Existence as a fully-conscious sentient being is a divine state; it is your natural state, and it is only when you chose to experience separation from your heavenly Father that you seemingly removed yourselves from this perfect state of existence. You have not departed from it, because there is nowhere to go that is outside of this state, you have just temporarily closed down your awareness of it while you play with the illusory state of separation, need, and lack. This game, which you seem to have been playing for eons, lasted but a moment before you returned to your fully-conscious state of existence where you are eternally. Nevertheless, you remain asleep and dreaming that you are still separated from God, and it is your task to awaken. It is a task that it is impossible for you to fail to complete perfectly and magnificently because it is God's Will and yours that you do so.
Awakening means letting go of attitudes and beliefs that cannot exist in a state of divine, unconditional Love – fear, anger, hate, judgment, resentment, condemnation, shame, worthlessness, in fact any attitudes that are not loving – because in that state there is only Love. All of you experiencing the illusion have feelings of abandonment, loss, shame, and fear for which you blame others, but because you were created by your Father in perfect, unconditional Love those feelings can only be mistaken illusions that you have chosen to experience. Because they are so frightening you project them outwards and see them as foisted on you by others, allowing you to feel helpless to change the situation.
As you move towards awakening you will begin to realize that the only satisfactory way to live is as a loving and peaceful presence, and you will start to release your negative attitudes, as awareness of your Father's eternal Love for you starts seeping into your consciousness, demonstrating that you are indeed a creation of divine Love and enabling you to begin truly loving yourself, instead of desperately seeking to be loved by others. This will lead to a great reduction in your stress levels and you will find yourself more and more at peace; and the realization will dawn on you that those who appear to be attacking you, judging you, and making you wrong are themselves suffering terribly and are also desperately seeking love and acceptance.
When this becomes apparent to you compassion for them, for all humanity, will arise within you. You will perceive that they, like you, are beings of divine Love, and your resentments and grudges will fall away, enabling and encouraging you to truly forgive them for their apparent attacks on you, as the Love within you, that envelops you and that is you, flows out to meld with that same Love that is within them and that envelops them.
Truly the joy that awaits you when you awaken into Reality to find yourselves in your Father's Presence and surrounded by uncountable other loving beings welcoming you into the brilliant Light of God's eternal day is beyond description. You are well established on the path to awakening, and although you may still make minor deviations away from it, the destination will soon be in view, and you will pick up your feet with excited anticipation as you race forward to reach it. And the welcome that awaits you will overwhelm you with happiness as you finally understand that all the painful efforts you have made to reach your divine destination are as nothing compared to the bliss in which you find yourselves.
With so very much love, Saul.
