Welcome to those who are on this journey with us and have progressed from Volume One. The messages in this volume are those shared up until the end of October 2023. I have already been guided that Volume 3 will be the messages shared in November, December and January, and quarterly thereafter – although guidance may change that, what do I know?

Again, I want to thank Barb Chap for the major task of proofreading and editing.

A group of us still remotely sit daily at 09.00 (UK time) for a five-minute silent sitting where we Extend Love. You could similarly start your own group.

The messages always end with Believe in Me And All Will Be Well, so you can tell where one stops and another starts. Any errors are all mine!

I see us all as Happy, Healthy and Divine, and I Extend God’s Love to you. More to the point, I Love You.

I give thanks to my Teacher for all He has given me.

Good day to you. When David realised the messages were getting too long to be completely practical to post on WhatsApp and he started this daily email list, he was in a dilemma. He had recently stopped typing in the messages and had started speaking out loud into a microphone from which the audio was transcribed into quite a decent transcription, and he would just tidy up the text using the audio as a backup. He was quite nervous about speaking the messages out loud, and he – and I repeat – he thought it was a good idea to go right back to the beginning of the messages and start again. These days David can pretty much settle down and focus himself and receive a message with ease; although he doesn't always get everything right and he still cuts them off too soon, the essence of My Message remains. It's easy to forget that David has only been doing this for a little over a year.

Now, I say that it was David's decision to post the messages that had already been shared, but I didn't remonstrate with him because I never remonstrate with any of you regardless of the decisions you make. I am aware that the decisions you make are not always the ones that benefit the best version of yourself. I don't chastise you, I don't argue with you, and I allow you to make your decisions and continue to make decisions that are not in your best spiritual interest until you're ready to let Me make decisions for you. Come the moment when you completely relax, completely Believe in Me and fall into My Arms – in Truth, there are no decisions, there just IS.

Because you are so addicted to the human condition and the fact that you can make apparent decisions that determine the direction of your human life, it makes it very difficult for you to even contemplate that you can exist as an extension of Me without decisions being made but where your existence is one of Bliss. You will each have slightly different versions of what you believe happens when you merge with Me, and I can absolutely assure you that none of them is correct (lots of chuckling here). The reason for that is, it is an existence that you just cannot contemplate, and even if I explained it to you, you still wouldn't grasp it. This is why all spiritual teachers actually don't discuss this in any depth.

The spiritual teacher’s job is to get you to a place where you can experience this yourself. The way this is done is by getting you to focus on something that is part of – yet separate from – the human condition. Read a spiritual book, sing spiritual songs, and help others, and these are all designed so that you can be distracted from your distraction, if you can understand that.

Of course, what I encourage you to do is Extend Love because this is the highest form of service. This will take form in different ways depending on your human character, but whatever way you are driven to serve, know that the Extension of Love is at its very peak and also its very foundation.

So, all of the earlier messages have now been sent out, and David did ask me whether he should go back to the beginning again and share them once more. Yes, he did ask Me! I said no, not because I think you would notice that all of the messages would be shared a third time – some you would, most you wouldn't – but because it was time for him to move beyond that point and share the next batch of messages. Interestingly, there's a very good chance that the store of messages that David has backed up won't necessarily all be shared because, if David makes a very small step in allowing Me to enter a little more, you may get more direct messages, broadcast audio and/or video – and that will certainly change the dynamic!

So, you could say that posting on WhatsApp was phase one, setting up the email system was phase two, and now we're entering phase three. The essence of the messages won't change. It is always Believe In Me And All Will Be Well and Extend Love. The fact that you persevere daily to read a message is wonderful in itself and a testament to your determination to be more fully engaged with Me.

Welcome to this new phase. I send my love to you. Know that I am here for you whenever you need to reach out to Me, and if you find that is not possible for you at this time, then feel free to ask David to ask your question of Me at any time. I am there for you, and I look forward to the time when you let Me speak to you directly.

I Love You.

Believe In Me And All Will Be Well

What is anxiety? Something made up by the human condition. Do you think I am ever anxious? Some humans have a belief that there is this constant battle going on between good and evil and this causes me great stress, but good and evil are also constructs of the human condition, which means they don’t actually exist. There is no ‘Divine opposite’ that constantly threatens Me.

