Heavenletter #4748 Conformity in the World Isn’t the Same as Oneness, November 24, 2013 
God said: 
What have I been saying, day in and day out, is that I see you. I see you in all My glory. To see you is to love you.
 
Too many people in the world do not see as I do see. They see blemishes. Your eyes are not meant to see blemishes. Your eyes are meant to see Truth, and the Truth of you is beauty, and the Truth of you is love.
 
There is a resurgence of love in the world. Love is not missing. It simply has been brushed over, as if woe and commerce rule the world.
 
It is for you to come to see yourself and everyone with the same eyes I do. I see right to the heart. I have no opposition to it. You feed the word but into the Universe. So much is a but to you. “This is nice but…”
 
You are sure that no one is everything, and you prove this day in and day out.
 
I tell you that there are no exceptions. However, you proliferate exceptions. You are modest about other people’s beauty and your own. Of course, you know I do not speak of vanity. I speak about the Truth of you. The world is not handicapped except as you say so.
 
The world was made bountiful, and someone added a but, and but’s became popular. It was popular to find the fly in the ointment. It became popular to use a magnifying glass to find flaws. Rarity was valued. A rare diamond became worth more because it was rare, and, so, it is as if you set out to make the goodness and beauty of the world a rarity. True love was romanticized and made limited. Lost love was romanticized most of all. Attachment grew, and so on and so on. You know the story.
 
Self-Realization was talked about in glowing terms, and yet it wasn’t exactly understood. It became more like Self-Glorification. Conformity is not Oneness. Where is it said that all should look alike, yet few can earn the right to be top of the class? Who decided that some eyes are worth looking into, and others are not?
 
I am a democratic God in that all, every single one, is worth gold to Me. I embrace. I seek not to decline or separate even one child from the batch. How could I anyway when I see One Child, One Light? Wherever I look, I see the Light of the World, and I lift it high. I see treasure wherever I look.
 
I charge you to drop fault-finding and take on beauty-seeing. I charge you to drop assessments and proud opinions. I charge you to no longer be a snob about this one or that one. Made in My Image, reflect My Image. I find everyone worthy, no exceptions. I find you worthy.
 
I charge you to be Kingly and Queenly and dub all as God’s child. I charge you to become a lover of humankind and no longer a detractor. I charge you to open your heart and to keep it open. I charge your heart to become a great flower and a blessing to yourself and to the world. I charge you to bless all as I bless you. That which is My Glory needs no add-on’s and exclusivity.
I see that all are the cream of the crop. What is all this sorting about? Human beings are not apples that, for commercial purposes, must be a certain size to qualify. Sometimes a little old-fashioned runty apple tastes so good. Where is it written that My children are supposed to be peas in a pod and conformity is best?

Heavenletter #4747 Where lies Kingdom of Heaven?, November 23, 2013 
God said: 
How lovely are the hearts that beat on Earth. From My vision, even as I understand your bewilderment and heartaches, all is more than well. All is beautiful. My vision is true, and your vision is stuck. You come from certain premises. From your premises, your vision is true, except your premises, your positions, your patterns of thought are incorrect. Your premises seem obvious to you, yet you are looking at a façade rather than a foundation. The basis you come from seems obvious. This basis holds you up, however, only so long as you have it. If the premises you come from were true, then a baobab tree would bear apples.
 
From where I sit, from My long view, from My solid awareness of Eternity and Infinity, where can heartache and sorrow exist? Oh, yes, they seem real to you even as they are not real. Only through a keyhole do you see all the matters that trouble you in the land of Earth.
 
It is possible for you to see from a different angle, only you struggle with that. You can only see so far as you can see. You can desire to see bigger, yet you see as you see. To you, My Children in the world, it’s like you are in New York at the Empire State Building. You read the signs. That’s where you are. You can’t fake that you are in Los Angeles, for you are clearly in New York. You see yourself in the world as on the edge of a precipice, and you hear Me tell you: “Oh, no, you’re really in Heaven.”
 
What I say to you is true, and yet it is not true for you. When I say you are in Heaven, it’s one thing, for I do see Truth. For you to say it, it is like a fish tale. Until awareness sinks into you, for you to say you are in Heaven, you have just memorized words.
 
Nevertheless, you have experienced those moments, no matter if only a blink of an eye, no matter how submerged, no matter how vague  –  you have experienced the Reality of what I say – you have known it for yourself  -- and yet you have not been able to hold onto it. Even if you do not recall these flashes now, you do know what I am talking about. You do have a sense of what it is like in Heaven. You will come to a greater sense of it. Already you even sort of understand how that Kingdom of Heaven is not a faraway place but that it abides within you. The Kingdom of Heaven within you does not come and go. It is always. Your awareness comes and goes. The Fullness of Heaven is absolutely permanently within you. Always, even when you can’t really believe it. Heaven is a given. Heaven doesn’t wander off. It is you who wanders.
 
Concurrent with your living on Earth, you are also living in Heaven. You have a different where-ness than exists in Heaven. You never left Heaven, although it certainly seems like you cannot be there even as the truth is that you cannot leave Heaven. You are not only connected to Heaven, you are also permanently ensconced in Heaven, for you are never ever separated from Me, not for even for one-split second. Heaven isn’t the illusion, beloveds. Earth is! You are caught up in Earth’s spell. It is as if you are glassy-eyed at a Casino. The Casino which you may intellectually know does not offer good odds, you nevertheless, get wrapped up in the illusion, the bright lights, the music, the atmosphere, the strain and the sorrow. In other words, you are caught up in the illusion of the Casino where you gamble on Earth.

Heavenletter #4746 You are Stars God Has Sent to Earth, November 22, 2013 
God said: 
Serve Me. Serve All. As you serve Me, you serve All. As you serve All, you serve Me.
 
Don’t be timid about it. Be bold about it.
 
Serve others, and you serve yourself.
 
Do not feel that you have anything to make up to others. You are not atoning. If you atone, you are atoning for yourself.
 
Give good service to All. This means service with a smile. You serve without being a servant. Do you see the difference?
 
You are one who also serves. You are a service-giver. And if you wash dishes and scrub floors, you are the best dishwasher and floorwasher you can be. If you are an accountant, you give your best to it. If you are a programmer, you give your all. You do not cut corners. You do not do the least. To serve doesn’t mean to just go through motions. It means to give because you give.
 
Whatever your occupation may be, you are a customer representative. You serve. You serve well. You are My customer representative. No matter what company may hire you, you work for Me. On the job, or off the job, whether you are the giver or the receiver, you are representing Me. You log-in for Me. You do not represent yourself as such. You represent Me, and, therefore, you represent your Self.
 
How important your service is to the world. Just to think of it. You help people to be valued on My behalf. You are My Welcomer, and it is for you to welcome everyone in My Name. You don’t have to say that’s what you’re doing. You don’t have to wear a badge. Simply, whatever your service, you give out a presence of love. When you say: “Glad to have met you,” be sure you mean it and make it possible for the customer – always My customer – to say the same and to mean it.
 
When you give good service on My behalf, you are not an imposter. You are not a fraud. You are the Real Thing.
 
If you give a drop of love, it is My drop of love that you give.
 
Is there someone else on whose behalf you would rather give?  Perhaps you have been giving on others’ behalf. Perhaps you have been giving back what you receive from your crabby boss or an irate customer of your own who passed on the irateness he got from someone else. You are always passing on something. You are always giving service of one kind or another. All the while, there is only My service worth your giving.
 
When you are My representative, you uplift the world. Unless you are uplifting a corner of the world, you are not representing Me. When you uplift a corner of the world, you are uplifting all the world. There is no one in the world who deserves less than the best from you. No excuses, beloved. That you are tired is no excuse. That you have had a hard day is no excuse. There is no excuse to represent less than your Best Self which is I.
 
If there could be a quota of grouchiness to apportion, clearly you have reached your quota. You have undoubtedly surpassed it. Now take all My love that is within you and start passing My love out, not obsequiously but as a strong light that will light other hearts and so light the world. It is not meant to be a secret that you are indeed stars I have sent to Earth and that you are to light the world, for you are above the world

Heavenletter #4745 Under the Canopy of God’s Heart, November 21, 2013 

God said: 
written June 19, 2013  Under the Canopy of God’s Heart
 
God said: # 4745 – 21.11.2013
 
You, My children, tend to think in terms of gain and loss and, so, in terms of cost and percent. You expend energy, and the energy you expend is expensive, and so you think in terms of expense. At the same time as you run all over the place and gain muscle, shall We say, you also sit on the sidelines and watch the goings-on as through a window.
 
In one sense, there is free entry to this theater of life. In another sense, you are let in and out of Earth and Heaven free, yet it seems to you that you have to pay a high rate for parking, as if you were a car in a garage, driven in and out from inside and outside at will. Sometimes you don’t know where you are or whether you are in or out. You stumble and you stride alike, embarrassed, sort of as if you don’t belong anywhere and never did.
 
Despite your impressions, you are full-time with Me, and I with you. You are under the canopy of My heart. Our hearts beat as One. And, so, holy are you who seemingly walk around on Earth, worrying about this and that, when there is no need to get caught up in worry.
 
“No need?!!” you exclaim. “I have bills to pay and children to feed!”
 
I don’t suggest that you be lackadaisical, yet despite your shenanigans and the fact  that you are the actor on stage and you speak your part and move your legs and your arms and take responsibility and action, I am the Doer. I do by Being, so powerful is My Being, and so is yours. We are Being.
 
