SOUNDS LIKE BAD NEWS, DOESN'T IT? For many, it may be. For those who do not yet understand the true and eternal power of free will, the fact that Jesus isn't coming to Earth in a Caravan of Light to fix things up right tidy, could be devastating. Of course, there will be some who read this and judge it as false without hearing me out.

Can you imagine, waiting all this time for Jesus to come and save you, only to find out it doesn't work that way? All those Sunday church meetings and Wednesday prayer breakfasts for nothing? He's just not coming. Not in the way you expect. The real second coming is not a physical coming. It is an awakening in the mind for those who missed it the first time. You are going to have another very important moment to choose. That choosing will be your final answer for a very long time to come.

Salvation (which is a manmade word) is a state of mind/heart. You honestly do not have to go anywhere, physically, to be saved. Heaven is in the heart and needs no building, or textbook. Jesus had neither. The time has always been right now to truly surrender to Love and go home in the heart.

Contrary to popular belief, no one in the Middle East will die at the hands of God. No one in jails around the world will be lit on fire at the hands of Love. No lost soul will be shunned into oblivion at the hands of Light. No earth will be scorched at the hands of the Divine. No single soul who opted for Buddha or Mohammed, instead of Jesus, will be left behind and judged as unlovable and silly. What kind of God would play favorites? What kind of parent would unlove their child who chose a different way than they? Would that parent leave them behind and save only the child that falls in line?

The only thing that matters in all of life is the knowledge and experience of Love. Whether you connect with love through Jesus, or through Yanni, it matters not. Love is Love and you will know it when you feel it. Love judges and fears nothing. Love includes every living thing, no matter what. Love sees no differences between this or that. Love is blind and is in all things.

Jesus will not descend to Earth. Descending gave Jesus an ear ache the first time. We are asked to Ascend to Love for eternity. We go up. He doesn't come down. Up means to elevate your heart and mind to that of the Love's Consciousness. Forgive the world you fear. Love Thyself.

Fact is, it is YOU who must make the trip to your own Salvation. You will be the One, when you are ready, to see the world for what it is and choose peace and love anyway. With your willingness and effort comes the open road and a map. It is up to you to pack your own bags, fill up your own gas, put air in the tires, and chart your journey of the heart. You will be lovingly Guided as you move along. You determine the smooth or rocky road, you determine the timing, you determine your traveling companions, you determine how many stops you will make along the way. It's about discernment.

Jesus,which is not really a peson, but a vast point of Creation called Love, is waiting on you to Come Unto Him/Her, and they will wait forever. But, if you sit and wait while you pluck from your life experience only what you feel is worthy of Love, or easy to love, then you will wait forever.

Think of all the many millions of people who honestly believe there is a way to go home on a wing and a prayer without taking important parts of themselves with them, such as their brothers and sisters. There is a wonderful teaching in A Course In Miracles, a favorite text of mine, that says, "No one goes home until we all go home."

We did not arrive alone, and we will not go home alone. You are never alone. How could you be? We are One. We are all deeply connected and that connection is the key to understanding the concept of Salvation.

Unless and until you understand the true meaning of forgiveness, which is to release and surrender all perceived error in another, you cannot get through the last toll booths. Forgiveness, even unto death. This is a lot harder than it sounds.

There will come a time when you will pass from this physical plane, and move into a spirit essence, but the temporary ceiling of unforgiveness is still set by humankind's unwillingness to take the hand of our perceived enemies. I suspect the next, non-physical level up is filled with confused Christians, Muslims and Jews, wondering "Are we there yet?" No one person can decide for another, but it's the collective "Yes!" that will open the Gates of Heaven. The First and Last Gates of Love ask only that we all come together.

Your true Salvation lies only in your continued decision for forgiveness and love in the here and now. Dedicate to leave this planet understanding the sun shines on everyone, and you will find haven in the hands of Light on the next leg of your journey. Leave this planet pointing fingers and you will know the sure direction you must walk to meet face to face with your own unhealed heart.

A while ago, I was dowsing for some guidance and asked God how Jesus had the power to heal and perform miracles. I was taking an interest in energy and how it works within our Universe. I imagined, at the time, that Jesus had some special way of performing miracles, and I wanted to know what that way was. Was it simply God working through him? That's when I imagined God as a person. Were there certain thoughts, or symbols, or beads, or candles, or foods that blessed him in certain ways? I envisioned a detailed answer to my prayer. I never doubted I would get the truth. The answer came on my ABC chart: "Jesus forgave the world." Jesus had only one thing he needed to act in the image of his Creator. Love.

Jesus is not coming to Earth to retrieve us good ones, or offer us the Kingdom we think we lost. The Kingdom is within. It was never taken from us. We hid it from ourselves. But, Jesus, and all of our ancestoral Masters longs for us, and all those we have judged as unworthy of Love. They long for them no less than he longs for us. Recognition of this one thing alone, will get you where you want to be.

You have free will. You have a map. You have the Will to be what you really are. It's your choice. No one is going to make it for you, or save you from a fierce Earth. Forgive the world and everything in it. The cost of deciding otherwise is the cost of your salvation.
