HEAVEN #3727 In So Many Ways, February 7, 2011

God said:

Once upon a time, your mind wandered far from where you were. Your mind wandered, yet you were in your appointed place. Your mind was not and is not the key of you. Although your heart is a great key, there is a soul in the heart of you that opens up the whole Universe. The soul delivers Truth to you. It is the dawn that brings the steady sun. There is no darkness of soul, beloveds. If you do not see, it’s just that you are perhaps turned in another direction, or you have covered your eyes, or covered your soul with the trappings and trimmings of life on Earth. Just as, if you do not hear, you may have covered your ears.

What would happen if you believed in yourself? Then you would be believing in Me, for We walk together. Of course, I do not mean that you believe in your separateness. It doesn’t make sense for you to believe in yourself more than you believe in Me. I suppose that We could say that you ride on My shoulders. We accompany each other. I guide, and yet you steer. And yet I am looking out for you. Never think I trip you up. We ride together. We ride as One. You may steer, yet you don’t always know where you are going. You don’t always know where you have been. You don’t always know where you are right now.

You can repeat words you have heard, yet that is not the same as knowing where you are and what you are doing. You may tell a good story, and yet you may not have a clue. The fact is that We are riding high in the saddle. We gallop through life at the speed of light, and yet there is no hurry. There is no speed to no hurry in. There is no time. Light there is. Follow the light.

You are not chasing moonbeams. Can the light even of a moonbeam see itself? It can see an Eternal Light shining brightly within itself. Yes, the light within. The inward looks outward, and love captures itself.

There is spam that comes to your computer, and yet it does not come by itself. It is sent and sent repeatedly. You are not spam. You come from a Higher Source. You are not off an assembly line. You are birthed from the Heart of God. Even so, you stay within the Heart of God, or the Heart of God stays within you. In truth, there is no in or out. There is Oneness.

This is a new kind of math, and you only have to count up to one. If zero is the Wholeness of Everything, then it could be that one zero is all.

Do stars count themselves? There is star-ness. There is light. What other details are necessary to know? All you have to do is to look at a star, and you have deep knowledge of a star and all stars and the nature of stars. The light of the stars permeates you. The light enters you. How does starlight enter and light up your heart?

Is it through the eyes? It may also enter through the pores of your skin. Starlight seeps in and becomes you. You are born from the stars. A star of you was placed on Earth. You came to Earth, and the light of stars bounced to Earth with you, and you and I and the stars and the light of the stars are One Light that reflects the Universal Light of itself everywhere in so many ways.

HEAVEN #3731 If You Were God, February 11, 2011

God said:

When you have an idea, act on it. At least, don’t be so quick to dismiss your ideas. Give them a chance.

New ideas always seem far-fetched until they are accepted. Be the accepter of your own ideas.

Sometimes you have a thought of doing something nice for someone, and you dismiss it. You start to think it’s silly. The truth is that it may be the most useful thought you’ve had all day. It is always right to do a kindness.

You may begin to think that the person you would do this for might think you’re odd.

You do not do a kind act based on what the receiver of your kindness will think. You do a kind act because I have asked you to. I have woken you up to the concept that you want to do something out of the ordinary for someone. Now I am waking you up to the fact that, if you think of it, it is yours to do.

Come out of the vise of dailiness that you have squeezed yourself into. Do something different. Do something you have never done before. Astonish yourself with the truth of yourself. Bless yourself by blessing others. This is your birthright. It is your birthright to come off the back burner.

Now turn your light on. It is not the limelight you seek. It is not the limelight you get. You simply let the lighted being you are be seen. Turn that switch of love on. And leave it on. Switch no more. Let your light stay on. It will not seem so out of the way to you as it may seem now. Get used to making others happy and, consequently, yourself.

If you were God, and all were your children, what would you do, and how would you do it?

If you were a benefactor to all on Earth, what would you be thinking about?

If you could really accept what you are made of and what you are here for on Earth, how would you be different? Why aren’t you it now? There is no future in putting off the inevitable. The inevitable is your giving joy. The more joy you give, the more joyous you are.

You have put the cart before the horse. You have been looking to receive love when it is your place to give it. Can I say it more clearly than that?

This is not to say that you make yourself a martyr. It isn’t that everyone comes before you. It’s just that you recognize yourself in others. You are not a patsy. Others do not rule you. You rule yourself. You may think you are giving someone else a break. You may think you are giving someone else a gift.

You are giving yourself a break. You are giving yourself a gift. The gift of kindness you give is the natural next step. You do not give over yourself. You give of yourself.

Maybe your kindness sometimes is not to have to let those you find unlovely know that you find them unlovely. You don’t have to be their best friend. You can shed a little light on them. That’s all.

And when your heart is full for some people, don’t repress yourself. Enlighten yourself.

It is natural for you to love. You are not trying to make amends. You are not trying to get a high score. You simply are being Who you really are when you are done with the shackles that bind you.

HEAVEN #3734 What Is It You Cry For, Beloveds, February 14, 2011

God said:

Sadness soothes you. Let’s admit that. You apply sadness sometimes like a salve. You take comfort from all your sad thoughts. Even when they make you cry, you apply your thoughts and find a reassuring comfort. This is okay, you know. What you have to do is to admit this.

