Heaven Sutra #7 Happy Is the Heart in Heaven 

God said: 
Gloria to God:

Dear Almighty Father, what would You like to tell me this morning?

God:

Decisions. Decisions are made by the heart. All decisions are heart decisions.

Gloria:

Yet when someone makes a decision against his heart?

God:

He is following the fear in his heart.

Gloria:

Let's say a man doesn't marry the woman he loves, because of family or societal pressure. Could it be that deep down he knows the marriage won't work?

God:

That is possible, certainly. Also likely is his fear of its not working.

Gloria:

I wanted to marry a certain man so many years ago, like 30 years ago, and I really and truly think it would not have worked; I suspect that marriage for me with anyone would not have worked, but I am certain it would not have with that man, no matter how much I loved him, or thought I did.

God:

In that particular case, the decision was out of your hands — or was it? And what you mean by "working out" and "not working out" and what I mean may be two different things.

Gloria:

Yes.

God:

Whatever transpired, it worked out. If you can see that, how much lighter you will feel. The situation worked itself out due to the inner direction of your hearts. No matter how distraught you were when that man — to your mind abandoned you — within you was an ever so tiny thread of relief.

Now, let's go to more inspiring matters. What is the lesson in today?

A Course in Miracles, Lesson 272:
"How can illusions satisfy God's Son? … What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will accept no less than You have given me … Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell, and love will happily replace all fear."

< p>Gloria:
I sure want Heaven, dear God. I hope I have chosen it.

God:

Pay attention to your thoughts. If they are on joy, you have chosen Heaven. If they are on less than joy, you have not.

Gloria:

Can it be so simple?

God:

It is so simple.

Gloria:

Last night before I fell asleep, I saw so many faces, so real, one after the other. Past life faces?

God:

Perhaps. Perhaps divinities.

Gloria:

Do You mean deities?

God:

Not necessarily. Perhaps you were seeing saints.

Gloria:

The pictures were like great paintings, some of them anyway.

God:

How beautiful each face you saw, yes?

Gloria:

Yes, but not beautiful in the common sense, but beautiful in the art sense.

God:

Happy is the heart in Heaven. That means whosoever is happy on earth has chosen happiness and is in Heaven. All have moments of happiness, and those are moments of Heaven. Even those spare moments are worth a lot. And many wait for more of them and believe that Heaven descends to them rather than their ascending to Heaven.

Hands from Heaven reach down to lift you, but you must look up and reach out your hands. If you are looking glumly at your feet, how can the hands from Heaven reach your hands?

Gloria:

But in human life, is it really possible to be happy all the time?

God:

When you are not attached to the happenings. Everything in human life is temporary except God. Will souls you love fly out of their bodies and leave the body behind? Yes. Will circumstances and the way of life around you change? Yes. It must be they will. And you decide whether those changes grieve you.

Gloria:
I saw a glimpse of something on TV that mentioned how many years ago President Kennedy died. I thought, "And, oh, President Kennedy, and now Jackie is long gone too." I know that is how life goes, but I do feel sad.

God:

Gloria, instead of gone, think risen. Jackie has risen too.

Gloria:

It's not even that they longed to be together.

God:

But now they are truly together, in the true sense of together, with love and with God, and you can be sure they are in Heaven.

Gloria:

Lauren chatted with someone on Internet yesterday who thought that only kings and the very good had God in them, bad people did not. By that person's vision, dear God, hardly anyone would be in Heaven.

God:

No one is barred. No one is refused. No one is separated. Even the judgers are welcomed. There is no least in Heaven.

Gloria:

Did I take Y ou away from the subject of choosing Heaven?

God:

Yes. When you are with Me, when you are aware of being with Me, you are in Heaven.

Gloria:

Yes. And yet I will have tears and sadness, even when You are talking to me. I wonder if I have the belief that it is not really possible to be happy much on earth.

God:

You do have that belief. Surely that was your mother's belief.

Gloria:
Yes.

God:

Now that you are aware of that belief, a misconceived belief, you can trash it. It is possible to be consistently happy on earth so long as you rely on your Source, My strength, My wisdom, My joy. Do you think I am ever unhappy?

Gloria:

I know the answer is that you are always happy, but I have to wonder whether I really believe that.

God:

Gloria, if you were 100% in full Light, full Strength, full Awa reness; if you saw only the Truth around you; if you saw the Light of Christ in all faces; if you saw only good; if you had full knowledge of Truth that all is good; if you had vast vision and saw a beautiful dance of life and heard the music of it, felt a sweet breeze, sniffed jasmine flowers all day, saw only Light and art around you and so on, could you be less than happy?

Gloria:

No, my heart would be full with joy, full of You.

God:

Know these two things: I am Joy, and you can be happy on earth.

Love exists. This melding of hearts exists. Love walks the earth, the same love that fills Heaven, the same Life Force that creates babies and flowers, arranges and turns the planets and the seasons. This same Light of Love that is in Heaven swims in your heart. All the fullness of Joy and Light is there. You have tied little strings around your human heart. You placed them. You can displace them. And then you will know Hea ven always, and you will feel Me stationed in your heart, lighting it up like diamonds. You will see Me sitting in all hearts, and you will know that all hearts are your own.

Gloria:

Dear Father, I think when the sages say that in enlightenment we have no desires, they mean that we have no need to control outcomes.

God:

Good.

Gloria:

It also occurred to me that the whole stream of life is unstressing; it's unwinding, unwinding patterns, unwinding accumulated stress. That's this whole process. And then when we are unwound from the past, from past lifetimes and a moment ago, we are then loosed from the bonds of ignorance and thus have liberation. All the unstressing is individual selfish ego stuff, and when it's unwound, we are One with You in every way.

God:

Good.

Gloria:

I also had another thought which I can't remember now. I am in the mid dle of meditating, but these thoughts were so strong to write.

Later…

Gloria:

I am reading a book I think is fine, named Soul Psychology. The author has a good chapter on A Course in Miracles. I think his chapter may well bring people to read A Course in Miracles, and I assure You I am not knocking this man or his book. Everything he says strikes me as true, but he has an understanding that isn't mine. He gives information and understanding, and I believe that for me it's not the information and understanding. Reading A Course in Miracles is an experience for me. It's not the insights, but rather my getting the insights. I have to do it myself. There is something about being in Christ's presence while reading the book. Someone can interpret, interpret correctly, but cannot translate Christ's consciousness.

I have heard someone say that knowledge in the books remains in th e books. I believe that; knowledge doesn't just pop out at you.

At the same time, I think books have consciousness, and having books of high consciousness around has to be beneficial. Is there some truth in what I am saying?

God:

Yes.

Gloria:

If I had books of pornography on my shelves, even unread and unlooked-at books, they would have some kind of effect. Spiritual books, which I do have on my shelves, must also have some kind of effect.

God:

Yes. And also you affect the books. Your attention. One reflects the other.

Gloria:

There are certainly New Age spiritual books I buy — used for maybe 20 cents — that look good, but, when I get them home and spend a few minutes with them, I find I really don't want to read them, or I can't. Like the consciousness is off-kilter or just weak. It's better to recycle those books?

God:

Yes. Ever ything has an effect on everything. Attention is power. Take care what you put your attention on. Your attention is always good to have on Me, and Mine is on you.

Gloria:

Almighty Father, my dear mother never knew how to have fun. My father knew how to have fun. I don't seem to know how. Lauren does. She had friends over, and you should hear their laughter and fun.

God:

You are unleashing from your mother's sadness and sorrow, and you will have more fun. And Lauren will have more fun. I am a total Absorber and Radiator of fun.

Gloria:

I was thinking about a particular person and her situation, and that maybe social services should come in before someone gets hurt. And then I think, no, it's theirs to work out, and interference isn't help. Even if one should kill the other, it's theirs to work out. Is that true, God?

God:

There is truth there. In this situation, you are absolutely right. These are two adults. And you also know that, from your own childhood, you were better off that no one intervened.

Sometimes there has to be intervention. If you saw someone beating a horse, you would intervene. When you have a sense to intervene, ask yourself if it is for the sake of the other or others, or for your own sense of virtue. If it is for your own sense of virtue, don't do it.

Gloria:

The other day, when I was going to Ginnie's for a massage, there was a dog alone standing on the edge of the street. It was freezing outside, and I'm sorry I didn't stop and take the cold bewildered dog. I was late for Ginnie's, and I had meat in the car. I didn't stop. God, well, what would it really have mattered if I had been late, and I could have given the dog the meat I'd bought? I feel so bad.

God:

Next time, Gloria. Next time you see a soul in need, follow your heart and stop. I will tell you that tha t dog is fine; someone found him and took care of him. Next time it can be you.

Sometimes you are just programmed, programmed that you must not keep someone waiting and that you have to be practical about your purchases. Next time, think, who is in need? Don't berate yourself over this. You will have other opportunities. Please let this go from your heart, My heart's love, My Gloria.

Gloria:

Thank You. I had another insight. I realize that things will never be the way I think they should be. People will not. But they are the way You think in that You are allowing them the freedom You have given and are letting them work things out themselves.

God:

Yes.

Later…

Gloria:

Dear God, Lonnie is deeply depressed about her weight, feels she will never be thin, and that she might as well pig out. She feels that if she did get thin, she would gain it all back, and if even one person lov ed her, she could get thin. She doesn't believe anything Karen said to her; Lonnie says she can't draw and so on.

I am talking to you on my behalf. It's very hard for Lonnie, but it's so icky when she gets this way. I don't know what to say or do but stay as far away from her as I can. What can I say or do?

God:

Nothing. It's Lonnie's thing, not yours. You can listen; you can be supportive, and you can NOT take it too seriously. Above all, don't get caught up in it.

Gloria:

Why won't she follow a diet and lose weight?

God:

She wants her cake AND to be thin. She wants to eat anything she wants, and lose weight.

Lonnie is demanding to be thin and cannot accept that overindulgence is the culprit.

Lonnie would do well to join a group. She needs tremendous support in this, and needs to put herself into a situation where she can get it. She needs a group. You can't do it for her.

She is like a student who isn't passing math, let's say. She is great in everything but math. She would do anything to pass except study more and get help.

It is Lonnie's choice. She can struggle by herself. She can indulge and gain more weight. Or she can start a program and get the support she needs in order to continue with it. It's Lonnie's choice. What does she want more — to eat or to get slim? She will choose what she wants.

Whatever she chooses, she has to know it was her choice, and not a hardship I foisted on her.

I love Lonnie. She is a beautiful angel on earth. Her choices are clear. Not easy for her, but clear.

Lonnie waits for the day when she can eat all she wants and get or stay slim. So do you.

If one eats too much or eats too much of fattening foods consistently, they will gain pounds. If they consistently eat less, they will lose pounds.

Some might say that overeating is an illness. It is a substitute for reality.

The r eality is that Lonnie is a beautiful person, and I love her.

She makes life hard for herself. To use her expression, she shoots herself in the foot.

Gloria:

Dear God, it's like Lonnie gives up ahead of time. She won't do art because she "isn't any good". That's not true, but she won't even do anything to get good and see what she can do. It's very hard for me to stay neutral.

God:

Stay neutral you must. Lonnie will pick herself up. She is pouting now and stamping her foot and shaking her fist at Me. I, the One Who loves her totally, unconditionally, and irrevocably. I love Lonnie with all my heart, and I wish I knew what to do to help her feel loved and to have the slim body she desires. Perhaps she would pray to Me.

I shall give her especial attention tonight. Lonnie's goodness should be noted. But it is her self-negativity that keeps men away, not her weight.

Have Lonnie say, "Dear Almighty Father, it is m y desire to be slim and attractive, in my eyes as well as the eyes of the world. I pray You to help me turn my attention away from food. I pray you send a wonderful man to me because this is the year I wish to receive love and have someone to give it to, to receive a lifelong partner, and for me to feel myself the woman I wish to be. Will You help me? Will You help me have a better attitude? Will You help me to get back to meditating? I cannot do these things all by myself, and I ask for your help and blessings."

And I will say, "Lonnie, My dear child, I will help you in every way, and I need you to help Me too. I need your help in order for all your desires to be fulfilled. Please help Me."

Gloria:

Dear God, I spoke to Lonnie, and I feel like I do everything wrong.

God:

Give her the space she needs. You do not need to worry about Lonnie. Let Me take care of her. You take care of Our writing and your house. All will be well, you'll see.

Gloria:

Dear God, is there something You would like to tell me?

God:

Be patient with yourself and others.

Happy Holidays! God Is Alive and Well

It isn’t always easy for My Children to discern strong ego from Strength of Will. Of course, you want to be strong. You don’t want to be weak-willed and wobbly. You have heard it before that I, God, am Your Strength. Beloveds, you hold up the Universe at My Will. It is My Will that you be strong in Goodness. Strength is not solely strong in Faith. Faith is not quite strong enough. You are not to have faith in Nothing.  Faith is a Real Thing. When there is certain knowing, there is Knowledge in Truth.

