Heavenletters

Dear Vic, you are the Terrestrial Heavenletter Generator for me this morning . Thank you so much for drawing my attention to this Heavenletter. It jolts me into full wakefulness, crystallizing something that must have been in the making for some time.

I am particularly impressed by this paragraph:

Dissatisfaction with yourself is a ploy of ego. Don’t for one minute think it is egoless of you to put yourself down. It is ego at its best! Ego imprints itself on you and tells you that you are to discount yourself in order to be humble. Ego has got you taking pot shots at yourself. So delighted it is, it does a gleeful dance, slaps its knees, clicks its heels in the air with ecstasy at your discomfiture.

But, for heaven's sake, what does ego want in the end?? What does it need my discomfiture for? What could it possibly do with my discounting myself? Is all of this simply about ego's survival and no more? Is ego really good for nothing at all??? I have to find out more. I find a Heavenletter that is pure dynamite from the first word to the last.

Ego's Promises

God said:
Ego has its own entourage. It has quite a crew. Hurt, anger, greed, jealousy, envy, embarrassment, dismay etc. support ego and ensue from it. Whatever form ego takes at a particular moment, rest assured it is painful.

Aha, so everything ego does is painful? Is everything painful (except toothache and other real things) ego then?

I'd love to go through this most breathtaking Heavenletter paragraph by paragraph, but there is something which urgently wants to come into focus and I need that first.What is it? Somehow I seem to be hearing, "Well, don't take emotional pain seriously any more, that's what it is."

What the Winds Hold for You

If you want to have a good day today, keep Me in mind. Let thoughts of Me run through your mind. When you have an objectionable thought, substitute a thought of Me instead.
If you truly want to be done with ego and what ego involves you in, this is how to do it.
If you do not want to think of Me, then think of love and that will lift your vibration very well. Ego is one vibration and God and love another. Ego thoughts are shaky. Thoughts of Me stabilize. If you really want to be down to earth, think of Me. Turn the world upside down, and make Heaven your base. Then you will be unshakeable.
All the troubles of the world are ego-based. Ego is sold to you right and left, and you buy into it. You then become a dupe of the ego. Ego will dupe you every time.
It will tell you that something is very important. It will tell you that you have to take care of it immediately. Ego lights a fire under you. I will say that for it. But, beloveds, let love be your steady flame.

I think I have reached my most important question now: "Why do I think it's difficult to leave pain behind? Whose thought is this? Can I do it anyway? Now?

This is where I come full circle, back to this present Heavenletter, quite amazed. Pain has been a smokescreen I produced myself for reasons that are unknown and perhaps unknowable and probably not worth knowing.

I will simply stop producing smoke. No, wait. From now on, when I see or smell smoke, I will know it is simply ego fighting for mere and senseless survival. And without smoke, what can be left but love, where can I be but in God's arms? It really feels that way: You are meeting yourself this morning for the first time.

The right Heavenletter, the right moment -- perfect, Vic.
