But
in Oneness there is only joy! Suffering and pain are of the illusion,
and when it dissolves they will be gone, permanently. And deep within
yourselves you all know this which is why, when you fall in love, you do
want to merge with your beloved, even if only temporarily. You have
faint memories of Oneness, of the joy and ecstasy of that state, and it
is for that that you are looking when you are seeking out another to
love and be loved by, or when you choose a celibate spiritual path
seeking God directly, or even when you elect to follow a combination of
the two.
You
were not created to be alone, you were created One with your Source,
God, and that is indeed an idyllic state in which to exist; and it is
your natural state, the state that you so desperately seek but can never
find as a human because the illusion blinds you to Reality, hides It
from you. Humanity as a whole has finally realized this collectively,
although by and large it has not seeped into the individual conscious
awareness of most of you. And consequently many of you continue to seek
and find alternatives which never bring lasting satisfaction or
contentment, but often bring much pain and suffering.
You
are now in the process of becoming aware of this wondrous truth, that
you are indeed all One, and as this awareness grows so does the strength
and intensity of the divine flame of Love burning eternally and
inextinguishably within each one of you. From time to time you sense It
and feel wonderful, but then the distractions of daily life in the
illusion drag you back down, and you begin to doubt the accuracy of your
senses, and dismiss them as fantasies, unreal dreams, when it is the
illusion, the daily chores of existence as a human that are unreal.
When
you feel uplifted, empowered, joyful for no apparent reason, then
embrace that feeling, welcome it and allow your hearts to open even
wider so that even more of it can pour in, because that is the Tsunami
of Love about which so many are talking. When you focus on pain,
suffering, sadness, and other similar feelings you effectively block the
entrance to your hearts, shutting out Love. Instead, when you
experience those kinds of feelings just accept them and then
invite Love in to dissolve them. Love has infinite power and will
dissolve anything that is not in alignment with It, and when It does all
It is doing is blowing away the mist, the fog of which the illusion is
constructed. The illusion truly is just smoke and mirrors. All you
have to do is to allow Love in to blow it away.
The
thought of Love frequently frightens many of you because, within the
illusion, it has come to mean self-negating sacrifice of self on behalf
of someone else and is often confused with altruism which means to care
for others or another but not
to the exclusion of self. Children are brought up to pay respect to
their parents, their elders and “betters.” When they resist or complain
it is common to lay a guilt trip upon them, or worse.
In their early formative years as human beings children need to
behave self-centeredly so that they can learn independence, a required
competence for survival in the illusion. As they mature and grow
through their early teens, the loving, generous, and compassionate
behaviors that their parents have, it is to be hoped, demonstrated most
of the time while they were growing up will have been learnt quite
effortlessly, and then the children will follow that example.
However,
what often happens is that stressed out parents will have demonstrated
manipulation, guilt, and conflict, and those lessons will have been well
learned and then put into practice, whereupon parents exclaim “why on
earth are the children behaving so badly, they’re impossible, and after
all that we have done for them. How could they be so ungrateful!”
Do
not forget that you are all mirrors to one another, in any situation or
interaction – loving or hateful – you are meeting yourselves. That is
hard for most of you to accept. Forgive yourselves, forgive others, and
allow Love to take Its rightful place in your hearts where It will
dissolve all that is unloving and shine forth brilliantly offering
Itself, as you truly desire, to all with whom you interact in any way at
all, no matter how briefly.
Once
again it is important for me to stress to you the vital importance of
taking time out daily, alone, and safe from interruption, so that you
can access your intuition which is always calling to you gently,
offering guidance and comfort. It is the Voice of your true Self, the
Holy Spirit, or your favorite saint or angel, in fact anyone in the
spiritual realms with whom you commune regularly.
You
may even have no conscious idea of someone in the spiritual realms
answering your calls for assistance – you may not even be aware that you
make such calls – or calling to you or responding to you, nevertheless,
when you receive an inspired insight, or when something important comes
to mind that you had forgotten and could not afford to forget, that is
guidance from your friends and loved ones in the spiritual realms.
Remember to thank them!
But
you can only access that intuition, that loving guidance when you
temporarily quiet your chattering minds. Hence the need to take time
out at least once every single day. And when you do you receive
unlimited encouragement and assistance, all that you have to do is
accept it, and enjoy the sense of peace that it brings you.
With so very much love, Saul.