Even your sense of guilt carries sweetness. Even your loneliness carries sweetness. You like feeling. You like feeling sadness. Don’t protest. If you didn’t like it, you wouldn’t conjure it so much. Let those tears slide from your eyes. Reap the sadness, and let it go where all sadness goes. It gets purified and flows back again. It gets sweeter and sweeter.

Don’t deny this. You take comfort in what was and is no more. And, yet, what I wish to convey to you, is that the lost events and people you miss exist as much now as they ever did. It’s just that you can’t go back to the time and physical existence they offered. Of course, at the time, the events and people maybe didn’t give you the comfort you take from them now.

And, so, in your very human way, you try to pick up the stitch you dropped so long ago. You were in such a hurry that you didn’t know you had dropped a stitch until you were long past it. So what is it that you cry for, beloveds? For whom is your sadness? It is for you that you cannot mend what you once did not know enough then to prevent and cannot mend now no matter how much you wish to, no matter how much you wish you had once.

The life you passed by so quickly once upon a time, you would get down on your knees to now. You would kiss away tears you once caused another. You would kiss away your complicity in a play you would now act out differently.

Kiss away your own tears now. Bless yourself, and get up off your knees. The sadness of your long-gone past is fleeing. Of course, that very flight contributes to your sadness too. It is another cause for you to be sad that you can’t quite so completely hold on to the sadness that you once held so close to you. Oh, no, you are even losing your total sadness.

Of course, you also have qualms for the future, yet, rather than sadness, qualms for the future may tend to be more like dread. Certainly, sadness is preferable to dread.
Now I suggest that you have gladness for the past and for the future, why not?

For the past, why not be glad that you care? Why not be glad that now you have grown and can see now from a greater perspective than you did then. You would, if you could, go back and change how you reacted back then, but, beloveds, you can’t. You can only tip your hat and say, “Sorry. I’m sorry now. I would love every minute with you now. What an oaf I was not to love every moment with you then. I could kick myself.

Now you are very tender to me, and you bring out all the sweetness in me that I was not aware of then and am so acutely aware of now. And so I have grown, and you whom I miss have been part of my growth. I thank you for all that I learned from you.

I’m sorry it took me so long to learn. May you know my love now. Maybe you always knew, and I’m the only one who didn’t.

“As for the future, let me forgive myself and let go of events and everybody right now, and regrets will cease to exist.”

Heavenletters #3738 It Is All an Idea, February 18, 2011

HEAVEN #3738 It Is All an Idea, February 18, 2011

God said:

When you have the sense that you are overdoing, no one makes you. No situation makes you. If you are doing too much, stretching yourself too thin, overextending yourself, no one and no situation makes you. You are under your own steam. You are not imprisoned nor do you have to be under someone else’s will.

By and large, no one is overdoing. For the most part, My children who feel they are doing too much are living with the idea that they are doing too much. The idea alone is enough to stretch you beyond your limits. It is all an idea.

There is no too much except as the idea says that there is. The idea has you in its grips. Somehow you gleaned the idea that you are doing more than you can do. That idea has taken hold. And life becomes too much for you. The idea is enough to do you in. Ideas can be expansive. Ideas can also constrict, squeeze, hamper, disengage, and make themselves come true. Sometimes no ideas are best.

Remember the true story of a tiny woman who was able to lift a car off her child? She never would have attempted it except to save her child’s life. On an ordinary day, she wouldn’t have had the incentive. In addition, she would have convinced herself beforehand that it was impossible for her to lift a car. That day she did lift the car, she had an incentive. And what was her incentive on that day? It was love.

If she had tried to lift the car in order to win a million dollars, her love for a million dollars would not have given her the strength. It must be, then, that love of money is not love. Or it is a watered-down love. Love of a child is another story. You can be sure the mother wasn’t thinking: “Am I strong enough?” There was no thought between the need, her impulse, and the deed.

When you have the sense from day to day that you are overdoing, you may have to slow down, not because you are overdoing, but because your mind told you so. Your mind may have told you that you are giving more than you are getting, that you are wearing yourself out for nothing because you are not seeing the appreciation in whatever form you require it.

The child saved by the mother did not have to repay the mother with even a word. That the child lived was all the reward the mother wanted. That the child could breathe, the mother could breathe, and her heart could be so grateful.

If you find yourself even slightly overworked and overwrought, it is likely that your mind has told you that you are not fully appreciated, and you have chosen to go by that idea. You have chosen to be an under-appreciated overworked martyr.

Perhaps you cannot bring yourself to say no. Perhaps you have another idea in your mind, the idea that you must be all wonderful, that you must be everything to everyone. Unless you believed that, you would be able to say no when warranted without blinking an eye.

The same mother who lifted the car to save her child’s life would not give her child every toy car the child reached out for. If she did, she would be placating her own image, the idea that she is a perfect all-loving mother.

Many people have to learn to say Yes, and many other people have to learn to say No. And many have to learn when to say Yes and when to say No.

If you are too stretched, you have chosen the stretching. You are responsible. No one but you.
