy path.


Are you ready to start living in joy? It isn’t a way of avoiding or hiding from the world. But if we can be at any energy level we want to be at, and choose any experience of 3D that we wish, why not experience the world at the highest energy and vibration possible? The world doesn’t need more reminders of its failings and problems, it needs sources of joy to graduate into higher levels of being. We are the world’s teachers and light beacons, so let’s become sources of joy and lead the world into joyful, joy-filled, joyous being and living.
