…this journey you call “life” and I have called “life” is not simply a matter of getting through. Oh, no! It is a matter of love, it is a matter of joy, it is a matter of compassion.
This beautiful gem is lovingly shared by Tom from his personal reading with Linda Dillon, May 6, 2020.
Jesus Sananda ~ This Journey Called Life
Greetings, I am Jesus Sananda, I am Jesus, I am Yeshua, beloved brother – beloved brother of magenta, magenta and blue, with heart of eternal emerald.
Yes, I stepped before your beloved M – and my beloved M, by the way, for there is no sweeter angel than this one – but I wished to come to take your hand, to touch your shoulder, to embrace you, to reassure you, to encourage you, to fortify you so that you fully understand that you do not walk alone.
Oh yes, you say you know this, and intellectually and spiritually you do, but you do not know the fullness of it. I do not say this, beloved friend, in ways of criticism, quite the contrary. I say this because I want you to know how fully accompanied, in and out of form, you truly are and that this journey you call “life” and I have called “life” is not simply a matter of getting through. Oh, no! It is a matter of love, it is a matter of joy, it is a matter of compassion.
You have mentioned to the channel how you have begun, sweet one, to very… might I say ‘narrowly’… give yourself permission to simply be – to play with the trains, (1) to gaze at the sky, or even to navel-gaze.
You know, I have spoken a great deal, yes, through this channel and through other channels, about how, when I have walked the Earth as man, I have chosen not simply or merely to retreat one time for 40 days into the desert, but that I did this repeatedly, and that it was absolutely necessary for my journey and for the journey of humanity and for what I came to do – and continue to do, by the way – with this collective. Now you are about to retreat into the wilderness, into the place of isolation, and let me say this blessed sweet isolation.
I loved and I continue to love my family for they were a gift, and are a gift, for we continue on in many different ways together. And it is funny – even before I talk about retreat – how, so often in reference to my life as Jesus, there is talk of family and friends and teaching, but one of the greatest gifts I had with my family and friends was laughter and play!
Nothing raises the frequency more quickly, more rapidly and more fully than play, than laughter, than sweet laughter by children. And, as you well know, there is nothing better than children. They can be your own or grandchildren or those of friends, or simply watching at the store. There is nothing sweeter than watching children at play and engaging with them in this simplicity of being engaged and in the joy – not because of complexity, nor just the simplicity, but because of the purity.
I have so much I would wish to speak to you about but let me continue about the retreat. It is your time not merely to reflect but to play – and in the beauty, the wilderness, and the wildness of both your own sacred self and of Gaia, to rediscover that purity.
So many human beings think that joy is not only illusive but that it is somehow complex, and yet, in truth, joy is perhaps one of the clearest, simplest, purest energies. It is sheer golden, pure sheer energy, and it can literally be inhaled.
And it can be inhaled quickly and rapidly when you are not distracted, when your mind is not always meandering – and when you allow yourself truly to be in the infinite eternal moment, because that infinite eternal moment is not just filled with love; it is filled with joy.
Now, also, before I step aside for your sweet M, I wish to talk to you about compassion because this is one of the primary Divine Qualities not only that you carry but that you are. It is not a heavy burden. In fact, within compassion there is the perfect ability to find balance and to be able to deeply, profoundly, infinitely connect on a heart-to-heart, feel-to-feel level, and to know, to support, to encourage another, but not assume.
But what I wish to speak to you of is the growing compassion for yourself. Is there a need for great compassion during this time of transition? Yes, there most certainly is. For those that have been distracted or lost their way, forgotten, detoured, yes, compassion is the key. There is no life without compassion.
But what I am asking you my brother, my friend, my ally, my boots on the ground – what I ask of you is to have compassion with and for your sweet, beloved, gentle, strong self. Let go. Give it to me. Give it to our Mother. Let go of these harsh opinions. I will not use the word ‘judgments’ but certainly you have some very strong opinions, yes, certainly about the outside world, but I am talking about yourself.
You are exactly where you have need to be. And yes, we and I – I – am taking you, sweet one, on retreat – not to pray for forgiveness for your sins but to play, to talk to the trees and the water and the dirt and the sky, and to your sacred self – to give so and to fully, fully receive the messages of love that I give you each and every day.
I would be remiss if I did not tell you how proud I am of you that you have come during this period of one of the most difficult times, perhaps the most difficult time, upon this planet and far beyond to re-anchor my messages of love and your messages of love – and not just to transmit it as a message but to fully embrace and embody it, because love is not a distant cousin but the essence of who you are. And as you allow that, as you embrace that, my beloved friend, you are embracing me and I am embracing you.
You are so loved. Go in peace. I step aside. Farewell.

Accepting Risks in the Context of a Full, Fulfilling Life
Of course there is a lot to fear in our lives, in this world.
And those scarier areas can easily pull us in, as if they are the only thing going on.
Fear, risk, potential loss of life can be utterly riveting. Because life is so precious, such a treasure. Not because of what you do, but because you are, you.
