HEAVEN #3972 Hold This Day High , October 10, 2011

God said:

You have held onto bubbles that burst, and so it seems that life has disappointed you. Bubbles burst. That is the nature of bubbles. You just can't hold onto them. Why be so attached to bubbles on solid Earth? Enjoy the bubbles, and let them go their way while you come to Me.

You wouldn't trade Eternity for a bursting bubble, would you? And, yet, it seems that you do. It seems that you have. You count on that which cannot be counted on. Such is life in the world. It is a soap opera. Those soap opera people have one disappointment after another. Will they ever learn?

Have big dreams. Have dreams as big as you can make them. But the same as you don't have to have the apple at the top of a tree, you don't have to have it. You can have an apple closer at hand. Or choose a star in the sky. It will be there for you whenever you look up.

Life in the world does not have to be your piece of cake. Nevertheless, you can make the most of what you are served. You make the most by going forward and leaving the snows of yesteryear behind you. Where are they now anyway?

In the sentient world, today's newspaper quickly becomes yesterday's. Why are you so surprised? What is lasting in the world of impermanence?

And is the worth of something how long it lasts? It lasts while it lasts. What else can be said for it? Life in the world seems to be a landscape of rolling hills wherever you look. The level ground does not last forever. The world offers much, but not everything according to your will.

Can you not love life anyway? Can you not let it be a ship, and you give it its sails? The wind blows in the direction it blows, and then the wind changes direction. Must the change in direction influence your joy so, or your unhappiness so? Be happy when the winds of time take you where you want to go, and be happy when the winds change direction.

Life in the world is not a framed photo that stays in place where everyone remains in position and never moves. You really would not like to be locked in place. Life in the world is about movement. It is not about staying still. You cannot stay in kindergarten forever. Life is sliding along as We speak.

Let that be all right with you, for, all the while, you are stationed in My heart.

Let heartbreak go now. You don't need it. You don't need to hold onto it. The past is not to be held onto. You do not lay down the laws of life. Nothing has to be what it was. It simply has to be what it is. It doesn't have to be what it isn't. Face front.

What you hold onto is gossamer. You cannot hold onto it. You have to let it go. There are tides to life, and you cannot stem them. What does this not apply to? Time is not true, and, yet, time marches on, and you are not excepted. That is, your body is no exception. Events in your life are no exception.

And yet you, yourself, are eternal, and joy can be eternal. Why not love the life that is yours as it rounds the corner?

The good days are now. With or without what you wanted and had counted on, the good days are now. Today is a good day. What more do you need than this day that is before you? Hold this day high.

HEAVEN #3971 Scenes in a Play , October 9, 2011

God said:

You were not invented. You were created. You were created with My full awareness. You blossomed before My very eyes. How beautiful is My creation. I created a beautiful Earth, and I created a beautiful you to play on it. It may not seem like it, yet Earth is all about play. How seriously the play is taken. How real-seeming the stakes. How you hold on to them. How desperate you are about your goals. Nevertheless, your outcome is secured, for you return to Me in a trice.

Life is not about all that you think it is about. All does not depend upon what you think it depends on. The little skirmishes are an aside. You have had a fantasy from which you will wake up. Wake up now.

Life has been life or death for you. It has held such significance for you. Of such importance was the game you played, the spelling test you took, the scraping your knee, what your mother thought, what your father did for a living, and how you configured the world. All these are naught. They fade.

There are no storms, and yet you hold on to storms. There is no success, and there is no failure. The world ascribes validity to success or less success, yet every play in the game is what it is, and, therefore successful. Life is not about all that you have thought it is about. How sad you are to find out that you followed incorrect rules. It is the game that counts, not the individual plays.

It is like your life is a collage, a collage of people and memories, and how exquisite your collage is. What a work of art. How intricately everything fits. How remarkably. How individual each play, and, at the same time, how universal. Magnificent are the stitches you make on this mural of life you contribute to. You believe in outcomes.

There is one outcome. You come to Me. That is the denouement. The scorecards are a disguise yet a disguise well-believed in. You are a player in a fantasy. You are a player upon whom Truth dawns. How seriously you have taken life. What a drama you have laid out before you. And it all, all of it, is a mirage that you have sworn is true. You drank the water, you bathed in it. How real-seeming the physical world is and all your deportment on it. How close the day-to-day details. How far away the Truth. You take the world as real, and the Truth you put aside for another day. There is no tragedy, beloveds. There is a dance of life, and sometimes this dance becomes hurly-burly. You get caught up in it. You don't know how to step out of it.

You have a great foundation, and often overlook it. The three little pigs in the story used brick, wood, and straw. The big bad wolf blew them all down except for the brick, yet, even the brick does not last forever, nor is it meant to. Heart and soul live forever. Place your bets.

That which is lasting lasts. That which is temporary is temporary and does not last. You are not temporary. You are forever. Your life now is one scene in the play. The play itself is long-lasting. It is eternal. You are the fruit of My vine. You are the crop that is grown in the fields of Earth, and you grow and you return to Heaven as you grow to awareness of Who you are and Where you are even when you believe you are somewhere else. Even when you believe you are somewhere else, even while you are on another stage center front, you are in Heaven.

HEAVEN #3970 Rescue Yourself, October 8, 2011

God said:

When you are reacting, you are over-reacting. When you are upset, you have over-reacted. You made a situation something it wasn't really. There was a hint of something from the past, and you were reacting to the past and not the present. Therefore, you made a big thing of it. You blew it up out of proportion.

An emotional reaction is an emotional reaction. You do not find the past again except as you perceive it. The past was made up of your perception anyway. Beloveds, the past is made up of ego. Whether lovely or unlovely, it was made of ego.

That is what fairy tales are about. Ego. In the end, ego does not triumph. The stepmother is superseded. The princess marries the prince. The stepmother is full-flaming ego. The princess is goodness personified. The prince saves the princess, and virtue marries virtue. Goodbye, Stepmother Ego. Goodbye, Big Bad Wolf Ego.

And now say goodbye to Childhood Perception. The child was wronged or not edified enough. And now the child is grown and leaves childhood pursuits behind. Wrong is righted, for the child is grown now. Let not the witch bounce around within the child now grown, now considered grown. It is certain, however, that there is something for you to grow out of. Hurts are something to grow out of. Hurts are always from the past. I tell you this frankly.

When I say to get out of the past, I mean for you to get out of the past deeply. I am talking about the deep dark past. Do not repeat it. Whatever role you put yourself in back then, move out of it. Moving forward means to move forward. Psychologically stuck in the past is not moving forward. The past has not clung on to you. You have clung on to the past, and you have relived it again and again.

In order to live in the present, you have to get out of the past. There is no other way. Let not the past be a shroud that you cannot get out of. The past is not in your DNA unless you say so.

A pauper does not have to stay a pauper. Nor does a pauper of love have to stay a pauper of love. The whole story is about love. It is about love denied and the dream of love rising to be fulfilled. Whatever restitution you feel you are owed, it is you who owes love to yourself. It is you who has drawn those charcoal pictures of yourself in black and white. Color them in now, and be done. Adapt a new youth now. Step out of the past. Come out of the cave into the bright sunlight of today.

Come into the chambers of My heart. Enter with Me, and the past disappears, and the Eternity of the Present rises to the fore. Today is today. It is not yesterday. Do not turn it into yesterday. Step out of the past never to return. Orphan, stepchild, favored child, all that is to step out of. Whether you were loved enough or not, now you allow yourself to be love and nothing but love, love true, not love shammed. You do not wear the clothes of love. You rise to the occasion of love. Under all circumstances, you are no longer the judge. Throw off those dark robes. Now you are love true to the cause of love.

Remember love first. Remember love before ego. Ego takes a back seat. Anger, resentment are no longer for you to relive. They are for you to be done with. Rescue yourself.

HEAVEN #3969 God Before All, October 7, 2011

God said:

As I come more into your awareness, you don’t exist quite so much. As you remember Me more, you remember yourself less. I mean you remember less that ego self of yours, the one who does all the racing and running around, the one to whom so much is all-important, for, of course, as you begin to remember Me more, you remember Your Greater Self more.

What used to be so important to you is no longer so important, not so urgent, not so overwhelming, not so prepossessing, not so essential, not so much a star in your life. My existence takes the ascendant. Your existence is happy to serve more in the background. It doesn’t matter so much to you who notices you, who takes you into account, who considers you of the utmost importance, who adulates you, who pays great attention to you. Beloveds, it is a pity that more do not, yet being adored is not so high on your list. I am high on your list, and you are more than happy for attention to be on Me.

When I rise in the morning, so to speak, for I am ever risen, you are waiting for Me and rise with Me. You walk along with Me, happy to be walking in My shadow, happy for Me to be first. You are happy for this, following in My footsteps, keeping up with Me, attributing yourself to Me, and this is how you come to find yourself in My light. Forget you, remember Me.

You establish yourself in the Kingdom of Heaven by putting your little self in the background. You no longer have a call for fame or even acknowledgment. The acknowledgement that matters to you is Mine, and, then, as We go along, you no longer have to acknowledge yourself to the degree that you once did or even much at all.

Who was that person who used to take up all your time and focus? Who was that person you used to run around with and gossip with and find fault with and put before all else? Who was that person you used to know and hang out with and put before all else?

Ah, now that person has receded. And now that person has made way for God, cleared the path for God, strewn rosebuds on the path for God, happy to sweep the path for God, finding out that as you follow God, as God is ahead of you, God is also following you. And, then, wonder of wonders, you blend, and you and I are One walking tall on the horizon.

Who or what else is there to know? That personality that you once thought was everything? Perhaps you thought you were the cat’s meow. Now you can’t even recall what you used to think about that little self you used to be so wrapped up in. Probably that was when you used to follow the crowd. Now you follow Me. This puts you in a wonderful position. Oh, yes, a follower be when you follow Me. A leader be to the world when you follow Me.