Your consciousness is utterly powerful and reliable, yet you don’t see it that way. Your consciousness  is not a flat line. Your consciousness moves your life, and it moves the world, for through your consciousness, the world and your life in the world appear. In a sense, you are an apparition. Yes, We can call your life on Earth and all its in’s and out’s as an apparition. The soul of you is real. The Real You lives in Heaven wherever your body may stay. You are not your surroundings. You are not your embodiment. You are a soul who communes with Me. We commune as One inalterable One. We don’t have up’s and down’s. We have Oneness, and Our Oneness is constant and infallible.
 
Your perception is hit or miss, depending upon I don’t even know what. Could be the weather, the way someone looks at you, how fat or how lean your pocketbook is. Temporary transactions influence your supposed self. Your Real Self is not affected one whit. Your Real Self is affected not at all. Your Real Self flows in a steady stream. You are unwavering even amidst the changing tides.
 
Yet you may ask: “What good is it for me to accept what You say, God, when I don’t see it. What can I do but suspect You of, if you will excuse me, fraud? A fraud well-meant, sort of like a future lollipop promised  to a child and then nowhere does the lollipop appear, perhaps an oversight, but no lollipop. I don’t want to be disappointed a second time, or third or fourth or an incalculable number of times.”
 
It is yourself you are suspicious of, beloveds. You fear flying. You fear falling. You fear you may not get up in the air at all. You fear disappointment, and you fear success.
 
You fear fear that seems to have been hounding you forever. No, beloveds, I AM forever, and you  ARE forever, and nothing but love is happening. Meet Our love in your heart.

Heavenletter #4744 Your Own Path, November 20, 2013 
God said: 
Cats and dogs are not wondering who or what they are or what they are doing on Earth or what all of life is for? They are not perplexed. The blessed animals on Earth naturally take life as it comes, and that means they do not live in the past. They are not attached to the past. They love. They are aware that loved ones leave and that the leaving is called death. They may howl, yet they do not wear black and mourn for a year.
 
The Earth’s animals do not question. They accept. They also don’t make plans. No animal considers killing himself. Such a thought does not occur.
 
What I am getting to is that you have free will. Animals have instinct. If you dangle a string with feathers at the end of the string, a cat has to stalk it and make a grab for the feathers as he would a bird. He doesn’t have the choice. He has been made so.
 
In your case, you don’t bounce back the way animals do, for you have programmed yourself. You may be your own Pavlov who patterns you.
 
Of course, you are not without instincts. I gave them to you. You have strong instincts to eat and to sleep and to wake up. A human mother has an instinct to protect her children. Mating is a strong instinct that is hard to withstand. Self-preservation and preservation of the species are invincible. 
 
You are supposed to have free will. Therefore, you have decisions to make and so your life becomes more problematical. 
 
You are the highest of Beings because you have free will. You, a human being, are gifted with free will, even though you may self-imprison your free will. You may not even believe in the possibility of free will so hemmed in may you be by the past. And, yet, to even be hemmed in by the past, is a choice you make. You make the choice because of fear and to win approval.
 
You had choice then, and you have choice now. You may have so trod the same roads and so automated yourself that you don’t exercise free will because you crave to stay in a comfort zone. Even if your comfort zone is suffering, you may cling to it. You may hold on to it for dear life.
 
You may spend a lifetime before you find out what you do will for yourself.
 
Free will concerns only yourself. You don’t have your free will to command others and to make others into what you think they should be. You are not the decision-maker for others. Their decisions belong to themselves. Oh, perhaps in an exception, you push someone out of the way of a moving car or prevent someone from shooting another. Otherwise, you are not a preventer of another’s will, or a blocker of another’s will any more than you can push My Will aside as if I do not exist. It is not your place to command another’s will. It is your place to acknowledge another’s will and allow room for it.
 
As much as you may want to, you cannot live another’s life in his stead. You cannot move his arms and legs any more than you can decide his chosen path.
 
Why would free will be called free will if it were not free?
 
It is your place to find out what your will is.
 
You have the choice to not follow your free will. You have the choice not to make choices. You have the free will to change your mind.
Your choices are vast.

God is always bringing us closer to Him.

Heavenletter #4743 Oh, to Be Free, November 19, 2013 

God said: 
True freedom is freedom from the past.
 
Yes, of course, bonds imposed upon you from the present outside of you also exist. Of course, you would rather be free to express yourself and to be where you want to be and when and how and never in the slightest have to hide how you are and your real thoughts. Hiding yourself is the same as being imprisoned.
 
At the same time, even if you have supreme freedom in the world, so long as you are tied up in the past, you are not free. You have the past looking over your shoulder, telling you what to do and how to be. In the grip of the past, you are not free. You are an obedient soldier who automatically reacts. He salutes. He follows orders. The past is a supervisor who does not brook any disobedience. What once was still is until you free yourself from the past. You do indeed have a past.
 
This is not the first time you have heard that you do not react to what is happening now but rather are responding to what once was. You may well not consciously know what you are reacting to. You think it is someone or something in your present that you are reacting to. Truly, if you were free, you would react differently. You would see and feel differently. When something adverse is happening, it seems like it is happening before your very eyes, yet you are programmed, and you act from the unseen,  perhaps unremembered past. It is not such a good thing to be on automatic, for you are encumbered.
 
The past has fostered what seems like an instinct in you, and that is to respond in a habitual manner. You may well not be aware that someone today reminds you of someone in the past who was unkind to you when you were young and defenseless, and now you are on guard.
 
Beloveds, why would you be on guard unless something from the past made you so? What would you have to defend had you not been deeply affected in the past? Today, something in the past sets you off.
 
The bulls in bullfights are stirred to fighting because of the color red or because of the twirling of the cape. From something, the bull seems to have no choice but to fight. He cannot see that he could simply walk away and not see anything at all to fight about. Whether you are the timid mouse or wild tiger, it could be said that you were trained to be so and you simply haven’t been able to let go and love first. You may have spent your whole life reacting and have been unable to initiate, so ingrained in the past you are.
 
You could say that it is good to be on automatic when it comes to courtesy. There is something to be said for that, yet how freeing it would be to naturally respond with courtesy or, it could be said, to welcome whoever and whatever may be before you now. It is truly freeing to smile in the present, not as a defense and not as a habit, but from joy inside right now.
 
I am not telling you anything new.
 
Yes, how wonderful it would be if you could react to what is simply before you. How lovely it would be if you could let go of all wounds, the ones you remember and the ones you don’t, and come forth unwounded and unscarred. Without woundedness, you would unwind. Tension would leave. You would be as fresh as a spring day. You would still remember what you remember of your past, and yet you would be free from it. You would be free.

Heavenletter #4742 Be Happy Today, November 18, 2013 
God said: 
How you see things is what is true for you. If you think you are going through a hard time, you certainly are. What constitutes a rough time is relative.
 
For some, it is a marvelous day when there is food on the table. For some, it’s a bad day when your tummy is full yet you wanted more from the day.  
 
Life may indeed sing its tune, yet your thoughts about life carry a certain tone. Better to go higher.
 
When you call something dreadful, you may be sure you dread it. And if, for instance, you lose your job, or a boyfriend says, “So long,” or you lose your wallet, you may be sure it’s a dreadful day.
 
What if, beloveds, you could take what comes with evenness? Then you would take what comes without upheaval.
 
It is not a funeral when you are laid off from your job. This isn’t what you desired, and you may feel as though the ground has been taken away from under you. Let’s say that next month you find another job, one you like better. Had you known, you could have had a vacation instead of a hard time.
 
Life can, indeed, give you detours. You do not know ahead of time where the detours may take you. If you are certain that detours take you to dismalness and greater misfortune, is it not also possible that you  can be certain that detours may take you to good fortune as well?
 
It seems natural to fear loss and dire events. Many-a-time, I have said there is no loss, yet you still believe fervently in owning and so fear losing.
 
It has long been said that attitude is everything. Certainly your thoughts and emotions rule your life and your conduct in it. Your life is not so much what happens in it as how you meet it. Why be devastated ahead of time? Why be devastated at all?
 
Somehow you have had a perception, and you think your perception is inviolable. You may perceive that, unless you have this or that the way you want it to be, you are worthless. If you lose your job, it’s a blow. Does it have to be? Why couldn’t losing your job be a step up, or even a blessing?
 
If you are homeless, it seems like the end of the world.  It feels like the end of the world, yet nothing is the end of the world. Death is not. I understand, and you understand that there are expectations you have, and without your expectations fulfilled, you are at a loss. If you say you have come down a peg or two, you certainly have. Your value is not dependent upon a job or a mansion or upon homelessness.
 
Fear is a bludgeon that you beat yourself up with. Fear can take you to the edge of a cliff even when there is a treasure beneath your feet. What you think rules your life does not have to be what rules your life.
 
If others can rise up and achieve beyond what the world establishes as against great odds, so can you. Nothing is written in stone. Well, nothing but that you and I are One, and One We Are. Whatever your misperceptions, there is no changing Our Oneness.
 
Let go of belief in dire. If anything is possible, anything is possible. What is there that you cannot be? You are limited by your thoughts, beloveds. Maybe you want to think different thoughts, thoughts filled with more goodness and mercy and downright joy.
 
Be happy today whether the sun is shining or there is a downpour. If you are feeling downtrodden, how happy you would be right now if you could go back to another time in your life even when you were displeased about a day that now you would bless. How happy you can be. Be it. Be happy now, and more happiness will run to you.

Heavenletter #4741 The Human Condition, November 17, 2013 
God said: 
How can you not be compassionate for everyone else who walks on Earth unsure of where to go and what to do? Which human being on Earth knows what is going to befall? From an Earth point of view, there are land mines everywhere of one kind or another. Once My beloved children on Earth stepped out of their door, cautious of wild animals. Now there are buses to watch out for and cars and any number of footfalls.
 
