Heavenletter #5446 Life on Earth Is Temporary; You Are Eternal, October 22, 2015 

God said: 
It takes courage to live on Earth. Every day you live, you have some awareness that it’s possible you won’t wake up the next morning. You could die without having a chance to say goodbye or one last kiss.
No one knows the moment when death will knock on his door. Death could be imminent, and then its arrival could be postponed. No one knows when the bells toll. Without notice, without warning, without a perused written or verbal contract, the life of your body can be whisked away in the blink of an eye. There is no insurance policy to prevent death of a body. An insurance policy would not be worth the paper it is written on. Sometimes so-called death has a quick-claim. Sometimes death reverses its decision.
Your body wears no armor. How much protection against death does skin give? No guarantee comes with your body. You have no certain lease on physical life. Uncertainty is your middle name. Uncertainty befits you.
You could have protested about life all your life-long, and, yet, at the moment of death’s arrival, you resist. You fight tooth and nail. Death seems to be like a bully and a trickster. Show-off death. You may not have wanted to keep your life that much, yet you sure don’t want to give it up now. Life was lovelier than you knew. Death has no right to take you away from this life. For all intents and purposes, this particular life is the only one you know. It is precious. Your life ought to have rights.
Added to this sacrilege, it is bruited that God, beloved God Almighty, set it up this way. To think of it, God made death one of the laws of life. When death arrives, there is not a thing you can do about it. No one can.
Yet, know, in so-called death, your soul comes forth. We can call this resurrection.
No matter that all bodies born also die in whatever manner it is written, whether typical or rare or even unheard of, death has all its privileges, and your body only seems to be sacrificial lamb offered on the altar.
The fact is that your body lives until it dies. This is true, make no mistake about it. And, yet, you are eternal. What do you think everlasting life means? Attached as you are to the density of your body - oh how essential your body has become to you - you have counted on your body to move you from one place to another. How will you get anywhere, you wonder, without your body to take you there?
You may have always wanted to be able to teleport yourself without making reservations and rushing and carrying luggage or losing it. Death gives you this opportunity. You can instantly be anywhere your soul takes you. You can be anywhere, everywhere. You may not be seen, yet you can see.
Of course, your beloved soul sees differently from the way you as a personality have been accustomed to. In death, you are in a different ballgame with unbounded rights and privileges. Life for you without body and without restriction is right for you anon, and life in a body with restriction is right for you while you are on Earth.
There was so much you didn’t understand while you voyaged on Earth. You will see a whole new world now.
Please understand that life on Earth has a great many blessings, and the continuance of your life without a body in tow also has a great many blessings. You are not un-alive. You are still learning every day to your advantage even as days are not named, and time isn’t measured.
The day of your death is not a sorry day, except that is how you see it, and the whole world seems to see it. You will see it differently anon. Everyone will. Everyone will find out that death isn’t a calamity but a blessing.

Heavenletter #5445 Consciousness Is Yours, October 21, 2015 

God said: 
All are safe in My Heart, and you are in My Heart.
When you feel unsafe in the world, remind yourself that you are with Me. Feeling unsafe is ignorance, beloveds. It is like when you go to the grocery story, and you forget your shopping list. You remember some things, and you forget others. Remember Oneness. It is Ours.
You don’t like to hear that life is what you make it, yet your life is made from your thoughts. Yes, it seems like you can’t help your thoughts. You feel hapless. You feel a victim of your thoughts, yet you are the thinker of them. It is better not to cast blame on yourself or anyone, yet you hold responsibility.
Of course, as a young child, you were innocent. You rubbed up against certain aspects of life, and you adapted to them. It comes down to this, beloveds: You are the turner of the tide of your life.
If you have a lot of thoughts to overturn, then it is up to you to overturn them. From now on, you are the conductor of your life. If you play the tuba, you produce the notes. If you play the violin, you take responsibility for the music that comes from the violin. If you play the flute, you are the player of the flute. The flute music ushers from you. You are the composer of your life.
No matter what conditions out of your control brought you to this place in your life, the next move is yours. Do not equate responsibility with blame. Blame is a time-waster. Blame gets you nowhere. It keeps you where you are. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to hop to it.
Your attitude is King. Choose a direction. Bless yourself. Unless you bless yourself, you are pitying yourself. No more sniffling, please. You have work to do. Get on with it.
Some might say that if there is a tornado and you find yourself in a tree that I am saying you are responsible for landing in a tree. What I say utterly is that you are responsible now for getting out of the tree. You still have thoughts. In this way, through your thoughts, hang on and then rescue yourself.
I repeat and repeat the difference between fault, blame, and, on the other hand, responsibility. There is all the difference in the world. Now set the direction for your life. Turn the dial.
If you find yourself on a deserted island, even if you were kidnapped and abandoned on the island, who is responsible now? Fair or unfair is beside the point. Whatever you do, you are not to sulk. You can do something besides sulk, and you must. This is your life. Your life is up to you. Yes, life takes courage, and life is in your hands, and life is worthwhile.
Yes, there are obstacles in your way. It is for you to climb over the obstacles. Do not let you yourself be an obstacle.
When it is raining, put up your umbrella. If you don’t have an umbrella, go under a tree. If there is no tree, no porch, no raincoat, then you get wet. The sun will come out, and you will dry off.
Or the tide of an ocean can pull you out to sea. Perhaps you will be rescued. No matter what, you are rescued, for you have the opportunity to let go of your body and come Home to Me. All is not lost. Why, beloveds, do you think that death of the body is so deadly?
Nothing is fatal. Fatal is an idea. Earth is filled with ideas. Choose your ideas. Regardless of anything, you will flourish. Consciousness is, and consciousness is yours.

Heavenletter #5444 By Not Calling Attention to Yourself, October 20, 2015 

God said: 
Your heart and mind are vaster than their assigned physical locations. Your Greatness extends far beyond physical boundaries. The same is true of your DNA. It is greater than you perceive. For now, you are in your body specifically, yet you are greater than your body. You are greater than your dreams. You are greater than the grandest dream you ever had.
You are closer to Infinity than you are to your locatable body. Your body is most assuredly not the extent of you.
The Greatness of You extends far beyond the Earth. Your Greatness extends far beyond your wildest dreams.
You may have made a lot of your ego and overlooked the true Greatness of You. You are far greater than you have given yourself credit for. You sit on a Diamond of Yourself while you scramble on Mother Earth, while you dissemble on Mother Earth, while you flutter and fritter away life in avoidance of your Greater Self. You are embedded in a portrayal of your day to day self as you seem to be rather than Who you are. You are greater than your greatest imagining. You look askance from what stretches your imagination.
You may think you face facts about yourself, yet you flee from the good news. You accept half a loaf. You believe paltry is the best you can muster. Not that this means you are satisfied with dribs and drabs of your consciousness.
You defer. You wait. You wait for an occasion to rise. Rather than reach out, you would like a meal to be presented to you. After all, what if you reach too high? Better not to attempt, you tell yourself, unless you are going to come out on top. What do you think you can lose that is greater than opportunity? You have the opportunity for Greatness, and you turn it down?
You are the Splendor of My Heart. That is your opportunity, and you are going to pass on it? It’s true, if you look the other way, you cannot mess up. What you don’t understand is that you cannot fail. You mis-think that a mis-step is a poor showing. A mis-step may be a great step.
Venturing forth is the Greatest Show on Earth. Take initiative. This is success. This is your success. Come to your own aid.
As with Godwriting, you start somewhere. So is it with Greatness. Start somewhere. Don’t delay. Perfection is not your goal. Greatness is. Greatness doesn’t hesitate. Greatness doesn’t have to see itself as great and be self-conscious and so aware of its performance. Greatness within you serves the Universe. It is not all about you.
I will tell you that Greatness is foolproof. It is not your Greatness really. It is Mine. Find My Greatness, and it is yours. It is for you to find your insights. It is for you to find the essence of your love and to keep your awareness of love active and your love itself active forevermore.
It is not for you to squander your Greatness. Live love. Greatness is to be spent. Spending means to be free with it. How on Earth can you restrain your Greatness? Why would you?
We are talking about Greatness and not show of Greatness, you understand. You are not on parade. We are not talking of Great Glory for yourself. You are serving the Universe, humankind, the world and all its inhabitants, and your Self. Therefore, you are serving the Server of All, Who Is I, God. You are not serving idolatry of even yourself. By not calling attention to yourself, you do serve your Self Who Is My Very Self.

Heavenletter #5443 Your Heart Knows the Unknown, October 19, 2015 

God said: 
I favor the heart whereas the world has favored the mind. I don’t disfavor the mind. The only thing is that the intellect generally tends to be seen as smarter than the heart.
Sometimes I see the mind as a saber or scimitar that slices through life right and left. Or I see the mind as a knife that shaves off the meat of the heart, whittles it down to the bone, as if the heart is too fat and needs to be trimmed down. The mind seems to like to think that the heart is a ruffian, wild and uncouth, more like an unruly teen-ager who feeds on emotion.
The modern mind has too often played down the heart as if the heart doesn’t know better or doesn't know anything at all.
Consider that the mind makes up its mind. The thing is that the mind knows only its own reasoning. The prudent mind knows limits and the past and what is already known. The mind sees the heart as rudderless. The mind overlooks that the heart is an ace when it comes to the Unknown.
We could say that the mind uses numbers while the heart uses feelings. The mind explains. The heart listens. The mind is filled with many thoughts. The heart looks beneath the surface. The heart surprises itself.
Make room for the heart. The heart has been given a reputation as unthinking, uneducated. Hello, the heart is an adventurer.
The mind has been a refuter. The mind readily says No. The mind is propped up by applause while the world too often tends to put down the heart and tell it to be quiet.
Probably what you call mistakes are fairly equal for the mind and the heart. The only thing is the heart tends to be humbler. The heart sees as a heart sees while the mind discerns as a mind. The mind likes to plan. The heart likes to go down a chosen path and find out where it leads.
The mind tends to close itself. It has clear limits. The mind is like an accountant – no offense to accountants. It’s just that accountants have a certain kind of measuring job to do. The mind’s purpose of necessity has borders around it. The mind likes to be structured and to corral itself. A good mind is like that. A routine mind, however, is considered a good mind.
In the world, the mind has cautioned the heart to stick to the straight and narrow, take the middle road, play it safe. The heart’s way is to go out and see, to find out what is around the corner. The heart wants to find out for itself.
Of course, there is not really one way for the mind to think. The human mind can also explore. Fine minds have taken off for unmapped territory and triumphed.
Neither the mind nor the heart has to be one way or another. A smart mind can break boundaries. Minds are not always 100% right no matter who says they are.
For hearts, the consideration is not really about right or wrong. It is about adventure. The only way to know that someone is your true love is to find out. Your true love cannot be calculated ahead of time.
Mind and heart cannot always go hand in hand. Both have value, yet one cannot be squared off against the other.
Let Us have freedom for both mind and heart.