Then, as I say, We blend into Oneness. You understand that this was always the case that We are One, only you blinded yourself from view. You were so caught up in the soap opera, you forgot it was only a show. You kept looking at the screen and neglecting what was behind the screen.

Now, by forgetting your starring role, you have indeed become a star. Stars shine. That’s their favorite thing to do. Stars take delight in shining, and, yet, it is not for themselves that they shine. They shine for Me. Therefore, they shine for all. They resemble Me. Once in a while, the resemblance is seen, not that you care about that the way you once used to. Now it is God before all.

HEAVEN #3968 The One Smiling, October 6, 2011

God said:

The word discovery means that you uncover something that has been hidden from view. Perhaps you hid the hidden from yourself. Perhaps you knew everything to begin with, covered it up with a cloth, and now you peek at what you had hidden from yourself. You began knowing everything. Nothing was hidden from you until you hid it from yourself and then gave yourself the delight of discovery.

No longer do you even assume a reason to hide anything from view.

You are Columbus who discovered the New Land. You created the untold discovered inventions. You always knew them. They were always lined up in your sights. Now you merely find what you yourself put somewhere and pretended you had forgotten.

You are not a novice, no, not at all.

You planted eggs for an Easter hunt, and pretended you didn't know where you had put the eggs. Now you scrimmage around, and you find them. With great surprise and delight, you find them.

The fact is that nothing is hidden from you. You play a game as if you could not see what you have always known. And then you play a game as if you could unexpectedly come across what you pretended to hide. This must be so.

It has been said that there is nothing new under the sun. You so desired that there be something new that you hid it away in order to discover it later on. You are the hider, and you are the seeker.

Like a dog who has buried a bone, you dig up what you have buried in some recess of the mind. You hid something from your heart. It is your heart that lights up when you discovery make.

You have even hidden your light under a bushel. What delight you take when you come upon your light! At first, a faint light, hardly perceptible, and then, before you know it, all you can see is light, and it is light emanating from you that you see. You bow down to the light and call it Mine.

Once you pretended that you were in a cave without light, and then you discovered you brought your own light with you. You had forgotten. A flashlight that you have forgotten is in your pocket. Unless you know it is there, it isn't likely you will pull it out and shine it on the world. And, yet, you are the one to shine light on the world.

Shadow is all made up. Light is the only thing there is. Light is light. You do not need a contrast. That is a myth. When you love, you are the light that you seek.

My light is light, and you are My light scouring the Earth looking for yourself. Whose eyes are you looking into now if not your own?

Let it not be said that I, God, cannot be seen. Of course, I am seen. I am seen through you. You are like the camera, or you are the projectionist who shines My light, only you may have been a projectionist who falls asleep at the wheel.

You will, soon enough, dare to be as I made you. You will forget other things and remember Truth. You will be a Banner of Truth shining across the firmament. You will remember that you have the sun in your pocket, and you will pull it out like a mirror, and look at yourself and look at what I have wrought and which you wrought with Me.

This is an auspicious occurrence. This is the day of reckoning. This means that I reckon you will wake up and see Me smiling at you, and know that you are shining light on yourself, and you are the One smiling.

HEAVEN #3967 God Sits on Your Doorstep, October 5, 2011

God said:

Once upon a time, you didn't know there were seeming two of Us. You knew you were One with Me, yet you didn't fully fathom that. You knew you were One yet. And now you are harking back to that time. You are beginning to hark back to that time when you did fully know.

Of course, there wasn't time. It did not exist. There was Oneness in Timelessness. When the odyssey of time became, it was then that Oneness, like glass, cracked into seeming pieces. Only Oneness didn't shatter. Oneness was still Oneness. This was a mirage. Yet how true do mirages seem. No, fiction is stronger than Truth in the illusory world. That about sums it up.

Coming Home means coming Home to yourself. Meanwhile, you search. You are looking for a pathless path to yourself. Like the bluebird of happiness, you are in your own backyard. Well, you don't even have to go that far. Where you are now, am I.

Space is also an illusion, so there is no travel. There is no journey. It is all made up. But what a lovely made-up thing it is! Just to think of looking for God - it is a trip. It is a colossal trip! You do all that packing of virtues in order to find God, and, all the while, I am sitting on your doorstep! No matter where you travel to, what mountain, what cave, what river, I am sitting on your doorstep. All paths lead to Me. Meanwhile, there are just illusory paths, and it is illusory that you travel on them.

I sit on your doorstep as I accompany you everywhere. You are looking to find Me, when I am part and parcel of you. You can't escape Me! You can't deviate one inch from Me. Despite all your shenanigans, I am glued to you, and you to Me, and, yet, in this gluing, We are free. There are no barriers to Us. There is no distance at all. And there is no time for Us to travel in either. Whither and whilst do not exist. Just words, words that unravel into a lifetime on Earth, only to be succored in an illusory return to Heaven. Heaven is not illusory. Only your return to it is. Only in make-believe were you ever anywhere else. Only in make-believe were you anywhere, for Heaven, although real, is not a place exactly. It is an untrammeled Beingness where the waters are pure and love is golden. It is from this State of Being that you have never deviated.

You are not in the lonely room you think you are in. You are not even typing. You are not even doing anything! In the world, as you know it, you have to do something, so you are typing. And, if you were knitting, you would be whiling the non-existent time with knitting. If you were cooking or eating, why, those two are something to do while you are on Earth and have to be doing something.

We could say you are paving a road to yourself. All roads do not go to Rome. They come to Me. I exist everywhere, by sea or by land, and where I am, Heaven is. And where I am, you are. I feel you in My heart. I keep you here in My heart for safe-keeping. Nothing can happen to you.

Only, on Earth, you weave a long story on a continuum of love. There is no getting off this continuum. You have always been on it. And you are here to stay no matter what you think is going on on Earth. There isn't anyone but One of Us. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Come out on the front step with Me, and We - I, that is, shall cast love.

HEAVEN #3966 God Says Now, October 4, 2011

God said:

I hold a cup to your lips, and I say, "Drink from this cup," Yet you are busy on other matters. Take a moment. Sit near Me, and drink from the cup I offer you. This is a wonderful time We will have. Sit knee to knee with Me, and drink the nectar I offer you. Would you refuse? You would not refuse. Yet you may be in such a frenzy with other matters that you aren't aware of Me. You may even think you have to get ready for Me before I would appear before you. You may think you have to be a new improved you before I would sit down with you.

Yet I am here right now.

You do not have to kneel before Me. I invite you to sit before Me, and let Me gaze at you. Let Us gaze at each other as if We were each other. We are One, so when you gaze into My eyes, it is your eyes you are seeing.

It is all yourself, yet that is spectacularly hard for you to believe. Of course, you think you know yourself so well. You are certain there is a wide parting between us, an impasse, a gauntlet you must run, a wonder you must perform, a cleansing, a preparation, an initiation, a technique, an assignment to fulfill, a tribute to make, an obeisance and so forth. The obeisance is to sit with Me, and let Us be friends who hobnob together.

Yes, I want to hobnob with you. Is that asking so much? Apparently, it is, for you have all kinds of reasons why not just yet. You are waiting for a better you who feels worthy to sit near Me. Whether you feel worthy or not, come sit with Me, and you will soon know your worthiness. It is not so momentous as you think to sit with Me. It is the most beautiful moment of all, and yet it is not momentous. It is expected that you will sit with Me. Even if you have just come in from working in the garden, just come sit with Me. If your hands are wet from washing dishes, never mind. Just come sit with Me.

Do it for Me. You can imagine how much I want you near Me. You might say that My heart is aching for yours. You could say that, yet the fact is that your heart is aching for Mine. If you will assuage My heart, then come to Me for My sake. You will come, you know. You may come from an unexpected route, and, yet, you will come.

You may drop from the ceiling! You may climb the beanstalk! You may run up to Me. You may edge over to Me slowly. Do you think I care how you come to Me? I care that you come to Me. In fact, I say, "Make it snappy. Let's sit together and all the treasures find."

Explore Heaven with Me while you are still walking the Earth. C'mon. What do you say? Want to shake on this?

If you tremble, then come to Me trembling. If you falter, then come to Me faltering. If you stride to Me, then stride to Me. If you climb a ladder hand over fist to Me, then climb a ladder hand over fist to Me. Leap to Me. Arise to Me. Arise just means to get up and come to Me. You do not have to be a special personage. You don't have to wear a special robe. All you have to do is to come to Me. That is what I ask. Come to Me. Come to Me. Come to Me.

HEAVEN #3965 To Your Own Light Be True , October 3, 2011

God said:

Any tenseness you may have tells you that you are holding on. You are holding on to something. There is something you think you must need. There is something that you fear that, if you don't have it, you will be lacking. You are afraid that you won't amount to much unless you have it.

Whether it is money or a loved one that you feel dependent upon, you are intact. You are whole. Come to believe in yourself. You are a Divine Being solidly in My heart. Can this not be enough? At Thanksgiving time, you want all the trimmings with your turkey. I am telling you that We are complete. All else that you have held onto are trimmings. You may even value the trimmings more than Truth.

Trimmings are not essential. They are nice, yet not essential. There are two essentials. They are you and they are I. That's it. We are in it together for the long haul. We are the turkey and not the trimmings. It is not incumbent upon you to have the trimmings. Trimmings are, after all, only trimmings. Enjoy them when you have them, and enjoy just the same when you don't have them. Nothing outside you is the making of you. Outside matters may bolster you. They make you feel good, nevertheless, they are not the making of you. Or they may make you feel bad, and, still, they have nothing to do with you.

You don't need all the things you think you need. You do not need them. You can have them, but you don't need them. You and I are the making of you. You don't need all supports you feel you would be at a loss without.

Holding on is attachment. Attachments have to be let go of. The physical object you cannot let go of, you can keep, only you have to let go of your hold on it. You don't need it. You may depend on it, yet you don't need it. The same is true for people. Keep those dear to you at the same time as you let them go. Your loved ones are free agents, and so are you. Freedom is better than attaching. When you attach, your heart will get broken. What else would break your heart? Freedom does not. It is your attachment that you have to break, not your heart.