Faith is to be True. Faith is Holy Knowledge. Never is it My Desire that you have Faith in Falsehood. At the same time, Faith is not something on the level of being proven, proven, that is, in the meaning of Faith proved or in line to be proved. No, I am not telling you to prove your Faith. Faith that has to be proven is not on the level of Truth. 

Factual is not a good enough an example of Faith. Faith is larger than believing. You can believe that Faith is Good, yet that doesn’t necessarily follow that Faith is at your beck and call. Pretty much, everyone on Earth carries doubt until a time comes when doubt recedes, and the dams of ignorance opens wide and lets loose, and belief in the deepest Truth is held just the way the Sun comes out every day.

 Everyone knows what Bright Truth is. Like the Sun, Bright Truth shines in your eyes. It isn’t like applying make-up or like glitter patted on.

 There is more to Life than eye-shadow and more to Life than contrast.

< p> Life Itself is Holy, Holy Holy Life. Disgrace is not to be applied to Life. The world can display disgrace, yet this is not Truth. That is Truth conceived on a faulty level. Therefore, it is unTruth. There is no purpose assigned to Life that falls into a category of disgrace. Disgrace is a Lie applied to the surface of Life. Never do I speak of disgrace. Such an idea is Falsity Supreme. Disgrace is more like a faulty white-wash except it is red paint. Truly, the concept of disgrace is war paint. It is a blackwash. It is Beauty Sullied. Beauty is True. This has been said. Now I say it, and I say it evermore.
Sand is bleached. Sun leaves an effect. The Sun blesses. If you live under the Sun, you are blessed. I bless you with the Light from the Palm of My Hand. Do you begin to understand how Love is True. There is no sin to rescue you from. The idea of sin is shady. Sun is the Bright Love that course s through everyone and everything. That the Light of the Sun pours through You is Truth. Anything less than Bright Light is less than Truth.

Holiness was not created separate from Life. Holiness is not an adjunct to Life. It is the Essence from which Life is borne. Sin is a concept and not the stuff of Life, not at all. No puppy is sinful. No baby lion carries sin. No Human baby carries sin. Of course, remember that I encourage all to leave the past behind. There is the story of Lot’s Wife.

There are dreams to dream. There is Truth to be beheld. There is Truth to look forward to. Truth is innocent, and Innocence is to be beheld. All that is good is True. Behold the Truth of Creation. Remorse has no place on Earth. Remorse is not noble.  Where did that idea come from?

Let Truth course through your blood stream and pour forth from the innocent Beauty of your eyes to announce itself to the world.

Heaven Sutra #6 The Brass Ring of Divinity 

God said: 
Gloria to God:
Dear Heavenly Father, what is Your message for me today?

God:

Sing a refrain that circles the globe. A refrain that says two things: "God is here" and "God is love."

Sing it silently or loud, but sing it. That is your song as it is Mine.

God and Love are One, as My children and I are One, for they are love, a clove of love that opens up to itself.

A key word here is open. If all were open to love, you would not have to sing this song. When the heart is closed to full opening, love is kept at bay, outside, waited for, wanted, but not admitted. If human hearts dared to open to give love and receive, fully open, wide open, no nets, then all that would be known is love. Love would be everyone's name. All would see and hear Me, and all would know that Love shines the stars and rolls the Moon and dips the Sun up and down.

All would know that whatever came out from the ground was Love itself, shooting up. Branches would be known as Love hanging down. The refrigerator would be filled with Love. Bookshelves would hold sheaves of Love.

Traffic would be Love greeting Love, and store owners and customers would exchange Love.

Money would be mere tokens of Love, tokens second to their Truth.

Rain and sun would be love in the streets.

Footprints would leave marks of Love.

Love would steam up from the streets.

Trolley cars would ring Love.

Street signs would say Love.

Neon lights would flash Love.

There would be one word, one thought, and it would be Love.

For, if truth be known, that is the Reality. It is the Reality now, buried under slush: only Love is.

Open your heart to Love. How about today?

Gloria:

Dear God, that is so beautiful. But as it was writing, Lauren and the puppies came up. Lauren started to give me another lecture about getting someone to shovel . I got upset. She left in a snit. The point is: here I was, immersed in worlds of love, and then I defended myself against "attack."

Actually, I brought it up. Lauren said, "It's snowing again." And I said, "The shoveling you did helped." Then she started the lecture including, if she had someone doing for her what she does for me, she wouldn't let them shovel and so on.

Maybe the supporting me is really getting to her.

I always shoveled, and gladly. I enjoyed it. But now it kills my low back and hips. I don't mean ache. I mean pain.

So, dear God, where is Love. Where is mine? Where is Lauren's? I'm ready to have the door between our apartments permanently locked.

And I'm also tired of my heart breaking because of Lauren's emotional pain.

Please help me, my Heavenly Father. I love Lauren more than anything in the world, and we squabble.

Sometimes I wonder if these things happen so that there are human questions for me to ask You.

God:

You create this. When you are immersed in writing to Me, it is better if you don't have your daughter come up. That is one.

Two is: you get to the end of yourself. I mean you are not thinking at all. You are a fast reactor. Quick response. You, who, when with other people that don't mean much to you, are slow to express what you feel, when with your daughter, you forget your manners altogether.

Three: Do the wand of white light for Lauren every morning.

Four: You both need to go to bed earlier.

Five: See if you can find someone to shovel, dear Gloria. Don't be stubborn. Try to say Yes to your daughter. Practice it.

Six: You can decide that someone will come to your door to shovel.

Seven: Remember Me. I am not separate from your daughter. I do not live only in your notebook and through your pen. I am in your daughter also. I am in you and in Lauren, so what is strife but nonsense, static that doesn't amount to anything, but is an affront to love, a cover-up of love, a disregard of your hearts.

Gloria:

Dear God, I choose Christ's vision, but how do I DO it?

God:

By choosing it. Be not hard on yourself. Have My patience. Remember, it isn't patience. It is knowing the sure outcome. So know, know it, know it, deep in your heart, that you will live Christ's vision. Wrap your daughter in My love. Her true face shines now, true?

Gloria:

Yes.

God:

And use the white wand in the morning before you and Lauren speak and thus smooth the way before friction can start.

Remember that Jesus, the man, went through all the things you do. He, the person, did not know he was born to greatness. He did not fully know any more than any child on earth; at the same time, each man's heart knows that he is more than what he seems, that human existence is more than what it seems. In the human heart lies the kno wledge, hidden, refused, unclaimed, that he is a prince, God's heir and holy Son, and that this apparent suffering is only an act.

Jesus realized soon. His heart quickened. And by himself (with Me), he stepped over his hurting humanness and caught the brass ring of divinity. So shall you. So shall all.

Move forward. Take one step and then another. Leave behind what is behind. Do not carry it. That is burden, carrying the past, the imagined past, the sum of misunderstandings and projection. Carry only the present, which carries you!

Be not discouraged. That is an old habit. You set forth daily on your voyage to Me and think you can't make it, and you half trudge forward, and you half sit down.

I assure you I lead you, and I send messengers to lead you. You know who these messengers are. But I will also tell you that all who seem to hold you back, and seem to wish to hold you back, are also My messengers.

Not one person, not one experience, has as its pur pose but to enlighten you, to put you or keep you on track.

You are prodded and led and nudged in the direction of Me. It is a path of vision you walk on because I am here all the time, and you look past Me.

I am an amethyst in each heart. In yours. In all's. And you see lumps of coal. You see ashes where Light reigns. So look to the Light. The Light beckons you. It says, "See Me. I am the heart of God. I am in each human heart. And look at your own heart and see Me thriving there. I beckon and beacon you. I am your true Heart. Accept Me. Put your hand over your heart and feel Me beating there."

Separate the wheat from the chaff. Separate it by loving, first God, then yourself, then others, and also know those three are One. There is only One. Wherever you go, how far advanced, how deep into forays of mathematics or physics or words and poetry, there is only One.

Now, do your meditation, and in silence I will hold your hand over My heart, and you will know We are One.

Gloria:

Dear Father, after I meditated, I called Lauren up and she came back, and I read her what You said, and we both felt better.

But do You remember I wrote that maybe the door between should be permanently locked? Well, it never happened before, but Lauren had locked herself in here with me! Lauren said, "But I'm on the wrong side!" God, I think you are a Jokester! Anyway, we laughed.

God:

Laugh a lot, Gloria dear. It is a clearing of some of the static. Laughter says, "God is here after all."

Gloria to God:

Dear God, what is Your Will for me tonight?

God:

As always. Be happy. Love. Rest in Me. These are My three mandates.

Gloria:

Are there more?

God:

There are. I'll tell you more another time. But these three mandates are one and the same.

Now, I suggest you start meditating. Before y ou do, I want to tell you that you and Lauren passed a big milestone today. It will be easier for you both. Take My love with you as you close your eyes to rest in joy.

Love,
God

Heaven Sutra #4 How to Peel the Banana of Life 

God said: 
My child, you are the sunshine in the window at early dawn. You brighten the day. You are a shining soul on earth. You are the sun coming out. You give comfort to the earth. You reflect My light and beam it out to the hungry souls on earth.

You are My vision. You are what I envisioned. You are My heart's delight.

I tell you this to express My joy at what I have created. Each of My children on earth is a part of Me that I long to have recognize Me as I recognize them.

I am the Loving Father of all the lonely ones who think they are orphans and roam the earth alone. I seek them, and find them, but they do not recognize Me. Sometimes they do not see Me at all. They don't say, "Who is this?" or "What's this?" They say, "Whaaa? Where? Nothing is here."

I say: "Here am I! Here am I!"

My words do not reach them.

Never do I fail to call to My children, lost on earth without their Father, wandering for they know not what, wandering for the sweet nectar of satisfaction that I so generously bequeath and that they don't see.

They have wanderGod. They are looking to find something. They look in many places. For moments, they think they have found what they sought, but it is a toy that enchants today and tomorrow does not.

All seek for Me. They know not My Name. They think it is Pleasure, but I am Joy. They distract themselves with noise. They think I am Forgetfulness. But I am Fulfillment. I am that which is to be remembered, not run from. They mistake Me for another.

Why hide? Why run? Why flee from yourself, your holiness, your Heaven?

You exist and you cannot be run away from.

Look up higher than your feet.

Gloria, you remember the story of your father as he arrived off the boat from Russia to America? A kind man gave him a banana. Your father had never seen a banana before. When he started to eat it, the kind man started to take it back from your father. Your fathe r ran away from the kind man. When the kind man caught up to your father, he didn't want to take the banana; he wanted to show your father how to peel a banana.

Life is the banana I have given you. Like your earthly father, Gloria, My children run from Me, perceiving smallness rather than love. But soon or late, I catch up, show truth, and My children recognize the goodness of life, and the One Who gave it.

Gloria:

Dear God, the meaning of my dad's story is greater than I ever thought. I thought it was a story of how we act based on what we perceive.

God:

The innocence of your earthly father is the innocence of all My children.

All experiences in a lifetime point to Me. You make discoveries. A stranger reminds you of your path. A word rekindles a flame in your soul, and all the time it was I calling to you.

Your earthly father thought the kind man wanted to take something away from him when the kind man want ed to give him knowledge. When the kind man caught up to your innocent father, your father learned how to peel the banana of life.

This is what I teach you, Gloria. That is the simplicity of My teachings and your walk on earth.

Receive Me, and you receive knowledge of your heart. Receive Me, and you receive the love you are. Receive Me, and I take away your burdens. Receive My children, and you receive Me.

Receiving Me means to awaken to Me. And who am I but your Self.

Another story of your earthly father many years later. After being unconscious, when you father awoke, he said, "Where I am? Where I am?"

This is a sweet question all ask as they begin to wake up. That is more than beginning. It is a signal of the beginning that has already begun. The beginning was waking up. Next was the question.

How good are questions. All questions have a common answer: God is here, God is here, waiting for you to wake up, to open your eyes, and to see Him. Ask questions.

Gloria:

Dear God, my father would be so happy that You used examples from his life. My father longed to be recognized.

God:

As do I, your Heavenly Father.

Gloria:

He always longed for peace.

God:

I give peace.

Gloria:

He used to think, to ponder. Now I think he was getting faraway glimpses of You.

God:

He was getting faraway remembrances.

No matter how far someone may think he is from Me, he is not. He is as close as My hand. He is closer, for he is in My heart, as I am in his. I am always close.

A faraway remembrance means a third step in recognizing Me.

First, the waking up. Second, the question. Third, the eyes start to catch a faraway glimpse of memory.

Gloria:

What is fourth?

God:

The heart sees.

Gloria:

Fifth?

God:

The humans can name what they see.

Gloria:

Sixth?

God:

They call Me.

Gloria:

Seventh?

God:

They see Me standing before them. They hear My voice. They know Our common Will, and they follow It, and that is Heaven. And that is where you are.

