Heavenletters

This is a profound subject that Eleanor started here with her honest questioning. I felt to clarify something...

God always speaks in vastness. God sees through all the layers. Yes it is as easy as easy to let go of the past as it is to shake off leaves.

The something I am moved to clarify is, if one is not able to shake off the past like leaves, one may seek other ways to let go. The first crucial realisation occurs when one becomes aware that there are obstacles preventing one from feeling connectedness. This realisation may motivate one to seek suitable ways to remove the obstacles. It requires effort/action to remove the obstacles.

Where there is love, there is no effort. Dedicated, enthusiastic and surrendered effort opens the channels of love and what once required effort will become effortless.

God in His vastness says there is nothing one needs to do. When one sees from the eye of God, yes it is clear there was never any need to do anything. Until then effort is required.

All practices essentially teach one to surrender. Whether the practice is yoga, meditation, self inquiry or whatever is not of great importance as different characters will be suited to different ways. The importance lies in the awareness of the obstacles that create a sense of disconnection and the proceeding effort that removes the obstacles.

I am gratefully aware of the power behind God's words in Heavenletters as an amplifier and tool that can be incorporated into any way one chooses.

Gloria, I enjoyed your response to Eleanor above.

My experience...I can share what I experience now. There is a place within that I can only call my centre. Something powerful flows from there...something that I cannot really explain. There...that place is silent. That place is also everywhere. From the silence comes a vibration that I "feel" and "hear". When I am able to tune the mind into that place, I get a sense of melting into vastness. When awareness goes back to the world, the world appears more clearer. Things unfold.

And of course storms brew in the relative. The biggest change is that I am now able to steer instead of being tossed about and am able to navigate through the storms to places of calm.

One Love
