It is your teacher Augustine. I have been with you as you have worked today to bring about some lessons and teachings that you will spread over the wires and we have helped you to articulate these truths in simple and clear ways. We will continue to assist you in these matters and assist you in the writing of books and transcripts of truth, for God wishes that all of humanity will come to know the possibility of receiving His Love within their souls. This simple truth must be conveyed in simple language and with heartfelt sense of commitment and truth towards understanding of these laws and truths pertaining to the Divine Love. And those of you who wish to teach these truths, to bring about Circles of Light, to touch other souls who are curious and open to this, I tell you that we will assist you in these efforts, we will stand by you and we will inspire you, for the time grows short for you to reach out into the world and bring these truths.
Many changes are coming and it is time to embrace all of humanity, to put aside your fears of judgement and reaction from those who would resist your words and to step forward boldly, lovingly, with a sense of joy, with a sense of truly knowing that you do God’s work when you share your love, when you share this message of the rebirth of the soul through Love.
It is so very simple, requires so little in terms of explanation, but requires a great deal in terms of expression, for it is in your love and your shining Light and your willingness to embrace others no matter their thoughts and conceptions of truth, to embrace them in love. To be an example, to walk in simplicity and grace, this teaches more than a thousand words. This brings truth in a palpable way to those you meet, and I see that many of you are expressing yourselves in this way and opening yourselves up to the will of God so that many may be touched with Love. It is in this touch comes the message and it is in these efforts to speak the simple truth comes the tolling of the bell which awakens the yearning heart. Beloved souls, listen to that chime within you that draws you to be awake, that draws you to God, that draws you to the Truth and as you open your eyes and as you open your hearts, as you put aside your fears, your judgements, your error, your reticence, you become a clear channel of Love in the world, and this, my beloveds, is what God desires for you to be – a clear channel of Love. It matters not the explanation of this but it matters a great deal the expression of this channel in many beautiful ways, in many aspects and all aspects of your life. May this love flow and flow and flow and it will change everything and bring everything into alignment and harmony with God’s beautiful creation. His Will and His purpose, for each one of you is imbued with a purpose, is imbued with gifts and beautiful potentials longing to be expressed in the world. Seek this Love, this potent force, this change agent that will bring your soul to life and in your seeking, your longing and your praying for this Gift you will find a great and wondrous fulfillment within you and you will express parts of yourself which you know not exist but do exist and are longing to be expressed.
So much within you, each one of you, awaits your choice to be in the flow of this Love, to allow this Love to remake you into a true child of God. It awaits and you inch forward, some of you in trepidation, some of you eagerly inching forward, drawn to the Light, drawn to what you know will bring a great awakening. Continue with your prayers. Seek this Love like none other. Seek this Love with all your heart and all your feeling and all your desire and you will know that the words that I speak are the truth, that what lies within you will come forth and will be expressed in the world in a way that will help heal many others, inspire many others and bring joy and Love to many others. This is what the soul does when it is in alignment with God. This will be easy. This will be beautiful.
Beloved souls, I say to you, be with God in your hearts. Know God in your consciousness. Allow God to be in your soul through His Essence of Love. God bless you, beloveds. Your teacher Augustine is with you often and is happy to give a lesson of Love to you. God bless you.

> [!abstract] Description
> Augustine tells the circle he has been with them in the day's work of putting these teachings into simple language, promises help with the books and transcripts to come, and says the time grows short for them to carry the truths outward. He teaches that the message needs very little explanation and a great deal of expression: what teaches is love, a shining Light, and the willingness to embrace anyone whatever they believe, and to be an example in simplicity and grace says more than a thousand words. He calls them to put aside fear, judgement, and reticence, and to become clear channels.
