HEAVEN #3771 Let Desires Spin Around in the Universe , March 23, 2011

God said:

Desires do get fulfilled. Sometimes when you least expect it. There is a fine balance between desiring and demanding. Desire with all your heart, and then trust that your desire will be fulfilled. Let go of your desire enough so that it can be fulfilled. Desires like to fly free.

The timing may not be in line with your desire. Desires are fulfilled when they are fulfilled. Sometimes the more impatient you are, the more the desire answers in its own sweet time. Desiring is not meant to be the same as ruling the roost.

You can boost your desires too much! You may have to be a little casual with your desires. After all, your life does not depend upon the fulfillment of your desires. It certainly seems so sometimes, yet that is just an idea you have, like to have. You may like it that it is urgent that your every desire is fulfilled, and fulfilled now. You like to be listened to. You like to be taken seriously.

What part of you wants to be taken seriously? Could it be that little bully ego? Ego doesn’t like to be tampered with or stalled. Ego wants instant agreement, by golly.

Cast out your desires in an easy way, the way you might cast a fishing line when the sun is shining and the day is long. Just let nature take its course. Better to be beholden to nature than to ego. Ego is such an impatient little cuss. Ego has the maturity of, let’s say, a two-year old. Some two-year olds are more mature than your ego, will you admit to that? Ego wants what it wants, and it wants it now. Ego will not be derailed. Don’t be ego’s patsy. Ego has nothing to lose, but you do.

It is well-known that ego is a big player. He’s one of the guys at the card game with all the money who takes yours. He smokes his cigar and blows smoke in your face. Ego takes your free will actually and makes you ego’s servant. You don’t have to be beholden to ego. Ego is like cigar smoke. Both cigar smoke and ego eventually go away. When you don’t answer ego’s knock, he will find more fertile fields to play in. Ego has his pride, after all.

About desires, how could anyone desire ego? But it must that many have desired ego, or there would not be so much of it around. Be tough about ego and not about your desires. Let it not be your desire that every wish of yours is granted at the moment you desire it. Let the granting of the desire come as it wills. Be a forgiving desirer.

No one likes to be made to do anything. You don’t. Have your desires, and know there is no need for you to supervise them. Be glad when a desire is fulfilled. That is good enough to make more desires come panting to your door. Make it easy for your desires to be fulfilled by letting go of them. Some things just cannot be rushed. Rushing is how eggs get dropped to the floor and don’t reach the frying pan.

Let your desires spin around in the Universe for a while. They will find their own direction. Actually, your desires already know their path. Have you been trying to tell them how, when, and where?

Let your desires be like kites. Like kites, your desires will be picked up by the breeze, and they will be returned to you in ways you may not have thought of. That’s okay, isn’t it?

HEAVEN #3770 With New Eyes, March 22, 2011

God said:

When you think about it, what is anything? What is the worth of a piece of paper with a money amount and your name on it? It is worth to you the number put on it, and yet it is only a piece of paper. Everything and anything is worth to you the price you set on it. This applies to checks, items, furniture, and people.

You’re pretty good at estimating the worth of items. When it comes to people, you often fall short. How many people have you dismissed for no reason at all. You tossed their merit aside for an assumed reason, perhaps for the looks of the coat they wore. In your estimation, you somehow devalued people that, if you had seen through whatever blocked you, you might have found inestimable.

Don’t dismiss anyone so that you are not dismissed, for when you dismiss someone, you dismiss yourself.

There is no one who is irrelevant. Everyone is relevant. If someone comes before you or is even seen out of the corner of your eye, he or she came before you. Everyone comes for a reason. You don’t have to know the reason. You just have to acknowledge their presence. They may be tarnished like good silver. You are meant to see beneath outer appearances. Your inner blindness is often someone else’s outer appearance. You are the determinant of someone’s presumed value or lack of.

Sometimes whole peoples are undervalued because of superficialities. Until you know a person, or a nation, your under-evaluation is based on a supposition. Of course, you may attribute value to someone or a nation by the same premise. What do you value? Fame, fortune? Good looks, age, condition of skin? How many superficialities can you think of that decide the course of your life and what people you take into your heart and which people you do not.

Thankfully, you are not that way with dogs. You know that a scruffy dog may be a prince. You know that size isn’t the making or unmaking of a dog. A dog has no pretense. You give dogs a chance.

Sometimes in a fairy tale, it is said that the next person you see will be instrumental in your life. If you were told that and believed it, you would really look. You would really pay attention. All kinds of wonderful things could come from meeting someone. All you have to do is to keep your eyes and mind open.

I am saying to you that the next person you see may be instrumental in your life. He or she may be instrumental in opening your eyes, mind, and heart.

You have thrown away so many opportunities, and now I ask you to consider in equanimity all that comes before you. Give everything an even chance.

See what is. Do not see ahead of time or see later with regret.

Even if everyone before you is not delightful to you, you can still take delight.

Consider that all you meet have unexpected favors to give you. Suspect favors rather than anything else. Even someone who displeases you may be doing you a favor. Beloveds, you can even turn over a stone and find something of value. Unexpected delight is waiting for you. It is running after you.

It is better to go by present experience rather than past.

It is better to greet everyone as new. Give even someone you have seen every day for years a chance to be new. It is for you to see with new eyes. See the whole world with new eyes. See what happens.

HEAVEN #3769 What Possession Is There in Heaven, March 21, 2011

God said:

Are you to reflect the world, or is the world to reflect you?

Both.

Do your cupboards reveal the state of the world?

Orderliness is not everything by a long shot, yet orderliness is something. It could be a place to start.

If you would like to surpass world order as it exists now, then begin by straightening out your own cupboards.

Your life is certainly more than the physical, yet there is nothing wrong in making the physical compatible with ease and simplicity. Where else would you begin? Start and finish today. If you open your cupboards, and things fall out, you are overdue.

If there are things in your path to trip over, move them now. Clear your way. Make your path smooth. There is more to this than metaphor.

Start with a clear slate.

Wash the windows of your mind.

Your home reflects you, and you reflect your home.

Ascend from any stuckness of the past. Remove obstacles on all levels. Start from where you are now.

No disturbance prevents Me whatsoever. But congestion does affect you. You clear your throat. You clear your lungs. Clear out physical accumulations on all levels. There isn’t a better time.

When there are obstacles, you have imposed them upon yourself. Your life models itself after you.

Invite friends. That may help you clean out corners.

If you want to be a lightworker, it will be in good stead for you to travel light. What do angels carry with them? They carry their light. They carry their love. Angels do not even need wings to fly. They fly with love and no extra baggage. No baggage at all.

Amass love, and that’s it. That is the only accumulation to have, and, yet, love is not accumulated. It moves on. It doesn’t stay still. It doesn’t grow stale. Love is not hoarded. It is given. Give way to love.

Do not litter your closets.

Which comes first? Clarity or a clear path? Clear your path, and then you will be clear. It is amazing how well you do even in disorder. But why have it? It is now time for you to let go of everything. When you are orderly, you can even let go of orderliness. It is only a backdrop.

This is not a lesson in housekeeping. This is a lesson in freeing your soul from riff-raff. Possessions can be riff-raff.

Your soul survives everything. Make your soul’s flight plans easy. Let your soul take off untrammeled. Clear skies from now on.

Have one bowl. One knife. One fork. One spoon. Fill the bowl with one orange. Eat an orange simply with your fingers. One orange is more delicious than three or four oranges.

Everything but love, not in moderation, but in minimalization. Minimal gives a great return. Remember Oneness in all things. Heave ho the past. The past is never. The present is always.

What possession is there in Heaven? Only love. Peace. Happiness. Love and more love. Love multiplied into Oneness.

Sate yourself with Oneness. One heart, one mind. Love Oneness. Multiply Oneness, and it is still One. There is One Day, and it is Today. There is one You, and it is I. I am everywhere and nowhere at the same time. There is no sewing Me up.

Let yourself be unsewn.

Let yourself be a tower of love. Let yourself be love untrammeled, love held high, love above all. Love is enough. Love is the only plenty there is. Let love sustain itself. Let love sustain you. Love sustains the world, and you are part of the world, just as you are part of Me, or even the Wholeness of Me as We fly together and are never apart.

HEAVEN #3768 The Sunlight Is So Bright , March 20, 2011

God said:

There comes a time in life when you recognize all that you are and all that you are capable of. At the same time as you soar, your feet touch ground, and you no longer see yourself holding the importance that you once had. You are stronger than ever, and yet you don’t exist. You are a cipher. You don’t know where you are or that you even are. In the act of discovering yourself, you discover you have flown the coop. You have flown away somewhere you know not where. You never existed. You were mistaken. You only thought you existed.

The realization that you are not can be disconcerting. You thought you were going to become exalted, and you find you have disappeared. This great enlightening has been a world reality check. Why, you are nothing at all. There is nothing left of you. You are invisible to yourself. You cannot locate yourself anywhere.

Then it must be that you are everywhere. How can you be everywhere and nowhere at the same time? How can you be nothing and everything at the same time?