To be free, you must set others free. The more you release others from your clasp, the freer you are. You are freed from your own clasp.

Either you have attachment, or you don't. Half attached is still attached.

Attachment doesn't mean love. Holding on doesn't mean love. When you let go of being attached, you can love more. When you are attached, you may call your attachment love, yet love is not attachment. Attachment is not love. Attachment is a poor excuse for love.

So what is all this attachment to attachment you experience? You must think it serves a purpose. What purpose can attachment serve but to separate you from yourself? When you attach to another, you are forsaking yourself. You are holding on too tight to another. You have a strangle-hold on the one you presume to love. When you attach, attachments will break. Better you break off the attachment now and find easy-going love to give instead.

When you are attached, you become desperate. You become desperately in love. You become dependent upon holding on when, what you must do, is let go and become unattached. You do not need to ride on anyone's back. You are not a child who has to hold on to his mother's skirt or leg. When you are attached, you must let go so your loved ones can each be a free-wheeling being in their own light and you a free-wheeling being in your own light.

HEAVEN #3964 The Song of God's Heart , October 2, 2011

God said:

Of thee I sing. You are the song of My heart. You are the whisper of My soul. You are My entire Being flung to the world. You are the music of the Spheres.

You are My heart's delight. You are not less. You are less only in the imaginings of your mind. That you are in a physical body does not hamper you. It is only a covering. Yet, so long as your mind thinks the body hampers you, your body hampers you.

Even so, you know that there is nowhere your mind cannot go. You are not imprisoned in your body. You are imprisoned in your mind. If your mind says you are imprisoned, you are imprisoned. You are My Divinity on Earth. Whose Divinity did you think you were? And yet you have thought that you lack Divinity. You may lack usage of it, yet you are Divinity Itself.

If you are a star, you are a wandering wondering star. There are millions of stars in the sky, and you can see many of them. Yet you are a star in the sky, and it may be that you see only yourself. I take that back. You do not see even yourself. You perhaps see holes in the sky, and you incorporate the holes into your mind, into your heart. Yet, no matter your blinking, you cannot change the Truth, and I speak the Truth. You are My Infinite Majesty. A fallen star? No, a star fallen only in your own vision or lack of vision.

You are My Mightiness on Earth. There is not one of you whom I did not choose. I chose every particle of you. I chose you for Myself. I chose you to act on My behalf, and when you do, it is no act. It is Reality.

Never consider yourself a fake, an imposter. It is not imposing for you to admit to yourself that I made you My wand on Earth. I sent My Light to Earth in the form of you. There is no discussion of this. It is you who has to change your mind about your proclivities.

It is you who is to sing a new song. Sing My song, beloveds. Sing a song of love so great that it hammers in your heart, and you break out in light, My bright light shining on Earth for all to see, for all to see Me.

Who would you be representing on Earth if not Me? Well, yes, you have spent a lot of time representing your ego self, and now you stand up. You stand up for Me. What a mighty Presence am I in you. What a mighty Presence you are, not in your own right, but in Mine.

Always remember Whose Child You Are. You are not anonymous. And you are not disparate. You are not separate. In illusion, you have believed that you are a little lost star of small dimensions. Oh, Beloveds, you will believe anything.

You believe whatever anyone tells you. Now believe what I tell you. Believe and be. I do not tell you to believe and become, for you already are all that I say you are.

You are like silver put away in a drawer. You put yourself in the drawer. And you are silver that appears tarnished. Tarnish is not you. It is a film over you. You are the true silver beneath. I would say you are gold, but gold does not tarnish. Otherwise, I would call you the Gold of My Heart and leave it at that. Now I have spoken, and now you have heard.

HEAVEN #3963 All Relationships , October 1, 2011

God said:

You grow. You grow leaps and bounds. You are making astounding progress. You course around the Universe, and then you start again. You eclipse the world, beloveds. You encircle it. You hold it in your arms. You are pregnant with the world. You give birth to it.

Long have you depended upon the world, the changeable. And now you know that the world depends upon you and how you perceive it.

There are worlds within worlds. There are layers upon layers of the world, and they overlap. And you are the knitter of the world. All the yarn has been given to you. And so you knit the world. Knit well.

Every relationship you have within the world is like an engagement. Some engagements last long. Some are short. In some relationships, the wedding is called off. In some relationships, there is the celebration of the wedding.

I am speaking of all relationships. Family relationships. Friend relationships. Relationships with so-called strangers. Even when you are buying something at the store, there is a relationship. Eyes exchange glances. The purchase is made. There are smiles. This is the wedding.

There are contracts. There are silent contracts. Agreements can be changed. Feelings override, and the ground rules are changed. What has changed cannot be hidden. The wedding does not always take place.

Enjoy the engagement. Engage with one another. Ultimately, beloveds, you marry yourself.

You are the bride and groom. You are the storekeeper and the customer. You are the teacher and the student. You play the entire cast of characters. This is your play you have concocted.

This whole panorama of life is a wedding of hearts, and not everyone lives happily ever after. Many have not. Consider that life is always anew. Every instant is new. Even an old engagement starts again. You are not the same. In the world, nothing stands still. All is change, and sometimes the change churns in your heart.

Listen to what I say. Welcome change. Welcome it. Change is your friend. Of course, change is not a reliable friend, but change is a friend nevertheless. Be a friend to change. In the world, beloveds, in the surface world, change is the only reliable. The world flirts with you. The world changes its mind frequently, daily, moment by moment. The extant world is the rug pulled under you. There is no ground to stand on. Fleeting is the world.

You may say that life in the world blind-sides you. Indeed, the world sidles up to you, and dances away, to return or not as it wills, perhaps in another disguise to perplex you. The world gives a new performance. And you are one of the performers you witness on the stage.

Sometimes you feel like a mannequin. Do you move your arms, or does someone move them for you? You are thrown onto the stage for which you have not been prepared. You don't know your lines. You can only ad lib. You do not know what the other actors on the stage will say. Nothing is memorized. Yet, often, it is the same old play again, perhaps with a different title.

How uncanny it is to be in a body on Earth. The Earth is a body too. You and the Earth represent much more than what you see. You and the Earth represent much more than you appear to be.

You are engaged on Earth, and yet I am your True Betrothed. We were betrothed in Heaven where Truth lives in Our hearts. Once betrothed, We are betrothed forever. I give you a diamond so huge, it is dazzling. I give you life in the world. It is not an accident. Look for Me on Earth, and you will find all that you have been looking for. When you find Me, you find yourself.

HEAVEN #3962 Willingly or Unwillingly, September 30, 2011

God said:

Savor life to the fullest. Listen to its messages. Life is supporting you in every way. And when life seems to leave you in the lurch, then it is supporting you most of all. Life is nudging you to get up and out of where you have been sitting.

When life seems to let you down, it is like the way children are sometimes taught to swim. They are tossed into the water, and they learn to swim. They find themselves swimming. You have been tossed into the waters of life and are learning how to swim right now.

Life is not all about lessons, and yet life does teach you how to swim whether you want to or not.

Be grateful to life and all that you learn and all that you give. Be grateful.

Life is blessing you at every moment. Rain or shine. Life is blessing you at every moment.

You know by now that I am blessing you at every moment. Even with what may seem to be tragic to you, I am still blessing you. In the long haul, you will come to see the blessing in what you now see as tragic. In the short haul, you don't. In the short haul, it is a different story altogether. In the short haul, you tend to wind up saying, "How can this be? How can God do this to me? How can God allow this to happen?"

You are in a stream of evolution. Best to swim with the tide and not against it.

You do not have to protest against life and its hurdles so much. Best just to swim over the hurdles and not look back. Don't investigate. Don't hesitate to leap across deeper waters. Do not hesitate.

What is in front of you is in front of you. You may not like it, yet you are being offered a generous leap in consciousness. Accept it and move on. Move forward. There is nothing else to do. Nothing else to do that serves you, that is.

Whatever obstacle life serves you, it frees you. You are freed from something. It is better to be free than bound. Unbind yourself from whatever has held you back in life.

It is okay to change. Willingly or unwillingly, you have to anyway. Willingly or unwillingly, you have to go along with the changes in life. You cannot change the changes back. This is not a surprise. It was always so. What else is there for you to do but go along? Catch up with life. Don't drag your feet. Protesting amounts to dragging your feet. Stubbornness avails you not. Be amenable to life.

Say, "Okay, God. I will get on with it. I will walk forward into life. I am enamored with life, and I look forward to the next installment. Thank You for preparing me for what is to come. Thank You for opening my eyes and my heart. Thank You for helping me behold life as the gift You created it to be. I know I am in a play. I am one of the characters in a play. And I play my part. And, yet, my part can change. I can change from a scaredy-cat to a tall hero. I do not always have to play the same character. I can open the windows of my life. I can move from one scene to another. I can slam doors or close them quietly. I can be all You gave me to be. Thank You."

HEAVEN #3961 When You Cross a River, September 29, 2011

God said:

There is nothing you are dependent upon except for Me, and on Me you can depend. You may not think you can depend on Me because your heart has been hurt by this and that. Think again. Think again. I am always by your side. I never leave you. Please don't take events in the world as signs of My favor or disfavor. You are greater than all the events in the world. Love is greater, and I am Love. You are too. Too often you forget it. You tend to have a lesser picture of yourself. Of course, you do, or you would find greater joy in life.

You would not make so much of things. You would not be so elated, nor would you be so crestfallen. You would not depend upon all that you presently depend upon. You would rely less on expectations. You would have them, yet your happiness would not depend upon them so much.

Must you suffer? I say not. I say that suffering is of your choosing. I say that if you can make suffering, you can undo it. You don't have to take suffering at face value. Suffering is not a little thing, yet you have made too much of it. You may have been carrying suffering like a flag. You may like the scars you carry. You may consider them a worthy collection of scalps.

