HEAVEN #3997 The Greatness That You Are , November 4, 2011

God said:

You are growing. That means you are growing up. Your personal needs are no longer the most important thing in the world. I am not telling you that you don't matter. I am saying that you matter very much. You matter so much to the Universe and to Me that now you let go of holding onto your personal needs.

This often means that you keep quiet. It is not so urgent any longer that you express yourself, or, rather, it is imperative that you express yourself in new ways. Sometimes you have to hold your tongue in the interests of all concerned. Understand that I am not diminishing your role. I am telling you that you have a bigger role to fulfill.

When I spoke to the Great Spiritual Ones in the world, they did not say: "But, God...." They did not say, "But, God, I don't want to leave my personality behind. I want to settle my irritations with certain people and certain situations. I want to express myself and my personal needs. I want to settle everything."

If the Great Ones had spoken so, I would have said to them:

"Walk away now. Walk away now from your need to have anything settled the way you believe it has to be. From your limited view, you are right, yet you are leaving your small self behind now, and you are going beyond. Small self is selfishness. You think you have certain needs that have to be responded to, acknowledged, revered. Why, you have bigger fish to fry. You have greater needs than your own to take care of. You have peace to give. You have a bigger pond to live in now. The pond you are meant for is the Whole Universe.

"It is not that you are here to concede. You are here now to stride across the horizon of the past and your attachment to it. You are to take a leap and come with Me as My right hand and bring out Greaterness in everyone. No longer do these unmet needs of yours matter."

I would say to you now the same.

Do you remember the Hobbit who did not want to leave his cozy Hobbit house and his breakfasts and his creature comforts? But what happened is that an X was put on his door. He was chosen to go on an adventure. Despite his personal requirement and reluctance, he went on the adventure. This is how he became a hero, not by staying home and living off the land. He did not stay at home. He left the familiar and entered the Unknown.

We could say that he left his small territory for a far greater one.

This does not have to mean that you must travel, although it may. What you have to leave behind you is the idea that your personal rightness and your personal satisfaction and your personal ego, have to come before the Wholeness of the Big Picture. Let Me remind you again that this step forward is not forced upon you. It is a recognition that you come to. It is your graduation from littleness. You give up your ego and choose greater than yourself. What you are doing is losing your specialness to yourself. This is how you become great.

It may seem contradictory to you that you grow greater by letting go of your singular importance. What We are talking about here now is not a new concept to you. It is inevitable. In order to find yourself, you must lose yourself, your little self, that is.

HEAVEN #3996 The Vastness of Creation, November 3, 2011

God said:

When there is a sky above, day or not, sunny or not, cloudy or not, and you can look up at it, how can you feel tired, afraid, angry, bored, blasé, or any of the variant ways you may feel? Are you not privy to something amazingly wonderful each and every day? How can a sky be so beautiful in so many different ways and you be feeling anything but elated? Just think of it, stars at night, a moon, shadows. What kind of a spectacular God can create such wonder! What a superlative God am I! I am amazed even at Myself! Nevertheless, what could have come from Me but beauty?

I set up a sky so that you might have a glimpse of the Vastness of Creation. I climbed a tall ladder and pasted the stars in the night. Or I leaned down from a cloud and dropped the stars into the night sky. Or I set candles up all over the network of the sky and lit them every night so you may see them and have an idea of majesty.

What about the land and sea that I fashioned when I moved Being into the manifest? Could Eternity even be long enough for Me to describe every Act of Creation? And what about the spinning of planets and the topsy-turviness of it all -- the galaxies and what not? Let Us be even more finite as We ponder the wonders I have performed. A butterfly! A darning-needle! Fireflies! C’mon, what more do you need in order for you to know, and to know without doubt, that there is a God who fashioned everything. Out of seeming Nothingness arose Beauty of such proportions that We can only entitle such Beauty as miraculous. Excuse Me, have you not taken all this into account?

I whipped up your soul, and I interlaced it with the intricacies of the human body. From the top of your head to the tip of your toes, within every aspect of you, I created connections of unbeatable connectedness – of unbelievable connectedness, and yet I ask you to believe, no, more than believe to accept the miracle that you are part of as well.

My most wonderful creation of all is you. Not with carelessness did I give you dominion over every living thing and the world itself. I was not careless nor was I mistaken. I made you in My image so that you could be like Me. You must accept that you have within you the proclivity to be as I am and to fulfill the world with the same beauty in which I created it.

If the world is not yet to your liking, then, following in My footsteps now, desire as I desire, and the next thing you know, the world will be as you desire. To desire is not just wishful thinking. To desire is to create. There is not one minute in which you are not, by your thoughts, by your ideas, creating. You cannot absolve yourself of responsibility.

Responsibility is the same as opportunity. I am not bandying words. Responsibility is that you can do something. Responsibility is a great opportunity. Responsibility is a tribute to your ability. It is a recognition of what is true. Can you or can you not create a world as beautiful as the physical world I created? Certainly life in the world can equal the beauty it served to you on a golden platter? Of course, the extant world can live up to its inherit beauty, and you are the means by which it can.

HEAVEN #3995 There Are No Little Acts, November 2, 2011

God said:

Today is your birthday. Every single day you are born anew. You do not begin today where you left off yesterday. A good night's sleep is not only sleep. You may work hard during sleep. In any case, the person who goes to bed last night is not the same person who gets up this morning. At every instant, there is change, and you change. The beautiful thing is that you can be as you want to be. You can be happy. The only thing is that what you have thought will bring you happiness may not bring you happiness at all.

There are no closed deals in life. Life marches on and takes you with it. The greater gains you make, the greater responsibility comes along. You make conditional agreements with life. You ask life to give you something you want, and promise you will be happy, and then when you get it, you are already moving on to something else. Getting what you want does not necessarily bring you happiness.

This is a lesson that may not have quite gotten through to you. Life is not about getting. When you are in the getting mode, your attention is on yourself. In a giving mode, your attention is out of yourself. Giving expands. Getting contracts. When you talk about giving, your hands gesture away from yourself. When you talk about getting, your hands beckon toward you. Your hands tell a story. Unless you are giving out, you are pulling in. Hold your hands in front of you palms up, and you are offering. Close your hands, and you are taking back the offer, bringing it closer to you.

You think it could only be wonderful to receive. Imagine fame. Imagine a billion dollars. Imagine adoration all over the place. You would be as satisfied or dissatisfied as you have been without fame, money, adoration. After a change in your situation, you are still left with yourself. What you are given is not the making of you. What you give is the making of you.

If you sincerely wish to be happy, then find a way to give. Find your way. The more you create happiness for others, the more you create happiness for yourself. You will have somersaults of joy.

We are talking of true gestures from your heart, not just motions of giving. If you give and feel resentful afterwards because you did not gain applause, you are giving with one hand and taking back with the other.

If you want to stir your heart with happiness, add happiness to someone else's life. The way as you pour salt on your food to season it, pour happiness on someone's heart, and your own heart is seasoned.

Learn new ways of giving. A little giving goes a long way. A little courtesy. Even a pinch of love changes the complexion of everyone's life. A ray of light is light.

Unless you are giving, you are neglecting. Giving thought to another is good. Giving a glance at someone's face is good. Greeting someone is good. Listening to someone is good. Responding to someone is good. Take time to attend to someone. Getting some place on time is not more important than giving attention to the person before you now. Giving attention to another for no other purpose than to add a little light to their life is serving the Universe. There are no little acts. Everything you do or say or give matters a lot. It matters to you, the so-called others, and it matters to Me. I am the Recipient of all your words and your time and your sweetness, and I thank you.

HEAVEN #3994 It's Your Call, November 1, 2011

God said:

Gratitude is great. Gratitude is a technique. Press that gratitude button in your heart often, and see what happens. The more gratitude you have, the more you will have to be grateful for. You will have great gratefulness. You will be attracting it. Your thoughts are like magnets. Whatever you are thinking about, you will attract more of the quality of your thoughts. Thoughts are a dime a dozen. For the same money, you can have thoughts that benefit you rather than thoughts that pull you down.