The sunlight is so bright you cannot be seen. The sun is in your eyes. You are more than you ever thought you were, and still you are nothing at all.

Has the idea of enlightenment been a fraud perpetuated on you?

Have you been nothing at all right along?

You cannot find yourself. You would like to look up at the stars and see yourself, and yet you don’t see yourself in the stars. You embrace the stars, but where and what are you?

Were you ever? Did you ever exist? All that you thought you were – was it a false image? Were tricks being played on you? Were you playing tricks on yourself?

When you go through photo albums, you wonder who that person is that seems to be so full of himself. Once upon a time, that’s who you thought you were. A body surrounded by other bodies.

A terrible thing has happened. You can’t see yourself. You amount to nothing. You can’t see anyone else either. You are blinded by the Sun, or is it that you were blinded before when you thought you could see? Have you been looking at the TV? Once you were a TV star, and now you, the you that you believed in, has disappeared before your very eyes.

You see your hands typing away, yet whose hands are typing away. What are hands doing there, moving there, fluctuating there, connected to the keyboard there? They are as much you as the keyboard is you. Everything has disappeared. The whole world disappeared when you did. Will it ever be found again? Will you ever find it again?

You are waiting for something to appear.

The way it is now is that you can’t even see Me, sense Me. You sense a void... You may even feel that you have been left holding the bag.

This long-touted enlightenment takes some getting used to. Of course, it does. The whole world is floating away with you on it. You are unlocatable. Nothing is locatable, and where are you or anyone to locate the world or anything at all?

You feel as Rip Van Winkle must have felt. You went to bed. You think it is the next morning that you are rousing yourself, and yet you discover that, in Earth time, it has been years and years. In your case, it has been eons.

You have heard that to find yourself, you have to lose yourself. You seem to have lost yourself, and, yet, you are nowhere to be found.

You ask yourself: “Where am I? Can I be found? Or, am I lost forever? If I am in God’s embrace, when will I feel the warmth of His embrace? Am I no longer able to?”

It seems that you have been lost forever and will never be found again. Why do you have to be found somewhere when you ARE?

HEAVEN #3767 What You Seek More Than Answers, March 19, 2011

God said:

There is the persistent idea in the world that you have to understand. Trying to understand, you spin your wheels. You take up unnecessary time with questioning. Seek further knowledge of what interests you. There may be a reason. At the same time, you don’t have to understand the workings of a motor in order to drive a car.

Where did you get the idea that you have to understand everything? Trying to make sense of everything makes no sense at all. Then striving to understand becomes a stumbling block.

Is it not true that you would like to understand everything? Big or little, it doesn’t matter, you crave to understand. “Why do I have this freckle on my nose? Why did my girlfriend leave me? How could she? Why didn’t the sun come out today? How did life come to be? And what am I doing here? What is it all about?”

Sometimes you ask so many questions, and you leave yourself up in the air.

You don’t really need so many questions. Nor do you need the answers.

What if you did get all the answers, what then? What difference would it really make? There is virtue in taking the card that is dealt you and holding your hand out for the next one. You don’t need to wait for a long-delaying answer.

Children give a short answer to Why. They say it is Because. Because it is. It isn’t exactly sensible to be offset or upset by what is. Why are you unmarried? Because you are. Why did you marry? Because you did.

Why do you ask why?

Life is not a wrestler that can simply be pinned down.

Life flows. That is your answer. Life flows.

You are really seeking Me more than answers. You are seeking love, and I have it, and I give it to you. What is love worth? A lot. Everything. And what is an answer worth? Not much at all. Nothing really. Oh, so this is why. An answer brings you to a quick stop. Does the answer apply to the next question? Probably not. And you start questioning all over again. Sometimes I think you are in a state of perpetual questioning. Enough of questions. Get down to life. Theories are a dime a dozen. Life is now. It is not necessary to ponder over life so much. Life is a flowing river. Why does the river flow? Because it flows.

And you also ask: “Does the river have an end?”

You may think it does, yet the answer is no. There is no end, just as there is no end to you. You are My Forever Creation.

Then you ask, “Why am I forever?”

The answers: “Because I made you so. Because you are not temporary. Because you are part and parcel of Me. Because this is how it is.”

“But why, but why?” you ask again and again, and the non-ending cycle of questions begins again.

There is one answer that applies, and that is love. Because of love, you are. Because of love you are eternal. Because love is eternal. Because there is God, because you are Mine, because I would have it no other way, you are irreplaceable. You are One with Me.

Rather than question, accept. Accept and move on. Accept and step out of the quicksand of questions that swallow you up and spit you out again.

Forget questions for a while. Forget answers for a while. Forge ahead in life, and keep going. You don’t have to have questions, and you don’t have to have answers. Make the life you have into what you want. That will keep you busy.

HEAVEN #3766 The Voice of Love , March 18, 2011

God said:

I speak to you only from the bottom of My heart. There is no other place for Me to speak from. I have One Voice. That is how it is. I have the Voice of Love. I am not a God of thunder and lightning. I am a God of Love.

I know you sometimes feel that I do terrible things, that I cause floods and havoc and death and all that.

Once upon a time there was a Norse God of Thunder. What a hullabaloo, yet all he was doing, was rearranging his furniture in the attic. That was all the noise and lightning. A simple God was clearing the way.

A God of Love loves, yet He is not always at liberty to suit you to a T. You have free will. I, Who have the freest Will in Heaven and on Earth, am not always at liberty to change the whole ballgame. It is not exactly that I go along with the past, yet I take care to protect the very foundation of the wobbly Earth you stand on. There are matters in motion that are better left in motion. To you, of course, death of the body is horrific. I do not see as you do. I understand how you see. I don’t exactly fluff it off, nor can I follow your vision. If I followed your vision, you do not know what would happen to the world. You don’t know what a jumble would be made of it. I encourage you to see from My vaster point of view, and then your eyes will widen, and everything will fall into place because you see better.

I am a God of Love.

I suppose you could say that, once upon a time, I laid down the law. It is love I laid down. My love is far-seeing. I would not remove a single brick of it.

Even in what you may see as the worst tragedy, there is another view or more from which to see it. A child loses his toy truck, and he cries his heart out. The truck is gone. The child cries his heart out. He will survive the loss of his truck. He does, doesn’t he?

Whatever occurs in the changeable world hastens you along. Whatever happens is a step up. You may not like it. Nevertheless, you have been boosted up. No one likes to flunk a test. Yet that very event may be a blessing. You have heard the expression: blessing in disguise. Everything you perceive as loss is a blessing. You do not yet see how.

The whole world was presented to you with love. Of course, it is all a blessing. And when you cannot see the blessedness, then know it is a blessing in disguise. If everything is a blessing, and the blessing part is unknown to you, then it must indeed be a blessing in disguise. You don’t know how or why. You don’t know how a deep loss can be a blessing. How can a broken heart be a blessing? Yet, even down the human road, you may begin to see.

Whole books have been written on how can there be tragic events involving good people. Events are not punishment. Let Me say that despite the impact events have on you, no matter how much they rend your heart, there is something more to be seen. The world speaks of tragedy. I don’t. Even in what you see as tragedy, tragedy is not. You do not see Me weeping. If there were loss as you see it, then I would be a God of weeping when I am a wholesome God of Love. It is better for Me to love. I ask you not to suffer. Suffering is an affliction you put on top of certain events. You don’t have to.

HEAVEN #3765 At a Picnic with God, March 17, 2011

God said:

Let Us have a picnic today. I have prepared it. I spread out a blanket called Earth, and I placed all manner of wonderful things on this blanket, and I have invited you to come. You do not have to bring anything to Our picnic except for yourself and your willingness. With willingness, you will taste everything, nibble on it, put some back, eat more of one thing than another, and just keep moving along the line of wonderful foods I have prepared for you.

If there are ants at our picnic, well, then, there are ants. We are at a picnic together. Let the ants be. They wanted to come too.

If one food is all gone, there will be something more for you to taste. When you come around again, another tray of your favorite delicacy may be placed before you. Meanwhile, you keep tasting. Some foods surprise you with their deliciousness. Others may be so familiar to you that you overlook their tastiness. And some foods you hastily put down.

All the time, be aware that you are at a picnic I have set before you.

You come as My guest. You bring yourself. You may have prepared a delicacy for the picnic as well. It may be a hit. Nevertheless, the best thing you bring to Our picnic is yourself, your willing self, eager to taste and eager to enjoy every morsel.

Who would come to the picnic I offer and be disgruntled? Who would turn away from Our picnic? Who would say to Me, “Sorry, God, I don’t like this food. I am going to go home and sulk.”

Who wouldn’t be good-natured and take the picnic as it is in this moment? Everyone knows that life in the world changes in every moment. Think of the good foods that are waiting for you further up the line. Think of the blanket you are privileged to sit on. Think of the joy you can engender.

