In the Stream of Timelessness

God said:

What does it mean to live in the moment?

It means you are where you are and not off somewhere else. You are not a minute ahead nor are you a minute behind. You are not past-oriented nor are you future-oriented. You are not thinking of something else. You are where you are.

If you are drinking a cup of coffee, you savor the coffee. You savor the people you notice in the restaurant and you savor the people walking past the restaurant. You are not cogitating past, present or future. You are in the present. In a sense, beloveds, you are the present. This is more than being in the present.

We can say that nothing exists but the present. You don’t think of a Universe. You have become the Universe. We can say that you don’t think about Infinity because you are Infinity. You are in the stream of timelessness. This is what this moment is. You are where you are, and you aren’t where you are not.

You are in certain surroundings, yet there isn’t static. There is no interference with what is now.

It is focus though I do not say that you are focused. This is a natural act. There is no effort. There is intention, yes, perhaps.

It is even away from the moment if you think you must focus. Now is focus without thinking about it. This is being where you are without thinking about it. You are Being.

This is being happy, for what is there to be unhappy about when you are alive and right where you are? Remember you are in Infinity whatever the shape it presents itself in.

Unhappiness comes from the concerns of the past, and unhappiness comes from fear of what could go wrong in the future. In the present, there is no right or wrong. There simply is Is-ness. You are Being. You are the sun shining. No effort for the sun. The sun simply shines, and you are simply right here with Me in the Sun and, yes, every ray of it. You are where you are, and you are experiencing rays of the Consciousness of the Sun. It isn’t exactly that you experience it, for you ARE it. You are the Sun. You always have been, yet you have been distracted from Who you are by the sounds and sights you see here and there the same way a baby examines a toy rattle.

We can consider yourself and consider Me as the One Sun that shines in the sky. I never leave the Sun. On the surface, you trot around here and there in your mind. Your mind is a traveler that looks out all the windows of the Sun, and you actually believe that you are outside the Sun. Even so, you never leave the Sun. You are the Shining Sun that you wonder at.

You stare into a ruby without awareness that you are the ruby that you see. You look through the ruby and yet do not see the ruby as it is -- a reflection of you and your light. You do not recognize that you are the Whole Wide Universe and all that is beyond and what you see, you are seeing through yourself.

We might say that this moment right in front of you is like a mantra. You are with it, and then you forget it. When you realize you have forgotten this moment, having drifted off somewhere, you come back to it. When your mind strays from the Sun that you are, I invite you to come back to your awareness of the True Nature of Life where you permanently abide with Me. In the moment, now, right where you happen to be, you dwell in Eternity.

Funny how this takes 5265 reminders and maybe a thousand more and a corresponding number of years to truly take hold.

Rover, your take on this is

Rover, your take on this is so open -- a delight to read. Yes, it takes a while and then again! That must be why God has a new Heavenletter every day. Thanks.

There is someone who is posting every day who needs to read the guidelines for posting, for every day he leaves a post panning God's words , and every day his comment has to be removed. The purpose of this forrum is not for anyone to take over for God and set God straight.

You are free to have your own opinion. God is the Teacher here. See the guidelines above.

If you feel you truly do know more than God in Heavenletters, start your own forum, if you please.

it takes a while

Well, I guess that if we seriously began "to live in the moment" today, "not thinking of something else", we should be able, within a few days or weeks, to "become the Universe". At least this Heavenletter appears to beautifully supply all the necessary hints, like

— "In a sense, beloveds, you are the present. This is more than being in the present."
— "It is even away from the moment if you think you must focus."
— "In the present, there is no right or wrong."

I wonder what would happen if we practiced this Heavenletter.

Dear Rover, you bring up the

Dear Rover, you bring up the idea of practicing Heavenletters. It is my understanding that Heavenletters do not work that way. Heavenletters are not a practice, a study, something that we work at, not at all. We don't try to achieve Heavenletters. We do not study them. Why don't we? If trying worked, sure we would.

There is a Heavenletter entitled How to Read a Heavenletter #1314 written in June 2004.

Heavenletters are not a course of study. They are not an intellectual pursuit. You don't learn them. Your heart soaks them up. You take them seriously in the sense that you read them, and you can read them again. A good idea is to read a Heavenletter out loud. Let Heavenletters seep in. Heavenletters enter you on the feeling level.

Heavenletters aren't something you DO. You receive them.

I'm so glad you brought up this point.

Thanks for being here.

An Everyday Kind of God

God said:

I am ever-present in your life. I hang around with you through thick and thin. I am with you always. I am with you now.

You are reading Me now. Do you get some feel for the beat of My heart as it beats in you? I am close to you right now. I am an ordinary kind of God who goes everywhere with you. I am no stranger to you. I am not an exclusive God. I am an inclusive God. I don’t require your belief in Me to know Me. There are no requirements at all except your letting down your defenses.

Let Heavenletters seep in

I agree, Gloria. What I meant to say was "put into practice" in the sense of "take it to heart and see where it leads us"; which means staying close to the exact wording of this particular Heavenletter, truly letting it in and allowing it to elevate us to its own lofty height of "In the present, there is no right or wrong." What does this sentence mean? Discussing it is not leading us there because it's not just a sentence, it's not just a point made. It's a wildfire, and "practicing" it, in my understanding, is allowing it to do its work of cleansing us of "right or wrong". So, seriously, "What does it mean to live in the moment?" That is what I was wondering.

Dearest Rover, yes, I

Dearest Rover, yes, I understand. I wanted to be sure that everyone sees this. I don't worry about you! "Take it to heart and see where it leads us; which means staying close to the exact wording of this particular Heavenletter, truly letting it in and allowing it to elevate us to its own lofty height" or not.

We're not graded. We don't have to learn something. We read. Do see how you feel reading a Heavenletter aloud. Then the message comes in through our ears as well.

Please remember I am a reader like anyone else. By the nature of hearing God whisper Heavenletters, I am in the position of having read every Heavenletter many times -- in receiving the Heavenletter, in typing it, in proofing it many times down the line, in reading it when it is published, and also in taking out quotes from it for Twitter as soon as it is published. Like anyone else, I can read a Heavenletter a year letter, and have no recollection of it whatsoever.

It's been 18 or more years that Heavenletters have been a strong daily influence in my life. I have grown miles. I needed to. Mostly what happens is that when I read a comment or hear someone's remark, it feels true or it doesn't, and that's what I have to go by just like you.

I never want you to feel you have to defend yourself.

Stream of Timelessness

I love this river of Life where there is no past and no future. I feel so safe in the Presence of the Present Eternal Moment. I Love You Heaven Letters. You are a gift and a blessing in my Life.
