Your divine perfection has never been
compromised
by John Sm-llman
To awaken is to know yourselves as you
truly are divine beings of ineffable wonder and value,
utterly perfect, one with each other and with G-d. When
you relax, p-ay, or meditate, allow yourselves to access
your knowledge of this, which is eternally true, by opening
your hearts to the d-vine field of unconditional Love which
always surrounds you, waiting for you to invite It to
embrace you. When you do, your worries and anxieties
will fall away as you experience the warm glow in which
It enfolds you, and you will know without the slightest
shadow of doubt that all is di-inely taken care of, and that
your awakening is inevitable because it is the divi-e Will,
your Father's Will for you.

Your awakening is a process that
involves you opening your awareness, your consciousness
to that inner knowing which has always been with you,
although hidden from your view by the distractions of
the illusion f-ar, anger, resentment, judgment, blame,
condemnation - which so often occupy your usual thinking
routines. It is those distractions, those unloving attitudes
and behaviors that you are at present working to release
so that you can welcome Go-'s Love into your hearts.
But those unloving attitudes, while you maintain them by
feeling quite justified in honoring and acknowledging
them, prevent you from fully opening to Love. So it is
imperative that you release them, and when you do, it will
be analogous to having a garage sale, disposing of loads of
no-longer-useful items, and freeing up space for what you
truly need and desire.

But, of course, much of what you are
reluctant to release has been with you for a very long time,
and you have a sense of loyalty to it because you think it has
served you well by protecting you from the unjustified
attacks of others who lack the integrity and honesty that
you believe you bring to every situation . . . well, practically
every situation. Occasionally, you may have been a little
bit indiscreet, but always, of course, with complete
justification!

To change attitudes can be very difficult
because you do go to great lengths to convince yourselves
that you think and behave fairly and reasonably. Nevertheless,
all of you know that there have been times when you
allowed your standards to slip, and you would prefer to
dismiss those occasions as momentary aberrations, as
times when you were perhaps misled and you judged too
quickly. The fact that you want to dismiss those moments
or deny them is what ties you to them. Until you
acknowledge them you cannot release them.

Truly they are not unacceptable examples of
what you might think of as inadequacies, but, nevertheless,
you may well not wish to look at them because to do so
offends your self-esteem. Humans make errors - no, all
humans make errors - because within the illusion it is
almost impossible for you to perceive or think clearly. Being
human severely limits you because that was your intention
when you built and entered the illusion. Its only truth is
that it is illusory.

Your di-ine perfection has never been
compromised because nothing can damage, interfere with,
or even threaten -od;s div-ne Reality, of which every one of
you is an essential part. But because your belief in the
illusion and all that it seems to encompass is so strong, to
admit to some of your more egregious errors is very painful
for you, and so you lock them down beneath the level of
your conscious awareness where they fester and foster
a sense of shame.

Let go of that needless sense of shame
and look at the situations or events that led to it. Allow
yourselves to remember that nothing real has ever
happened in the illusion, and that what you are hiding
from is therefore unreal. G-d has never judged you and
never will - because you are eternally at peace with Him
and in Him. Forgive yourselves for your imaginary
transgressions, truly forgive yourselves, and then you will
easily forgive all those who have hurt or offended you,
and it will feel as though a great weight has been lifted
off your shoulders.

When you allow that to happen - and
when you choose to do so is entirely up to you - compassion
for all will flood into your awareness and you will understand
that Love is the only need that you, that humanity has, and
you will understand that you already have It, that you
have always had It, and that nothing can alter that divi-e
truth. And you will move closer to the moment of your
awakening.

Your loving brother, J--us.


You need further strong reminders to just
let go!

You are on your path, you are divin-ly and
dearly loved, and yet many of you are having difficulty
releasing old and unloving attitudes, desires, and behaviors
and so you need further strong reminders to just let go!

