Love Yourself Enough to Manifest the Dreams of What You Want Through Creation Not Skill or Hard Work

Love Yourself Enough to Play With Creation

 

Dear Ones,

Perhaps you are pining for a certain something or someone. You have stated your intent to yourself and others – and accepted that you have the right to create what you want. Yet nothing changes or happens. Why are you the only one who does not seem to know how to create? What are you missing? What is holding you back or down?

Nothing other than your fears. That statement makes many of you quite angry for you have cleared for seemingly eons. Such is not the case, but we regress.

Deep within your being, you have the belief that if you receive what you truly want there will be nothing to work for. And ‘work for’ is the correct phrase for you continue to think of creating as work instead of play.

When you were a child did you not decide to be a fireman one day and a ballerina the next – and wasn’t a cowboy in there somewhere? You did not fret about whether you deserved to have what you wanted. Nor did you worry about not having the right skills or living in the right part of the world. You merely wished for and most often created that dream from cast off clothing or just your imagination. All was play and all was erased the moment you had a new dream or thought.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know, What Are You Afraid Of? - Heavenletter #4774

God Asks You a Question

Heavenletter #: 4774

December 20, 2013

What is it you are afraid of? You don’t even know, not really. You are afraid of possibilities, poverty, old age, loneliness, ill health, your death, death of others, and life. You fear life. You fear developments. You accumulate inadequacies. What are you afraid of, dear ones?

And what do you want? What would make you happy?

You may answer that if so and so loved you, you would be happy. Yet that would not be enough. Love on Earth, your dream of it, may have escaped you. You think of your dream, perhaps, as winning, as victory, and yet individual love, in the long run, is not always fulfilling or fulfilling enough.

You intellectually know that financial wealth is not enough to give you happiness. You already know that and yet you covet wealth as if it were the answer to all that you find difficult. I bless you to have wealth. In the long run, you with wealth and you without wealth are the same.

It is you yourself who is difficult. You and you alone stand in the way of your own happiness. Perhaps you are a pouter. Even if all your desires were fulfilled in your lifetime, you might feel: “Why didn’t they come sooner? Why did I have to wait so long for them? Why did I have to go without them for so long and struggle for them? Why couldn’t I have had happiness anyway?”

And that is what I ask you: “Why couldn’t you have been happier sooner with or without whatever you wanted? Why couldn’t your own love be enough? Why did you set up barriers to your loving yourself? Why did you put off happiness, making it dependent upon this or that?”

Perhaps you delay happiness now. What prevents you from happiness? Why do you feel or have you felt that it is beyond you? What makes you think that your happiness is dependent upon something outside you when your happiness is dependent upon you?

Why does someone’s lack of love for you trail you and run before you? What are you running from and what are you running to?

Never mind what is around the corner. What is with you now?

If you really believed that time is not real, would you wait for another time to hold happiness in your heart?

What are you waiting for?

Certainly, it always seems that if only you had this…or if only you had that… you would be happy, deliriously happy, yet would you?

What is this factor called happiness and why, oh, why, don’t you already have it?

I say it is yours. I say you can have it. You say you chase it, and it eludes you.

Where is this Bluebird of Happiness? It is said to be in your own backyard.

You may already have it and be the last to know. You may have hidden it from yourself. Happiness exists, and it exists within you, and all you have to do is to pull it out from where you put it. Happiness is yours. Admit it. Usher it into your heart.

If you were to be happy right now, what would have to be different? Only you, beloved. Only you. You would have to see differently. You would have to notice your good fortune.

And, yet, you ask yourself different things. You may ask yourself: “How can I be homeless and happy?”

What if you removed thoughts just like that and changed them to: “I can be homeless and happy. Having a home wasn’t enough to keep me happy, why does absence of anything have to make me unhappy?”

Beloveds, what are you looking for? Happiness or unhappiness? What do you find? Happiness or unhappiness? What bedtime stories do you tell yourself?

What if you could be happy or happy enough to last a day? If you can have happiness one day, why not another? And another and another.

Why hang on to unhappiness when you could have happiness? Why, oh, why, I ask you.

Worry is Not a Noble Act, Unconditional Love is

Worry is a habit that so many indulge in, not recognizing how energetically stagnating it is. People mistakenly think that worrying is noble, that it equates love for another, and it is somehow helpful to their path. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Worry indicates a lack of faith. It comes from a place of perceived powerlessness. It is born from fear and doubt. It keeps people stuck, disempowered and uncomfortable. Worry is simply letting the least empowered part of you take over and trying to create from there. It is like trying to run a race while sitting in quicksand.

Once you realize that you have an infinite ability to create the life of your dreams, worry becomes a thing of the past. Rather than waking with trepidation, you excitedly embrace each day, wondering what new wonders will show themselves to you. It is like waiting for a package to arrive in the mail. There is no need to fear it because you know exactly what you ordered.

Love Has No Limits - Climb the Heights of Love and Never Fall Off - Heavenletter #4752

Climb the Heights of Love and Never Fall Off

Heavenletter #4752  November 28, 2013

 

God said: 

If you cannot believe in yourself, at least believe in Me. What are you fearful of losing if you transfer your belief in trouble to belief in Me? You would gain awareness of My Presence, and you would lose the fear of loss and your belief in loss. What can you lose when you have Me ticking in your heart or beating a tom-tom that resounds through your reflective heart and through the soul of the world? When you have Me deep in your consciousness, how necessary are these other fleeting awarenesses?