So, when you have a day when you are down in the dumps, turn your attention on what you are grateful for, and you will no longer be down in the dumps. No matter what solid reason you have to feel down, gratitude will lift you up. Gratitude keeps you open-ended. Feeling down stops you right there. If you want to feel up, remember all that which you are grateful for, and then think of more.

Your attitude is a compilation of your thoughts. Switch your thoughts, and your attitude is switched.

Good news elevates you. Bad news depresses you. Sometimes your thoughts are based on what comes in on you, and, yet, you are the owner of your thoughts. You admit them to your mind, cuddle with them, or you boot them out. Make up your mind, beloveds. You are the chooser of your thoughts. Of course, you would choose uplifting thoughts rather than debilitating ones. Of course, you would, and, yet, sometimes you find yourself hammering the debilitating thoughts.

Tell me how you feel, and I can tell you the thoughts you have echoing in your mind. You can tell yourself. When you are in a pickle, and you want to be out of the pickle, think unpickled thoughts.

When you pick flowers, you choose the flowers you will pick. And if a field does not have the flowers you want, you go to another field. Do the same with your thoughts. Which flowers do you want to put into the vase of your mind? You have your pick. In the case of your thoughts, be fussy.

Be grateful that you are alive. You could have a million reasons why you are not glad to be alive. Now find five reasons why you are grateful. Do not be an ingrate. Thank God for your life. Ungratefulness is selfishness. Gratefulness is generous in its humility. No matter what your circumstances, find the light within and you will be lit. Keep your light on.

Keep your light on so that you are bright and I can spot you anywhere. Keep your light on so you light up the world for others. Anyone can be morose. There's nothing hard about that. By the same token, anyone can be bright. Why would you choose to be morose when you can choose to be bright? Never mind the reasons. The reasons, no matter how evident they are, are, nevertheless, excuses. I will tell you frankly that there is no excuse for you to talk yourself into being less than you are.

You are a powerful human being. You have the power to pull yourself down, and you have the power to pull yourself up. You have the power to drink a cup of ambrosia, and you have the power to drink a cup of bitterness. Bitterness is poison. Which do you choose to fill the world up with? Ambrosia or bitterness? Ambrosia or sourness? It's your call.

HEAVEN #3993 Make Peace Now , October 31, 2011

God said:

You are Don Quixote who duels with windmills. When you battle, odds are that you are battling with yourself. You conceive a battle that you are fighting. You may have desired a battle. You were ready for a fight, and so you found an object.

Battles are manmade. They are not of My making. I have other things to do, like to love and love more and love again and again until you get My love into your head. Your heart is not lacking My love. Your heart is filled with My love, and yet your mind finds ways to contradict the love in your heart. The mind may look for ways. Foolish mind. Foolish ego mind.

It may be that you love a good fight. You feel victorious. Even when you lose, you may feel victorious because your opponent is such a bad guy and you are so virtuous. You may be bruised, and you may sniffle, yet you came out superior. Your ego cheers you.

Feel virtuous without a battle. Be virtuous. When you cannot love the one you see as an opponent, then love someone else. Give yourself over to love. Love someone somewhere. Never be a derelict of love. Let your anger go. There is not advantage to anger.

True, anger lets you know that you are alive. Be creative instead, and you will know that you are alive.

I have to ask you, what purpose does anger serve? Is it really wonderful to be all riled up? Does it take talent to be angry? What is so wonderful about your justifying anger? Be not an anger-monger. If you must justify something, justify love. Be a gardener of love. Plant seeds of love rather than seeds of anger. Plant flowers of love and let go of the armament of anger.

Anger zaps your energy. It may fire you up for a time, but then you are left with heartburn. Ashes of anger do a number on you. Anger simply isn't good for you. It isn't good for anyone. It is self-mutilation. You are responsible for your anger. It is your anger. Anger is a waste of your time. It is more worthwhile for you to twiddle your thumbs than to be angry.

Life in the world is too short to spend on anger. Anger will deplete you every time. Even when you think you have won, you have lost energy. You have thrown yourself away on anger. Anger short-changes you. There are no exceptions to this.

Anger is not honorable. It is dishonorable. No matter how righteous your anger may be, it is self-righteous. Besides, all wars are civil wars. You can only be fighting with your brother. All are your brother or your sister. Don't you have something better you can be than angry? Don't you have something better to do?

Anger is kicking your foot against a wall and wounding yourself. Ultimately, anger is directed to yourself. You are not even fighting windmills. You are fighting an image in the mirror. All opponents simply represent you. They are you.

There is no need for you to come out on top. It is meaningless. You see good guys and bad guys. You do not know what another's life is and what their perception of the world is. I make no excuses for anyone, and I make no excuses for you.

Peace be with you, not anger. Peace be with you. Peace be with you.

The peace of God is within you. You can find it. You can find it now. Find it. Make peace now.

HEAVEN #3992 The Song Is You, October 30, 2011

God said:

I sang a song to Myself, and the song is you. I am singing this song still. I sing a song of Myself, and the song is you. I am quite musical and quite creative. I have the most fun in the world, for I sing.

I sang Creation into being. I enliven enlivenment for the enjoyment of all.

If you really really want to do My Will, then enjoy and laugh and have a good time and see that others are enjoying and laughing and having a good time as well.

Now I ask you with love: Dear Ones, what have you been doing?

It would appear that you have been running through life as fast as you can and with as little damage as possible. Is this correct? Has life been something you get through? Sometimes your moods weigh you down. Well, let Me lift you up. Let Me get you singing, or, at least, humming. Hum a ballad of love. Sing love. Be love. Enact love. Swivel love. To all points, east, west, south, and north, emit love. Be the radar you are.

Do not tell a story that begins:

"Once upon a time, love was not. It was absent from my heart." That is not a true story. It is not even a true fairy tale. If that tale rings true to you, then come back to Truth and tell a different story. Tell yourself a different story. You are the one who needs to be dissuaded from lack of any kind.

Here's a true story to tell yourself:

"Once upon a time, there was everything on Earth, and love most of all. God whispered to me that I am love most of all, that I am all good, and good alone is. In my travels, I seem to set out to tell a different story. I meet marauders, and believe in marauders and marauding. I have to admit it is possible that the Bluebird of Happiness resides in my own backyard. It's possible that the Bluebird of Happiness flutters in my heart, yet he has not visited me lately, or, at least, I have not seen him lately. God says that I disguised the Bluebird of Happiness in my heart as a grouse, so I had a Grouse of Grousing in my heart. God said that is how the Bluebird of Happiness appeared to me because so I thought. God said I drew an untrue picture. God said I drew a picture of a grouse and called it my Heart of Heaviness. I shooed the Bluebird of Happiness away. I kept the Bluebird of Happiness in a cage in a closet and would not let him fly free. A caged bluebird cannot fly. I became a grouse. I became a squawker. How I squawked.

"Then God came to me with a paintbrush. It may have been a crayon or a magic marker. He had a big eraser, and he erased the picture of a grouse grousing in my heart. God drew a magnificent picture of a Bluebird of Happiness in my heart. God told me that this picture of a Bluebird of Happiness belonged in my heart. He said that he replicated that picture in everyone's heart, and now Bluebirds of Happiness alone reside in every heart.

"God said that I am like a template, that I am a template upon which everyone is modeled. He said I have the great joy and responsibility of uncaging this Bluebird of Happiness, that I must keep this Bluebird in my heart at the same time as I free the Bluebird of Happiness to fly high and to fly far and wide.

"Just knowing that this Bluebird exists and exists in my heart, I am a happier soldier of fortune."

HEAVEN #3991 The Name on the Envelope , October 29, 2011

God said:

I place Myself on the altar of your love. You are the offering you give to Me. What else do you have to give Me but yourself? And what other offering is worth your love? I accept your love, and I spin your love out to the Universe like a million stars. Love is a bouncing ball. Love throws itself, and love catches itself. Love is the only game in town. Love bounces, and love revolves, and love is the making and the meaning of you.