Heavenletter #5442 God's Love Dancing, October 18, 2015 

God said: 
You wonder sometimes if Love, after all, is no more nor no less than Beauty. All the world needs is Beauty. What if you could really see everyone as beautiful, even the ungainly, even the shy and the bold, and, still, you see everyone as beautiful? As stars fill the sky, your heart is rampantly filled with Beauty.
What is recognition of Beauty but Love? What are Beauty, Love, Grace, Oneness, Joy, Light, etc. but My Love, My Love dancing, My Love marching down the aisles of Life? What is My Love but My Heart dancing and dancing because My Love cannot be stilled?
Who in his right mind would consider holding Love in, even keeping a drop of Love in, even catching it in the palm of a hand and forgetting to give it away? Who in his right mind would put Love on the mantle, display it up there to be admired from a distance? Who in his right mind would toss Love away rather than spend it? Who in his right mind would feel proud of himself for keeping Love away from anyone?
Who would not be glad to give out Love so high that it reaches everyone regardless of anything? Who in his right mind would spin anywhere else but in Love, Love for Me and Love for you? The Ones who love love themselves. They love themselves so much that Love overfills chalices, and Love spills everywhere.
No one is without Love. No one is denied it. No one refuses it. No one forgets where his Love is. No one runs out of it. No one hangs on to it. No one hangs Love on the line to dry. No one puts Love in a chest with mothballs. No one is ignorant of his full share of Love, for All Love Is One.
Love is not packaged. It is not wrapped even in silk. Love is right out there where it can be seen and adored.
No one is to blush at Love. No one refunds it. No one hides it. No one puts love aside. No one questions it, for where Love is, there is Vastness. Love is vast. Like life, there is no beginning or end to Love. Love is not discovered. It is not tripped over. Love is absorbed, and Love is radiated from every heart, and Love radiates brightly. Love is light, and Love and Light are here to stay. There are no run-arounds with Love.
Love never comes up short. Love is never self-conscious, for Love isn’t thinking of Itself, yet Love never forgets Itself. Love is Its own Self which means that Love is Everyone’s. Everyone has all of Love, not simply a portion, but All of Love. Love envelops Itself, and Love pours Itself out.
Love is the Brightest Diamond and the Softest Pearl. Love is splashed on everyone like water from a fire hydrant or water from a Crystal Lake or water from the Moonlit Sky.
Love is not supposed to look this way or that way. Who cares what Love looks like? Love is not perfectly apportioned according to this or that, yet Love is perfectly apportioned. Everyone has All of It, All of Love. No one only has a piece of Love. Love is never cut or chopped or rationed. Love is breathed in, and Love is breathed out.
Love is never put into a cupboard, and yet the Cupboard of Love is always full and fresh and buoyant. Love is to behold, and Love is to hold, and Love is to give away as if the Ocean of Love can never run dry, for, of course, the Ocean of Love is Infinite and All the Love in the World, and All the Love in the World is poured upon you, and you have more and more Love to give out to the thirsty world.
Come, let’s love and know nothing but Love.

Heavenletter #5441 Blossoming Year of the Heart, October 17, 2015 

God said: 
Grades at school, test scores, accomplishments, appearances, cleverness, upmanship, smoothness of one kind or another have uprooted the heart, patted the heart disrespectfully on the head as if your heart were an unruly child, made the heart just sit there quietly on a wooden chair and behave and do as it is told. The good heart, smiled at every now and then, patted on the head in public – of course, goodness and mercy are okay now and then on occasion but yet, intolerably, the heart is often set aside in board rooms, ball rooms, and in private homes. The Human Heart has been undermined and has not been given its due, not really, perhaps given lip service, let out properly only when no one is looking.
The heart of the matter has, too often, not been attributed, acknowledged, or honored for its Truth and Magnificence. In novels, yes, perhaps in oratory, yet for any heart to sit waiting for its debut is, well, a little shady. Too much of life in the world has been hidden as if the heart were, well, déclassé.
Coming up now, like spring, is the blossoming Year of the Heart, and, from now on, this is how it will be. Like hyacinth bulbs from the rich ground that have been waiting, love is coming up. Hearts all over the world are rising naturally and triumphantly, breathtakingly beautiful, seen by all the world in ardor, recognized by all. This is it, the longed-for Revival of Love on Earth. Hear the drums. Love will be okayed. Love will sing from the rafters. Hearts will sing to beat the band. Birds will lead the chorus.
How can My beautiful children be kept cut off from their hearts and freedom any longer? There is an uprising of love which will no longer be upturned. No longer will love be restrained. This baby is being born full-fledged, and the world will never be the same again. It will be incapable of returning to the old cold past.
This is what everyone has been waiting for. Even the rulers of profit at any cost have been waiting for this long-awaited time of Love on Earth and Peace for All, an enlivened enlightened world where Love and Kindness are King and all voices sing-out love for All the World to hear.
Why would the world have had such subterranean fear of a Happy-Go Lucky Life without Fear and Trepidation? Fear and trepidation are on the descendant. Love and joy are on the Ascendant.
This is the Year of the Joining of Hearts and Hands. This is the Year of Laughter! This is the year where Life on Earth finally makes sense. It takes the Human Heart to make sense. This is the Year of Restoring and Honoring the Heart. Now the Human Heart no longer has to wait for midnight.
Love has come out. Love is heralding itself.
Love is love is love is love. Joy and Peace are here for all time. Love is Ruling Life. Love is All Over. Love rules without ruling. Love is. Love rules the world, and love will take you over, spin you around, and the you you thought you were and thought you were supposed to be on Earth subsides. The love you are arises never to be silenced again. Love sings out, and the world is beautiful and shines forth.
God in Human Beings is now visible. This is the Declaration of Love. Signed by all hearts, the deed is done. Love has taken over the world. Life is on a good note. Wait until you see the flourishing of All Life on Earth, how natural it is, how lovely. Now, drink of it deeply. All years are named the Year of Love from now on. Your very bones know it. The very soil and air know it. There is no returning to the past. The Spring of your Lifetime has come.

Heavenletter #5440 Heir to God's Throne, October 16, 2015 

God said: 
It is easy to find fault. You’ve been trained in it! The refrain echoes through your mind:
“Find the flaw! Look quickly, there has to be something wrong with this, and something wrong with that. There is something wrong with everything. I must reveal flaws. Flaws must be ousted. Life is never good enough, not for long anyway. I’d better be quick at labeling fault. I can always suggest a fault. I’m good at it. I’m getting to be a master of it.”
There’s nothing wrong with the concept of making something better. However, finding fault tends to begin with tearing down rather than building up. Now, pardon Me for finding a fault. As a matter of fact, when you specialize in finding fault, you set a hard row for yourself. Finding fault pinches your nose and squints your eyes.
The other side of improving others or their work is that you become accustomed to being dissatisfied. Finding the fatal flaw may grow to be a way of life. The flaw is the part of life you pounce on. You have already engaged in other versions of the same story. There are better stories you can tell. Tell them.
Perhaps when you stumble on a flaw, you get excited about how smart you are! What a discoverer you are! How dedicated to truth you are! Nothing passes you by.
Beloveds, the sort of truth pointed out in the world isn’t exactly a revelation. It has been going on for some time. It’s not a novelty. It’s old hat, pretty boring and ho-hum. Faults are dime a dozen, yet you point with your index finger to the faults you spot. You don’t point to every cloud in the sky with amazement and find fault with clouds for being clouds? Why then exalt so many other handy faults because they do not follow a perfect symmetry? I wonder if you really believe that faults are spectacular.
Develop a knack for not giving faults so much attention.
It could perhaps be said that the greatest fault of all is pointing out faults. There really are other things to notice and talk about and discover.
What is judgment anyway but pointing out faults?
Judgment smashes something. Judgment goes on a rampage. Better to smash out finding faults. It is a mystery to Me why it seems so pleasurable to My children to be so discerning of faults. I don’t understand what great talent fault-finding takes that it makes anyone feel triumphant.
A teacher may find every fault in a student’s writing again and again without recognizing the honest heart that the child expresses. The teacher sees faults and may not look to note the importance of what something means to the child’s heart. Are spelling and punctuation and grammar so vital that a teacher will stomp on a child’s heart? What the child writes expresses his Being, but the feckless teacher, forgetting that writing has a purpose beyond conformity, perhaps chose correctness over the child himself.
This is because something away from the heart has been touted as more important and essential. The heart has been deposed somewhere out of sight, as though the intellect is supposed to reign supreme and the heart is to be the orphan who isn’t supposed to shine but rather be suppressed and kept away from the impressive friends of the intellect, shunted in some little closet or hallway in the back.
This is mis-justice. The heart has been found wanting. The heart, the core of all life, has been put aside, allowed out only at certain times, as if the heart were not the legitimate heir to My throne.

