Within each one of you the whole universe is present
By Saul
Channelled through John Smallman, 10 July 2016
One is all there is, there is nothing else! There is no
need for anything else because within God, the Source of all that is,
everything created by that Source is eternally present in glorious and
eternal divine harmony.
As humans, experiencing by your own choice the severe limitations
that a physical body imposes upon you, it appears that you are small
insignificant beings in a vast physical universe that is completely
unaware of you; the fact that you exist at all often amazes you. The
illusion is a superb but illusory construct that you built so that you
could play games of separation. Games that seem intensely real because,
while playing within it, you identify with your bodies and your egos –
which can experience intense pain and suffering – instead of with your
real and true nature, which can never suffer or be harmed, as It is One
with God.
Now the moment has arrived for you to finish playing games and awaken. Truly they have become overwhelming in the shock and suffering that they serve up to you, and you have all had more than enough of the seemingly endless betrayals and conflicts with which they present you daily.
To awaken is to let go of your beliefs, all of them! That may well sound insane, “I have to believe in something,” you exclaim. But truly all of your beliefs are beliefs in aspects of the illusion and are therefore unreal. When you release your belief in your beliefs you make space available for Reality to show Itself to you if you will allow. But fear often invades that space when you clear your minds because awareness then arises reminding you of your sense of aloneness and of abandonment that is the main feature of the illusion which you built purely to experience separation from Source.
Your natural state, your only state, your real state, is Oneness with Source, and should you be able to separate – which is impossible – you would cease to exist. Deep within you know this, but you have forgotten, or rather lost your awareness that separation is impossible because God, and therefore each one of you, exist eternally as One.
Look at the fear, look through the fear and see the infinite peace that lies beyond it. The fear is but a misty wraith that you have interposed between yourselves and Reality. Walk through it into the brilliant Light of God’s Love that awaits you on the far side and never again will fear have power over you.
Momentary fear occurs when the body senses danger, and that is normal, its function is to get your attention so that you can take the necessary steps to avoid or move away from any danger to the body. Afterwards it normally dissolves. However, it can be replaced by severe anxiety if you keep replaying in your minds the memory of the event that caused it. That is an ego distraction from life in the now moment, the only moment there is.
Your egos love you to be fearful because then they can control you and direct you into thoughts, words, and actions that are inappropriate and that can lead to you doing harm to your own bodies or to the bodies of others, and from there suffering and more fear arises, strengthening your egos. Only bodies can suffer, and you are far, far more than your bodies.
Within each one of you the whole universe is present. Everything you experience comes from within you, there truly is no “out there.” Therefore you have the power to change what you experience.
What arises physically is a result of the collective human mind’s projections, but how you experience what arises is due to the individual choices you make in the moment. You all are aware of people in difficult or dangerous physical situations responding in different ways as they deal with them. Some are courageous and help those in need, while others panic and flee. And it is inappropriate to judge either response as right or wrong because you can have absolutely no idea of what is driving people under pressure.
What you do need to understand is that you have the power of choice in every moment, and that whatever choice you make is a totally valid exercise of your power. From each choice you make during your earthly lives lessons arise that you wish to experience. That is frequently not apparent, and if the lesson remains unseen, unrecognized, and unlearnt it will be presented again and again until you do learn it so that then you can move forward on your spiritual paths. Sometimes people experience personally catastrophic events in their lives because the more gentle nudges they had been receiving to indicate the lessons with which they were being presented had not been recognized.
Every event, every experience that occurs during your earthly lives has a purpose, a purpose that you intended to have presented to you for the lesson that you wished to learn. There are no accidents and no coincidences, because you planned your earthly life path with great care before you incarnated. If life is not flowing smoothly for you, if you keep seeming to be blocked from achieving what you set out to achieve it means that you are not recognizing lessons that you chose to have presented to you. Karma is but the presentation of lessons that you, in clear-sighted wisdom and with guidance from your mentors in the spiritual realms, decided to learn during this lifetime.
Do not worry about failing to recognize and learn them, there is no stigma attached, there will always be another chance, and you will learn what you chose to learn. As you follow your chosen path of learning your earthly lessons are always presented at the appropriate moment. As you learn them peace and satisfaction follow. If you are not at peace, not experiencing satisfaction in your lives, then look at how you are behaving and responding to situations that arise, and ask yourselves if you are engaging with them lovingly, honestly, and with absolute integrity. Remember, Love is the answer in every situation. And you do know that!
Sometimes you may see people giving their all to assist others, to comfort others, to advise others, and yet their own lives appear to be very stressed and unhappy. Send them love, quietly and discreetly, and know that they are presently either not fully recognizing the lessons being presented to them, or that they have chosen a difficult path as a means of being with others who need and have requested more assistance through prayer. Every prayer and call for help is heard and most positively responded to, always.
And, as usual, I shall end this message by reminding you to go within daily, where you can access the divine flame of Love that resides within each one of you, waiting for your invitation to embrace you. You are never alone, however painful the situation you are experiencing may be. Know that you are infinitely loved in every moment, and invite Love in to comfort and advise you.
