Being realistic--what God says:
Dear Marie, Gloria (and everyone):
Gloria asked that I post here what I find in regards to what God has said in Heavenletters about being realistic:
God distinguishes between what is TRULY realistic and what we PERCEIVE as realistic. For example, in HL #1153 (December 14, 2003), Seek the Horizon, (http://www.heavenarchives.org/y2003m12/y2003m12p03.html#d) He states: "Do not dispossess yourself of ideals, for what hope lies in being realistic?" (paragraph 3) and "Practical and realistic only go so far. They do not go far enough." (paragraph 11); whereas, in HL #1267 (April 23, 2004), The Center of Your Heart (paragraph 14) (http://www.heavenarchives.org/y2004m04/y2004m04p05.html#c) He says: "It is realistic and practical to know where you are standing."
And in HL #2294 (March 7, 2007), All the Songs, (http://www.heavenarchives.org/y2007m03/y2007m03p02.html#b) He says in paragraph 12: "Never mind when people tell you to be realistic. They equate realism with doom." And in HL #2484 (September 13, 2007), Leap for Joy, (http://www.heavenarchives.org/y2007m09/y2007m09p03.html#c) He states in paragraph 4: "I entreat you to get out of the realistic mode. It has been overdone. You have overvalued it. Get into more of an imaginative mode."
And again, in HL #648 (July 30, 2002), New Thinking, (http://www.heavenarchives.org/y2002m07/y2002m07p06.html#e) paragraph 12: "In the world, you have been entrapped by those visual effects where you see something that isn't there. You see what you see because you expect to see it. You read words that you conjecture are there. Please expect and imagine a greater and more realistic picture of yourself."
So, you see, it all depends on the context. There are numerous other examples I could quote if you like.
Love and blessings,