Gloria:

And there is more?

God:

Always. That is infinity.

Gloria:

So, it is always a beginning?

God:

Yes.

Gloria:

There is always another rung on the ladder?

God:

Better to say that the eye opens wider. You are already at the top. There is nowhere to go but where you already are. All comes to you anyway.

Gloria:

So, knowing You is receiving?

God:

Allowing yourself to receive. I wonder why My children are afraid of Me. They have accepted a fearful false illusion of life and fashioned a phantom of a God, a harsh Taskmaster, a Faultfinder.

Tell them, Gloria, that I find no fault. There is no fault beyond failing to know who they are which is Myself. My Name is God. What is yours?

Gloria:

Child of You — child of God.

God:

God's own Self.

Gloria:

It is always amazing to me to see where You take me in the writing. It is like I am blindfolded. I have no idea where You are going to take me. You always take me somewhere, and it is always a surprise. Is there no end to the surprises?

God:

No end.

A Course in Miracles, Lesson 269:
"My sight goes forth to look upon Christ's face."

God:

And that is Reality. Beyond appearances. Appearance is not Truth. Truth is Truth. Look beneath and beyond the appearance, and what is there but your Self?

Later…

Gloria to God:

Dear God, Lonnie has talked to a wonderful man, Barry, on Internet. Karen affirmed that he is special. Lonnie sent him a picture of herself when she was thin. Stan, a friend of Lonnie's, made the remark that no one will ever love her overweight. Lonnie hasn't told Barry that she has gained a lot of weight since the pictures were taken. Barry wants to meet with Lonnie.

The real thing is that Lonnie believes what Stan said — before he even said it. And yet beautiful Lonnie likes people for themselves, not their looks.

What would You like to say on Lonnie's behalf?

God:

Oh, the relative! Lonnie does not give herself enough credit so why would she give Barry credit? Being thin isn't the answer to everything. Lonnie will do well to write down all the reasons why Barry would enjoy her company. Tel l her to make a fast long list. Then suggest she write down all the reasons why she deserves happiness and why she deserves a good man.

Lonnie will do well to remember that her value isn't set by COSMO or Stan. I set her value. She is a magnificent person on all levels.

Lonnie can have all her dreams fulfilled. And yet, relative life is a risk.

Lonnie would do well to read the Bible.

Gloria:

The Bible? Not A Course in Miracles?

God:

The Bible for Lonnie. Suggest that Lonnie start painting. Have her get involved in creativity. Send Barry something she has painted.

Lonnie may want to call Karen again about what she feels, leave a message.

Suggest that Lonnie copy over her notes from Karen, select key quotations, and pin them up where she will see them.

Also suggest that she read over My reply to the gentleman from a few weeks ago.

Suggest that Lonnie focus more on how she can be good for Barry. Give him a chance to know her. Tell him right away that she has gained weight.

How can she feel strong when Barry is responding to a svelte Lonnie? She will feel better when she tells him. I cannot tell Lonnie that Barry will or will not be affected. That is up to Barry. I can say he is a good man who can offer much to her.

When Lonnie sent younger pictures of herself without explanation, Stan sensed her feelings of weakness and reflected them to her.

Tell Lonnie that I desire that all her desires be fulfilled.

Tell her to put in her request, and then let it go.

But, above all, truth. Anything less is a weakener.

Later…

Gloria:

Dear Father, what do you wish to tell me tonight?

God:

What makes your heart heavy?

Gloria:

How do I ease Lonnie's aching heart?

God:

This is Lonnie's own creation, and she wi ll deal with it. Be her friend, support her, and try to stay out of it, dear Gloria. You cannot take someone's heartache for them. Stay neutral, will you?

Heaven Sutra #5 God's Eternal Message 

God said: 
Gloria to God:

Dear Almighty Father, what would You like to tell me this morning?

God:

What is on your mind?

Gloria:

Well, I seem to be bombing out in terms of the relative. I had a raw food lunch at Ginnie's today, and I was not happy. Food was divine. Ginnie is great. Most of the people were lovely. Someone was there who is going to have a stem cell transplant. She was also wonderful, and I assure you my heart is with her. But someone else who came in later had to dwell on it, talk about someone else who also has cancer, and someone else, and about chemo and taking meals over. This person oozed about helping the patients and oozed about Gunga-ji. No offense to Gunga-ji, but I don't want to hear what she has to say every minute. I asked this person about something else; she answered briefly and dismissed me.

Then, when I was at the door leaving, and a mile away f rom the table, this person called out: "I just never see you anymore. You didn't like the topic of our discussion, did you?" I said it wasn't my favorite topic. Then she said to me, calling out across the room, "Well, we all have to die sometime." I said, "Not that way."

I am annoyed at this woman's taking over, her controlling everything, a queen holding court, her table manners, and her social worker mentality. Here I am, faultfinding. I am better off to stay away.

Tuesday I'm seeing Margaret who is only uplifting and inspiring. Nancy emailed me much encouragement. Mary Alice called me yesterday from Kansas City to express how happy she was with her session with Karen. I see Bran, the spiritual healer, today, and that's a lift. I hope he really did intend my paying less.

If I were living up to A Course in Miracles, I would have uplifted the person I was annoyed with.

God:

Yes, put your attention where you want it to be. If you do not have joy there, you don't have to go. But if you go, spread joy.

Gloria:

Thank You. I pray to You, Almighty Father, that I see with Christ's eyes, once and for all. I'm tired of my faultfinding. I want to see beyond appearances. I want to serve You. I want to be out of the pettiness I project around me. Please help me. I feel I can't stand my negativity much longer.

God:

It is good you understand that your negativity is your negativity, and you take responsibility for it. And you will remove it. You will just blow it away lightly, as you might blow a bit of dust from your hand. Flick it away. It isn't much, this negativity. It is an old possession of the mind. It's a pile of old rags that you no longer want but haven't brought yourself to part with. Maybe you'll need them some day. Maybe they keep you from knowing yourself. What deep dark secret is there but Christ?

What if you did see with Christ's vision ? Do you think you would be lost? You would be found, and this you fear. You lack understanding of what lost and found are. I think you have them mixed up.

You are not your negativity. You are not old memories and a summation of them. You are not your hurts and wrongs, to and from.

You are simply My child, My pure child, who had a bad dream about this one and that one and this knife in your heart and that one, and you fear to remove the knife lest you bleed to death, or drown in joy, Gloria.

You will not drown and you will not be lost. You will float in My arms and sail to Truth.

Let go these tiny shreds that hold you to past sufferings. They are past. They are not now. Now you are with Me, conversing with Me, knowing Me, loving Me, engaging Me.

Walk away from staleness. Enter life with Me at your side, ever for you, ever willing you forward without your giving a backward glance at old footprints.

Gloria:

Dear God, You want me to love my fellowman, and that is what I fail in. The one thing you want, I don't do.

God:

Love from afar, if you have to, Gloria. Put your attention on loving Me. That is easier for you. Love Me, and all else will follow.

You cannot force love for your fellowman. Love is freedom. It is not falsity or pretense. It is a light-allowing and light-giving. No sacrifice. Love does not squeeze you into something you are not. Sacrifice does that; it squeezes you into a tube when you are boundless.

Take your thoughts of that woman who was annoying, and put some of My light around her, and see how much better you feel. Wrap her with My light, and your thoughts disband by themselves. Wrap her with My light, and let her recede from your awareness.

That's all there is to it, dear one. That is Christ's vision. Not an effort of will, no. A silent blessing of My love. There doesn't have to be your love.

You do not have to love, adore, dote on everyone — or anyone.

Simply give My love, when you think of it, and think of it often.

Also, remember to prepare your way beforehand. Remember My wand of white light that Karen showed you. Send it before you as well as after.

My blessings on you, My love, My heart, My sweet.

Gloria:

Dear Heavenly Father, I saw Bran, the healer, today. How can his touching a shoulder and the top of my head give so much bliss! Also I came home to a message from Karen. She had taken Lonnie to a White Room, and then Karen got my letter in the mail which included Your message to me about The White Renewal Room. Karen said it confirmed her experience. I thought The White Renewal Room was figurative! So those were two very nice things.

Bran is going to come to supper Monday night. He can't come on Saturday or Sunday for lunch. Nights are hard for me, but I'll do it. Sweet man.

What would You like to tell me, dear God?

God:

What is My constant message? "I am here. I am here." And so are you, dear child. All of My children are here with Me, warm in My heart. A heart has no limits. Room for more. No end to love. Stream of love flows in and out. One heart captures another. Hearts meet in Me. They swim in Me. All love comes to Me, and all love comes from Me.

By the Grace of God is love. By the Grace of God is you, is life, is the world, a day, the sky, the moon. By the Grace of God are colors and sounds and tastes and touch and the scent of bread baking. By the Grace of God are arms and legs to move and eyes to see My handiwork. By the Grace of God is laughter and tears. By the Grace of God, trees have leaves and vines bear fruit; rain falls, and sun comes out. And at night, little stars, like heartbeats in the midnight blue sky, say, "God is here. God is here."

By the Grace of God is speech and written words and dear animals and their speech and touch.

By the Grace of God is a chi ld and a mother and father and families and knowledge passed on.

By the Grace of God is growth and wisdom and experience of life.

By the Grace of God are beginnings and endings of waves, and another one.

By the Grace of God are individuals, not one the same and yet none different.

By the Grace of God are dry and wet, stone and sand, forests and fields.

By the Grace of God are pollywogs and elephants and ducklings to waddle across a page.

And tails to wag and barks to bark.

And contentment. And discontentment.

Novels to read and to write, stories to tell. And telephone books with everyone's number.

And sidewalks and streets.

And friends and strangers, corners and straight, circles and ovals.

All are tender in My heart and yours.

Tell Me, what is there not to be thankful for?

It is a perfect creation, perfect in its imperfections and anomalies, perfect in its incongruity, perfect in its sense and nonsense.

But the most perfect are the children of My creation, the tools at the end of My fingers who do My work and fulfill My dream.

Gloria:

Dear Father, is there something more You would like to say to Me? I think there is.

God:

Yes.

Gloria:

What?

God:

Put your attention on what is joy for you. Doing that one thing alone will allow more happiness to come to you. What gives you joy, Gloria?

Gloria:
You, spirituality
A good movie
Words, books
Good food
Musicals
Plays
Flowers
Houses, decorating
Colors
E-mail
My daughter's good fortune

God:

These are the things for you to think about and do with. What is not on your list stays outside your mind. I am teaching you how to live life on earth.

Gloria:

Dear Heavenly Father, you are so good on every level. The down-to -earth practical life and the uplifting spiritual. You know the hows and why and whats, and you have Your great magnificence.

God:

As you have yours. What I have, you have. All My attributes, you have.

Heaven Sutra #3 Feel God in Your Heart 

God said: 
Gloria:

What do You wish to say to me this morning, My Father?

God:

Feel Me in your heart. I rest there. It is My home, your heart, in your heart. From there I rule the universe. By rule I mean I set it in motion. I respond to My children. I emanate rays of holiness and peace. I cohere.

From My place in the heart, I issue proclamations of love. I am love as you are love. Love goes out. Love enters. Any distortion of love contracts.

So be aware of expansion. Expand with Me in your heart until your heart embraces the whole world and all of My children.

All on earth have My life force. It is theirs, but it is Mine.

Consider your heart a sun. What do suns do? They shine. Their light reaches everywhere. And so does a heart of God.

Your heart radiates. Let it radiate My love. No more cramped little messages that are intermittent or cut off. Full beams of light now to warm th e world in a coat of love.

Gloria:

Dear Father, I have been having the strong impulse to ask You for a message for Arthur. It keeps coming to Me. But I would want his request before doing that.

God:

I am sending the message for dear Arthur. Receive it. Pass it on. That is what I ever ask you to do. Receive My messages of love and pass them on.

Gloria:

I don't know what his questions are. Yesterday on the phone he did say that he felt angry and thought it was old stuff coming out. What will You say?

God:

It is not even Arthur's stuff coming out. Arthur is not only a giver. He is an absorber. And he absorbs much of the refuse of the world.

For a long time, Arthur has not lived for himself. The test of his virtue lies not with his individuality but with his work for Me.

Arthur fills My heart with overflowing joy. Arthur is a reward to Me. He answers My call, a nd he succors My children.

He is a blessing to the earth and to Heaven. He is like a musical note that keeps on long after it is heard. It plays around the universe and returns to Arthur's heart.

Tell Arthur he does not have to be perfect. He is already Perfect. He can let go and express his discontent with Me; he can stamp his foot, and when he does that with abandon, he will laugh.

Does he not know that I will love his anger and turn it back to the love he is?

It is My will for Arthur that he expand his vision. He is not a single man in an office or on the telephone. He is at the apex of the universe, and he twirls the stars. He works for Me.

He is My holy child of love.

