ESU “JESUS” SANANDA Good  evening,  my  scribe.    It  is  I,  Esu “Jesus”  Sananda,  come  in  the  Radiance  and Oneness  of  Creator  God,  The  One  Light. Blessings and peace, dear ones.

Allow  for  the  natural  unfolding  of  events surrounding  these  times  of  swift  change. Abrupt  shifts  in  focus  will  become  necessary for  MANY  in  the  coming  weeks,  months,  and years.  This is to say that where you think you are  heading  is,  in  all  likelihood,  quite  a  bit different  than  where  you  will  eventually  be. Many  of  you  will  have  experiences  that  will cause  sudden  and  abrupt  changes  of  priority and  focus,  thus  leading  you  down  a  path  you may never have considered prior.

Allow for the spontaneous unfolding of life and living.  Be ever diligent to remain flexible in  your  thinking  and  reasoning,  so  as  to  allow for  these  sudden  shifts  in  “reality”.    In  many cases  your  very  ability  to  adapt  to  new  and quickly changing situations will further enhance your  survivability,  and  thus  further  your opportunities to experience and grow within the present, chosen physical environment.

Never underestimate your ability to adapt to new  situations.    Regardless  of  age  or  state  of physical health, and regardless of the amount of “chaos”  that  may  be  unfolding  around  you, with  the  proper  mental  outlook  and  ability  to stay  centered  and  balanced,  you  can  connect within  for  the  Guidance  to  find  an  appropriate course  of  action  that  will  further  enhance  your experience.

In times of sudden change (many would call such  events  “disasters”),  ones  often  become overwhelmed  with  the  abruptness  of  the “reality”  shift,  and  become  paralyzed  as  they wrestle with the inner emotional energy surges of  shock  and  disbelief.    In  such  states  of paralysis,  these  ones  will  be  looking  for answers and understanding, as well as guidance in terms of what they should do.

Be   quick   to   ground   yourself   in   an understanding  of  the  Larger  Perspective—in which  you  are  a  student  in  a  schoolroom,  and the experiences you encounter are for a reason. Whatever crosses your path is no accident, and there  is  opportunity  to  learn  and  grow  from ALL things

Regardless of your perceptions in a time of seeming  “chaos”,  please  remember  that  ALL experiences have a POSITIVE growth potential associated  with  them  when  viewed  from  the spiritual level from which you all originate and shall  return.    Each  day  you  are  faced  with  a series of choices and decisions that further lead to new and forever changing situations.

Abrupt  change  often  serves  you  in  such  a way  that  you  are  caused  to  more  deliberately focus  your  attention  in  a  manner  that  will “quicken”  the  process  of  making  choices  and decisions.  In such times ones are often caused to  focus  upon  the  “things”  in  life  that  are REALLY important.

For  example,  let  us  consider  the  situation where  you  are  on  an  airplane  and,  while  in mid-flight,  it  becomes  evident  that  there  is  a serious problem with the aircraft.  It is suddenly announced  that  there  is  need  to  prepare  for  a crash landing.

What  goes  through  your  mind?    Do  you worry about the mortgage payment or what the stock  market  is  doing?    Do  you  worry  about ANY  of  those  “precious  pots  of  gold”  at  the end  of  the  ever  elusive  rainbow  you’ve  been chasing most of your life?

No.

Most  ones  confronted  with  such situations quickly distill the clutter and superfluous “garbage” down to what is REALLY  important.    You  ponder family  and  loved  ones,  and  regret  any missed opportunity to give them a hug and  tell  them  one  last  time  how  much they  are  dearly  appreciated  and  loved. This  can  be  quite  a  powerful  and insightful  experience—especially  for those   who   survive   same.      These “graduates”  are  often  left  with  a  very lasting   appreciation   for   what   is TRULY important in life.

In  such  situations,  you  will  always regret recent harshness toward a loved one,  and  pray  for  the  opportunity  to “make  things  right”.    Never  does  one pray  for  the  opportunity  to  survive  so that  they  can  make  their  next  credit card payment.  Nor is it the fancy cars or   the   large   houses   or   the   bank accounts    that    may    have    once represented security and safety.

No,  dear  ones,  the  important things in life are the acts of kindness toward others and the expressions of appreciation for the subtle riches of, say, the grandchildren’s smiles when you give them a hug,  or  the  opportunity  to  tell  someone  how special they really are

Sudden,  impacting  change  should  thus  be viewed as a great catalyst for inner growth and understanding.    Never  are  such  abrupt  shifts actually the “disasters” they are often regarded to be from a purely physical perspective.

