Beloved Innerpeace,
it is not easy to give a clear cut answer to your request. Asian languages in general and Chinese language in particular have mental patterns that are so different from European language. I wonder if you are addressing a problem of translating the concepts vehiculated in Heavenletters or if the problem is to grab how God exposes and develops ideas in Heavenletters.

"European" languages translators of Heavenletters also have the challenge of grasping the central idea, the core of each Heavenletter and build translations to make these core ideas stand out. Translation goes beyond translating in sequence one sentence after the other.

I understand, at the same time, that the Chinese culture might not proceed the same way to enunciate and develop ideas. It might be a different kind of linearity or circularity.

The only advise I could really give you is to take time to read many Heavenletters to get more and more familiar with their way of expressing ideas. You might also try to condense Heavenletters within few sentences that express the whole idea of each Heavenletters. This is something we learned in school: to extract the main idea of a text. If it can be of some help to you.

So take your time and be comfortable.

We want to keep you with us.

Dear Innerpeace,

I am quite sure that it is common to all translators of Heavenletters to feel the way you do. It seems like it would be the last frontier for the mind to dare think that we could carry the word of God and see it come out of our mind through our fingers on the keyboard.

At first, I would be uncorfortable very often when translating. Then, I would stop and ask God for help. I guess I really appreciate His sense of humor and I would tell Him things like : " Ok, if you want me on this team of translators You will have to show me You do..." and then the words and the certainty they were perfectly appropriate would come, like a miracle.

Then, as you "dare" continue to translate you go in depth into the Words of God and some of them reassure you. And then, one day you obey those words and you let go. It happens to me, when I translate, to write so fast and even anticipate the words that come next, then I tell myself to calm down and "hold my horses". In those moments, I wonder if Godwriting represents something like this.

It happens also, than some sentences or examples related to the culture have to be adapted before translation, then again, I sort of ask for "permission" to go on with my idea and there is definetly, at one point, a moment of peace that tells me it is ok, specially if I let go and "smile at my fears." I am so sure that God, in all His Love, doesn't want that the act of translating His Word could be a tedious moment, never.

And then, all along, there were Gloria and Normand who kindly reassured me, and then Paola who offered to proofread my translations, this is, to me, the idea of a magnificent team serving God.

Then, you are happy to see your doubts go away...

Much love to you all.

Beloved Innerpeace -- Yingxuan!

How lovely to learn that Confucius and Heavenletters are on the same page! But, always, Truth is Truth. And Truth is. timeless. .

Yingxuan, here is my feeling about translating. First, there must be different styles of translators and translating. I think you have a heart style.

I remember once that Engin, Heaven's translator from Turkey, who took a Godwriting workshop quite a few years ago, said that she thought translating Heavenletters is something like Godwriting. In Godwriting, there is no effort. There is no "thinking." There is also no having to get in a quiet place or anything you have to do to prepare. Just you as you are, and God comes in, and God helps you. .

The way I see it, your style is innocence, beloved Yingxuan.

Certainly, translating has its difficulties. At the same time, it has to be easy. I am sure that God is with you when you translate.

I have always felt with Heaven translators that God chooses them. You chose yourself, too, of course. You and Normand and all translators are here at God's behest. God has interviewed you and accepted you. So, please, be easy about your translating There is no ideal perfection in translating. I know you will be true to your heart, and your heart knows how to translate God's words.

You are translating for God, and you are also translating for the Chinese people who think in Chinese and not in English.

I know you are very conscientious. Just as in Godwriting, God says not to ask the questions that tend to create doubt. You do the best you can, and then move on to the next.

We can say I am also a translator of Heavenletters.

As I said to Normand the other day on the Global Translator Circle, I am reminded of the quotation that goes something like this: "It's not the letter of the law you follow. It's the spirit of the law."

Your heart is in the right place, Yingxuan. I have every confidence in your translating. I have every confidence in you. You have translated how many Heavenletters so far? You are an expert at it. Pat yourself on your back!

When there is something in a Heavenletter that may be an idiom or has a meaning you are unsure about, please ask your question on the Translator Global Circle.

You can know that your translating is fine and true. I am sure that God kisses your translating.

God bless you.

With love, Gloria

I asked God for an answer and used the Cosmic Generator; this is the Heavenletter that was shown:

So I would say: don't worry Innerpeace, God will help you, always!!

The Grace of God

Heavenletter #891 Published on: March 28, 2003
God said:

You want to remember that I am the Doer. What does this mean? It means I am the Accomplisher. I may accomplish through you — I most assuredly do accomplish through you — and yet, let's make it clear that I am the Doer.

We can say I am the Sender. I send you here and there to perform on My behalf, but I am the One Who sends you. Therefore, I am the Doer.

Just as with Heavenletters, they come to you through the hands and computer of another, but the writing is Mine. Therefore, I am the Writer.

You are messengers, but you are messengers on My behalf.

Much of your happiness is dependent upon your delivering My messages. As they are. Not amended.

In life, you want, as much as humanly possible, to send out My messages. Then your breathing is easier. My Will will irrevocably be done, and when it is through you, you begin to get the message yourself.

You are under a spotlight of My love. Yes, I tell you to follow Me, and yet I am the Spotlight which follows you. Light is My message always. And you are a reflector of My light. Shine well.

Check with yourself about the messages you send out and keep them true to Mine.

When you feel less than love, ask yourself what you would say or do if you did feel God's great love in your heart. In this light, perhaps you can send out love across the waves of life.

If you can conceive the possibility of My love, you can further it.

When you remind yourself that you are My light on earth, can you send out darkness? Can you do less than inspire another? Regardless of another's follies, can you not deliver My light?

We are talking about responsibility. You are not responsible for another's actions. You may be a contributor, but you are not responsible for another's rudeness any more than you are responsible for their good manners. You were not designed to be a reflector of another. You were meant to reflect Me.

If you were I, would you commit hurt of any kind to another? If you were I, how would you conduct yourself in the world? If you were I, how would you feel about yourself? If you were I, what would you say or do right now?

If I am the deepest core within you, I am your highest note. Why would you then not ring Me? Why would you play any other note?

And if you knew that I am the God within another, what bell would you ring? You are destined to ring the highest note. It is yours to ring.

It will not always bring you the return you want, but that is not the issue. The issue is you, and not what comes to you.

You do not yet know what your best is. You do not know of what you are yet capable. When I tell you that you are capable of all that I AM, you do not believe it.

But, today, will you move in the world as though you do believe it? Will you move through the world today as though your fealty to Me is the same as your fealty to yourself? Will you move through the world today with the grace of God and bestow the same upon all you meet?

Love and light, namasté, ANneke

Beloved Innerpeace,

there is nothing to add I feel. Indeed God is the doer, feel Him and ask Him if you are in doubt, He will guide you. To me it is more about feeling, a sensation of being ok or feeling something inside that might tell you to have a second look.
You can't get it wrong, enjoy the blessing of translating.

Biggest hugs and thanks to you dear !
Berit