You have an endless love quotient. Be the love you are. Practice it. Remember it. Remember it at every moment. Sometimes you forget. Remember love now, and never forget it.

Foremost, you are a giver of love. Love is the wheat you separate from the chaff. Anything that is not love is dispensable. Love itself is indispensable. Just the same, all love is to be given away. It cannot be kept. Hoarding love doesn't work. Giving love works although you are not looking for results. The trick is that you give flawlessly. To give love with expectation of return is love flawed. There are no claims to the love you give. And there are no disclaimers.

When you give love, you have to let go of it. When you hold on to love, you haven't given it. You are holding it above someone's head the way you might hold a pendulum.

Love is not to have hesitation go along with it. You give love or you don't. Half-giving love is not giving. Love is not meant to be a dog on a leash. Laws in the world may govern that you must keep your dog on a leash. Laws in the world are not to govern love. Concepts in the world are not to govern love. Love is its own governor. Give your love right and left. Strew your love like seeds. Love is a seed that always bears fruit, yet you are not to think of the fruit. Let love seed itself of its own accord.

Do not consider love a gamble. Love is a given. Love is an outpouring of what I gave to you to give. I stir your hearts like soup. Once stirred, you realize that you are in a soup kitchen, and you serve the love that I have stirred on behalf of all. The love I gave to you simply isn't your personal love to pick and choose from, to keep some, give away some, decide to whom or when. No, all is My love. My love is like an envelope I have given to you. The name on the envelope is Everyone. The date stamp on the envelop is Today.

All the love in the world is to be given away today. What a rumble in the world that will make. No love is to be saved for later. No love is to be put aside for a rainy day. All love is to gather around the Maypole of life. All love is communal. You can't give love to one and not another. You give love as a package. All love to all. And then pass it around again.

Consider love butter. You are not stingy with it. You slather that butter on the bread. There is no holding back. There is no saving the butter for later. There is only spreading it. And then what a treat it is to savor that delicious butter. Then you can lick the butter knife, and you, who has given My love away, you become fully the essence of My love. There are no little acts.

All acts are a giving of love, and giving love is a great thing, and so, as you share the butter of love, life is lived on Earth as it is meant to be lived.

HEAVEN #3989 God's DNA Fills Your Cells , October 27, 2011

God said:

If you knew, really knew, My love for you, you would be the happiest person in the world. That is a fact. If you are less than happy, then you do not know the depth and breadth of My love for you. My love for you shines. It must be that you have looked away. You have not believed that I or anyone could love you as much as I do love you, and you point to your life when you would do better to point to Me.

Dare to look into My eyes, for My eyes are eyes of love. My love is yours. Let My love reach you. Let My love reach into each cell of yours. We have talked a lot about your heart and how much My heart resides in yours.

Now let's talk about your cells. Feel My love entering every single cell of your body. Within each cell of the physical mechanism that We call your body is My DNA.

Your heart is My heart. My heart is enclosed in yours, and yours is enclosed in Mine. By the same token, My DNA fills your cells. My DNA is love. Let My love fill your cells. Feel My love entering every cell of your body. Let there be an onslaught of My love filling your cells. Let My love flood your cells.

The way you fill your tummy with food, fill your cells with My love. You cannot overfill your cells. You cannot have too much love sloshing around there in the intimacy of your cells. Your cellular structure is made of My love. It is made for My love.

The same way as your heart bursts with love, your cells burst with love. There cannot be too much love. Love is your containment. You are meant to be filled with love. My DNA is love. Your existence is love.

Be My love. Be filled with My love. You are a physical manifestation of Me. What else would it mean that you were made in My image? I made you Myself of Myself.

Consider that My love is light, and, so, allow My light to fill every cell of your body. Let your body be one magnificent cell of light. This true light is infinite. It never goes off. It stays on.

Now, do not be afraid to reflect Me. You are meant to reflect My light. Fill yourself with My light, and you will, indeed, be the Light of the World. You do not lose My light by revealing it. Reveal My light to yourself now. Begin with you.

If I were to take your picture and hand it to you, you would see nothing but light. You would see swirling golden light in motion. You are a Being of Light. You are a Being of Light who has seen a different picture of yourself. Isn't it time that you look at yourself differently?

What good is it to see yourself in a lesser light than you are? Is there some boon in this that I am unable to see?

You're not thinking that you're right and I'm wrong, are you? You don't think that your eyes are better than Mine, do you?

When will you come over to My way of seeing and My way of thinking? Certainly, you don't think that I'm supposed to come over to your way of thinking and seeing.

If you have not opened your eyes to the Truth of what I say, then open your eyes now. Open your heart. Open your cells, and let Me in. Let Me into your awareness. Make My awareness yours.

HEAVEN #3988 Moving to a Palace, October 26, 2011

God said:

Your life is your interpretation of it. Your life is as you say it is. If you don't admire your life as it is now, then see it differently, interpret it differently, speak about it differently. This is a great secret I give to you, only, you have always known this secret, and still you held on to your life as it had become familiar to you.

You have every opportunity to change your life. Unless you are satisfied with it, change it. Change starts in your thoughts and not in action. Changing your thoughts is not like rearranging furniture in your house. In your house, you can move furniture around until you like the arrangement.

It's not the same with moving the furniture of your life. Let the changing of your life be the result of your changing thoughts. Certainly, there is doing in life, yet you change your life from the inside. Because you might move to a palace does not yet mean you are a King. Having a million dollars does not make you a millionaire. Plastic surgery may fix your nose and, yet, you keep the same image of your face. Change comes from within.

You may divorce one wife to find you marry a new one just like the one before.

Changes on the outside will be made. You may move to a new town, and, yet, before you know it, life is the same. You who walk down different streets are the same you, simply walking down different streets.

Rather than a face lift, lift your heart. Give your thoughts and your heart something new. Make your thoughts more beautiful. This is something for you to do. Embrace new thoughts, happier thoughts, and you will be happier. A new car makes you happier for a while, yet We are talking about filling your heart with refreshing thoughts.

Do not drag the same suitcases of thoughts along with you. Let them go. New thoughts for all.

If you are a pessimist, become an optimist. Do it fast. No more delays.

Unless you have something good to say, don't say it.

If you were to build a new house, you would not use rusty nails. If you want to feel better, boost your thoughts. Take protein drinks of new thinking. That will give you new strength. You have been putting the cart before the horse. Changing the exterior of your life before you change your mind - your way of thinking - is putting the cart before the horse.

A tree does not grow from the outside. It is from the sap within that the tree grows and its growth is seen. And, so, you are a sapling that grows. Whatever happens to you on the outside is nothing next to what happens inside. How deeply your thoughts influence you. Surmount your old thoughts now.

If you have been inculcated with thoughts that say you are not good enough, listen to Me and remind yourself of what I say, for I say you are beautiful. I say you are brilliant. I say you can be all that you want to be, and all that you want to be begins with your thoughts now. One way or another, your thoughts will change. Change them now.

If your house is robbed, no matter how innocent you may be, you attracted the robbers. Perhaps your thoughts have been that you have been denied, and so robbers come to your house to deny you.

At the same time as I tell you that there is no cause and effect, I also tell you that you are responsible. To live the life you desire, elevate your thoughts, and so your life will be elevated. No more old thinking. Old thinking will get you into the fix that you think you are already in.

HEAVEN #3987 Where Love Is King, October 25, 2011

God said:

If enough of you, My beloved children, would know your loveliness and your lovingness, all the problems of the world would be taken away. Love would replace problems. The world would be revolutionized. It would be unrecognizable. You would be sure that you had landed in Heaven.

Death of the body would not be the trauma it is today. Bodies would die just the same, yet the suffering would retreat and take a more modest role. I have said that all suffering is imagined. With love at every juncture, death and suffering would not assume the importance they have. History would, indeed, be a thing of the past.