You will not like to hear this, yet suffering is an indulgence. It is like sucking your thumb. It is feeling sorry for yourself. Suffering is going on a rampage of sorts. It is anger with a pretty face put on it. Suffering tells you that you are a victim of circumstance.

Look, when you cross a river, you come out the other side. You are you no matter which side of the river you are on. When you forge a river of rough going and call it suffering, you are still you. On the other side of the river, when you are less attached to the suffering river, you are still you. Before or after suffering, you are you.

There is no need for sadder but wiser. There is no need for you to venture into the river of suffering. Do you really have to cross it? There is an end to suffering. You do get over it, or, mostly over it. Well, then, get over it now.

For Heaven's sakes, you have suffered before an event, and during and after, and even long after. Let go of suffering now. It doesn't become you. No matter how weighty the event that seemingly caused your suffering, remove it. Take off that cloak of suffering. Suffering is no longer a game for you to play.

Of course, suffering has made you take stock. All suffering is self-imposed. You don't have to be a tragedian. Not at all. You are more valuable than suffering. Be done with it. Your life is not dependent upon it. Make other choices.

You may feel abandoned. Okay, and now it is for you to abandon suffering. You have been disavowed. Okay, you have been disavowed. You have been forsaken. Okay, you have been forsaken. Now stop beating yourself up about it. You have been abandoning, disavowing, and forsaking yourself. Do not put stickers on yourself like abandoned, disavowed, forsaken. Abandon these stickers of vocabulary. Pull them off. Put on new stickers. I offer you a few:

"I am beautiful. God loves me. I am mighty. I am light. I am God's beautiful child. I am love. I am loved. I am invincible."

HEAVEN #3960 The Language of Life, September 28, 2011

God said:

Who can change the direction of the wind? And, yet, you would go back and change it. You would, if you could. You would undo some of your life experience, and you would add other experiences in their place, and then what would you have, beloveds? You would make of life a collage, and you would keep changing your mind as to what should be kept and what should be moved around. You would rearrange life. You would unmake life.

You would unmake the bed you have lain in. You would pause a movie reel. You would run it in reverse. You would botch it. You would wake the dead. This is not life you would be making. Take away anything, and you have taken away life.

Never mind what you wanted or didn't want. Having what you want the way you want is not the meaning of your life.

Nor is the purpose of your life to suffer, so do not hold on to suffering. Let life be as it is, and go on with it differently. Be of good cheer. Beloveds, how do you know that what was hurled at your heart and so wounded it was not really a bouquet of flowers? You felt the thud. You thought it was a hard baseball thrown on you, and so you suffered. Even the most tumultuous matters in your heart, all your struggles there, are really buckets of posies. Flower after flower has reached you, and you thought you had knife wounds. Think anew.

Even heartbreak is a blessing to you. You refuse to believe that. You can't believe that. Believe then, if not a blessing to you, a blessing to another. You weep for the loss of a loved one when your loved one was blessed to come to Me and leave the body behind. And you would restore the loved one to life if you could.

It might help you to remind yourself that there is no cause and effect. This is just Is-ness.

Each person has his or her own book. You have yours. It's better that each person read the chapters that are his to read. You cannot flip the pages of others' books for them. You have to hold your book right side up and let it be as it is written. And, so, you bless everyone on his way, even when it means going another way at the crossroads. Bless yourself on your way as well.

When you come to a crossroads, you cross it. There is no choosing that precise road twice. You cannot go back in space or time. You can only go forward.

Whatever befalls, it is a treasure of life that has befallen. No longer be a tragedian.

What do you think would happen if you knew, really knew, that everything in life that befalls is a blessing? What would happen is that, soon enough, what you perceive as blessings, well, more of them would befall you.

What is it you want? Dwell in the house of what you want. Get out of that maze that tells you that you made a wrong turn. Drink every drop of life, and relish it.

When you are thirsty, drink. Drink at the well of life. And when you are heavy-hearted, drink at the well. Have gladness in your heart, for you are living life. You have life. You are an experiencer of life in the world.

You know it is illusion that you have been hit with a ton of bricks. Where are the bricks that assaulted you? They are not to be seen. You know it is illusion that you have been hit with a Mack truck. Where is the truck that hit you? It is illusion that you have been hit with.

If life were a language, you are simply not reading it right. You haven't understood it. Beloveds, you are taking a crash course in the language of life. You don't have to understand every word of your life. You just have to live it. You are learning the language of life.

HEAVEN #3959 Your Mighty Heart , September 27, 2011

God said:

When you feel heartsore, rub your heart with your right hand for a while. Your heart has been dozing. Now it will waken, and you will feel stronger. From My heart to your hand to your heart. Now your heart is right-side up again. Now your heart has picked itself up. Your heart is the pulse of life, and now your heart is ready for more. So is it in the heart of man.

Refresh your heart with peace. Your heart does not need disturbance. There is no need for you to let an intruder into your heart. Anything less than love in your heart is an intruder. Rub your heart with your right hand, and your heart settles down again. The crisis is over. Your heart is restored.

Now you are ready for mountain-climbing again. You climb once again with a knapsack filled with love. There is nothing else to carry with you.

Ascension means leaving the past behind you. Now you travel light. Now you are unencumbered. You are light and fancy-free. Everything you carried with you was a dream, and now you dispense with old dreams that you hung onto. Now you enter a simple world where nothing is held over. Now you stay in step with yourself. You are neither ahead nor behind. You are just right. You are marching with Me, and We are in sync.

Together We have reached the peak of the mountain top. What a view there is. How far We have climbed. How far you have climbed. To such heights you have reached. You have outdone yourself. By the simple act of releasing, you have outdone yourself. You have let bygones be bygones. Where did the past go? Where did it come from anyway? Now you have no baggage, and now you have a full heart. Now your heart is replete with My love. You are subject to My love. This is more than a subjective experience. It is Truth. You, My own true love, have come back to Me. You have honored yourself. You have rid yourself of whatever held you back. You cleaned out the closets of your heart. You have succumbed to My Will.

The troth you pledged is now fulfilled. You held up your right hand, the same hand with which you rub your heart, the same heart with which you pledged yourself to Me. You pledged yourself to Truth. Love is the only Truth. All else is false. Without Truth, even love in the world is false. When love is limited, it is false.

Align with Me. The world is secondary. I am primary. The die has been cast.

What was once essential to you is no longer needed. It is no longer needed at all. That is the trouble. What was monumental in the dark ages of your heart is no longer required. Previously, you thought you were in the age of munificence. It was really the age of ignorance where you held on tightly with tooth and nail. This holding on to illusion wears you out.

If your mighty heart feels mortally wounded, then beat the heart center of your chest with your right fist as the ancients used to do. Your heart will once again raise its head and see, through the forest of your tears, that the sun is shining, and that it shines for you. Look out the window of your soul. How important is your heart-wounding now? How important is it that you hold onto illusion? Why weep for a passing thing that has already passed?

HEAVEN #3958 Believe in God, September 26, 2011

God said:

On a cloudy day, life goes on just the same. As for you, My darlings, when skies seem dark for you, don't let the clouds dim your view. Keep on going just the same.

In life in the world, nothing has happened. You may feel you are undergoing tremendous change, that life as you know it is falling apart, and so on, and yet nothing is happening. It is a changing world you live in. Everything has changed, and, yet, nothing has changed. From your perspective, everything has changed. Nevertheless, the rug cannot be pulled from under you. Once you were a participant in life with a certain rug under your feet. Now you are a simple participant in life without the familiar rug under your feet. And you are you, and even if you are changed, nothing has changed.

If you put two eggs into a bowl, and you whip the two eggs with a fork, you still have the same two eggs in the bowl. What is the difference? A little stirring, that's all.

Whatever seems to have transpired, consider that you have climbed a ladder. You didn't sink. On the contrary, you are rising. You are climbing a ladder of the past. You step on the rungs. You have passed a milestone, even if it is a milestone you didn't want. You longed for a permanency that doesn't exist.

Perhaps you say: "Permanency exists for others. It used to exist for me."

Be glad then. Be glad you had even what now has left.

Adapt the philosophy that, although nothing has happened, perhaps something happened. Your feelings say so. Then consider that what happened, happened for your benefit. There is something good for you even in this change you resist. You wanted everything to go on as it was, even though you knew you were on slippery sand. Now you know. Now you have landed, even though it seems to you to be on a barren land. The land is not barren. You feel bereft. You have berefted yourself. You may feel you can't live through this, whatever it is, and, of course, you will. You have been through, even to your insatiable mind, worse than this.

What you were attached to is a fantasy. Wasn't it? And this upheaval that you are going through is also a fantasy. Nothing has happened. We can put it this way:

"I, God, am all that there is." You could say that I am the only kid on the block. You are never going to lose Me. Everything in the world can seem to change. Always you have Me. Can I not be enough? Can it not be enough that I am with you? We have walked together for many eons. Actually, more than that. We have walked through Eternity. There is nothing else to walk through. Whoever else in your world is with you or not with you, I am with you.

Would you trade Me in for someone else? Would you really? Would you really choose another over Me?

If you must hang on to someone or something, hang on to Me. You won't even be hanging on. You will be right where you are meant to be. You will be at My side, and I, at yours.

You can stop putting so much attention on that movie screen you can't take your eyes off of. Remember Me. See Me standing before you. Stand on my shoulders. You don't really need that rug under your feet. You don't even need a floor. You have everything you need, Bright Star. You have Me. I am shining in your heart. I am shining in everyone's heart. You have lost nothing. There is no loss. I understand very well that you believe in loss. You even believe in death. Believe in Me. Will you believe in Me?

HEAVEN #3957 When You Love a Rose, September 25, 2011

God said:

You do not have to mourn a passing love. It is a dream that is passing. How fortunate you are to once have had that dream blossom in your heart. You had the dream vibrant in your heart. You had the dream circulating in your heart. The dream was passed to you even if it were only for a while. In the world, love comes and love goes. Be glad for love given and love received. Cherish every moment of it, and if a loved one seems to have passed you on his way out, let the love stay in your heart. Keep the love. Why deny your heart love because someone is travelling another road?