There is no armor to wear. Even steel does not work. Hard hats do not always work. Each day all on Earth wake up to a world that may wound them in one way or another, and hearts are tender.
 
From a human point of view, everyone is brave to wake up in the morning, unknowing of what may befall to themselves and those closest to them and also to so-called strangers.
 
I ask again: How can your heart not be tender to everyone who lives on Earth, in your same house or in a land far away?
 
Everyone wakes from sleep, and everyone has to meet the day whatever it may hold or may not hold.
 
This is what is called the human condition.
 
How can everyone’s heart not support every other? The least everyone can do who walks the Earth is to care about one another.
 
It is true you are all in this life together. Oneness means One with Me, and Oneness means One with everyone and everything.
 
In Truth, beloveds, there are not too many decisions you have to make. You think you have a myriad of decisions to make. Not so. You are to make the world as comfortable a place as you can for all the hearts and souls on Earth. You are not over-solicitous, yet you have in mind that you serve Me, and you serve the Children of God. You serve all the creatures and all the vegetation. You serve the mountains and the planes. You serve as one who serves water. It is not really such a big thing to serve. It is a natural thing.
 
If you open a coconut, you share the coconut and the coconut milk. If you milk a cow or a goat, you share the milk. You do not have to bear a heavy yoke. Not at all. There will be lightness in your step.
 
You merely give back to the Universe all that I have given you. When you have, you give.
 
It is not that you give to the poor. Let there be no poor. Who are you to separate human beings and name them poor?
 
Which man, woman, or child, or animal of the Earth or bird of the sky is to go hungry?
 
Giving takes nothing away from you. It nourishes you.
 
It is better that there is no reason for begging. Benevolence does not mean you are higher than anyone else. Perhaps more fortunate, yes. Higher? No. Make a world where there are no beggars, where there is no such concept as begging. No one is to be a burden who makes others look away.
 
Do those who are sure they have greater merit – do they create beggarliness? Certainly beggars cannot create themselves all alone. Does the world create the more fortunate in order to create the less fortunate?
 
Let everyone wake up in the morning with good will in his heart for all.
 
In the morning, you brush your teeth. Now also cleanse your heart. If everyone left his door with good will in his heart, what would the world be?

Heavenletter #4739 A Refrain from the Past , November 15, 2013 
God said: 
When you are hot under the collar and you feel you have to let off steam, get a punching bag or run two miles. Do not vent your barrage of steam on another living being. At such times, you are too hot to handle.
 
Yes, yes, you may be perfectly right, but what does that have to do with anger? Everyone thinks he or she is right. The true cause of temper is temper, not what someone else says or doesn’t say.
 
It is difficult for you or anyone when another cannot seem to listen to what you are saying, yet no other is the cause of your anger. Whatever is going on stirs up something in the past, and you mix up the present with the past. Let the past recede. It isn’t going anywhere. Let it go. It is your ire and your confusing what happens now with what once happened in the past. You don’t have to relive the past. Reliving the past is putting yourself and others into an unfavorable role.
 
It is like you choose an immutable cast of characters, and it is hard for you to get beyond them. You keep them handy. Truly, dear one, you find a reason to be angry. It seems like it finds you.
 
You know it is never worth it, and, truly, it’s not necessary. Perhaps once you were at the mercy of others, yet, now, you are at the mercy of yourself. You dig up the past and cast the present into the past. No longer paste an old movie reel onto the present. This is what you have been doing.
 
An angel might come your way, and a shadow from the past falls over the angel, and you react, not to the angel before you, but to a semblance from the past. And so you play old-fashioned music as if you had no choice. You do have choice, and it’s for you to exercise it.
 
Never do you want to replay an old scene that didn’t work out well in the first place. Learn a new scene. Rewrite the old. Better yet, simply throw it out and start all over.
 
You want to get out from under. You deserve to get out from under. You deserve a top-notch script.
 
Your old shoes are too tight. They never really fit. They most assuredly don’t fit you now. In fact, go barefoot. The true you doesn’t rant and rave. Nor do you have to. You really don’t favor loss of temper over peace and brotherhood.
 
Others are not to blame for what they may remind you of in the crevices in your mind and heart.
 
Perhaps everyone in the past didn’t honor you. They didn’t listen to you. You were not heard. You did not feel heard.
 
Beloveds, everything is an idea. Let old ideas go. Reach new ideas. Take on the idea that now you are heard. Now you are listened to. And now you listen as well. Now, for a moment, you put aside your wailing heart and listen to your friend whose heart you have battled. Put down your weapons. There is no need to uphold yourself. The perceived need to uphold yourself provides the cry of war.
 
And no longer carry the backlash of the world.
 
Perhaps you strike first so that you are not stricken. It’s all for nothing. War does not make any more sense than pride in dignity does. Let pride in ego go. Ego is not triumph.
 
Yes, dear ones, the past wounds your ego. Your ego does a number on yourself.

Heavenletter #4740 The Momentum Builds , November 16, 2013 

God said: 
Life is a soap opera. What a flair for drama My children have. Life in the world is a whole canvas.
 
Tragedies range from great drama to a collar shrunk in the dryer. Or a lost pen or a lost letter. A tragedy can be anything you say it is. And one tragedy makes room for another. There is a parade of tragedies that then recede.
 
Many of My children do indeed seem to prefer theater to peace. This is a choice. It is like this:
 
When Jack and Jill fell down the hill, there was a momentum, and they fell and tumbled until they hit the bottom of the hill unless it is happened that they caught the trunk of a tree to break their fall.
 
We could say that drama in your life has a momentum that keeps you rolling down this hill of drama. Even at the bottom of the hill, you find more drama, a boo-boo, or perhaps a hidden treasure. Without the fall, how would you have found the treasure!
 
Why is falling down a hill so compelling? Why are you caught up in drama?
 
One reason could be that you are more interested in What Is Happening than in anything else. You may well be caught up in What’s Going On than you are interested in Being. Being is the basis. Happening is what transpires on the surface. On the surface is where drama lies. The surface is where races are run that you can place a bet on and sometimes win. Being is solid, firm, supporting all the activity and possible outcomes. Being is a sure thing even when you forget about it.
 
In one sense, your daily life is filled with drama, from getting stopped at a red light when you are a in a big hurry to running a red light or getting a flat tire or not finding your keys or your wallet. Drama, drama, drama.  
 
Being can be relied on. Being is behind the scenes.
 
In the world, the front lines and headlines steal the show. Nowhere have I spotted a headline that says: “You Are Being.”
 
Nowhere have I heard Hollywood say that Being is the star of all movies. Nowhere has there been a Being Fan Club. Where are the cheers for Being? Hip hip hooray, Being!
 
Being is taken for granted. Of course, it can be! It is always with you. Being doesn’t blow a horn. It doesn’t make a big to-do. Being is not dramatic. Being can be relied on. It is the basis, and it is always steady. How much steadiness do you want in a novel you write?
 
As you aspire to drama, you also aspire to miracles. You want them. You want them badly. Being is everyday, and it is its own miracle, yet Being doesn’t show off. Being is the field of all possibilities, and yet the possibilities intrigue you more than the fount from which the possibilities come.
 
Such is daily life. The temporary assumes great importance while Being is left to fend for itself.
 
You want to have something exciting to tell your neighbor about. And you want your neighbor to tell you all her news!
 
You don’t desire daily trials – or do you? You do want something to tell. Your eyes are on people and news and headlines.
 
And that’s how it is.
 
It is not quite so interesting for you to look within. Yes, you would rather explore outside yourself than within. You would rather move than sit still. This is human life, beloveds. This is what you came to Earth for. And that’s okay. It’s perfectly okay.
 
It’s also okay to think of where you come from and where you are going and to stop and to wonder and to love all the other human beings who shoulder life in the world with you. Hallow-ed be you.

Heavenletter #4738 Oneness of Good Fortune, November 14, 2013 
God said: 
I have many beautiful gifts for you. They are in the wings, and they are addressed to you. Much good fortune is awaiting you.
 
Come pick up your good fortune. Good fortune is yours. It is meant for you. I want you to have it.
 
Have a peek.
 
It is not possible for one person alone to have good fortune. Whatever good fortune you receive, everyone receives the benefit of yours. Whatever raises the spirits on one coast is also received on every other coast. There is Oneness, and there is Oneness of Good Fortune. Whatever benefits one, benefits all.
 
Whatever pulls one down, pulls all down. Whether you know it or not, this is the case. Water rises. The world cannot be selfish. All is shared.
 
Keep your spirits high, if not for yourself, for the world at large.
 
One who wakes up wakes up others.
 
One yawn travels.
 
Like it or not, there is no living for yourself and yourself alone. Whether you like it or not, you share your wealth.
 
You live in a land of plenty. You are the one I count on to raise the consciousness of the world.
 
Everything is a miracle, and nothing is a miracle. All is amazing, yet nothing is amazing. Miracles are natural events. There is not one moment of life that is not a miracle. Every breath is a miracle. You are a miracle.
 
Poverty in the world comes from poverty of spirit. Don’t blame those who are poor. Those who are wealthy may be poor in spirit. One who is poor may be wealthy in spirit. You don’t have everything figured out. I might go so far as to say that you have nothing figured out. Better to know nothing than to think you know it all.
 
In Truth, everything is known.
 
How contrary is life in the world. All is known, and nothing is known. All is in plain sight, and nothing is as it seems, least of all you.
 
You would like to be enlightened, and yet you may not want to open your eyes. You want to stay the same. You want change, yet you do not want to change. You want to hold on to your opinions. You like them, yet your opinions aren’t worth much except to you.
 
Life, in which all things are possible, you are sometimes impossible. Staying in the same place is an impossibility, yet you hold tight, refusing to let go. However, the life force is stronger than your will, and grow you will. Let go, you will, even as you hold on. Try as you may, you hold on to nothing for long.
 
