Today is a new day. Of course every day is a new day, but people often forget that as they plod through their daily chores earning their living. But enormous changes can occur in one day, or in an instant. You are free to make choices in every moment, and you do, but they are very often the same choices that you have been making for years, in almost complete unawareness. Become aware of your choices, each and every one of them, and then decide if you would like to maintain them or change them – from which shoe you put on first in the morning to whether you really want another cup of coffee or tea, to whether you want to change jobs, careers, or relationships. So many of your choices have become automatic, and yet your choices determine how adequately or inadequately your lives flow.

Make each day new by being aware of each choice you make, from the smallest to the largest. That does not mean just being aware that you have made a choice, but discerning if it is really the best choice you can possibly make in this moment. Drifting through life is what occurs when you do not see all the choices that lie open before you in every moment. But you can become aware of the great variety of choices open to you by practicing discernment in your little choices – which shoe shall I put on first, and why – because it leads you into full awareness of what you are doing in each moment and that enables you to question the wisdom of that particular choice.

If you are not accustomed to being so aware of your daily routines in such detail, starting to become aware can seem like a very difficult task, but, with practice, as with all things, it becomes easier and then natural. It is a case of being present in every moment so as you raise a cup of tea to your lips you are aware of choosing to lift it so that you may take a refreshing sip, and then enjoy the sip, and then, with awareness, putting the cup down again. That kind of awareness of each moment has incredible healing power.

Once you have dressed in the morning, very frequently your awareness of your body and how it is functioning for you slips from view, unless you are sick or in pain; and yet it is constantly collecting information that can assist you in living more fluidly, more consciously, and thus getting far more from life than you normally do. That is the purpose of the saying: “Take time to smell the roses.” Too much of life goes by in a whirling rush, leaving you tired and exhausted at the day’s end. That need not be, because, being fully aware, living each moment as it arrives, reduces your levels of stress and the amount of energy that you need to expend in the business of daily living. In fact, by choosing to be aware,  you allow yourselves to open to the endless and abundant field of energy, Love, in which you have your eternal existence.

You are pure energy, Love, but have chosen to restrict your awareness of and engagement with that natural state by enclosing yourselves in human bodies. By doing so you do offer yourselves great opportunities to learn lessons that you chose to experience before you incarnated, but the downside is that the illusion seems to grab hold of you by its seemingly powerful vision – a world of change, variety, enticements, and, of course, survival issues, and suffering – thus hiding from you or closing off your access to your true and divine nature. And that is why it is absolutely essential that you take the time daily to go within, to your holy inner sanctuary, where access to the spiritual realms, to your guides and mentors, and to your true Self are constantly available, when you quieten the flow of distracting thoughts and anxieties with which the illusion is endlessly presenting you.

Go within, every day, be at peace, and relax into the energy field of pure Love that envelops you.

As you have been told so often, Love is your nature, It is Reality, and you are, as you struggle with the vagaries of daily living, mostly unaware that this could be so, let alone aware that it is so. The essential daily visits, or pilgrimages you make to your inner sanctuary help you to break down the barriers or dissolve the veils that hide Reality from you. When you get glimpses of what is possible, absolutely possible because it is Reality, all that exists, you are uplifted, inspired, and encouraged to focus your attention on your spiritual calling – and you all have a spiritual calling, it is your reason and intent for being on Earth – which, by that very intention, eases your path through the illusion.

This will not necessarily happen physically, because many of the events or situations you encounter are lessons that you have chosen, waiting for you to encounter them and learn from them, but it will happen spiritually and emotionally by assisting you to accept, moment by moment, what life offers you in the knowing that nothing is accidental, that everything occurring has a divine purpose. What that purpose is, is frequently unclear, but if you just accept and deal with it – and, please, ask me, or your favorite saint or spiritual guide for assistance with whatever arises – you will find yourselves living more peacefully and more contentedly. Yes, even in what may appear to be the direst of circumstances, you can find peace and contentment.

Most of you have met people who, despite unenviable circumstances, are happy and contented, and who demonstrate an inspiring example of living powerfully and lovingly in the moment. You may have wondered why such a loving and indeed wonderful person should be in such an unfavorable situation? Well, maybe it is to show others how effective it is to surrender to the situation, whatever it may be, and trust in the field of Love that always envelops you, and then allow it to actually embrace you. If and when you do practice acceptance of the now moment, as it occurs, you will be amazed and uplifted.

Try it, that is what we in the spiritual realms are constantly encouraging you to do. It has to be done wholeheartedly, not grudgingly, resentfully – why on Earth is this happening to me – or with conditions – if this doesn’t work, then I’m done with acceptance! Acceptance of what is, has to be unconditional, in the same way that God’s Love and acceptance of everyone is unconditional.

Reality is unconditional! And that is because there is no need for conditions. In Reality, all is in perfect and utterly conflict-free harmony; any other state would be unreal. Just remind yourselves daily, regardless of how you feel emotionally and regardless of how dire your circumstances may be, that you are a beloved child of God, being taken supreme care of in every moment, and turn to Him with an open heart so that He may fill it with His Love for you. When you do this with faith, and with acceptance of life as it is flowing for you in this now moment, you will feel the Love, and you will be uplifted. A knowing will grow within you that you are, and never can be alone, because there is only the One, there is no separation. In that knowing, you can allow all doubts, all self-doubts, and all perceptions of unworthiness to fall away, to be replaced by a positive and powerful sense of self-acceptance in the absolute knowing that you are and always will be a beloved child of God.