Focus would be on love, and this is becoming more and more the case. Enter love, and suffering goes out the window. Death will have a better balance in the world. Instead of suffering loss, you will have a greater awareness of your loved ones and your love for them and what love means. You will take departed loved ones to greater heart. Your heart will be fuller. You will love with or without physical dimensions. The object of your love will not steal the scene. Love will steal the scene. Love will keep getting bigger. There is no end to the expansion of love. Love is a balloon that will never pop. You have thought that love or a loved one can disappear. You have had many thoughts that will no longer bother you when your heart is righted.

So let's right your heart. Never imagine suffering again, and your heart will never suffer again. Or, if it does, your mind will put that pitiless suffering where it belongs which is nowhere. Your mind will remove all thoughts of suffering in a flash. Your mind is tired of functioning as it has been. Your mind wants relief from your endless thoughts built on the sticks of fear and suffering.

Your mind will unwind and become tranquil. Oh, to think of it, your mind restful instead of restless. Of all the miracles in the world, do you not think this is possible, and possible for you? It is easily possible. In fact, possibility will become certainty. Since everything is possible, peace in your mind and heart and all over the world is also possible, and possible now.

You have almost reached this peace. Storms may go on now, yet storms will not last. Most assuredly, the storms in your heart will not last. And the fuming of your mind also will not last.

Of all the things in the world that you have thought do not last, like love, like youth, like peace, let go of those thoughts and think of the temporariness of storms. Yes, think differently. Surely you do not want to keep the motor of past thoughts running. That makes no sense. You have always wanted to make sense. That has been one of your difficulties.

The way to come to your senses is to let go of the sense of logic. Logic looks too far to the past. Logic is built on the past. Your life is to be built on the raft of the present. The present does not know past. As it is, for the most part, you have been living in the past. It is in the past that you should fear to tread, not the present. Stop bringing the past into the present. Let go of that past. It haunts and trips you up.

I am where the present is. I am Eternity. Come with Me and enter the portals of Eternity where only peace is known and where Love is King.

God said:

You are a wonderful balm to My heart. I bet you thought it was the other way around. Accept the fact that you are good for Me. You are a blessing I gave to Myself. You are My very Being. I love to look at Myself everywhere in everyone. I see you. I see Me. Oh, I see Myself everywhere, and I see love, and I feel love, and I am love.

And when you feel Me, sense Me, you also feel love, and you feel a love grander than any other. We have a mutual love that transcends even the greatest human love.

You never perceive Me in need, do you? As the song says, All I need is you. I already have you in My awareness, so I have no need at all. I am your Perfect Love, and you are Mine. Our whole vibration is love. Our essence is love, and We are, after all, the same essence. We have nothing to prove, beloveds. We are, and that We are is phenomenally wonderful. And what We are is phenomenally wonderful. There is nothing more to say. We are the permanent of the Permanent.

On Earth, everything is temporary. Like a play in the theater, life on Earth is temporary. A play ends. Life on Earth ends, yet life is a diamond that lasts forever.

There is no going on or off the stage of Eternal Life. The curtain never closes. It never opens as such. It is always open. We could say that True Life is open-ended, yet it is more accurate to say that it is never-ending. Not only is life eternal, it is infinite. Infinite possibilities. Within the Oneness that We supremely are graze infinite possibilities. I ask you, how is it possible that I created Oneness and Uniqueness all in one masterful stroke?

To take the question closer to home, how could I create you and Sally next door? How could I create man and woman and the infinite birds and fishes? How could I create even one inch of Earth. Think about it. All that I did was have a sound come out of My throat - yet I have no throat - and yet I sing. All I did was have Creation come from My breath, and yet I have no lungs. From Nothing I created Everything, and yet the Nothing I created from was already Everything. It must be that I pointed to whatever already was, and so it blossomed forth. Yes, maybe all I had to do was point, and you appeared, and yet, with what finger did I point? I ask unanswerable questions. Look at My Creation. Really look, and what question is there to ask?

Instead of asking questions, exclaim instead:

"O God, what wonders, beauty, and utility did You create! In a trice, You created All That Is. The most wonderful thing of all is that You created me. You created me! You molded me out of clay. You breathed upon me the same way as you breathed upon the Entire Universe. You breathed me into life. And what did I do but scamper away from You? I retreated. I discovered ego, and I played it to the hilt. I was going to have everything my way. What foolishness. Now I know that I can have Everything Your Way. Give me Your Way, God, and I will gladly follow. For a while, I lost my place, and now I have found my place with You. I am humbled and proud at the same time. I am grateful and thrilled that I have found my way to You, and my way to You is, after all, Your way to me. I thank You, God, for all Your blessings upon me. You are my Great Blessing, and now I am Yours."

HEAVEN #3985 Oceans of Love , October 23, 2011

God said:

All you want is love. That is a fact. That is across the board. All you want is love.

All the song lyrics are right. All you want is love. And you will accept all semblance of love as love, even when you know it isn't. You want love so much you will even accept imitations. You know better, and yet, you crave love so much, you will accept anything. You will do almost anything in order to grab the love your heart longs for.

You feel that there is a hole so deep in your heart that you will accept anything to fill it. How threadbare you feel your heart is. How longing your heart is for love that you will even accept crumbs.

The thing is that no one can fill your heart for you. You can kid yourself about this, yet the kidding lasts only so long. Eventually, when you tip your heart, you find it is still empty.

It is incumbent upon you to fill your heart with love. It is your love to fill your heart with. It is My love to fill your heart with. And then you will give away all that love. And when you tip your heart, you will find that it is still full. It is brimming with love. It is overflowing. Only that which you give do you keep. That's how it is.

Love in your heart wants to get going. It doesn't want to feel stuck in one place. Unless your heart is flowing love, your heart is like a car going down a one-way street the wrong way. There is only one way for love to surface, and that is flowing from your heart. How important is the preposition - from. From, not to. If you think love has to come to you, you have it wrong. The love you have is yours to give. Love flows out. This is the ebbing of the tide of love. It washes through you. Yes, you fill your heart by emptying it. The well of love to drink from is your own.

I say that with the understanding that all love is Mine. It is from Me. That is how My heart is filled with love. I give it away. I do not count. I do not measure. I give. I give constantly. I give without reservation. I give to all. I give to all all the love in My heart. My love has a good time. I never cut it off. I give an ocean-stream of love. One bucket cannot fill My heart of love. Ocean after ocean fills My heart so that I can pour Mine into yours. My love flows through your heart. There is no love but Mine. And that is your love to give.

You who are waiting for love to come to you have been given it. You have to notice. I have pumped love into your heart without cease. Start emptying your heart of love, and you will begin to see how full of love your heart is. You cannot dam your heart up. You have to open the dikes and let all that love through.

Love people. Love what you do. Love, love, love. Get that love flowing.

You are not to be a hoarder of love. The more you hoard love, the less you have. It evaporates. There is no silo for love. There are only hearts. Hearts are passed from one to another, from one generation to another. If your heart is a deck of cards, you must deal. You don't wait for someone else to deal. You are the dealer of love, and you must deal love out.

Let love emanate from you. Spoken or unspoken, emanate love.

HEAVEN #3984 Cream Cakes , October 22, 2011

God said:

From My heart to yours, from your heart to Mine. This is the Truth of Life. This is love We send forth and receive. There is love and nothing but love.

From the fullness of My heart, love arises. And My heart is within yours. Recognize this truth and accept it. You have to accept the Whole Truth. Partial truth can only be partial. Partial truth does not fit the bill. Partial truth cannot substitute for the Whole Truth, this Whole Truth that seems unfathomable to you.

You feel: "If what God says to me is true, then why do I feel like this? Why do I feel unfulfilled? Sometimes I feel rotten. Certainly, a lot of the time, I feel lack-luster, out of sync, in trouble, at best, bewildered. Does my being unhappy reflect my lack of belief in You and my lack of belief in myself?"