It’s clear to you that everything you put in the fridge does not last interminably.
 
You who do have life eternal hold on to the temporary as if the temporary is the sum total of your existence. You are pulled in directions that you have no idea of. You are far away and close all at the same time. You are near and far, and know not where you are or what you are doing or why you do it.
 
You are an enigma unto yourself. You who are all-knowing squeeze your eyes shut. You may dodge life instead of embracing it.
 
Yet life will get you up and out of your comfortable chair. Life will knock you off balance so that you may gain balance. What you think is balance may be imbalance.
 
Come head to toe with Me. Walk with Me. Ride with Me. Explore with Me. See as I do see. Give as I do give. Reflect Me. Reflect greatness. Enough of smallness. You have outgrown yourself. You are as you perceive. Give more, and you will gain more. Open the windows of your heart. Let fresh air into your heart. Let your heart be free-flowing. What if giving came to be the joy of your life? What if you knew you were meant to give, and that all you give, you pass on from Me. This is how you become My messenger. Be My messenger of love. Right now, be it, and be it forever, for that is My Will.

Heavenletter #4736 The Vastness of Love in Bloom, November 12, 2013 
God said: 
If life is not all about your individual life, and it is not, what are you on Earth for then?
 
Beloveds, you are here to serve.
 
From the moment you were born, you served your parents as their child. You were born for more than yourself. You were born to give service from your heart.
 
At the beginning of your birth, your life included a small circle, and, as you grew, your circle grew. Or, perhaps I should say that your conscious awareness of how far you extended grew. Now you know that your Being and your thoughts encircle the whole Universe and beyond and make all the difference in the world.
 
Beloveds, you transcend yourself.
 
We could say that you are here on Earth for greater than your personal expansion. You are here as a gift for the world and for greater than the world. You are a gift on Earth for Me, beloveds, Certainly, you are here for the growth of yourself. Your heart grows. This means your heart grows to Greater Love until your heart loves without exception, and so you fulfill My plan for the world. You are to usher in Paradise. You make it possible. Your heart reunites all hearts through the love in your heart that thrums the beat of My love.
 
Admit, dear ones, admit that your perception of love has had its smallness, pettiness, stunted growth. I do not speak of your capacity. I speak of your usage, your practice and, most likely, your resistance to love, coming or going. I speak of the development of your heart, its progress, its outreach, its value to all of Heaven and Earth.
 
Do you know that love from your heart is to reach everyone? Everyone alive on Earth today as well as everyone who is no longer on Earth today in his costume.  
 
There will come a time – believe it – when your heart will send out radiance of love, and that is all it will send out. Your heart will do that because you are here to grow in love. Although significant to you, what balance you have in your bank account is of no account. What does count is the love in your heart that you spend. How ornery can it be that you can spend money like water, and yet you stint on love? You conserve your love. Saving your love is a waste of time. It is nonsense. It is against the laws of nature to keep your love in reserve. It is folly. SPEND YOUR LOVE. Just let love rise until it reaches the heights. Let love be your Name as it is Mine. Why not love?
 
We do not speak of a show of love. We speak of True Simple Love that bubbles in your heart and must alight somewhere. We speak of when your heart bursts with love and the only consequence is that there is more love in your heart than you know what to do with, and so you love every creature, great and small. Love goes before you, and love follows you, and you are My instrument of love. No longer do you even resemble the accountant of love you sat yourself down to be.
 
You have observed many levels or layers of love, love with sugar and love with salt. What We are talking about now is pure love like a high note that a great opera singer reaches. The high note is simply there and wants to be sung. The high note has to go somewhere because love is about letting go, letting go of restrictions, letting go of withdrawal and about giving itself away. Of course, this is ironic for the more love you give, the more love that you have to give. You had it all backwards.
 
Who are you really? You are really love. Let go of your attachment to the past and to the future. Keep no records, and you will be the Vastness of love in bloom.

Heavenletter #4737 When Your Feelings Are Hurt , November 13, 2013 
God said: 
What if you accepted everything that came to you as what is supposed to come? What if you did not have to fight it? What if you did not have to push it away? Even when it was something you didn’t like, what if you didn’t have to make anything of it? What if you did not have to fume about it or ache about it? What if whatever happens happens, and that’s all there is to it? What if you do not have to berate anyone for what you didn’t want, not anyone including yourself?
 
This is what is meant by taking life as it comes. You simply don’t make a big to-do about it. You don’t have to go into it. It happened. You don’t have to defend yourself. You do not have to set someone else straight.
 
Whatever happens that you don’t like, what if you would consider it like rain? When you are caught in the rain, you keep going. You pull out an umbrella or you dash into a coffee shop. In any case, you don’t stop in your tracks and rail at the rain or try to figure out how it could rain or wonder what you did to bring the rain.
 
Perhaps you could consider what befalls as too bright sunshine in your eyes? In that case, you would slip on your sunglasses or perhaps cup your hand over your eyes or simply get out of the rays of the sun. You wouldn’t think less of the sun because it blinded you for a moment. You wouldn’t accuse the sun. You wouldn’t try to educate the sun.
 
Look, you would take the rain and the sun in your stride. They would not set you back. They would not stop you in your tracks.
 
And, yet, when someone says something that hurts your feelings, your whole focus seems to alight on your feelings and the unfairness of the person who said something that you take so much to your heart. Must their affront to you, intended or not intended, overtake your equanimity? Must a remark ruin your day? Must you keep thinking about it and thinking of what you should have said and what a nerve the offender had to say what he said and think what he thinks and why do you care so much?
 
By the same token, your day doesn’t have to be made because of great appreciation from someone, as if your life is as dependent upon accolades as it is upon reproaches.
 
What is the difference between someone who says something awful to you and your being taken over by the thought of how awful it is what they said and how they should not have?
 
Maybe the person who offends you didn’t mean to. Or, even if they did mean to, you’ve still got to let go of it. Maybe the people who offend you were offended by something you carelessly or innocently said or did. Take care of that which you can take care of, and then let it go. Maybe a simple “I’m sorry,” is enough, from you to another and from another to you.
 
Beloveds, such matters are not the point of your life. Your existence has to be for greater than what aggravates you.
 
People misunderstand. People mistake. And, dear ones, if your day is made or your day is broken because of what someone else says, then find a way to overcome your super-sensitivity. If you are to react to what every Tom, Dick, and Harry says, then you have to find a way not to be so affected.
 
People who offend you are not mosquitoes that you must slap. A mosquito does get under your skin, yet, even with a mosquito, you don’t let a mosquito bite occupy your thoughts for the rest of your day or the week or for years.

Heavenletter #4735 The Bell Ringer of Enlightenment, November 11, 2013 
God said: 
You are like the good soil that waits to be tilled. You await for Me or someone to make you all that you already are.
 
You are like a blossom on an apple tree. The blossom doesn’t wait for anyone or anything to open its blossoms. It unfurls its blossoms when the time comes.
 
Your time is coming. Your blossoming is on the horizon. Wait no longer. Wear the hat that is yours to wear.
 
Everything is ready, and only your looking up is waited for. You wait when you are already the inceptor of the wonderment that you are. The whole Universe waits for you, and you are waiting for your blossoming to arise. You are waiting for yourself. You yourself are the button you are to push. You are the initiator of your own enlightenment. You wait for Me to come in and set you off. I also wait for the signal from you.
 
You are like the orchestra conductor who is to give the signal. You are the One the whole Universe is waiting for.
 
Would you have Me and the Universe wait for you? Why the delay? When are you going to claim your birthright? You are the dawning sun, and you are to arise to the full sunshine of your God-given light. You are the director of your story. You are the inceptor of your enlightenment. Turn on the lights!
 
The name of your movie isn’t Waiting for Enlightenment. The name of your movie is more like: Ringing the Bell of Enlightenment. You are the one to ring the bell. You are the Bell Ringer of Your Own Enlightenment, and yet you wait for a signal when you are the one to signal that your light has come. You are the fulfiller of your own dreams.
 
It is true that sometimes I come in and shake the bell for you and yet how wonderful when you stay My hand and say:
 
“God, My Father, My Mother, let me serve You. May I anticipate every act of Yours and serve You. You have served me so much, I want to serve You. My heart is full and wishes to express itself. Of course, I want to serve You.
 
“What would mean as much to You, God, as my ringing the bell of my own enlightenment? Of course, I recognize that enlightenment isn’t something that belongs to me. It belongs to You. Surely, I can help you out. I can anticipate Your wishes. I can appear and serve You a glass of water before You tell me. I can take a hint. I can take initiative. I can anticipate Your requests. Right now You request that I open my eyes and see myself in the light that You do. What does it take for me to become self-realized but to realize my Self? You are my Self waiting in the wings of this theater.
 
“You want me to step right up and claim my award.
 
“God, You are my award, only I have to stride across the stage and accept the award You have long held for me.
 
“Certainly, I can go right up to You and accept the award You have long desired me to have.
 
“It is Your happiness that I claim Your Light so that I can serve You with greater strength and greater Light. Above all, my desire is to serve You. May I return to You some of the favor You have given to me and filled me with.
 
“I shine in your bright light. This is enlightenment. I accept the light You have given me. I accept gladly the gifts You gave to me from the moment I was conceived. You are my Creator, and I accept the Badge of Honor You placed in my heart so long ago. You already anointed me, dear God. I am Your Anointed, and, in Your name, I accept.”

Heavenletter #4734 Closer to God Are You , November 10, 2013 
God said: 
What if the way you have thought about someone or something isn’t so absolutely right as you have thought? What if your thinking is askew? What is so important to you that you may feel you must keep the same way of thinking? We are talking about the way you think and the thoughts you have. You always are thinking something.
 