What if I made a picnic for you every day? That would be something to be grateful for. If it rained on today’s picnic, the sun will shine on tomorrow’s. And must rain spoil Our picnic? Think of it, you are at a picnic with Me on this many-textured blanket where We sit together and break bread. We are at a picnic together, and here We are. What can spoil Our picnic but an attitude?

Attitudes can change.

Be children at a picnic who enjoy it all regardless of rain and mud and ants. Alive, you would choose to enjoy. Vibrant, you enjoy the idea of picnic, and you enjoy the actuality. Rained on or not, you were invited to a picnic I prepared for you. I suppose you had to attend. At least, you find yourself here at the picnic, even when you don’t know how you got here. And yet you have choice. You have choice to attend with grace. Really and truly, you don’t have another choice.

Rather I should say you have tried other choices, and found them all wanting. Just showing up hasn’t worked well. Showing up unwillingly works not at all. Petulance can spoil a picnic more than rain and ants. Probably the best thing for you to do at a picnic is to help Me serve. Perhaps you will take the trays around and offer My provisions. Perhaps you can offer more than sustenance. Perhaps you can offer joy of living and joy of loving whatever and whomever is presented to you. No matter what you find in your life, perhaps you can give someone else a lovely interlude. Perhaps the picnic can be as it is and you have only to change your tune.

HEAVEN #3764 You, the Human Being, March 16, 2011

God said:

You are so distracted by your humanness that you slide over your divinity. I would say holiness rather than divinity, but, then, your eyes would glaze over. That’s how unbelievable it is to you that you have even an inkblot of holiness anywhere in you. “Holiness, for God’s sakes,” your mind would say, “are You kidding?” The word spirituality you could believe in somewhat, to some degree. You could believe you have an inkblot of it. You have seen traces of your spirituality, but Heaven’s no, not your holiness. Your humanness dances on the screen of your life to such an unholy degree that it takes precedence over -- everything.

Your life is like a beautifully made bed with a colorful bedspread in luscious materials, with tassels and ruffles all over it to catch your eye. Whose eyes are going to go to the marvelous mattress underneath the overall bedspread even though, after all, it is the mattress that supports the whole of you during the night you spend there under the covers? The underlying basis of where you lie down goes unnoticed and mostly unexplored or not even thought of.

You dally on the bedspread. It is rich and intricate with so many engaging possibilities. The underlying basis is more like the strong silent type. If your life were a movie of the old West, the spiritual basis of you would be the sheriff who says little but “Yup.”

You know there is holiness when you look up at the sky. You know there is holiness in the sun, the trees, the leaves. You know there is holiness in a new baby, a flower. You know there is grace. You know there are blessings. You have felt them. You have given them.

You have yourself been a blessing. Don’t be so quick to say, “No, I haven’t.” You have been a blessing, and you have been blessed, and now, will you gear yourself up to recognize more of the blessedness in you, those around you, your friends, business acquaintances, and those you have yet to meet?

Do you not know that your dance in life is like a Virginia Reel, and everyone meets in a destined spiritual manner? There is no clandestined, beloveds. There is destined. At the right note, you meet your partner on the dance floor, even when he is your partner for only one whirl. Everyone who comes to you or you go to -- it is not an accident. An accident is not an accident.

The fire that burns in your heart and soul arranges things, arranges everything. Even when you are late, beloveds, you are on schedule.

I use the word destined. This does not mean that you are to lean back and lie in your hammock. What is destined you are destining at every moment. Your destiny is not marked in stone. You, the human being, the combination of human being and Holy Being that you are, you direct your destiny at every moment. You are the destiner of your own life and, therefore, your own fate. You destined that you would be an angel walking on Earth disguised as what you might call a mere human being. There is nothing mere about being a human being, unless you mean to say that you are a mere miracle.

Every second on this manifested journey you are on is a splendiferous miracle. You are the miracle-maker. Never was there a human being just like you ever before and nor will there be again. How miraculous is that? At the same time that you are one in an infinite number of possibilities, you were meant to be. You were meant to walk on Earth planting flowers, leaving pebbles of beauty and light. Your specialty is your holiness that you see as flimsy when it is, without question, the solid making of you.

HEAVEN #3763 Something You Have Never Done Before , March 15, 2011

God said:

Magnificent is the opportunity you have in the world. You wend yourself through the world. You are not sure what you will find or which way you will go. You are the finder of your path, and you are the fulfiller of it. You do this by putting one foot after the other. You have multitudinous opportunities to make something great from what you stumble upon. Even a pebble can be a find. Anything can be a find. You set the value on whatever you find. Pick up the pebble. Turn it into gold.

Do not pass by opportunities. Be opportune. By your presence, transmute everything into a golden opportunity. Decide what kind of opportunity you have been given. It is for you to decide that it is fortunate or tragic. I adjure you to find it fortunate. Transmute all your experience into gold.

Good fortune is always knocking at your door. Good fortune often comes disguised. It is for you to unmask good fortune and reveal it for what it is. You can turn even dross into gold.

You are given untold opportunities. You are given opportunity right and left. Perhaps you have been looking to avoid life rather than living it. You have to want more than to come out of life unscathed. That must not be your ambition. Let your ambition be something great.

It is not that you are to be a mender to the world, though, of course, you are to mend hearts. As you pass through the world, evoke a sense of Amen. As you pass through the world, let those you pass by say, “Amen. He has come.”

Find glory and represent it to all those who seek worthwhileness. Be an opportunist in the sense that you run with what is worthy. Find the worthiness. Make something good of whatever transpires. You can do it. You have to do it. It is yours to do. Invent something.

Apples fall from trees. Ideas fall from you. Be a creator of wonders to behold. From fallen apples, cider can be made. Something can be made from anything. What have you overlooked?

Peace be unto you. In peace, you will see what you may not have seen before. Configure what is before you. Desire it.

Be a treasure-hunter. Be an alchemist. Be My Beloved who walks the Earth on My behalf. What will you find now?

What if you are not here on Earth for yourself? What if you are on Earth for the sake of others? What if you are on Earth for My sake? What might you do now? What might change? What might you change? What might be the first difference you would make? What street would you go down? What would you find? What would you like to find? Find it. Your vision will enable you to find what you seek.

Make a difference to the world you live in. All you have to do is to see from a greater perspective. Perhaps you have to get out of the hole you have been in, not for your sake but for the sake of others. Maybe you will dare to scale the heights so that others may also dare. Maybe you bet on yourself and you bet on others. Maybe you are a bookie who bets on love, gives tremendous odds on love and wins honestly. The odds are in your favor. Make the odds come true.

Odds are that you are in the world to do something wonderful, something liberating, something perhaps you have never done before.

HEAVEN #3762 You Have Infinite Choices, March 14, 2011

God said:

If you ask Me what I am thinking, My answer is: “I am thinking of you.”

If you ask Me what I am doing, My answer is: “What am I doing? I do nothing. I AM, and that means I LOVE. I am here. That is what I do. I sit still and, by My Being, everything is created.”

The inception of all creation is in this moment. There is no other moment. It is not easy to convey to the world mind the existence of right now only. And yet, there is no train to the past. There is no train to the future. There is no string of existence. There is existence. There is no line that can be traced. There are no lines. There is love. We can say there is a Union of Love, and so love is joined, and yet love was never unjoined.

Time is a passing fancy. Space is too.

Life is a children’s fairy book with magnificent illustrations. There are the good children, and, for the sake of the story, ogres crop up. There are the innocents, and there are the wicked witches. Playing the witch can be fun. When you play the role of the witch, you can really go to town. There is some fascination in playing the role of witch. It allows opportunities that playing the prince or princess do not, at first glance, seem to allow. The villain, so it seems, can play a wider range.

The prince and princess are fully developed. The variants of the betrayer are not readily fully developed. There is only so far that the prince or princess can go before you dismiss the prince or princess. To your minds, however, unlimited is the betrayer.

Regardless, it is an experiment anyway. None of this is real. The only real is the love in Our hearts. Even the villain loves playing the bad guy, or maybe not. Maybe the bad guy isn’t all bad guy. Maybe he has remorse.

A real prince or princess has to be good all the time, so it is said.

Now, please don’t think that it is boring to be the prince or princess in life. All the possibilities just aren’t clear to you in theory. In actuality, the opportunities are infinite, just as you are infinite.

You can be the princess disguised as a homeless person or a prince disguised as a cop, just as you can be a DEA agent disguised as a bad guy.

Just as the villain may portray himself as a good guy, the appearance of the prince and princess may belie them.

And then there is opinion. One who hurt your heart may be an angel to someone else.

Every single day of your life you have a choice of who you are going to be.

I suggest that you be prince or princess. Do not think that this makes you a sissy. It makes you a hero. You may not make the headlines, but a hero nevertheless.

Every day you are given choices. Even in the tiniest moments, you are given a choice. In every moment, you are given a choice. You have the choice to smile or to frown. You have the choice to leap forward or to stay in the past.

Every moment you have the choice to be how much of a prince or princess you are going to be. You have a choice to share or not to share. You have a choice to give your heart or to steel your heart. You have the choice to bless or not to bless. You have the choice to polish life or to dim it. You have infinite choices, beloved.