Belief is not quite the right word. It is not a question of belief. It is a question of awareness. Sometimes you have the awareness of the Truth of all I say, and yet you haven't been quite able to hold on to it.

Beloveds, how many times does a jingle go through your head? How many times do you watch a commercial? Or run your age-old thoughts through your excavating mind?

The time will come when you have full awareness of Me. It may seem to happen suddenly or slowly. It may happen with your urging or, seemingly, even against your will. No matter, your awareness of All That Is is not a belief. Belief is an idea. I am Reality. We are talking about Reality.

When something happens, it happens. We are talking about a natural event. When you come to recognize Me in every quarter, in every person, in everything, it is natural. It is wonderful, and it is natural. When it happens, it is easy. It is simply the next step.

In one sense, nothing happens because Our Oneness was always a fact, only a fact that you couldn't quite fathom. And now, you have fathomed it. If fathom means you figured it out, then fathom is not the right word. You see it. You feel it. You know it. Just the way when spring comes, you know it's spring.

We could say that you have an enormous bank account. You had heard about it, yet you hadn't seen it yet. One day you go to the bank, and you see your account. You see all those zeroes. The wealth was always yours, only you hadn't seen it until one day. On that one day, your whole posture changes, for now you know you are a mighty trillionaire. Never were you anything less. But all this had to dawn on you. Oh, My, how bright you look now. How quick your step. How full your heart is. Your mind too. Your heart and mind have become aware.

You didn't take your seeming new state on hearsay. You saw it all for yourself. You, who were always the same, now are different. From awareness, you feel the difference. For you before, it was like you were told there is a magnificent cream cake for you in the refrigerator, only you couldn't quite reach the refrigerator handle to open it. Your refrigerator did not have a glass door. You couldn't see the cream cake. You couldn't smell it. You could only crave it. Not until you opened the refrigerator door, were you able to see for yourself and gobble up that cream cake that was always yours.

When it comes to the awareness We are talking about, it is always fresh. It is always vital. It is always beautiful. It is as fresh as a spring day, and now you have this spring day for Eternity. It never fades. It never becomes less. It never ceases. All the cream cakes in the world are yours.

HEAVEN #3983 From the Font of Silence , October 21, 2011

God said:

Tell Me frankly, is there really anything but love that you crave?

You associate many things with love, and yet, they are not love. Without love, they are nothing.

Some things that represent love are money, food, candy, jewelry, flowers, a smile, a pat on the back, time spent with you, invitations, a ride. Yes, these are very nice, yet without love, these are nothing. A dandelion held out to you by a child's hand is always real because the gift comes fully from the child's heart without prompting. The other samples may be or may not be real. You want the real thing. Of course.

Love can be given in so many ways, and you, hungry as you are, want all of them. Sometimes, or often, or all the time, you cannot get enough, for you feel love is lacking. You look for it everywhere and may find it nowhere. You may have received real love in the past, but where is it now? You forage for love. You seek and do not find.

Perhaps you are looking for your worth in the attention of others upon you. This is a losing feat. You have to give to yourself the love and approbation you seek. Otherwise, you are clingy. And clingy means that you are demanding. You cannot demand love from anyone. Love has to be its own. Meanwhile, in a land of plenty, you may not discern love. And, yet, dear ones, there is nothing else real in this world but love. The proof of love you seek is an endless search, however. There is no badge to love. There is no token of love that can fit the bill.

You also are not certain that you have love to give. You may give it, and it is received, and yet your heart feels hollow. You feel bereft of love. You seek it in your own heart and find it not. Where lies this pot of gold that you seek? It seems to be beyond you.

If this is your situation, stop hunting and just give the love that your heart wishes it had to give. Give away every vestige of love you have. Give the thought of love. Keep giving it. Empty the love in your heart, and you will be filling your heart up with love.

Love is not a commodity. You cannot pick it up with your fingers. You cannot bind it in ribbons. You cannot hang it on the wall. You cannot distribute it like a handshake. You cannot pick up scraps of love. You cannot sew them together. As soon as love is gathered, it is flown. It escapes your reach.

And yet I tell you and tell you again that there is naught in the whole world but love. Where is it then? Where does it exist?

Consider love energy, beloveds. What does science say about energy? They say it is never lost. Energy is. Energy exists. Without the energy of love, you could not lift your hand. You could not read My message. Without love, you wouldn't be alive in your body.

Will you now please accept that you are love, and that you are love complete? You can stop searching for love, for you yourself are an embodiment of love. You are an embodiment of My love. My love, like energy, cannot be gainsaid. It cannot be undone, nor can it be forsaken. I made you from love. Accept this one thought and make it your own. Do this, and you will be revolutionized, and you will stir the world to greater heights. Love exists, and you are love. With or without your body, you are love.

You and I are One Love. We are All That Is. We are energy. From the Font of Silence, comes energy.

HEAVEN #3982 You Are a Grower of Love , October 20, 2011

God said:

In your dreams while you are asleep, I have sent you the message that you are here on Earth to benefit all whom you meet. All. No exceptions. I have sent you the message that you are not here for yourself. Oh, yes, you will benefit as well, yet what in life accrues to you is a by-product. What accrues to you is not your purpose.

Now, to serve others best and, therefore, Me, respect your life and your energy. I do not tell you to coddle others, but nor do I tell you to coddle yourself.

Think of Me. Don't forget Me, yet do not harp on Me to others. You found Me. Others will find Me as well. They have their journey, and you have yours. At the same time, your journey is to give solace to the world and the people who live in, have lived in it, will live in it.

Your legacy has to be love. This is all you have to bequeath, now, past, and future. Love is eternal, yet it is for you to extend it. Be you the reminder of love. Be you the reminder of Me, not in words, but in your realization of love.

So many of My children seek enlightenment and higher states of consciousness. Seek them not for yourself but for your blessing upon others.

You have the idea by now that there are no others. It is not yet possible for you to fully savor that way of looking at the world, for you see much to belie that idea. Nevertheless, who is before you, perceived friend or foe, is also an embodiment of Me which you are as well. I tell you to pay attention to how well you embody Me and therefore how well you uplift everyone you meet and everyone you don't meet.

You have embarked on a journey for Me. I multiplied Myself in you. I put My trust in you to give Me to the world. As My representative, you are on Earth to represent Me, certainly not your smallness. To represent Me, you rise above your smallness, another name for which is ego. Get your ego out of the way. It is in your way, beloveds.

Ego is a hold-over from the past. Ego is a hold-over from your past thinking which has included the idea that you are by yourself and must fend for yourself whether it is to the happiness of others or not. I am telling you now that you are to play a part in the happiness of others. You already do play a key part in the happiness or unhappiness of others. So, then, you might say that your own happiness is a requirement. You are not wrong there. At the same time, your happiness does not come from pandering to yourself. Your happiness comes, not from neglect of yourself, but on forgetting yourself. Forget your importance. Self-importance isn't the topic of the day. Self-importance is another name for ego. Ego is not important. Ego is unimportant. Sorry, ego, that is the true state of affairs.

Ego is the least important aspect of human life. Ego is inconsequential. Your ego is inconsequential. Your ego is a waste of time. Your ego is a waste of life. It is a waste of your attention.

Nor are you here to salvage others' egos. Of course not. You do not pander to your own ego nor do you pander to another's ego. Uplifting another's spirit is not the same as encouraging their ego. Uplifting others is giving others a truer picture of themselves. It is ennobling them. It is not from ego that you uplift another. It is from love, and from love grows love. You are a grower of love.

HEAVEN #3981 What Does Your Soul Yearn For?, October 19, 2011

God said:

To what do I owe this pleasure? This pleasure of having you before Me, the pleasure of your reading My words, the pleasure of your giving Me your attention, the pleasure of your listening to Me at least with half an ear?

You want everything wonderful, and yet My children have a tendency to want to keep their thoughts as they have been. Beloveds, keep the thoughts that further you along, and let go of those that keep you stuck in the same place and serve you not at all.