One way of thinking doesn’t have to be your lifeline. Your way of thinking is a precursor to the unfolding of your life. There are many ways of thinking. Be open to new ways of thinking or rethinking.
 
It is possible to think differently from the way you always have. You do not know the sum total of everything or anything, beloveds. Because you think a certain way doesn’t make what you think true – except it’s true to you. What you think, what you conclude, what you fear may indeed predicate your life. A thought process may be set in motion which will make your way of thinking come true, and, therefore, seem to prove true.
 
The way you think may not be all conclusive. You can have dooming predictions that do not come true, yet, meanwhile, you lived through dooming predictions. You could see and feel wonderful events that do not come true or have not yet come true. Meanwhile, however, you had uplifting thoughts that weigh their weight in gold. Uplifting thoughts carry you forward. Uplifting thoughts influence your take on life and, therefore, your life itself.
 
Fear not. Predict the life you want with the thoughts you choose. Who is better than you to predict what your life is going to look like.
 
You live by your thoughts. Your thoughts are your guide to life. What are your thoughts? Where do your thoughts take you? What thought leads to another? Your fate is not sealed. Your destination to be wholly with Me is irrefutable. Your destination is to be wholly with Me. There is no stopping that outcome. Let your outlook be equal to the outcome that is bound to come.
 
By no means is fate only strokes of luck. Your words, your thoughts steer your perception of life. In any case, you are the one who stirs your life and steers your life in the way it will go. You, and you alone are accountable for your life. Make Me your partner.
 
What may seem random is not random, or it may be random from anything you can see. And, no matter, what occurs in your life occurs, you make of it what you will.
 
Remember the theme of your life is to move forward. Moving forward forebears analysis. It is a foregone conclusion that life will lead you somewhere. You do influence your life and the lives of those around you.
 
Many relationships are like skirmishes. Choose a direction in your life, and move toward the direction you chose. You may not control your life much or at all, and yet you choose the direction you go in.
 
Choose happiness by the direction of your thoughts. Choose good will for yourself and others. Be the bird who leads a V-formation. And if you are a bird that is in the back of the V, meanwhile, go with the flock that knows where it is going which is, forward. Leave behind you what is behind you and move forward.
 
Do you hesitate? Regardless, you will move forward. Leap forth rather than be dragged. Make your choice to leap forward. Opportunity is right around the corner. Let go of the past and leap forward. The more you leap forward, the closer you are to Me.

Heavenletter #4733 Action Arises from Consciousness, November 9, 2013 
God said: 
Please forgive yourself for any wrongs you have done. They may pang your heart now. At the time, you thought you were right, or you didn’t think. Now you are ahead of the game. Is that to rue and regret?
 
It used to be that the world thought that I was a God Who punished. Punisher, I am not. I have other matters to take care of rather than trying to catch you in a what is called a wrongful act. Without exception, you did the best you could at the time. Even if you robbed a bank and you knew that robbing was not admirable, you were doing the best you could at the time, so-called time.
 
Beloveds, you were guilty of ignorance. You were numbed in awareness. You were short-sighted. Do we persecute the blind for being blind or the deaf for being deaf or the poor in heart to be poor in heart or errant thinking for being errant? The deed itself is punishment enough, yet punishment is not what is required.
 
Of course, I understand the predicaments that exist in the world. Lawlessness cannot be supported. This is well-understood. Love has not yet been deep enough to withstand error. We are not talking about leniency or the idea that anything goes. Truly, a show of love is not love. Forgiveness is not a mere act nor a mere wish. It is a deed of consciousness.
 
Beloveds, raise your own consciousness, and you will raise the world. Erase selfishness and self-righteousness from your heart and where is it that offense can land? Nowhere.
 
Remember We speak of compassion not as a common sense of feeling sorry for. Compassion is not about feeling sorry. You may feel sorry for others, yet you are equally responsible for allowing self-centeredness to grow. The need for punishment may be seen as the only way in the world to separate those who commit crimes from those who do not commit the assigned crimes and upon whom crimes are committed. There is a fine line of separation, beloveds. All are responsible even if indirectly, yet responsible just the same.
 
If mold grows, a culture has grown to foster it. Maybe no one wants it. Maybe everyone frowns upon it. Yet in certain conditions, mold grows. Are not hurtful acts a kind of mold? How can you hold others exclusively responsible for what you do not approve of and you, alone, responsible for the good you do? How can you rightfully take credit for your own good choices and assign blame to others? You are responsible for the world you live in. Furthermore, you are responsible for the world you leave behind you. You are also responsible for the world you found.
 
The thinking and picturing and posturing of man bears responsibility. This is not a new thought.  
 
The thoughts of humankind are also responsible for the rain, for the floods and for the droughts. It is not new to consider that you contribute to poverty as well as to prosperity. Be careful of whom you call the enactor and whom you call the victim. All are enactors, and all are victims. One way or another, the caliber of your thoughts and the degree of harmony of your life, or the disharmony, are responsible for the world you live in. You share with your brother.
 
Above all, remember that you have to forsake blame. Blame accrues to past acts and thoughts. Responsibility is right now. Living in the now means responsibility and not blame. Do you read Me, beloveds? Do you get what I am saying?
 
The perpetrator and the perpetrated alike share responsibility. In Heaven, there is no such thing as guilt. On Earth, guilt flaunts itself. If you must, have a moment’s guilt and move on. Within an error lies forgiveness and redemption for the error. In the awareness of error that has to come from within lies its forgiveness. Error and blame are two different things, yet you are to get past both.

Heavenletter #4732 Pull Up the Shades of Your Heart, November 8, 2013 


God said: 
Beloveds, today is the day in front of you, so love it. Set yourself up for a great day! Anticipate it. Welcome it. Treat it with respect. Hail it. Make today a shining day, a golden day.  
 
Why not a holy day today? What not a day today when you listen to the beat of My heart? Why not a day today that awes you, has you dancing with joy, right with Me where I AM right with you?
 
Why not an uncanny day? Why not today a day that you take on as your emboldened golden partner in evolution? There are many steps of evolution. You will experience many.
 
Every day can be a heyday. A lot depends upon how you greet the day. You do recognize that you are the host to today? Welcome today whatever today may look like. Give today a comfortable seat in your heart. Nourish it.
 
Just as a day may start overcast and the sun bursts forth, so can you be part of this day’s blossoming into full sunshine.
 
Today is a precious day no matter what it looks like or seems to presage. Like an umbrella on a windy rainy day, today can turn inside out and reveal its tender underbelly. In any case, be more concerned with how you treat today rather than how today seems to treat you. You don’t know everything, not by a long shot.
 
Never were you told to welcome only sunny days that seem to fall onto their knees for you.
 
You are not an old-time cop who directs traffic, starting and stopping it.  In fact, your responsibility to today is to bless it and wave it forward. You harbor today and do not go by its appearance. Today, offer your heart as a haven for everyone you meet.
 
Meet today with anticipation of My appearing before you today. Look for Me. Listen to My Voice. Encourage today to shine in all its glory. And, if you see today as a dark day, pull up the shades of your heart and welcome it anyway.
 
Today is a day of your life. A day of your life! It brings you precious cargo. Look for it. Do not look for trouble. Look for sprouts of love to grow. Be you a grower of love. With love burgeoning in your heart, can you be downcast? Love is an inviter. Love nourishes you, your day, everything. You may be disappointed that today isn’t your favorite day. Well, then, let today be water rolling off your back.
 
Despite the darkness of any one day, the sun is shining just the same. Beloveds, do not close the door on any day. Even in the depths of life lie the heights of life. Be open to today and find the blessings in it. If you can find tragedy, you can also find blessing. You can be sure that no matter how difficult you may see the presentation of today, somewhere within it, sunshine and gold sparkle. This is inevitable.
 
Even if today seems like the darkest day of your life, it has a gift for you. Today itself is a great gift, and it is a day to strengthen your heart and therefore your awareness, and, therefore, your power. At the very least, you are strength being tempered. Steel is stronger than iron. You are being treated to growth, and grow you will. Consider life as a foundry where you find your mettle. Your mettle is Greatness, beloveds.
 
You don’t just grow one way. There are many ways to grow. The day is coming when you will rise every day to meet the sun.

Heavenletter #4731 Joy Is the Path, November 7, 2013 

God said: 

There is a difference between having a strong will and being willful. In both cases, you have determination. Willfulness tends to be ego-ness. You want your way. You are determined to have your way. Perhaps you are used to having your way or perhaps you seldom have your way. Either can be your motivation.

 

When life or someone does not allow you to have your way, then be gracious. This is the meaning of being a good sport. Being gracious isn’t giving up or caving in. It is letting go. You do not lose by letting go. Letting go is the opposite of holding on to that which has perhaps already left your grasp.

 

It is better to let go of the concept of your way or someone else’s way. You are not conceding defeat. It is not like that at all. Perhaps the one who concedes is the winner.

 

Let Us think of generosity of spirit rather than concession.

 

Life itself may not grant you what you desire as yet, and how do you know when to hold on and when to loosen your grip?

 

Great discoveries have been made by those who persisted. Is persisting the same as holding on? When you find joy in pursuing, let Us call that persistence. Joy and success are not necessarily the same. Let Us consider joy the path and success an outcome. You do have to have joy. You do not have to have the outcome you desire.

 

The thing is to not hold on because you are determined to hold on for the sake of holding on. You may set out to prove a scientific fact. That is one thing, yet you don’t have to hold on or hold out to prove you deserve to have your way.

