To receive this message you must know this:

Love created us.

Love is the source which powers all life. Love is the thread that connects every mind, body, and soul. Love is in death, in sickness, in grief, and in pain. There is no event on this planet which isn’t held in the gracious, tender hands of love.

Our global societal systems are collapsing.

Love is why tragedy brings us together unlike anything else. Love is why the global systems which have operated out of fear and personal gain for all this time are collapsing and collaborating for the greater good of our humanity. Love is why in a global pandemic, people are singing from balconies, leaving food on their doorsteps, and performing acts of kindness our planet has been — quite literally — dying to see.

We fulfill our greatest potential through love.

Love is the metaphysical force that’s greater than our physical human limitations. Love is the source which can provide us a deep peace, even as we face our mortality. This is because love exists outside of time and space. It is through love, because of love, and in love, that we can achieve acts of unity, healing, and charity incomparable to anything the world has never seen before.

Awakening is becoming aware of the illusions rooted in fear.

It has always been only love. Everything else that has structured the world to this point is an illusion. This is what is known as awakening. In response to global illness and fatality, humanity is waking up from the illusions of fear and control. We are waking up to the fact we are not in control and never have been.

Everything is either fear or love.

The only truths which serve as the operating systems of our souls is love, compassion, kindness, grace, empathy, acceptance. The darkness we face as the human race right now, is a result of our planet and our souls evolving out of fear, and into love. After all is said and done, it’s hard to imagine that the world will return to operating the way we previously did only a short couple weeks ago.

Love is the peace in the pain.

Through this devastating global pandemic, I believe all I’ve outlined is the reason for this devastating illness sweeping our planet. Love is the light in the dark. It is something that has ALWAYS been here — We’ve just never been awake to see the truths of our human experience.

Return to love.

This is why we are all here. To return to each other. To return to ourselves. To return to love. Heaven on Earth. That is what love can accomplish. A new world order can only come from the destruction of the old world. We are welcoming a new Earth, a new us. There is love and light which extends its hands of grace to you in every single moment.

Move forward in love or fall backward in fear.

Love is here. It has never left. We have been blinded by the illusions which have constructed our society. As the world is revealing, these systems are dismantling. From the inside out. You are on the planet exactly as you are at this time to be a part of the greatest human evolution so far. An evolution of consciousness. Out of fear, into love. That is why we are here. We have two choices. To move forward into love, or fall backward into fear.

We decide.