Wear not disguises. Know Who you are. All villains are in disguise. They are disguised from themselves.

HEAVEN #3761 Bring Happiness On, March 13, 2011

God said:

If you have a car, you don’t lecture it about the past. If your car gets a flat tire, you fix it. You don’t keep blaming the car for the flat tire. You do not admonish the car. If your car runs out of gas, you fill the tank. You avert driving without gas. If your car is parked, and another car rams into yours, you don’t attribute the fault to your car, your driving, your skill. You do not avoid parking your car in the future. You do not keep thinking about it. You don’t go over it again and again about how, if you had parked your car somewhere else, this would not have happened. You do not relive it, rethink, or, furthermore, base the rest of your driving on that accident that you were innocent of.

Let us go further, for an example, and say that you had parked your car outside the white line. Maybe you didn’t see the white line. Maybe you didn’t know you were to park your car between the curb and the white line. Maybe you knew and let it be anyway for you were only going to park there a few moments. Whatever the reason, whether you were or were not to some degree responsible, the point is that you don’t let this one accident affect your entire driving career. You don’t, do you? You move on from it. You are very aware that the past is not the present, and you don’t use all your resources and energy to keep the past – like a motor – running.

Yet when it comes to your life, you may well keep too much of the past running into the future. You heap up the past as if it were an online class. In your attempt to not make the same errors, even if the errors were not yours, it seems you hark to the past. You somehow replay yourself, and you may seem unable to get off the track. You were the oldest of five, or you were the youngest of five, and you may repeat your role as the oldest or as the youngest. You just can’t seem to get out of it.

Better to think of yourself as born anew today. Recreate yourself. Your birth order, your heritage, your parents, your DNA are not the entire making of you. They are not unless you say so. All the reasons why you attribute the way you are are excuses, beloveds. You can point to all the justices or injustices of the past, and, still, you are responsible for who you are today. No one else is. The past is not. Even if you have made the most powerful map of the effect of your past on you, even if scientists have drawn such a map, even if it is proven a hundred different ways from Monday that you are not responsible, you are responsible for who you are now. No matter how favored or unfavored you were by the world and happenstance, you are responsible. You did or did not get out of the past. If you do not like how you function in the world, then it is up to you to function differently.

No matter the factors, they can be changed. You can change them. I have said before that you are your own prince who comes to the rescue. Or you are the villain who whisks you off to your own dismay.

We are not talking about blame. Blame is always something from the past. We are talking about responsibility, and responsibility is always now. Whatever you would like changed, you can change it. Occasionally, by the snap of a finger, change is made, yet more often by a decision you make, a vision you take on, a new road you take, a new way of standing, looking, incurring.

There are things worth changing. If you are not happy with yourself as you are now, or not happy with your life as it is now and that likely is many or most of the populace, then create happiness. Happiness, like anything else, does not have to be an accident. Decide that your fate is happiness, and bring happiness on.

HEAVEN #3760 How Can Your Heart Flow When Old Objects Block It?, March 12, 2011

God said:

Your heart is not an attic to be stored with unused unuseful items. Your heart is not meant for storage at all. Put no boxes in your heart, no unused items. Empty your heart of old collections. They collect dust. They sit there. They block your way.

In life, you are to take a running leap. You do not want too much in the way, too much to jump over, too much to get around, too much waylaying of your heart, Our heart, Our One Beautiful Heart. Do not muddy the waters of your heart.

Precious is your heart. It is a keepsake. Your heart is, of itself. It needs nothing stored in it. Only love belongs in your heart. No matter how taut your heart may have become, attune it now. Fix those heart strings. Reconnect them. Remove what gets in the way.

You are at liberty to have the heart you want. I know what you want. A stuffed heart is not it. Your heart is not meant to be your teddy bear from childhood.

Your heart wants to be free and new every day. Nothing carried over. Fresh love only in your heart. Nothing stale. Nothing bitter. Nothing held back. Nothing forsworn. Your heart is not meant to be made of coals or ashes or anything unuseful.

How can your heart flow when old objects block it?

Come right up to Me now. Empty your heart of anything that rattles around there. Rethinking all the thoughts you rethink serves you not at all. You have held to stones from the past, and you like to look at each one, turn it over, recall the memories. You must be aware that memories are of the past, those you hold dear, and those that hold you in their thrall. Let memories be like puppies you pet as you move from one room to another. Pet your memories in passing. Don’t stay with them. You don’t have to carry them with you. And, if they follow you around, give them a little pat goodbye and tell them that you have other things to do than to keep taking stock of them. Whatever happened in the past, happened in the past. It is a chewed bone. It is time to get past chewed bones.

Make room for new adventures. Step to the front. Leave the past behind you. Get past the past. There is no good reason to cling to it. If the past holds you fast, and odds are that it does, if you keep reliving the past, most especially the tortured past, you are holding on to a dry branch. Unwrap the past from the present. In holding the past close to you, you evade the present and repeat the past. The yesteryears cannot come back. There is no place for them now. Even the beautiful past cannot be restored. Don’t wear out the shoe leather of your heart. Don’t sop your heart up with the past and so undermine the present. Avast, said the old captains of the sea. Avast. Go forward.

The sea you sailed yesterday is no longer here. The day you rowed past has gone. Row a new ship today on a new sea. Be new. No longer restore the past. The past is meant to be a passing thing. Let it pass. Let the energy that goes into remembering go into life. Do not reheat old food. Make fresh food from fresh ingredients. What would hold you to the past? What would make you stay there when there is a whole new field before you, inviting you to romp on it and to make a heyday of it?

HEAVEN #3757 Surrender to Your Heart , March 9, 2011

God said:

Pure is the heart that loves. Love takes care of all the obstacles. When there is love, obstacles to love have no choice but to fade. Love wins. Obstacles don’t. Love and obstacles do not coexist. What was an obstacle is no longer an obstacle.

Even if for a moment, obstacles lag. When love surmounts obstacles, obstacles by the very nature of love come down to size. Obstacles, like ego, are not as big or high-faluting as they seem. Obstacles, like ego, are frail.

Obstacles to love are evidence of ego.

You were taught and learned a standard that said: ”Of course, you don’t love here or like that.” Obstacles to love are a matter of pride. In truth, there is not anyone who does not merit your love. My love is full and avoids no corners. If you are to give My love, then you are to love as I do love. You give love like Mine. My love is unrestricted love, for My love within you comes from the heart, not the mind. Sometimes the mind is just too clever to love. The mind is too smart for its own good. The mind plants its feet and dares not depart.

Love is not something that is weighed.

Because you love everyone does not mean that you are obliged to everyone. Love is not – I repeat – love is not obligation. Obligation is love enchained. Love enchained is not love. I adjure you to love and to love all. Because you love and someone loves you does not obligate you to subjugate your will. You are not going to marry everyone you love. Love means going by the heart and not mind. Obligation is of the mind.

When it comes to love, when it comes to the state of loving, love is not denied. Love the reprobate. Love the judger. Love all those who do not know about love and the range of love. The ball is in your court. You love. You just love.

The naughty boy is just as worthy of love as the obedient boy.

The man with a closed heart is just as worthy of love as the man with an open loving heart. This is what it means that you love all. Your love is not respective of status, performance, or judgment.

If love is too big a word for you, then choose the word appreciate, or choose the word blessing. Appreciate and bless. Someone with a closed heart exists in the world. Is he not brave? Bless him for his courage then.

Maybe you were that restricted heart once. And look how much your heart has opened. Look at you now. Someone, or many, appreciated and blessed you. They saw that you were a leaf from God’s tree. For a moment, or for a day, or always, they saw Whose child you are. They saw beyond your daily manifestation. They were not trying to improve or change you. They simply saw what I do see.

What I am capable of, you are capable of. The question is: Are you willing?

Are you willing to defray your willful mind and surrender to your heart? No longer deny the wealth of your heart.

What you surrender to is Truth.

Be brother or sister to all. No longer separate yourself.

Love the lost lambs as well as the found ones.

Love for a change. Love first. Love without revision. Love because everyone in the world can use your love. Love because you need your love. Love for no other reason than that the sun shines. Unrestrict your love so that the sun shines for all.

HEAVEN #3759 The Light of Your Heart Plays on the Leaves, March 11, 2011

God said:

My heart is bright sunlight. There is no dark forest of My heart, nor is there a dark forest of your heart. Sometimes clouds pass by your heart, that’s all. The so-called dark side of you is not Truth. The Truth is that your heart is lit by the sun. Your heart is bright sunlight. The light of your heart plays on the leaves.

What is buried is often called the dark side. Any darkness in a heart is an interloper. It does not belong there. It definitely does not belong there. Only warm bright melting love belongs in your heart. Your heart was made for naught else.

It is a hoax perpetuated on you that there is darkness housed in your heart. It may seem so. Tests may show so. Incidents in your life may show so, and yet, even so, the human heart is made of gold.

