Forgiveness is release!

01/12/2016 by John Smallman


The world, the illusory world in which humanity is dreaming a story that no longer appeals to it, appears to be descending into chaos.  What is happening is that you are becoming aware of the insanity of your so-called civilized lives as you burn through the planets non-renewable energy resources at a speed that is terrifying.  Your life styles, while seemingly moderate in their needs and expenditures, are at risk, and the chances that your children and grand children will be able to enjoy anything like a similar standard of living look increasingly unlikely.  You appear to be caught between a rock and a hard place as you so often euphemistically describe what appear to be insurmountable difficulties.

Maybe you comfort yourselves with the thoughts and the hopes that advances and new discoveries in technology will provide solutions to your innumerable problems.  And yet your doubts and anxieties at times overwhelm you, as you remember that historically empires and civilizations have always collapsed, even as you hope that this one will, at worst, just gently decay, allowing a new and improved social, political, and business environment to seamlessly replace the present unsustainable one relatively painlessly.


The bad news is that the old order, the old harshly competitive dog eat dog way of life, is on the verge of collapse.  However, the good news is that humanity is waking up to the unsustainability of constant conflict and planetary despoiliation, and in many places people are rising up to the challenge and taking the necessary steps to resolve conflict and reverse planetary damage through wise and thoughtful negotiation.  As a result those callous military leaders who have for eons chosen to engage in preemptive wars, and their counterparts in business and politics, and even some religious leaders, no longer have a following of admiring disciples ready to continue engaging in policies that can clearly be seen to be at best unwise and at worst totally insane.


Truly a sea change is underway as younger people, mostly aged forty or less, with what seems like extraordinarily wise heads on their seemingly young shoulders move into positions of power and influence.


Many of you have for decades been holding the Light and living kindly and compassionately, while forgiving those who have hurt or damaged you and holding the intent to refrain from judgment.  This has fortified your personal energy fields, the fields of Love in which every human is enfolded, and the upshot of those long held intentions is humanity’s collective decision to awaken.  It has probably seemed at times that your loving intentions were having very little effect, but in fact it is because of those constantly held intentions through the decades, without any positive feedback apart from your own inner knowing, that has brought you so close to your inevitable awakening.


Those of you over sixty years old, when you look back to your youth and the cultural environment in which you grew up, can see that enormous strides that have been made in reaching out to and assisting those in need.  There is still quite a way to go, but progress to end poverty and all its associated ills is accelerating.  Very few now blame the impoverished for being impoverished, whereas previously it was common to blame the poor while assuming they were lazy, lacked determination, and therefore deserved to be living in straitened circumstances.  So, really, much has changed for the better in humanity’s attitudes towards one another, and awareness is growing that your survival on Earth depends on your willingness to support each other instead of imperiously judging and finding fault with each other.


The decision to awaken is solely humanity’s.  Many wise ones have incarnated over the eons to bring this fact to your attention, and they have succeeded.  You were created free, and our loving Source will never override your freedom.  However, as long as you chose to play your game of separation and attack others who you saw as wrong or different, you were effectively closing your hearts and hiding from the infinite Love that is constantly offering you the solace and comfort from within the center of your being that so many seek outside themselves.


Going within, quieting your mind, and intending to feel God’s Love for you is the way forward along your individual paths of spiritual evolution.  When you allow yourselves to know that you are divinely loved you enable yourselves to cease self-judgment, which is endemic, and start to forgive yourselves for all your faults and errors.  As you do so you quickly realize that there is nothing to forgive, that you were just unaware and that your seeming misbehaviors were but misguided attempts to find your way Home.


When you truly forgive yourselves, having looked at all the issues that were causing you so much pain, you will be able to accept what arises in your daily lives without fear or anxiety, and you will find yourselves easily forgiving those whom you have judged as wrong or who have hurt you.  You will recognize in them the pain you experienced yourselves and understand that they too are just seeking the way Home.


Forgiveness is release!  Forgiveness dissolves grudges and resentments and brings you peace, a peace you could not imagine achieving while holding on to grudges and resentments.  More and more of you are engaging with it and as you do so you are releasing humanity – one another – from the prison that not forgiving builds around you, a prison in which you were hiding in fear of freedom!  When you find yourselves free you forgive, and when you forgive you find that fear has dissolved and that you are truly at peace.


Go within daily to engage with the Love that dwells there in every moment.  The Love that you are seeking so desperately can only be found within.  That is where It resides waiting for you to acknowledge It and allow It to embrace you and fill you with joy and peace.  You know It is there but you have become fearful because you have judged yourselves harshly and feel unworthy and undeserving of Its warm embrace.  Dismiss those judgments.  I assure you that God’s Love for you remains undiminished, and that there is nothing you can do to change that.  All you can do is refuse to accept what is offered, and why would you do that when your acceptance will bring you only peace and joy.


With so very much love, Saul.

What you all really want is to be loved, unconditionally. 02/13/2015 by John Smallman

What you all really want is to be loved, unconditionally.

Saul Audio Blog for Friday February 13th



As the energy of the divine field of Love continues to intensify all across the planet, bringing enormous changes to how you perceive one another, expect world peace now!  Because more than 95% of humanity most earnestly intend for it to materialize it will come into being.  It is your natural state.  War and conflict are not, but have enveloped you because your sense of separation has filled you with fear.