It is one thing to want. It is another thing for you to have to have. You sometimes feel you have to have love from this one or that one when you do not, and, yet, you are inconsolable.

Truly, beloveds, the outside world is nice and meaningful and engaging, something like TV, yet you don’t always have to have it on. There is life without all the periphery. Having to have is a bee in your bonnet. You will live without everything you deem essential. You will even live very well without it.

I will not say that you cannot have everything. I do say that you are not dependent upon having everything you desire. Desire is an impetus for fulfillment. It is not the sunrise and the sunset. Fulfillment of your desires is often not the fulfillment you thought it would be. You thought it would be monumental, yet with or without what you want or even think you must absolutely must have, life goes on just the same.

There is nothing you own, certainly not the emotions of those you see as others. Nor are you dependent upon all those aspects of yourself that you call others. Love yourself, and see how the world turns then. Perhaps you are the one who has to turn around, and then the world, like the board game, goes past you.

Love others as yourself, and then you do love yourself. Love yourself, and your love will know no bounds. Love is without boundaries. Love does not require boundaries, new or old. That’s what it means to say that love is boundless. Love is unlimited. Love builds upon itself. Love is not dependent upon this or that, a pretty face or a large purse. Love is independent. Love is. Love sees itself. Love finds itself, and freedom rings. From whence comes your happiness, beloveds? Happiness comes from within you, just where love comes from. Love is a constant. It is not an intermittent on and off thing. Love is its own awareness. It stays.

It is not that love settles for whatever. Love expands and expands and keeps on expanding. Love is a beautiful rose blooming. You are a rose of love, and you have it within you to climb the heights of love and never fall off. Love doesn’t peak. It doesn’t cease. Love keeps moseying along. Follow love, and you are led to yourself and all the expansion you desire. Love is the leader. Love leads the way. The way is love. Love throws rose petals in your path. All roads lead to love. Dispense with accumulation. Progress with setting yourself free.

Bless those you would love or have loved and all those who once loved you. There is no you, remember? You are greater than an individual, and you would not hoard even one other. Set everyone free. Then see the love come running to you. You are the subject. There really are no objects. None. There are also no goals to love, for love is its own goal. Love is the lover, the loved, and the whole process, if it can be called a process. There is a movement of love in the world. Love is moving up. Love is coming into its own.

Under the Canopy of God's Heart - Heavenletter #4745

Under the Canopy of God’s Heart

Heavenletter #4745

November 21, 2013 

God said:

You, My children, tend to think in terms of gain and loss and, so, in terms of cost and percent. You expend energy, and the energy you expend is expensive, and so you think in terms of expense. At the same time as you run all over the place and gain muscle, shall We say, you also sit on the sidelines and watch the goings-on as through a window.

In one sense, there is free entry to this theater of life. In another sense, you are let in and out of Earth and Heaven free, yet it seems to you that you have to pay a high rate for parking, as if you were a car in a garage, driven in and out from inside and outside at will. Sometimes you don’t know where you are or whether you are in or out. You stumble and you stride alike, embarrassed, sort of as if you don’t belong anywhere and never did.

Despite your impressions, you are full-time with Me, and I with you. You are under the canopy of My heart. Our hearts beat as One. And, so, holy are you who seemingly walk around on Earth, worrying about this and that, when there is no need to get caught up in worry.

“No need?!!” you exclaim. “I have bills to pay and children to feed!”

Self-Doubt is Your Ego Taking The Lead - Give Yourself the Love You Deserve

Give Yourself the Love You Deserve

Doubt has a way of creeping into your head just when you are about to step forward doing a task that requires a certain amount of effort and focus, and the words you may hear, “You can’t do it” is heard. The fear of failing what you are working hard to complete begins to eat away at your confidence and faith in your own abilities. Taunting words always seem to arrive out of nowhere, creating a lot of havoc within your mental and emotional faculties. No matter what your goal is, when these taunting words come, they get stronger and more controlling and before you know it you begin to think critically of your own efforts and potential of not completing a certain task. Beautiful Ones, you really do know you mustn’t allow these self-doubt lingering and sabotaging thoughts to bother you as much as they do. You have many barriers in place to protect yourself, yet still self-doubt is able to wiggle its way in.

Remember where your doubt comes from, it is part of the Ego, it the part that uses your fears against you, trying to control the situation and to prevent you from moving forward successfully. When self-doubt gets a good hold on you, it can be very greedy. It tackles your confidence, removes good logic and your ability to reason. Before you know it the greedy self-doubt has replaced your happiness with fear and the overwhelming feeling of insecurity.

Overcoming self-doubt can be quite a challenge. We know Beautiful Ones you try forcing self-doubt out with positive thoughts and they seem to work on the surface, but underneath self-doubt is still there lying in wait. It is a hard fight against your self-doubt and many times it leaves you weakened and you give in to its hungry pull. There is a way out, there always is. By attaining more self-knowledge and deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you, you begin to shrink self-doubt and take back the power it took from you and your confidence and faith in yourself begins to rise to healthy levels once again. Learn to use self-doubt for your own advantage.

