John’s audio reading is available here.

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 seem 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. Planetwide 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.

I talk about “choosing love over fear” a lot.

In fact, these words make up one of my favorite daily mantras: I choose to let love in and fear out.

It wasn’t always like this though. Before I was ready to dig deep and really look at (or even be aware of) how my inner world shaped my outer world, I would have thought you were a little nutty, if you told me to “choose love over fear.”

Today, however, choosing love over fear is an integral (grounding) part of my day on a moment-to-moment basis – in all areas of my life – finances, relationships, business, self-kindness …

In truth, choosing love over fear is a key part in all of our lives, to feel centered, grounded, and peaceful. We just don’t always realize it, as we get off-track, stop tuning-in, or feel like we’re not worthy enough to do it.

You are.

And once you start choosing love over fear, I promise your world will become infinitely more safe, loving, and open, so you can in fact, do what your heart most desires and grow more into your person. All it takes is an open heart, a willing mind, and the desire to feel more love.

So – what does choosing love over fear mean?

Choosing love over fear means:

1. You choose to stop beating yourself up, accept that you too are human, and show yourself compassion.

2. You choose to accept your struggles as opportunities for growth and change.

3. You choose to see all people through a lens of compassion and yes, even the ones who treat you poorly (they’re going through their own stuff … nothing to do with you!).

4. You choose to forgive yourself and others, so you can let the past go, cut the chords, and finally be able to do what you need to do in the present to thrive.

5. You choose to start appreciating your body (instead of bashing it),and that very respect allows you to do what’s right for you and your body daily.

6. You choose to not let others determine your worth.

7. You choose to savor your moments and be grateful for all that you have (even if you want more). Note: it is this very mindset that will get you more.

8. You choose to let the beliefs, thoughts, and ideas that are no longer serving you go.

9. You choose to set loving boundaries, so you can feel important too (and not like a doormat).

10. You choose to honor the present moment, by showing up the best you can for where you are in that moment.

11. You choose to speak your truth and ask for what you need, so you can live freely, fully, and honestly.

12. You choose to see your possible.

13. You choose to remember that feelings are just feelings and that they too will pass.

14. You choose to show your loved ones love.

15. You choose to not let what you labeled yourself as prevent youfrom becoming who you want to grow into.

Most importantly, you choose you every time, so you can show up for yourself and others. Because you absolutely have the power to achieve anything you want to achieve. You just need to get your intentions inline with your actions. And once you start doing that, you will create an energy shift that will propel you along your journey.

What does this take?

It takes consciousness. It requires you to show up, each and every single day and to do the work. To be awake. To do your very best with where you are right now and to love, honor, and accept that and to have faith (even when you think you can’t anymore) that yes, you still can.

And with your honest intentions, inner work, and constant choosing of love over fear, you will get there. And maybe that “there” will change for you along your journey, but eventually wherever “there” takes you will be exactly where you need to be. And once you really start to delve in, you’ll realize that you’re already “there,” you just have more work to do (like all of us).

Is this always easy?

Absolutely not.

I still struggle. And that’s okay. I know that it’s a moment-to-moment every day kind of thing that requires us to consistently show up. We learn the most about ourselves and push ourselves to grow when we go through bumps along the road.

The thing is when we choose love over fear the road is smoother, faith keeps us going, and we choose to see our pain, discomfort, and struggles through a lens of light, love, and growth instead of darkness, fear, and staying stuck.

And this is important: when you can’t shift your mindset, go actively do something.

Don’t get stuck in your head (that’s the worst feeling … and just your fear talking). So drop it, let it go for now, take a few deep breaths and do!

Go for a walk, take the dogs on a hike, swim, read a mindlessly delicious book, call a friend who always brightens your spirits, knit – whatever it is, go do something that gets you out of your head and brightens your spirit.

You do not have to stay stuck.

Remember, when you can’t choose, DO!!!

Change your space, move your body, get out of your head and ever so gently remind yourself that this is just a feeling, it will pass, and even though it sucks right now, you will grow from it.

Whatever it is, it’s showing up to teach you something.

So, take the lesson. Expand. Move forward.

Because when you do that, that’s choosing love over fear right there.