Heavenletter #5439 Love Knows No Bounds, October 15, 2015 

God said: 
Into whose heart do you belong? In My heart, of course.
Who belongs within your heart? Everyone and everything. There is no one or nothing who does not belong in your heart. Of course, this includes Me. There is no drop of love that is meant to be left outside your heart.
Perhaps you have learned to stint on love. Perhaps you have learned to economize on love, for you don't want to be lavish with love and waste it. You will not be lavish with love. Sadly, you may get more and more into the vision that you have no love to spare. You wait for another time. Perhaps you eke out love as if love were water, and there is a draught on love, and you must take extreme measures to conserve it. Safety first, you say.
There is no end to love. You flourish with the giving away of love. Love is to be given. End of issue. If you could see love as unlimited, which it is, you would no longer hold back.
There is no sense in withholding love. Consider love a perishable. Love won’t keep. Love has to be given now, not later. And you are the one to give it. Give your love away. In giving your love away, you have to get away from the idea that you are owed love back as if a price tag is marked with the value of your love. There is no price tag high enough for love. Anyway, you can’t be mathematical when it comes to love. Why can’t you? Because then it is not love which is given with a limit attached to it.
The return of love is also a law of love, yet it is not a rule, and it cannot be enforced. As soon as you insist on accruing love back, those you see as owing – they run away. There just is something about love that cannot be demarked. Love has to be given freely, or it is not love. Love can’t be like from a loan shark who has to be paid back right now.
One thing you are learning in life is that love is free. Love cannot be enacted. Love is given. There is no such thing as love compulsory.
In any case, love cannot be measured. There is no way to count love. Love is not a business deal nor a legal contract.
Okay, let’s admit that you would like some kind of surety. There are no written or unwritten payment plans when it comes to love. Love is in the giving and not in the contracting.
Let the human need be to give love. A price cannot be put on what cannot be measured. There are no bids on love. Love does not go to the highest bidder. Love goes where your heart takes love. When your eye is on love’s return, you count backwards.
In Truth, everyone’s capacity for love is infinite. In the world, not everyone is able to rise to this capacity. Not everyone knows that love is about giving and not about appearance, impression, style or payback. Love is synonymous for giving.
Even when it comes to letting your heart flow gently to Mine, you may be reluctant. You may want to see Me fulfill you - first. To simply love without visible results may well be out of your reach. You may want Me to prove My love to you before you can venture. When you see My giving you what you want first and I promise you My fealty, perhaps then you could take a chance on Me.
Understandably, it seems less risky for you to reciprocate love you have received rather than to initiate love. Then you seemingly have to keep up your love in order to return the bounty. Then you have a bargain made. How do you feel about having a debt? There is no debt in love.
From the world's point of view, love can only be a risk. The world tends to forget that the winning is in giving and not in a projected result.
It’s okay. You will come to the full realization of love, easy honest love without marked road posts.

Heavenletter #5436 Try Cooking Supper One Night , October 12, 2015 

God said: 
What do you want? Many of My children do not know what they want. Sometimes, it could appear that what many want most of all is to complain. It seems to Me that there is a lot of complaining going on, could this be true?
You are presented with a meal that those who haven’t eaten today do not even have a chance to complain about, and you find sundries to complain about. Have another ambition rather than to be a super complainer. Goodness knows, you are awfully good at griping about one thing or another. You may be a magnificent complainer. There is hardly pride to take in being a complainer. You have lots of competition for the championship.
To be proud of your complaining skills is like being proud of having a sour stomach. Burp, burp, burp. What are you proud of? Your discernment? Best fault-finder on the block? Excellent at finding that which to complain about every day of the week?
You can accomplish a lot more by biting your tongue. Tonight’s supper was not gourmet? So? Someone went to trouble. Thank Me, God, then for your food.
Complaints are sloppy things. I know you can do better with your life. Sometimes a little thank-you goes far. Give good cheer.
You could get good at making someone smile.
You could try cooking supper one night. Get good at making someone want to cook for you. Be a splendid guest. When someone makes a meal for you, consider yourself a guest. Pull out your good manners. Try them on. I encourage you to be explicit in your appreciation.
I say, if you can say something undesirable, then you can say something desirable. Get practice in it.
We are talking about more than uplifting your wife or mother or the clerk in the super market. We are talking about resurrecting the world. Call being genial the way to resurrect the world. Hey, if you simply stopped complaining, you would be doing an unheralded service to the world.
If you don’t like the service you receive in the world, improve the service that you give to the world.
Because the service you receive isn’t what you think it should be, then show the world how.
Here's how to change the world in one easy lesson:
Don’t try to change the world. Don’t try to change anyone else. You have your hands full with yourself. Change even your posture. Start blessing the world even with your posture.
At the very least, exchange your complaints for a closed mouth. You can offer a smile. If you can offer a smile, you can be cheery. If you can be cheery, you can enjoy. If you can enjoy, you can laugh. If you can laugh, you can be alive. If you can be alive, you can be a blessing to the Earth at large and most especially to the people you know.
When you are a blessing, you are able to appreciate others at an amazing rate.
You can be an alacrity of joy. You can be a trail-blazer. You can be a house a-fire of love. You can light fires in other hearts.
Are you perhaps waiting for someone else to start? Why wait?
Be a star in the firmament. Be a star. Be the majorette. Be the baton-twirler. Start a parade on Earth as you spread the Light of Love.
You will see negativity recede faster than your hairline.
If I, God, wore a cap, you would be the Feather in My Cap. What else would you be? What more do you want?
Beloveds, shake out love. Shake it out all over. Start the dawn of a new age on Earth. See what you can start.

Heavenletter #5434 Be Fun for Your Children to Be With, October 10, 2015 

God said: 
Fun is not a flighty unimportant part of life. It is an essential part of life. Children are supposed to have fun. Life is supposed to be fun. As it is, children are sometimes chastised for having fun as if the purpose of your raising your child is to squelch them.
If I were to give advice to parents, I would say:
Have fun with your children. You, the parent, have a good time. This is an exquisite time with your child. It will not come again.
This is a double-whammy, because as you have fun, you ensure that your children do.
When you and your child have fun together, you are raising your child well. You don’t need to think so sternly about raising your children. When your children have fun and enjoy with you, you are raising your children well. They will listen to you and respect you and, in turn, be loving and gracious to you and to everyone.
You are introducing your children to the world. Make the world a friendly place for your children, and they will know friendliness.
You are not spoiling your child by allowing him happiness.
As a parent, you need to get away from the idea that your child has to perform as the best behaved child at home or away. You are not spoiling your child by accepting and loving him. This is not letting your child go wild. Give your child the freedom to be happy.
When your child reaches out from his stroller to touch everything in the supermarket, you don’t have to say a big NO to him. Name the items he reaches out to touch. As you move on, tell him the names of what he sees. He can point, and you can name. Later you can reciprocate. You can point, and he can name.
When it comes to the hot stove which your child must not touch, instead of saying No, say, Hot. When it comes to crossing the street, hold your child’s hand and say: "This is how we cross the street."
This is interaction. This is calm. This is love. Participate in your child’s world. As you treat your child, so will the child treat you. This is not catering to or codding your child. To cater to your child is an offense. Do you see this? Catering to your child may be for your ease and may be foisting away your responsibility.
Look, get away from the idea that you have to be a perfect parent. Get away from the idea that you have to have a perfect child.
Engage your child as you go along in life together. Engage. You have experience in life. Your child does not. Your aim is not to subdue your child. Your aim is educate your child into happiness and how to get along in the world. Let your child learn and have fun. Fun is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child.
And you will be happy to be in the company of your child as he is in yours. Teaching is not discipline. It is sharing. You and your child can also share peace and quiet. Your child is always asking you to kindly introduce him to the world and its ways.
Think more about love and less about rules and less about perfection. You can raise a child in the way he should go without being bossy or overbearing. The opposite of overbearing is not lenient - yet why would you argue with a young child? Raising your child is not meant to be a battle. It is not a military action. It is meant to be love in the highest sense. Raising your child is not intended to show off your parenting skills in your neighborhood. "This way, puppy," is what you say when you want your very young child to come with you.
It is for you to encourage your child’s imagination.
Make it a pleasure to be in the company of your child. Make it a pleasure for your child to be in your company.

Heavenletter #5435 What Cannot Be Dreamed of in the Human Heart? , October 11, 2015 

God said: 
Here is an idea I would like you to remove from your heart and mind and from the world at large. I beseech you to remove this false impression. You must. For the success of the world, you must.
Here is the idea I ask you to get out of your belief system. It is the idea that there is anything that exists that is too good to be true. There is nothing too good to be true.
When you embrace the concept that all good can be true, you lift a caul off the world, and you lift the vibration of the world.
Anything is possible. Anything. What miracles will you allow into the world? What miracles will you invite? What miracles will you reach for?
What are you thinking when you are convinced and seek to convince others that the world is filled with volumes of what you consider too good to be true?
Because you have not yet seen what you think may be too good to be true - because you have not yet witnessed ongoing miracles before your very eyes in the name of Truth  - because the world at large has not yet accepted the presence of miracles in daily life – it seems that you and the world deny the very evidence that miracles exist. Beloveds, how can what does not, in fact, exist be refuted!
I will tell you that many greatnesses have occurred, and they occur again and again. They will be seen to occur more often when the consciousness of the world does not block the very idea of them.
It is not new that the lame can walk. What in the created world is not a miracle? A tree? A flower? A human being? What gall makes you believe that miracles are not possible and, even, easily possible?
There are those who believe that I do not exist, and many people have the idea that they know more than I do. I cannot believe that belief in absence of miracles is heralded as though abstaining from miracles is wise and to be applauded.
What you believe in is what you believe in. What you don't believe in may be what you and the world have convinced yourselves to not believe in. You have ultimately convinced yourself. The way it is, whatever you believe in or don’t believe in, you believe, and you would like it if the rest of the world would  believe the sensible way you do. It would seem that there is a certain comfort in numbers.
Thoughts can change. Thoughts will change. That you are drawn to opening the drawer of your beliefs will turn the world upside down, or, shall I say once again, right-side up?
Better to believe in what is helpful. But, look, you don’t really have to believe in something for it to be true. Just admit the possibility exists. I don’t want you to say you believe when you don’t. You just don’t have to build a case for not believing.
What can be dreamed of in the hearts of men can come true. What can be dreamed of in the hearts of men can become everyday occurrences and not just once in a lifetime.
Open your mind, and open your thoughts to all possibilities.
What do you refuse to believe that the world will be freed from illness? Why would you state that illness will always be man’s fate and why would you hold on to raggedy illness? It can seem that you invent new ideas that will make illness an idea of the past. Ideas are just ideas, yet ideas are significant and make their mark.
If nothing on Earth is permanent, if even life on Earth is not permanent, certainly doesn't have to be permanent illness.
The word No is a blocker in the world. Do not fortify blockages.
The lamb and the lion are already lying down together.
And yet you scoff. Scoff at your old limiting beliefs instead. Open up the gateways of the world and let new ideas in. Give them a chance. Let Me in.