True Love Does Not Come From Romantic Relationships, It Comes From Within

Embrace Your Own Affection and Appreciation

Above all decisions you will make in your life Beautiful Ones the most important one will be when you finally decide to commit to loving yourself and to accepting yourself just as you are. How you think of yourself does affect all relationships, affects the quality of your work, your Faith and of course your future. The more positive and loving you are towards yourself, everything else benefits. The question is Beautiful Ones, why is this so difficult for many to do?

So much of you journey thus far has been waiting for love to come to you – many are out searching and feeling empty without this sacredness that is already within you. There are many romanticized concepts regarding love, but many of them refrain from mentioning one important aspect of love and that my dears is having self-respect. Being able to respect yourself is the only definable way to develop love in your own life and with others. We know many dear souls create fantasies out of the feelings they have towards another and many times these fantasies do not fulfill their need to be loved and they end up feeling worse because of the expectations that have been added to the experience. Understand dear ones in order to be loved, it is essential to truly love and respect yourself equally as much as you do others. Make a point to consciously understand the short term and long term effects of loving yourself and this positive change will enhance your ability to love others. By taking positive loving action, you will enable positive and loving energy to enter your life stream that will help to create greater situations to occur. Have faith in the process of learning to love yourself. You have spent so long denying your true self, you have gone out of your way avoiding your own truth and that truth Beautiful Ones is that you are worthy of your own love and respect. By allowing yourself to accept your own love and respect you begin to grow beyond any previous conceived imagination. Understand dear ones, your journey is never for nothing, you have a purpose. The more you learn to love and respect yourself; your purpose becomes that much clearer. End the need to please everyone just so they like you, begin working on liking yourself and bringing that like into Love and Respect.

In God You Trust

God said: 

There is the expression – a leap of faith. Faith is not a leap. Faith is faith, or it is not. I do not say that I have a leap of faith in you. I know you better than you know yourself, so My faith in you is intact. As sure as, in the world, as day follows night, My faith in you is. It is no leap. It is no little jump. What you might call faith is My knowing. I know Who you are, Why you are. I know you ARE.

It is not an exaggeration to say that, if you fall, I catch you. You do not know how many times I have caught you before a fall. On the other hand, from your observation post, you do see people who, to your eyes, are not caught in advance. They do fall. Events such as death of the body, considered the worst of all, happens and other such sorties as illness, accidents, mishaps, happens. How can it be said that God always catches you when, at any moment, anything can befall. There are occasions such as tsunamis and tornadoes or a car skids.

When Love Takes Over Fear Disappears - Heavenletter # 4722

Love Soars and Fear Disappears

Heavenletter #: 4722

October 29, 2013

Your mind and your habits of thinking signal to you that that there is difficulty. Regardless of what befalls, you would be problem-free if you had not so well-learned the concept of difficulty. You would be as free as a bird if you had not learned well that life is composed of difficulties and you have to be on the alert. How well you learned danger and aversion to it. It is as if you planted an alarm within you, an alarm that alerts you constantly.

You were born into a world that taught you ideas of right and wrong, and that challenges in life were wrong, unbidden, unfavored, as if you were not to grow, as if there were a limit set on growth, as if life were to expand so far and no further, that safety was primary and living life really was to be avoided, averted, opposed to you.

There is no doubt about it. You can look at life as though it were treacherous and uncalled for. You can look at injustice and cruelty. They are not hard for you to see. And so you make judgment. All this judgment was cultured into you. You were not born with it. You were born innocent. You were born with the prediction of goodness and care. You were born to thrive and not to retire from life as it comes, as it happens.

What if, as a child, you knew only love and did not become acquainted with fear? What if you were not confined and made to cry? What if you were greeted totally with love and encouragement and knew nothing else?

This does not mean you would be savage or spoiled. You would have your own way in the sense that love is your way. What if there were no repression, no punishment, no correction except for love?

What health you would have, what vision, what joy in life. Joy in life is what you would have learned and what you would give unabashedly. What happiness, what laughter, what consideration. How you would embrace life and be embraced by it.

Alas, this is not how life has been cultured, and, so now, culture well-being for yourself. Love yourself now. Put balm on your wounds, and heal them. Be good-natured once again, and be good-natured to yourself.

The world found fault with you. You have had enough of the concept of fault. There is no fault except a stamp imposed upon you. Love blossoms you, and yet love finds no fault to improve. With more love, the concept of being improved would not exist. Not even approval would exist. There would be no need for it. Nothing would have to be made better. What for? You are a beautiful viable human being who, too often, was being improved, and that may have been to your detriment. Disapproved of, you were not improved. You were hampered.

Where is freedom when you are cramped? Perhaps your sense of self-worth wasn’t allowed to grow as your feet might not if they were always cramped in too tight shoes. Everyone has awareness of not cramping the body, yet when it comes to heart, cramping may be the order of the day.

Let there be an end to this. Substitute enjoyment, laughter, appreciation instead. Let everyone be free. With freedom, there would be no need for license. There would be no need of recrimination or going too far. There would not even be need for love because love would soar on its own. All would come down to the knowledge that love is all, and that is all there is. What a comfort that would be. Love would be like a warm quilt in winter, and it would be a fair breeze in summer. Love would soar, and fear would disappear.

Then you would be able to look at the world and say that all is good, for good is all you would know.

