Let New Thinking Begin!

Heavenletter #3358 Published on: February 3, 2010

God said:

Let new thinking begin! If you are someone who thinks, try on new thoughts for size. What you are sure about, be less sure about. See what happens.

What I am saying to you is to be amenable to growing. How do you grow when you keep to old thoughts as though they were sacrosanct?

When was the last time you had a new thought? New thoughts are offered to you, and there is a tendency to block them.

That I AM may be a new thought for you. That I love you abundantly may be a new thought to you. That you can know Me as your very self may be a new thought to you.

What is so precious about old ways of thinking that you hold on so tight?

I am asking you to consider other thoughts.

Great literature can be read on many levels. Great literature exists on more than one level. Do you understand Me? There is the literal level. There is the metaphoric. There are levels within levels. Your thoughts can also be read on more than one level.

As your consciousness grows, you see from a greater height. So I am asking you to be open to new ways of thinking. I do not tell you to accept everything that comes before you. I suggest you be open. There could be a kernel of truth in a new thought, or there could not. I ask that you consider the possibility.

Once upon a time all the good people on Earth thought that the Earth was flat. No matter how well-endorsed, what was taken for truth did not tell the whole story. According to the logic in Columbus' day, it made sense to think the Earth was flat. It did not make sense to think it was round. What seems like sense to you may not be the way to determine truth. Logic can only go so far. Logic is limited, beloveds.

Do not be adamant about keeping the thinking you presently have. Do not close yourself off from thinking something you never thought before. It is okay to let go of old thinking. It is okay to embrace new thoughts. Open to the possibility that there is something new for you to think.

Because you thought one way once doesn't mean you can't think a new way today. You don't have to think a new way. Just be open to it.

It is a lovely thought that you can think one way today and think another way tomorrow. What a freeing thing!

Your thoughts do not have to be battened down, nailed to the wall, frozen in time, irrevocable. Your thoughts can bud like flowers. They can ripen like fruit.

As a human being on Earth, you do not know everything. When you do not know everything, you can grow. It is possible to learn new ways of weaving on a loom. It is possible to learn new ways of weaving hair. You can learn new ways of weaving life. You can learn new ways. You do not have to keep the old.

Truth is not a style. It is not fashion. The old truth may well be true and good to keep. And yet, you have new eyes to see, and you are entitled to see in a new light. Keep your eyes and ears open, beloveds. I put My trust in you as a growing being who also learns new ways of thinking, not every new thought that crosses the bounding main, but some, some thoughts that you may never have thought before.

new thoughts

On February 3rd, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

What you are sure about, be less sure about.

This seems to be the main difficulty, at least for me. And when I'm sure about something, it's only natural that thoughts suggesting something else won't make it through the filter of my certainty. They don't really reach me even if I read and intellectually understand and appreciate them, even if I realize that my certainty is only old conditioning and not counting for much. New thoughts remain strangely lifeless (which I may not even notice) and are forgotten the next moment. New thoughts are offered to you, and there is a tendency to block them. Yes, that's what I have been observing in myself and others. It's more readily detectable in others, of course, for how could you see your own blind spots? You simply can't. God has to point them out to you, or you still won't see them a thousand years from now.

I believe this is the reason why many things are mentioned again and again in Heavenletters. This is how my certainties get loosened little by little until they can be extracted like that rotten old tooth I lost last week. I want to keep my certainties, and I want them to go, but it seems the die is cast.

My new thought is that love is.

And often I feel I almost get it when I read one of those indescribably sweet passages my mind cannot grasp while my heart clearly knows everythingt, for instance

You discover that you are Myself thinking of you (Myself). You do not exist separate from Me, which is to say, you do not exist. The train of thought you have gone off on seems like existence but you are an embodiment of that which is eternal love and cannot be embodied. You represent Me in this circular motion. You are My representative on Earth, even though there is no Earth. It certainly seems that there is Earth, for We walk on it, but We walk off into the Sunset or the Sunrise of which there is no difference, for We are beyond, and the sun neither sets nor rises except in this illusion We have temporarily agreed upon. We think it is Our playing field but it is merely a rumble of thought, a heartbeat of Oneness playing at something else.

The filter of our mind

On February 4th, 2010 Chuck Gebh... says:

Jochen, I find your sentence incredibly rich and stimulating: “And when I'm sure about something, it's only natural that thoughts suggesting something else won't make it through the filter of my certainty.” It is a powerful self-observation that applies to us all. As this sentence implies, the thoughts that we have accepted as true and our resulting beliefs are not a loose, chaotic jumble in our minds. They are highly organized, layered and mutually self-supporting. They form a belief system, of course, that guides our view of the world.