In order for life to change, the thoughts you think have to change. What is this determination to hold onto old ways of thinking regardless of the cost? If you would like to move forward, then it behooves you to find forward-moving thoughts, adventurous thoughts. Let's call your thoughts ideas. Have new ones. Replace the old ones. Get on with it.

Your thinking needs a tune-up. Your thinking may well need refurbishment. You might want to consider your mind an attic where you have too much stuff stored. Clean out that attic. How good that will feel to have clear space.

That which you feel you cannot part with may be just what you need to part with. You do want to be rejuvenated, don't you?

You want a young mind. You want a pioneer mind. Think some thoughts you have never thought before. Engage in life. Take life by the hand and give your utmost. Be open, and you will give your utmost. Branch out. Take a chance on life. What do you have to lose? Only an old way of seeing the world and living in it.

What was new last year is no longer new. Are you afraid of change?

Life will change before your eyes regardless. With or without your cooperation, life will have its way. It has been said that you can't walk in the same stream twice, but, ah, beloveds, you have often walked in the same puddle. Make way for growth. Be open to it. Call it to you. Enter newness.

That's the thing about love. Love is alive right this minute. Love is fresh like a lily of the valley. Dried flowers just aren't the same. So it is with old ways of thinking. You want to have fresh ones. If your mind is a vase, you want to change the water and the flowers of your mind.

There is no old thought so precious that you must hang on to it. It is not so that there is nothing new under the sun. Today is new under the sun, and you are new under the sun, and you can change your mind. You can open the windows and pull back the blinds, and you can see a vaster view, and you can meet life from a running stance. Renew your life with bolder thoughts. Drop off old ones. New wares for old.

Expand. You are not an old dog, and you can learn new tricks. You can harvest a new crop of thoughts. Just because you have carried certain views of the world for your lifetime doesn't mean you have to carry them now. Old baggage is old baggage.

There are eternal Truths. Old and eternal are not the same.

If you would like more oomph in your life, picture what your life would look like. Want it for yourself for good reason, not someone else's reasoning, not because it's popular, but because your soul yearns for it. What does your soul yearn for? And why not have it right now? Why not?

HEAVEN #3980 What Holy Beings Do When They Are on Earth , October 18, 2011

God said:

Sometimes life seems like a delicious ice cream cone that suddenly falls to the ground. There is that most delicious aspect of life, and there is also a less desired aspect of life. Yet, if you could look at life anew, if you could look at life as new and not old hat, how marvelous you would see that life is. Life can do anything. It can give you anything. It can take away anything. Life seems to have a mind of its own.

And, yet, at the same time, even so, you create the life you lead. That seems preposterous, yet what does that mean? Surely, you did not plot your life. Just the same, your life walks with you. Strictly speaking, your life isn't anyone else's. It is the life you are living. Whether it is life on the beaten path or life to new heights, you are the one living it. You perceive. You speak. If life were a horse, you are riding it.

No two lives are exactly alike. Twins lead different lives. Never were there two identical lives. In the countless number of lives, no two have ever been the same. What are the odds of that? Yet that is how it is. Unique is every life. Without trying, every life is unique.

And you, with the eyes to see and the heart to feel, your life changes. Sometimes your life changes a mile a minute. Your life does not stand still in any case. Your life blooms, and your life fades. There is more to your life than the life you perceive. Deep down, deeper than all the fervor and events, everyone's life is the same. What a contradiction.

All lives come from the same fount. All lives on Earth are waves on the Ocean, arisen from the depths of the Ocean, and yet no two waves are alike, and, yet, all waves crest, and all waves are made of the same sea water. It is not likely that you can figure life out. Life is immeasurable, unpredictable and predictable in terms of an overview of life.

How does letting go fit in? How can you let go of all the waves, all the interminable waves that rise and fall, that inundate you or desert you. Regardless, you are swept up in a strong force of life, and I will tell you that you are swept up in Holiness. Even that which you see as ridiculous or life-threatening is but a shadow on the screen of life. The screen upon which life appears is the same screen that has always been. The foundation and background are the same.

You have visited many lives from shore to shore. You are experienced, and yet you are new-born, and you have blanked out. Somehow, you find yourself in a human body. It is most mysterious. It is like a joke has been played on you, and, through it all, I tell you that you are a Holy Being tossed around a hill of life in the world.

To what end are you here in life in the world? What purpose do you serve? What is it all about?

It is about movement, and it is about Stillness. It is about juggling two lives in one body. It is like being a soul in a sack. The body tires. The soul does not. The soul is enterprising and involved in Vastness. The body traipses around and has to rest. The body sleeps and the soul never. Your soul is ever-awake. Your soul is never alone, never astonished, never takes anything amiss. You never part company with your soul. Your soul never goes on vacation. For your soul, all of life on Earth is a vacation. Your soul always rallies around you. It is not wayward. Your soul and I agree that, despite what you may think, you are a Holy Being doing what Holy Beings do when they are on Earth.

HEAVEN #3979 Come Closer to Understanding , October 17, 2011

God said:

The world is a circus, didn't you know that? Everything is thrown up in the air, or juggled in the air, comes down, and is returned again. Everything is up in the air and upside down and backwards/forwards and inside out, and nothing is what it seems. Is this not a valid description of life?

How would you describe life in the world? Easy-going banter? Solid, reliable? Just what you expect? No, the world catches you in a vise and then drops you unexpectedly, and you fall through thin air. The thing is: I catch you. I well understand that you may think that I too often drop you. No, I catch you every time. Only you don't always know what is in your best interest. Even that which is intolerable to you is ultimately in your best interest. Truly, you are unable to grasp this no matter how hard you may try. This, you can only take My word for.

Even your greatest disappointment, your greatest loss, your greatest heartache, your greatest tragedy -- all have had your best interest at heart. We are talking the long haul. If We are talking only in terms of your short life on Earth, of course, you can only see tragedy as travesty. There is no possible way such heartache or so much heartache could be to your advantage. Of course you cannot see. No one can see. Even uninvolved strangers would say, "What a terrible thing," and, yet, here am I right with you and you right with Me, but, for all intents and purposes, so far as you can see, I am sitting on the other side of the fence, or, rather, sitting in Heaven where you do not fathom that you are with Me as well.

Let Us say, just to come closer to understanding, that you have a wondrous picnic planned. You have thought of everything. And then, despite predictions, there is a torrential rainstorm, and everything and everyone is soaked. The food is rained on, the decorations, and there are puddles to walk through. The predicted picnic is ruined. If the picnic were all there was in your life, that would be one thing. The fact is that there is more to your life than this picnic. You can't gauge your whole life on the merits of a picnic.

In terms of your life as a whole, if you must judge your life, then focus on its merits and not let the demerits weigh so heavily as they do. Get over them is the advice given, and yet that is far from an easy stint for you. Yes, there is something to be said about putting life in perspective. You can put a broken tooth in perspective. You may even be able to put the ruined picnic in perspective, and, yet, how can you put some occurrences of the world in perspective? Where do you put starvation, war, and domination into perspective? There are those matters which are beyond ego.

It is hard to live in a world where there is strife. You don't have to go to a war-torn country to know what strife is. It is hard to live in a world where you are hungry. It is also hard to live in a world where your tummy is full and there are others who didn't have any supper and no one knows what to do about it. Even if someone knows what to do, he may not know how to accomplish it. This is hard for you to bear, and impossible to understand and accept. It is not all right. It is not just. It is not fair. Something is out of balance. This is true. And yet, as hard as it is to fathom, bodies and death are not the sum of life on Earth.

Will you conceive that love from your heart and from many hearts will cure even starvation? More love will balance the world. Life on Earth does not have to be a spectacle. You can get it back in shape. Love will do it. Love can solve the difficulties of the world.

