Heavenletters

Dear Beth,

since I like your thoughtful postings very much, I hope that perhaps it's in order for me to add a few words.

Even if, after thinking things through, it makes sense to me that "I am God", this still remains just another intellectual truth until I have the unequivocal and unimpeachable experience of it. For as long as I don't, "I am God" will be an empty and probably most detrimental claim.

But on the other hand I think it is a very good idea to always remain open for this possibility that one day it might dawn on us that we actually are God. In fact, I think God asks us to always be on the lookout for this. He has asked us in many of His letters to believe it. There can be moments when the truth of it seems very close, almost touchable, and perhaps everyone who has experienced moments of that kind will be extra cautious about claiming that "I am God". Why? Because we then know quite clearly that most of the time we are still very much run by ego. There seems to be an interim stage where we ar both - ego and something else we don't know what.

Let me end with a quote I find particularly clear and inspiring. It is from Heavenletter #264 (formerly 265), "A Universe of Such Magnitude". (You can find the complete letter here: http://www.heavenarchives.org/y2001m07/y2001m07p04.html#e )

You are not in a chamber. You are in the universe. The universe is your home. Your address is not. Like Me, you are everywhere all at once. Like Me, you are moving, and you are still. You are Me.