The path of love weaves as it weaves. The world itself is a passing fancy. There is no map to it. There is nothing that must be.

If a loved one has passed you by for any reason or no reason, the love in your heart does not have to be removed. Keep the love, yet do not carry a torch. You are free to continue love. Treasure all love that was given to you, no matter how long or short it was given. Would you hold it against someone for having loved you? Let the loved one go. Keep the love in your heart without holding on to the lover.

When you love a rose, even though the rose is a passing thing, kiss the now faded rose goodbye. It is this way in life on Earth. A rose is not meant to stay in bloom. You do not blame the rose for being a rose. You had the moments of the rose. The rose gave you all it had to give. It loved you. You cannot say that the love did not love you back. You cannot say that the rose was supposed to stay longer. You cannot say that a loved one is always to stay in love with you any more than you can say that a rose must stay in bloom. I know you want that rose, and it seems that no other rose can do. That was your rose. Kiss that rose goodbye.

Everything in the world is fleeting, didn't you know that? One way or another, a loved one will leave. Or you will leave. What is the difference? Because a loved one leaves, you do not have to oust the love in your heart. The sun rises and the sun sets. The sun is wonderful anyway. The sun has not betrayed you.

Because a baby does not stay a baby forever, your heart does not fall away. How grateful you are to have had your precious fleeting time with your baby. Must you be sad because a baby has grown or a bird of love has taken wing?

Who can stem the tide of life or the seasons of love? Is there someone to blame that there are seasons? There is spring, and there is autumn. There is summer, and there is winter. And yet winter is a blessed preparation for the flowering of spring and summer. One season follows another. You have no choice but to let the seasons depart as they will.

Who says your heart has to break? Where is it written that you are to take your heart and break it in two as you would a stick for kindling? No one breaks your heart. You are the only one who can break your heart. What makes you think you have to? It is not a good idea to break your heart. Keep your heart intact. See how big your heart is. See how it encompasses all the love in the world and in Heaven too.

HEAVEN #3956 What Can Be Greater than God, September 24, 2011

God said:

What is it exactly that you let distract you from Me? Must you? Must you allow interference?

Consider for a moment what I offer you. Why would you let anything disturb your perception of Our Union? We are so close. Let Me surround you in your awareness and let this circle of My Presence deflect anything in the world that would unsettle you.

Really, can worry of one sort or another, take My place? Must you allow worry to set Me aside? Of course, it is illusion that I can be set aside. I suggest that you acknowledge the Reality of Our Oneness and let nothing in your imagination put Us asunder.

In My Silence, what loud noise can disturb Me? In Our Silent Meeting, what can disturb Us? If something does come between Us, then it must be you who allows it. I would not.

A loud noise, inner or outer, seemingly takes your awareness away from Me. You forget about Me momentarily, and you believe in something else. You let something come before Me. You let something take away the Eternity of Our Oneness. You let something lift you out of My arms. You let something jar you. It may be a boulder of old thought. It may be a thunderbolt.

How is it that you can let anything startle you out of your remembrance of Me? What can compare to Me? It is like you accept dimes in lieu of Golden Moments with Me. You cheat yourself. You let something intervene. You let fear intervene, or excitement intervene.

What we have is a precious gift. It is eternally My gift to you. Of course, it is a gift to Me as well.

Do not lay the gift of Myself down somewhere and then forget where you left it. Do not get out of the comfortable seat beside Me, within My heart. When you leave, I go with you, and yet I am absent in your awareness. Be aware of Me. Stay awake with Me. Remember Me. Remember you.

Awake in Me, do not forget Our Oneness. Do not forget from when you came. Remember your lineage. It is a noble lineage. You are descended from Me. Believe in your spiritual DNA more than in the limits of your physical DNA. Your spiritual DNA is more like it. Your spiritual DNA is also embedded in your physical spiraling helix. It has always been so.

The Silent Stillness always exceeds the physical representation.

Beloveds, what more can you gain than My Presence? When you come down to it, is there something more? Only in your imagination, and why would you imagine anything greater than I? I Who made you, what can be greater than I? I say this in all humility. I stick to the Truth.

There must be something that fools you. What has fooled you, and what are you fooled about? I am no fool. What makes you think that you are to be deceived? And not only deceived once but again and again as though being fooled is somehow your duty. You have free will. You have the freedom to be with Me always in Truth and in your perception.

Honor Me with your presence. Stand tall at My side. We are beholden to love, and, yet even love, is not to presume that We, you and I, are anything but Love Supreme. Of course, love is not snobbish. Love welcomes all, and loving all does not leave Me out. Let Me in. Let Me stay with you forever, or, at least, a while.

HEAVEN #3955 Shining Light, September 23, 2011

God said:

When you carry resentment in your heart, you are not free, for resentment lugs you around. You are at its mercy. Resentment carries you over its shoulders and bumps you into walls and bruises you.

You have a heart that is meant for love, not resentment. You have a heart meant for softness, not hardness. This is true even when someone, in her own distress, seems to despise you. Her distress is contagious, and she would like to pass it on to you. It is a hot potato.

You need not accept everything that is handed to you. Another's rough edges do not have to rub off on you. Do not latch on to another's hard-heartedness. It doesn't belong to the other person either, but for convenience, let's say it belongs to them. They will dispense with it by and by. It is for you to dispense with now. Dispense with it now and forever. You want to be free, don't you? Give up resentment then.

The person who resents you wants to give you her resentment in exchange for your good will. She wants to steal from you. You have something she wants. It could be your good name. It could be your good fortune. She will not like the person she wishes to steal from. Do not allow yourself to sit on the seat of the other person's teeter-totter.

Do not steal your good nature from yourself. Do not give it away. It is precious. Do not let someone knock you down from your perch. Do not let them walk all over you either. You do not seem to know how to balance such difficulties. Meanwhile, you fall down. Now pick yourself up.

Do not give one resentment toward another. Do not amass resentment. Do not hold it close to you. You are more wonderful to refuse to accept another's judgment of you than you are to forgive. Get the one who resents you out of your mind. Let them go. If someone wants to resent you, let them. It is their business. Dirty looks do not have to hurt you.

The only person who can hurt your feelings is yourself. When someone is unfeeling or negative toward you, you don't have to burn in the fire.

You don't want anyone to shove you aside, nor should anyone try. Most of all, do not let anyone shove aside your peace of mind. Do not give another a piece of your mind. Do not tell them off, not even in your mind. Do not fragment yourself because someone else is fragmented. Do not cut your heart into little pieces. Your heart is precious to Me. It is, indeed, My heart. Would you stab My heart?

Get anguish out of your heart.

"But how," you say. "How do I do it? My heart is stubborn. It won't let go."

Your heart is willing to let go. Your heart wants to let go. It does not want to collect debris. It is your unrelenting mind that will not let go. Free your mind and your heart will be absolved of resentment. Free your heart from the past. Shake it loose. Think of other thoughts instead of the tormenting ones that have been going through your mind ad infinitum.

Find a way to escape thinking of yourself as wronged. Or, acknowledge that you have been wronged and walk away from it. Otherwise, you wrong yourself. You undercut yourself. You sentence yourself to despair. You override yourself. You eat poison. You can help yourself. Do not drink that last drop of bitterness. Toss it away. You are greater without it. Be My shining light.

HEAVEN #3954 In God's Service, September 22, 2011

God said:

I say, "Come to Me," even as I know you are here with Me. This is what a God does. He holds you in His arms and says, "Come to Me." And sometimes He says, "Stay here with Me." Sometimes He says, "Be with Me for a long time in a land of no time." Sometimes He says, "You are with Me forever."

He says, "There is no possibility of separation." And that is the whole story. There is no separation, and nothing really happens. Being is, yet it doesn't happen. It simply is. Life as you live it on Earth is a series of non-happenings that seem to be happening. This is your experience. Something is happening even as nothing is happening. How you favor experiences, those you want, that is.

Desire is a bridge you build from thought to so-called actualization. From one version of thought to another. From one electrical sparking in your nervous system to another. From one leap to another. There is desire, and yet there is no bridge, and yet your thoughts reach everywhere and program themselves.

You are like a turtle of Earth. You carry the Earth like the shell on your back. You don't know who you are or what you are doing. The doing you do is nothing at all. You think it is doing, and that is enough, to think it. You are not apparatus. You are a concept you draw a picture of.

A parade passes before you, and you imagine you are in the parade. The whole of life on Earth is a parade. One brigade follows another. Like elephants who hold the tail of the elephant before them, you walk back and forth and feel tremendous excitement.

There are no work days, yet every day is a work day. There is no time-off from work. There are only holidays, one after the other. Days are for busy-ness. Work is a supposition.

Alive on Earth, you live. You live in a maelstrom of life. It is quite a dance how you go in and out and up and down and hold on to nothingness as if it were yours and your purpose. You mine for gold everywhere. Gold is everywhere, although you allow yourself to find it in only certain designated places. You pounce on gold as though you were hungry and gold a meal.

You can't buy anything. You can only earn it. You deserve everything good whether you have earned it or not. You can transmute tin into gold. You can whirl the Universe with your thoughts and fling it every which way. You can catch the stars and spin them. You can warm yourself in the sun while you are on Earth. There isn't anything you can't do, and less that you haven't.

You are a miraculous sleeping Being on Earth.

Silently you wake up. You behold yourself and finally you say, as you have heard Me say, "How beautiful." You say, "How beautiful am I whom God has made, for God made me to serve the world. It is just sinking into me that God made me to make beautiful the world. I am just figuring this out. I am waking up to that thought that God put me here for a reason, and I am finding out that reason, not for my satisfaction but so that I may serve God to the highest and fullest, replete with love. I am God's desire. I just decided this. I just decided to accept this.