HEAVEN #3978 Dancing on a Continuum of Love , October 16, 2011

God said:

Enthrall your heart with Mine, and We will dance off the pages of history. We will dance anew on a platform you haven't danced on before. It will seem like that. You will learn new steps, and you will dance as you have never danced before. You are learning new steps now. I am dancing as I have always danced, and now you are on your way to keeping up with Me.

How We dance is of the utmost importance. We have been doing nothing but dancing. You have not always been in step with Me, and now you are beginning to get the hang of it. Love inspires Us to dance across the screen of life. Let Us dance in tandem. Let Us be in step as We dance in life, as We dance in love. Love is the direction We go in. There is no other. Love is the only direction to go in. No other direction exists. You pander to other directions as if they were real. Mistaken perception is mistaken perception.

What if everyone in the world fostered the direction of love and gave no credence to any opposites to love? What direction would the world go in then? Does anyone doubt the efficacy of what I say? What do you imagine has held the world back but all the fussing and fuming of what does not in truth exist? The conceived negativity of the world has occupied much your energy. You have focused on it, this misperceived negativity.

Put your love where you suppose negativity is, and negativity will vanish from the face of the Earth. It was only imagined. What is imagined plays itself out. Love has no ending, however. Beloveds, We dance on a continuum of love.

Love is eternal and infinite. Therefore, love exists. That which is not eternal and infinite exists only in the mind. Your emotions don't exist. Emotions are machinations of the mind. You can know that because of how uncomfortable the emotions you put yourself through are. That which is true is comfortable. That which is untrue is uncomfortable.

Never mind this idea that negativity and anger can spur you on, motivate you. If you want to feel motivated, try positivity. Try love. Love is beyond emotion. The love I speak of is a constant. It cannot be trifled with. It is not insignificant. It is significant. It is the ruling force of life. You can live without all the variant forms of negativity. You cannot live without love. Love is your life-force. If you are alive, you know love. And if you are not alive on Earth, then you know love even better.

Conditions and conditioning on Earth are not true. The whole basis is false. The false basis is that anything but love is true when love is the only Truth. The rest is fiction. Well-done fiction, yet fiction nevertheless. Even in the most dire fiction, love comes through. When the last page is turned, love keeps on going.

Three cheers for love. Why focus on anything else? Why focus on the drips and drabs of discontent, why attempt to prove a basis for discontent, why stick up your nose in the air and pontificate error in the world, why find fault for the miniscule when you can let it go and bring love in? You do everything to keep mud out of your house. You wipe your feet. You may take off your shoes. You may sweep.

And when it comes to the mind, you may bring in the moil and mud and examine and reexamine them. Does this make any sense to you?

Make your mind a mud-free environment. Don't open your mind to that which you don't want.

HEAVEN #3977 You Are Ever Rising Higher and Higher , October 15, 2011

God said:

You are always rising. Despite what you may think, you are always rising, and you rise higher and higher. Despite what you may do, you are rising higher and higher. Know this. Know that you are coming closer to Me in the illusion of time and space, for the Truth is, you have never been away from Me. You may have been in pursuit of forgetfulness, and, just the same, there is no awayness from Me. There is no apartness. There is no distance. Distance is illusion the same way that time is illusion. Well-believed in, documented, proven, and, yet, not the case.

That there is neither time nor space means that Being is, and Being is not temporary. Being is eternal. Being is infinite. That means that you are, and you are with Me in this spectacular moment of no time and no space. No distance exists between Us. There are no exceptions. We ARE, and WE are One. You merely chase yourself around the game board and call it a Game of Life. You have spread yourself far and wide. You have gone round and round the mulberry bush. You have found ways to be stressed. If you think that We are at a distance or at odds, you may be sure you are stressed.

With Me, you can relax. Without Me, without your realization of Me, ease and relaxation are wishful thinking. You have a different concept of reality. You consider widely known facts as reality when facts could not be further from the Truth.

You may feel that you are at the opposite scale of love, unloved and unloving, and you have deeds to prove it, and, yet, nevertheless, you have proven fallacy. You have long been a prover of fallacy. You have convinced yourself. You have convinced yourself with a lot of help from the convinced world. The world has you twisted around its little finger. You will believe anything. You will believe contrary to Truth as quick as a wink. And you will uphold mistaken Truth loyally. You are loath to divert from what you have accepted and believed in. You will hold onto it tooth and nail. You will convince yourself that you are not worth much, and you have statistics to prove it, from school and your parents - school and parents did the very best they could -- and yet they were caught in the trap of self-denigration.

Nevertheless, the buck rests with you. You are here now, and I am talking to you.

What would it take for you to believe in your worth to yourself and the Universe? What would it take?

It will take letting go of the past and forging a new path for yourself. Take off in a different non-existent direction. Do you hear Me? Offer yourself in service to Me. Serve Me more than you serve an outdated picture of yourself. Forget you for a while, and remember Me.

If you resist remembering Me, then remember love. That will do very well. Think in terms of plusses and no longer minuses. Yes, let Us come down to simple arithmetic then.

If something is a minus, discard it.

It something is a plus, such as love, then adapt it. You may feel that sometimes you fake love, and yet you will discover that it is not fake, for love is the only True there is.

Unless you know you are a worthy Being on Earth, then you have defrauded yourself. You have fooled yourself. You listened to propaganda. Now listen to Me. Listen to the beat of My heart, and listen to the beat of your heart. To what is your heart set? It is set to My heart.

Accept that you are love, and be it.

HEAVEN #3976 Your Beautiful Ripe Blossoming Heart, October 14, 2011

God said:

I have asked before: Why must your heart ache so?

Sometimes your heart aches about you know-not-what. It aches without reason. It aches because it aches. You may be an habitual heart-acher.

Something clutches your heart, and tries to take your beating heart away from its normal state of love. Your heart would rather love than anything else. It is not your heart that does this aching as if on its own volition. No, you put your heart in this state.

Why? What do you think would happen if you loved your heart and allowed your heart to love as only your heart can love? Your mind cannot love. Your mind is too distracted to love. Your mind is a cat that pounces while your heart is a cat that lies on its back and likes to be petted. What have you done to your heart to make it ache so? What has your mind done to your heart? What have you permitted your mind to do to that beautiful ripe blossoming heart of yours?

Take care of your heart now. Love it as you have never loved before. I gave you My heart in trust. Make My trust founded. Take care of the heart I have entrusted you with. Nourish it. Never let it go hungry. When it comes to hearts, fasting is not a good idea.

Throw your heart into the center of life. Never withdraw it. Hug that heart of yours and love it as you have never loved it before. Think of what you are doing.

Imagine now that you take your heart in the palm of your hand and you toss your heart up to Me? You toss your heart high? It reaches Me, and I toss your heart back to you. We do this several times. Do you see how happy your heart is? How awake your heart is?

Now nestle your heart back where your heart belongs. You have given it new life. You have taken away imagined scars. Your heart is refreshed. You have a new-born heart. Take care of that heart of Ours. Love it. Love it beyond distraction. Savor that heart that beats in tandem with My pulse. Beat, beat, beat goes the pulse of My heart, and the beat stirs your heart. Love is signaled, and love arises in your heart. Your heart beats fervently. How else should a heart of God's beat?

Let your heart become a perpetual lover and no longer an aching heart. Aching is old-fashioned. It is out of step. Catch onto a faster beat now. Keep up with Me. Our hearts click. Our heart are in synchrony. Our hearts love. Our hearts love. Our hearts love. Rain or shine, Our hearts love. Our hearts beat love. Our hearts are the Pied Piper. All the children follow Our hearts, and this is where everyone belongs, deep deep in My heart.

Hearts never get lost in My heart. In My heart is where hearts are found.

Your life on Earth is founded on My heart. Your life on Earth is established in My heart. Your heart and My heart are One beating heart, One heart beating love, sending love out, heralding love, love thrown, and love caught, and love circulated round and round and back again and back again from where love began.

What nonsense is this to let a heart of Mine ache? Heal others' hearts, and heal your own. Life is for healing, not hurting. Life is for love, not awayness from love.