Some hearts get frozen mid-stream. They too can be melted. Let the sunshine of My love melt any and all hardened hearts. My love can undo the crustiness of any heart. Any barrier in your heart is a fake, yet fakes have more than once been believed in. Not a sliver of ice is to remain in your heart.

Underneath all the crust, your heart lies as warm as Mine. All hearts are created in the image of My heart. There is a flowing river of love in your heart just as there is in Mine. The floes of ice are leaving. Freezing is not permanent. It is temporary. Besides, freezing is illusory.

Your heart is meant to stay warm. Your heart is meant to be open and warm and to envelop all hearts. You are big-hearted. Your heart was never meant to close even a little bit.

Whatever may have contributed to the cooling down of your heart is a temporary freeze, and is there for you to thaw. Ice is no protection for you. Ice snaps and cracks. Warm your heart by the fire of My heart, and your heart will stay consistently warm.

Whatever closed the door of your heart, even a little bit, was an accident. It was not supposed to happen. Reverse this now. Open your heart. Open it wide. Whatever wrongs were committed against you were mistakes. You do not need to carry your or others’ mistakes with you. Step over mistakes, no matter whose they are, or kick them away, or stomp on them. These mistakes have to go. Erase them, or delete them. In any case, be done with them. Enough crackling of an innocent heart. Foreswear errors from now on. Anything that hurt your heart is an error. Your heart is meant to open, and open it shall. You shall throw away any keys that have locked your heart. Unlock your heart, and then throw away the keys. They do you no good.

Opening your heart does you good. Opening your heart is the only cure for a hardened heart or a broken heart or a stuttering heart. No need to analyze. No need at all. No inquiry is necessary. Injury does not belong to you, and you must not keep it. Unsheathe your heart now. Shine it. Polish it. Secure your heart in its openness. A closed heart is not a happy heart, and your heart is meant to be happy.

Take off all the scarves you have worn. Take off those mittens from your heart. Unbutton any coats you have covered your heart with. Remove falseness. A cold heart is false. A warm heart is true.

HEAVEN #3758 God Claims You, March 10, 2011

God said:

I speak from My heart. There is nowhere else to speak from. My heart speaks. My heart speaks to you. My heart is Truth, so Truth speaks to you from the beat of My heart.

Truth thunders through you. Truth is inescapable, and yet you escape it time and time again. Nevertheless, Truth is right before you. It is not an inch away.

Truth would assail you. Truth wants to be known. Truth is so wonderful, and yet you try to run away from it or evade it or cover it up. There has been a huge cover-up in the world, and yet Truth remains. Truth keeps coming up even as you avoid Truth’s splendor. Truth is inescapable, and yet you escape from it time and time again.

What would happen to you if you accepted the Truth about yourself? What would happen to you if you accepted yourself in all your glory? What do you think would happen if you accepted your splendor? What if you accepted yourself as you are? You would thread through the wheat seamlessly. You would love the world, and you would love yourself. You would not be a bundle of nerves. You would relax into the Universe. You would ride the waves of love. You would be elevated, and you would elevate all that surrounds you. You would ride the whale of life. You would know that life was yours to spend in melody.

And, so, I activate your heart to embrace. The mind does not embrace. The heart embraces. Your mind sorts and organizes, but what does it sort and organize? Life is not made of the crusading mind. Life is made of your vibrant heart reflecting from Heaven.

I hold you in a firm embrace of My heart. My heart would run off with you. My heart claims you. You are claimed by My heart. You are infinitely Mine. If you run away, you don’t know what you are running from. Better than running away, run to Me. Run into My arms of love. It is inevitable anyway. You are as good as caught. You are caught in love. You might as well stay. There is no better place. There is no place nearly so good. There is no place anywhere near it.

Why do you seemingly have sorrows to drown? Have an ocean of love to swim in instead. Ride the waves. Enjoy. Leap into the waters again and again. Swim like a fish and never want to get out, never want to go to shore. Capture the ocean in your heart. Let the ocean flow through your veins. Let your heart leap in the ocean like a fish. How do you separate a fish from the ocean, and why would you?

Fish and ocean go in tandem. They splash. They love one another. They are made for each other.

I made you and made you for Me as an extension of Me. I made you so that you would extend Me to everyone. I made you to acquaint everyone with Me. I made you to be a shining example of Me. I made you to portray Me as I would be as a human being on Earth. I made you to be a glimpse of Me. I made you to embody Me in world life. I made you to edify Me. I made you to be Me.

I made you to walk the Earth as an angel made in Heaven would walk the Earth and radiate the peace of love.

HEAVEN #3756 An Ever-Blooming Rose, March 8, 2011

God said:

Flowers are meant to blossom, and you are meant to blossom the same. So then, blossom.

How simple is life when you remember that you are a flower that grows to the sun and blooms. It is a simple task. It is not complicated.

A flower blooms because it is natural to bloom, and it is natural for a flower to give pleasure to all who see it. And it is natural for you to take pleasure in flowers. Is not your heart grateful to the flowers that bloom before your very eyes?

Flowers radiate their love without fanfare. And so must you. So must you be a flower that fulfills its purpose. Even when you don’t know your purpose, you can bloom. In fact, I will tell you, there is not a moment that you are not in process of blossoming. Do not ever think that you must stunt your growth for the sake of you-know-not-what.

My children are not so easily named as flowers are. A rose is a rose. It is a flower, and its declension is rose. Let Us say that all My children are roses, and the varieties of roses are endless. What declension of rose are you? There is no name for you. You spend your life on Earth trying to find out your name. You discover yourself as you go along.

The generic name for you is Lovely Rose. Will you remember that? You grow in a Garden of Lovely Roses.

And now you become a Loving Rose.

My children do not even hold a rose’s thorns as black marks against roses. Yet, when it comes to the human roses in My Garden of Life, you are critical of their deportment. You decide to appreciate some and not others. You do not always appreciate the rose that you are. In fact, you generally do not.

There is nothing that the rose of you in My Garden cannot be. That is what you do not yet accept. You think the rose of you has limits. You forget you are to blossom. The rose of you may think you are a shrinking violet or a wall flower or an unknown variety of rose. And yet a rose is a rose. You are a rose of My heart.

Identify yourself now. You have a DNA as roses do, and yet you are a self-determining rose. You can choose yourself. You can go to My Garden and pick out who you are. You are not limited. The possibilities of you are endless. Perhaps you stop blossoming too soon. You may not know that you are perennial. You may not know the Vastness of the rose that you are.

If you are someone who would not choose yourself, then grow to the sun and become the rose you yourself would like to pick. You are not stationary. You are not glued to a patch where only one kind of rose grows. The varieties are infinite, and you are infinite.

Draw your own picture. Let the rose you are unfold and unfold again and once more, and once more a thousand times.

I made a beautiful rose when I made you. Believe it. It is with other beliefs that you have defined yourself. Right now, today, grow beyond those little encircling fences you have made for yourself. You are not a rose who is to stay within certain lines. No, not at all. You are a rose who grows. Assume new proportions today.

Be the rose you want to be. Aspire. Release yourself from being one kind of rose and that’s all. You are an unlimited rose. You are the kind of rose who can bloom today and bloom tomorrow. You are an ever-blooming rose.

HEAVEN #3755 Bless You, World , March 7, 2011

God said:

Imagine that you stand at a mountain peak, and you seemingly see a vista of the whole world. Look down on the world with love. Imagine that you are I, God, and bless the world. Open your arms wide and say: “Bless you, world. I bless all the hills and dales and flowers and people and all growing things. I bless the people in every country of the world. I bless the rivers and lakes. I bless everyone and everything everywhere. I leave out no continent. I leave out no galaxy. I include all.”

Blessings are meant to be all-inclusive. There are to be no blessings for one and not another. All are to be blessed. All are to be blessed by all.

May all the children on Earth be healthy, wealthy, and wise. May all the children on Earth be blessed by you. If the world is your family, make it so. Make it so no one is left out. Care for all with your heart. You do not go around to fix everything. You simply care for all in your heart. Your heart has room for all. Your heart has no room for stinginess.

If you pray, pray beyond your territory. Pray beyond your horizon. It costs no more to pray for all.

Of course, I do not pray. You might say I issue My prayers through you, yet I do not pray. What would I pray for? If My desires are prayers, then my prayers are fulfilled. I desire all good, and that is what there is, and that is what there will be. My desires are answered before I formulate them. Whatever My desire, expressed or not, it comes to pass. I have only one way of looking at things. Actually, I don’t look. I know.

I know the Truth whereof I speak. I do not speak to Myself. I do not say My thoughts aloud to keep them in mind. All my thoughts are beyond thought. They are love. There are no words to describe love, Mine or yours. Love is beyond words. Love is even beyond understanding. I have no need to understand love for I am imbued with love. Love is all I know, and I know it very well. I came from love. I am love that arose from the Nothingness. Love is the power and the glory. Love is all-powerful, glory-full, full of itself without thought about it.

