Heavenletters

Dear Santhan,

Yes, no doubt there are many points of contact with what we call spiritual paths some of which have existed for millennia. There is something of this in shamanic trance, in the dance of the Whirling Derwishes, in some forms of Christian mysticism and certainly in Hindu or Buddhist samadhi teachings and many other traditions. This can only mean that many of the old traditions are God-inspired. Unfortunately (from my point of view), many or most of those teachings have tended do develop technologies of enlightenment that usually go with big and heavy toolboxes (and tons of manuals). There is nothing wrong with that, of course; every approach in existence is good for some of us and therefore wonderful.

For me, the unique thing about Heavenletters, the feature I love most, is that they have no toolbox. I pray they will never have one. When I read Heavenletters, they never remind me of those many things I have read about or even practiced myself. They are like a fresh start for me, as if nothing ever went before. If I nod, it is not because I recognize something I have read in the sermons of Meister Eckhart or in the Upanishads or in the Heart Sutra. I don't know why I nod. There is a yes coming from some nameless, formless place, and out of the blue, I nod.

Even though I am scared of Godwriting, I sense quite distinctly that a conversation is going on all the time and now. Everyone is involved. It is immediate, more immediate than minds can grasp or words can say. This is the time, a gnostic time you might say, of meeting God bare-handed and face to face with nothing, I mean nothing, in between. For me it feels as if I have lived in a LEGO world of doctrines, techniques and formulas and now the time of "direct contact" that does not need the tiniest bit of preparation has finally come.

I hope, dearest Santhan and everyone else, I hope you know I'm not objecting to anyone or anything, I'm not advocating anything as being better (more intelligent, more spiritually evolved.....) than something else. I notice I'm shaken to the core by this Heavenletter and conversation and cannot even ascertain myself whether what I'm saying makes sense or not.