Heavenletter #5433 The Secret of Happiness, October 9, 2015 

God said: 
Take heart today. Take heart today with your head. You are on the upswing. Accept: This is God talking to you. With all My love and with all My heart, I speak to you today. BE HAPPY TODAY. I sing these words to you. Be My child who swims the Ocean on My behalf. What can you not do for God? You can be happy for God. Yes, you can even be happy for God. You can allow yourself to be happy for the love of God, for your love of God.
Here’s the secret of happiness. Forget yourself. Remember Me. Remember what you are here on Earth for. Not to serve yourself. Not to focus on yourself. Make Me happy. Even as I am happy always, be happy for Me.
You are here on Earth to serve Me. You serve Me very well when you are happy.
So, then, when you are blue, how do you become sunny? How do you change the color of this moment from gray sky to sunny sky reaching into your heart?
Be happy as you think of Me. This is not artificial. This is not pretending. This is not – absolutely not – forcing yourself to be anything. This is allowing happiness to take over your heart and soul. Look up. Think of Me. Think of making Me happy. Without obsequious attention on your own happiness, you will simply be happier. Without even polite or distant attention on your happiness, happiness will appear and thrive. Your happiness is your gift to Me. Be happy for Me.
Shine a flashlight on happiness, and you may not see it. You can’t force-feed happiness. Happiness does not have to be in the limelight. It likes to slip in more unnoticed.
Too much attention on yourself, and you are unhappy. Less attention on yourself, you are simply happier. What makes you unhappy then? Too much dwelling on yourself, and, in particular, on your own satisfaction. This makes you fussy and displeased.
Come this way to Happiness. Stop dickering about it. Stop figuring it out. Stop trapping happiness as if you were a trapper in the forest. Happiness is not prey that you hunt. Is this a revolutionary thought?
Happiness is a perception that follows you when you let it trot along beside you of its own accord. Hunt happiness without a flashlight, and happiness will find you. You will find happiness tracking you. Happiness will smile on you.
We are speaking of a natural thing. It is natural for happiness to walk beside you. Happiness is your natural state. Happiness is I as I walk beside you and hold your hand. This happiness was never meant to be seldom or out of the ordinary. Happiness is a natural event. It is not an add-on, not at all.
You do know enough to know that without happiness, something is off. It is unnatural to be unhappy. It is selfish to be unhappy. It is too much attention on yourself. In some ways, you remind Me of the Princess and the Pea. Even lying on 100 piled-up mattresses, one pea bothered the Princess.
Imagine, for a moment, if you had a personal maid, her whole attention would be on you. As a personal attendant, she wants to know that you are comfortable, that you are not over-heated and that you are not cold. She hovers over you with her attention. Are you thirsty or hungry? She reads you a checklist of a huge menu. What would you like for breakfast? Oatmeal or eggs, or both? How would you like your eggs? Sunny-side up or over-easy? Would you like one egg or two? Would you like coffee today? Dark-roast or light?
And so on. It is not all that much fun really to be waited on hand and foot.
However, this may be how you seek happiness. Do not be so obsequious to happiness. Don’t be so solicitous of it. Know happiness is coming, and do not be so fraught about it. Don’t pester happiness. Know that happiness is yours. Allow happiness to come of its own free will. Take happiness in your stride. Do not be temperamental about happiness. You are not to be the Princess and the Pea.

Heavenletter #5432 Silly You!, October 8, 2015 

God said: 
You know that life in the world can change at the snap of a finger. You also know that the phenomenon of life, of its very nature, changes right and left. Even when life doesn’t seem to be changing, it is changing. Life, as it appears, is ever-new. This isn't the first time I have said this, is it?
When you were a child, change changed right before you. You grew an inch. You learned a new word. The magnificence of it – you learned to speak a language. You went from baby to toddler. You learned to ride a tricycle. Life flashed between your eyes, and next thing you knew you rode a 2-wheeler, and then a motor-cycle and so on.
After childhood, changes are not so sudden-appearing. Changes become more like after-thoughts. They have been predicted as a standard procedure. Even as age is happening, as hair become gray, it doesn’t happen all at once. Then suddenly, it seems, the way spring appears, suddenly, your hair is all gray or your hair is sparse.
Silly you, these evidences of change appear like afflictions to you. Ideas accrue to what you notice. Now you have the idea you are growing old. The world tells you that this is reality. Even what you pronounce as reality is an idea, and, often, an inherited idea. An idea of reality is not identical to Reality. Pronouncements of Reality in the world may be off-base. Once flat Earth was considered Reality. There are those who would revive that idea. There are even those who say that this theory is still true. Someone says so.
Styles of belief also change just as styles of dress do. The facts that illustrate change also change. One theory is in today, and another theory tomorrow. Truth in the world changes according to popularity. True Truth stays the same. The truth of the world is made by style-setters. Truth, as seen in the world, changes on a basis of popularity which is no basis at all.
There are two residual questions I ask:
How do you know anything, and why do you have to know whether the Earth is flat, round, or square? Everything goes on with or without your interpretation. What difference does it make to Reality what you think? If you call sand wet and water dry, what difference does it make to sand and water?
When it comes to yourself, however, everything does mean what you say it means, and it does makes a difference to you. Your hair has turned gray. You may say that this is the beginning of the end. You may say it is a downslide. You may say it is your decline.
You may write great poetry attesting to this: “We clamb the hill thegither…, and now we maun totter down, John…and sleep thegither at the foot…” * Most often you pick up your interpretations from those before you and those beside you. You are surrounded with built-in ideas.
How you interpret makes all the difference in the world. There are too many experiences predicted by the world at large, and you predict them as well, and therefore too many interpretations that are taken as fact and, therefore, in fact, predict and decide your experience.
Is the world topsy-turvy or what? You already knew that even when you accepted the beliefs of the world.
What was once impossible is now everyday or even a standard.  
What you don’t already know is what tomorrow will bring. Don’t be so sure you know what is topsy or what is turvy. Let go of holding on now.
* Editor’s Note: These words are from a poem in Scottish dialect entitled John Anderson, My Jo John by Robert Burns, 1759–1796

Heavenletter #5431 Want to Change Your Circumstances?, October 7, 2015 

God said: 
My children often wait for circumstances to change before they will make changes within themselves. Putting this wall up is how to stay the same. How closed or open you may be regarding how you view your Life may determine your progress or your status quo. You may prefer an old menu to the new one on general principle.
Want to change your circumstances? If you really want to change the externals of your life, something inside you has to give. Something of the old has to make way for the new. Of course, this will happen one way or another.
Don’t get up in arms now. It is so simple, yet I understand it isn’t so simple for you. In order to change within, to honestly change, you have to let go of something, and therein is the rub. You would let go of something if only you could count on life’s changing as you want it to. Yes, something has to give, beloveds – and it has to give within you.
Life isn’t a trading post. You can't make a deal. Not often, maybe never. You can’t say to life: “Let’s do it my way, Life. Give me a welcome change, and when all is assured according to my desire and my will, then I will give up something of less or equal value.”
I see - you want a deal! You want to strike a hard bargain. The thing is: Let something go so that there is room for greater.
It is not that you give up anything. You are simply done with something that is no longer useful to you. You do not give up an arm or a leg for Me. You don’t give up your health, your youngest son or anything like that. You don't yet know what you might be giving up.
It is for you to give away a view or an action or a certain way of thinking. You move something out in order to open up your life. When you must stay as you are before all else, you resist opening your life to a new movie reel. Open wide and await the new. You may look at this like going to the dentist.
Opening life wide welcomes opportunity.
 
What do you risk by letting life lead you and giving life free rein? Life will take you somewhere. Life is saying:
“Come with me. At this moment, you can’t see the future, and you may be closing out blessings. You might like all the measurements as you have them now, yet, I recall hearing some complaints. Before you are satisfied, it's possible you will investigate so much and want assurances and guarantees to meet your favored picture that you pass up the opportunities that I, True Life, offer you, and, so, you miss the boat."
Life won’t cheat you. By not opening yourself to change, you may cheat yourself from what you desire. Life is not outlined before you. You can only take what comes. You may lock out Life and hang on to what you are used to.
What do you think you are risking? You have a choice between risking old ways that you may never have wanted in the first place and accepting an open field. Play the odds, beloveds, play the odds. The odds favor making way for new blessings. We are talking about your trading one view for another. We are talking about expanding your view, not limiting it.
You can plan all you want. You can plan right down to every detail. Where does that take you? Better to live than to plan. Anyway, your plans, no matter how detailed, do not light a candle next to what life may bring you if you will let go. Make some room for life to walk in. Opt for what you want more than you opt for what is already past. I suggest you be open to Life.
Would you hang onto tires that are flat? Would you keep drinking stale soda? Would you say No to Life automatically in preference to saying Yes?

Heavenletter #5430 Doubt Leaves You in the Middle of a Forest, October 6, 2015 

God said: 
A great nagger in the world is Doubt. Doubt wears many faces. Doubt brings a whole array with it. Insecurity. Confusion. Conviction of whatever. Fatigue. Anger. Dismay. Dissatisfaction. Worry!
Beloveds, there may be no right decision. There also may be no wrong decision. Life is an experiment, remember?
What is doubt but wishy-washiness? Doubt likes to see you under its spell.
Doubt pummels you. Doubt is a wrestler, a boxer, a bully. Doubt undercuts you. Doubt ties your shoelaces together. It ties you up in knots. Doubt as a way of life is an error.
Not knowing is not exactly the same as doubt. Doubt tells you not to make up your mind. Doubt tells you to take forever.
Doubt dangles you. It diddles you. It runs circles around you.
Doubt niggles you. It is a tease, yet doubt is heavy-handed. We can’t call doubt a flim-flam because doubt is dead-serious about its self-imposed mission. I did not, definitely, did not choose doubt for you. Doubt will foist himself on you any day. Hey, doubt doubt.
Doubt will pursue you. It will run you ragged.
Doubt prevents you from taking a direction. Rather, you allow doubt to prevent you from taking a direction. Doubt says you are lost in a forest and don’t know which way to turn – can’t know which way to turn. What a fatalist doubt is.
Dear Ones, so what if you choose a direction today and change it next week? You went for something. Better to go for something than to chew your nails trying to decide which door to open. Look, sooner or later, you have to open a door to find out what is behind it. The Lady or the Tiger? Hey, both doors could have beautiful ladies behind them.
Choices are not like bones to chew and bury and then dig up and chew some more. Do not mix up the words chew and choose. Choices are not bubble gum.
Yes, doubt is a nag, and nags are hard to satisfy. That’s what the word nag means. A nag in the sense I speak now is someone hard to satisfy. Otherwise, nags wouldn’t be nags. They would be something else. A baseball player is not a football player. A nag is a nag is a nag. And doubt has been a nag forever.
What was the first doubt? To eat the apple or not? To listen to the snake or not? To trust or not?
The thing to do with doubts is to get away from them. Doubts, no matter how doubting, are so sure of themselves. Doubts are tireless in convincing you to stay with them. Whatever faculty a particular doubt represents, it won’t let you go. It will toss you backwards and forwards. Once a doubt gets its teeth into you, it’s doubtful you will get free.
Yet anything is possible. If someone can be debt-free, someone can be doubt-free. You can toss doubt aside.
I am not saying that you will be positive about every decision. I have seen you fiddle so much over decisions. You don't have to stay on the see-saw so long. You will get on, or you will get off. Or you will put a decision aside for a while without stewing over it. You will come to lean more toward making decisions than going back and forth and back again.
You don’t have to take a stand. You don’t have to be quick, yet you certainly don’t have to be slow. You are not under pressure to make up your mind, yet you are asked to stop standing on the fence and jumping from one leg to another. No longer haggle with doubt.