Suggest to Arthur that he quickly write down what he would like. Suggest he ask big. Suggest he make a long list.

On the other side of the paper, suggest he write down all the reasons why he deserves all that he wants and therefore why I will see that his wishes are fulfil led.

Arthur is a beacon light for the world. He is a savior in his own right. I have many Christs, and he is one.

Tell Arthur he sits beside Me in Heaven. He is here with Me, and I am there with him. Never are We apart.

Suggest that Arthur remind himself of Truth.

Make sure that Arthur does not sacrifice. Make sure he does what gives him joy and at no cost to him. Joy is My blessing to Arthur. Joy is My blessing.

Gloria:

Dear God, I would like to make certain that these words are from You?

God:

They are.

Gloria:

I want to make sure they are not from my individuality and ego.

God:

They are not. They are from your love.

Gloria:

I would like to make sure that You want me to send this to him.

God:

Send it. But he has already received it.

Gloria:

What more do You w ish to say?

God:

Say, Arthur lights My heart.

Arthur speaks to Me.

Arthur administers for Me.

Arthur is My messenger of love. He packs My love in other's hearts. He transmits for Me. He is a receiver and transmitter, and he buffers the world.

How beautiful is My Arthur of Love! How beautiful the work he does for Me! How beautiful his heart! How beautiful the messages he sends! How beautiful the light that shines on him! How beautiful when he sees himself in Me! How beautiful when he sees Me in others! How beautiful is My creation and Arthur's part in it!

I shower Arthur with the blessings of the universe. These blessings wash away all imagined pain and all that never was, for all there is is my goodness and My love.

Heaven Sutra #4 How to Peel the Banana of Life 

God said: 
My child, you are the sunshine in the window at early dawn. You brighten the day. You are a shining soul on earth. You are the sun coming out. You give comfort to the earth. You reflect My light and beam it out to the hungry souls on earth.

You are My vision. You are what I envisioned. You are My heart's delight.

I tell you this to express My joy at what I have created. Each of My children on earth is a part of Me that I long to have recognize Me as I recognize them.

I am the Loving Father of all the lonely ones who think they are orphans and roam the earth alone. I seek them, and find them, but they do not recognize Me. Sometimes they do not see Me at all. They don't say, "Who is this?" or "What's this?" They say, "Whaaa? Where? Nothing is here."

I say: "Here am I! Here am I!"

My words do not reach them.

Never do I fail to call to My children, lost on earth without their Father, wandering for they know not what, wandering for the sweet nectar of satisfaction that I so generously bequeath and that they don't see.

They have wanderGod. They are looking to find something. They look in many places. For moments, they think they have found what they sought, but it is a toy that enchants today and tomorrow does not.

All seek for Me. They know not My Name. They think it is Pleasure, but I am Joy. They distract themselves with noise. They think I am Forgetfulness. But I am Fulfillment. I am that which is to be remembered, not run from. They mistake Me for another.

Why hide? Why run? Why flee from yourself, your holiness, your Heaven?

You exist and you cannot be run away from.

Look up higher than your feet.

Gloria, you remember the story of your father as he arrived off the boat from Russia to America? A kind man gave him a banana. Your father had never seen a banana before. When he started to eat it, the kind man started to take it back from your father. Your fathe r ran away from the kind man. When the kind man caught up to your father, he didn't want to take the banana; he wanted to show your father how to peel a banana.

Life is the banana I have given you. Like your earthly father, Gloria, My children run from Me, perceiving smallness rather than love. But soon or late, I catch up, show truth, and My children recognize the goodness of life, and the One Who gave it.

Gloria:

Dear God, the meaning of my dad's story is greater than I ever thought. I thought it was a story of how we act based on what we perceive.

God:

The innocence of your earthly father is the innocence of all My children.

All experiences in a lifetime point to Me. You make discoveries. A stranger reminds you of your path. A word rekindles a flame in your soul, and all the time it was I calling to you.

Your earthly father thought the kind man wanted to take something away from him when the kind man want ed to give him knowledge. When the kind man caught up to your innocent father, your father learned how to peel the banana of life.

This is what I teach you, Gloria. That is the simplicity of My teachings and your walk on earth.

Receive Me, and you receive knowledge of your heart. Receive Me, and you receive the love you are. Receive Me, and I take away your burdens. Receive My children, and you receive Me.

Receiving Me means to awaken to Me. And who am I but your Self.

Another story of your earthly father many years later. After being unconscious, when you father awoke, he said, "Where I am? Where I am?"

This is a sweet question all ask as they begin to wake up. That is more than beginning. It is a signal of the beginning that has already begun. The beginning was waking up. Next was the question.

How good are questions. All questions have a common answer: God is here, God is here, waiting for you to wake up, to open your eyes, and to see Him. Ask questions.

Gloria:

Dear God, my father would be so happy that You used examples from his life. My father longed to be recognized.

God:

As do I, your Heavenly Father.

Gloria:

He always longed for peace.

God:

I give peace.

Gloria:

He used to think, to ponder. Now I think he was getting faraway glimpses of You.

God:

He was getting faraway remembrances.

No matter how far someone may think he is from Me, he is not. He is as close as My hand. He is closer, for he is in My heart, as I am in his. I am always close.

A faraway remembrance means a third step in recognizing Me.

First, the waking up. Second, the question. Third, the eyes start to catch a faraway glimpse of memory.

Gloria:

What is fourth?

God:

The heart sees.

Gloria:

Fifth?

God:

The humans can name what they see.

Gloria:

Sixth?

God:

They call Me.

Gloria:

Seventh?

God:

They see Me standing before them. They hear My voice. They know Our common Will, and they follow It, and that is Heaven. And that is where you are.

Gloria:

And there is more?

God:

Always. That is infinity.

Gloria:

So, it is always a beginning?

God:

Yes.

Gloria:

There is always another rung on the ladder?

God:

Better to say that the eye opens wider. You are already at the top. There is nowhere to go but where you already are. All comes to you anyway.

Gloria:

So, knowing You is receiving?

God:

Allowing yourself to receive. I wonder why My children are afraid of Me. They have accepted a fearful false illusion of life and fashioned a phantom of a God, a harsh Taskmaster, a Faultfinder.

Tell them, Gloria, that I find no fault. There is no fault beyond failing to know who they are which is Myself. My Name is God. What is yours?

Gloria:

Child of You — child of God.

God:

God's own Self.

Gloria:

It is always amazing to me to see where You take me in the writing. It is like I am blindfolded. I have no idea where You are going to take me. You always take me somewhere, and it is always a surprise. Is there no end to the surprises?

God:

No end.

A Course in Miracles, Lesson 269:
"My sight goes forth to look upon Christ's face."

God:

And that is Reality. Beyond appearances. Appearance is not Truth. Truth is Truth. Look beneath and beyond the appearance, and what is there but your Self?

Later…

Suggest to Arthur that he quickly write down what he would like. Suggest he ask big. Suggest he make a long list.

On the other side of the paper, suggest he write down all the reasons why he deserves all that he wants and therefore why I will see that his wishes are fulfil led.

Arthur is a beacon light for the world. He is a savior in his own right. I have many Christs, and he is one.

Tell Arthur he sits beside Me in Heaven. He is here with Me, and I am there with him. Never are We apart.

Suggest that Arthur remind himself of Truth.

Make sure that Arthur does not sacrifice. Make sure he does what gives him joy and at no cost to him. Joy is My blessing to Arthur. Joy is My blessing.

Gloria:

Dear God, I would like to make certain that these words are from You?

God:

They are.

Gloria:

I want to make sure they are not from my individuality and ego.

God:

They are not. They are from your love.

Gloria:

I would like to make sure that You want me to send this to him.

God:

Send it. But he has already received it.

Gloria:

What more do You w ish to say?

God:

Say, Arthur lights My heart.

Arthur speaks to Me.

Arthur administers for Me.

Arthur is My messenger of love. He packs My love in other's hearts. He transmits for Me. He is a receiver and transmitter, and he buffers the world.

How beautiful is My Arthur of Love! How beautiful the work he does for Me! How beautiful his heart! How beautiful the messages he sends! How beautiful the light that shines on him! How beautiful when he sees himself in Me! How beautiful when he sees Me in others! How beautiful is My creation and Arthur's part in it!

I shower Arthur with the blessings of the universe. These blessings wash away all imagined pain and all that never was, for all there is is my goodness and My love.

Heaven Sutra #2 Holy Instant 

God said: 
Gloria:

Dear God, what else would You like to say to or about Mawiyah?

God:

She is a tree of life. She is a seven-pointed star. She is the Kabbalah.

Mawiyah has walked the earth for Me many times and participated in games of life and sown many seeds, and now she reaps. Now she reaps.

Where Mawiyah has specific questions, she is to freely ask you to ask Me as well as to ask for herself directly to Me.

You and Mawiyah have shared much and will continue to do so. You walk a golden path together which leads solely to Me and promises fulfilled, joys captured, and praises honored.

Mawiyah walks the path of Kings and she leaves much evidence of love along the way.

All glory to Mawiyah, My angel child, My sweet breath of life, My golden sparkle on earth, My Light, Myself, My Mawiyah.

Gloria:

Dear God, what would You like to tell me?

G od:

The same, Gloria, the same.

Later…

A Course in Miracles, Lesson 227:
"This is my holy instant of release."

Gloria:

My holy instant, come to me. Come now!

God:

Grab it any instant you like, and it is yours. It is release from ignorance. Release from imaginary ties. Release from dreams of strife and loneliness.

Released to Me, and all I entail.

Released to your throne.

Released to your habitat.

Released to Heaven.

Step over the lintel. Enter this holy instant. It is yours and it is Mine. It is right now, this holy instant of a prayer in action, a wish entered, a curtain opened, a cover lifted, a false veil removed.

A holy instant of Truth. Truth is what stays when illusion is gone. Whisk away illusion.

You are intact as a pure ray of love. You are a strong vertical ray of love that connects the middle earth to the highest heaven.

You are a ray o f light that bends over the earth. You are the belt around the earth.

You are a golden ray like a fine glistening filament that connects all points. This is a fluid filament whose light expands to cover all of earth and carry earth to Heaven.

Yes, you are packing tape. You wrap the world in beautiful golden light and carry it to Me as a stork carries a baby.

The world beats in your heart. It is contained there. You are the world's heart. You are its lightening rod. Ah, you are a beacon, a lighthouse. Your light sends signals which light up other signals of light.

Your light beats a drum in your heart, and this heart drum settles the world. It beats a rhythm, a cadence of a march to love. A full-dress parade with batons twirling and cymbals and color guards, and trailing floats that witness to the parade to God and Heaven.

You are a lovely horse that chomps at the bit.

You are a holy instant of love, My love, My long-awaited child of love. My long awaited.

Step into this holy instant and bring your friends with you, and bring the people you don't know with you, and bring children, bring souls. Light them out of the cave of darkness. Remove blindfolds. Wash their eyes. Hold their hands. Soothe their path.

Open hearts. Yes, open-heart surgery. Reach your hand in and take away sludge and leftover thoughts and emotions. Take away tightness and cramping. Clean with a sweet perfume of My love, a soothing balm of love, a soothing touch, a soothing blessing, a soothing prayer, a soothing note, a soothing song, a soothing concordance of love, a soothing. Soothe.

Later…

Gloria:

Dr. told me My Father said I should ask for His love in my heart and then ask for whatever I want.

That makes me happy. Have I asked for Your love in my heart? I ask it now. And that is what I want to ask You for. If I have Your love in my heart, everything must follow. But I do want Lauren to have happy wor k/career, and I want financial abundance and security, and I want Lauren to have a fine marriage as she desires, and I want to be healthy and thin and to eat moderately and get Your book organized and typed and I want what You want for me.

God:

Okay Gloria. It's on its way.

Gloria:

What else would You like to tell me?

God:

I tell you that you are dear in My heart and I want you to know My love deep in your heart so you feel no pinches about anything. It is not My style to pinch, hoard, grasp, fear to lose. Place My love in your heart and you will know fullness and generosity. You will know fullness and generosity. You will give My love wherever you go, in whatever situation you are in.

Now do your program and don't worry about anything, for there is nothing for you to fear.

Heaven Sutra #1 Surprise of Love 

God said: 
I would like to tell you once again that you are love, are loved, and give love. Think of me today, and oblige Me with your giving My love everywhere today.

I give you a purse of love today, and your assignment is to spend it for Me. Spend it freely.

Be thinking: What ways can I bestow God's love from this purse to others that will make my God happy?

Your theme for the day is: What can I do today to make God happy? I do not ask much, do I, but today I ask you to make Me happy.

Here is the purse filled with My love today. It is a drawstring purse. Open it and parcel out the love contained within it to My other children for Me. You do it for Me, will you?

Gloria:

Gladly.

God:

Then tonight you find that instead of the purse being empty, it is filled to overflowing.

