Heavenletters

Keep looking up at the stars! Stars renew you. Stars are suns that brighten your heart. Want to be inspired? Look up at the stars.

You are My Created Being. We can say that you come from the stars. You are on Earth now, and yet you come from a different dimension from Earth. On Earth you may feel lonely. You may be a stranger to Earth but never to the stars. Do some star-gazing. Feel yourself drawn to the stars. No matter how far way science says the stars are, you are no distance at all from the stars. Of course, the same goes for Me. There is no distance from Me. Distance between Us does not exist.

If there were distance, We could not be One. The stars and you and I are also One. And the Moon and the Sun and the Waters of the Seven Seas, and all that exist in Heaven or on Earth are also One.

What a composition I created. What pictures I drew. What music I created. And now what a story you tell.

On Earth, you see differently from how you see in Heaven. You come from a different angle. Earth is new to you, and you look at it every which way. You look to recognize the beauty that you are accustomed to. You are exploring all the newness before you on Earth, and you yearn to make something of it. You want to see better and make out what life on Earth is really about. You wish to discern. You wish to see and feel the beauty that you have long been accustomed to.

When you are wound too tight, unwind. What does unwinding really mean? It doesn't mean to take a drink or eat a second piece of pie. It doesn't mean running away or oblivion. Unwinding doesn't mean all the things you may think. It means letting go. Let go of what may ail you. What ails you is something you are holding onto, some thought you are holding onto, some orientation that you've got to let go of.

There are many possibilities. You may think the world owes you a living. You may think that you are in danger. You most certainly are in danger to think that you are in danger from one source or another or simply from the world at large. Whatever it is that hangs over you that you think you must defray, this is what has to be unwound. You tied a rope of tension around you. You simply have to drop it. It is you who holds yourself in jeopardy.

I can hear you respond vehemently:

"Look, God, what are You talking about? You know that there are tsunamis, earthquakes, lightning, all sorts of things that go boom in the dark. Trees may fall, trucks go off the road, innocent babies get colic. There is no end to the terrible things that can happen."

Beloveds, this is just the point. There is no end of possibilities. You are so quick to think of the disconcerting possibilities. I ask you to think of the equally viable possibilities. You could find a hundred-dollar bill on the street. You could bump into someone who will become a huge factor for good in your life.

When it’s raining out five days in a row, what can you do but weather it? You go to work the same. You come home from work the same. You know that the rain will last as long as it lasts, and the sun will come out again.
 
Yet, when it comes to dealing with life, you are not always so sensible. When your heart is saddened, even when you don’t know why, with or without good reason, you groan at your sadness. You may analyze it. You storm down its battalions, sure that sadness will hang on forever, and you will never be happy again.
 
Will you not treat rainy days of your emotions as you do the weather? You know that weather changes. You don’t fault the weather’s temperature and say that the temperature will never go away. Yet, to all intents and purposes, you may feel that your life is over, and that happiness will never be yours again. This is how it feels to you.
 
It’s a wonder that you form such conclusions. It’s a wonder that you discourage yourself so relentlessly. You stoke the fires of depression and take depression as your lot for all time.
Change your orientation, beloveds. Start loving yourself again. Give yourself a pep talk. Start having fun again. Outstare gloom. Never were you meant to be a cheerleader of gloom. It is not for you to make a tragedian of yourself. Start to see yourself in more favored situations. See the comic aspects that surround you. I said comic, not cosmic.
 

You are a natural in fulfilling My dreams. You are star of fulfilling My dreams. No one has to know that you are a star and that you fulfill My Will. You have to know. Let others think whatever they think.
 
When I say that you have an assignment to do on My behalf – and everyone does -- I am speaking of the work and play you do for Me which is inevitably for the good of the world and humankind. Whatever service I ask of you is on My behalf. It is Our One Unified Will that you lift the world high.
 
Only as you rise can you do this.
 
It is your destiny to rise and to serve. You can't have one without the other. Rise and serve. Rise and shine.
 
The rising I speak of may not be the rising that the world may think of. I am not speaking of world acclaim or riches. Please understand that I am in favor of your success in the world, yet this is not what I speak of now.
 
All you ever have to have, you already have, and this is Our inviolable connection you already have. Whether acknowledged or not, We are more than connected. We are entwined. We are so entwined that there is no We, only I, only Oneness Supreme.
 
And so I serve, and so you also serve. You serve in My Name. You speak for Me. You do for Me. And, as you do, you speak for all. You herald Me to the world. You open doors for Me and more and more.
 

What you have been searching for all your lives is the love in your own heart. You have veered a little off course. You thought it was love from others you were seeking. You thought you needed the world to love you when, all the while, it was your own love that you were seeking so desperately.

What standards of love do you impose upon yourself? You are good enough for Me. Cannot you be good enough for yourself? No longer find yourself wanting. You don’t have to be other than you are. You are My beloved right now. It doesn’t matter what you look like. It doesn’t matter how perfect or imperfect you are. It matters that you love yourself. Love yourself regardless, and then you will be able to love others regardless.

You are not born to Earth to find fault. You are here on Earth to engender love. That’s it. Life without giving love is a dry desert. Let your love be like living under the sun, and you are like the morning dew. It is for you to be the pause that refreshes. Be you the giver of My love.