Love is a transformer. Love can perform magic tricks. Love can turn the appearance of non-love into love itself. Love is a transformer. Love transforms everything into itself. This is what love does. Love is a great multiplier.

To all things, love is the answer.

Yet what I mean by love may not be what you mean. I am speaking of a state of consciousness where all you can do is love in the sense of more abstract overall love. I do not mean going around and doing errands of love. By all means, do errands of love yet do them with a full heart. Do not do them to show yourself that, after all, you are a good person.

It is guaranteed that, at the base of all, you are a good person. Perhaps for a while, you play the part of someone who has run away from his or her goodness. Reclaim your goodness now. Being for good means being for growth. Another way to say that is being for good means being for expansion.

Even when you cannot expand your own heart, you can expand another’s.

HEAVEN #3754 May Your Mind Give Peace, March 6, 2011

God said:

Imagine the deepest rest you have ever felt. It was so deep and so easy. It was effortless. There was no straining. This is peace. Peace reigned for a while, and nothing was on your mind. Your mind was not supervising for once. Your mind was on vacation for a while and leaving you alone. Your mind was not haunting you. It was not repeating itself. It was giving you a break. It was letting you alone.

Your rapacious mind is supposed to get off your back. Your mind isn’t meant to toggle you back and forth. Your mind isn’t meant to jump up and down and give you warnings or even memories that take you down a shady lane.

Your mind took over your life and filled you with worries and things like that. Your mind simply made you think too much. It made you forage for more thoughts to top the ones you already had. Your mind raced hither and yon and forgot it wasn’t the big cheese. Your mind, well-meaning, of course, forgot that it was not meant to be the master of you and your heart. It forgot it was meant to serve you and leave your heart in peace. Your mind simply got so caught up in a thinking spree that it forgot its main mission. It simply forgot. It got caught up and forgot to look at the whole picture. The mind diverted itself from its course, the same way that you, when packing for a trip in haste, in your eagerness to get ready, you forgot to pack something important.

And so your mind races. It remembers all the non-essentials and forgets its main mission which is to save you worry and expense. Your mind is eager to serve you, yet it has mixed up the word serve with the word save.

Let Us express to the mind that its role is not to overtake you and wrest you away from the path of peace. As a server, your mind is more patient, quieter, gentler. The mind is not meant to yatata yatata so much. The mind is not meant to wear you out.

How do We calm the mind then? The mind is so powerful. How do We get it to rest and perhaps take frequent rests? As in all life, love your mind and ask it to play its music softly in the background. Pat your mind on its back and ask it to refrain from setting off alarms. Tell it that you will listen carefully to everything it says, and that it does not have to try so much to get your attention. Ask it to be calm, that you are responding to it and that you are responsible for your life and that you will take good care of yourself and your mind. Ask it to take a back seat for a while and give you peace. Ultimately, in peace, the mind will think better and will come to know itself that rest is good, and that when it warns you less, it will scare you less, and you will be able to listen to it better.

Tell your ruffled mind that it needs to slow down and make a truce with life. It is to sit with its feet up some times. It is to relax sometimes, to imagine itself lying on a beach, just taking in the sun, listening to the surf, to imagine itself people-watching and not saying a word, just lying there as life does its thing. The mind will notice the good effect its peace-giving gives you. From then on your mind will prompt you but not too much, not too little, but just right.

HEAVEN #3753 The Path Is Love, March 5, 2011

God said:

True love knows no bounds. On the other hand, bounded love is love ensnarled, enslaved, trimmed, lobbed, cut off. True love is not like fingernails that you pare. True love does not ration itself. True love is rather like a balloon rising, rising. True love is unattached. It does not attach nor does it gauge. It is given without quarter. There is no charge for it. Recompense is not asked for. Love itself freed is recompense enough.

Love hires no accountants, no sentries. Love requires no accounting. Love is like an artist who paints as he paints. His painting is free to be what it is. There is no tampering or hampering with love any more than there is with art. Love and art are more than analysis. Love and art are not mechanized.

Love sets sail with its flag flying. It sails along an uncharted sea. For the love of sailing, love sets sail. And love takes its course across the uncharted seas.

Loving is enough. Love does not wind up somewhere. It continues. When it reaches land, love continues to sail.

Love ventures, and love abides. Through all kinds of weather, love abides. Love lets go, and everything follows it, so mighty is the power of love. So mighty is the power of love that it runs on its own steam. It takes no energy at all. Effortless is love, for love is natural. It is because of love that a dandelion makes its way through cracks. It is love that makes a humble dandelion reach for the sun.

All love is reaching for Me. Everyone and everything wants to reach Me, and love boosts you higher. The heights of love lift you higher. Love stands on your shoulders and reaches to the heights where all is love and you ride through the waves of love. Where is there to rise to except where love is? What do you think Heaven is? Heaven is where your love comes from and where your love is. Heaven is your natural state. Take the elevator up.

All that is needed for this rise is to get rid of the ballast that has held you down. All the ballast is the weight of the past, past thoughts, conclusions about what is called the past, false conclusions about the past and false conclusions about what is called the future. I suppose We must also add false conclusions about the present as you fly through it. You try to catch hold of that which cannot be held onto. The bongos of time have you in their thrall, and so you measure the bounty of natural love in your heart. You want to sew it up. Even when you know better, you still like the idea of love sewn in place. When you try to sew love in place, you squelch it.

Love is not an answer. Of course, it is the only answer there is, and yet love is not to be sought as an answer. The object of love is to love. There is no other gain but to love. Love is not an accumulation of merit badges. It is a giving. It gives solace to all concerned.

Consider love a path and go down it. Let love be the name of the street you go down. Of course, love is the only path to go down. All other paths are one way or dead-ends. All other paths leave you at the brink. They are false paths, trick paths. You have gone down them. And every time, even when you despair of enough love in your heart, you are left with no other path to go down but the path of love -- no other path to go down worth its salt, that is.

HEAVEN #3752 Wish Upon the Stars , March 4, 2011

God said:

How beautiful you are. Even in your dismay and questioning, you are beautiful. You are a quantity unknown to yourself. You deny knowledge of yourself. You deny knowledge of Our One Self, and yet you do know, and yet you scurry around on Earth. You pace back and forth. Your mind paces back and forth. You are unsure of yourself. You don’t know who you are. You look to the stars and wish upon them. You wish upon yourself. You see My bright light and don’t know that the same light is yours. You plead ignorance.

What responsibility are you hesitant of? If you were to recognize your light in the stars, what are you afraid would happen to your inherent intrinsic light? Do you fear you would lose it? No, beloveds, you would have it. You do have it, and then you would know what you have and what you are. You are the Bright Light of God that shines and makes hearts dance.

Do you fear that shining your light is too much for your heart? Not at all. Your heart has been waiting to shine. Your heart has been longing to share its brightness. All your longings put into one are this: Your heart’s desire is to shine and shine and cover the Earth with the brightness of stars. Okay, sleep at night, and be the stars of God’s light shining by day and your light will mingle with the stars. You may think that is a dream, yet at night you do sparkle with the stars. Your attraction to stars tells you that you and the stars share a great inheritance of God’s light. You and the stars light up the world. You carry the world in your hearts, beloveds. You hold the world up in your light. You cradle the Earth in your light. You and the stars are the same.

Keep looking up at the stars. They are the night lights of the soul.

Light is very desirable to you. Why do you think your heart loves the panorama of sunrise and sunlight so much? In their beauty, you recognize yourself. You are the same display of light. You see and don’t see at the same time. Can you imagine the vista that is before Me every time I look at you? I never stop looking at you. I never stop seeing the beauty of your light. It fills My heart with wonder. Look what I have created. Look at My life’s work. You were no work at all. You were My pleasure. You are My delight. Think of it, you are derived from My light. You are spectacular. I do not exaggerate.

The difficulty with you is that you seemingly turn your light on, and you seemingly turn it off. Leave your light on. It is only in your mind that you can switch it off. When you experience what you call suffering, that is a signal to you that you have attempted to turn your light off. Turning light off cramps your heart. This is not your style. This is not the style of the human heart to hurt itself. It is an attempt, however, and this attempt you call suffering, as if it had been done to you, when it is you yourself who has pulled the switch on yourself.

Leave your heartlight on, and what you call suffering will not arise. It is the attempted closing of your heart that causes your heart to ache. You are the doorkeeper of your heart. Keep your heart open. Keep it open with the outpouring and in-pouring of your light of love. Do this in My Name.

HEAVEN #3750 The Earth Star of God’s Love, March 2, 2011

God said:

Our continuation hand in hand is assured. We are a ship that has set sail, and We are mates. Myself you call Captain, and you call yourself mate. In one sense that is Our arrangement. In a truer sense, We are One. There is One of Us. One. Yet We like to be mates sailing across the bounty main. Even as We sail and sail, We are a still picture. It looks as if the wind blows astern, and the waves wax and wane like the moon in the vast sky, and yet We are a still picture. We are about to sail. We are already in the middle of the ocean, and We are about ready to reach shore. We are nothing but Silence, and yet there are sound waves of Our Silence, cresting and furling, furling and cresting, We Who are the Sea appear to sail. The horizon is vast. Our hearts are vast. All is Vastness even though there is no measure to it. There is no beginning nor end to Our Vastness. We are the rolling hills of life. There is a tide of Us in the Vastness of Stillness or the Stillness of Vastness.

