Heavenletters

Beth Ann, thank you for your open and thoughtful response. Whereas it's really hard for some people to post publicly, especially for the first time, here you come right up and say what you think. God in Heavenletters tell us to be valiant. Incidentally, there is a recent Heavenletters (I'm not sure if it's out yet) in which God tells us to be valiant.Bravo.

We are not in disagreement, Beth Ann.

You wrote: "I feel a warmth from much of what is written. Though I see love as an action and one of those actions is taking responsibility for self. Perhaps this may be one of the greatest faces of unconditional loving....You did talk of Buddha.He let go of all beliefs. He spoke of our connecting fully with the God we are. After all, we are cells in the body of the Oneness. Is any one cell of my body less than the whole of my body. Each one has the whole being in itself (DNA) just as we are cells of the Oneness and contain the whole of the Oneness in our being."

I do not know the history of Buddha, as you do. I do know he was wonderful. I can't imagine that he would have done all the good he did do if he held on to all the beliefs always held around him. He experienced for himself. We all have to find out for ourselves. God in Heavenletters says again and again that we must let go of the past, and that includes our old beliefs. Again, we have to be new. A widely accepted belief may become our own, but then it is our own, and not one we parrot. There's a world of difference then in the same belief when it is truly ours.

And you ask about my acknowledging myself as God. I am simply not able to do that. Theory is one thing. Living it is another. To my mind, it would be the height of arrogance for me to say that the words in Heavenletters are mine. To the best of my knowledge, I hear the words in my mind, a very subtle sense of sound, not from a voice outside me, so it must be from a voice within. I suppose it could be called Higher Consciousness. Bernie Siegel calls it the Inner Voice. David Hawkins calls it the Presence. There are undoubtedly dozens of names for it.

David Hawkins said that I hear from the same Source as A Course in Miracles, that it is the Voice of God I hear.

My individual self does not think the way God does. Not at all. For me, it's God Who speaks, and I like it that way. I'm rather ignorant really. That is good, very good. I'm proud of it! The American Indians say something like: "Let me be the hollow reed." And this has been said in many ways as well.

I love the relationship I have with God. God in Heavenletters (and other sources as well) has said that the time comes when we don't know the difference between who asks the question and Who answers it. I have had a few moments like that. Most of the time I know very well.

I understand that we are all enlightened and that Self-Realization comes when we realize (experience) what already is.

Whatever Heavenletter you read, dear Beth Ann, take whatever fills your heart. You don't have to accept everything.

Well, there's one more thing I have to say. If I should hear a voice that was negative and judgmental, of course, I would not say it's God.

You might want to check out the FAQ over in the right margin, the Story of Heavenletters, and the Godwriting blog probably has a lot more to say as well. www.godwriting.org

Thank you for listening and considering my thoughts.

God bless you.

With love,

Gloria