With so very much love, Saul.

Being Present
“Maybe you are
being taken advantage of, maybe the activity you are engaged in is tedious, maybe someone close to you is dishonest, irritating or unconscious,
but all this is irrelevant. Whether your thoughts and emotions about this
situation are justified or not makes no difference. The fact is that you are
resisting what is. You are making the
present moment into an enemy. You are creating unhappiness, conflict between
the inner and the outer. Your unhappiness is polluting not only your own inner
being sand those around you but also the collective human psyche of which you
are an inseparable part. The pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection
of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconscious individuals not taking
responsibility for their inner space.
Either stop
doing what you are doing, speak to the person concerned and express fully what
you feel, or drop the negativity that your mind has created around the
situation and that serves no purpose whatsoever except to strengthen a false
sense of self. Recognising its futility is important. Negativity is never the
optimum way of dealing with any situation. In fact, in most cases it keeps you
stuck in it, blocking real change. Anything that is done with negative energy
will become contaminated by it and it time give rise to more pain, more unhappiness.
Furthermore, any negative inner state is contagious: unhappiness spreads more
easily than a physical disease. Through the law of resonance, it triggers and
feeds latent negativity in others, unless they are immune – that is, highly
conscious.
Are you polluting
the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space,
nobody else is, just as you are responsible for the planet. As within, so
without. If humans clear inner pollution, then they will also cease to create
outer pollution
- (The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, Hodder & Stoughton, London,
U.K., 1999, p.63-64).
Q. I don’t see how I can be free now. As it happens, I am extremely
unhappy with my life at the moment. This is a fact, and I would be deluding
myself if I tried to convince myself that all is well when it definitely isn’t.
To me, the present moment is very unhappy; it is not liberating at all. What keeps
me going is the hope or possibility of some improvement in the future.
A. You think that your attention is in the present moment
when it’s actually taken up completely by time. You cannot be both unhappy and
fully present in the Now. What you refer to as your ‘life’ should more
accurately be called your ‘life situation.’ It is psychological time: past and
future. Certain things in the past didn’t go the way you wanted them to go. You
are still resisting what happened in the past, and now you are resisting what
is. Hope is what keeps you going, but hope keeps you focused on the future, and
this continued focus perpetuates your denial of the Now and therefore your
unhappiness.
Q. It is true that my present life situation is the result
of things that happened in the past, but it is still my present situation, and
being stuck in it is what makes me unhappy.
A. Forget about your life situation for a while and pay
attention to your life.
Q. What is the difference?
A. Your life situation exists in time.
Your life
is now.
Your life
situation is mind-stuff.
Your life
is real.
Find the ‘narrow
gate that leads to life.’ It is called the Now. Narrow your life down to this
moment. Your life situation may be full of problems – most life situations are –
but find out if you have any problem at this moment. Not tomorrow or in ten
minutes, but now. Do you have a problem now? When you are full of problems,
there is no room for anything new to enter, no room for a solution. So whenever
you can, make some room, create some space, so that you find the life
underneath your life situation.
- (The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, Hodder & Stoughton, London,
U.K., 1999, p.51-52).
“The best indicator of your level of consciousness is how
you deal with life’s challenges when they come. Through those challenges, an
already unconscious person tends to become more deeply unconscious, and a
conscious person more intensely conscious. You can use a challenge to awaken,
or you can allow it to pull you into even deeper sleep. The dream of ordinary
unconsciousness then turns you into a nightmare. If you cannot be present even in
normal circumstances, such as when you are sitting alone in a room, walking in
the woods or listening to someone, then you certainly won’t be able to stay
conscious when something ‘goes wrong’ or you are faced with difficult people or
situations, with loss or the threat of loss. You will be taken over by a
reaction, which ultimately is always some form of fear, and pulled into deep
unconsciousness. Those challenges are your tests. Only the way in which you
deal with them will show you and others where you are at as far as your state
of consciousness is concerned, not how long you can sit with your eyes closed
or what visions you see. So it is essential to bring more consciousness into
your life in ordinary situations when everything is going relatively smoothly. In
this way, you grow in presence power. It generates an energy field in you and
around you of a high vibrational frequency. No unconsciousness, no negativity,
no discord or violence can enter that field and survive, just as darkness
cannot survive in the presence of light.” - (The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, Hodder & Stoughton, London,
U.K., 1999, p.61-62).

This Reality
By Suspects
Suspects were a Belgian coldwave band from Hamon. "Among the last and youngest of the
old skool punks, Suspects rose up through the slums of Newport Beach in
80-81 only to spray their post-Adolescents vitriol on an unsuspecting
populace. Stormtrooping through Costa Mesa, Orange, Redlands and West
Hollywood on beer, 'ludes and speed, Suspects redefined the nihilistic
arc of little rich boy punk bands everywhere, mostly." (lastfm.com)
The band released 'This Reality' as a single in 1981, and had a song in a Belgian compilation that same year.