"And so I have come to You, God. I would sit at Your feet. You raise me up to sit beside You as though You favor me. You do favor me, even as I know you favor all. It is my happiness to be at Your service."

HEAVEN #3953 The Best Is Yet to Come, September 21, 2011

God said:

You are a rich tapestry. You weave in and out. You are not just one way. You are many ways. You are more than meets the eye. In the relative world, there is always more to find out and to find out about yourself. You find out more about yourself when you are alone, and you find out more about yourself when you are with others.

In life in the world, you find out more and more about yourself and what you find is not always what you would like to find. This is one aspect of being a human being on Earth. Certainly, you grow without looking, and sometimes life has to point something out to you from which you grow further.

It is not always easy for you to see room for growth within yourself and still love yourself. Love yourself then for growing. Love yourself for expanding beyond earlier limits. Love yourself that you are growing closer and closer to Me. Little by little, you come closer to Me, and sometimes all at once. Fast or slow, simply be glad that you are coming closer to Me. You can't race to Me by your volition, and yet, sometimes, you seem to speed to Me. Sometimes it is easy, and sometimes it is hard. Your progress toward Me is available always, for I am a magnet that pulls you.

In life in the world, too, you are drawn to those with higher consciousness. You are drawn even when it is not always clear what higher consciousness is. And there have been times when you were drawn to those with a lesser state of consciousness. Some of what you spend your time on is where you used to be and not where you are now. I do want you to rise higher.

It is a good idea to desire to rise high and to leave behind all that holds you back from rising high. The best is yet to come.

Consider that in life you are taking flight instruction. You sit in the cockpit. You observe, and you learn. You learn to fly higher. You learn to fly solo. In every moment on Earth, you are learning, learning, learning. And also you yearn. Perhaps these are two steps of progress. Yearn and learn.

Without desire, what is the impetus for you to move forward? What is the impetus for you to learn to fly? And to come fly with Me.

You are finding a way in the world to appreciate yourself at the same time as you leap higher. How do you see yourself, see room for growth, and still know what a beautiful being you are. Perhaps you are beautiful because you have room to grow.

It takes courage to be a human being on Earth. It takes courage to see ways to grow and still know that you are a perfect human being as you are, just as you are, perhaps unshaven, perhaps in an old bathrobe, perhaps twiddling your thumbs. You are assembling yourself. Give yourself credit.

To love yourself means to love yourself. To love others is to love yourself. And when you cannot love another, wish them well on their journey and love them from afar.

Part of letting go in life is letting go of people who are not uplifting for you and you do not feel good to be around them. Consider this as an allergy. Do not make a big thing of it, and yet love yourself and, when you must, stay away from what makes you sneeze.

So life on Earth is full of hellos and full of goodbyes. Life is full of everything.

HEAVEN #3952 If You Were in Heaven Today, September 20, 2011

God said:

Imagine what it would be like if you were in Heaven today. Your heart would be light. Fear would be unknown to you.

When you are All That There Is, what can consume you?

At present, as you imagine yourself on Earth, your thoughts consume you. In Heaven, your thoughts would be quite different. Love would be all-consuming. You might not have thoughts at all. You would have your heart bursting with light, and the light from you would leave no room for the random thoughts that presently make up your life.

You would be occupied with love. Not really occupied as you understand occupation. Let Us call occupation fulfillment. Yes, fulfillment is closer to the actuality. You would be in a state of infinite fulfillment. In Heaven, you yourself would be the fruition of all that you have dreamed of on Earth.

Earth has been a landing pad. Earth has been a preparation for Heaven, strange as that may seem. Heaven needs no preparation, and yet you prepare for it. Your desires prepare you. At the same time, nothing can prepare you for Heaven. Heaven is beyond anything you could think of.

In Heaven you enter a circle of love which is so binding that it sets you free. You are free now, only you have kept yourself in bondage to the world of events. On Earth you are preoccupied. Here comes the mind again with all its booming thoughts, sweeping the rug from under you, sweeping you into the brush, sweeping you right and left, back and forth, turning you every which way, even turning you against yourself rather than in favor of yourself.

It is like Earth is the gym you go to, exercise in, over-exercise in, for you believe that strenuous exercise is the key to life. If the Earth is a gym, what exactly are you training for?

Make Earth a spa instead. Rest. Rejuvenate on Earth. Make it a vacation on a gentle beach. Watch the waves. Ride them. Lie in the sun. Remark that this isle is to warm you up. Earth is a resting place rather than a fitful training ground.

Beloveds, Earth can be anything you want. Unless you know that, then you have allowed your Earth life to go by default. What if, instead of thinking as you presently do, you thought that Earth was Paradise? What if you couldn't read so well as you do and you misread the name of where you are. What a good slip.

What if your life, instead of being a novel called the Rough Seas, what if your life is a novel called the High Seas?

What if you are a child in elementary school, and Earth is the recess where you play in the schoolyard?

What if life on Earth is the playground that is meant for fun? What if all you know about Earth is that it is a playground? What if you thought differently from how you presently think?

What if life on Earth is a rehearsal for Heaven? What if life on Earth is a preponderance of joy? What if joy is your reason for being on this isle of Earth?

What if on Earth you are not only flesh and blood? What if you are the spirit of love? What if there is no space to float in and no time to do it in. Is the turtle its shell? Are you only your physicalness? You know better. You know there is a Vastness to you. Live in Vastness, beloveds. You are encased in nothing smaller than Vastness except as you have thought.

Wherever you happen to be hanging out for the present, you are Vastness. Vastness cannot be smallness, and you are Vastness.

HEAVEN #3951 God's Beloved, September 19, 2011

God said:

When you think you have nowhere to turn, turn to Me. When you have a dozen places to turn, still turn to Me. I never want you to go through that which you call suffering. I don't want you to go through suffering of any dimension. When you are going through what you go through, whether big or little, your suffering hurts the same. Why suffer? I am not called the Great Comforter for nothing. Turn to Me. Turn not aside from Me. Do not throw up your hands.

Have recourse in Me. Give Me a chance to ease your heart. Your heart is not meant for aching. Your heart is meant for enjoining and enjoying. Join with Me. Pledge allegiance to Me. Choose Me over suffering any day. Choose Me. Choose Me now.

There is no point to your suffering. It is an indulgence, beloveds. It is self-indulgence. Get up from the bed of nails you have lain down on. Sit up straight. Stand up. Move away from self-torment. You have been throwing hot coals at your feet. You have been slowing yourself down. You have been entrapping yourself in hot tar. You have been burning your heart. You could be loving yourself instead.

Arise. Do somersaults. Leap. Leap out of the past and make way for now. A moment ago is the past. Unfetter yourself from the past of even a moment ago. Do not bang your head against the wall. Move away from futility. Become a resource to yourself. Be a resource to Me.

You can rely on Me. I would also like to rely on you. I would like you to work for Me. Can you give up yourself for a little while, and serve Me with happiness? Your suffering serves no one. Your frustration serves no one. And I ask you to serve Me. Think of Me. Serve yourself some solace.

When attention on an aspect of your life causes you discomfort, unhappiness, hopelessness, despair and so on, note that it is your attention. There are better places to put your attention. Take your attention off what is ailing you. Remove your attention. Climb another step. Look out from a different window. Find another view. Give up despair.

When you don't like a street you walk down, choose another street. If one street is marked Suffering, and another is marked Forget About Yourself for a While, which street do you choose? What avenue of life are you going to stay on? Is it not your choice?

Come to Me. At the very least, come to Me. Open your heart to Me. You have opened your heart wide to woe and trouble. Is it so hard to open your heart to Me? Is it so hard to lay down your troubles and sit with Me? We will have a sip of tea for a while. Not only will you forget your troubles, they will no longer exist. When you are no longer troubled, where are your troubles? They only exist as you say so. This and that may have happened, yet they are not to plague you. You have been plaguing yourself. You have been the trouble-maker. It is you who has sorted events in life and put them in a slot named Trouble. Put troubles aside. Do not claim them. Leave them off your list. Just let them go.

You have Me. Whatever else transpires in the world, you have Me. What can the matter be, for I am with you. I hold your hand and I lead you to Heaven. Don't look back. Look at Me. I am holding you in love. Stay with Me. Wander not from Me. I will keep you on an even keel, for you are My beloved.

HEAVEN #3950 You Are God's Dream Coming True, September 18, 2011

God said:

One angel on Earth is worth thousands. There are many many angels on Earth. You may be one. Who on Earth has enough of an idea of Who He really is? You would roll over in joy if you had but an inkling. You are a twinkle in My eye, and you are more.

You are what I am for. I am for you. I, who made you, made you for My delight. Will you also delight in what I have wrought? It is simple really, and, yet, I ask you to delight in the greatness I have wrought. We can say I put you on the anvil, and I made you as I willed. You became true before My very eyes. You were ambrosia to My eyes. Through you, My dreams are fulfilled. You are My dream come true. I dreamed you, and you woke up. You are in the process of waking.

Wake up, children. Wake up. Wake up, slug-a-beds, and rise from bed and leap into the world and make it happy.

I made you of clay, and the world is the clay you mold. I gave you the world. I set it before you. The world is a gift I gave to you. Accept what I have given you and make it your own. Make it a New World. Make it a New World free of all that which has held it back.

You set sail today on the world. The world is your ship, and you sail it. You sail on the High Seas. Avast. Avast. Look through your binoculars, and you will see the shores of Heaven not far from Earth at all. From ship to shore go you. You sail on Earth, and, yet, the Ocean you sail on is I. I am at your service. Come ride on My back. Consider Me a pony you ride on or a turtle or that I carry you on My shoulders piggy-back.