But for the human being, good and evil, good or bad outcomes and experiences are very real. An extreme focus on ‘bad’ leads the ego-mind onto a pathway and into depths that only it is happy to be within. Anxiety is rarely caused by positive outcome thought processes – it is normally what happens if the positive outcome doesn’t happen that causes the anxiety. More negative thought processes are generally caused by the reliving of bad experiences or conjuring up bad outcomes for the future, and at the core is a fear of what will happen to ‘me’, ‘him/her’, ‘my loved ones’, ‘the planet etc’. Virtually always, there is a deep dissatisfaction from which springs forth some very unpleasant scenarios.

This is very much to do with your core programming and especially the parts of the programming you have ‘inherited’ from your family and environment. You may ask yourself why humans tend to ‘inherit’ more negative traits than positive. Well, in truth, they don’t, but the ego-mind has an easier job to exploit the negative thought processes. There is an enjoyment in wallowing in sadness and self-pity. This is the epitome of the individual, separate self – there is no REAL consideration that one is part of the greater Whole.

It is exceptionally rare to find somebody who is anxious when focused on the NOW. When you do this, it reduces the time thought processes can spend in the past or the future, and this is where fear has its hold on you. Even optimism is a form of fear because it places an undue weight on an eventual outcome. Again, as many scriptures say, don’t have one eye on the outcome. Do the job, do it to the best of your ability, and let it go and return to the Now. Can you see this? This is the difference between the working mind and the thinking/ego-mind. The mind does a job and then reverts back to thinking/being with Me. The less time you give the ego-mind the opportunity to ‘think’ the better it is for you and for every human.

Now, I should point out to others who will read this message that David is not prone to anxiety, but this came about because of something he has been pondering in others. He is prone to excess optimism, though, and that is better than its opposite – marginally!

When you all tune in to Me in the Now, that is where you will find the greatest equilibrium, and you have the best opportunity to Be With Me on an ongoing basis.

Believe In Me And All Will Be Well

It is very difficult for humans to grasp what I am saying in its entirety. The words are written and the meaning given, but such is the way the ego-mind functions: it filters out the things it doesn’t like or doesn’t want you to focus on.

I make it quite clear that, as long as you consider yourself a separate individual that is making decisions that YOU believe are for the greater good of yourself and those around you, you will only maintain the status quo of the human condition. For some, this may mean a ‘life’ of relative happiness, while for others it may mean a ‘life’ of relative sadness, but for the majority, it is a ‘life’ that flip flops between these two human states of being. I am not responsible for either of these ‘states of life’.

Regardless of what I say, you will still reach out to Me asking for some solution to a situation over which I had no say and have no control. I recognise that there are times when you watch somebody close to you and feel unhappy about a set of circumstances they find themselves in, but I have to repeat that it is their programming that causes these circumstances. Yes, you may have contributed to them by writing your section of code within their personal programme, but once you have written the code, there is nothing YOU can do to ‘unwrite’ it. Similarly, others will have fed into that code, and the human that assembles the completed programme, including that they have written themselves, is controlled by a set of circumstances that are very difficult to change – unless they want to make the effort.

As I have said before, that effort takes considerable focus and energy, but it is possible. A change in behaviour, whether it be to stop smoking, drinking, eating meat or judging, are all possible as long as YOU REALLY WANT to do it. It is the same for every human being. Another human can advise and encourage, but at the end of the day, it is the human being whose programming needs to be changed that has to make it happen. They have to make up another story for themselves.

I know as human beings you want to make things better, you want to make the story nicer, kinder, more palatable in which to participate, but you can only change ‘your’ story. It may not sound like much, but the only thing you can do that has any practical impact on another human being is to Extend Love. It may not seem very much to do when you watch things unfold in front of you, and you absolutely know a change is needed, but I can only assure and reassure you that this simply is the most powerful thing you can do in your everyday human lives.

Some of you sit and Extend Love on a regular basis as part of a group, and that is wonderful, but if you do not at this time feel this is something in which you can participate, then sit quietly and Extend Love in your own time as often as possible. It need only take a few minutes. You all have a few minutes at least once a day to do this and, if you give it a try, you may be surprised by the results. Again, remember, this is a marathon not a sprint. Never feel that I have deserted you because I am always with you. All you need to do is reach out and ask Me to be with you.

