Heaven #967

The Whole Treasure of the Universe
Heavenletter # 967 Published on: June 15, 2003
God said:
When your heart feels contracted, you have been looking in the wrong places. Remember the Source of love. The world is not its source. Yet you keep looking to the world for the love your heart yearns to be full of. To be sure, the world has love, but the world is so preoccupied with itself and so changeable that you will be kept waiting for its love, and when it arrives its time so short that it will be gone before you know it. The world's love flits.

Dear Gloria, does the highlighted passage need an "is"?

Yes, I agree with you about

Yes, I agree with you about starting a new page. Thank you for doing it. And, yes, an "is" is needed.

Muchas gracias, Jochen!

Yes. You are absolutely

Yes. You are absolutely right!

I am going out of town today. I will forward this to Annette as soon as I can.

God bless you.

Past and Future Are But Daydreams, Heaven # 1406

A very small thing, fourth paragraph:

You might as well talk about the novel you just finished reading. it is more current and probably reveals more about where you are now than your recollected past.

Fixed! Thank you so much for

Fixed! Thank you so much for noticing typos and bringing them to my attention.

Having the grammar and punctuation and so forth as they are meant to be makes the Heavenletter better for the next reader.

Muchas gracias, Senor.

Heaven # 1455

Dear Gloria, I'm not quite clear about this sentence. When I read it with just a comma and without the dashes, it seems easier to understand. Or am I just not getting it?

This is why you must dream, and dream big. You must dream big so that you are enlivened and so that you may go toward your desire. Of your list of desires — the dollars, the boat, the car, the promotion, the recognition — are not in the big category, but they are a start. It doesn't matter where you start. It matters where you are going.

http://www.heavenletters.org/the-far-reaches-of-heaven.html

Beloved Jochen, I'm having

Beloved Jochen, I'm having trouble with the sentence too. Something isn't quite right in the structure of it. Let me see.

The word of may be causing some of the difficulty. Maybe it is the dash.

Your list of desires -- the dollars, the boat, the car, the promotion, the recognition, they are not in the big category, but they are a start.

Or:

From your list of desires, the dollars, the boat, the car, the promotion, the recognition -- they are not in the big category, but they are a start.

Or:

Your desires -- the dollars, the boat, the car, the promotion, the recognition -- are not in the big category, but they are a start.

But I think God wanted "the list" in there, but maybe not.

For instance, to make it really less awkward means changing the rhythm, and something is lost:

The dollars, the boat, the car, the promotion, the recognition that you desire are not in the big category, but they are a start.

There is also the theory that God wants to trip us up every now and then so we really pay attention. Maybe He had it in mind that this structure would stop us and we'd pay more attention to this point.

Right now I will sit on this, and see what it looks like later. I will love your further feedback..

I agree that the "list" is

I agree that the "list" is important. The sentence makes perfect sense to me this way:

Of your list of desires, the dollars, the boat, the car, the promotion, the recognition are not in the big category, but they are a start.

But, yes, it may be a good thing to leave it as it is -- for the sake of attention.

Heaven #1641

Love is the medium of the world. Love is really not that abstract, beloveds. You can feel it in every motion of the universe. What do you think each revolution of the Earth is but a proliferation of love! The world presents itself to you every day. The day presents love. What is each day but an offering of love to you? Who is love for if not for you? Who will accept it not you?

http://www.heavenletters.org/all-this-love.html

Heaven #1647

You have the eyes to see, and the ears to hear. But you have more than the physical senses. You have a sense of knowing, and this is how you know Me. It is not by touch, and yet you feel My touch. It not by decibel, yet you hear My unsounded Voice. It is not by sight, yet you see My irreproachable formlessness. You taste My sweetness, yet it is not with your palate.

Let Your Desires Be like Kites

Put your dreams before you. Be pleasant. Life is teaching you what matters and what does not.1227 - When You Look Skyward - March 18, 2004

When you look upward, you alter your physiology.....