Heavenletter #5429 In the Story of the World, October 5, 2015 

God said: 
This will pass. Whatever it is, this is the truth in the world. The world is passing right before your eyes. This is how it is.
Procrastination is passing right now. Can procrastination last forever? What is happening is that your world is being turned upside down. It is like you have been thrown up into the air, and you haven’t quite landed yet. What does this mean? It means you are losing boundaries. You are becoming unbounded. You are gaining unboundedness. You are in the middle or muddle of freedom.
Sometimes you would avidly like to clutch to old times and old ways. You feel pledged to people of the past and to people of the present and to a way of life named Future. You have long wanted to get out of confinement, yet, suddenly, freedom does not feel so wonderful as you thought it would. Where do you rest your head? Where are all the seeming possessions and props that, yes, got in your way, yet were comforting to add up. And the people of the past who are no longer evident? You long for them. How you long for them.
The people of the past are lined up like paper cut-outs attached one to the other. There is no end. And I tell you also that there is no beginning. Infinity just is. It is like a choo-choo train you see from an angle. Life seems to pass before you, and, yet, life, without form, amounts to invisible atoms and molecules. Invisible spark plugs are moving. Yes, I suppose We can say that Light moves. It certainly sparkles. Hey, you, all you atoms and molecules out there, dazzle the world.
From where did you come, My children made of atoms, and to where do you go, when there is no place to enter and no place to exit? There is no furniture to move. There is a build-up of stress to disperse. There is illusion to snip at and Reality to rise up in its stead.
Who are you, and what are you when you are not illusion to be alluded to?
You used to think you had a handle on life. Now you feel you are floating down an elevator shaft or floating up an elevator shaft or sliding around, buoyed up in a beautiful blue sky. You are floating in the Universe. You expect to land, yet there is no seeming landing pad. You are free-falling. You will bounce up again, for your freedom is unassailable. Freedom is not a liability. Welcome it.
You have desired your freedom, and I have also yearned for your freedom. Freedom has always been here for you. You thought freedom was unavailable. You thought you could have it only in some far-off kingdom, some day in faraway Infinity, but no, you never thought you could have freedom now. Freedom cannot be held in your hand, or it would not be freedom. Most likely in the past, you put life off. You postponed it. There was always another day. And so you added Life to your list for some day when you could get around to it. The ground slips away from you, and ILLUSTRIOUS time beats you to Life.
What High Sea are you sailing on? Oh, this feature of time in the world, how arrogant it is. Time puts you on an assembly line, and you seemingly pop out of an automat with your goose already cooked.
What? Can life be more than a sandwich to eat or skip depending upon – what? – your mood? If there is no time, how can there be moods? If there is no time, how can there be a waste of it? How can you catch up to time if it doesn’t exist or get away from it, and how can you be caught up in it?
What matters matter? What matters any thing? What can be hit or miss or anything at all, and how can something not be when it seems to be right in your face? What is topsy-turvy and what is right-side-up when dimensions of space do not exist any more than space itself does?
Nevertheless, you are spinning in a spinning Universe, yet you don’t move at all. At the same time, you can’t be immovable, for your heart is moved. It can be said that your heart is moved or unmoved. When your beautiful heart is not moved, you feel far away from it. What is a body to do when the physical doesn’t exist except in the Story of the World?

Heavenletter #5428 Make a Beautiful World Out There, October 4, 2015 

God said: 
What is all this about the so-called old that makes limitations seem to be a foregone conclusion? Old age seems to have a narrow range of prediction, well, predicted only as… old.
The world may look at the so-called old as some lesser kind of being who descended to Earth shriveled and referred to simply as the Old as if they had never lived, as if they had never raised a family and moved youthfully in the world, as if they, the experienced, have no further contributions to make, as if the old have no future and couldn’t really have had a past. Is the world saying that the grouped old are no more than water under the bridge?
Oh, sure, certainly, older people have become good sports, pushed along in wheel chairs, facing a blank wall or the TV like good guests. I, God, pray to Myself:
“Oh, please, God, don’t be so willing to let life for the longest-lived be grim and that the world relegate them to a non-status. Must the so-called elderly be housed together at a way-station and just wait their turn before being shipped off to the wild blue yonder? God, what happened to Your gift of a purpose to every soul on Earth?
"Age does not have to be presumed to be as it seems to be today, as an off-shoot of life. What excuse is there for this? Come, paint a better picture. Who can look forward to old age as it is portrayed in modern times? Could You, God? Who could? Old age as it is seen today is nothing more than an idea. Can it be Your idea, God?
"Who would look forward to not walking, running, etc. Who in one’s right mind would look forward to what society propels before the world? Who would say: 'Oh, boy, isn’t it terrific to look forward to losing the use of my body and my faculties, to be dependent upon others, to be confined and just while away my days without a trace of a sense of usefulness. Oh, no.' "
Unfortunately, this is the picture that much of the world paints before My beloved children who have been around the block. Come now, who would raise his or her hand and wave it around excitedly, eager to be chosen to line up at the entrance gate? Who would want to be relegated to this ritual? Where is the bonus? Where is what can be?
Yes, of course, all older human beings have earned privileges. Let them earn more favorable privileges and a more favorable outlook. These are My children We are talking about.
Who decided that the wisest people on Earth are supposed to be put out to pasture, and a pasture that may well not include even fresh air? Fresh air would be a minimum, wouldn’t you think? Fresh air belongs at the top of the list.
Look, I value social systems today for putting forth what they put forth, and I desire that the world be given good go-aheads so they can accomplish more. May enough individuals grow in consciousness so that We can offer more than survival and speak of more than survival. Survival is not enough. Survival – what’s that? What does that mean? Sitting life out is not enough, not for the young and not for the old.
It is My desire to work wonders in all areas of the world today. Let’s get some energy out there. Let’s have higher expectations. Let's intend and extend. Let's move forward and give My children of all ages more love.

Heavenletter #5427 A Moving Star, October 3, 2015 

God said: 
Would you like a Heavenletter today? Here it is. I give it to you. Every Heavenletter is a little poke. Heavenletters beckon you into the realms of your DNA. DNA seems like your past all set, yet your inheritance moves you forward. Ultimately, your DNA is Mine. Whatever details it may contain, your DNA is My say-so, for you and I share DNA. Your DNA is not a fixed star. It is a moving star. Your DNA has no bounds. You dance to the tune of your DNA, yet your DNA dances to the tune of your Heart’s Longings.
Let’s have a lovelier name for DNA.
Let Us call it Dear New Aspirations. Let Us call it Dreams Now Alive. Let Us call it Dedicated Neutral Actions. Let Us call it Destined Natural Alohas. Let Us call it Love.
There is no getting set in life. Life is movement. Life is a surprise. Life can be anything it is.
It is no kidding when Hamlet said:
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
And Hamlet also says:
And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
Yes, welcome life. My beautiful children have a tendency to let life be unwelcome and attend overmuch to the hum-drum or to the unkind.
Consider that this day before you -- every day before you -- is new and filled with the unexpected. No one knows what today will bring.
Many times this makes you feel insecure, and you become tense. You hold your head down in the hopes of avoiding heartache. What is this safety that you crave? What is this surety you cry for? Have you not known that you are on an adventure in life? Do you really and truly want life to be the same every day? Life is not a closet you sit in. It is not a tiny place where nothing happens.
Life on Earth is a vast place where anything and everything can happen.
Every day of life is exactly that – the unknown. Life is the unknown in its relative aspects. This means everchanging. Nothing stays the same in the relative world.
The movie reel spins. What combination of changing colors will today be? What breezes will blow? What hems will fall down? What textures will today contain? What happiness and what sorrows? What will you remember, and what will you forget? What will you imagine, and what will be real?
This whole surface of life that seems so real is not. It is a fantastic fantasy. Sometimes it is riding on a rollercoaster. Sometimes it is basking in the sun. Sometimes it is a swim in the lake. The surface of life is what it happens to be. You can be sure that, whatever it may be, it will change. Change is the name of the game of life on Earth. Have I said this before? And, yet, you would like to hold the reins of the steeds of life. You would like to hold them back, or you would like to spur the steeds forward. You want life to be both ways under your jurisdiction, of course.
Remember that you are to be open in life, not closed. This is another way of saying that life can pick you up and toss you in the world. Life can never be the same. You can never stay the same. There is a tide to the Ocean of Life. Waves lap the shore, and waves leap away from the shore. The Ocean inhales and exhales, as it were. You breathe in, and you breathe out. There is exhilaration, and there is the pulling back and then the going forward.
Life is also what you make of it. Ride the waves, beloved. All is well.

Heavenletter #5426 This Is Wisdom – to Laugh!, October 2, 2015 

God said: 
Have you noticed that sometimes wisdom comes from those you might call fools? Being a fool is not always such an errant thing. Everyone should be a fool at sometime or another in his or her life. Be a fool, and laugh about it. This is wisdom.
Of course, everyone’s definition of fool is not the same. Someone who takes advantage of another thinks the one taken advantage of is the fool. I see it differently. There may be a fool in a particular situation, and there may be a fool who is a trickster in the whole range of his life. On whom would you rely? The identified fool or the clever one?
Everyone has been what is termed a fool in his life. Even saying the word fool tends to make you blush. Sometimes it seems you would rather be anything than a fool. What is so bad about being a fool? Most of the Great Ones were looked on as fools. Who is the fool? The one sneered at or the one who sneered?
How you are looked at isn’t to rule your day. Must the views of others be all that be so important to you? Look at yourself through My eyes. And be sure that you yourself look at others through My eyes as well.
Oh, yes, there are worse things than being a fool. In fact, there are wise fools. Simple is good. Simplicity gets right down to the basics. There is nothing pretentious about fools.
To worry about anything is foolish, yet worry keeps bobbing up on the surface of life. Once worry has you in its thrall, it holds you. Worry wouldn’t exist if it were not for you. Yet you may have the idea that it is wise to worry.
Worry is for worry’s sake. There is no other reason for it. Worry is no more than a nuisance. Worry is a habit bred in the past. It clogs up your life right now. Worry is predicated on the past and plagues you in the present. Worry draws pictures of a fearful future. Even if the worry should manifest, did you really have to spend all that time coaching it beforehand?
There is no dearth of matters to worry about. Big or little, worry drains you of your energy. Worries are no more than mosquitoes, yet they drag down your day. Worrying is like spending your day looking for recipes for supper that no one would like to eat.
Worry isn’t even thinking. If you were thinking, you would think about all the happiness that is coming to you. Worry seems to mean to think ahead to unwanted possibilities. Worry means to grind spoiled corn ahead of time that you don’t want anyway. Worry means to add pounds to your weight. Worry means to fear far in advance. Worry means to focus on danger. Worry means to be scared. Worry means making yourself small.
Will you kick worry out the door? When worry starts to encroach on you, let that be a signal for go out for a walk in the woods, read a story to your children, make your kitchen shine, plant a garden, soak in the tub, help your neighbor. In other words, get yourself out of worry’s domain. You owe worry nothing. Worry is a rapscallion. Better to walk away from worry.
Worry is speculation. You don’t get anywhere with worry. Worry may be the worst affliction in the Universe. How can it have grown so popular? Worry multiplies like fleas.
Worries are not rare. As a matter of fact, worries are very common. Throw away the ones you have. You can always get new ones. You can always find more. Worries proliferate.
Worries exist in your mind. Worries gravitate to you, and you gravitate to them. Truly, don’t give worries the time of day. You have better things to do in life than to worry.