Acknowledge The Advantages of New Direction

Acknowledge The Advantages of New Direction

No matter how hard you try to avoid change, change is inevitable and always constant. How each dear soul responds and reacts to change does carry cause and effect onto their personal performance in every area of their life and the outcomes they are hoping to achieve.

By avoiding change, even if you are unaware that you go out of your way to maintain all things in your life to stay exactly the same – never changing; therefore puts your own development and growth out of alignment with all that moves and lives within your environment. Many times this occurs unconsciously due to a deeply imbedded need to keep everything safe and secure – stepping into the unknown can be a frightful experience, one that requires great bravery and courage. This kind of inaction will result in discomfort and many times create tension not only within your physical body but in many areas of your life. If your own behaviours, emotions and feelings are not aligned with the new directions that are crossing your path, then you become dear ones off course and less productive.

What makes change so frightening is different from one person to the other but mainly it’s the dynamics of the situation that creates the fear and need to retreat where it’s the same and safe. We know how difficult it can be to step beyond your comfort zone and embrace change with confidence, but the more often you do the better your outcomes will be. Innovation and change is part of your modern world. It cannot be avoided; therefore we encourage you to embrace the changes that are coming, even the ones that pose to be difficult. See them as advantages to become more knowledgeable and where you are able to shine your authentic self in every step.

Change is change…it makes little difference what is changing, it is how you respond that makes the difference, and how you respond does affect your performance and the outcome you are looking to achieve. It is much easier to flow through the changes with a positive attitude, ready to take on what is in front of you. Even your body language, self-talk and interaction with others will reflect how you are coping with any change.

Of course there will be situations that you will adapt more easily to than others, and we know some will be very difficult, but when you willingly and consciously step forward with a constructive manner you are demonstrating you are willing to adapt and accept all changes that waiting for you to acknowledge. We encourage each of you to be more positive towards the direction any change may involve. Make sure you truly understand without any doubt what you can or cannot control within any circumstance and realize dear ones that disruptions are natural and part of any change or new direction – they are what helps you to expand your comfort zones where you are given opportunities to be creative within any changes that you are working through. Accept that there is always more than one way to do something, learn of innovative ideas that resonate with you and make them work within your current situation and don’t be shy to make use of your own personal strength. You have always been strong and each change that you have passed through is your proof.

Having a good attitude during any changes or sudden new directions will help to enhance your overall performance and results. If you are able to respond and react positively to any change, then you are able to grow and develop as the unique individuals each of you are. We ask you to think back to an experience where you were with a positively minded person and how that felt. Was their energy fun, and high spirited? Even when dealing with difficult choices that require great changes to take effect, having a positive attitude will help make the transition easier. The dear souls that are able to maintain a healthy positive attitude while dealing with difficult decisions don’t allow themselves to grow a negative thought, they understand the power of faith and make use of it every moment in each day, not just during prayer. Being positive in mind and spirit is a choice dear ones and even though this choice requires a great deal of energy to continue, it keeps you on target of whatever goal you are aiming to accomplish.

We observe often that for many dear souls it is much easier to be negative than positive. We have seen so many attempt at being positive and as soon as another difficult challenge enters the picture their positive demeanor vanishes and is replaced with fear and uncertainty once again. At any time your positive attitude is reversed and negativity sets in, the power that is lost is by you allowing this to occur. You may not be able to control everything that comes your way, because that is how change and challenges work, they come often unexpected. Don’t allow a difficult challenge turn your attitude upside down. You hold the power to control this part of yourself. It is up to you each time if you are going to give any situation the power to control you.

It is understood that life in general for most dear souls is like a never-ending roller coaster, but it doesn’t have to be viewed this way. Negative thoughts come and they go. They have the ability to attract more negativity and discord into your life if you allow them. It is also understood that none of your negative thinking or self-talk comes from God. He does not promote negative actions, He encourages you to practice self-love and self-compassion, to heal yourself during times of doubt and despair and to remember to lean on Him during such times…allowing Him to come to you so He may shine His Brilliant Light down upon you and wrap you up in His infinite Love.

There are always ways to cope through any transition that will help you to leave the negative behind for more positive choices and outcomes. We trust completely that with your ability to explore you will discover ways that fit your personal style that will help bring you out of any disharmonic emotion or feeling and back to feeling positive and optimistic.

In the meantime, we encourage you to pay attention to what you are thinking about. Determine if your thoughts are negative, even if they are just slightly negative they still hold disharmony and negative actions and words are still holding form. When you realize your actions, words, thoughts, feelings and even your will is holding any amount of negativity you have not only the possibility but the capability to control your thoughts and replace each negative thought with a positive one. This is a learning process and it does become easier with practice. Try not to be too hard on yourself or to expect perfection over-night. The development of you takes time, lots of love and care.

We also encourage you to stop listening to other people’s negative attitudes; they have the ability of effecting your own and often carry toxic energy that will bring down your own. If this means you might need to find new people to interact with that are positive minded then that dear ones is a choice we encourage you to take. Being around negative people will not help you to become more positive or remain positive.

We know you want to make changes that will bring about new directions for you to take upon your journey. Make a list of the changes you wish to see and work on them one at a time. We know you are aware of any negative behaviour that you hold, and we encourage you to make a list of these as well being honest and truthful. If you are unable to see what is negative in your life, ask a trusted person, one who will speak without bias and work on this list also. You may discover that each thing you find that is negative is able to be changed into positive just by wanting to make the changes happen. There is nothing you cannot do when you put your heart and soul into each and every step.