A life, in total, is filled with risks and pitfalls that never materialized.
That doesn’t mean don’t pay attention to risks. But it may mean that you are discounting your inherent life-sustaining forces and flows, as if your resilience, to live, doesn’t matter?
Your resilience is the essence, of matter, within the life, of each of us. Live.
Accept risks and manage them as you are led.
Embrace life, and all that it can be, when you give your attention to what is resilient, what is real, what is alive, now.
Set you. Free. And live. The life you Are.
Sending you my love, hugs and blessings for a fulfilling journey, here,
Jill

When I was 16, I found out my girlfriend was pregnant.
I will never forget how it felt to get the news. We decided we would look at the pregnancy test together and, sure enough, it was positive. I’d never been more terrified. I crossed a line I had no business being anywhere near, and there were real consequences.
I was an immature teenager who didn’t know the first thing about parenting or the real world, and I was going to be a father. How would we tell our parents? What would the kids at school think? I can’t recall another time that I felt so lost and unprepared for what was happening.
We made our first prenatal appointment without our parents’ knowledge, hoping the doctor’s test would come back negative and we could avoid telling them about this little scare. We got a ride to the appointment from a friend, only to run into someone in my family who happened to work at that doctor’s office as a nurse.
You’ll never guess the patient she was assigned to.
I can still remember hearing my girlfriend’s name called, then hearing, “WESLEY!” I looked up to see my sister-in-law standing there holding a clipboard. I was busted. She took us back to a room where we told her everything. Then, she administered the test that confirmed the pregnancy.
After that, we knew it was time to come clean. We were having a baby, and we couldn’t hide it for long. We had to own up to it and prepare for our new life as young parents.
At first, I only had the courage to tell an older brother, who told my parents, who then gave me the chance to confess. That was an emotional night, but given the circumstances, my parents were as calm and rational as they could be. This was new territory for us all, and they knew I was just as freaked out as them.
I had to confront some tough questions. Can my girlfriend and I build this kind of life together? Am I ready to work to support a family? Am I prepared to sacrifice my social life to take care of a baby? I would have to grow up a lot faster than I expected.
It didn’t help that I was a scared, selfish kid with a bad attitude dealing with something on a scale I couldn’t fathom. Between lashing out and being generally combative, I caused a lot of drama and upset a few people.
It was childish, but my drama paled in comparison to the medical problems that plagued my girlfriend’s pregnancy. Especially for a teenager (she was also 16), her pregnancy was rough.
At 29 weeks, our son was diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Basically, he was having problems growing. The pregnancy was considered high-risk, and at one point, doctors suspected my girlfriend had preeclampsia – a common condition in pregnant women that can cause high blood pressure.
The baby’s condition didn’t improve much over time. At 32 weeks, we found out he wasn’t taking enough “practice breaths”, an indication his lungs were not growing properly.
We were sent to a hospital with doctors more qualified to treat this problem, and their solution was to administer two separate steroid shots 24 hours apart. The shots were, of course, meant to help his lungs grow. They worked, but it only bought us a little more time.
Out of necessity, our appointments then increased to two-three a week. This meant we were constantly driving back and forth from the city the hospital is in.
It was a stressful time – not least of all on our parents, who were working every day and taking us to these appointments. I was incapable of grasping the seriousness of the situation; all I could do was show up at the appointments and hope for the best.
At 36 weeks, the doctors discovered the baby was not getting enough blood flow to his umbilical cord. Along with his other IUGR-related problems, this left us with one option: induced premature birth. It was our best chance, but it was not a guarantee things would be alright.
I was visiting with some friends who came to the hospital to see us when I found out the baby was about to arrive. We had waited all night and all day, but even though I only stepped away momentarily, things were in full swing by the time I returned.
Before I knew it, I was holding my girlfriend’s hand as she brought our son into the world.
I have never since felt the rush of love that washed over me when I saw his little face for the first time. After all those months we spent waiting for his arrival and being terrified something would go wrong, he was here, staring up at us. For the most part, he was healthy.
Our preemie baby on the night he was born.
There is a difference between seeing an ultrasound image of your baby and meeting him or her for the first time. For me, at that moment, it became real. I helped make a life. This child will rely on me to show him how to survive in this world. It was time to step up, and I was ready.
Our son wasn’t quite out of the woods after he was born. His trouble growing, premature birth, and unstable body temperature meant he would have to spend nearly two weeks in an incubator. Since he was also underweight, he required a feeding tube through his nose.
Our baby in the incubator in which he spent nearly two weeks.
Making the trip to the hospital to see our baby every day was… not easy. We lived outside of the city, which meant we had to drive up there from town continuously. We were used to going up there often, but after he was born, we were there every day until he got to come home two weeks later.
After seeing him in the incubator for all that time and wondering when this extended hospital stay would end, it was incredibly relieving to get to strap him into his car seat and bring him home. Finally, after all the complications, we could start the next phase of this journey together as a family.
At times, we felt like we would never get to leave that hospital. But we had faith in the doctors and nurses, who were amazing every step of the way.