Dear Gloria, this may be a bit more complicated to fix, because what we have here is actually Heaven #1225 and Heaven #1227 on one page. Consequently, Heaven #1227 is missing on the archives page for March 2004 (but both are listed correctly at heavenarchives.org).

Thank you, beloved Jochen.

Thank you, beloved Jochen. I'll bring this to the attention of Annette, the archivist.

I can fix typos, and that's the extent of my editing skills!

Heavenletters 1225 and 1227 are now corrected

Thank you, Jochen, for bringing this to our attention. It is now fixed. I don't know how these things happen, but they do. We deeply appreciate the service you give in helping us to keep our goofs on the website to a minimum.

Heaven #1269

Dear Gloria, for some reason I'm unable to make sense of this blocking and unblocking. Can you help me?

Cleanse Your Heart
Heavenletter # 1269 Published on: May 9, 2004
God said:
Inner turmoil comes because there is a block in your heart. You think something outside you caused concern. Something occurred outside you, and, concomitantly, the heart is unblocking itself. When the heart is clear, nothing is a stumbling block.

http://www.heavenletters.org/cleanse-your-heart.html

Beloved Jochen, I think I

Beloved Jochen, I think I messed up, and it does not make sense as it is written.

Okay, we cause the blocks in our heart. Something happens outside, and as it does, we block our heart. I suspect the word unblocking is supposed to be blocking. Do you agree?

Does this fit better with what comes next as well? Tell me, please, and then I'll fix it.

Yes, considering this later

Yes, considering this later passage - Only a twisted thought twists your heart. A twisted heart becomes hardened to itself - I too think it has to be "blocking".

[I find that this Heavenletter and two or three around it are not quite as smooth-flowing as most of the others are. My eyes stumble here and there and I have to re-read sentences. This may mean that special attention is called for here.]

Fixed, Senor! Many thanks!

Beloved Theophil and Jochen,

You are absolutely right. Thank you so much for catching these.

I passed this on to Annette, Heaven's archivist. These need to be changed in the Heavenletter itself and also on the archives.

Annette will let us know here when it's done.

God bless you both.

Typos corrected

Dear Theophil and Jochen, the typos you mentioned are now corrected. Again, thank you for letting us know they were there. God bless you and Godspeed.

Beloved Annette, thank YOU

Beloved Annette, thank YOU so much.

Dear Gloria and Annette,

Here are some more possible little errors:

Heaven #235

(Is the emphasized "the" okay?)

You are fleeing towards Me. You flee only the fringes of life, and I am the Center you rise to or fall to, for there is no up, and there is no down. Rising is in your awareness, for you are inalterably stationed deeply within My waiting heart. My heart waits for your awareness of the God's honest truth.
http://www.heavenletters.org/to-our-oneness.html

Heaven #316

(Is this word order correct?)

Something is controlling you, and it is good to know what it is. No, it is not necessary to know what it is. It is necessary to get out under from it.
http://www.heavenletters.org/the-heart-is-different-from-the-mind.html

Heaven #1636

You have arms and legs in life. You are supposed to do something with them. Yes, I am the Doer. I am the e Doer, but you are the leader of your own life. You may well have to be the attractor into your life of what you want. You may have to get up and take action before the wheels of life will spin for you.
http://www.heavenletters.org/you-are-a-doer.html

Heaven #1822

(Is it "Principle"?)

When you say Yes, you are saying Yes to Life. Rewards come in all shapes and sizes. You would not turn any away for the sake of…for the sake of what? Principal? Habit? But you are not an automaton. True, you may have been programmed to say No, and now program yourself to say Yes winningly.

I'll ask Annette to fix everywhere.

A thousand thanks, dear Jochen.

Very well everywhere

Heaven 1476

(Dear Gloria, I couldn't find a meaning for this expression. Perhaps a typo?)