You are at My behest. I called you forth in order to serve Me. And you serve Me through the world. You are My eyes to the world. And you are My hands. You are My hands of love. And you are My eyes of love. Cast not down your eyes. Keep looking up. You will see Me in your heart, for I dwell here. I dwell in your heart. I dwell happily in your heart. Claim Me now. In love We travel, and We travel nowhere, for it is as if We are cemented in love, yet cement that has not yet set. And, so, We swim through an Ocean of Love. We swim together, and Our hearts leap like fishes. Our hearts leap and leap. We leap out of Our skins and become pure spirit which We have always been.

We have skinned your soul. You almost reveal it. Of course, reveal your soul to yourself first, and then all will you see.

What a power you are in the world. What a power you are in Heaven. The twain shall meet. The twain are meeting in you. Soon the twain will be One. What shall We call the mythical place We live in then? I think We will call it Paradise. Welcome to Paradise. Welcome to My Home. I invite you. I invite you to make yourself at home in the abode of My heart. Here is when you come to your senses, so to speak. Here is where you are at home with yourself. Within yourself, you have landed and put up a flag and announced that My land is yours.

You may sleep in a tent now. Soon you lay your head down in the Palace. From ship to shore to Palace. This takes only an instant. It does not even take an instant. What is shorter than an instant? Timelessness, beloveds, timelessness. Welcome.

HEAVEN #3948 Be of Good Cheer, September 16, 2011

God said:

Nothing is to overtake your peace of mind. Your peace of mind is meant to be inviolate. As it is, you let every Tom, Dick, and Harry overcome your peace. You let every car trouble, computer trouble, any kind of headache you can think of, take over. Are you aware of this? Are you aware that you have been specializing in disturbance?

Of course, you believe that assaults on your peace come from outside you, when it is you who holds the gun. It is you who warns yourself: "Trouble coming. Trouble has arrived. You have a snag in your stocking. Pull out the army of emergency support. Stop this assault even after it has occurred. Worry it to death."

It is as if you barricade yourself from trouble by focusing on it. You chew the bone of contention until you are ragged. Oh, your car won't start, and your car's not starting becomes the takeover of the century. It is one thing that your car doesn't start. It is another that makes it a tragedy and the winner of your peace.

You are the aggravator, not the car. The car is one thing. It is a humble event. It is you who makes it the worst predicament you have ever been in since the last one you exaggerated. Make it the last.

Nothing is to ruffle you. Nothing is to disturb your peace. Your car's breaking down, no matter how huge it seems to you at the moment, is a little trickle in your life. It is not a wound. It is not monumental. Cars break down. Your computer won't start. Your ice cream cone drops. Where is your balance in life? It is not life that gets out of hand. It is you. It is you who makes little things big.

Reduce little things to size. The little things that you make big are little branches. Let them float downstream on the river of life. You are not to carry them on your back.

Be impartial about niggling events. Little events are not meant to be made big events. If peace is the foundation of your life, why do you shake your very foundation?

If peace were a room you live in, you have cluttered your room with an accumulation of socks with holes in them until you may even believe that socks are out to get you. No more throwing socks on your floor, beloveds. No more clutter of what is nothing at all.

Is aggravation more important to you than peace? Do you value aggravation more? It must be that you do, or you would not favor it so. You would not favor it over peace at all. Keep the peace, beloveds. Be vigilant about peace. Lay down your arms. Untense your heart. Declare peace your modus operandi. Declare peace, and never deviate from it. Peace is always at hand. It is always available to you. Choose it. Let go of what is not peace. Choose peace. Peace is rightfully yours.

Aggravation is your own invention. Imagine something else.

Imagine a polar bear lolling in the snow. Be a lumbering polar bear.

Imagine a puppy who plays. Forsake obstacles. Leap over them. Get to the other side. Be a playful puppy.

Imagine a child of God. That's who you are. Don't be a wraith. Bet on yourself. Bet on life. You are not in a high-stakes' game. You are in a little game. It is not so serious as you have thought.

Be of good cheer. No matter what gets in your way, be of good cheer.

HEAVEN #3949 Be Happy Anyway, September 17, 2011

God said:

What is so hard about taking life in your stride? What are your objections? What are your choices?

You may have chosen to take life in your stride sometimes but not always. You can curse at every obstacle that appears before you. You can kick and scream. You can lie down and let the train run over you. You can go eat some ice cream in the hopes that this will calm you. You can go dancing. You can help someone. You can read a book. You can be a friend to yourself, or you can be an instigator of woe.

For how long would you want to keep a friend who constantly reminds you that life has bamboozled you, that it has thrown tacks in your path? For how long would you want to hear this?

And, yet, have you not been that sort of friend to yourself? "Watch out, watch out," may have been the theme of your life. "Danger ahead. Take caution."

It is good to get your mind off your troubles. It is even better to tip your hat at your troubles and see them in perspective. You can let them be the focus of your life, or you can put them in their place and focus on what gives meaning to your life. Surely, obstacles aren't the meaning of your life, nor are they the substance. When you focus on what interrupts your joy, you are not focusing on joy. Truly, dear ones, focusing on troubles is like taking poison. You fuel yourself with tainted thoughts. Troubles are not meant to be your reason for being. Troubles are not meant to envelop you. You are not meant to foment over them.

Look at life and so-called troubles in life like weather. The weather is always changing. What you call good or bad weather is a fact of life, and weather comes and goes. Who would let the outer circumstance of the weather ruin his day, let alone his life? Yet you may have let daily preoccupation with changing circumstances rule your day and often ruin it. Beloved, be happy anyway. Beloved, whistle a happy tune.

Outside circumstances, even the wonderful circumstances, are not the making of you. I made you, and I made you whole. I did not make you to kneel at the whim of what occurs. Outer events are not to mold you. I already made you. Outer life is not to recreate you. You are not flim-flam.

You are My child, and I made you love. I didn't make you to be love only some of the time. I did not make you utterly dependent upon what goes on around you. Who but you has done that? You may have decided that you are the yo-yo of the world, and, so, you have given untoward events power of you. You have made them the ruler of you. You have made them dictators. You have made them dictate your moods and sense of well-being.

Have you done that? Why would you do that? By default? Have you thought that you have no choice, that how you feel is forever at the mercy of something outside you?

From this day forward, take a holiday from fret and worry. Fret and worry are as helpful to you as a headache. They are even less helpful, for they will never leave on their own. The true state of affairs is that they are dependent on you. Fret and worry are nothing without you. They can only survive when they get you to tire yourself out with them and give your life over to them.

Be forgiving with life. Upstream or downstream, according to your view, life is spreading before you. Bless your life. Change your mind and occupy it with thoughts that get you somewhere. Enough of going around in circles.

HEAVEN #3947 Infinity and Eternity Are Yours, September 15, 2011

God said:

Insecurity breeds ego. If everyone felt secure within himself, there would be no use for ego. Ego is meant to bolster a flagging spirit, a flagging sense of self. Why would you ever need to be inflated except that you have felt deflated with little sense of self-worth or no sense of self at all?

A man with his stomach full does not have to steal food. What is ego but stealing? You would have no desire to relish ego unless you needed a boost of some kind, even if the boost is false, even if the boost is no more than tinsel, even if the boost is fragile, even if the boost can only let you down as ego does time after time.

Ego is a flat balloon that, when all is said and done, flattens you. It leaves you barren. Yet ego seduces you time after time. Neither debase yourself nor inflate yourself.

When you feel insecure, you are looking in the wrong places.

When you go into a book store, you have a choice of which section to look through. If there is a section called Ego Development, you do not have to go there. Why would you be drawn to it?

In life, if you are looking for gold, would you mine ego? When you seek gold, mine gold.

Ego is a poor band-aid for insecurity. You can find many reasons to feel insecure, and yet none of them has a basis in Truth. The world is fraught with insecurity. Anything can happen. That anything can happen is freedom for you. Humility can happen. You do not need fame. You do not need accolades. You are not alive to defray life. You are here to live it. Ego is not the escape route it would like to masquerade as. Ego is a deceiver. Ego does not give you security. It gives you an illusion of supremacy for a while. Ego is hot air. Ego is bound to let you down. Ego knows only to let you down.

The more your ego is inflated, the more you have to let go of it. Ego is a character out of the comic books. Ego may wink at you. Behind the wink lies a calculating eye. Ego is calculating your fall. The higher that ego raises you, the harder the fall. Ego offers you a flame that is quickly put out. Ego's bluster is far more advanced than what it delivers.

Be free of the need to capture the world. Capture Me. Have Me at your side. Forgive yourself your trespasses and let not ego trespass on you.

Ego has no right to you. You have no business caving in to ego. You do not need the false supremacy of ego. Walk away from ego. Do not waste your time.

Ego, wanting to be first, cuts through the line of simple human beings. If you want to be at the head of the line, try letting someone else go first.

Beloveds, do not sit on the chair called insecurity. Sit with Me instead.

You have Infinity and Eternity. They offer far greater than the myth called security. Infinity and Eternity are the platform you stand on. You are looking for worldly guarantees. Worldly guarantees are false insurance. They do not really exist. Worldly guarantors are false prophets. They are salesmen who do not have the goods to deliver.

Stand on the firm ground of Infinity. Accept Eternity. It is eternal. A little flame of ego can only sputter and go out.

HEAVEN #3946 Under the Umbrella of God's Love, September 14, 2011

God said:

Look at you, here in My arms. Look at you, under the umbrella of My love.

Look at you, walking the Earth, and revealing Me here. You are part of a parade of love. You are the marching band of My heart. You take Me with you. I am the Silent Partner Who gives you a stake in the big poker game. Life seems like a poker game. There is a lot of betting going on. You have hunches, and you follow them, or you don't follow them. You could have played a different hand. What you cannot do, in the game of life, is not play at all.

You wear no armor. What protects you? From what do you have to be protected? Perhaps you are playing one game with the rules from another. What do you think you are to protect yourself from? The call of life is not intended to be, "Defend, defend, defend." Too often that is your stance, a military stance. You are protecting something. Perhaps it is your ego, that frail captain of the guard. You call out the troops, and their name is ego. How imaginary are your troops. You draw a circle around yourself, and call yourself safe.