Don’t forget to stimulate your own self-worth by making good use of positive I AM statements and positive affirmations. Write them down and leave them in strategic places, or when a negative thought comes into view, remember one and say it and believe what you are saying. Tell yourself every day how grateful you are for being you. Remember you are a gift onto the world created by God which also means you are a gift onto yourself. Commit to saying something positive that affirms who you are as a person and that your existence is valid and essential. Each day you will make new progress, don’t just know this from reading our words, know this from the silent message your heart gives you each time confirming the truth behind each positive affirmation and positive I AM statement.

We see just how busy your day is; from morning to night and it is a challenge to find even a couple minutes of extra time, but we ask you to do just that to pray. Talk to God, to the angels or to who you refer to when praying. Share your burdens and concerns with who you pray to and know your journey is not a lonely one. Learn to rest in the comfort of the one you pray to, knowing you are loved, protected and cared for. We know it’s difficult to trust in what you cannot see and this is where many dear souls lose faith, yet it is faith that will see you through the hard times.

Change is a process; it requires you to think, to accept, and to be aware and so much more. If your mind is positive then your body will follow your mind positively and respond positively. You already know that your physical health is affected by how you think. You cannot ever separate the body from the mind, because how you program your mind is how your body will also respond.

Know dear ones; God wants only the best for His Children. He knows that sometimes you must choose the harder challenges over the easier ones, and sometimes repeatedly before you understand the lesson and break the cycle. He also knows and believes that you will overcome any obstacle because you have inside of you the power to make change happen…it’s all fairly simple – just mind over matter.

And so it is…

From Love, Create Your Life (Law of Attraction) Heavenletter #4717

From Love, Create Your Life

Heavenletter #4717   October 24, 2013

God said: 

Consider this: There is no penalty. You are not in danger. There is no danger.

Yes, yes, you imagine penalty and/or danger around every corner. You do not need to wear a knight’s shining armor. You do not need protection. You are safe. You are well taken-care of.

Ah, but you choose to be what you perceive as a realist, and you feel pursued by all that you do not want. You make friends with it.

Will you, as a favor to Me, please start feeling safe and secure and know that I forever hold you safe in My arms of love?

The world is fraught with change, and this worries you. Begin to remind yourself that the world is filled with love as well. Love is inevitable. Love is secure. Love from Me to you is a constant. Love you have, only, you hide so much love from yourself. Perhaps you do not feel worthy, and so you deny yourself security. You deny yourself love. You give yourself suffering in advance. Perhaps you feel that, by suffering in advance, you are lessening your chances of pain. Beloveds, what you are doing is making sure that you receive what you consider your allotted pain. It is like you make a reservation for it, as if you desire a front-row seat, as if you don’t want to miss the performance.

You do not need to draw any kind of suffering to you. If, as you seem to think, pain is inevitable, why, then, draw it to you? Don’t keep count. Don’t run toward it. Don’t have your arms wide open for it.

You find life scary. Therefore, you are scared. Yet fear does not protect you. Why do you act as though it does? Fear may well actually draw to you that which you fear.

Give up on suffering. You have learned suffering. You have been taught it. You were a good learner. You believe pain is inevitable, and so you lie in wait for it, as if lying in wait is somehow a repellant, or, perhaps, that being alert to suffering, suffering will pass you by as a courtesy or as a delaying action. But the thing is, you tend to wait for the other shoe to fall. What you wait in watch for, often occurs, or you call it to you, and it comes.

Perhaps you consider the world a jungle. Think a different thought. What you think matters. It matters a lot. What you think is like a map you follow.

Better to take initiative and chart your course. Draw your own course. Call it a map of your life.

Draw pictures of what you welcome to your side. Write descriptions. Immerse your thoughts in what you desire. Believe in desires at least as much as you believe in bad news.

Change your ideas. Have different ideas. Offer yourself treats every day. Look at the sun. Watch the clouds roll by. Immerse yourself in the life you want. Create it. From the silence of your love, create your life.

To some degree and much to your protest, you do. Life is not all cards that are dealt you. Even when you have been dealt a rough hand, it is up to you how you are to deal with it. Even when you have real trouble, you have choices to make. You can choose to elevate your life and the lives around you, or you can feel sorry for yourself and take the line of least resistance. Or you can stand tall and be strong in the glory in which I made you.

Life Is A Surprise - Heavenletter #4715

Life Is a Surprise

Heavenletter #4715                                                        October 22, 2013
God said: 

No one knows what tomorrow will bring. But who is it who says you have to know? What makes it better to know what is going to happen tomorrow than it is not to know? Why does certainty seem right and uncertainty doesn’t?

What is certain is: If you were born, you were meant to be born. And when you live on Earth, you were meant to live on Earth. And you are meant to learn and grow. There is not a minute really that you stay just the same. Growth is the name of the game.

It’s really true that you do become wiser.

If you could live your life over, would you make the same choices? Probably. Even when looking back and you regret some choices you made, you might make the same choices again that you made before and now rue. At that time and place, you were up for that choice. Whether wise or sorry in hindsight, it would seem that you followed a star not really knowing what you were doing. Most likely, you were in a kind of daze. You took a gamble, as in life you must, and it came out the way you wanted, or it didn’t. Sometimes it may seem to you that your life was rigged.

