By What Means Does the World Revolve?

God said:

If you cannot make the entire world happy and enlivened, perhaps you can make a part of the world happy and enlivened. Perhaps you can make your part of the world sweeter. It is such a little thing for you to make someone else's day happier. Just as you go about your business and lead your everyday life, you can shine on someone else's day. Just by a few words, a smile, a sense of appreciation for life and for another's voyage through life, you can lift the hearts of many.

There Can Be Understanding

God said:

Think of how wonderful are the letters of the alphabet. What an invention! Feel the sound of letters on your lips and tongue. So many beautiful sounds. Consider Beta. Consider Blessed, Beloved, Being. Consider all the beautiful letters and the sounds the letters make. There are also words formed with the same letters that are not so wonderful. Is it the sound of the word or connotation, or is it both, or is it something else altogether?

In the Realm of Human Relationships

God said:

It is true that other people need to understand you better. It is also true that you need to understand other people better. Everyone is alike, and yet everyone is so different. If someone misunderstands you, perhaps you have misunderstood them. Life that so often brings you to misunderstandings is also the vehicle through which you come to understanding. Learning is coming to understand. As you well know, nothing is difficult when you know it.

Where Emotions Come From

God said:

You feel emotions with your body. A trauma is a blow. You are laid low. You have the wind knocked out of your sails. You are red hot with anger, or your anger seethes, or you are blinded by it. You are giddy with joy and electrified with excitement. Laughter expands your ribs, and joy expands your heart. You feel thrills and chills. You feel emotions physically, and you already know which ones encourage health.

People Who Care about You

God said:

Your mind is like a reporter, only the most biased reporter is more objective than your mind.

Your mind colors everything. As an example, when you listen to the presidential pre-election news in the U.S., when you are a staunch Republican, you listen one way, and when you are a staunch Democrat, you listen another way. Whom you are for makes a phenomenal difference to how you think. If you are for one or the other, you don't even want to hear what the other side has to say.

Compassionate Understanding

God said:

Everything in the world is precious. Precious world. Precious Humans in the world. Precious is My heart in the world. You may not be able to go along with the word "divine" about the world, but you can accept "precious", can you not?

Yet what is precious on the surface is divine beneath.

We can even say that all the back and forth struggles in the world also are precious. They carry their own deliciousness. It is delicious how much caring there is in the world.

Be an Enricher of Hearts

God said:

The core of life is My existence, and not what is portrayed on the screen of life. On the screen of life the conflagration of minds at war with themselves acts itself out. The names of their acts are drama and tragedy. They are crying for attention, and they will be noticed. "See me!" they are saying. "See how you have denied me!" they are saying. "See how I make you notice me!"

And they are schoolchildren who carve their name on a desk. They make their mark. They sear their name across the sky of life.