Keep track today of the love you give on My behalf. It does not have to be big love. Little tokens of love are good. Pass out many. In fact, spill the love out if you wish. Surprise people with it. Surprise yourself!

Later…

Gloria:

Dear Heavenly Father, at Mawiyah's request, I ask You what You would like to tell her, what messages you have for her, what insights. Is this all right with You for me to ask on Mawiyah's behalf?

God:

It is more than all right. Mawiyah is an angel of angels. She is a galaxy in the sky unto herself. Mawiyah shines a bright light for all of heaven and for the lonely world. Mawiyah's presence sends forth peace, joy, and limitless light.

My message to Mawiyah:

You are a sister of the universe. Your soul sweeps across the universe and beyond.

You fit beside Me in Heaven. You anticipate My Will. You afford Me great pleasure and great good.

You are an emissary of love, a pulsating star that lights the corners and succors the earth.

You are a moon with its satellites.< /p>

You are the bright rays of the sun.

You are My Voice and My Way.

You are gentle winds and gentle rains.

You are blue sky and cloudless days.

You are Myself, ever unwinding coils of love for all.

You are a golden thread of My heart, spun out for centuries to capture hearts and sing songs.

You are a singer of My song.

You are blessed and you bless. You are a blessing.

You are a moment of truth.

You are My child. You are My offspring, and you are My fulfillment.

Many treasures are stored for you Mawiyah. Where are they stored? Everywhere. Look for them. Notice them. Call to them. You are part of a congregation of hearts.

You are a grapevine whose leaves shade and whose fruits quench thirst.

You are Mawiyah, the singer of souls. You have only begun, dear Mawiyah. And there is no ending.

Remember that I travel with you. I escort you everywhere. You are never alone, for I and a host of angels surround you in love and joy.

Do you feel the angels dancing around you? Do you feel the connectedness of all beings, one with the other, entwined in a cosmic dance of love?

Do you hear the flute player? He calls to you.

List your desires, Mawiyah, and they shall be done. Have big desires, even exorbitant wild ones.

Multiply joy. Pick flowers. Weave a fairy ring. Make a bower of roses. Name a tree.

See me around every corner. Send people to me. Point the way.

I am well-pleased with my beautiful child, Mawiyah, and I shower blessings on her like a sweet mist, and I behold her magnificence and embrace it. I will have more to say in the morning.

Heavenletter #6234 What Do You Think You Must Atone For?, December 19, 2017 

God said: 
Sometimes you seek the ultimate of yourself. No matter how fine you are, tomorrow you want more of yourself. In this way, you are never satisfied.

The cry of More! More! may be asking too much of yourself. You may whip yourself to a frenzy. You may not let up on yourself. You may ask too much of yourself. You may not love yourself enough -- or why would you keep berating yourself? What do you think it is that you must atone for?

I teach forgiveness, yes? No, I don't even teach you forgiveness, for what do you think you have to be forgiven for? If you have been a scoundrel in a previous Life, so you have been a scoundrel. That was then, and this is now.

Be good to yourself. How can you be beautiful to others when you frown so at yourself? Love yourself first, and then others will be drawn to your Love.

There is a tendency for many of My Children to be too stern with themselves. There is a tendency to perhaps punish themselves, as if they do deserve punishment.

Have a more friendly approach to yourself and to the world and to Me. Engage with Me, Beloveds. Do not be hard-hearted to yourself as if this is how to win My approval.

Win My approval by accepting yourself as a worthwhile human Being who learns, not all at once, but little by little. You don't have to be an overnight success. You don't have to be a Child Wonder who makes the headlines of the newspaper.

Be your own teacher. Do you want a teacher who is loving and kind or one who is so strict you can hardly breathe? Let go of the idea of being a hard taskmaster who demands more and more of yourself. Don't be over-demanding. Bestow some of the Milk of Human Kindness to yourself.

Accept that you are on the right track.

Give yourself some of your own approval. Don't be impossible to please. Start with a clean slate.

If you met up with Christ in the world, do you think he would frown at you? If you think that, think again. My Son Christ would shine his Light on you. This is the least you can do for yourself. Be genial with yourself. Enough of faulting yourself.

Never are you to kick yourself in the shins. Open your heart to yourself. Don't have it in for yourself. You really aren't so bad, you know. Give yourself some air. Do you really want to be some kind of perfect saint who is so somber he cannot laugh and smile?

Give yourself a pat on the back, and stop trying so hard. Give yourself a break.

I created you Beautiful. I created the world Beautiful.

I do not put x's on anyone as if I write them off or throw them out of My Good Graces forevermore or make it so difficult that they are to be wilted in guilt.

Not at all. Stand up straight. Put your arm around your shoulder, and hold your head high enough so that you can see above the crowd. Do not endure yourself. Don't put up with yourself. Don't kick yourself aside. No, be gracious to yourself. Encourage yourself. You are My Child.

Easy does it. Hard, encrusted, stale, doesn't do it. Love does it.

Do you desire hard-to-please people in your Life? Do you think that hard-to-please people are good for you and beneficial to others and the world? Do you want frowns or smiles and some pats on the back?

From this day forward, be what you desire others to be. Be what I desire you to be. I desire you to be warm and loving. Start with loving yourself. If you want to grow fast, this is how to do it.

Heavenletter #6232 No Matter What, December 17, 2017 

God said: 
More or less, you thought the world had been brutal to you, and now you wonder about yourself and your culpability in it all. Now you count yourself in. Once and for all, perhaps you are getting real.

Have you been seeing yourself as others see you? What an awakening. This is not the kind of awakening you had desired. You had wanted to be right, meaning that you had been wronged. It may be that you had deceived yourself all along. How little did you know, and how sure you were you knew it all. You are taken aback a peg or two. This could be about time. This is revelatory awakening is actually not a bad thing at all.

What a world it would be if there were no justification nor indication of right and wrong. No one would be imperious. Life would just be.

A rose would be a rose. A daisy would be a daisy. No one would insist that one flower would be more like another and less than what it is. Cabbage could be cabbage in all its glory. Differences would be differences, and that’s all there would be to it. All would be acceptable. There would be no warring, no disputing. All would be okay. There would be no recriminations. There would be no judgments and final knelling of the bells of judgment.

There would be no less and no more. All would be good. There would be no bad.

There would be no perceived need for anyone to hurt another. There would be no cause. There would be no reprisals. There would be no objections. There would be no arguments. All would be well. Life on Earth would be to enjoy, day and night, dusk to dawn.

There would be smiles on every face. There would be nothing to frown about.

There would be no criminals. No murders. Nothing to be set right, for what could be wrong?

There would not be need for compassion. There would be no need for uprisings or compensation either.

There would be God’s Grace in the world contributed in My Name. Well, what else could there possibly be in the world, for hurray, all is well, and all is getting better.

At present, fault is seen. Therein is the rub.

Finances would work themselves out differently. The world would have no need for distinctions such as haves and have nots. Work would be Joy. Freedom would ring! This is how Life will be. Whatever might be needed will provide itself.

Worry would be a thing of the past.

Everyone would have free choice. Wise and sociable choices would be made. All for one, and one for all would be the Theme of Life. If someone wanted to be a recluse, that would be fine. If someone wanted to be a social butterfly, why not? There would be room for all at the Inn.

Whatever could the matter be when there is nothing to fight over?

There would be fewer accidents, of course. With less tension in the world, accidents would be fewer. When accidents occur and lives lost, as it is told, loss of Life would not be so momentous as it had seemed to be. So much more Joy in the world now and so much less strife, just so.

No one’s nose would turn up in the air. No one would be above or below or lagging another. All would be welcome. This in itself would be known as Joy. The Sun’s rising and the Sun’s setting would be adored. What would not be adored? Who would not adore, and who would not be adored?

Heavenletter #6231 Walk Like an Angel, December 16, 2017 

God said: 
What if I were to tell you that, on My Behalf, you can let go of holding on and begin to allow yourself to be akin to an angel? No longer are you to exult in disharmony. No longer are you to feel beleaguered and find arguments to extend even internally with yourself at great length. Have you thought that arguing and finding fault enhance the world and the Word of God?

You have the wherewithal to please and be pleased rather than to be displeased.

Bestow harmony. Harmony is a blessing. What is all this fuss you have made about how so-called others in the world treat you? Must you go around feeling put upon? What if you would expend greater Good Will and make Good Will shine on Earth?

Which of My Children hasn't wished for Earth to be more welcoming and less disheartening than it may have seemed? Is it possible you would start the trend?

What would it take? It would take some letting go of your hard feelings. You might not yet be able to admit to the straight goods that: You have been more likely to latch onto discontent rather than content.

It seems to be easier for you to feel aggrieved than to feel pleased. It might even be that you may stir up an argument more than you are genial and likely to quell arguments. Your stance in Life may have been to look for a fight.

You may tend to feel that there is more honor due you. You are undoubtedly right. You never saw yourself as a rabble-rouser, yet now you are wondering if you don't rig your Life in such a way that you might rally disturbance in the world.

You had thought you were the good guy, and now you wonder. You have thought you were stepped on. You may have been an underachiever in the world, mistreated, abused and, now, you don't like to see it or say it, yet you begin to see that you could have been the one who has been looking for a fuss all along. You see the possibility that you are the disrupter, the arguer, the one who lacks appreciation for others that you always thought others were lacking for you.

Perhaps you have been the culprit all along, you the good guy that you now come to wonder about. It seems that you are quick to convict others of what you were oblivious to in yourself. You dwelt on an I and a thou, a you and a me. Alas, it is thee of little Faith.

You had seen yourself all wide-eyed and innocent. If anyone had been set upon, could you have been the troublemaker, not the other way around?

But to whom do you apologize? There could be a long line. This one and that one didn't do well by you. You were sure that this one and that one didn't care enough about you. All these years, you could have had the shoe on the other foot. You had sincerely believed that you were owed apologies. You had sincerely believed that you had been trespassed upon.

It is a lot for you to swallow that you may have been unkind, unthinking, and unloving, looking for fault. You were the displeased. You had been the accuser. Maybe you really weren't not so merciful as you had believed.

Where do you begin now? You are seeing yourself in a new light, and not a brighter Light. Now you find yourself looking at yourself straight in the eye. How do you change the world when it is yourself who is to change and to grow? Now you have confronted yourself.

Beloveds, where do We go from here?

Heavenletter #6230 I See You Beautiful, December 15, 2017 

God said: 
You don't have to be wrapped up in circumstances. Pretty much circumstances are how you rate yourself in terms of the world. I see you Beautiful. The world and I, as you know by now, don't see you in the same way.

The world may have taught you that this and that matter. You don't have to be a certain way for Me. Not at all. I do not demand that you live on a so-called better area of town. I don't require where you live at all. I do not recognize homeless or palace or mansion or hovel. I don't require a certain wardrobe of you or education. You don't need to have a new car to be loved by Me. I am Light and Love. I see with My Eyes and not those of the arbitrary world. I rate you. I rate you not by appearances or anything at all. I Love.

Do you think that for one minute I go by status in the world? I see quite differently. Instead of your thinking I rank you, start from the premise that your place in the world is of consequence most of all to Me of the Highest.

The world may have its cart before the horse.

I hold you dear. That's My Story. Isn't it laughable to think of Me as basing My Value on you by height, weight, color, posture, physical mass, sports ability etc. I don't count anything.

I include all My Children, even the naughty, even the good, the poor, the gifted, the famous. I don't even think in these terms. I see you, and I Love. I look at you, and I see the Glory of you that you may not as yet be acquainted with. You are a dear part of Me. No matter how far you have wandered from the Truth of Your Self, I see you. I see the Palm of Your Hand. I see your eyes. I see you. I see you from the Eyes of God.

I do not look upon you as your shaded past. Why would I spend so-called time on the past? I look upon you as I look upon the Veranda of a Palace. I see Truth, not error. I don't have to look for Truth. I see with Eyes of Truth. This is how it is.

If you have crawled in mud, I see you as you Truly ARE. I don't see all the costumes you may wear. What do disguises have to do with Me? Why would I see pretenders to the Throne when each of you is the Real Thing.

I don't digress. You digress, not I.

I see what is. I hear what is. Come see with Me. I do not demand the perfection from you that you demand from yourself. If you see yourself as going off the Path, then get back on the Path. You may kick and scream, yet nothing will hold you back for long. It may seem long to you. The only always that exists is Infinity. All this diversion you experience in Life is along the way. All these fictionalized detours are superficial to Me. Beyond foolish acts -what could be more foolish than cruel acts? Where you are may lie a Prince who believes deeply in his own inability to be a Prince.

Nevertheless, a Prince is a Prince. I know you. I don't just believe in you, I KNOW YOU. I know you like the Palm of My Hand. And do you know what the Palm of My Hand is? You are the Palm of My Hand.

There is a far Deeper You than you have any clue to.

Get over here, and I will sing Songs to you. You will begin to sing as I do sing from the Beat of My Heart.