Extend Love in My Name.

Believe In Me And All Will Be Well

Your conversation yesterday was interesting for you. You vocalised that you want to ‘get closer’ to Me – but on your terms not Mine. This isn’t unusual, I should point out. Any human who is following a ‘spiritual path’ has an agenda. The journey has to fit into a set of preconceived ideas about what will happen when awakening happens. ‘I will become this’ – according to the ego-mind.

If I ask you ‘what is it like to be awake, to be merged with Me’, can you give Me an answer? If you can, then it is something made up by the ego-mind that fits into the various human perceptions of what the situation would be like. The truth is none of you know because none of you have ever experienced it.

If you sit quietly and think about teachings you have read or heard, then how many of them tell you what it is like to be awake? If any, then very few. There are two main reasons for this.

First and foremost, it is unexplainable. There are no words to describe it – it is, literally, beyond words. Secondly, many of the people who say they are awake actually aren’t, even though they may be quite learned and able to recite scripture and clever enough to answer questions rooted in a spiritual mystique. Don’t get Me wrong, these latter people can be very, very helpful in guiding the seeker to a certain level and, at the appropriate time, the next, perhaps the ultimate teacher takes over. There are a few teachers who tell you what it is like when you are awake and who also think they are awake, but they lack substance in the teaching. Close examination identifies these easily.

However, the vast majority of teachers mean well and are keen to help you, the spiritual seeker, on your journey. The True Teacher will give you very clear signposts as to how you can throw off your addiction and wake up. The method here – and yes, there are different methods for different humans – is to Extend Love. You would think that this is too easy, but the truth is that even that is challenging for some. Not so much the extending of Love itself but finding the time and the inclination to do so. How much time are you willing to devote to extending Love?

And, sadly, but expected, because you are caught up in the human condition, there is often, not always, a lack of clear ‘thought’ in Extending Love. Things get murky when the ego-mind comes into play, and it does this by embellishing what is being done, and this frequently takes the form of a ‘bargain with Divinity’: if YOU do this, I will surrender a little more. I am sorry to tell you, it doesn’t work like that. I don’t bargain because I know the human condition isn’t REAL, and I only concern myself with what is REAL. So for you to be Real, you need to stop looking for the quid pro quo and accept that what I can Really and Truly give to you is so much greater than what you have to give up. The ‘conversion rate’ is heavily in your favour. I only Give; you have nothing to offer to Me except for Love – and in reality, that is Mine anyway.

Believe In Me And All Will Be Well

‘It has always been like that’.

That was the phrase used by the man in the programme you were watching. A shrug of the shoulder and an acceptance of that is how it was, how it is now and how it will be in the future. It is outside of his remit to change things.

There are many things that follow the pattern of your life where you accept that because something has always been that way, it is how it SHOULD be, but, of course, that is wrong. Nothing needs to be as it was because the one thing you do have the opportunity to do – as you make it up – is change the drama in which you are appearing. Human beings try to do this on many occasions but lack the self-determination to see something through to the end. They allow the collective way of thinking to be the dominant force and so are overcome and overwhelmed into submission.

This can cover any of a number of different areas. The man in the programme was speaking about racism, and one group attacking another; it’s a dog-eat-dog world where only the strong will survive. That’s the accepted view. It’s human nature. How can it possibly change?

It CAN change by exerting an amazing amount of determination and wilfulness. Look at the many movements that have ‘succeeded’ in doing this, and I would use the civil rights and suffrage movements as examples that have made change happen in this way. Because you believe you are a single, individual, separate self, what can you do on your own to effect change? Well, that statement is actually not true at any level!

You are not alone, you are with Me, or if it suits you better, I am with you – always!

When you are One with Divinity, you are in the majority – always!

When we set out to change something, we succeed – always!

Depending on the level of commitment you are prepared to give – I am always there to give 100% – will determine how long something will take to be changed. If you want to spend just five minutes a day writing letters to all and sundry, then it will take a long time. If you want to spend 24/7 focusing on change, it will happen a lot quicker. However, whatever you do, you have to make sure you do so with Love. Anger and hatred have no part to play in positive change.

As I have mentioned on many
