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

God said:


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

HEAVEN #3993 Make Peace Now, October 31, 2011

God said:


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

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

God said:


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


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


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


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


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


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


I would say to you now the same.


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


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


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


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

HEAVEN #4051 Without Time, There Would Be No Loss, December 28, 2011

God said:


Know that it is all right to feel sad. Sadness, too, is a part of life. It is the passage of time you mourn. You mourn the tick-tock of time. So long as time is the fiction of your life, sadness will be.


If you could fathom time as the continuum you are on, if you could fathom time as timeless, if you could fathom that there is no passage of time, no increments to it, no past, no future, only a beautiful valley of no time at all, sadness would not be rife in your life.


What would there be to be sad about? Nothing would be gone. All would be present.


You would know there is no death. You would know that there is only life. It is not even that life would be perpetual because perpetuity signifies a possible sequence. There is no sequence, beloveds. Life is all at once.


Just as I am Oneness, there is nothing but Oneness. Time is separateness. Time is elusive. Timelessness is Heaven.


Time opens up the idea of loss and lostness. Nothing is ever lost. Only in the morass of time can even the concept of loss exist. Time slips away. Time catches up to you. Time taps you on the shoulder. Time drums the concept of absence into you. Time keeps you in its thrall. Time bundles your life. Time ties a knot around your life, and time throws it away.


If you could know, really know, that no one and nothing is ever lost, not at a loss. Loss, like time, is a myth perpetuated upon you. It is a myth, yet a deeply accepted myth. A myth accepted is acted on as if true. It might as well be true.


You presently live on Earth in the dimensions of space and time. The Truth is that there are no dimensions. There is no size. There is no distance. Clocks are arbitrary. When All is Oneness, where can time and space exist? They exist not.


The physical depends upon time and space for its existence. The physical is naturally important to you, and so you count time and space as material to your existence. Nevertheless, you exist out of time and space. And yet you call life outside of time and space as existencelessness. You call it death, or you call it pre-birth, or you call it finality.


When time does not star in life, there can be no finality. There is no end to anything but the configurations of time and space that you have so well believed in and held onto for dear life.


Life is irrespective of time and space. Only in time and space can you conceive of yourself as loveless or anything of the kind. Love is truly dimensionless. You think you live in a dimensioned world with all of its science and fact whereas, in Truth, you are Eternal Infinite Love. You figure rightly that I am not shaped into a form. You do know that I, God, am boundless. You have an idea of Spirit. You are Spirit. For a time, in the myth of time, you live in a form, and you call that life, as you live in a form. Yet a form has no life unless there is Spirit in it, yet Spirit is infinite and eternal. No wonder you feel stifled in a human body. Physical breathing is not the breath of you. You are irrespective of breath, pulse, blood pressure and so on. Atoms are atoms. Spirit is Spirit. You are way beyond atoms and time and space. You are love seeded on Earth. You are My love seeded on Earth. Enjoy this temporary life on Earth and know that there is nothing temporary about you. You are not your body. You are not your body. You are not your body.

HEAVEN #4066 Chewy Caramels, January 12, 2012

God said:


To all a good day. And why not? What trappings of the world do you allow to keep you back from having a good day?


So, you're in a bad mood? Should a bad mood keep you from having a good day, a glorious day, an illustrious shining beautiful day? Why would you allow this?


So, something happened that brought you down. Something you didn't want to happen happened, and you feel sunk.


Regardless, can you not accept the possibility that you are the maker of your day? If you are in a bad mood, must you be? Must your mood ravage your day? Must events rule your day? Must a word or someone's sidelong glance at you ruin your day?


The real question is: Must you ruin your day?


There are days when you feel on the outs with everyone and yourself. There are days when you are fed up with everything. Beloveds, can you not be fed up with being fed up? What if I am tickling you under your chin, will you not smile? Why not smile, I ask you?


Of course, your lips and smiling muscles are the same. You are not incapacitated from smiling. It must be a choice you make. Who would choose a day without smiles? Who would deliberately choose a bad day? Who would take a bad day lying down? Who would accept it as if you had no say in how you receive your day?


Do you let someone else or something else choose the day you will have?


You do not have all the say about your life, yet you have a choice to smile. Smile inside, beloveds. Whatever you are going through doesn't last forever. True, a bad mood will go away by itself, and yet you can shoo it away sooner.


You are always saying you don't want to suffer, and yet you seemingly gladly suffer through a day.


If you are in the doldrums, get up and out of the doldrums. You can get out of a chair you are sunk in, why not get out of the doldrums?