Anyway, you can’t turn back. This life is a one-time opportunity. Every day is a one-time opportunity. Besides, you can’t really trace the course of your life any more than you can predict it. Sure, one thing seems to lead to another, but does it? In Truth, there is no sequence, and there is no consequence. It certainly seems so, but, then again, what do you know? You mostly guess, and tomorrow you will guess again.

Life is a surprise. It is a surprise a mile a minute. Even when life seems to turn out the way you expected, it is a surprise. Life seems to have you twisted around its little finger, and it would seem you do life’s bidding.

No one knows how he or she is going to turn out, as if there is such a thing as turning out. No one knows how any another will turn out. Nobody knows.

Is there a conclusion to how people turn out, and in whose estimation? You see what you see, yet that doesn’t mean you know the half of it.

The surface is only the surface, and the surface may not reveal the depths. Whatever you think you may know a lot about, you may know little. In terms of the surface of life, there is little to know. Now, the depths, that’s another story. The depths are endless. There is no ending. The path continues to wind and unwind.

From the human point of view, life is perilous. Even so, there is no peril. You lead a sanctioned life. There is truly no end to life, so what can you be in danger of? Naturally, you think of many dangers, and those are your fears. All fears are unfounded. Your deepest fears are unfounded. There is no foundation for fear. Fears are a kind of temperature changes, that’s all. Be wary of your wariness.

Life is a shoe-in. You just have to meet up with it, and life will take you on your merry way. There are no close calls even unto death of the body. All that you fear is a surmise. It is a supposition. Even when you lose a bet, you don’t miss a strand of life.

Finally, I ask you: Why does winning seem better than not winning? What do you win when you win?

Your Egos Are Like Teenagers Lacking Wisdom to Guide You

YOUR EGOS ARE LIKE TEENAGERS

All are One, and daily this truth seeps into the conscious awareness of more and more of humanity, as you all – well the vast majority of you – move closer to your awakening. It is a done deal, you are going to awaken, it is inevitable and nothing can prevent it, so focus on the inner peace and joy that you encounter when you go quietly inwards in relaxation, prayer, or meditation knowing that this is the divine Will for you all. Doing just that is extremely healing for you and for all with whom you interact. It is what you came on Earth to do, you can do it beautifully, and that is all that you need to do. Truly it is very simple. Focusing on your anxieties and fears is very counter-productive, although they do often seem extremely important as they demand an enormous amount of your attention; just continue practicing letting go of them except when you are dealing directly in the now moment with issues that cause them.

You were created in joy for joy, that is your natural state, and when you focus on what disturbs you or makes you unhappy you are effectively withdrawing from that state. As you are well aware worrying changes nothing, it just adds to your stress and unhappiness. Be loving, of yourselves and of others, whatever the situation and refrain from judgment. If an error has been made forgive it, correct it if possible, and then move back into your peaceful inner space where you allow the thoughts of worry, judgment, and fear that arise to flow past you like the weather, without engaging with them. It is a bit like going out in the rain, you dress appropriately, take an umbrella, and the rain ceases to be an issue.

Every day you are moving ever closer to the moment for which you have been praying and hoping, and your intent that it happen is bringing it towards you, and because you know that, it makes perfect sense to be joyful, cheerful, and upbeat. Remind yourselves, when you observe the pain and suffering of others in the outside world, that this will pass. No one is undergoing something that at a deeper level of their being they did not agree to undergo. If possible offer physical assistance or comfort to any in your vicinity who are in need, hold them in your hearts compassionately while lovingly intending for them, and for every other human apparently caught in painful or catastrophic situations, to pass quickly and easily through their suffering, and onwards towards their awakening.

Awakening, as every channeled message is telling you, is your purpose, and not yours alone, but the purpose of every human everywhere on Earth. I cannot stress strongly enough that fact and the divine truth of the Oneness of all that exists. The sense of separateness that you experience as humans is illusory, no matter how real it appears to you, and the more you involve yourselves daily in the mundane activities and thought processes that seem to be so essential for your earthly well-being the more difficult it is for you to access your quiet inner space where you are always connected to your Source. It is from there that you can get a sense of that Oneness, of your connectedness to one another and to your Source that will uplift and inspire you, because that is how you access the field of divine Love in which you are eternally enveloped, and by which you are embraced.

Taking time out daily to go within and welcome the divine embrace in which you are enfolded is essential for your health, both physical and spiritual, because doing so brings into your conscious awareness the knowledge that you are spiritual beings whose real nature is Love. And by opening your hearts to accept what is always being offered to you, you will feel that Love. When you make a point of keeping that knowledge consciously in your awareness as you go about your daily activities and chores it enables you to operate from your true nature in all situations, even when you are under attack, and to respond with love and compassion regardless of any provocations that you experience.

Yes, of course your egos will continue to look for and immediately sense any attacks or provocations, warranted or unwarranted, directed at you, and encourage you to react to them forcefully to establish your boundaries by defending yourselves against them – and they nearly always appear unwarranted, do they not? But when you are making contact regularly with your true nature through your periods of rest, relaxation, and meditation or prayer, you are constantly intensifying the power of Love that flows through you at all times, by removing any obstructions or restrictions to Its onward flow, increasing your awareness of It, and thus enabling you to respond to any attack or provocation with Love, despite the calls from your egos to go to war!