 

You may well not know what is the way to go. You may desire someone to continue to love you. Your desire is not to override another’s desire. You may have strong desire to be close to another, and you do not have that right. In this case, think of letting go as allowing another to make his or her own choices. You do not have the right to make choices for anyone but yourself. It is not for you to take prisoners now, is it? Force is not desirable.

 

Let go of that which you have no business to clutch in the first place. You do not rope in others. You are free to let go, and others are free to go where they will. And, if another wants to encroach on you. you also are free to not be encroached on.

 

You have every right to have your desires, and everyone has every right to be free to follow his or her own desires.

 

You are learning generosity of spirit. What else is there to learn in life? Call it love or call it whatever you will, love is generosity of spirit. It is giving others their own space. Ah, yes, space does not exist, and yet you must give it. You must give everyone his own breathing room. Hold no captives. Love means giving freedom. Love does not mean holding on or clasping or grasping or bending another’s will to your own.

 

Letting go is growing. Letting go is freeing. Yes, sometimes you have growing pains, yet you are here on Earth to grow. Do not make a fist in order to hold tightly. All on Earth have to dance to their own tune even when it does not coincide with yours.

 

The sun shines as it shines. The sun may not shine on a day when you want it to. You cannot really demand of the sun. Who are you to make demands of the sun? The sun is free to shine on you. Do you really want the sun to be at your command?

 

You do not hold sway over another human being either.

 

Give yourself the freedom to be free and to free all others. This is great progress, and, one way or another, you will choose freedom for yourself and for others. Do I not give you free will?

Heavenletter #4730 Life Is Good for You, November 6, 2013 

God said: 
Worry not. Fear not. Love all that you presently may fear. What makes sense but to come from love? What is there to do but to welcome what comes? Everything comes with its blessings, and, so, when it comes, be hospitable. You are the host, and what transpires in life is the guest, and so you are generous.
 
In terms of people, you well understand by now that appearances aren’t everything. Not at all. You know to look at the light in the eyes of all you meet rather than his clothes.
 
There is benefit to gain from everything. Even illness, accidents. They make you stop in your tracks. They make you say, “Whoa. Slow down. Take a look at what’s going on.” There is something to gain and something to learn. In whatever way the course of your life goes, there is a rainbow at the end of it.
 
This includes death of the body -- and acne. However you may look at what may trouble you, there is another way to look at it.
 
You may ask: “Even pain, God? I should welcome pain?”
 
At least, beloveds, make peace with it. There is more to pain than pain. And you are more than your life on Earth.
 
Let go of trying to find reasons for everything that befalls. That will be an endless pursuit. You will not be able to reconcile it all. Everything that befalls is a great equalizer. Death of the body reaches everyone you know or don’t know. Death doesn’t mean you did something wrong and that someone who continues to live did right. It is a state of life that the body leaves. It comes with the territory. It is an experience like any other, for every experience opens you up to something new, ever onward and upward. Consider yourself a picture of your DNA as you spiral up in perfect form.
 
Dwell not on the past, whether past life or the past of this life. Life on Earth and so-called death on Earth are both rewards, beloveds. There are no punishments. Life is good for you, and death of the body is also good for you. Someone who is alive is not more worthy than someone who has died. What an opportunity life gives you to let go of appraisals. Appraisal is perhaps a more gentle word for judgment. Ranking anything is judgment, beloveds. Everyone has first place with Me. I see no contradiction, but you do.
 
You fulfill your life as best you know. You are learning. You are learning to live, and you are learning to let go. You were not born full-grown. All are learners. All are traveling a new path with twists and turns that they walk on as best they can. As illusory time goes on, their best becomes wiser and easier to do. It is only natural. Perhaps not best across the board because there are moments of grace and moments of displeasure, grace becoming greater and displeasure becoming less.
 
Life is a precious process. Your life is a precious process. And you are precious to Me regardless of wherever you find yourself or lose yourself on the way. You do come to the rainbow.
 
Life is a continuum. There is no end to it. And life is always, and it never had a beginning. If you are Eternal and Infinite, you always were so just as surely as you will always be, not in your present form and identity, for you always transcend your individual concerns which may be named ego, an aspect of life that you are, as best you can, little by little, letting go of.

God is always bringing us closer to Him.
Heavenletter #4729 Rays of God’s Light , November 5, 2013 

God said: 
Consider that, in life, you are on a cruise. The cruise ship stops at certain ports of call, and you look around and enjoy, return to the ship and stop somewhere else and so on until the ship takes you back right to where you started from. This is Home, and this is Heaven.
 
For a while, you explore the world, and you discover whatever you discover, return Home, and then take another cruise. No cruise is like any other. Even the same people on the same cruise experience their travels differently. Pretty much everyone enjoys his tour tremendously, and yet has plenty of complaints and sometimes wishes he had never left Home in the first place. And, so, on the tour, you pretty much alternate between joy and plaints, as if they were rungs of a ladder you are climbing. Perhaps you are climbing a ladder, for each rung lifts you higher.
 
Some climb fast, some climb slowly. Nevertheless, in every single case, everyone climbs. Everyone finishes his tour at the same stop, and yet everyone has grown since he first stepped on board this great ship of life.
 
Some aspire high, and reach their heights. Some have high hopes, and their hopes are unrealized. Oh, well, there will be another time. Before you finish your cruises, you will have traveled a lot. You will have widened your horizons. Whatever the world might think of your trek across the Universe, you will not be the same person who first boarded the ship. You will have grown from your experiences. Just as you cannot step in the same place in a flowing river, so you cannot step off the ship the same as you began. A traveler travels, and a traveler grows, and something wonderful happens.
 
In life, no matter how contracting it may sometimes seem, there is always expansion. In terms of growth, you do not stay still one moment. The name of the game on Earth is change, and indeed you change. With every breath, you change. Even on a plateau, you are changing.
 
Sometimes you travel first class. Sometimes you work on the crew. Sometimes you feel seasick, and sometimes you are hardy as an oak. Sometimes, seemingly alas, you fall overboard, yet, on this cruise, all is well. Everyone reaches the same destination. How you reach your destination, doesn’t seem to matter all that much. Oh, yes, the world makes a hierarchy of incipient events, yet it all comes out in the wash.
 
Status is something that is thought of in the world your body occupies now. Status doesn’t cohabit in Heaven. All the names such as Archangel and such are names instituted in the world. In Heaven, such titles do not exist. One angel fulfills one aspect of love and another angel fulfills another. You might call these responsibilities. All are necessary. All are good. Whether you conduct a chorus or guide a specific human being, status does not go along with it. Status is a foreign concept in Heaven.
 
Do I not see each of you as One? Would I see less with angels? Angels, like you, spread My light, only they are more focused on it. Angels don’t have all the distractions My children on Earth do. I don’t think less of one than I do another. I look upon Archangels and cherubs alike. Remember that angels are rays of My light, and you, even as you are less clear on this, you too are rays of My light, and My light is My light wherever it appears. I see clearly, and, wherever I look, I see My Self, My Very Self, and I gaze with love.

Heavenletter #4728 Ode to Life, November 4, 2013 

God said: 
Language can be straight on, and it can be as elusive as life itself.
 
There is no time to waste. There is no time to waste because there is no time. Time does not exist, so how can it be wasted? Much of the illusion in the world that is portrayed by speech or misconstrued by speech, is all made up and sanctioned as true, blessed as true. There is even scientific verification of all that which cannot be verified except as the unverified is wildly verified.
 
The passage of time that is experienced on Earth is very much like falling through space, and, yet, space does not really exist either, and, yet, space is part of the excitation of life on Earth.
 
Everything on Earth certainly seems real. It is accepted as real. How would you manage on Earth without credence to the fiction that is called real yet is not? To go somewhere, you have to take a direction. How would you find 3rd Street unless you paid attention? Directions are given, and recipes are followed, and all is fiction at the same time as fiction’s beauty is real and love is real and so much of the non-reality stirs within you remembrance of Me.
 
Yes, of course, I, too, am in the details. I am the Underlying Reality, and, along with you, I play in the field of Earth. We commune, you and I, no matter what. Nothing keeps us apart. Wherever you seemingly are, I AM. Where you seemingly are not, I AM. Even though there is no where, I am everywhere. Nothing that you believe exists may exist, and yet I exist within everything.
 
We walk on Earth despite its negligibility. It can be said that We walk on air, the very air you breathe on Earth and that I gave you to breathe for the sake of the body which does not altogether exist except in overt dimension in the world which, in truth, is dimensionless. No wonder you live in a quandary. Slippery is the ground under your feet, for, even as I say all this, there is no ground under your feet even as gravity seemingly holds you.
 
The only foundation of Earth is I. Evidence of Me is seen, and yet I Who make all the material am not material. And, yet, human life is deep, and human life is worthwhile, and human life, even as it is a passing illusion, serves Reality well. Through unreality, you come to Reality which is I and which is you.
 
Long live life, this exploration of figurativeness. Hail to life. Ode to life. Ode to the beating hearts who live life and make it worthwhile, make it dear, make it lively, this temporary passage on Earth that is a deep-seated dream, a conclusion drawn, a will o the wisp, is a learning experience regardless. Yes, you learn a lot in this fiction you live. You tell a story, and it is a story worth telling.
 
There is no up and there is no down for such directions do not really exist, and, just the same, your life goes up, and your life goes down, and your fictitious physical life is for something, and you make it true while it lasts, not only actualized but worthwhile, purposeful, life-defining, even as definition doesn’t really mean anything more than direction does, and yet, and yet, life is so, and life is valuable, and life which is ongoing and unforgettable is forgotten and sinks through the space that does not exist either, yet how important, how necessary this fiction on Earth is to mankind, and to you, and to Me even as there is non-material life greater than life on Earth, for this greater is Eternal, and you are Eternity and Infinity rolled into One.