Your heart beats for Me, and never forget it. Never forget for Whom your heart beats.

HEAVEN #3975 How to Know God , October 13, 2011

God said:

Here's the thing. Whatever you do, you are doing in service to God. You might as well acknowledge this. Let this thought be the umbrella you carry with you. This is the umbrella you are under. You might as well know it.

Service to yourself is miniscule. Service to God is magnificent. Service to God is maximal. It is infinite.

It is not necessary to think of great things to do for Me. It is necessary to keep Me in mind so that everything you do is in service to Me.

Rather than seeking for grandness to do for Me, do everything for Me, every little thing. Remember Me in everything you do. Remember Me when you pick up a piece of paper from the street. Remember Me when you hang out clothes. Remember Me when you cook. Remember Me when you eat. Remember Me.

This is something very instrumental I am telling you.

I know you want to lead a great life and do great things, and I am telling you how. Whatever you do, do it for Me.

This one thought alone takes you out of your small self and opens you up to a grand esplanade where you can walk in joy. You do have a mission, and your mission is to walk with Me. This is how you serve. This is how you serve in magnitude. This is how you get onto the Grand Path.

This is how you get out of the little one-way lanes that are in service to no one probably except, perhaps, to the debt collector.

This one thought will take you far:

"All I do I do for God. All I do is for greater than myself. I am here on Earth for God, and it is God I serve. In every act, it is God I serve. I lay down my life for God. This means I live it fully, and I live it in honor and respect and love for God. I live life wholly. I recognize that I am everything to God, and so I follow Him, and so I deliver every act of mine. I am dedicated to God. I have left off dedication to myself. Therefore, I become bigger than myself. I become grander than myself. I become Myself. I become My Godself.

"I give up my service to I-know-not-what. I give up self-serving. I am not what I am here on Earth for. I am not here on Earth for my little self. My little self doesn't even know Who I am. I cannot squander myself on littleness any longer, and, yet, on Earth, I must littleness perform. As I sweep the sidewalk, now I sweep the sidewalk for the sake of God, for the sake of the Universe, for the sake of others, for the sake of making life on Earth better for others. That is how I make life on Earth better for me. Only by making Earth better for all do I serve God. So, in every little act of mine on Earth, I give it to God, and so I bless, and so I am blessed.

"If I want more of life, then I must give it. The more I am able to give is simply giving with awareness of God. All I have to do is to think of God and to think of serving God. God is My Mentor. God is My Love, and God is My service to Love.

"There is no other than God. There is no one else to serve. God alone is. As I come to know God in my service to Him, I come to know Myself."

HEAVEN #3974 The Ocean Deep, October 12, 2011

God said:

When you close your eyes, you keep distraction out.

Closing your eyes is a technique. Closing your eyes helps you to go within. For a while, when you close your eyes, the world is put on the back burner. Closing your eyes may elicit Silence.

The Silence is always there, you understand. You are never without the Silence from which you came. Yet your thoughts may scurry like mice across your mind, and you may forget the Silence. If you are scurrying, you may be sure that you have been forgetting the Silence that is yours. Silence is your undercurrent.

Silence is more than silence. It is depth, and in the depths of Silence, you soar. Silence is the Ocean. The waves are the world. From where does the world come but from the depth of the Ocean? Ocean is Ocean, and waves are waves. Waves are cut from the cloth of the Ocean. Without the Ocean, there would be no waves.

All is not as it seems. The world seems prime, and, yet, the world is an afterthought. It is a mere churning of the Ocean. Give credit to the Ocean and acknowledge that you swim in its waters. In this case, rather than keeping your head above water, dive to the depths and so ride the whale of life.

Life is made up of so much more than the precipices you come across. Life is so much more, and the world is a part. It is not the main draw. It is an auxiliary. Life is supreme, and the light of love is supreme.

In fact, there isn’t anything without love. There isn’t anything without the Ocean you sail on. The ship you sail on has a fore and an aft. The ship you describe is illusion.

Who can describe love, and yet love is true.

Who can describe God, and yet God is true.

You do not know how to describe yourself, and yet you are true. Beneath the surpluses, you are true. Beneath the ego, you are. On the surface, you are seemingly put together, yet it is the depths of you that matter. The matter matters to you, and yet the matter is not of the essence. It is a protracted string. It is not everything. It is not everything by a long shot.

Your heart and soul are everything. Your Being is everything. Our Being is everything. Oneness is everything. The extant world is not everything. It is only the surface. For every surface, there is a foundation. You, beloveds, are founded on love. Recall love, and never mind disturbance. Love is true, and disturbance is made of fluctuation.

That which fluctuates is not true. The Silence within is immovable, and you, the Truth of You, are invincible.

The surface of life is a skirmish. The depth of life is Silence. It is from Silence that you came. From Silence, you appeared. You walked out from an Ocean of Silence. Wherever you go, Silence goes with you. You may forget the Silence. You may walk on it, and yet Silence is the making of you. You cannot make Silence. You can only be it.

In the world, you stir the Silence. Without the Silence, there would be nothing for you to stir. No matter how you stir the depths of Silence, Silence is intact. Silence is a river that runs beneath all the perturbation. Perturbation is only perturbation. Silence, on the other hand, is Everything, and you are made of Silence, and so you are the river, and you are the Ocean Deep.

HEAVEN #3973 In the Cool Light of Day, October 11, 2011

God said:

You are not a volcano, and yet you erupt. You are not a roaring tide, and yet you roar. You are not a mistake, and yet you mistakes make. Anger is always a mistake. Listen to what I say. You are not right to erupt in anger. You are not right to hold anger in, nor are you right to be angry. Did you really think that anger is a good barometer?

Anger is a foreign object. Anger is a cowboy riding in from the past. Anger is a renegade. Anger does not belong to you. You are not meant to be a smokestack that fumes.

When you are angry, you are that puffed-up tempest in a teapot. Your sense of righteousness is a telltale sign of an inflagration. How honorable-seeming is your righteousness. You are on fire. Of course, you are right. You are always right. From your point of view, of course, you are conclusively right. Rightness is not the question. No matter how right you are, it is not worthy of you to erupt. It is not worthy of you to hold anger any more than it is to give it out. Let go of the idea that it is virtuous of you to be enraged with anger. You are not a stove to be lit.

Fires are to be put out. Pour the water of light on them. Go pound nails if you have to. Sooner or later that flash of anger will settle down.

In the cool light of day, you will settle down. Anger is not to be proud of. Ego loves to come in the guise of righteous anger. What a hero ego loves to appear as if rescuing you from unfairness, rescuing you from obscurity. Ego puts you in the limelight, and, at your expense, ego flourishes. Ego simply is not to your advantage.

Until you get your priorities right, you will have anger. You will keep its embers burning. Better to be as cool as a cucumber. Better to be far-seeing. When you are far-seeing, the cigarette butt of your anger will go out by itself.

Anger is not pretty. Did you think it was?

Have you feared that without anger, you wouldn't amount to much? Have you feared that without anger, you won't be noticed? Have you feared that without anger, you will be no more than mush?

In anger, you step on yourself. In anger, you put yourself down. In anger, you are not high in your estimation.

There is a rash of anger in the world, and all of it is self-righteous. Ego really likes to sport itself around town. Ego is a high-roller.

Anger is one of ego's guises. Ego doesn't care what it eggs you on to. Ego doesn't care if you get egg on your face. Ego doesn't care how much you lose. Ego cares that he triumphs. Ego whispers that someone is threatening you. Ego whispers that someone is walking all over you. Your very own ego whispers, "Fight," in your ear. Ego is your opponent. He whom you see as your opponent is just another guy trying to make his way in the world. His ego may be feeding on him as well, and so, your two egos fight it out, and you are both left on the mat at the count of ten.

Anger is folly. Even when you have won an argument, you have lost. You have lost your senses.

Be one-pointed about other things more worthwhile than anger. Surely something is worth more than vindication you seek through anger. May you follow goodness and mercy all the days of your life.