One reason I share this story is to point out that medical professionals are just the best. Back then, they were the heroes who brought my son safely into the world and continued to help him grow after he was born. Now, they are sacrificing their health to keep the rest of us safe during this pandemic.
We are lucky to have these selfless people on the front lines every day – not just during a time when more of us notice their sacrifice, but all the time. We should be grateful to live in an age of advanced medical care and professionals who are devoted to saving lives.
At countless times throughout this journey, bad things happened that made us worry the baby would not be okay. My girlfriend and I were given so much more adversity than we thought we could handle, and the stress our families had to endure was painful.
It was a dramatic time in my life. Looking back, I could have easily sunk into depression or hopelessness. Those destructive feelings were present quite often, but despite how terrifying the whole ordeal was, we persevered.
After our son was born, we lived with my girlfriend’s mother in her basement. I had no job, no direction, and no idea where to start.
Now, ten years later, I have two jobs and a definite plan for my life. My girlfriend is now my wife, and our baby is an active 10-year-old with a big imagination. We own a home, and I get to write cool stuff like this for a living.
If I hadn’t become a parent at a young age – which I would not otherwise recommend – things could have turned out much worse for me.
I began this journey as a clueless kid, but I turned my life around to become a proud father, husband, and homeowner with a moderately successful writing/blogging “career” and another job to make ends meet. I’m no perfect example of success, but I have a good life.
If I was able to build a decent existence from a seemingly bad situation, there is no doubt you can too. It might not be the life you planned, but it will be exactly what was meant for you.
To anyone who is anxious or struggling with some unimaginable changes in your life: please don’t give up hope. Keep going, keep learning from your mistakes, and keep evolving. If you persevere, then in time, doors will open where there were none before.
There is a power that responds when you make a consistent effort to improve your life. It’s as if you activate some force that connects you with people and opportunities you would have otherwise missed.
Call it what you want – the universe, the law of attraction, the higher self – if you’re serious about improving yourself, it will support you.
However hopeless it can feel to live in this world, your future is in your hands. You can let all the bad stuff weigh you down, or you can use your short time here to pursue meaningful things and live a good life with the people you love.
I recommend the latter, as it has made my time here so much more worthwhile.
Peace!

I am Archangel Michael and I have a message for all upon Planet Earth.
You are repressing your godliness.
For those who live in your day to day lives, never looking beyond the end of the day, never looking outside of your normal life, what you call normal, your entire demeanor and the flurry of activity is indeed a tool to repress. You don’t realize this, of course, because this is all you’ve been taught. But it’s true. You never stop to question if this is what you really want to do, who you really want to be, or if this in fact is what you have decided to be in this incarnation.
Do you ever ask yourself this? Questioning life is more important than thinking you have all the answers. It’s not your job to provide your answers, that is the task of those ordained as your guides, your healers and your celestial truth bringers. The team of Light who work with you are there to tell you what you need to know, what it is in fact that you’ve come here to do. That is not your job, or the job of your authorities to tell you.
Your life has been hijacked. It has, and it remains as a sad, worn out train on a sad, worn out set of tracks, going around in circles. The new high speed trains with their silvery bodies and gold trim, flash by you as you get through your life with so little power and so little speed.
Your world is a holy place. Yes, see it as such. See it as holy. This could be a challenge when you persist in looking at it through the same glasses you have used all your life. Shed these glasses and find new ones that show you the reality of what is occurring in the lives of all. You are all beings of holiness, divine beings who came to this planet to lift her up again to the heavens. But to be able to do this, you must see yourself as capable of it. And you are.
I say that your lives are repressive. They are. When you repress your true reality, you do not ask questions, in fact you have been enabled to believe you have all the answers. Do you? Do you know what lies beyond your sun? Have you ever looked? Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever asked the question, “Who really am I?” “Why am I here?” “What am I here to do?” These questions will lead you to your truth.
Do you see the divinity in all of life around you? Do you see the happiness of a dog when she greets you, the smell of the ocean as its waves break upon the shore, do you see the bounty of colour in a fall mountain scene, do you see the beauty of the star lit sky at night time when you look? This is God. This is Creation. And yet you persist in not seeing the bounty of creation within yourselves and within the others around you. You see them as different. That humans are different from creation; they are not. They are the creators. You created this beautiful reality which you call Mother Earth. She is of you and you are of her.
See yourself as one with the heavens, the earth and the skies. Let your heart open to realize your divineness. Understand that you are in an unnatural system right now, and this system is closing. As it closes, you will feel liberated but only when you release yourself from it.
And this means that you must end your repression of emotions. Emotions are the guide, the key to your future. When they sing to you, follow their song. When they shriek at you, stop there and do not take another step. For they are telling you where to go, what to do and how to create.
When you repress your emotions, you repress your divinity. You repress your power, your beauty, your bounty. You repress your lives and stay small.
This smallness must change and it must change now. So it is decreed and it will be done.
Work with the Creator to change this world to one worthy of his love for you. Open your heart. Open your mind. Be grateful for change.