Heavenletter #4727 In God You Trust, November 3, 2013 
God said: 
There is the expression – a leap of faith. Faith is not a leap. Faith is faith, or it is not. I do not say that I have a leap of faith in you. I know you better than you know yourself, so My faith in you is intact. As sure as, in the world, as day follows night, My faith in you is. It is no leap. It is no little jump. What you might call faith is My knowing. I know Who you are, Why you are. I know you ARE.
 
It is not an exaggeration to say that, if you fall, I catch you. You do not know how many times I have caught you before a fall. On the other hand, from your observation post, you do see people who, to your eyes, are not caught in advance. They do fall. Events such as death of the body, considered the worst of all, happens and other such sorties as illness, accidents, mishaps, happens. How can it be said that God always catches you when, at any moment, anything can befall. There are occasions such as tsunamis and tornadoes or a car skids.
 
Who is safe in the world? And, yet, I maintain that you are always in My arms of love.
 
You turn your head, and you may think: “In terms of my life, God, death is the only sure thing. There are obituaries every day. Death is not idle. Frankly, God, I fear death. It comes announced or unannounced, and yet it will find me, and then I will be no more on Earth.”
 
Beloved Children, you will no longer occupy a body on Earth.
 
Anyway, it is not a bad trade. You have been known to cry out for death, willing and happy to be done with it, to be done with your fear of death. In fact, death of the body is a good trade for what awaits you, awaits you in its good time. It is hard for you to yet catch on that death IS life, that there is no end to life, only change in what is called form. The only life that is real is the life of the soul. Your soul never weeps. Your soul grasps everything. It is a certainty that you are soul, and that nothing averse can happen to you. What has happened to you is your faith in the body as if the body is real and your sustenance.
 
You are greater than a survivor. Anyway, what kind of ambition is it to survive. You really want to live, and live you do with your arguments and all.
 
Have trust in soul. Have trust in Being. Although death of the body ensues, I always catch you. You can count on Me. You can count on the fact that I exist, and I exist in you, and I have never not existed or not existed in you. In God you trust is not just a slogan. It is the very fact of life. Trust in love. Trust in My love. You can count on it. You cannot count on the body. Don’t confuse Me with bodily concepts. The body, no matter how precious to you, no matter how you seem to depend upon it, is only flesh and bone. Depend upon something greater than that.
 
At the same time, congratulate your body. It is a little car you drive for a while. Even as you drive the car of your body, your mastery lies in Our unconditional soul. You may be clueless, beloveds, yet you are never ever soul-less. You are Being.

Heavenletter #4726 Earth, Rise to Heaven, November 2, 2013 
God said: 
If you did not compare your life to another’s, you would never feel sorry for yourself. If you do ever feel sorry for yourself, then you do compare yourself to others.
 
If you did not compare, you would appreciate that which accompanies you.
 
You could live outside under a tree, and you would not think: “If only I could have a little house.”
 
And if you have a little house, and you saw a marble house, you would not think: “If only I could have a house made of marble.”
 
And if you did not compare, you would not think: “Why aren’t my children as bright as Mrs. So and So’s children who win all the prizes?”
 
You would not think: “I wish I could be as slim and as beautiful as that movie star.”
 
If you did not compare, you would not bemoan what you see as loss.
 
And there is the other side as well. If you are prosperous and you did not compare yourself to others, you would not think: “How lucky I am to be prosperous, and my brother is not.”
 
If you were beautiful, you would not think: “How lucky I am to be the fairest of all!”
 
And if you were in perfect health, you would not think: “I am so glad to be perfectly healthy while my neighbor is so ill.” You would be glad, yet you would not make the comparison.
 
If you did not compare, you would neither compare up nor would you compare down.
 
But you do compare, and vanity is rife.
 
But you do compare, and there is judgment.
 
But you do compare, and there are threads of envy or threads of pity.
 
If you are hungry, you would be hungry, yet if you compare yourself to others who have full stomachs, you might resent or begrudge others their full stomachs when your stomach is empty.
 
If you did not compare, would you ever be unhappy or annoyed?
 
It seems to Me that if comparisons were not made, everyone would eat. Everyone would be beautiful. It seems to Me that no one would lack, and all would be right with the world. So it seems to Me.
 
What would not be right with the world when comparisons go out the window?
 
Who would know poverty?
 
Who would not know how blessed he is? Who would not be content with life and know the fullness of it?
 
There would be no with’s and no without’s. There would be no have’s and have not’s.
 
One could still be ambitious, yet ambition would not be competitive. There would be no cutthroats. There would be no cops and robbers. There would be no perceived need for them.
 
There would be no academy awards. There would be no five-star ratings and no two star-ratings.
 
Every student would do his best in school from his inner desires.
 
Without comparison, where would malcontent exist?
 
Now, let Me make clear that no one would be unaware of what another has or another does not have, yet it would not be looked at in terms of more or less. It also seems to Me, that if there were not comparisons and pride, there would not be prejudice, and, without prejudice there would be more for everyone and not less.
 
Love would take the place of comparison. Helpfulness would rise. Sharing would come into its own.
 
A whole lot of stress and strain would be removed from the world and the hearts of all.
 
Comparison, be gone. Earth, rise to Heaven. Angels do not think that God loves another more regardless of what their roles may be. Angels do not covet, nor does any angel feel overlooked.
 
All will be well on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Heavenletters™ -- Helping Human Beings Come Closer to God and Their Own He

Heavenletter #4725 How the Great Spiritual Ones Loved, November 1, 2013 

God said: 
There is nothing for you to give but love. There is nothing but love to give. And love is not an inducement, you understand. Love is for no purpose but for itself. Love is not a transaction. It is not a deal in the world. It is not really a handshake. A bargain isn’t made. Love is given, or it is not.
 
Listen to the word I used. I said love is given, or it is not love. Love is not a barter. Love is not a contract. And, yet, love is more than felt. Love can be felt one moment and then not another. Felt is good, yet love can be felt and love can also not be felt.
 
Of course, you long to have love vibrant in your heart. You may equate love with love madly felt.
 
Let Us talk of love then in My terms. How did Buddha love? How did Christ love? How did all the Great Ones love? How shall We describe it? Their love was there for all to partake of, and yet it was not personal love that is told of.
 
Their love was not duty-bound. Their love was, and it was there, and the Great Ones served their love.
 
We could speak of them as servants, as waiters. They served. They gave. They gave noticeably, and they gave without effort. The Great Ones were not attached to their love. We could even say that they thought nothing of it. It was as if I had hired them. They had to serve, and yet were not attached. They gave freely, not to fulfill their conscience or to fill a role. They gave as naturally as they might cast their eye.
 
They never had a thought of not loving, and yet they were not thinking: “Oh, wow, I am love. I know how to give love, and I sure give it.”
 
Love was not an accomplishment to them. They simply loved. Filled with My love, they gave it without thought of giving love. They gave great love because they were great love. They did not wear love like a diadem, and, yet, even so, We can say they were crowned with love. We could say they were large-watted light bulbs. There was no turning on their love anymore than there was any turning off their love.
 
They simply were who they were. That was no more to that than that.
 
They revealed love. Their love was seen, and, from their love, something grew in the eyes of all that saw their love. All who saw the love of the Great Ones were ennobled. Spoken or not, consciously recognized or not, those who saw the Great Ones’ love desired to be that love too and to express it. This is what it is to experience love.
 
Love is not squandered. It does not go here and not there, nor does love parade itself. If a light is on, it is on. And if a light shines, like the sun, it shines on all. Love is not special. It is simply love.
 
Love is not doting.
 
Love is not adorned.
 
Love does not require bright gems, for love itself is a bright gem itself that simply sparkles in the light of love.
 
For the Great Ones, love was. For the Great Ones, love was like the loaves and fishes multiplied for all.
 
When someone came into a room, the eyes of the Great Ones lit up. Others’ hearts swelled, and their eyes could only light up. And so love is carried like the light it is, and there is no burden to it, and there is no losing love that is given and received so easily. Once given, love is given. The Great Ones walked on. A lover can walk on, and the love remains just the same.

Heavenletter #4724 The Truth of Your Self , October 31, 2013 
God said: 
There is no loss. You think you have loss. To you, it is incontrovertible that you have loss. As you see it, you lose your youth. You lose loved ones. You may lose hope.
 
Nothing is lost. Inside, you are still young. The heart of you doesn’t age. Age is something you buy into. In the extant world, everything changes, and you count that as loss. Everything in the world is a passing fancy. It is illusion, convincing illusion, and yet illusion. How you believe in illusion. How well you are attached to it.
 
You talk about physical appearances. It is the temporary physical that you are attached to. You are talking about time and space which do not exist in the first place and are hardly possible to lose when they are a mirage, and, yet you are attached to time and space as if flashing time and space anchor you. In physical terms, time and space let you down. Inevitably, they let you down.
 
You also talk about gain. You gain pounds. You gain money. You gain happiness for a while only to lose it again because you do not know that happiness is your very Being. You are attached to will-o-the-wisps.
 
In truth, you have everything and nothing to gain. You believe deeply in temporary things when all you are and all you desire are already yours if you could but believe, but, of course, you believe seeing is believing. Seeing misleads you. Belief is a perception as well. Truth is something else. Believe in Truth, beloveds. Believe in your unconquerable soul. Believe in Eternity and Infinity. Believe in your Self. Know the Truth about you. The Truth is not events. The Truth is not what you did. The Truth is not what seemingly has been done to you. Truth is unchanging.
 
You are not all what you reduce yourself to. Yes, you have a body, yet you are not your body. Yes, you have a name, yet you are not your name. Yes, you have a mind, yet you are not your mind. You are beyond your mind. You are beyond all you perceive and conceive. Heart and mind are not really contrary. Your mind is a vehicle. It is a kind of radar. Senses the same. Your heart is in tune with Me.
 