Heavenletter #5425 The Light of the Ocean, October 1, 2015 

God said: 
It is good just to be with Me. What more do you want?
We do not have to talk. We do not have to think, for We also exist beyond thought. There is nothing you have to do but come to Me. Welcome yourself to Me. Come to Me in your awareness. This is not an act that you initiate. This happens of itself. This will most certainly come of itself.
This is not something you do. You don’t DO it. No one can DO it. It IS. And, yet, you walk into the Kingdom of Heaven. You do not stand on ceremony. You have already had a star-spangled invitation. There never was a time you did not. You may have overlooked an invitation. Just couldn’t see it. Perhaps thought it was a bill that had come in the mail.
Your invitation can arrive like this:
You are washing dishes, and you hear a knock on the door. You did not know there would be a knock on the door at this moment. You dry your hands on your apron, and you open the door. And here I am. I suggest you anticipate this knock on the door. I WILL knock on your door.
One day, if only for a moment, you will open the door that I knocked on. You will find yourself spontaneously before Me in your Awareness. It is as if you are witnessing yourself. You are not making this happen. You are watching it happen. You are Light bowing down to Light, your Very Self.
Without effort or even intention on your part, you become all Light. Maybe just for a bleep of a moment, you are no longer encased in a body. Wow, you are light before Me.
It is as if the personal you has merged into Light. Solely, you are My Light. You, the individual you that you predicated your life on has disappeared as if by alchemy.
It is like you are swimming in the Ocean, and then you become the Light of the Ocean. Light is the Essence of the Ocean. You are Light.
Beloveds, say hello to Light, for Light is the Essence of you. You are Light. That’s all you are. When I say that this is all you are, this is not to say you are less. This is to say you are Great. This is to say that you are All.
For however long or short a time, if only for a moment, you come to your Realness. You see your Self. By God, you are Light!
You are not only Light. You are My Light. The Light I AM, you are. We are Light. We are the Magnificence of Light. My Magnificence is yours. There are no comparisons to make except in the world. Comparisons are a made-up world thing. We are Light.
There comes the time when it truly sinks into you that there is no you and no I as partitioned.
Yes, this is a State of Consciousness. This is Being. This is Love. There are no questions about it. Love IS. And you are Love. Furthermore, you, as if there were a you, are the Love I AM. You are simply Love. There is nothing else. You have no choice about it. Only in the world do you think you do.
Not knowing your Self leaves you open to difficulties. Not knowing yourself as your Self is ignorance. Ignorance and innocence are not the same. Ignorance is being closed, shut down, perhaps above it all. Ignorance asks for an I.D.
Innocence is openness. Innocence anticipates. Innocence doesn’t have a peephole to look through before opening the door. Innocence opens the door wide and says, “Welcome. Come on in. I have been waiting for You.”

Heavenletter #5424 To Your Delight and Surprise , September 30, 2015 

God said: 
You do know that there is more to you than you can at present picture or acknowledge. At the same time, there are moments when you do get a glimpse of yourself as a special Being.
I am not speaking of egocentric moments or hours.
I am speaking of times when, to your delight and surprise, your heart may happily skip a beat. There is no proof, yet on occasion, you have an awareness that you have been somehow part of Greatness. You may not quite catch how or what or where, yet you sense you are now back from a remarkable journey, as if you had been absent from Earth even for a split second.
Sometimes you have a hint of something not consciously known. Of course, you are greater than you appear. In Truth, there is no ordinary when it comes to you. You have believed in the fullness of the illusion of ordinariness when there is only the extraordinary.
I am certainly not making this up. Nor are you. You are not inflating yourself. This is not an ego-inflation trip. You may even wonder at your daring to sanction yourself to what cannot be explained. Your perception may be foggy, yet you are perceiving nevertheless.
There is nothing in the world that is impossible to happen. No matter how you put yourself down, there is also nothing in the world that you cannot do. Every human being is more than simply human. You are also suprahuman. You may not have superman muscle, yet you are super just the same. C’mon, you are more than a little person running around harried on Earth.
If you also think that an ox is just an ox, you are mistaken.
But back to you. What an amazing creation came forth from the breath of My breath and the first sounds I made. Life on Earth altogether is a miracle. What is not miracle? It has always been so, I am the Miraculist, as it were, and the perceived you, the Miracled.
It is amazing how I connected everything together at the same time as I left it free. If you could really see, you would be dazzled. You are a monument to Creation. The Created seeks the Creator. The Created and the Creator are not separated. You are more than part of Creation. Everything is simpler than you think. Everything is more integrated than you think. Everything is more intimate than you think. Everything is more connected than you think. Everything is more of a miracle than you dare think.
The clops of a horse’s hooves are heard around the world. Your every thought reaches around the world, even as your every thought is not consciously heard. There is nothing in the world that is not connected.
You already must know that you are connected to the Stars and the Moon. The Moon makes tides in the Ocean. Everyone knows that. The Stars and Moon are also connected to you. This is how it has to be. There is not one without the other. There is cohesiveness. Is this a surprise to you?
Only in the world do you believe in non-connectedness. Sequence and consequence that you believe in are not true. The world is simpler than you realize. More than half of what is, you haven’t begun to dream of.
All of Creation is a spinning of molecules and such. You are a spinning of molecules and such. The world spins, and you spin.
Everything in Creation is a treasure, and everything about Creation is a treasure. How can you not believe in miracles when you are a miracle?

Heavenletter #5420 Life on Earth Is a Gift from God, September 26, 2015 

God said: 
You have the opportunity of life on Earth. It is a gift I give to you. This life I give to you is not a penance. It is an opportunity. It is an opportunity of all possibilities. It is not to be taken for granted. This gift of life is not given to you to be an imposed sentence. Have you somewhere along the line had the idea that you are in servitude to a difficult life?
How different your life would be if you will carry the idea that life is a blessing. Keep this idea close to you, and you will reap benefits. For one thing, you will receive life differently. You will become a boon to your life and exhilarated about it.
Life in the world is a treasure. Life is to your advantage. Have respect for your God-given life. Disregard what you see as impediments. Your purpose here on Earth is not to grumble at its disparities. True, life on Earth may not always be your cup of tea. You may see life as bitter. Dear ones, drink the Goblet of Your Life as a champion downs his delicious protein drink. You are not meant to deny yourself.
I cast you as a leader. Show the way to yourself, and you will show the way to others. You were never intended to be downtrodden. When life doesn’t give you what you want, shrug your shoulders if you must, and then lightly keep going toward the sun. You cannot dispute that the sun also shines. Bask in it. Bask in the sun. Drink the rain, and bask in the sun.
Move through the hay fields.
Life is not to be endured. It is to be lived. Live it then. Whatever you do, honor the gift of life. Make your life your own. Thank your lucky stars for life. Bless your life.
Look, you did not arrive on Earth randomly. I did not close My eyes and chose you with my eyes closed. No, I said, Come, My beloved. Come to Earth for the good of the world. Be an angel on Earth and serve. Don’t mind so much the clouds, for they also serve. Obstacles are in the mind.
You may have responded:
“But, God, obstacles will injure my heart. They will be hard for me to withstand. Not everything can be right with the world, and I will not always know how to make my way in it. God, You have never worked for a living. You have not experienced stress. You, on Your mountain, do not know what life on Earth as a human being is while I have some recollection.”
And I say to you with My hand on your budding shoulder:
I send you onto a new journey in the world. I will be with you every moment and follow you, and you will follow Me. I am a Guide to you, and yet you are your own diviner. Sometimes you may trip up, or life trips you up. At the same time, the same life as you see it, you can see it differently. You ride a tour bus, and sometimes the bus you ride on gets stuck in the mud or gets a flat tire, or is too hot or too cold, or even goes in a direction you thought was not for you.
And, sometimes, it is as if the bus flies, and you find yourself the pilot, and you tip the wings, or the bus sails and cuts neatly through the seas. Sometimes, life as a boat leaks, and you bail water. You give service to the Universe. You serve. You will serve well.
You are a good sport. There is always something to love around the corner. And, if not this corner, the next.
Yet, let Me remind you, that you have a choice of what you make of what you see. In life in the world, there is more than the this and the that. Choose. Take your pick.
Will you do this for Me? Will you make your Free Will fully Good Will?