ALL  experience  offers  you  an  opportunity to   express   your   uniqueness,   as   well   as appreciate the uniqueness in others.  Sometimes you  will  playfully  ask  one  another:  “What  if you  were  given  only  24  hours  to  live?    What would  you  do?”    This  may  seem  like  an innocent  game,  however,  there  is  a  bit  of wisdom  in  pondering  such  queries  with  a moment of serious contemplation.

Those  who  go  through  and  survive  things that    would    be    considered    “near-death experiences”  often  emerge  as  “changed” people.  There is usually a greater appreciation for  the  more  simple  and  subtle  things  in  life— especially  interactions  with  loved  ones  who may have previously been taken for granted.

Would not such LEARNED appreciation be a  valuable  lesson  to  acquire  without  the  need for  a  seemingly  negative  event?    Often  souls experiencing  in  the  physical  become  too caught-up  in  a  multitude  of  distractions,  and severely  neglect  the  REAL  reason  they  came forth to experience in the physical.  Usually the “tragedies”  which  ones  are  faced  with  leave them  with  a  greater  awareness  of  what  they had, but simply did not fully appreciate until it was “too late”.

You  ones  can  avoid  many  lessons  of perceived “harshness” if you learn to appreciate those  seemingly  small  things  in  life  that  often get  taken  for  granted.    Take  the  time  to  pull yourself  out  of  those  constant  preoccupations with  self-distraction  long  enough  to  really  see what  it  is  that  is  TRULY  important.    There  is no  need  to  wait  until  the  time  when  it  is  “too late”—and yet the majority do exactly that.

 Be quick to give appreciation to others and be slow to criticize.  Look not to blame another for  YOUR  emotional  state,  and  know  that YOU  are  responsible  for  your  “bad”  days  as much as the “good” ones.

There are no victims in life; all experiences that  directly  or  indirectly  impact  you  are  for one   very   good   reason—to   help   you   to recognize and appreciate the Lighted God-force Potential  within  self.    In  doing  so,  you  will then  be  able  to  recognize  same  within  ALL others.    A  great,  effortless  appreciation  for ALL  ones  and  ALL  life  will  then  become  a part  of  your  experience,  and  you  will  begin  to know what TRUE happiness is.

Learn  to  live  your  life  without  regrets.    If you  have  regrets  now,  then  do  your  best  to alleviate them.  There is no need to dwell upon past  “mistakes”.    The  very  fact  that  you  can recognize  a  past  choice  or  decision  as  a “mistake” says that you have learned a valuable lesson  from  same.    Take  the  value  from  the experience  and  go  forward  with  a  greater understanding, and use it to help others.

Often the best method of teaching is to use yourself   as   the   example,   for   it   shows understanding  and  compassion,  and  therefore the  impacting  is  much  greater.    Please  know that  you  are  never  too  old,  sick,  or  weak  to either  teach  another  or  learn  something  new yourself.

One  of  the  most  valuable  skills  ones  can learn  while  in  the  physical  is  to  recognize  the many  subtle  things  they  have  in  their  lives  for which to be appreciative.  Each person reading this  message  can  find  much  more  than  one thing in their life to be appreciative for having as a part of their experience.

Look  at  the  seemingly  small  things  and examine  them  closely:    What  is  common  in each?    How  can  the  small  insights  help  you  to notice   more   things   in   your   life   to   be appreciative  for?    Time  spent  examining  these small,  subtle  things  can  and  will  lead  to  great insights, understanding, and wisdom.

Knowledge  without  wisdom  most  often leads to corruption and, eventually, destruction. Seek  out  true  understanding  and  wisdom,  and all  the  riches  of  heaven  will  be  poured  out  to you,  and  you  will  know  true  happiness.    Seek out the physical world’s “riches” as a means to finding happiness, and you will, without fail, be creating a cold and lonely “prison” from which you will eventually seek escape.

Look  inward  for  your  Guidance  at  all times  and  learn  to  trust  your  intuition.    Your Inner  Guidance  (conscience)  is  what  will enable  you  to  adapt  to  any  situation  and  see good  in  all  experience,  regardless  of  the physical outcome.

I am Esu “Jesus” Sananda, a fellow traveler along the infinite journey of Life.  I am merely one  who  has  traveled  a  bit  further  down  the “road”  of  Understanding,  and  I  have  come  to appreciate  the  opportunities,  like  this  one,  to help any and all who seek my assistance.

May  the  Light  of  Father-Mother  Creator Source—The One Light—forever be recognized within  your  heart,  mind,  and  soul,  so  that  you never feel that you are somehow abandoned or forsaken,  for  that  shall  never  be.    You  are dearly    loved    and    appreciated    without conditions

In Light, Love, and Appreciation—Salu.