As the moment for your grand awakening
approaches, very rapidly, it is necessary in fact, it is vital
that people understand that they must let go of unlovingness
in any form, because to hold on to anything that is unloving
just locks them into the illusion. Reality would be an
unbearable experience for anyone who is holding on to
unloving thought-forms, desires, or attitudes. Holding on
to them is a choice not to awaken and therefore, for those
who do, to a waken is impossible.

What this means is that they strongly desire
restitution for wrongs done to them, and to see the
wrongdoers judged, condemned, and punished. But what
this truly indicates is a projection of their own sense of guilt
and unworthiness on to others, in whom they see what they
hate and despise in themselves. It is purely a call for love,
and nothing else.

Within the illusion it is quite normal to
experience
unloving thoughts - they just pop into your awareness and that
is not an issue or a problem if you let them pass on. The problems
occur when you engage with those thought forms, make them part
of your belief system, and take upon yourselves the intent, the
desire, and the responsibility to bring others to justice, and call
on them to account to you for their behavior.

The path to Love is found through forgiveness.
First, forgiveness of self, then of others. If you remain unforgiven,
you are unable to forgive others. Whether others forgive you or
not is immaterial. When you come to understand that you are
di-ine beings infinitely loved by Go-, you will forgive and accept
yourselves just as you are, and you will then realize that there
is nothing which you need to forgive in yourselves, or in others.
You will truly see others attacks on you as desperate calls for
love. Your need to forgive them let alone judge them will
dissolve, and you will find yourselves wanting only to offer
them love, compassion, and acceptance.

If you focus on the wrongs done to you or
on the suffering that you are undergoing, you effectively
close yourself off from the divine field of Love that surrounds
you always. When you shut yourselves off from that Love
field, healing is impossible because the only thing that
truly heals is Love. And so your pains and troubles just
grow and fester, causing you further suffering.

Many of you feel a desperate need to be
loved and cherished by someone else to prove that you are
lovable. That will never happen, because no one else can
ever satisfy that need, and if you persist in chasing that
ideal one you will be repeatedly disappointed. You were
all created perfect by your divi-e Father, so sit quietly
and ask Him to help you to see this, ignoring all other
thoughts that come into your minds as best as you can.
However, what often happens when you try to do this, is
that thoughts of others who have hurt you do come to
mind and you engage in the victim role "Dear Go-, why
do people treat me so badly, unfairly, nastily, thoughtlessly,
sneakily?" - and instead of opening your hearts in pure
acceptance of the Love that is constantly on offer, you
seek for someone -od to listen to your litany of
complaints!

When you can open yourselves fully to
accept your Father's Love in every moment, you will
find that the opinions, words, and actions of others,
which would previously have upset you, no longer have
the same effect, and you will begin to see that they
too are in pain and seeking only Love. Your behavior
will change, your energy field will become peaceful and
welcoming, and you will find that you experience attacks
against you far less frequently. Love truly is the
solution to every problem. Not romantic love, not
infatuation with a dream of the perfect soul-mate, but
acceptance of yourselves as divi-e beings of Love,
infinitely and eternally loved by -od. That is the truth
of who you are, and realization of this comes only
from within you and from nowhere else.

Most of your earthly cultures teach
you to seek the approval of others in order to validate
yourselves. But no one ever appears perfect to anyone
else; your egos ensure that! If you buy into that belief,
and most do, it makes life unhealthily difficult for you
as you compete with one another for acceptance,
honor, and rewards. And everyone loses! Even the
apparently most successful game players are always
striving for more, and live in fear of being beaten or
passed over.

Peace and happiness come from the
sense of self-acceptance and self-respect which result
from your realization that you are perfect, that the path
on which you find yourselves is the one that you chose,
and that everything is just as it should be. And that is
truly how it is. Do not be bludgeoned into accepting
the beliefs that others would impose on you - they are
only doing that in order to convince themselves of the
validity of those beliefs. If you have to convince others in
order to convince yourselves, then you are misleading
yourselves and are heading for further disappointments.
If that is your experience, just remind yourselves,
Peace and happiness come from within.

Your loving brother --sus.