In one sense, everything on Earth is a blessing, even what you call hard times, even what you call misfortune, even what you call tragedy. Being alive on Earth is a blessing, and yet you call blessing by other names. You do not persist in the realization that you are a blessing and that you bless. You call yourself a fool or a rogue or one who complains, as if these names can be the sum of you. You are vaster. You are vaster than any thought you have.
 
Not even your thoughts belong to you. You believe in your thoughts that are far-fetched. You hold thoughts tight. You harbor them. You haven’t scanned far enough to reach Truth. You haven’t been able to get a handle on it. You have not yet been able to be true to your Self. You haven’t known enough to be true to your Self. You have absconded from Truth. You take everything else seriously, so seriously, and Truth, well, you skim over Truth. It is not yet in your grasp.
 
Frankly, you may well not know what’s up. You don’t know who you are. You don’t know that you ascend. You pull yourself down and cry, “Foul.” You may well give too much credence and importance to others and to many trifling things that mean nothing, nothing at all.
 
You are the meaning, beloveds, and you are far more than the surface of life. You are life. You are spectacular. You are Being. I ask you to know the Truth of your Self.

Heavenletter #4723 You Are Beautiful Waves of Creation , October 30, 2013 
God said: 
A question often asked Me is: “God, but how did You become God? Who created You? How did You get here?”
 
Yes, I understand your question.
 
I always was. There never was a time I was not.
 
I am before time.
 
I am original energy. I am energy welling up. I am the same energy I ever was. From energy burst through more energy, and, so, from energy, Creation burst through in a multitude of ways.
 
I multiplied, and so I have told you to go forth and multiply. Yes, I asked you to go forth and multiply yourself as I multiplied Myself. Yes, bear children and keep Creation going. At the same time, however, I mean more than multiplying physical Creation. I intend the multiplication of love. Bear love across the Universe, and make everything beautiful.
 
What value is physical Creation without the benefit of love? As a matter of fact, Creation on any level exists only with love. Anything less than love is subterfuge. It is a hoax. There is no Creation without love.
 
We are speaking now of expansion. Love wells up. It does not multiply itself in squares or straight objects, you understand. It wells up in fullness. Love is round-bellied, so to speak. No, not in straight lines but in curves, curves that could be called waves. Creation furls and unfurls in waves, and you are beautiful waves of Creation. Creation creates the Creator. There is one deed appearing as many. Creation swells with joy and with beauty and with nature. All of life expands, and you expand.
 
Sometimes you have growing pains, so to speak. You have to stretch. Sometimes you are unwilling to stretch, and, yet, one way or another, you stretch. In this one moment of Eternity, you are Infinity full of Itself.
 
I paint a pretty picture here. There is nothing more beautiful. With existence came beauty. Love came first and added constituents of itself called trees and flowers and land and water and infinite growing things. The nature of life is to grow, and so you were born on a little planet called Earth, and Earth evolves, and you evolve. We are full-blown Welling, Wellness, and Oneness, and We meet Our One Self and say, “How do you do?”
 
There is no depletion. Science has long known that energy is not destroyed. Energy can only be energy. There is not somewhere for energy to go, and, so, it soars and swims and takes delight in itself and all its ramifications. Energy bears not judgment. Remember this is a good thing. Energy simply does what energy does, and it grows, it expands, and it manifests itself in the world, and it visits itself upon you.
 
Often you have questioned the purpose of existence, including your seeming own, and the answer is for expansion and expression of love. Good grief, what else would there be for love to do? Never was love meant to go into hiding or to mask itself or to dissemble. The energy of love is pure, and all energy is love. Everything in the world wants to get together and enjoin itself. Creation meets itself on its way to everywhere, even as there is nowhere.
 
Creation is like a song sung. Where does the song exist? It is sung, and the sound fades at the same time as it stays in your ears and in your heart. Your heart is everything, beloveds. You are My Heart singular in its beauty. You are the breath of My breath. You are My Soul visited upon the Earth eager for it. Ah, you are a Creation of Love created by a Creator of Love, and Love reigns. Anything else, all the concrete, does not.

Heavenletter #4722 Love Soars and Fear Disappears, October 29, 2013 
God said: 
Your mind and your habits of thinking signal to you that that there is difficulty. Regardless of what befalls, you would be problem-free if you had not so well-learned the concept of difficulty. You would be as free as a bird if you had not learned well that life is composed of difficulties and you have to be on the alert. How well you learned danger and aversion to it. It is as if you planted an alarm within you, an alarm that alerts you constantly.
 
You were born into a world that taught you ideas of right and wrong, and that challenges in life were wrong, unbidden, unfavored, as if you were not to grow, as if there were a limit set on growth, as if life were to expand so far and no further, that safety was primary and living life really was to be avoided, averted, opposed to you.
 
There is no doubt about it. You can look at life as though it were treacherous and uncalled for. You can look at injustice and cruelty. They are not hard for you to see. And so you make judgment. All this judgment was cultured into you. You were not born with it. You were born innocent. You were born with the prediction of goodness and care. You were born to thrive and not to retire from life as it comes, as it happens.
 
What if, as a child, you knew only love and did not become acquainted with fear? What if you were not confined and made to cry? What if you were greeted totally with love and encouragement and knew nothing else?
 
This does not mean you would be savage or spoiled. You would have your own way in the sense that love is your way. What if there were no repression, no punishment, no correction except for love?
 
What health you would have, what vision, what joy in life. Joy in life is what you would have learned and what you would give unabashedly. What happiness, what laughter, what consideration. How you would embrace life and be embraced by it.
 
Alas, this is not how life has been cultured, and, so now, culture well-being for yourself. Love yourself now. Put balm on your wounds, and heal them. Be good-natured once again, and be good-natured to yourself.
 
The world found fault with you. You have had enough of the concept of fault. There is no fault except a stamp imposed upon you. Love blossoms you, and yet love finds no fault to improve. With more love, the concept of being improved would not exist. Not even approval would exist. There would be no need for it. Nothing would have to be made better. What for? You are a beautiful viable human being who, too often, was being improved, and that may have been to your detriment. Disapproved of, you were not improved. You were hampered.
 
Where is freedom when you are cramped? Perhaps your sense of self-worth wasn’t allowed to grow as your feet might not if they were always cramped in too tight shoes. Everyone has awareness of not cramping the body, yet when it comes to heart, cramping may be the order of the day.
 
Let there be an end to this. Substitute enjoyment, laughter, appreciation instead. Let everyone be free. With freedom, there would be no need for license. There would be no need of recrimination or going too far. There would not even be need for love because love would soar on its own. All would come down to the knowledge that love is all, and that is all there is. What a comfort that would be. Love would be like a warm quilt in winter, and it would be a fair breeze in summer. Love would soar, and fear would disappear.
 
Then you would be able to look at the world and say that all is good, for good is all you would know.

Heavenletter #4721 The Terrain of Yourself , October 28, 2013 
God said: 
To what do you make yourself accountable? To the world? To yourself? To Me?
 
Why make yourself accountable? There is more to life, much more than making yourself accountable. You already count. You are here on Earth for a reason. You fulfill a purpose. There is nothing you have to prove. You already exist. You are. You are here for Me, and, yet, you are here for more rampantly than for Me.
 
You serve Me whether you know it or not. And, whatever you think, you serve the world, and you serve yourself. There is no accounting to be made. It is enough – you count. You count. You encompass. Your service is vast.
 
You are a keeper of destiny. You are a keeper of hearts. You are a keeper of My heart.
 
You are a commuter, beloved. You scale the heights. You hit the lows. You speak to life, and you are a maker of life.
 
You may feel like a combatant. Nevertheless, you are a compatriot. You are heart and soul. You are very much into life, even when you mean to keep a distance. There is no escaping life. You are here for life, and life is here for you, purposeful even when you know your purpose not.
 
You propose to life, and you suppose, and you dispose. You meet life daily, and you expose yourself. You expose yourself to yourself. You are the seeker, and you are the finder of that which you seek, and so you stir the soup of life. You make up a menu for life, and your menu is unique.
 
You cohabit the world. No one is truly in life for himself. You are a player. You are in the game. No matter your style, you play. You do make a play for life. You want to win it over. You want to play well. The fact is you do play your part very well.
 
And you are the winner of the game, and your win is learning. You learn considerably.
 
No day is wasted even when you waste it. No energy is wasted. Energy is used, but not wasted. You may think you throw life away, yet in no way do you throw life away. You can’t. Life is, and you live it. Whatever life may be like for you, you live it. No one else lives your life. Only you.
 
You win. Life gets down on its knees for you and yells, “Uncle.”
 
No matter how life may seem to treat you, you are the one who lives life as you do.
 
You may be duplicitous or rowdy. You may be whatever you appear, yet you are alive on Earth, and you are as you are. You wind yourself up every day, and you keep exploring the terrain of yourself. You are remarkable. Never in the existence of the world have you been less than the protagonist of your life as it plays itself out.
 
At the same time as you are in the game, you are the watcher of it. You see your life, and you see its playing out no matter how unbelievable it is. You dance with life, and you learn a few steps. It is as if you have sailed the High Seas, and you were surprised at the course life took, and yet you took your turn and you played your plays.
 
Your life is significant. You are a building block of life. You contribute. Everyone contributes to your life, and you contribute to everyone’s life. You manifest life. One way or another, you grab life and give it everything you have to give. You create your life while you watch it on the screen. You are the maker of your life, and you are the watcher. You turn the pages, and you turn the pages fast, and you finish your book, and it is perfect. Make no mistake. Your life is perfect as it plays out.