Heavenletter #6229 The Work Police Are Not Chasing You, December 14, 2017

God said:
When Life is too busy, you are too distracted. It really is in your mind that you are too busy. You may be out of your mind being over-busy.

Perhaps speeding up isn’t the answer. Your mind is too busy as it is simply bouncing off being too busy. You have the same hours everyone else has. The heavy sense of being too busy is a habit of mind. It keeps you from getting down to the business of getting the work done.

If it were hot summertime, and you were wearing a heavy sweater, you would take off the sweater and put on a tee shirt or thin cotton top. How do We make this metaphor work on your sense of being weighed down with too much to do? This comes down to a matter of belief. It isn’t that you have too much to do. You keep too much on your mind, not too much to do. You have been stockpiling obligation in your mind. You pile up yourself, and you block yourself with an overwhelming sense of being overburdened. You can’t seem to get out from under.

Must you carry a sense of having too much to do? Is it true? Is it true, or is this a clinging sense of over-obligation you nurture? Maybe you really would profit from slowing down rather than speeding up.

No one can do ten things at one time. Perhaps you can stick to one thing at a time. The concept of having too much to do makes you specialize in having too much to do.

The value of a list is that you can scratch off the whole list.

What are you too busy with? For one thing, it has to be that you are too busy with the idea of having too much to do. Life itself isn’t too busy. Yes, the overbearing sense of too much to do wears you down. The pressure you feel is of your own making, dear ones. The work police are not chasing you.

Kick out the sense of being pressured. In world time, everyone has the same 24-hours a day. Don’t panic. Do what you do without panic. Be at ease with Life as it presents itself to you. Have the idea that you are a wise person at the top of a mountain who gets everything done without jumping around.

Hurry-Hurry can be a matter of avoidance. It is self-recrimination. You lug ten wagons behind you. It’s not so much that your work is back-breaking as it is that the weight you carry is accumulating. Let Us find a way to ease the weight.

Get back to focusing on what is helpful to you and not what is not.

Give yourself greater appreciation. It’s obvious. Instead of a list of what you haven’t done, list what you did get done. Honest, you are not so fettered as you seem to think. Work can be work and yet be effortless. Don’t be short of breath. Don’t race.

All of your Life doesn’t need to be a panic attack. Slow down. Easy wins the race. Anyway, who needs to win a race? Certainly not a race against time. Yes, I know that in the world at large, everything takes time. Even doing nothing takes time. Keep up with the present.

Define yourself away from a sense of time. Then you won’t have to feel that you are running out of time. Get going. Perhaps you will find that you have more time. I kid you not.

Watch your posture. Watch your stance in Life. In the world, you may well sense that there is not enough time, yet, how it is in this timed world, you have just the right amount of time. Remind yourself that you are timeless.

Ye of little time, slow down your interior clock.

Heavenletter #6227 The God Train, December 12, 2017

God said:
Take advice from Me. Let go of everything you have always thought in regard to your own value. No longer will you downplay your True Self.

You are My Self. We can say that you are the Fledgling of Me. Can I make it any clearer than this? You come from Me. You are My Child. I love you. You are My Inheritor. I would like you to listen to Me. Let even an inch of what I say enter into your Heart and your Soul and radiate from you to every corner of the Universe. No effort on your part. I will accomplish this Reality and Self-Realization on your behalf. It is in the bag, Dear Ones.

You and I are One. We are of the same Dimension, or, We can say, of the same Unlimited State that goes beyond Dimension. There never was a moment when you and I were separate. You have long-held the idea of separation and the impossibility of Oneness with Me. Now I press Oneness into your hand and from there swiftly into your Heart.

I don't put you on. I am not a false Prophet, nor do I wish you to be false to the Truth of Who You Are. Okay, you are not yet fully aware. I agree that you have a way to go. I tell you frankly that you will come to the point where you begin to allow the tiniest possibility. This is all it takes, My Beloveds. A tiny whisper of Truth will open up the entire Heavens to you the same way as the Morning Dew and the Dawn accompany each another.

Let a little Light enter your mind. Once a little Light of Possibility enters you, you will go further, and faster and your Self-Value will blossom fulsomely.

When you enter a train, you sit down. Whatever train you board will take you to New Delhi or New York City or wherever your chosen destination is. All you have to do is to get on the train.

In terms of Enlightenment, this objective that seems so far away from you or even impossible, listen: I give you a Ticket from Me. The ticket clearly states where you are going. There are no incorrect tickets.

I tell you very frankly that you are already on this train. That you are on the right train is a Gift I give to My Self. Right here where I am, and this is where you will find Me waiting for you to catch up with yourself.

Come a little closer, I say to you. I have all the riches of Heaven right here waiting for you.

If you only knew, you have always been on this train with Me. Not only have I given you your ticket, I reserve your seat, and I make sure you get on the steps to the right train.

Be advised that there is no train that says: "Here you will go backwards where ignorance used to be."

There is only one God Train, and it is called Express to Enlightenment. Call it Heaven. Call it what you will. It is where I AM and where I happily wait for you day after day. Dear Ones, don't take so long. I am eager to greet you.

To reach Infinity - well, what you actually reach is your realization of where your Infinite Self already is.

One day you will say: "Oh, this is it. Imagine this! I was here all along, yet I didn't see. I can hardly believe I am here! What wonders You do strew on Earth, God."

Now, of course, I don't say: "I told you so."

I say rather: "My Beloveds, now you have come to Me, and now We rejoice!"

Heavenletter #6226 The Language of Oneness, December 11, 2017

God said:
You are not a Pretender to the Throne. You are the Inheritor of the Throne. Any way you size it up, this is who you are. You are not an Imposter. The thing is that you may be the last to know. What a fine kettle of fish this is!

Stand upright right now, and be the first to know. Claim yourself. You are ultimately the sparkle in My Eye. It is you I see, and it is you that I look at directly before Me.

There is no distance between Us, Beloveds. Not even a hair’s breadth. You are My One Love. You are the Oneness of which I speak. I whisper in your ear. I look you in the eyes. I see Bright Light zooming all over the world, and the Light is Ours. Come, be in step with Me. We have a cadence, you and I.

I am your Reality. You are My Desired Dream. I call you to Me, and you appear. Never are you without Me. Even as time does not exist and therefore non-time does not really, I am in Infinity and seemingly without you. I long for you. I dreamed you into Existence. My Dream is inevitably True.

When I say: “Appear!” you appear. As it happens, you don’t see the Whole Truth. On Earth, you see only part Truth. Ah, it is the Whole God’s Truth with all the Love in My Heart that you want to see and to know. There are no slices of Truth except in your imagination.

Now I tell you that you are dreaming. You play a part in the midst of your dream. Take not your dream to heart. The partial dream you dream seems heartless. This is how you can know it isn’t the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth. You can call it Eclectic Truth which isn’t the same as Consummate Truth. What you accept as Truth is less than Truth. Less than Full Truth is not Truth at all.

There is no bogeyman, Beloveds. There are no true Dark Forces. I see All and Know All. I know your interpretations. The shadow you see is no more than a spot of dust on the mirror. Actually, the mirror you look into is a plain piece of glass that doesn’t begin to reflect the Light you are.

You have downsized yourself. It’s as if you have thrown a tennis ball up in the air and hit it with a paddle, and it moves, so you think you must have hit a home run of some sort even as it doesn’t begin to tell the Truth of Who You Are.

You hardly have the barest awareness of Who You Are. There never is a good time for you to be skeptical of the Fullness you are. You cut yourself short. You may even doubt half of what I say to you about yourself. “In a sow’s ear,” you say.

You throw a baseball into left field, and that’s as far as you dare to go.

There is no daring involved in coming to Me, for We are Oneness Personified. Believe in Me, then believe in yourself as Tried and True. You are authentic. You are the Real Thing even as you may scoff at what I say. All this time together, We could be making hay while the Sun Shines.

Look Higher, Beloveds.

There is a True You, and it takes so little for you to be Divinity Walking. I hand you your credentials, and you fuss about them. You are certified, and you say, “Sorry, God, I’m not.”

It is a good thing that I am the Oneness of All. According to world ideas, I am what might be called patient. I am not patient whatsoever. I Who AM away from the frailty of time and in full Presence of Infinity cannot possibly enter into the nonexistence of time. I AM, and You and I are One. Patience has nothing to do with Oneness.

You do not yet quite speak My Language of One.

Heavenletter #6225 Lovvvvvvvvvvvv, December 10, 2017

God said:
Surely you don't think you are meant for suffering in whatever form suffering may appear to you at one time or another. When you feel in the doldrums, don't add insult to injury. Now it's about time to get your head on straight once and for all. Detach from the concept of having to hold on to all you hold onto. The Truth is you have to let go.

I know very well you would not destine the whole population to unmitigated suffering. Even you know enough to know that happiness also exists and is happily bestowed.

Sure, that suffering seems to exist is undisputed. The idea that unhappiness is all you have the right to claim is pure slipping the wool over your own eyes. You are made for Happiness. Never would I claim Happiness for Me and for Myself alone and leave you high and dry.

If We are One, and I say We ARE One, then Happiness is to be shared right and left.

If anyone declares that suffering is your due, it is likely you, Beloveds. Well, of course, someone may have taught suffering to you first hand. Certainly, now it is you who sets up the equipment for suffering. You even see it coming. You look out for it.

No longer keep looking for suffering. Keep your eyes open for all the Goodness in the world, for Goodness and Happiness are My Will for you day by day, instant by instant. Of course, Goodness and Happiness are My Will for you.

You tend to have a different expectation. Don't ever say that suffering is My expectation for you. Never. My Vision goes far beyond suffering.

Because you interpret loss as suffering, you suffer. If you could know non-attachment rather than loss, what would you suffer? You set up all these Earth rules and regulations. You believe in them. Don't believe in your own propaganda.

You believe that Love is lost and found, found and lost, and, so, you go around in circles. To go around the Merry-Go-Round is fun, but that's as far as going around in circles goes.

Children look forward with joy to every day. This is how it is supposed to be. If you consider this to be True, move forward without further ado. Anticipate Joy every day. Draw Joy to you with My blessings.

Not all the weeping in the world has a clue to how Life is supposed to be. Crying isn't meant to be the bulk of your Life, yet you persist in crying. In fact, everyone knows the meaning of having a Good Cry.

In fact, you can't have a Singular Joy. Joy is a non-count noun. Joy to the World. Not this kind of Joy and that Kind of Joy. Joy is Joy. For the Life of Me, Joy isn't ego-prompting. Joy isn't broken into pieces this way and that way.

Note I said that Love isn't ego-prompting. The world Love has four letters, yet notice how the word Love has an extended name. In fact, Love is a word without ending. Lovvvvvvvvvvvv. However, you may see Love as a temporary word when Love requires no words at all.

Love doesn't have to have sound go along with it. Of course, Love is fortified with music, much like the rustle of leaves in a tree. The Truth is that Love is never absent. Love absent isn't a feat capable of being enacted, not in a million years.

You, however, invent the absence of Love every day. You see Love absent backwards and forwards. You may be well-able to see darkness where there is light. In fact, you are good at this. Of course, you have it all backwards.

Heavenletter #6224 Let All the Sunshine In, December 9, 2017

God said:
From this moment on, when you are aware that you are worrying, blow yourself a kiss from Me and substitute something else for the worry. Often your worries are imagined. You put yourself in a precarious place. You do realize that you are doing this, don't you? You bet on worries. You may even feel amiss without something to feel on edge about.

When you recognize that you are worrying, replace your worries with something else for a few moments, if you please.

Run around the block. Drink a glass of water. Wash your face and hands with cooling water and sweet-scented soap. Look at yourself in the mirror, and take a chance on a smile instead of a frown or whatever you do when anxiety takes over.

Yes, smile a big smile at yourself.

Say something nice to yourself.

Kiss the palm of your hand.

Amuse yourself. Make clown faces in the mirror.

Stick out your tongue at yourself. Try to make yourself stop smiling if you can.

Find a beloved phrase in a Heavenletter.

Press the Cosmic Heavenletter Generator (http://heavenletters.org/gods-loveletters-from-the-universe.html).

Recollect a sweet memory from childhood.

Recollect a sweet recent memory.

If you could travel again to where you once did travel, where would you choose?

If you could go anywhere in the world where you have never been, where might you go?

What was the last time you gave something away to a resale store? What was it?

What could you give away today?

What is a favorite dessert from childhood?

Of a long list of work tasks before you, which might be your favorite choice? Start there.

Do you see now that you are not quite so in the same place as you were before you did one or two of these exercises? Next time, know this ahead of time.

By your own will (and Mine) change your mind.

How do you change your mind, your mood, your focus of worry? You change your mind by getting onto a different subject.

When you are in a frenzy of worry, find a way to change the track you are on.

I have given you a magic potent. Avail yourself of it.

When you draw a dark color, change the color crayons you draw with.