This system is alive and constantly being at least slightly re-formed with each new experience and as we consider each new idea. But, as your sentence observes, we do not accept new ideas or even new information if it does not fit well with the vast edifice that already exists in our mind. What doesn’t fit we hold temporarily, and try to make it fit, or we reject it

Heavenletters are revolutionary to our native thought system. They resonate within us in profound and undeniable ways while they also conflict with what we have always believed and what the world accepts. Having said these things, which I feel very confidant of, I am not as sure about what comes next. It seems like the reading of Heavenletters and the commenting about them and meditating about them and trying to apply them in our lives slowly builds this resonance into a totally reformed thought structure and belief system. I think this is why there is such an emphasis on ignoring the past. The past is embodied in our current belief system, which we are invited to reform. We must build anew and think in new ways and give up what we have relied on all our lives.

I always enjoy your comments, Jochen, you have a very penetrating way of looking at these things………….Chuck

Precisely, Chuck. This is

On February 4th, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

Precisely, Chuck. This is how I might have expressed it if I had your more scientific and organized doctor's mind. One thing I would put slightly differently (although I don't think we are in disagreement there) is that what lies ahead is not a new belief system but openness and flow, spontaneously going with whatever the moment holds – which may include precise thinking and planning.

A Walk through the Woods

On February 4th, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

There is this morning a cryptic new comment under Heaven #1281, "A Walk through the Woods", made by Michelle, a guest reader. Thanks for directing our attention to this wonderful Letter, Michelle, which feels to me like a continuation of this one about new thinking.

In old thinking, we "stem liefe", we "swim stiffly". But then that Heavenletter leads us into the woods where we go "Aaahh" and are free of that old thinking for the duration of our walk. The air, the foliage and the streams and dappled sunlight on our path – when we are really there, that's new thinking. Isn't it remarkable that we hardly ever remember to walk through our daily life like that?

belief systems

On February 4th, 2010 Emilia says:

Old thinking or new thinking, I reject both as artificial. And when I think in terms of "belief system", of having to change it, I usually end by feeling in some way "manipulated". Despite what we can think, our minds are naturally permeable, rather than being too strong, they are often too weak and impressionable. It is relatively easy to make someone change his mind, "society" is constantly doing it.
The difficult thing is living without believing in anything registered by our senses, living beyond the mind, completely surrendered to the intelligent flow of life. But we still think in terms of "positive thinking", as if the mind could do the job of leading us to that ocean of love.

free

On February 4th, 2010 ancoterpstra says:

Dear Emilia,

I sense a strong drive for freeedom in your comments lately, why not just be free, if that is what is driving you?

Anco, you are right, but it

On February 5th, 2010 Emilia says:

Anco, you are right, but it is not always so easy to be what we want to be. Anyway, we go where we look.
Have a good day, dear one.

You too, dear Emilia, I respect your drive, being free is really something to go for!

LET KNEW THINKING BEGIN!

On February 3rd, 2010 mary moon (not verified) says:

DEAREST MAESTRO, A new thought such as "I AM THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE"

is not one that any human being readily understands or is at all willing to take on. As YOU
say, A human being surely does not know everything. But a great physicist realizes that the
uncertainty principle is an attitude that's necessary to grow. If I say, "I release mySELF to the Holy Spirit, TO YOU, GOD, than I necessarily am required to let go of old thoughts about
what I am and what I am capable of. YOUR THOUGHT SYSTEM IS LIGHT - I have read that.
and I am sure there is truly Divinity and great Nobility in YOUR THOUGHT SYSTEM.

If I say, "My mind holds only the Thoughts I think with GOD," I necessarily have to relinquish
all old ways of thinking!

So I, and I am hoping all my earthly brothers and sisters are willing to loose the world from every- we ever thought it was. Things are bound to become HEAVENLY AND SOON.

Senora, how in the world do

Senora, how in the world do Heavenletters happen!!!

This one is so powerful.

Gloria and new thought, new age, new being.

On February 3rd, 2010 George Mon... says:

When I was done with WWII, worked as a milk a man a few years to feed my two darling kids, I got ready for the university. My precious fat mother sat me down and said: "Son, be very careful of that "new thought" stuff, and don't read too many "worldly" books because they make you think their way." Her heart wrapped me in love.

At the university I heard "new thought" and read hundreds of "great books". Know what? They said just what my darling mother said, but in their own words. My heart swelled with knowing and growing and that it was ok for sweet people to think their world was flat if the flatness matched their growing insight. It was their love that me feel good.

Sure, it's best if the new thoughts fit comfortably in the new inner house you're building. It really helps to paint the walls with every shade of love's gentle light.

George

Right on, George!

On February 4th, 2010 Chuck Gebh... says:

George, I think you and your lovely mother have it exactly right. We do need to repaint our walls with love's gentle light. The inner vibration of Heavenletters is a wonderful paint brush!

On February 4th, 2010 ancoterpstra says:

This Heavenletter reminds me of something:

"Feeling with the mind and thinking with the heart"

When mind and heart fuse, will this become the new way of living?

Hello Friends,

God said you know what
You can know Me as your self
What a freeing thing