If you have one kind of mood, you can have another.


Consider your mood like a card you pick from a deck. You don't like the card you receive? Well, then, put it down and choose another.


Consider your mood like when you are shopping for something. You don't find what you want in the first store? Well, then, you go to a second store. You don't have to settle on something that isn't what you really want.


Consider your mood like a box of chocolates that arrive. You open the box. You like the caramels. The first chocolate you bite into is one of the chocolates with a creamy paste inside. Not your first choice. You don't have to eat it, or, if you are someone who has to eat every bite, go ahead and eat it and then move along. There are some wonderful chewy caramels in that box. They're just waiting for you to find them.


When I say choose the kind of day you are going to have, I mean just that. Maybe the day you want is high up on a shelf, and you feel you can't reach it. Stand on something then so you can reach it.


A bad mood does not have to translate into a bad day. They do not have to be synonymous. Be a quick-change artist. Step into a new mood, and hurry up about it. Get out there on that stage of a day and make your day what you want it to be.


To all, a good day.

HEAVEN #4068 Your Soul Is Made in My Image, January 14, 2012

God said:


How I love you. How much I love you. I can love you with the Vastness I do because I love Myself. Because I love Myself, I can love what is called you because I love Myself, and you are Myself on a little jaunt out to a bordered world. Of course, I AM Love Myself. I am Love. And you, that which We imagine as you, are also Love.


We have no borders, you and I. We have Wholeness. We have Oneness. In imagination, We go somewhere, even when there is nowhere to go.


We could say that We are assimilated, and yet Oneness cannot be assimilated. Oneness Is.


And, so, in fiction, We are separate, and what you perceive as your journey off somewhere, oh, to a deserted island perhaps, a deserted island of yourself. This has to be fiction, imagination, for We are One. And yet, as a cartoon character might, you scamper off on an adventure that is taken seriously yet is a jaunt. Life, as you live it on Earth, could be compared to a child's playing with a little paper boat on the edge of a pond.


By no means am I taking away from you the seriousness of how life seems, how it seems like a matter of life and death to you. Even as We know that there is only life and there is no death, the drama you are in certainly feels monumental. It certainly feels real, and so you react as though it were real.


You know by now that the seeming solidity of the physical is not real. There is only fluidity. There is only timelessness and spacelessness. There is only Vastness. There is nowhere you can go and only Eternity to be in. How wonderful.


Life in the world is like a camera that takes photos, one picture here, another picture there. All the camera shots are taken of a mutually-agreed-upon illusion. They can be bound in a book, and one book after another, and, yet, there is no boundedness. What is real cannot be photographed, and what cannot be photographed is Eternal, and it is Infinite. There is only you. That is to say only I. Only! I am the most wonderful thing ever conceived and so are you, even though We were never conceived. We have been. Rather, it would be better to say, "We are. I am Isness, and you, the thought of you, is Isness as well. We are Being. We are Beingness. That is, I am Beingness, and you are I. There is no separate you. All that is not real is illusion. And there is One Singular Reality.


I AM. God IS. And where does that leave the mythical you, beloveds?


I could say that you are My body. Surely, you are an embodiment of Me. Made in My Image, you seem like a body. Clearly, your body is not made in an image of Me, so it must be your Soul that is in My image.


Image is a word.


And you, the heart and soul of you, are real, for I AM your Heart and Soul, and you are the Heart and Soul of Me.


We call your Heart human, and your Soul Divine. You are My Divine Soul sauntering around unreal Earth, in an unreal human body, and the reason is so that you can meld into the awareness of Oneness. Oneness never changed. Awareness did, and now you return to Awareness that All That Is is you. All That Is is I. And I talk to Myself.

HEAVEN #4094 Love and Release, February 9, 2012

God said:


From the corridors of your heart, love engages. Love flows beautifully, naturally, and only starts and stops when there is blockage to it. What can a blockage be? What can interrupt love other than an interference from the mind?


Love is not meant to be like putting your finger on a hot stove. You are not meant to hurt yourself when you give love. Your love unrequited is not to be interrupted as a reprimand to your love. You misunderstood what happened. You told yourself an incorrect story. You told yourself to be careful when you discovered that your love is not always valued. You bought that story very quickly. You didn't even have to know words in order to grasp that story. "Be careful with love," was what you adopted. "Watch out to whom and where and when you give love from your heart."


You took love as a personal thing. You took someone else's ability or inability to give out love at a particular time and place as an affront to you. Personal love is one thing. Love is another.