Heavenletter #5418 Unhappiness Revisited, September 24, 2015 

God said: 
So connected to Me are you as you read Heavenletters, yet you are shaken whenever old dishearted-ness starts stirring. You might call this unexpected stage of life Unhappiness Revisited.
You thought you had surpassed dismalness. You thought you were done with all that, yet, apparently, there was more to come. You don’t want it. You have had enough, yet heartache continues. You are bewildered. You are right, life is not supposed to be like this.
You ask yourself:
“Can suffering be no more than my way of thinking? Have I picked up suffering once again? If it’s somehow my choice, I demand to know why I would do that. If I am not the one who chooses this, then I am a hapless victim. Is unhappiness thrust on me, or do I choose it? Why would I?"
You would beat your chest to get this negativity out of your life.
Of course, you have had enough heartache for several lifetimes. It would be helpful if your re-emerging emotional pain would mean it is leaving once and for all. You thought it had already left, and now, here it is again, nipping at your heels.
Life is sometimes heavy on you. This was not supposed to happen. You sit defeated as if in an extended waiting room, waiting when it is your turn to be restored to happiness forevermore.  
Right now you do not know what would make you happy. You may think happiness isn’t for you. You don’t even know what happiness would look like right now, and you don’t know where to find it. You are good, however, at feeling down and incapable of finding happiness. You had happiness more than once. You had it once for a long time. Where did it go?
Now I ask you, beloveds, who or what denies you the happiness that once was a premium part of you? You may not even glimpse the possibility for happiness any longer. You thought I was your happiness, and, right now, now it seems that I do not award you your due. You would like Me to slip you into a more optimistic mood.
The doldrums you find yourself in right now amount to a mood. Who says that nothing can make you happy? You are the only one I hear saying that. Despondency is a passing shadow. It is never permanent. Dear ones, in the world, nothing is permanent except the true basis of you.
The true basis of you is filled with sunshine. The true basis of you is serene and unshakable, quite a contrast to all the ups and downs and back and forth aching of yours that you retreat to now.
Sense of trouble is an old acquaintance of yours. Much of your happiness has been newness, just as it is when you get a new pair of shoes or a house or a car. How you love newness.
You were so excited when I arrived at your doorstep. You breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back and enjoyed the new view. How happy you were with Me.
Letting go of the need to control allowed you to receive and accept great happiness, and then need to control resurfaced, and now you hang on to your outmoded refusal to let go. Come back to looking forward. Happiness is your natural state. Resistance is a monkey wrench thrown in.
Don't say: "How can I be happy? When is my happiness coming back?"
As soon as you claim your happiness, you will have it again. Yes, you are the one who says you have happiness or you don't. Accept your happiness. Say Yes. Bring your happiness forward. Open it now.

Heavenletter #5419 Compose Your Life, September 25, 2015 

God said: 
It is possible that you are more inclined to show that you are unloved rather than that you are loved. This is almost surely true when life seems to prove that you are predominantly unloved. It may be that you find feeling yourself unloved as some kind of victory.
"See how unloved you are," you may repeat to yourself. See all you don’t receive. See all that you have never received, or see all that has been taken from you. You may feel that life has not given you your due. One way or another, life has stolen from you. When this is what you surmise, what else can you be but bereft and misbegotten?
What if you are looking through the wrong end of the telescope?
Start all over. Start from the premise of love. Count the ways. You are entitled to love. You are entitled to breach your present perception. Toss out all that is not useful to you.
If the composition of your life at present is not in tune with love, then recompose your life. There are many notes available to you to choose from. Choose now.
If you have been playing bitter notes, change them. If you want a lighter tone to your life, you can have it. Come from a different premise. If you carry a burden, drop the idea of burden, and engage in sunlight over shadow. Do not sodden your life with dissatisfaction.
You may see yourself as a harried customer of life, yet a customer has choices of what he spends his money on. A customer is not shackled. You, a customer of life, do not have to buy anything you don’t want to. When you are in the supermarket, there is much presented to you. Have in mind what you are looking for. You are not at the mercy of the aisles.
If you see aisles of rotten apples, get out of there. If you should find yourself in the wrong store, leave it. Get your vision away from what you don’t want. Point it toward what you do want.
Do you have the idea that you belong where you don’t want to be? There is no aisle you have to stay in. Turn yourself around.
There is no need for you to stay where you don’t want to be. I am talking about where you are in your mind. Give life a chance. You may feel that life gives you a hard time. Pay attention to how you accept life. You don’t have to fight with life so much as if life were opposed to you and has you in a strangle-hold.
Perhaps you would feel lost if you were not opposed to your life as you see it. You are so accustomed to fighting. You don’t have to fight. Life may throw you curves, yet are you going to spend your life stuck in oppression or are you going to move on? A certain music may be playing, yet you are capable of turning the dial. Maybe the music isn’t stuck. Maybe you are stuck on a certain note.
You are in life. You are not an outcast. You are not only a receiver, you are also a player. Perhaps you are to grow taller. Perhaps you are to reach higher. For sure, you don’t have to stay where you are right now when you don't like it.
Get out of a state of hard-heartedness and resentment towards life. Life has many choices. Life is not one way. You can choose a different lane to go down.
Raise your sights. Change your story. Accept wisdom.

Heavenletter #5421 Leave Love in Your Wake, September 27, 2015 

God said: 
That you judge another is another way to say that you condemn. You can only condemn when you feel superior. All this is another way to say that you are being arrogant. You are setting yourself above another. When something comes up that you like, you are not being arrogant. You aren't seeing lack. In any case, you are welcoming someone instead of saying, “Halt.” You say, "You enter my heart."
When your child in kindergarten comes home with a painting he or she did on manilla paper or newsprint, the truth is you do love it. May it not be that your child brings home his art, and you don’t like it. Welcome and appreciate what your child brings to you.
This is how I am with you. Whatever you bring home to show Me, I love it, and I love you. I do not discard you in My heart because I would rather you would bring home something else. My heart welcomes you independent of your performance.
When your child is older and fails a test or a whole year, may your love be clear just the same. There is nothing that is more important than a heart of love. Of course, you are not happy that your child flunked something. That’s not the issue. The issue is love.
In the world, it is not easy to be the child who flunked, and, in the world, it is not easy to be the mother or father of the child who flunked. I come from a Higher World, and so do you.
In life, it may seem momentous to everyone that the child must pass a test and be promoted. But I am telling you that compared to love, this is a minor matter. Thank God you have a child. Thank God he is in good health. That test or class in school seems of enormous proportions, yet in terms of life in the world, a test isn’t all that much despite what you think. It all comes out in the wash. Love is much, and love is to stay.
Einstein’s teachers thought he had limited capacity. Who was it who had limited capacity? Einstein or the teachers? Was there ever anyone in the world whose take on matters has always been 100% correct?
Beloved, there is always another way to look at what may seem like a defeat. It is no defeat to love your child and to love him more. Help your child.
To see parents in action, sometimes you would think there is nothing more important than your child’s making his bed or picking up his socks. In human life, parents may seemingly care for appearances more than the hearts of their children.
If your child has so-called failed at something, he is already feeling unhappy. Why would he need a lecture from you? The child did not deliberately fail. It is possible he has given up. Too often in the world, it is a question of fitting your child into a system as if a certain ratio of performance is more important than the heart of the child. I do not know anything more important than a child’s heart. Your feelings are not more important. Perceived success is not. Wealth is not. Achievement of any kind is not.
Give your child a sense of self-worth. Your belief in your child goes beyond success. Your success is in your love and belief in your child.
Do not find your child wanting. Your child is not a commodity. Do not be so judgmental at all, and certainly not with your child. Watch out for being high and mighty and a decided know-it-all. Help your child know your love. Do not gang up against him.
I don’t say it’s any easier for you to deal with your child than it is for your child to deal with you and the world he lives in. Be a loving wise human being on Earth. Do not condemn. Leave love in your wake.

Heavenletter #5422 I Sing You a Love Song, September 28, 2015 

God said: 
I sing you a love song. Do you hear it? My song reverberates through every inch of you. From cell to cell, through your bloodstream, pulsed by your heart. The love song I sing pulsates through your heart along to the world, first from My heart to the heart you call yours. My heart bursts with love, and soon, very soon, you will also live fully the Oneness of Heart that We share.
The bursting of what We will still identify as your heart – bursting more than bubbling – will yet be quiet and calm. Your heart isn't flat, yet it will be calm. Your heart will be a silent opera. Oh, My, yes, your heart will be overcome with love shining through, yet your sense of your heart will be overcome - not with crescendo - but with silent waves of love. There will no longer be a contrast. Your heart will have ascended from which there is no departure, this, your heart in its natural state.
All the static and arguments and hurts will go. Now you will know what glory is, yet it will be no great fanfare. This Silence of Joy will clarify the pure stream of your heart. This is how butter is clarified into ghee, the impurities disappear, purity alone remains.
Purity is absence of what does not belong.
The fun is about to begin! It will be fun like how the Silent Sun rises in the morning. The Sun doesn’t jump up and down. It simply rises. The Sun does nothing but rise and shine. Whatever clouds do, no matter how clouds may shroud the Sun, the Sun does its thing. The Sun is imperturbable.
This is a comparison to your newly-known heart that you now come closer to in your awareness. I AM the Sun, and you are the Sun, and you are also the Sun you receive. You merit the Sun. You see through everything, and you see the Sun, and the Sun is yourself resplendent in waves of silence.
Waves is an important word. The sea has waves, for the sea flows in waves. You too flow in waves. Waves are the pulse of you. It is not that waves come and go. No, it is that One Wave continues to surge forward until there is no disputing that We are One. Seemingly fragile you on Earth are perpetual waves of love, and all love is Mine, just as you are Mine, just as you are My Self shining in splendor.
No more teetering and tottering for you. There is no cliff for you be at the edge of. No pit into which you can fall. Pure evenness of light. Pure evenness of love. There is nothing blah, yet there is Evenness of Wonder.
I sing a Song of Love. This is all I know to sing. I do not compose My Song. It is composed the way Creation composed Itself. This song arises of its own volition. I received it. I beheld it. It was singing itself. This Song of Love is spontaneous, and now you are spontaneous. Nothing needs to be planned out arduously. Now, no longer do you hold life a prisoner and tell it what to do.
If life were a Great Ship, you sail your life over the Mighty Main. You arrive in the Harbor of Love from which you no longer can vary. And why would you? You are Heaven bound, bound in the sense that Heaven is your destination. This is what you have been destined for. Ah, the Freedom of Love where nothing is a duty, and all is love bountiful.
Welcome Home, Myself. Welcome. We have always been here as One. Now the cataracts are gone from your Eyes of Love, and now you are fully In Love.
This is your story in a nutshell.

