John’s audio reading is available here.

Me: Good evening Dear Jesus. Thank you very much for your last message, what do you have for me tonight?

Jesus: And a very good evening to you as well, John. Change is in the air, can’t you feel it?

Me: I’m not very good at feeling! So, I’m hopeful, because of what others are saying, and I have a sense that “all manner of things will be well.” And then I read the mainstream media and learn about all the suffering – floods and mudslides in the Philippines, destruction of homes and families in Syria, thousands of migrants making their way to Europe in desperation – on and on.

I send love, I think I intend, but it all seems so hopeless as those “in charge” seem set on military responses to these ongoing “problems,” problems from which they are very securely separated! Yes, they talk of humanitarian responses, but they only seem to be able to conceive of military might to contain and control the frightful situations for which it would seem they are largely responsible. And how many thousands of times has that been unsuccessfully tried? As the song goes “When will they ever learn?”

Jesus: Yes, the mainstream media reports are not encouraging. But underneath and behind the scenes much is happening that will bring essential changes for the benefit of all. Keep on intending to send love to all – not only to those who are suffering but also to sadistic and violent criminals and dictators – because all are being seriously influenced by the Tsunami of Love that has enveloped the planet since late in 2012, and the divine plan is for all awaken.

God is not complete without even one of His children. There is not one that He does not Love infinitely and eternally. Some are just more confused and seemingly separated from His Love than most.

Seek the good news that the alternate media are reporting, there is a LOT of it! Then relax into your inner self, your own personal altar, tabernacle, or sanctuary, and be Love! That is your true nature, and if you intend to operate through It instead of through your ego your intentions are extraordinarily effective.

Love is All, engage with It and change not only yourself, but also the world. Enormous numbers of you are doing that and it truly is extremely effective. KNOW that the intent of the collective has changed from fear and doubt to hope and optimism, and that that intent is strengthening in every moment. There is Light ahead, so focus your vision there as you move into It.

As I, and many others, keep telling you, you are not alone, abandoned, adrift in an ocean of danger and despair. You are just momentarily asleep and dreaming, sometimes horrific dreams, but, nevertheless, you are close to your inevitable awakening. The dream has lasted far longer than you intended when you chose to experience separation from our divine Source, and it is drawing to a close.

Deep within yourselves, but mostly hidden from you because of your frequent choices to be unloving and self-centered, you know that the lives you are experiencing in the illusory world you built are unreal, despite the pain they have caused you. That pain, like time, like the illusion, is unreal, and when you awaken it will be as though it never happened . . . because, in truth, it never did!

You are all the divine and beloved children of God, created in Love for eternal joy, and nothing has or ever can change that because there is nowhere except the Presence of God, Heaven, your eternal Home, where you reside permanently and without interruption. When you awaken it will be as though you had never left, because you never have.

That is very hard for you to conceive of, let alone believe, as you wander, seemingly lost, within the intimidating and frightening maze that is the illusion that you built with such skill. You have incredible skills, you just used them rather unwisely when you built the illusion, but illusions, by their very nature, do not last. They fade away, and all that occurred within them is quickly forgotten, because what is unreal cannot be remembered for more than a very brief moment.

You will barely have time to think “isn’t this amazing, and wasn’t that utterly insane, how could we have believed it was true?” as you awaken into Reality, and the joy and wonder with which It presents you, and all that was the illusion rapidly dissolves and is totally forgotten, because you do not need memories, especially ones like these, in the eternal now.

Go daily within, seek the peace that that holy place provides, make a point of rejoicing because you are soon (that unfortunate and much misunderstood word comes up yet again!) to awaken into the brilliant Light of God’s divine Presence and know It once more as your eternal Home.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Everything happening to us at the present moment is brand new.

And everything we do here has a significance probably beyond our imagining.

Everything we used to know has changed and we’re obliged to learn anew. I can give a personal example.

Recently I had two profound spiritual experiences – one of complete stillness of mind and another of the kundalini completing itself at the seventh chakra.

In olden days, they would have brought an experience of God-Realization (Brahmajnana, kevalya nirvikalpa samadhi). But in AAM’s hands, they were toned down (for instance, there was no bliss) and equaled no more than what he called a system reboot.

I was curious and said to him:

Steve: Hmm, interesting! Ordinarily you would experience Brahmajnana at that point but I felt that it had been muted, toned down.

AAM: Completely toned down. We want you very physically present. (1)

In his further explanation, AAM said: “What you are seeing or what you are referring to [in our discussion of enlightenment], can we suggest, is some old patterning, not incorrect patterning, but patterning that has shifted and expanded.” (2)

AAM’s comments are mirrored in St. Germaine’s remark to Suzi Maresca that “all the rules have changed.” (3) Processes that would have resulted in profound states of enlightenment now may simply result in a personal clearing or a resetting of our system’s machinery.

Brahmajnana (God-Realization) as a fully-experienced state for the mass of the population does not come until 2017 and Sahaja Samadhi (the natural state, what Ascension truly means) comes shortly after that. (4) Such processes as enlightenment are being re-tuned to meet the needs of a first-time, mass, and physical Ascension.

The Divine Mother said to me on An Hour with an Angel: “This is unique. It is a new creation. Can you imagine, my son, in all this expanse, that this is new?” (5) I had to admit to myself that I had trouble imagining the implications of such a statement.

In what ways is it new? Jesus summarized them.

“Your forthcoming human awakening or Ascension is different because it will be a mass awakening in which you retain your bodies which are then restored to full vitality and perfection, with an age or physical appearance and abilities appropriate to it that suits your wishes.” (6)

Archangel Michael explained that “this experiment in transitioning to the higher dimensions while within the hue-man body … has never been accomplished before. You are all the pioneers of this ascension experiment.” (7) And they are the pioneers as well, probably fine-tuning as we go along.

Like the Divine Mother, AAM asked us: “Do you know, my family, how rare something new is throughout the multiverse? It is rare and it is precious. And therefore it is being very carefully monitored.” (8)

“Anastara,” the guide of one of our editors, tried to awaken us on this subject by telling us the long-long-range impact of our Ascension:

“So, is it audacious? Yes. … There will come a time when the evolution, not only of Gaia, but of this universe has migrated back to the One and then will be reborn again, but it will be reborn in a different octave and in a different way because of what has happened and what is taking place on this planet at this time. It is more phenomenal than many realize.” (9)

Tomorrow I’d like to look at another way in which our process of Ascension is different: It’s evolutionary process is additive rather than subtractive.

(4) Steve Beckow: Matthew seemed to imply [that Ascension] was going to happen in 2017. That is not the case, right?

Archangel Michael: That will be what you can think of as phase two, when the full awareness is anchored within everybody.

SB: So, now, the full awareness is Sahaja Samadhi.

AAM: Well, it won’t be that extreme. But it will be what you think of as your golden age. Whatever we learn, however we do it, will prove to be a template for the rest of the universe. Ascensions will happen after ours like dominoes.

SB: Right. Is it an enlightenment…

AAM: Yes.

SB: So is it Brahmajnana?

AAM: Yes.

SB: Oh! 2017 will be Brahmajnana. When will sahaja occur?

AAM: Shortly thereafter. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Sept. 28, 2014.)