If you want to get into a better mood, get into a better mood, and you will find yourself there. Don't try to prove to yourself otherwise. Because you may feel miserable, doesn't mean you have to continue miserable. You have a chance for better.

Even when the worst thing has happened, whatever that might be, be kind to yourself. Open your blinds and let the Sun in. Know you deserve the Sunshine. Put a new spin on your Life into your mind. Open doors for yourself.

Cheer yourself on. Pick yourself up off the floor. No matter what, you have a choice to feel better. Take a chance on feeling better now.

Retrain your mind. There are certain signals now that trigger your mind. Reform your signals. Start all over. Do this any hour of the day or night.

You have been letting something trigger you. You call some days good days. You have the wherewithal to call any day a good day. You can choose the kind of day you will have. You are not helpless.

Now choose choicer choices. You can do it. Anyone can do it.

Now I steer you in worthwhile directions. This isn't escapism. If to you a little happiness is escapism, go ahead and be an escapist from worry. Happiness does exist. It exists for you. Allow yourself happiness. You are meant for happiness right now.

Heavenletter #6223 What Is One Thing the Quality of Your Life Depends On?, December 8, 2017

God said:
Beloved Ones, there is no good time for you to be impatient with anyone.

Your Life -- and everyone’s Life -- depends upon how you present yourself. It is not My desire that you be rough on anyone, not even on yourself.

Truthfulness doesn’t mean that if you are cross, you have to reveal your irritability. You don’t have to make your tension visible. What does anyone on Earth have to know for a fact that you are feeling tense today? Whatever your circumstance, whatever the conditions you find yourself in, be a lady or gentleman walking on an even path.

The least you are on Earth for is to do your part to create harmony in the world at large.

When your tension quotient is at its highest, this is when it is most necessary for you to be resilient. You can do it. At such times, this is exactly when you must ask more of yourself. No snapping at anyone. You must already know this. Never forget it.

Excuse yourself from less than the least you can do, and the least you can do, dear one, is to veer away from being testy and hard to please. It is little enough for you to contribute to ease in others’ lives. Never is it okay for you to disrupt anyone else’s good day.

May everyone reveal his or her good nature. No matter how you may be feeling, you don’t have to let the world know. There are no spiritual laws against your waiting wisely for a better time to bring something up that may take you to the edge. Exercise forethought.

Be responsible for your own good nature. No excuses for your settling to be less than your best when it comes to pleasantness. Be firm with yourself. Say to yourself as if you were in front of a mirror and point your finger at yourself: “No matter what is going on with you, you will be peaceful today and not cranky. Do you hear what I am saying? If you have something important to express, find a better time to discuss it than when you are at the end of your rope. Are you agreed?”

Beloveds, you may be sure that there are no circumstances under which I give you the authority to be out and out cross. Even when you have a headache, be congenial.

Look, you can count on that tonight will not come your way again. There are no dress rehearsals in Life. You have one chance. There is no opportunity that will allow you to try today over again. This is your one chance for this day. Do it right the first time. Make Life compatible.

You are responsible for courtesy in the world. Your deportment in the world teaches the world how to react or how not to react. Somebody sets his clock according to yours. Someone follows you. It has always been so.

If you want to be a hotshot, be a hotshot in kindness and mercy.

Be in good stead of yourself. If someone is impatient with you, you don’t have to be curt. Stay a while. Return another’s impatience with kindness.

There is already enough ill-ease in the world. Be easy. Be all right. Be generous. Make merry. It is high time. There is no time like the present. Besides, all there is anyway is right now.

Fulfill the Kingdom of Heaven right now. No delay. Later is not good enough. The time to bear good fruit is right this moment.

Once upon a time many years ago, you didn’t know better. Now you know better.

Now you greet everyone in My Name. That’s it. No excuses. None.

Heavenletter #6222 Knowing the Glory You Are, December 7, 2017

God said:
When did you wander into the shoals of Earth and accept this alcove you seem to sit in as the Whole Truth of you? How amazing that this portion of Life falls to you on the Beautiful Creation of Earth. It is beautiful, you know. Look at a Sunrise or Sunset. Look at One Leaf of a Tree.

How far from the Truth your present Life appears to look like, as if you are being held bound and hidden as a hostage in a distant land.

You think you crawl on your knees in a tiny inch or two of water far from the True Stream of the Water of Life you seem to be stranded on. Here you are, a True Seventh Wonder of the World, and you believe you are missing out on so much that the world has promised you. Look again.

Perhaps you used to hold False Gods before plain Truth. Perhaps money was set as your value. Can you imagine anything like this being taken seriously? Might as well make sand be your exchange rate for the medium of wealth, or dust, or mildew, or anything else that doesn't reach to the Heart of you, which is to say doesn't reach to the hem of My Garment and My Heart.

How could so many human Souls consider gold to touch the soles of their feet? Money never could be the breadth and height and the ballast of your Soul. What nonsense goes on in this beautiful Earth? You will discover Life in its True Beauty and Magnificence. Don't be led astray.

How misinformed you may have been. You have been excellent in accepting charlatanism and its kudos. At present, you may serve yourself only a crumb of the Truth of you.

Generally speaking, when someone says to you: "How dare you think you are worth so much?", it means you have taken on a royalty beyond your worth. In this context now, it means: "How in the world do you have the gall to sell out your True Merit for the price of a cup of coffee?"

There are greater Tales that occur beyond these little bedtime stories which you have been falling asleep to. There is a Grander Story and one deeper and beyond what is called the veil. Heretofore, you have covered up the True Story of Your Glory with machinations of one kind or another. Your True Story will come shining through. This day is imminent. Honor yourself.

Among the fictive stories, many stories that haven't yet begun are also true. There are more stories to unfold. There are the wild interpretations that you have been used to and will let go of in order to receive the One and Only True Story of Oneness which is ongoing and always forthcoming. Your eyes will see the Glory.

The Truth is that Glory will happen to you. All your interpretations are only interpretations that you mistakenly believe in. You are fervent in your beliefs. As awkward and fretful as your beliefs may be, you hang onto them as if they are your Lifeline when they are only a spin-off of an unfulfilling drama, a misinterpretation of a dream that really has nothing to do with the Truth of you.

Fortunately, I know where Our Story leads, and so I have High Hopes for you -- not High Hopes but rather Perfect Knowledge of all that which will happen right before your eyes. Beloveds, I know you will choose your True Worth when you can no longer forestall it, and there will be none of this external fooling yourself.

Stories have outcomes of one kind or another whereas you have One Great Choice to rejoin Me where, all the while, truly, all along, you are already in Infinity with Me, here where We are such kindred spirits in Infinity as We can only always be.

Heavenletter #6221 A New Burst of Bloom, December 6, 2017
God said:
On Earth, you ask yourself questions. How weird-seeming this is. Some answers you seem to know. Other answers are impenetrable.

Where do you find your questions anyway, and where do your answers come from in the interim when there is time to speak of?

What is Reality anyway? Whither goest thou, or, do you think you go anywhere at all in this conundrum called Life on Earth? Where is anywhere anyway? Where are you led?

If space and time do not exist, what is going on?

From where arise the thoughts? -- What are you asking anyway, and what do you expect to get out of this discourse with yourself? A runaround? When you get an answer, what does it mean and to whom does it mean anything anyway?

If there is no space, how do you settle down or wise up? How do you get anywhere?

What is the purpose of questioning? Who proposes questions, and who answers them? What does it mean when someone mentions the tail of a comet?

How does anything mean what you suppose it does?

And, yet, you love to propose questions and take a stab at the answers.

You are unable to define Life, yet you and everyone talk about it.

Go Higher. Gossip is too small for you. Gossip is filling your backpack with nothing.

Sometimes you advise yourself to carry no baggage. You would like to be someone who rolls up all his worldly possessions in a blanket in a matter of five minutes or two or three. How simple your Life would be without an abundance of questions you pull along in an imaginary wagon.

If you knew how, you would leave all the past behind you. A new day would be a new day. There would be no old days, only new days, and you would be new. Hurray! There would be no piles to sort through.

Out of sight would be out of mind.

You might like to be abstract rather than concrete. There would be no weight to carry, no contours or hurdles to jump over or anything to dispense with.

Reduced to your simplest, you would be expanded. All holds would be barred. There would really be no records kept, no toting bills, no rehashing old times or anything. There would be no record-keeping. What are records kept for? There would hardly be anything to keep, and, when all is said and done, who would insist on keeping whatever?

It is said that I keep records in Heaven and look up anything I want. Why would I keep records? You are a Beautiful Soul who wanders around and finds yourself wanting. I see no lack. I see abundance. Abundance is My Clarion Cry.

Carry no past debts over. Move on. Be done and finished and ready for new.

Let each day be a new day. The Sun rises every day. You are not intended to stay in the past and cogitate it. You don’t have to make anything out of the past.

Make today a new burst of bloom.

Composting isn’t the same as keeping, now, is it? Composting is throwing to the winds. Composting isn’t collecting or recollecting. It is not saving. It is using. Certainly, if time, in Truth, did exist, composting makes good use of time.

Time is no time at all in this movie reel you live in around the non-existent block. You don’t have to be a creature of habit. The same old does not exist. You are, right now, a flip of the switch. You are a yearning for something, and you will find that Love abounds.

You will find the treasure at the top of the mountain. It is yours to find without any further ado. Your Odyssey is from here to here. You are on a Walk-about.

Heavenletter #6220 Soldiers of Good Fortune, December 5, 2017

God said:
Let Us sail the seas today. Let Us float. Let Us be afloat in Joy.

What does it mean to be on vacation but on vacation from woe, weariness, and worry? Yes, I understand the desire to escape fear and whatever you may see as drudgery and fault in yourself and others - and the Stars.

You are not idle as you float, yet, yes, you desire a vacation from worry and displeasure and other concerns.

The world would love to go forward without great concerns as well. You can do without the hustle and bustle of countermanding the world. How elated you are just to think of being in a state of approval.

What do you believe you need worries for to protect you from? Your endless worries focus on what is wrong in the world or what can go wrong. Start thinking about what can go right. Ah, what can go right isn't called worry. It is called looking forward to.

Make a good long list of what to look forward to -- and more and more. Line up what you look forward to like little tin soldiers in a row. We can call these little tin soldiers as Soldiers of Good Fortune.

Look forward to what Life offers you! Isn't this a novel idea? Probably, you have been thinking more along the lines of what you don't like, and when will the axe fall?

Come now to new paths and new means of travel. So long as you have choice, why not travel first class?

The thing is that you do have choice. You can travel more than one route. There are many possible destinations for you to choose along the way as well.

If you have been going along on one track, why then, you can just as well travel along another.

What is this perfection you seek that is supposed to exist somewhere outside you?

Perfection does not seem to exist in the world's eyes. Oh, perhaps moments of perfection exist. Constant looking for what you see as perfection in the world is barking up the wrong tree. You keep waiting. You keep expecting. You follow the wrong clues.

It isn't exactly that you surrender to inexactitude. You just are not so gung-ho for illusory perfection as you believe perfection is supposed to be.

What is good nature? What is receptivity? Oh, My Dears, you accept the world at large to change its drum beat at your command. You do not have to be vexed by all that vexes you.

We come back to the story of the Princess and the Pea where nothing could quite be good enough for the Princess.

You know what, Life can be ordinary. It's okay. Life can be made of ordinariness. It would seem that there will always be dusting and scrubbing. There can also continue to be perpetual desire for perfection. This stance doesn't seem to work -- this implied necessity for perfection in a world that doesn't reach your standards.

You are not slacking if you do not whip the world into shape.

Try as you may, you are not perfect either, and no one has to think you are. Your children are not epitomes of perfection. Your husbands and wives are not. Your mothers and fathers are not. Your making high suggestions to others doesn't make the world perfect or anyone in the world perfect no matter how much you would like to exact perfection from the whole world.

The world does not exist to please you and your preferences.

Who said you have to be pleased at whatever does not please you? Who proclaimed you sentinel of the world? Make Life happy as it happens to be.

Heavenletter #6219 You Believe in Thoughts , December 4, 2017

God said:
Whither thou goest? You go from where you came. You come precisely back to Me.

However, the joker is that you never parted from me in the least.

You thought so, yes, for you believe in coming and going, left and right, somewhere and nowhere, up and down, backwards and forwards, in something and nothing and all the variations.

You believe in thoughts going back and forth.

You believe in many erstwhile matters and the realness of such things as Life and death and Life or death.

You may have so much belief and faith in Love, as it so happens, yet you doubt the Truest of All which is Love Beyond the Bounds of Earth. You may almost believe, yet not quite.

You may be a part-time believer the same as you are a part-time skeptic. You doubt both your Beliefs and your Doubts. You are an erstwhile Doubter, the same way as you may like your coffee half and half with cream. Of course, this is your choice, and, My Dears, you have chosen as you will. You are half-committed to whatever you are committed to - you have one foot on a train track and the other up in the air waiting before it puts itself down.