No has its place, certainly, but No is not to outdo Yes. Many things are said No to, or Later, or Perhaps when Yes is fitting. Yes fits in every well. No closes whereas Yes opens. Sometimes it is your own face you close the door on.

Should be Very well, not every. Thank you, thank you.

Heaven #721

When you go to bed at night, yes, remember that you are going to bed for more than sleep. You are going to bed to rest in My arms. What else can you do but that when you lay your head down at night. Those who have a hard time going to sleep may be fearing their thoughts, so substitute the ones I give you. The fear of what thoughts may come to you rests on the deeper fear of letting go of supposed control. Letting go of control is the same as resting in My arms. It is nothing more that that. Why would anyone be afraid or hesitate to rest in My arms of love? And remember that when you awake, you are still in the same arms of love.

[comma?]
All the times you have said that, if you were God, you would design a different world. Confess. You have ideas for what you would add, and what you would take away, but upon what are your ideas based? Momentary fears, regrets, wishes, but they are not enough to build a world upon. Perhaps you would design a laid-out world, one with no uncertainty, totally mapped out, no wrong turns, one filled with flowers, an easy life, joy and never pain, health and never sickness, truth and never false, life only, never death. That is the world I designed but, you have not seen it so.

You are right every time!

If the pie is not one you like, you still have choices about how you treat it. You can toss it away without a backward glance. Of you can refrigerate it and glower at it every time you notice it. You can even eat it and find it is better than you thought. You can add something to it and make it into a different pie.

#787
Do not tie a string to your finger or set an alarm. Instead, remind yourself of Me with an act of kindness or act of acceptance. Be the giver, and you will begin to assume your rightful status and you will see how close I am. When you stop thinking so much about yourself, I will be in sight. When you think bigger, then you will see better. You see what has been always been all along. You digressed. You diverted from your truth. Now you come back.

You are not a rickety boat tossed about in the seas of life. You are a ship who forages a stream through the waves of the ocean.

either "proof" or "positive"?? (par. 1)
You are My own True Love. Know this. Feel it. Know what it feels like to know that you are the one I love. My love for you spills over, and all the overflow is for you to give out so that others may know how loved they are. Be proof positive that I exist and My love exists. The only way to do that is to give My love away, give it quickly because it is overflowing love. My love streams from Heaven. I give it to you no matter what, and yet I give it to you to pass on.

(par. 5)
Beloveds, I created the world with you at My side. And now you live in the world, and like the child whose father who fixes the car, you are still by My side. And love is exchanged, just as the air you breathe is exchanged. It is the natural flow of events. It is the eternal flow of love.

ascending?
What is so great about being tied to the ground? You have ever wished to fly. You have wished to ascend, and ascend you are. You are at lift-off. You are surpassing lift-off. You are out of range. You are ascending, and where light stops, nobody knows. The light of you is forever spiraling upwards. You are leaving the squalor you have associated yourself with, and now you are rising to fill the gap in your heart.

Dear Jochen,
Thank you once again. I have corrected all but the one below, which was already correct. I explain below.

either "proof" or "positive"?? (par. 1)
*Be proof positive* that I exist and My love exists.
Correct as is: "Be proof positive that I exist and My love exists.
"Proof positive" is a common American expression to emphasis the word proof. It really means "positive proof" or "absolute proof".

proof positive

I half suspected this, Annette. Looking it up in my digital dictionary again, it's there. I have no idea why I didn't see it the first time. Sorry.

proof positive
noun
evidence taken to be final or absolute proof of the existence of something : he still needs proof positive of her love.

Thank you once again. I have corrected all but one, which was already correct. I explain below.
#463 (http://www.heavenletters.org/ten-stones.html) - 2th paragraph
"You who are so vital to Me [ that you ] do not need ego
to expound you."
Correct as is: "You who are so vital to Me do not need ego to expound you." The phrase "who are so vital to Me" could theoretically be set off by commas ("You, who are so vital to Me, do not need ego to expound you"), but it is not necessary here.