That fear is lifting because so many of you have, over the last several decades, met freely with people from other races, creeds, cultures, and religious faiths and discovered that you have far more in common with one another than you had imagined, and have realized that what divides you is simply fear and distrust of the unknown.  And you now see that that is not something you need to fear.  The unknown is yourself, the shadow side that has been buried and denied by every single human being, the normal desires and feelings that being human entails.


What you all really want is to be loved, unconditionally, and in your separated state you have closed down your awareness that you are eternally and unconditionally loved by God Who is Love.  That is what separation means – a strongly felt absence of Love! Separation itself is unreal!


The love that the vast majority of humans experience is always conditional, and that is not Love.  The result is that there is not one amongst you who has not at some stage felt deep within themselves a sense of abandonment, of worthlessness, and that is so intensely painful that you have had to bury it and deny it.


Even those of you who are consciously following a spiritual path based on God’s infinite and unconditional Love for all of creation, do, like all others, experience that sense of abandonment, of worthlessness.  We in the spiritual realms, no longer trapped in form, keep reminding you, through those loving souls who act as channels or go-betweens twixt humanity and the spiritual realms – Reality – that your underlying sense of worthlessness, of not good enough is utterly unwarranted.


As divine creations of an infinitely loving God none of those anxieties and self-doubts are, or ever were or could be, in any way valid.  Love is everything that exists, there is nowhere beyond or outside of Love, and as we keep telling you Love is always without conditions of any kind.  And every single one of you is held securely and eternally within the field of divine Love.


You have an old saying “all is fair in love and war,” (The proverb “All is fair in love and war” has been attributed to Lyly’s Euphues, published in 1578).  And many of you have at times fought for the love of another thinking that it was “the honorable thing to do,” because you thought it showed that you were serious, and that the one for whose love you fought would thereby be impressed.  That attitude led to and encouraged war – “love of country,” a political slogan to divide and conquer, “love of God” a religious slogan with the same aim.


Humanity’s interpretation of love and its apparent meaning has caused untold suffering over the eons, but that insane interpretation has been slowly unraveling, mainly as a result of the increased amount of questioning that self righteousness and dogma have been exposed to over the last few hundred earth years.


Initially to question “authority” was severely frowned upon, mainly by those who considered themselves to be the authorities.  But, more recently, the slogan “question all authority” has gained an unstoppable and irresistible momentum, leading to whistleblower’s revelations about the endemic corruption worldwide that those in positions of worldly power have engaged in and kept hidden from the populace for eons.


Lust has been mistaken for love for a very long time, and because of the intensity of that feeling and desire – for sex, property, money, or power (all of which can become irresistible addictions, and, of course, all addictions are simply desperate calls for Love) – it has tended to override and in fact crush or bury the normal feelings of honesty and integrity which are absolutely essential in relationships of any kind and at any level.


You were all created free by God.  You then used your freedom to build the illusion – an unreal place of severe limitation – immersed yourselves in it, learned to believe that it was real, and then almost convinced yourselves that it was the only reality.  Some of your scientists are still working very hard to prove that that is indeed the case!


As more and more people began to claim their freedom to think and behave as they chose, instead of being controlled by the authoritarian mores imposed on them by religion and society, respect for the rights of individuals to live freely and unjudged, following whatever personal lifestyles suited them, has grown.  The understanding of the meaning of the word “free” has also grown, and so has the understanding that “to love is to set free.”


It is this growing awareness throughout humanity, although frequently not yet clearly expressed, that Love is your nature and that Love is the only solution to any issues or problems, that is leading you forwards towards your awakening with such rapidity.  That moment is close.


The wondrous effects that the Tsunami of Love is bringing about all across the world are quite amazing, and all of you are aware of at least some of them.  When doubts arise within you about Reality, Love, God, the divine Source, and the plan for humanity’s imminent awakening, remind yourselves of the occurrences or events of which you are aware that prove conclusively for you that you are not being misled, that you are not insane.


Ask for a Love squeeze from your favorite saint, angel, the divine Mother, Jesus, or to whomsoever it is that you address your worries and concerns.  Expect to be comforted, to feel the Love that envelops you, and you will.  Even the slightest or faintest impression or sensation you experience is the result of your call to us and of our instantaneous response.  You are never alone, forgotten, or abandoned, it is just your immersion within the illusion that produces that sensation.


Continue to hold the intention for yourselves and for humanity to awaken.  You are on Earth at this moment to do just that.  You knew that you would find it very difficult at times because the illusion seems so dark, so impenetrable.  But you also knew that you could not and would not fail because you are never alone as you hold your brilliant Light on high, showing the way to so many who, without your Light and your Love, would have given up.  On Earth, as humans, you really can have no idea of the immensity of your power and how it is spreading constantly across the world bringing hope, comfort, and yes, certainty, to so many who would otherwise succumb to the numbing unbelief that the illusion feeds on.


You are all divinely honored, blessed, and filled with Grace in every moment, and the task you have set yourselves under God’s constant guidance will be achieved exactly as God intends. No other outcome is remotely possible.


With so very much love, Saul.