As must be coming apparent, there is only LOVE! Anything that is not in alignment with Love is unreal, illusory, and may be freely released. When you take that step, peace and contentment replace doubts and anxieties. Trusting in God works! The problem is, most people do not trust, they expect that it will not work, and what you focus on – not totally trusting in God – is what you experience: distrust and disappointment. Call on me, at any time, and in any situation, and I will help you to trust.

Your loving brother, Jesus

Here in the heavenly realms, the state from which you seem to be so far removed, we are in celebratory mood as your awakening draws ever closer. I know you have heard this before, but words are extremely limiting and so we have to repeat ourselves very frequently to ensure that you “get” the message that we are charged with delivering to you. Namely, anything that is not of Love, of God, of Source, is unreal, of the illusion. You are Real, the illusion is not! But the illusion’s seeming reality constantly confuses you and leads you to make unwise or erratic choices that, in the moment that you make them, seems  appropriate. Then, when things do not work out as you had hoped, fear and anger arise.

Dreams, nightmares, and general illusory states of consciousness are the indicators pointing to the unreality of what you are experiencing as life as humans. That is why, when you come to awareness of the unsatisfactory nature of your lives, that you are drawn to seek real meaning in life; the lives most of you lead are not satisfying.

You were created to experience the Bliss of Union in every moment; and within the illusion, that most definitely is not what you do experience. So you seek meaning, but mostly within the ongoing dream where no answers can be found. We commune with you, when you quieten your busy minds and let us in, in order to offer you the guidance that will lead you Home. We are always here for you and we always hear your calls; but due to the many distractions with which the illusion presents you, constantly, it is frequently very difficult for you to hear us. That is why we keep emphasizing your need to enter the peace and quiet of your inner sanctuary every day to commune with us, your guides, angels, and spiritual mentors, so that we can assist you with your inevitable and imminent awakening. How long do you want to go on sleeping and missing all the joy that awaits your awakening?

For many of you, a quiet mind is an unacceptable condition, a condition that you need to correct by thinking. But it is only when you temporarily cease thinking that you are open to “hearing” us; that is, sensing and feeling the intuitive ideas that we suggest to you. It is those ideas that bring you peace, a sense of belonging, of divine purpose, enabling you to lay down your worries and anxieties and rest in the assurance of knowing that where you are is precisely where you are meant to be in this now moment.

And that relieves your stress and lowers your blood pressure. It is very good for you! When you allow yourselves to let go of stress inducing worries and anxieties, you move forwards towards your awakening; and be advised that you can no longer regress because the human collective has made the irreversible decision to awaken. That is why we are in a celebratory mood; well, hardly a mood! We are in a state of anticipatory celebration as we see what lies ahead for you.

So, please, make a determined effort daily to enter your holy inner sanctuary and call on us for assistance in your awakening process. THEN, just relax, allow all thoughts, worries, or anxieties to just fall away. You can do that, and we will help you. When you do, you allow God’s Love to suffuse you, bringing you into a state of unaccustomed peace and contentment in which you engage only with the now moment, the only moment there ever is.

It is in this “Now moment” that peace, joy, ecstasy, in fact eternal and infinite Love can be momentarily experienced; bringing into your awareness the wonders that await your awakening. Most of you are burdened with utterly invalid feelings of unworthiness and inadequacy that were inculcated into your personal belief systems when you were children, by those who were assisting you to grow from childhood to adulthood. And those caregivers were only passing on their own beliefs which they “knew,” from their own human life experiences, that you needed to accept and honor “for your own good and safety, earthly or eternal.”

They were, of course, misguided, but they were doing their best for you. Don’t judge or blame them; understand that they, in their limited understanding, were doing what they honestly believed was in your best interests. Just be aware that you were given invalid information with the best of intentions. Let it go, and forgive those who led you astray. They were, on the whole, acting from love.

Remember that within the illusion, where you are experiencing a very limited form of consciousness while living as humans, that the concept of love is severely misunderstood. It is thought that true love involves sacrifice and self-negation. This is most definitely not the case. You, every human without exception, is One with God, with Source, and therefore you are Love! So, being Love, it is your divine nature to LOVE Yourselves. When you love yourselves,  you are then in a position to love others. If you are taught to discount yourselves, as so many of you were, to refrain from loving yourselves, then, as long as you accept that insane belief, there is no way that you can possibly love another, because you have shut Love out of your lives, out of your hearts, hidden It behind the veil of the illusion. That was a free will choice you made as you entered the illusion; to prove to yourself that you had no need of Love. Insanity!

Love will flow through you to all with whom you interact in any way at all, and to Earth and all life forms, when you love and honor yourselves. When you don’t love and honor yourselves, love is blocked, leading to enormous unhappiness and suffering. Planet-wide, this has been the case for eons, but now, since the middle of the last century, this state of denial of love, in which sacrifice is demanded instead, has been in the process of being released, and signs of this are apparent everywhere.

Love conquers all. And Love, the Tsunami of Love, is opening every heart. Some are indeed resisting; but, as the “aliens” in one of your sci-fi movies stated so forcefully: “Resistance is Futile.” Humanity’s awakening into Love is divinely assured; all that you need do is go within, daily, and allow that Love to suffuse you totally.

Your loving brother, Jesus.