Heavenletter #5423 Touch Base with Your Desires, September 29, 2015 

God said: 
This is how life is meant to be: Easy.
Have even the slightest desire, and the next thing you know, your desire fulfilled appears right before you. Just know that all is taken care of. Touch base with a mild desire, and then you let go of the desire. Let go of it. Let go of it nice and easy, and this is how it comes to you.
Let’s clarify, however, before you loll around in a hammock waiting to have your desire served to you. If you want a college education, get out there, apply, and, once accepted, study. Perhaps if you are a great athlete, a college will come after you. Regardless, you make tracks.
At the same time as you take responsibility for your life, you are easy with it. Studying can be easy. Understanding can be easy.
When you focus on life’s being difficult, what are you expecting?
Letting go doesn’t mean letting go of responsibility. Worry and fear are not the same as responsibility. They are irresponsible. Let go of them.
In everything you think and do, you are going in a direction. You make motions. You take one kind of book out of the library and not another.
Everything that occurs is not by dint of your hard work. I will go as far as to say: You attract the fulfillment of your desires to you, yet there is also a larger view, and that is that there is always a Higher Power at work. You have that Higher Power at your service.
The fine point here is that that you go in a direction that makes it easy for Me to serve your desires. How about that!
We are not talking about a decision that I, God, seen as separate from you, make. I do not decide to help you or not help you. Your way of thinking and your way of living pave the way for your life. We could say you send signals to Me. You do not yell in a loud voice. Nor do you tiptoe around. You send Me clear messages. You clear the path. You make way for Me.
If you desire to be an opera singer, it’s unlikely that it will be up to Me to make you an opera singer just like that. And so you sing. And if you desire to be a writer, you write. Embrace what you desire. Desiring is not meant to be a strain. So you apply yourself, and you enjoy what you are working toward.
You know that there is more here than personal credit to you. You are the receiver. All is given to you. Even as you also give your whole life to what you receive, you are a receiver.
With something like Godwriting, it is clear that you are receiving it. It is delivered to you. It is not yours. You are an instrument that receives. All miracles that you see happening in your life are delivered to you.
When I say to you that everything is a gift to you, you might say: “Yeah, sure, what about a headache, God?”
You would swear that you did not invite a headache, yet, within the oak tree is the seed. Life may seem random yet not so random as you like to think. There is something worthwhile at work whether you see it or not. Nor is it valuable to wrack your brain as to how you might have merited what is seen as a difficulty. There is a whole lot of analyzing in the world.
I have an expression you may have noticed. It is: “So be it.” And that’s an expression for My children to use as well. It is not a passive statement.
Let Me hear you say: “So be it that I am at the juncture of life I am presently in. So be it, what I do next depends upon me. God succors me, yet I embrace God. I meet God at least half way."
For this moment you accept. And then you take it from here. You accept, yet you are not a bump on a log. Keep your eye on what you are going for. Go forward. No wasting time on whys and wherefores. Just move on. Come closer to your Self.

Heavenletter #5417 Why Dream Dreams?, September 23, 2015 

God said: 
This is your day. Every day is your day. This is your day to watch your dreams unfold. Not someone else's dreams. Yours. The object of your dreams is to dream them and invite them to come true.
You are not a beggar of dreams. Within the seed of your dreams comes your fulfillment. You are the dreamer of your life. So, of course, I extol you to dream and to dream big. Dreams do not HAVE to come true, yet, certainly, the more you dream and the bigger you dream, the more of your dreams there are to come true.
You do not have to stick with the same dreams. If you want to jump from dream to dream the way you jump from one stone to another to get across a stream, why, that is perfectly fine as well. Dreams are not a business you must start and follow according to rules. Dreams are meant for you to dream. The object of dreaming is to dream.
There are no rules against dreaming. There is freedom of dreaming.
Dreaming is how you expand your horizons. Consider dreaming like eating. In order to digest your food, you have to eat. Unless you dream, your desires are left dormant. All of life in the world is a dream anyway. There is every reason to dream big. Your subconscious will make of your dream what it wills. Never was it intended that you be tightfisted with your dreams.
Do not listen to the proponents of realism, for life without dreams makes for a short-changed life. Realistic doesn’t spark life. Realistic overrides life. Realistic puts the fires of life out. Realistic is a fire extinguisher. Realistic is a dampener of life. Realistic belies opportunity. Dreaming is the fuel of life. You are to ignite the wheels of life. It is for you to turn life on. Dreams are the button you push.
Dreams are good starters. Inventions begin with dreams.
Dreams are life ahead of time. Life is meant to be dreamed of. Dreams do not waste time.
No one has to believe in your dreams! You don’t even have to. Good Heavens, dreams would not be dreams if there were certainty that they would come true.
Certainly, you don’t have to know how your dreams will come true. That’s just how it is. There are no guarantees. Dreams don’t come with guarantees, nor are they meant to. Dreams give you lots of room to play in.
Consider dreams like leaves on trees. Some leaves fall off or fly away, and some leaves last long. Because a leaf falls, it doesn’t mean the leaf is wasted. Each dream serves its usefulness, and one dream leads to another.
The substance of your dreams is expansion. The seeds you sprinkle your life with are dreams. Without dreams, you are like an automaton. I speak in terms of routine. Grand dreams, however, stir your heart. I am within your heart.
Until you envision, how will you find your dreams? Let your dreams arise. Dreams are not eyebrows that you must pluck. Dreams are like undergrowth that nourish the soil. There is no telling what will come of dreams that occur to you.
You cannot figure dreams out ahead of time. Dreams are not tests you take. Dreams are to go as far as they take you. With dreams, you see possibilities of your life beforehand. There is no limit to dreams. Your future depends on your dreams. Give your dreams an opportunity to go where they take you. Dreams lead. Life follows.

Heavenletter #5416 So, Soar, September 22, 2015 

God said: 
Let go of old thinking, for old thinking keeps you where you are and where you don’t want to stay any longer. You no longer want to settle for status quo. I know you don’t. Unless you are on top of the world, why would you want to stay where you are?
If you want to be renewed, think again.
If, in life, you have been dragging your feet, think anew.
If you think life is not listening to you, get some new thinking under your belt.
New is not just a sales word. I do not look for some kind of recompense from you, unless you consider your reaching to greater heights as a reward to Me, for, of course, your flying high makes Me happy. You are far more than a sale I make, however. I do not look for you to increase My profit. You are My son or daughter. I am happy to be part of your growth. Very happy. This is My desire.
We are talking about new consciousness. Your new awareness equals the appearance of a new and faster direction in your life. New awareness works in your favor. New awareness means you influence your life in new ways. We are talking about your spontaneously reaching new heights by virtue of your new thinking, new dreams, new conductivity, a new you according to your desires. Think of deeper and higher heights and thriving inspiration.
New indicates a new take on life, a new understanding, and easier access to your deepest dreams beyond physical manifestations. Why not live a deeper and greater life? Let’s repeat this: Why not live a deeper and greater life?
If you wish to create more of what you desire for yourself and the world, rise a step in your consciousness, and you will be on a higher step in plain sight of a greater vista. This is not a new idea. Likely it’s worthwhile to be reminded of this idea often and gravitate to newer heights where your dreams will grow wings.
I do not speak of a step by step adherence to this idea or any idea. I speak of an enthusiasm for new ways that will jump-start your life on a higher bent. I speak of spontaneous combustion. I do not speak of an add-on. I do not speak of taking a course. Often that may mean you rely on someone else’s energy and not your own. I say you have as much of My energy within you as anyone. I am not opposed to your taking courses. I am for your valuing yourself and not giving over your value to others to determine. Keep your worth, and venture forth as your heart takes you.
How do you get into new ways of thinking? Be open. Desire new ways of thinking to come to you. Desire. Desire. Be inspired to desire. And then when you are reminded of your desire for new ways, feel your desire accomplishing itself, and desire it again. Desire alone attracts its own accomplishment. We speak deeper than how to’s. We are speaking of less trying and greater effortlessness. As your consciousness rises, so will your life. We are not thinking of an extraneous quick-fix.
We are speaking now of desire for more of your Higher Self available to you in your daily life now, not someday. Now. This is realizing your proclivity for Greatness. This isn’t hard work. This is easy. This is openness. Openness for what? This is openness for change. This is openness for new. This is openness for the Freedom to go for Greater.
Put your Free Will into action. You are free to soar. So, soar.

Heavenletter #5415 Desiring Happiness, September 21, 2015 

God said: 
No matter how difficult your life may seem to you right now, you are founded with My love, and the truth is that, not only do you have My love, you cannot escape it. Whatever you may be going through, no matter how dismally it assails you, no matter how rightfully or not rightfully, you have Me fully with you. I am a full-fledged God. I am not a retiring God.
Your life may go up and down, yet I am steady. Despite despair you may go through, you worry because you worry. You suffer because you suffer. Your heart aches because your heart aches. With affliction or without affliction, your heart finds despair on its own reconnaissance.
Although you often find support for despair, sometimes despair visits you without any sensible reason, yet, there you are, filled with despair. It’s like, somehow, despair got triggered, and you really don’t know what brought it on. Suddenly, despair is nesting within you. Yesterday you were pretty good, and today you find yourself in disarray. How, why, for how long will you continue to feel this way, you don’t know.
Dear Ones, perhaps despair within you gets covered up and sometimes, alas, despair leaks out and blindsides you. Somehow or another, despair lurks within you. Regardless of what outside events seemingly cause this Intruder Named Despair, the source is within you. Despair may capitalize on outside events, yet despair gets on center stage directly from inside you. You have carried despair within you for a long time, way too long.
I understand that you may not be able to deplete all manifestations of despair’s grip on you by your will, yet despair does not have to ravage you. You don’t have to give despair such leverage. You give despair way too much permission. Despair is not mightier than you. Oh, yes, despair may give you sucker punches. You do not have to succumb to them. You do not have to go down for the count. You don’t have to give in to despair. Despair arrives, and you are receptive to despair. Don't go along with the idea that despair is mightier than you or has a rightful place in your life at all.
It’s like you credit despair more than you credit happiness. Happiness is a force for life. Make friends with happiness. Turn away from despair. Despair is its own kind of ego.
You give despair too much credit. You may make it easy for despair to take over while you fuss around questioning happiness. Support happiness as you do despair. You don’t insist that despair prove itself. You enter wholeheartedly into despair while you wait and wait for happiness to prove itself. Happiness is not always so assertive.
You may also be wanting to defend despair and make it very real. You readily admit despair and give happiness a hard time. You want happiness to speak louder.
At this very moment, you can raise the flag of happiness in all its colors. You can walk over to happiness, beloveds. If happiness is on the other side of the street, cross to the other side of the street. You have been quick to join arms with despair. Join arms with happiness.
Despair gets your attention. It centers you on yourself. Despair seems to tap you on the shoulder. It calls you over to it, and you go running. At the least, despair notices you while it may seem that happiness walks right past you.
You, yourself, can tap happiness on the shoulder. Happiness will stop for you. May you be as quick to notice happiness in its early stages as you are to await the grasp of despair. Make your choices, beloveds. You are not such a victim as you like to think.
If you are, indeed, such a victim, you are the one who decides you are and hangs on to the idea.