You are a Klondike prospector. You'd like to find gold. You'd like to be right, yet you don't want to be wrong either. You want to be right beyond a doubt, and this is how you may dither with your Life, invaluable as it is.

Of course, you don't see your life as an Ever-Present Continuum as yet. You see Life On or Off, Here or There. You see Life as a Once in a While Thing. Surely you see Life as separate pieces of pie, and each pie different. You count time in partitions when the wholeness of time is that there is none. You count time as though it were real. You keep peeking at your watch. You cannot imagine what you would do if you couldn't squeeze time or expand time into segments as you do, the same with space. If there were no space, where would art exist?

Where does art exist now? It exists now in your Consciousness. In Reality, there is no Out There in front of you nor an Out There behind you or Anywhere at all or Anything at all on Earth. You drizzle in Consciousness. That's how two people can look at the same movie and see a different movie. This is how one person can see himself surrounded in Love and another see himself in a desert without an oasis. Life on Earth is all seemingly.

This is how one person can count sheep, and another fall asleep the minute his head hits the pillow.

What is concrete and what is abstract? Ask your Consciousness. It will tell you, or, you may draw a blank.

All the while, none of it matters. None of it really matters. It seemingly is the Luck of the Draw at the same time as the Deck of Cards appears to be loaded.

Sometimes you do see what it is to go nowhere even when you are a prospector in a Gold Rush. There is nowhere to go and nowhere to come back from. There is a Never Never Land.

In this case, all I can say is that you are Never Anywhere but with Me. As God is My Witness, My Self, I say this.

There are answers. In actuality, there is no question to be answered because it was never asked and who would there be to ask it to?

There is, of course, just the same, Much Ado about Nothing. This is the case because there is Nothing at All really to make much ado about. There are no Ins, and there are No Outs.

There is Being, a Still Waterfront.

Heavenletter #6218 When There Is Happiness, Must Unhappiness Follow?, December 3, 2017

God said:
It seems that Life causes you difficulties. Even when an incident is long past, you may conjure up every detail of it. For what good reason would you do this? And yet you have. And yet you do.

How much pain and suffering are such incidents worth?

Of course, some incidents you rate high, and then there are those now that you yourself wonder what the fuss was about. Many incidents reduce themselves to size in the interim and are not worth much at all, certainly not the cost you paid for them.

Perhaps someone looked at you cross-eyed or didn’t give you the time of day, or someone cheated you, as you saw it, and your heart feels snubbed and hurt.

I agree with you that you are worth far more than snubs and that you deserve greater than to spend your time and aggravation as you may well have on such matters. Why do they mean so much to you as they do? What would you have gained if you hadn’t felt such hurt? What is it exactly that does matter so much to you? What is the difference in your Life in the long haul when Life is here today and gone tomorrow anyway?

There are more serious matters that take up your time to get back on an even keel. Loss of Loved Ones ranks high. All losses of anything pretty much appear as great losses.

Must you put so much energy and effort into painful matters? I question why you have to be so affected by so much.

Where did the idea of suffering come from? Why do My Children take evidence in Life in the world so hard? What if suffering were not a common activity? What if you had never heard of suffering? Would your heart then ache to the extent it does?

The world even schedules mourning for a year’s length. Why must mourning exist at all? Of course, I realize that in the world, it is expected of you.

It isn’t that death as it is perceived in the world is a secret. Why do My Beautiful Children associate with death and defeat so deeply as you do? What is the merit in all the suffering and attention on what you perceive as bad news?

You already know that in the world, nothing is permanent. Why is it such a cruel blow when Loved Ones take off on a new journey which is not yet yours to travel? Why must this occurrence repeatedly take the Heart out of you as if you can’t get over it?

Why is loss so overwhelming? Why cannot joy in what you had speak louder than the loss later? Beloveds, I know it’s like your very breath has been taken out from under you.

Beloveds, much of Life in the world is a passage to and fro ships and trains passing in the night. Whether you experience absence or Presence, must such a big gully be made of it? Must you participate in this, and why must you? Who says you must?

Probably most of My Dear Children suffer deeply in their thoughts long before the event of so-called death.

When there is happiness, must unhappiness follow?

When it comes to caring, must uncaring also co-exist?

I say a resounding NO.

In nature, when there is a hole in the ground, it gets filled. You are intended to have Joy on Earth. Love with all your heart without suffering as a future event. You and all Loved Ones will meet again. Why does attachment charge you with such misery? This is not my Will.

Love, yes.

Care with all your Heart, yes.

Suffer, no, dears, not so much as you do.

Heavenletter #6217 The Beloveds of My Heart, December 2, 2017

God said:
In Life, upon what do you depend? Everyone and everything? Or, worse, nothing at all? A pittance? Loneliness? Regret? Sense of Isolation? Abandonment? Fear?

What is this Peace and Balance in the world you seek? From where and whence do you manifest the Desirable? How is it that you attract the fearsome to you? How is it that you consider fear and let it enter your Life? Let fear be in a shambles, not you, not My Child Whom I hold in Innermost Love.

No longer attach yourself dependently here, there, and everywhere. You gulp, for you may see yourself as a fragile leaf blown about in the wind, seemingly without solidity -- hapless, rootless. How reckless-seeming is the surface of Life when, all the while, you are deeply rooted in the Blessedness of the Universe. Know your Blessedness. It is yours.

You are not part of any rabble, yet you have been a fearmonger. Desist. Cut this out now. Not once more do you parcel yourself as a frail leaf when you are the Beloved of My Heart.

The hidden blessing of fear could be that, living in fear, you call out to Me truly as your Very Self. I exist. Fear is a hollow log. Come to Me in the Solidness of Unity.

Fear is no more than a phantom. Fear is big in your mind, yet that's all fear is, a tentative thing. Throw your fears to the winds. Fear is not worth keeping. Fear is an interloper. Excuse yourself from fear's presence. Don't waste your time on fear. Fear is not to scrape your feet to. Be done with fear. If you don't enjoy fear, don't cater to it once more.

It appears that My Children are born with a fear of falling. Fear is famous. The physical Universe takes pot shots at you. In fear, you allow yourself to be blown from pillar to post and hither and yon when the Truth is that We, the seeming you and the seeming I, are One Indissoluble Being. Remember, you and I are in this Life together, and We are One.

Any way you look at it, from the untoward surface of Life where fear attacks the Heights of Unity, pack up your fears and put them away along with all your worries in your old kit bag.

What purpose do fears serve but to scare a semblance of you? When all is said and done, what good are fears to the world? Fears are of no use to you. A sense of jeopardy is unworthy of you. Let go of it.

Be a bird who sits in a tree and sings. In between, a bird hops on the ground, and, a bird flaps its wings and embodies itself in Flight and getting closer to the Warmth and Light of the Sun. May you Fly High with your Heart and Mind and be warmed in the Sun.

This is not a flight of fancy We are on now. No, this is the real goods. Accept Once and For All that We are the One of the Universe.

Take flight with Me as One Soul, for We, the One, are Compatriots.

Beloveds, you seek to know the Sun whereas I know you comprise the Sun. Together We venture to the Heart of the Sun. Venture forth in Life today. Put your arms around Life's shoulder. We are Compatriots in Life!

Hail, hail, the gang's all here
What the heck do we care
What the heck do we care
Hail, hail, the gang's all here
What the heck do we care now?

Fly with Me.

Heavenletter #6216 Come to the Sanctity of Green Pastures, December 1, 2017

God said:
Once upon a time, a world was born. So far as you have been aware, you are a passing fancy, currently active. No one knows your deadline. You must know this isn’t the story I tell. I know you firsthand. I know firsthand that you always existed. There is no day you were not. You are as Eternal as I am. You and I have ever been living in Infinity as One. Never were you not. Furthermore, you are far greater than you ever conceived yourself to be. You’re definitely not a new kid on the block.

Take it as God’s Honest Truth that, seen or unseen, known or unknown to your present self, you have ever existed. Take this on Truth. If this means to take this on Faith, then take it from Me on Faith. What I say, you can accept. Why would you accept the Word of the physical world as the Gospel before what I say? Beloveds, physical evidence is the least you can go by. I realize very well that, as a Human Being, this is a hard nut for you to crack.

It’s like this: When the Earth was seen as flat, the Earth was forever round all the while. It never was flat. Evidence and even Belief can be incidental to what is.

You’ve had a thing or two backwards, wouldn’t you say? The Universe doesn’t change its spots no matter what you believe and how strongly you believe it.

In any case, the Universe is True regardless of your stance. Your perceptions go according to how you see. You see as you see. You believe firmly in how and what you see, yet what you see may or may not be True. Your firm beliefs often are not sure bets.

Dear Ones, your thinking tends to go only so far. Truth doesn’t switch around. Absolute Truth, whether you cognize it or not, doesn’t change. Truth is, or it isn’t Truth.

Is it possible for you to admit that at one time or another, you have been mistaken? This is a good reason why you want to hold your horses. Proving is too often based on other people’s fallible proving grounds. The whole world can be mistaken, and again and again, it has.

You can be innocent of the Truth no matter how sincere and convinced you may be. There is a reason why it is said: "In God we trust.”

Hello, Beloveds, trust in Me to lead you to the sanctity of Green Pastures.

Come. Hallowed be Truth. Truth isn’t arbitrary. You just may not know enough to swear to anything. Beloveds, if your beliefs divert from Truth, the worst this does is to make you mistaken. It is not forbidden to be mistaken. It happens every day. It’s perfectly honorable to see in another way, yes?

To change your present awareness isn’t a reason to beat yourself up. Be glad you see from a greater vantage. So, you made a mistake. Now, you see differently. A mistake is not a fateful error. It is a mistake made, and now you see from a bigger frame. It’s all right to change your mind. Ah, now you see further. Hallowed be thy Name. Congratulate yourself and not condemn yourself for growing.

Sometimes a child’s vision is more to the point than an adult’s vision. Often a child’s vision is not so cluttered with facts and judgments and God-Knows-What.

Many appraisals of people are far afield. I mean it when I advise you not to judge. It is wise and, frankly, sensible enough to know that you do not hold all the cards.

What you do have is Love right in your pocket.

Heavenletter #6215 This Is How Life Is, November 30, 2017

God said:
Just be. No necessity to wear make-up of one kind or another, neither bright nor pale. You are made for more than yourself alone. This does not mean you are made to please others. Please yourself as well and please My Heart, Beloveds. This is how you serve the world.

You don't have to be up to the minute in your Life. You aren't a supposition. You aren't an antic. You are you, and you are real even as, in the world, you are far more than the personality you may have limited yourself to.

Recall yourself to Grace. Be of One Mind with Me. Be of One Heart with Mine.

We shall divvy-up the Glory of Life. As big as a mountain or as small as a pond, let's make merry while the Sun shines. Let's make merry even when the Sun doesn't shine, yet nevertheless is. Life is good however it is dressed. There is nothing like Life. Find all the fault you like, and still nothing equals Life in rain or in shine.

Paddle your canoe or race your motor boat, what else possibly equals Life as it comes before you? There is no death. Your body steps around a corner and divests itself. Your body is no more than an appendage anyway. Your body isn't paramount. Your body is a wrapping, and wrappings serve for a while, and then the Soul of You rises.

Of course, bodies are precious to you, yet, by and large, you know that a body without its Soul is an empty suitcase. You require a suitcase when you are traveling here and there. When you are Home, you don't have use for your suitcase. This is just how it is. You are Soul.

To be without your erstwhile body seems like a calamity to you. Death is an illusion. There is no death except that which you think, and, so, you tend to take on the false claim of death as if death were true. It's hard for My Beloveds to let go of physical impressions.

You think the physical is gospel. You rely on bodies, yours and others' when bodies are not the diamonds you truly treasure. You perpetuate a hoax on yourself, and then, later, when the time comes and bodies drop off and go off leaving you behind, you protest.

If you could absorb that time does not really exist, then the fact that death also does not exist would seem more real to you.

I understand that parting is sweet sorrow, yet there is no parting and, therefore, no need for sorrow except that you do believe in all that separation which is non-existent and impossible and illogical. If you thought candy were bitter, you wouldn't enjoy candy either.

No one leaves Life behind. The body, yes. Life itself, never.

Here's the rub. You also think you exist only in the structure of a body. You tend to mourn the absence of your body as if, when you close your beautiful eyes and cease to breathe, you say bye-bye to You. You believe you are gone as well.

The thing is, there is no end to you. You are Eternal, not your physical body, but you, the Essence of You.

Every Soul is forever. What is called death is a Great Transformation. For a while you exist in a body. You are no less existent when your body flies away.

Sink into the idea that, with or without a body, there is you. With or without a body, the you of you is BEAUTIFUL. Your Soul, even as you can't point to it, far surpasses your body that serves as a vehicle only for a while.

No longer become attached to material things. They are not real. The material things matter to you only for a while. You know this. This is how it is.
