"Saul, and many other channeled entities, from time to time use the word ‘soon’ to suggest that an occurrence or event is close. For us on the Earth Plane this usage becomes very unsatisfactory when nothing apparently happens. We cannot conceive of life without time, and the word ‘soon’ refers to something that will occur in time.

In the spiritual realms there is no time, there is only the eternal ‘now’. In spiritual terms everything that has, is, or will happen “in time” (the illusory Universe in which humanity apparently exists) is happening right now! Or, has already happened. I accept intellectually time is a concept humanity uses, but does not really exist (quantum physics). Nevertheless this is something I have great difficulty getting a handle on.

In the spiritual realms communication is instantaneous and precise without the need for words. Spiritual guides use words to communicate with us, because that is how we communicate, but words are only symbols we use to express ideas. Frequently we find them very inadequate for the purpose of transmitting ideas to others, but we have to make the best of them as they are all we have. Our spiritual guides have the same problem as they try to communicate with us.

Because everything is happening right now, ‘soon’ is the most appropriate word for our spiritual guides to use. When we move into full consciousness, as ‘soon’ we shall, it will all make perfect sense. But at present our ability to understand what is being communicated to us by our guides is severely limited. And they are attempting to transmit to us a concept of unimaginable wonder which has already happened. It is only in our illusory reality we are still waiting.

If we consider what has happened over the last two or three hundred years, and particularly in the last two or three decades, in this illusory reality of ours, we see enormous changes in the way we treat others, and in our increasing concern and compassion for those who are suffering. We truly are becoming less egoic. And it seems to me that the rate of change is accelerating. We are on the brink of something amazing, and many of us are sensing this and seeking confirmation and information, which is why our guides have become so prolific with their channelings to us.

It is us, each one of us, who has to make the move into full consciousness and leave behind the dream world in which we have chosen to live for so long. Deep within us, we know this, and our spiritual guides are doing their utmost to help us see this is so. The more aware we become, the more light we hold; and the light we hold attracts and awakens others in an exponential expansion of light, which is nothing less than the Infinite Love of God, our Creator, whose Divine Purpose is to awaken us all into the endless joy which is our heritage.

We will awaken into full consciousness suddenly and instantaneously. And I believe it will be SOON. But when that will be depends on our collective willingness to awaken. To many of us the idea of awakening is frightening, as we have bought into the idea of a judgmental and punishing God, and we feel totally unworthy to be anywhere near Him (I spent ten years in a Jesuit school, and I know unworthiness!).

But we are WRONG! He created us perfect, because everything He creates can only be perfect, like Himself.

There is NOTHING we can do to gain His Love, we already have it. We just need to stop avoiding it, and allow it to envelop us as He intends. SOON!  NOW. What does your intuition, your inner knowing tell you? In a few days . . . In a few months . . . Trying to put a date on it is meaningless. So live daily in excited expectation – like small children before their birthday or Christmas. And be awestruck as the dawn breaks."
