God said:

There is no need to strive to be imperfect, now, is there? It seems quite natural on Earth to not be perfect, wouldn’t you say? Striving to be perfect may wear you out. Perfect by whose standards, anyway?

You can intend to be many things. You can intend to be perfect, and then you have to forget about it! You can’t wrap yourself up in your intention, for then you hold on too tight. You have to let go so that your intention has breathing room. Grasping isn’t the way. Letting go is the way. Sit back and look forward to what today will bring.

Of course, you can work your head off to be perfect. Then, in addition to calling yourself a mistake-maker, you may also call yourself a failure!

Which would you choose, beloveds, perfection or happiness? Choose happiness. If you don’t feel happy at this time, then do something nice for others. You could, perhaps, accept people as they are. Acceptance seems to be hard in the world because of high standards.

Isn’t it wonderful to have high standards, you might ask?

There are two answers - Yes and No. It isn’t wonderful when, with high standards, you look down on others who don’t meet your fine standards. What is more important, high standards or love? You know the right answer here all right. Love is definitely a form of acceptance. Acceptance is like a welcome mat in front of your door.

A welcome mat does not say:

“This mat is only for people whose shoes are immaculate.”

God said:

Freedom – you are calling for freedom. Freedom doesn’t mean doing whatever you want whenever you want, did you think it did?

Oh, of course, if you have Saturday afternoon off, you can play golf or hang out at home. Treat yourself right. Take a day to do what you like when you like. You deserve.

Freedom means to move freely. It means to be agile in body. Go for it.

Freedom means to think freely. It means to be agile in mind. Go for it.

Freedom means to be spiritually free. Be light in heart. It means to reach for the sky. Go for it.

Freedom means to be who you are wherever you are. Of course, freedom doesn’t mean to show up for your wedding in a bathing suit, that is, unless this was what agreed upon.

You are always free to be considerate, respectful, and a delight to behold. If others don’t or can’t grant you and, or if they do, also grant to yourself consideration, respect, and behold yourself in the Light I see you in. In this case, you can only be considerate, respectful, and delightful.

You are free to think differently, even if you are the only one who thinks as you do. At the same time, you clearly come from the Light of being considerate and respectful to all, including those who think differently from you.

You are free to be kind without saying you are kind. Being is more meaningful than saying.

You are free to give others a helping hand without overdoing it. You are not to smother another or deny someone else his or her freedom.

God said:

My children cry out to Me how unhappy they are. You, yourself, as a matter of fact, might say:

“Dear God, so many times You get my hopes up. I hear about levels of consciousness, yet no matter what level I seem to be on, I return again and again to despair. The promises You seem to make, forgive me for saying, do not always hold up. No matter what level of consciousness I seem to be at – and I have grown, definitely, I have grown – I am disenchanted once again. I am lonely. Loneliness pursues me through the days that turn into my life. God, do You forsake me? Have You forsaken me?”

Dear Child, a thread of you knows I have not. You may not know where to turn, yet you inevitably turn to Me. You do know enough to know that I hold the Keys to the Kingdom. There is one Key, and it is Love, and I offer it to you. Will you receive it?

Now, let Me say kindly what I am going to say.

Listen to yourself, beloved. You are disgruntled. You are disgruntled with Me. I am not disgruntled with you. I do not find you lacking. You find Me lacking. You find yourself lacking. Loneliness is rampant on Earth. Are you saying that I create your loneliness?

God said:

No matter what, no matter what you see, no matter what you believe, no matter what the world says and identifies you as, you are My love. You are My beloved, and I store you safely in My heart.

In the consciousness of Heaven, safety is not even a thought. There is no contrast to safety. There is no thought of safety, for danger is not thought of. All is well is not even a phrase except in the extant world because “All is well” is a given. You believe in untruth so very well. In fact, you hold on to untruth, the same way you hold on to the belief in money. Of course, you are sure that money must be true. It is in your hand, or in your wallet, and another hand is reaching out for what you have or do not have in your hand at a particular moment.

Lip service may be given to the idea that love rules the world when, all along, you are sure that money is the Ruler of the World. You are not only sure of this. You can prove it.

In the world, it is like money is your livelihood. You kneel down to it.

Do not think that I criticize you for this. I understand your dependency upon what is referred to as wealth, yet, you’ve got to know, that money has no place in Heaven. You can’t buy anything in Heaven. You can’t sell anything in Heaven either, unless you call Truth a commodity. There are no commodities in Heaven. There is no trading in Heaven. There is no speculating in Heaven. There is Truth in Heaven.

God said:

“‘Til the ends of time” is a lovely expression, rather sweet or bitter-sweet, nostalgic. All the same, time never was, yet time is something you rue for its passing. Gone are the days of yesteryear. Now there are merely images of people that you can’t forget yet who are no longer on Earth whom you do not truly remember, oh, maybe a patch here and there. You almost can’t conjure them up any longer. They meant so much to you, and you may still miss them so much at the same time as they seem to have gone away leaving you behind to go it alone.

How can it be that your dear mother and father are no longer here? How can it be that you are now older than they were when death whisked them away, yet death is not real. Simply the ones you loved cross a river that you have to wait to cross until it’s your turn.

The river they crossed is more like a rainbow, you understand. There is no forging across a rainbow. There is light rising, perhaps the way dew rises to the sun. Another day, the dew returns. In this way, life is like a dance, this turn, that turn, circle left, circle right, and then you meet yourself and bow or curtsey.