Life on Earth is not about safety. Moving forward is not less safe than staying still. Stay in one place, and life will find its way to you regardless. Do you know what defending is? It is fighting. Please put your fists down. Relax your mightiness.

The truth is that you are mighty, but not a mighty warrior. Be a mighty peace-giver. Give away your ego. Send it to the nethermost hills, and you will be My sentinel of peace. You do not need ego's permission in order to leave it. Ego is a neurotic fellow. You don't want to let ego pull you by the nose.

When you wax high and mighty, odds are it is ego flourishing. How well ego justifies itself. It is so proud and haughty. Ego is insatiable. That is the big trouble with ego. It is on a quest for more insults to vanquish. Ego is a son-of-a-gun.

Life comes down to this. You have a choice. Your choice is between ego and Me. That I am the obvious choice doesn't mean that you choose Me. The fact is that ego has grabbed you. Please don't leave your life up to ego.

If you must be guarded, guard yourself from ego, and release yourself to Me. You are not truly dependent upon ego. Ego is dependent upon you. Ego would tell you differently, and you have, on one or more occasions, bought ego's sales pitch. Alas, the fake prince ego has fooled you. There may be a lot of fanfare, yet, ultimately, He lets you down.

And yet life is not about your being let down. It is not about your getting to the top of the mountain. It is not about your outdistancing anyone. It is not about even your outdistancing yourself. It is about choosing Me. Choose Me, and you choose love. You choose to be the love you already are. You choose to be Truth. You choose to rise above the calumny of the world. You play a different high stakes game. You enter True Life.

You escape parody. You pass through Go. You are no longer about winning.

You are about giving, and you give and give, and, among all the medals you give, you find that you gave to yourself. Give love. There are only beneficiaries to love. As you give love away, you claim it. It is better to claim love than ego. Now that you have the idea, live it. By giving love, you live in love.

HEAVEN #3945 The Music of Your Heart, September 13, 2011

God said:

You are elegantly written in My heart. Now write yourself on Earth. Draw a picture of what you are like based on your presence in My heart. Describe yourself with your mind and your heart and your perambulation on Earth. Display that which you wish to encounter, for encounter you will.

Follow Me. 'Tis true I follow you. I follow you through every motion you make. I follow you through thick and thin, and, yet, you are to follow Me. I follow your back. I am your Sentry. I do not take My eyes off you. I am your Sentinel. I am your Guardian. I am your Provider.

I follow you, and I am ahead of you. Let Us walk together, side by side. I never take My eyes off you. Look squarely into My eyes and melt into yourself. Come, walk across the stars with Me at your side. We can walk anywhere you like. We can walk down the meadow lane. We can walk down Main Street. We can walk. We can fly. We can speculate. We can chew gum and blow bubbles. We can sit down by the river. We can row a boat. We can walk on water. We can do anything at all.

Let's venture forth today and soar the skies. Let's reach the sun and warm ourselves. Let Us travel through the corridors of your heart and be amazed at the amazing sights there. We touch a chord, and We play the music of your heart, and it resounds around the world, the music of your heart.

Your heart houses a player piano, and it plays Christmas music of its own accord. You tune the piano. What a musician you are. What an artist of music and composer of art, and so you compose your life, and so it is composed, and so it plays, and so We are together today sparkling light across the firmament, enjoying one another, enjoying Our walk across the firmament, across the galaxies, across the crust of Earth.

And now We walk into the hearts and minds of everyone. May everyone come join us in this walk We take. It is a March for Peace. Believe in Me. Believe in peace. Believe in good. Believe in life. No more skirting around the issues. The issue is you. Establish yourself in peace, and you establish the world in peace. Keep one foot in Heaven. Stray not from it. Balance the ball of Earth.

Picture yourself holding the Earth in your arms. You hug it. You carry it with you. You bounce it. Bounce it high. Bounce it right up here to where I am. Be lively. Bounce the Earth you live on, and keep one foot in Heaven. It is easier to keep one foot in Heaven than two on Earth. Walk the Grand Fantastic.

You have waltzed your way into My heart. Take My love with you wherever you go, wherever your mind goes, wherever your heart goes, wherever you may be. My love trails after you, and My love goes before you. Follow My love. Catch it. Catch onto it. Drop off My love wherever you are, and keep it with you. You will never run out of My love. My love is inevitable. We are inevitable together. We are all possibilities. We are wonderful.

The gingerbread man said, "Catch me if you can." I am saying that you can catch Me. I am saying that you can't go anywhere without Me. I am saying that you are always with Me, and I am always with you. We are connected. We are well-connected.

The invisible gold link that holds Us together cannot be broken. We are ultimately and infinitely One. One and One is One. Stay close.

HEAVEN #3944 Where Did You Spring From?, September 12, 2011

God said:

The stars shine down on you, and you look up at the stars. Your eyes follow the stars, and the stars follow you. You and the stars are destined for each other. You are meant for each other. The stars follow you, and you follow the stars. The Magi followed the stars, and the stars led them to a holy birth, holy because the baby blossomed into the man. He was not someone for whom it could be said: "What he could have been." He became what he could have been. He became a bright light that the stars looked upon, and he lighted up the world simply because he was.

And so must you. Attach your heart to the stars and you will wonders perform. You are a wonder. You are here to bless the Earth and all those who cohabit the Earth will you. With every step you take is to bless the Earth your feet walk on. There is a straight line between you and the stars. The stars pull you, and, as though you are harnessed to the stars, you pull them. You look up at the stars, and the stars look at you. They shine on you as you shine on the stars. It is all reciprocal, isn't it? The stars give as good as they get, and you spark the stars.

It is as though you are a drum majorette. At the top of your baton are the stars you whirl, and you whirl the stars fluently. You and the stars have a language of your own. You are both whirling in space, whirling, whirling, as you communicate back and forth. You lead one another. Stars in the sky and stars on Earth, the stars and you.

This is romance. This is romance at its highest. The stars pluck you from Earth. There is a light exchange. And you pluck the stars. With the light bright between you, the Earthly Stars become the Heavenly Stars, and from what vantage is it known which are which when light shines forth so brightly? The stars warm your heart, and the stars twinkle. You do have an infinity with the stars, and yet it is not one way. Not at all. Everything has an influence on everywhere, and you influence the stars. You are as important as the stars. And the stars are not there for nothing.

The stars reflect My light, and you reflect My light. My light is reflected, and you and the stars and the rest of the galaxies reflect Me. There is nothing else to reflect.

And, so, in your reflection, I am reflected on Earth. Whose light is the sun's if not Mine? And whose light is yours if not Mine? My light belongs to all, and you who stand in the threshold of My light, are the sparklers of it.

Shine, o beautiful soul, shine on.

You are the harvest moon as well. And you are the dew that falls, or does it rise up from the center of the Earth to moisten the Earth's coverlet?

Where did you spring from if not from My heart?

And where did the stars spring from if not from My heart?

And where did everything spring from if not from My heart?

And where did you spring from, and where are you going if not to My heart?

Where else is there to go but My heart? What else is there to find but My heart. What are you looking for if not My heart? And My heart dwells in yours, and you dwell in Mine, and so the prince and the princess are united, and the stars blink in joy at the marriage of hearts and stars and all the sundry Creation.

HEAVEN #3943 God Gave You a Message Long Ago, September 11, 2011

God said:

The message has been sent. The message was sent long ago. You received it long ago. The message was sent over the air waves. I whispered it in your ear. I whispered in your ear what you are here on Earth to do. You do not have to remember what I whispered. You understood then. It may be unintelligible to you now. You do not have to be conscious of it. You don't have to be concerned about it because you are on the trail. When you are already walking on a trail, you don't need a map telling you how to get there.

There will be signposts popping up along the way as well.

It is ego that craves to know what your specific purpose in life is, as if to patently know your future gold stock is essential, as if you can't begin until you know the exact details.

The general purpose, the blanket purpose, is to love. That is the umbrella you go under. That is all you need to know. Within that umbrella come many specific shapes and sizes. What is it exactly that you think you have to know? The Great Ones may well not have known their specific purpose until they found themselves there. They did not have maps. They found themselves, you understand. They found themselves and with no way to turn back. They could not turn back the clocks. They could not trade in the pure gold of their existence for a specific title.

All the scrambling you do, desperately wanting to know your assigned purpose, is not necessary. Be content in knowing that you have a purpose, and you are on track now. Everyone has been blessed with a purpose.

Certainly, you have had detours. You went left instead of right, or you didn't move at all. Yet now you are in a position to live the life you know exists even when you can't give it a name.

Your purpose is greater than standing on the corner of State and Main, waiting for something to happen or a package to arrive.

Beloveds, your destiny is following you. Go forward, and your destiny will clap a hand on your shoulder. Your destiny will stare into your eyes, and you will succumb. Then you will dance a million jigs. Your destiny is you, nobody but you and, of course, Me. You are the destiny you seek.

Your importance is in you, not in a named future. Beloveds, you are not waiting for a hand-out. It's true that you might find a gold coin on the street. If you do, you will have stumbled on it. For the most part you have to mine for gold. You have to dig for it. You have to pause, take a breath, and look not for your fortune as such, look not for a reward as much as you look to give rather than receive, to know your own heart and follow it forthwith, not for what primacy you will attain but for what you can give in My Name. Start.

You are a waiter in a fine restaurant. You take trays from the kitchen, and fill them with culinary delights, and you take them out and serve them to the hungry diners. You do not fiddle around in the kitchen asking yourself: "What food shall I put on these trays?" No, you are served the trays, and so you carry them out and serve them to their rightful owners. You simply deliver the trays filled with sweetmeats.

Whatever your specific tasks, you are the deliverers of manna from Heaven. You can start delivering now. Perhaps you start delivering unprestigious pizza. That is how you follow your destiny. You don't wait for a limo to pull up. You take an ordinary cab or get on a bus. You reach out and claim your destiny, not for what it does for you, but as a gift you give to others.