If you are a bus driver, know you are more than one who drives a bus. You welcome everyone who boards the bus you drive, and you bless everyone who gets off. This is in the job description I give you. You open your heart so that others may open their hearts. You are personable, yet you are impersonal in your love. It is My love that you give. It is My love in your heart. That is the love that is yours to share. You are twice-blessed.

What did you think you were on Earth for? To amass or to give?

There is nothing to do but to love. Loving seems hard to you sometimes or even often, yet it is your judgment that is hard. Without judgment, loving would be easy. Judgment stands in the way of your loving. You take judgment to heart instead of love. You believe in self-righteousness and being high and mighty. You tend to favor judgment and spurn love. This way you are faithful to judgment and unfaithful to love. You learned this along the way. You bet on the wrong horse. Unlearn judgment now.

Passionate to judgment, you forgo love. You make love wait.

At the very least, you tend to want to be loved first. You tend to want all or nothing. It is your own judgment that makes life hard for you.

What is letting go of the past but letting go of your judgment? Love benefits you. Judgment hampers. One person or thought is acceptable to you, and another is not. And so, in judgment, you juggle life. You toss life up into the air, and it falls on your judgment.

Your mind gives you permission to love or not. Too often your mind gives you little permission. Something is supposed to happen before you can give your love. It is like you fight loving tooth and nail, as if cause to love comes before love. You likely consider love as an investment that is supposed to earn a high yield on your behalf when love is meant to flow, not as tears, but like a mountain stream.

Love is always to be renewed. Not vows of love but love itself. Each moment of life is precious. This is not a platitude. Life cannot be taken for granted. Life is a gift that you are given for a while, yet you do not while away this gift. You dispense and disperse it.
 
Each person you meet is meant to be dear to you. Even those that pestered you or were a thorn in your side or were negligible to you and have gone over the horizon of the waves of the ocean, you might give a lot to see them once again and make amends. You might well sing a different tune now.  Do not wait. Do not be late.
 
Each person is a Being, hand-made by God. Very precious are the souls who wander on Earth, trying to find their way. What can you do but have compassion for all created Beings sent out into the world? What can you do but welcome them? What can you do but make the world a little easier for all? For this, you require a longer view.

Living on Earth helps you to be flexible. Change in weather helps you to be flexible. People help you to be flexible. What is the opposite of flexible? Adamant.

Of course, remember that everything in the relative world is relative. Whatever your natural proclivity, you learn determination, and you learn flexibility.

It certainly seems that life is hit or miss, yet there is a thread that runs through life that knows what it is doing. Flexibility can be described in many ways. It can be said that flexibility is living life without judgment.

“How, in the relative world,” you ask yourself, "How do I live without judgment? Am I to be only hit or miss? It would seem so. Even my judgment is hit or miss. It would seem that I float in life, landing here or landing there or not landing. I can only conclude that I am a will-o-the-wisp. Maybe I never touch ground. And, yet, God says that there is purpose in my life. Maybe I am meant to soar, yet it seems to me that I am holding on for dear life. I say that even as I don't really know what I’m talking about.

"Is this the famous life without boundaries? Is there really nothing to hold onto? No wonder I have convictions. As little as I may consciously know anything, I seem to hold on to tightly even that which, on occasion, I can admit that I know nothing about at all.

"Sometimes I feel like a ball thrown up into the air, and I haven't landed yet. God, I have to ask You: Is there a landing place? Do I ever land?"

When you feel unhappy, which you tend to do, look at something that makes you happy. Unhappiness is too often dwelled on. There is no point in keeping yourself locked into less than happiness. It is not at all your duty to stay unhappy as though unhappiness makes you worthy or perhaps a deeper soul. You are not wonderful to be laden with unhappiness and rue. No matter how riddled with unhappiness you may feel, it is unwise to hold onto it. Regardless of how justified you may believe you are to be unhappy, it behooves you to let go of all the symptoms you parade around with.  

Which comes first, unhappiness, or your thoughts of unhappiness? Thoughts precede the recognition of unhappiness. At the same time, it does not matter which comes first. What matters is that you switch gears.

Unhappiness leads you nowhere but to self-commiseration. Feeling sorry for yourself leads you nowhere but to more of your feeling sorry for yourself. This is not a good place to be. Regardless of how well you deem yourself justified, you’ve got to get away from this platform of justification that you may like to stand on. You have to get away from this justification because it takes you nowhere but down a rocky path.

You are a blessing to the Universe and to Me. I count on you. You are a desirable actor on the stage of life. At the same time, you are not essential to the revolving of the gears of the Universe. Everything is as it is meant to be. Everything continues. You play a part. You play an essential part while you do. In relative life, when you are no longer present, everything goes forward without you just the same. Your essentialness is necessary only for a while, and that’s how it is. Your worthiness is not in dispute.

 You are called on to serve in one capacity, and later you may be called on to serve in another. A lot depends upon you, yet not everything depends upon you. The world is smooth-running with or without you. With or without the blessing of you, the world revolves. I set up the Universe to be self-running.

You are always present yet in different ways in different locations as understood in the relative world. How lovely is the created world with you in it. It also will be lovely when you are not in it.

The overt world is not everything. It is something. It is something great but it is not everything. The overt world is a manifestation of Greatness. Full Greatness is Oneness, the Vastness of Oneness. Your position of turning the wheel of the nickelodeon of the world is temporary. The world has made temporariness a sad song, yet fluctuations make up the created world. This is nothing new. It was ever so.
