You are, however, aware of living consciously in the illusion, and therefore you must be alive, as consciousness demands it.  Being alive, you get to make choices, but frequently you make them without full awareness of what they mean or how you will actually experience them.  This can be very confusing — all of you have at times exclaimed "I never expected that to happen" — and the reason for this is that you see yourselves as separate, independent individuals.  You are almost completely unaware of the energy field in which you have your existence.  You are also unaware that each of you affects it continuously, and therefore everyone else as well.

We continually nudge you towards wakefulness by bringing to your attention coincidences and synchronicities that demonstrate to you that all is interconnected, that nothing is separate, even though it does not appear to you that this is so.  Most of the time you are skeptical and unaccepting of these incidents and convince yourselves they are just chance occurrences that are quite unrelated to each other and that have no meaning.  And yet you wonder . . . and find it hard to dismiss them out of hand.  So instead, you recount them to friends, but with an air of tolerant skepticism.  You want to believe in your divine destiny, although you would not label it that clearly, but you are afraid that you will be disappointed because in the illusion disappointment is endemic.  And so we keep on drawing to your attention evidence of your true nature — your unbreakable spiritual connection to God.

You are coming to realize that there is more to life than your physical existence in the illusion seems to suggest.  And this intrigues you and gives rise to hope because you desperately want this to be the case, for if it is not, and existence is as meaningless as it often appears to be, then your loneliness overwhelms you.  If you did not manage to distract yourselves from these depressing thoughts, despair would set in. We are with you to make sure that does not happen, and we shall continue to nudge you and bring to your attention events and occurrences that demonstrate to you that God, your loving Father, exists and wants you to experience the Love in which He embraces you and the absolute bliss that awareness of that Love will bring you.  You are going to awaken; there will be no disappointment, because your destiny has been assured since the moment of your creation, and all that you have hoped and prayed for will enfold you, dissolving the illusion permanently.
