The human response to great difficulty or trauma or depression can often lead to the experience of despair.

Despair is the feeling that there is no meaning to one's life, that life is not tolerable or bearable or worth living. This is a very painful and tormented state, one which causes much suffering for those afflicted.

The energy of despair comes because the soul is not able to perceive God's Light or God's presence within whatever difficult experience is happening. The soul perceives itself to be alone, without love or hope or comfort or meaning.

We who are not currently within physical form, but have experienced physical life many times, wish to offer our compassion and love for those experiencing the torments of despair.

While a soul is experiencing despair, it feels very real ... and at it's core, the energy of despair is illusion. It is not real because God's love is always holding and supporting the soul no matter what events are being experienced.

We send our deepest love and compassion, and the reminder that just underneath this very painful experience is the greater Light and greater life of Spirit which is holding you and guiding you. This Light of Spirit is you, for you are that love and Light.

May all beings be blessed with the knowing of God's love. May all beings be at peace. Amen.