As humans your egos are always with you, but as you focus more intently and consciously on the Love that is your nature, that is your Life, you become increasingly aware that your egos are not very wise, that they lead you into situations that are not conducive to peace, and you then find it easier to ignore or bypass their “guidance,” and their demands for knee-jerk reactions. Your egos are like teenagers, always powerfully expressing their rights, their individuality, and demanding instant gratification and satisfaction, or else! That is rather a sweeping statement because obviously not all teenagers behave like that, in fact vast numbers do not, but it is a useful analogy to which most of you can relate, even the teenagers among you, and there are far more of those than you can imagine now that the New Age has arrived.

So once again the message is about Love, which is your eternal and divine nature, and how to engage with it by bringing It into your conscious awareness so that the engagement becomes constant instead of sporadic, uncertain, or fitful. The point of life is to be fully aware at all times of your true nature, and when you are then that is what you will display and operate from, instead of from the confused and fearful mini-selves that your egos made for you and want you to believe in and spend your time protecting.

It does seem, when in your limited human state of consciousness, that to operate from Love instead of from your egos is to lay yourselves open to untold abuse and betrayal. That you are making yourselves utterly vulnerable, defenseless, weak. But, as you will find, that is not the case! When you are vulnerable because you are engaging with and operating from and through Love, you are invincible! When you are attacked or betrayed it is your egos that are hurt, that suffer, not the real You, and as your hearts open in Love the true You becomes ever more present, the ego’s importance and influence declines, and what used to hurt or upset you no longer does, or only does so far less forcefully.

You are not your egos, you never have been, and you never will be. They are like auto-pilots, and their purpose is to bring your attention to issues that need physical resolution in the moment – the stove is hot, don’t touch it! This is your turning! The traffic lights are red! – things that can cause your own or someone else’s body harm, and that is all. But what has happened is that because of their efficiency at those tasks you have granted them autonomy over you, you have given your power to them, and they have neither the intelligence nor the wisdom to use it properly.

When you reclaim your power, by consciously taking it back from your egos and their knee-jerk responses, and then intend to live lovingly in every moment you will find peace and contentment such as you have never before experienced in your human lives. You can only be hurt or offended if you choose to be. The true You would never make that choice, and no more does God, because there is only eternal unconditional Love and acceptance, anything else is unreal. Attack and provocation are of the illusion, not of Reality, and it is in the illusion, in the pain, suffering, confusion, and betrayal that are almost constant there that the ego has its existence, and so it defends it viciously. Do not be deceived by this insane and almost imperceptible part of yourselves that appears totally real – and in others often seems large, powerful, and threatening to you – and which lives in constant fear while trying to convince you that its fears are real, even overwhelmingly real.

As you move more and more firmly, positively, and, of course, consciously into acceptance of the knowledge that you are pure Love and nothing else, that small terrified part of you, your ego, will be lovingly integrated and subsumed within You, and all fear will dissolve as You once more come to know Yourselves as One with each other and with God.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Love Will Lead The Way

Be truthfully honest, how much time during the day do you spend in judgment of others? Are you aware of the times that you are? When someone walks by passed you do you think to yourself, “Wow they look sad, or happy, or their clothes are disheveled they must have had a rough night, etc.?” No matter how little it may seem, as soon as you have an observation kind of thought, there is judgment involved. Actions and words of others are being judged, and we are aware of this occurring more often than many of you may realize. If you are completely happy with yourself and I mean 100% happy then you will have absolutely no reason to judge another dear soul that shares your beautiful Earth. It is easy to assume and to judge another without getting to know them, but are you basing those judgments and assumptions because you know what that dear soul is going through, have you walked in their shoes? What we have witnessed is how many people judge others when they themselves are not feeling completely good about themselves – there is a lacking in their lives that causes them to judge others.

Judging others does not move you closer to living from your authentic self, it does not bring you closer to God, and in fact it causes a broader separation to take place. Judging of others without knowing who they are or what they are going through happens all the time, it is not nice, it does not contain love nor does it contain respect or compassion. Yet all that you need to break unhealthy cycles that are damaging to yourself and others is all within each of you.

Why do people judge others? There are many reasons but the big ones are insecurities, fear, loneliness and looking for change or a new direction. Whenever you are unhappy have you not noticed how quick you are to put another person down or to offer opinionated advice where it wasn’t asked for? We have also bared witness when dear souls are moving through fear and how fear causes certain reactions to take place. When you see someone getting ahead and achieving what you wish you could, you create ways to challenge them that will create doubt to creep into that person’s life where none lived before. How many times have you been in the past, envious over another person’s figure, outfit, hairstyle, etc., that caused jealous feelings to take over and create judgments or unnecessary gossip? To be truthfully honest, and we wish you would be – you will come to realize even if you do not take part of this negative behavior now, at some point in your life you have.

Being lonely and feeling that you are alone and don’t belong is another reason why many dear souls find it necessary to judge and make assumptions upon others. Instead of finding common ground with those around them, they are finding ways of pushing good-hearted people away. Any bonds that have been created due to loneliness were mostly not created from true love and compassion. Understand any bonds or connections you have made as a product of your judging others are at best superficial. They are lacking the key component of relationships and connections and that is love dear ones. Love is what truly brings people together. It may start off as a love for something that is similar but it grows with compassion and respect playing an important role.

