Message 13: August 23, 2020

My dear children, I come to you today with a message about peace.  That is the truth.  Peace is not what you think it is – the absence of conflict within yourself, or among your people.  Peace is much, much more profound than that.

Peace, my precious ones, is what is left when everything else is stripped away.  The vanities, goals, ambitions, struggles, conflicts and desires – what makes you You – stand in the way of peace.  And that is as it should be, for peace is a state of inaction, of rest, of clarity; peace impedes movement whereas the other aspects I have mentioned facilitate it.

And so you exist, my precious ones, in a state of constant motion, darting to and fro; and when your bodies are at rest, your emotions do not sit still, dragging your minds along with them.  The churning of your mental, emotional and physical selves continues day and night, giving you no rest, no respite from activity.  It drains you and pulls you along, to be drained again and again and again as the waves of life buffet the little boat you are navigating the seas of life in.

This produces much that is admirable and worthy; you become Captains, my dear ones – expert navigators under extreme duress, finding your way to the Light through thick fogs and heavy downpours, night and day.  But you grow weary, my beloved ones.  And this is where I want to meet you today: in your darkness, weariness and maybe even desperation.

Step off the boat!  That is the truth, my beloved children.

There is land on all sides of it, invisible underneath the illusion of heavy and dark waves menacing your survival.

There is solid, heavy, sturdy land literally one step away from where you are.  It is always there and has always been.  It awaits simply your choice to step onto it, and let the storm rage on around you while you are on solid ground.  That is the truth, my dear ones.

What am I talking about, you may be wondering?  There are bills to be paid and mouths to be fed, chores to be done, bosses to appease, politics to debate.  People are dying, starving, sick.

All of that is true – and all the more reason why you need to step off the boat onto solid ground, my dear ones.  Without that, you will be lost.  That is the truth.  Bogged down by the suffering around you and within you, worn out an depleted.  Joyless and overwhelmed.

Step off the boat into my waiting arms, dear children.  Here is how you do it.

Close your eyes.  Focus on your breath.  Relax your muscles, just a bit.  Inhale. Pause. Then let go, that is the truth – with the exhaling breath, release in your mind, your muscles, your emotions any and all of the tension that you can.  Do not worry whether or not you are doing it correctly; just doing it is enough.

Then, consider Me.  I am right here with you, holding the boat, and the waves, and you in my arms, at all times – every single fraction of every moment of your life I am there with you.  That is the truth and do not doubt it; I hold you in your sufferings and your joys, equally.  I AM the solid land you can stand on, firmly.  Trust in me, and let go of the oars.  Ask me for help, for guidance, for mercy.  Ask me for peace.

The key message, my dear ones, is this: no matter what the travails are that you are going through, I am there with you, waiting to help when asked.

That is all for today, my dear children.  I trust that this message will give you hope; I will continue it next time through my trusty scribe.

He is asking in all sincerity that, reading this, you do not mistake my words for his – and conclude, mistakenly, that you should trust him or rely on him.  He reminds you that he is only a scribe, a human being like yourselves, and not to be worshipped or depended on more than literally any other human being would be; and that the words that he types are not his words and are not about him.

In this, I second his thoughts fully.  I am here for you, and always will be.  Adonai.