Yes, life in the world is like a dance, and you never know when your dancing on Earth ceases. You may have been doing somersaults all your life, and then, one day, you will leave your somersaulting behind and you go off into the wild blue yonder.

God said:

Your basic heart is pure. Then interference accrues. Static takes over. The individual, the seeming owner of the body, starts to feel frail and unprotected. This is you. Admit this.

Then the entity known as ego steps in as your defender, and you become resistant to love. You embrace the fear of being offended. You are en garde. You are ready to duel at the drop of a hat. No one is going to take advantage of you. No one is going to get the better of you. Ego won’t let that happen. At these times, ego rules the roost. It is like you are the King or Queen, and others must be prepared to kiss your feet, or else, you deign in heart: “Off with their heads.”

You hold on to believing that you are in the right and that you must fight to prove it. You become self-righteous when you are, in fact, defeating yourself. This is what is meant by shooting yourself in the foot. This is what is meant by sabotaging yourself. This is what is meant by cutting off your foot to fit the shoe. This is nailing your foot to the floor. This is trying to hold life in place, and, you, right or wrong, in the forefront, a supreme being who can do no wrong and must defend himself to the end. This has been your practice on more than one occasion. Yes, dear ones, you may feel another is slandering you, yet it is you slandering your True Self.

God said:

Returning to the topic of changing people, I would like to add that you adore someone and you get married. So far, so good, and then you see fault in the one you married, and you try to reform your partner in areas that are not yours to take over and remake to suit you. Your desire to make your partner into someone else may hurt your loved one’s heart to the core. No matter how well-intentioned you may be, you may be denying your beloved’s very Being. Who are you to presume to change your loved one’s preferences in life? You may try to take away someone’s very nature. Now We are dealing with the nitty-gritty of life.

When someone is one way, he or she is not another. Each person comes to this world with certain proclivities that belong to the person and not to you. Really, people will change, yet it is not for you to force or speed up change on anyone. In life, you learn what is your jurisdiction, and what is not.

When women go to a spa for a complete make-over, they have chosen to go to the spa. Each person comes into Life on Earth with predilections. Some are quick. Some are slow. Some like solitude. Some are gregarious.

Your friends and loved ones own their lives to live and decide for themselves. Another’s life is not yours to direct. Marriage is not a take-over. You do not want to force-feed another. Nor do you yourself want to be force-fed.

God said:

Of highlands and lowlands is the Earth made. Of forests and deserts. Of frozen lands and hot tropics. Of everything, life is made, and the picture of life is made. This is the relative world in which you live. That you can’t have one thing without another sums up pretty well the relative world you find yourself living in.

I say that Oneness alone is.

Depending upon where you look from, one statement or the other above is true. Or, it can also be said that both are true. Again, I say that Oneness Alone Is True.

All that which appears true, and all what is really true may well not be the same. Even on the surface dimension of Earth, something that appears true may not be true. Thus, there are such things as scams and disillusion to all that which is only illusion in the first place.

It is an illusion that death exists. And how wonderful it is to be disillusioned about death, to have the true realization really sink in and sink in deeply. That there is no death is too wonderful to believe, and, yet, you can believe.

By the same token, you could then say: “HA HA, God, if there is no death, how can it said there is Life? How do You get out of this argument?”

God said:

It really is an affront to try to make people into something they are not. Of course, there can be a question of what someone is or isn’t. I am speaking of when someone is naturally open-hearted, and someone sees the person as too open-hearted. There is also the reverse, where someone is tight-fisted with his heart, and someone else decides that he or she must become warmer. Be wary when you see others as too much something and not enough something else.

There are many things My children want from others that may well not be their place to order. Matters of the heart must be left to the heart.

Because you operate in the world one way doesn’t mean that everyone else must operate the way you do. Be cautious about trying to change other people. It is hard enough for you to change yourself.

Because you are a person who loves to socialize doesn’t mean that everyone has to love to socialize. The world also has need of those people you tag as introverted and perhaps consider inferior.

If someone happens to love wearing bright colors and overwhelms your eyes with too much jewelry, welcome them. If you find you cannot welcome them, then at least don’t judge, condemn, or hassle them.

And if someone is too muted and plain, let them be. You are not meant to be the decider of what other people should or should not be like or appear like.

God said:

For those of you who are feeling low energy, this feeling is temporary. There is a tendency for My children to take on what occurs as forever or fatal. The only thing forever is Oneness, or We can say Love, Life, and Oneness. We can add the words Vastness, Joy, Happy Heart, Soul. Anything else is temporary. It is temporarily perceived. Anything that is not Love, Life, Oneness, Vastness, Joy, Happy Heart and Soul may well be perceived, yet it is all a big bluff.

You hold the good cards, beloveds. You just don’t quite see what you hold in your hands as yet. There is no losing in the card game called Life. We could say everyone wins. We could say no one can lose. That which is Real cannot be lost. The stories you live are dramatic, no doubt. They are serious and comic. The stories of all kinds are simply: Ado about nothing.

Yet nothing is something to you. Nothing is a lot of something to you. This is not an accusation. It is a statement of fact, for this is how the world sees. Of course, this is the appearance of life in the world.

Life as you know it is a picture show. Picture show used to be an expression used for movies, yet moving pictures took over. Commonality made the choice. The expression picture show implies a still photo, whereas movies indicate pictures moving.