A young child has a teddy bear. That one teddy bear is his. He loves that teddy bear. He has to have that teddy bear. No other will do.


Is this not how personal love is in the world? No other love will do but the one you took as your own and nobody else's. When someone has not focused his or her love on you, be it mother or father, sister or brother, playmate and so on, you have drawn back your love, frozen it somewhat, ordered your love to turn itself into disappointment or a demerit on you. You tend to confuse your love with someone else's.


You can send out love that is not personal. You can send out love from afar. You won't snuggle up to someone who may not want to snuggle up with you, yet there is far more to love than physical presence. Your love depends on you and not on anyone else.


I am not suggesting that you carry a torch for someone who doesn't want your torch of love. I am suggesting that you not turn the object of your once-held love into resentment or disagreeableness. Love alights where it alights and, sometimes, even in the sunlight of your love, another's love has flown. Still, stay in love, not in a stranglehold of love, but love like a nice star in the sky. Send love. Truly, what else is there to send? Just your love. Not professions of your love but love itself, love that naturally is in your heart to give when you do not claim ownership.


Sometimes when what you determine as a full share of love due you is not given to you, you become angry or even vengeful. Love does not make demands. You say you love, and yet you stamp your foot when your picture of personal love does not become true or stay true. Take your foot off the pedal, beloveds. Be easy with love. Let another's affection for you be or not be. What is is. You cannot whip into existence what is not.


Let your hold on love go. You do not grab love by the ankles and try to keep it to you no matter what. Love is given. It cannot be owed to you. What you have to do is to give love out. Another's love is not a heifer you rope in.


In the world, everyone wants a special love. Everyone wants to be a special love. Everyone wants to mean something to someone or everyone. Beloveds, intend to be love and not ache. Be willing to love and be willing to let go. Love and release. Love and release. If you want to hold on to a love, you have to let it go.

Heavenletter #4170 Wouldn't You Like to Hear God's Voice, April 25, 2012

God said:


I am speaking to you all the time. Hear My Voice. It is in everything. I whisper your name. Your name is Love, and I call you to Me. So, come along. Would you really keep Me waiting?


I am patient, and I can wait. I know not time to wait in. I just AM. I AM sitting still and wondering about all your motion and activity. I know you are on your way to Me. I would hasten you for your sake, for, to be without Me, is not fun. It is intolerable, and yet you tolerate your absenting yourself from closeness with Me. Yet, even as you absent yourself, you are here with Me. You have turned yourself into something you are not, and this is how you displease yourself.


I am ever happy with you. I love you. I loved you the day you were born into the world, for We are friends from before time began. We are the Original. We are Oneness. You have vacated yourself from Our Established Oneness and sought particles. You took a magnifying glass and ventured into the Forest and Jungles of Life. What can life, without awareness of My Presence, be but a forest or jungle, depending upon climate?


And what can you be, without awareness of My Presence, but a lonely escapee from awareness? Enough of that. Come, present yourself to Me. Walk right in. Step right up to Me and say:


"God, here I am. You say I have always been right before you, yet I lagged in awareness. I lag in it still. Give me You. Give me all the awareness of You that You say is mine. Give me it right now.


"Show Yourself to me. Reveal Yourself to me. If, in order for You to be revealed to me, You have to open my heart, then, God, please open my heart.


"God, if You have to, push Your way into my heart so that I will know Your Presence and never let go of my awareness again. Bring my heart to Yours. Can that be hard for You to do?


"Am I so willful that I would absent myself from a Great Kingdom and a Great Presence such as yours? Am I such a fool as to let go of Your hand? Am I?


"Then, God, if I am unable to take Your hand, will You take my hand and put it in Yours? Your hand is so great, Your heart is so great that You can embrace me, squeeze me so that I cannot make a mistake about Our closeness ever again, so that I can never let Your hand go again, so that I can never be out of my awareness of Your Presence. Give me You, God. Give me You right now. Give me entry into Heaven, and never let me be out of Your Kingdom, which, You tell me, is also mine.


"You say I am already there. How can I not know it then? How can I not carry You with me for every second of Earth Life? If You are mine, help me to know that You are mine and that I am Yours.


"You tell me there is no difference, yet I seem to know only difference. I don't experience Oneness with You. How can that be?


"You say that it is I who allows that to be. I want You. I crave You. And yet I do not feel You. I do not always even believe in You, God. Surely, I want to. I want You to be mine, and I want to be Yours. Help me to wake up. Will You do that, God, will You? What is Your answer to me?"


Yes. I say Yes, and now, My beloved, it is for you to say Yes.