Sometimes it is hard watching others making great changes and seeing even greater outcomes manifest. You want such changes too and while you observe others, instead of getting to work to bring in your own rewards you fill your head with negative thoughts and judgments on the changes those people brought into their lives. We know it can be hard to be happy for other people’s successes, but it does your heart good when you are, truly and genuinely happy for another dear soul’s happiness.

Have you ever thought of the harm judgments bring? Even the smallest negative thought, word, feeling or action can create a lot of chaos into the life of the one your negative attitude has targeted. It is paramount to always think of what you are going to say, once those words are out, there is no magic eraser to whisk them away. You can say sorry a thousand times but any damage that has been done is already in the making. When you hurt another with your judgmental thoughts, words and actions you are not just hurting them, you are bringing harm down onto yourself. No good comes from criticizing or judging others.

The dear souls that take part in judging and criticizing others create a false reality that it is okay to treat other people badly or to undermine their worth. Every time they partake in such activity they are bringing more harm down into their own lives. Remember how the power of attraction works, when you do good things, good things will come to you, when you do harmful things that you know are wrong, well my dears I believe and know you understand how this works – you will attract the same into your own life.

Even in this modern era there are still stereotypes based on gender, spirituality, appearance, and other labels and categories that creates a deeper separation. Instead of working together for the betterment of mankind, what is created is a bunch of little groups working separately as one. Judgments are often bred within separated groups that stigmatize the people that are within those invisible walls. No matter if a person is gay, Buddhist, Christian, Black, White or any other kind of difference they are still people with a heart, they know how to give love and to receive love. Peace is able to be reached when those walls come down and let others in. Shedding ignorance of different cultures and ways of life will bring liberation, unify through love and acceptance – judgments will not belong because love has led the way.

No matter how you look at it dear ones; assumptions made from judgments and criticism is negative. They do not bring any good into your life; they create harm and can have life-long effects on the dear souls that took the brunt of any negative words, feelings, thoughts or actions. Each of you are completely capable of giving and sharing love and just as capable to bring an end to being assuming, judgmental or critical of others. There are ways and we know you can bring this negative behavior to an end and shorten the gap between you and the Heart of God.

If you honestly and truthfully have all the intentions that good and powerful to end the incessant need to judge others then it begins dear ones by observing your own thought patterns. When you recognize negative thoughts are forming in your head, learn why they are there. Once you learn why they have appeared quickly give those negative thoughts a new positive direction. Look for something positive. This will require you to pay extra attention and to actually focus instead of always rushing through. You are less effective if you are always rushing. You can’t get to know anyone if you don’t give them the time. If you are required to say something in a response, choose your words wisely and find something positive and if you can’t simply don’t offer a comment. Learn to make different choices that are non-harmful to yourself or to those around you. You will create a friendlier air that will help attract more people into your circle thus creating a better network of support people that one day you may need.

Learn to not judge a book by its cover. Don’t quickly assume or judge another unless you have truly walked in their shoes and you know this person well. Avoid judging people just because of their appearance, gender, sexual preference, religion or other stereotypes. Silence is golden dear ones; it provides you with incredible insight to yourself and allows others to be themselves without judgment, criticism or assumption. When someone is different than you, instead of making ill judgments on their choices and ways of life, how about inquire about their lifestyle. Ask questions that indicate that you want to learn. Even if their ways are not yours, you are gaining valuable information and understanding how another person lives their lives even in the simplest degrees of understanding – it brings you closer together on a tighter bond.

We encourage you to focus more on your own life than on what others are doing. The more you focus on yourself, the less likely you will compare and create assumptions based on false judgments and criticism. End the vicious cycle of judging yourself. The harsher you think of yourself the worse you will think towards others. Look at all the positive things you have accomplished instead of focusing on the negative. At any time there is a lacking in your life, learn of this lacking and discover ways that will bring change and new growth that will illuminate any lacking. This is your journey dear ones. Even if you are not completely spiritual, your choices are yours and you are responsible for them. If you want a happier and more fulfilling life then it is you that must make this happen. We will always be here, guiding and supporting you each step, but you have to want this help and while we are working on the spiritual side of your life you are working positively on the physical side that will enrich all aspects of who you are in the life you are currently living.

Try and remember how it felt when some falsely accused you or judged you wrong. How did you feel? It is not a good feeling. There are many ways that you can bring more uplifting and positive change into your life that will rebuke any judgments or criticisms that you may have at one time chosen. You have the choice to demonstrate your goodness and security within your own person or you have the choice to demonstrate your insecurities which comes through as being mean and judgmental. Understand dear ones, where the act of judgment comes from – it comes from pride, and not the kind of pride you feel when you have passed a test or crossed the finish line in a marathon, but false pride – the kind of pride that is fanciful and filled with the feeling of superiority. Realize dear ones any time you have given false judgment on another dear soul you have also become accountable for making the correct judgment.

Don’t make matters worse by judging; bring change to your situations that are positive and welcoming. Learn who people are, don’t assume. It is okay to ask questions, asking questions shows another person you are willing to listen and to learn and dear ones that is an important first step towards acceptance, respect, love and compassion that your world sorely needs. Changes have occurred for the better and they will continue to rise. Some changes are slower to take than others but time is always on your side if you see time as a friend rather than a foe. Be true to yourself and love those you meet.