We ARE. It matters not the definitions. The fact is that We cannot be defined, yet that is what life in the world seems to be about, a definition, and identifiable definition, a puzzle unanswerable on that level. We know and are known on a vaster level than definition. In that sense, We are an insoluble puzzle.

And, so, life on Earth is a search for answers to the puzzle that cannot be found yet feels urgent to solve. What is there to solve? Your mind wants to know what the heart and spirit already know. Deep down you truly know that which you call the Unknown. Funny, isn’t it, that you call Truth the Unknown when you have always known it. The knowledge submerged is the knowledge Known. All the rest is swirls and ruffles. You must think you need to stitch that which is already sewn.

Hearts are in place. And heart and spirit and Silence are all that are knowable. All the rest is speculation. You place your bets when, all the while, the outcome is assured. You like to speculate. Your mind likes to roam the range and lasso the cattle. There is only the herding of your heart, beloveds. You herd the herder, as it were. You chase yourself. You hear the rumblings of your own heart and call the rumblings the beginning of time.

Your heart is stirred. You stir it. You stir life. You collect it. You try to fathom it. It is unfathomable. The Sun and the Moon coexist. It is like impossible, and the impossible is what is. You are the Sun and the Moon, and you coexist with the Oneness. Impossible, yet that is what is.

You are unreinable, and yet you pull the reins on yourself. You start and stop yourself when you are unstoppable. Into One Heart you rest and never sleep and are always awake. You are always under the umbrella of My heart. You are spokes of My love. You radiate. The umbrella turns on its axis, and so the North Star appears in the sky. The North Star seemingly holds everything in place, even when there is no place to hold anything.

And, behold, you. You are the Earth Star of My Heart, and My Heart is full with love for you, and with My love for you, Eternal Life begins and stays, Eternal Life which is what has always been.

HEAVEN #3751 The Way Plums Fall from Trees, March 3, 2011

God said:

I speak to all My children when I say you. You means every single one of you, the educated and the uneducated, the deaf, the mute, the renegade and the saint.

I speak of that special place within your heart that is eternal. It is the special essence that is called spirit, soul, Being, the Truth of You. This is not your hurt feelings at all. It is beyond feeling, although it is felt. You must know that you have an essence within you that is far more than solid Earth, solid mind, solid heart. The soul of you is far more than everything else put together, a hundred-thousand times over. It is silent. It is unseen, and yet it is the knowing part of you.

I have to say part, yet you must know, that the soul I speak of is far more than a part. It is the whole of you. It is the whole of existence. It is way more than the parade of you on Earth. It is existential. It is transcendent. The poets have spoken of it. Without your knowing the meaning in words, you know the meaning. You are awakened to the essence. The meaning does not have words. It surpasses words. It surpasses identification. It is essence. This is the level on which We communicate.

You hear My love. It vibrates. It vibrates the Earth. It vibrates you. The way plums fall from trees, you catch My love in words. My love pings in your heart, and you translate the pings into words that you know. You are a God-Sensor. You are an interpreter of My love, and you interpret My love in words. From deeper than language, you translate Me into words. You know Me beyond words. You hear Me in that secret silent place in your heart, and your mind translates My love into words. I speak a different language, you understand. I speak in the origin of language. The closest description of it would be a certain vibration, a hum. All of nature is aware of My hum. You are part of nature as much as the birds who interpret Me into song. You and every creature on Earth are interpreting Me all the day long and in dreams at night as well and all your life long on Earth.

You may think of your interpreting My love as looking for Me, seeking Me, searching for Me, wanting to get to know Me when you know Me so well all along. You are looking for another level of Me. A world level of Me, not a deeper level, for you know Me very well to the depths of your toes. Everyone knows Me. Every newborn, every child, every man and woman, everyone you know and everyone you don’t know, know Me. The masses know Me. No one could exist without knowing Me. It is just that on the more surface level that you are not quite able to grasp Me, for, of course, I am ungraspable.

However, I know you. I know you deeply. Love knows love. I AM love, and yet I am love beyond what your mind can encircle as love. I am the Lovable. I am the Knowable, and yet you think I am the Unknown. Your mind thinks I am the Unknown. I cannot be found, really found, in the dictionary, for no one can describe Me on the level of the Earth Mind.

And, so, you are imbued with Me in that remarkable place within your heart, that place – I say place for want of a better word – where I always am, and where you are, too, indelibly Mine.

HEAVEN #3749 Computer Interaction, March 1, 2011

God said:

You are attached to life on Earth. If you were not, you would not suffer. You would not agonize.

You who are attached to the internet have forgotten the truth of your existence which is: You reach far and wide everywhere with or without the computer. You are far-reaching. You are a far-reaching human Being.

And you, and everyone else, are also far-receiving human Beings.

Do you think that because something is not published, that it does not go out? Do you think that because the physical manifestation, which the internet is, remains within your computer that it is not received?

Do you think that because I am not visible that I am not?

Upset is visible, yet emotions themselves are not seen. There may be evidence of your emotions, yet emotions themselves are not seen. They are construed, yet how very real are emotions to you. How very real are your emotions to you. You may not give great regard to others’ emotions. You may smile at others’ emotions, their joy or their heartbreak. From your view, others’ emotions do not quite have the significance that your own do. You see others’ emotions as fleeting things while your own emotions hold you in their vise.

And, so, your computer is broken, and you feel relegated to being out of the loop. You are on a desert island. Life has seemingly gone on without you. It seems to you that have been severed from life in the world. You have had a kind of death. You have been left behind. The world is going on without you. Although you are as much part of life as you ever were, you feel left out.

Your life is not really dependent upon computer interaction any more than it is dependent upon the style of clothing that you wear.

We, you and I, can write the lyrics for a song: “It is only you and Me, baby, as it ever was. Just you and Me, dancing across the Universe. This is what life is, baby, you and Me.”

It is not illusion that you are connected to the world. The illusion is that you are dependent upon the internet to connect you. The illusion is that you are dependent.

Willy-nilly, thoughts are exchanged. There is interchange between souls. Your heart is speaking to all the people you know right now. I am speaking through you as much as ever. It is not really a secret that hearts speak across the galaxies, and hearts are connected, and hearts meet through the simple act of love.

And, so, even in a cave, hearts speak, and hearts hear.

Let there be death of illusion, and Truth arise. Let Truth expand your heart. Let Our companionship wrap the world into Our hearts. Let Us be bound in love and nothing else. Let Our love be far-reaching and near-reaching. Let it be known that Our love is all, and all is love.

Is love dependent upon physical connections? No, love is dependent upon nothing but itself. Love is independent. Love is not dependent upon a word, or a voice, or a smile, or eyes looking into yours, or an email. With or without emails, you and everyone else are connected, and well-connected. You are connected with Me.

So, your computer crashed. The computer, I repeat, is not your connection to the world. It is a graphic display of your connection. It is loud and clear, and yet the computer is not your lifeline to the world. It is a mechanical object that brings the spiritual into the physical. First there is the spiritual. The spiritual comes first. Without the spiritual, the computer is nothing. Without the spiritual, nothing is anything. The spiritual cannot crash. The spiritual is everything. And all is well.

HEAVEN #3748 The Essence of Life, February 28, 2011

God said:

I love you. I also like you. I like your spirit. I like your stride. I like your courage in life. Life takes courage because of your deep belief in the significance of your body. You are so associated with your body that you are deep down quite sure that you cannot exist without it. Of course, intellectually you may understand that your body is a subsidiary of you, and, yet, naturally, your body is precious to you. It has been more real than the Reality of you.

You have been scammed. You have been led to believe that you can’t live without your body. You focus on the existence of your body and what vitamin to take next, what cure will ensure the long existence of your body. I, too, wish good health to your body. It is a magnificent structure, and you can take photos of it, and you can look at yourself and know that you exist. You existed before this particular body, and you will exist after this body. We can say that your current body is a symbol of you. It is like a V for Victory. It is a B for Body. It is a B for Buddy, for you are long associated with this fleeting body. You don’t like to see it change.

All the attention on make-up is to disguise the fact that the human body changes and ages, and that yours does too. There is a great desire to close your eyes to this. And so you spend your life retracting the everlasting qualities that are truly your existence, your lifelong existence, your eon-long existence, your eternal infinite existence. Oh, My, yes, you are by no means limited to a body.

Bodies may go to hospitals, but not you, beloveds. You are irrespective of illness. You are irrespective of buildings. You are irrespective of everything but the essence of love that you are. You are long-lasting love. You are eternal love. You require no boundaries except you live inside one while you play at being a human being on Earth. You make mud pies on Earth.

You like boundaries and borders on Earth. You don’t like the idea that you could come to the edge of the Earth and fall off. You like the fact that you adhere to Earth, somehow stick to it. And you like to be made of bone and flesh which clearly your body is. You don’t know so much about the spirit that you are said to be. Can it be shown to you? Can you take a photo of it? Can you put beautiful clothes on it? What difference does it make, you wonder, that you have spirit? It makes all the difference in the world to you to have your body. It allows you to frolic on Earth.

The thing is that you are not Earthbound. You are not bound to the physical. You are also a player behind the scenes. You are a mighty player behind the scenes. You are a frequent flyer. You scan the Heavens. You associate with the essence of Earth and Heaven which are, after all the same attar of life, as it were. Yes, you are the essence of life. Essence is mightier than its appearance.

You appear in the world as a body. Your body is like a bottle that holds the perfume. The bottle is not the perfume. It is the container of it. It is only a bottle.

Ah, but what the body encloses, the essence of you is far, far more than a body.

HEAVEN #3747 In Love with Illusion, February 27, 2011

God said:

Let’s face it. You are in love with illusion. You love illusion more than anything. You who would deny that you love pomp and circumstance love illusion. You love a parade. You hardly love the deeper significance of life. In fact, you do not love it at all. The deeper significance of life seems like a wayward thing, a miscreant perhaps. You don’t consider the carrot of everlasting life to be so desirable as it is.

What do you really care about what is behind the veil when you are happy or when you are suffering? You tell yourself that you live in the here and now, and you don’t want later or what’s secretly going on at this supposed time to confuse you. You want that which you like to see, and you want it now, and you want it to stay, and you want that to be the truth of existence whether it is or not. Existence has been enough for you, and sometimes too much for you.

Nevertheless, you want the surface to be permanent when you want it to be, and you want the surface to be temporary when you want it to be, and sometimes you want all or nothing.

You do not want to be adrift in the ocean of life, and yet you want its highlights. You want that which you want, and you want it now, for you mean to live in the present. All the while, you are living in illusion. You want to be at a party that never ends. You do not want the clock to toll midnight. You do not want Cinderella to look like a motherless scullery maid again. Beloveds, you are caught up in appearances. What are princess and scullery maid but appearances? Call them reality, if you like, yet they are still appearances. Call them real life, if you like, for that makes them true for you whether they are true or not.

You never want any color to fade. You want all colors to be bright and flattering to you and your living quarters. You want the sun to shine every day, unless you happen to want snow to ski on.

Illusion captivates you very much. Alas, illusion is illusion and cannot be anything else.

It so happens that the real action is subterranean. It is like a poem that is not quite clear. It may have a great affect on you, and yet you don’t understand it. Understandably, you don’t want to deal with anything you don’t understand. You like to deal with what you do understand, although you do understand very little of it, of life, of yourself, and what you are doing on this illusive Earth.

Yet there is comfort in turning the key of your car, and it starts. There is even comfort in getting on the bus and showing your bus pass. Life is made up of so much of these little acts that give a continuity to life. All this is enough for you. You have to manage these steps of life anyway. How can you deal with this underlying Silence when you have all you can do to deal with the noise? What do I, God, think you are anyway, you ask.

You know by now what I think. I think you are beautiful and true. I think your veering away from the validity and solidity of the Silence is a mask. You hold a mask before your face and attend the masquerade ball. And, so, you while away your time, your illusory time, and you like to think that you make hay while the sun shines.

Whereof I speak, the sun shines all the time, and you are on favored ground. You don’t have to leave the surface of life in order to enjoy the underlying Silence. You keep your eye on the day-to-day life, and yet you keep an ear to the deeper foundation of life from which, when all is said and done, you cannot flee. And I have to ask you, why would you want to flee from that which gives real meaning to your life? You cannot escape anyway. You cannot escape the joy I have made ready for you. You are already here with Me, and that’s how it is, and that’s how you are.

PRAYER BOARD


HEAVEN #3746 In the Middle of the Ocean, February 26, 2011

God said:

All My love. What do you think that means? Only a little love? Only sometimes? Once in a while? If you’re lucky?

When you are in the middle of the sea, you do not see all the waves that lead to shore. You can’t see that far. You are in the middle of the ocean. Yet you can know that the waves you do not see nevertheless lead to shore. They lead you to your desired location. Even when the seas are rough, the waves are leading you.

The waves of life are not always what you covet, and, yet, how can you say they are not the right waves? It is easy, in times of what certainly seems like big trouble, to say, “It is God’s Will,” as if I, God, have a different destiny in mind for you, as if I were a perverse God, an undeniable God that even takes children away from mothers, and mothers away from children, a callous God, an unfeeling God, a cruel God, an irreverent God, so to say.

I do not take your griefs lightly. I would wish that you not grieve, and you, to be honest, would say, “How can I not?” You cannot see the waves as they lap to shore. I do not make light of the anguish that your hearts feel over big and little engagements in your lives. There are times you feel that your heart breaks and then something more heartbreaking happens, and then your earlier hurt assumes a lesser place in the scale of hurts.

As a child, you did not get the candy you wanted, and you were heartbroken. You could not understand. There was something you wanted, and it was right there, and your Mommy or Daddy would not give it to you.

Or there was a rose you wanted to pick, and you were denied the rose as well.

And then there was a love you wanted, and you couldn’t have it.

There are other tragedies in life, you never see the wisdom of. You never see the use. Nothing palliates your hurting heart. There is no answer you can find to the question why, for example, why did he die? All that you know, from everything you know, is that he did die, and this hurts. Are there relative degrees of hurt? Yes, there are, and yet hurt is hurt.

You know My answer. There is no death. There is that which seems irrevocably like death. Life on Earth is an interlude. Death of the body is incidental, beloveds. It is not the tragedy you feel it is. Life for you is made up of good, bad, and not so good or not so bad, yet death of the body of a loved one is not a cruel cut of the surgeon’s knife.

To one like you, however, how can you possibly think, let alone feel, that it is all right? Yet your loved one has reached harbors so beyond your reach and vision that you cannot even quite imagine them. What if what you call death is an occasion for joy? What if could be? In any case, dear ones, it is not the bludgeoning that you presently think. Death of the body does not have the finality you think it does. It is an opening. It is not meant to hurt you or the one who departs his body. The body is big and important to you. The world says death is a huge deadly thing when it is merely passing through a mirror.

And yet you cannot find the comfort. No matter whether it is a young child or an old father, you weep and cannot understand, cannot accept, and so you fight that which is inevitable while you are in a body on Earth. Death of the body is big to you, and yet it is no big thing. It is illusion, beloveds. I do not take anyone away.

HEAVEN #3745 Who Winds Up the World and Makes It Run, February 25, 2011

God said:

From the inner workings of your heart comes the outer play of life. Upon so much of your heart rests the world. The world is dependent upon you. The world takes a picture of your heart and shows it to you. If you truly wish to uplift the world, then uplift your heart. You have thought that your heart is dependent upon the world. To some degree that is true, yet the world begins with you. The world is your disciple, so to speak. You set the tone for the world. Sing a merry tune.

Of course, the world is dependent upon your thoughts, your moods, your love. Everything is dependent upon your love. You are dependent upon your love. Your love sets the course for the world. Your love is like the sun setting out every morning. Your love peeks over the horizon. What is so hard about sharing love and making it apparent in the world?

You have been holding back. You have been waiting for the world to fill you with love when it is you who is to fill the world with love. You are like a horse waiting for the carriage to move forward.

The resplendence of the world waits for you. The well-being of the world is your responsibility. Lay out a blanket of your love for the world. Open the shades of the world, and look upon it, and see that it is good.

You oil the gears of the world. More than that, the world does not exist without you. You are the spinner of the world. If the world were a loom, you are the weaver. If the world were a cloth, you are the one who sews the cloth. You are the cabinetmaker of the world. You are the artist and musician of it.

The world is not as you thought. It is the cushion you sit on, yet you are the maker of the cushion. You are the dance teacher of the Universe. You twirl the world. You show it how. You are the spinner at the spinning wheel. You are the nutrition of the world. You feed the world. You supply it with its wealth. You make the world happen, and happen it does. You report the world. You, the reporter, the describer of the world, are also its energizer.

The world contributes to your story, and yet you are the motivator of the world. True, the world is for you, and yet you are for the world. You are more for the world than the world is for you. Which came first? You or the world? The tale is that the world came first for you to inhabit it, as if there were time and sequence. The world was spread out for you. Yet who tends the vineyard? Who picks the grapes? Who eats them? Who spits out the seeds, or chews them, or decides to dry the grapes and call them raisins? Who winds up the world and makes it run?

Of course, your arrangement with the world is reciprocal. The light you shine on the world casts its light on you. The shadows you cast on the world cast their shadows on you. It is up to you to make the world harmonic. The world plays the tune you give it. Get up now and enjoin the world to make merry at no expense to anyone. Lay out a royal carpet. Make the world a nice place for everyone to walk on. Make the grass green and the sky blue. Make a rosy sun to shine on all.

This is how you make the world.
