Make Room for Love

Heavenletter #3665 Published on: December 7, 2010
God said:

You like what you like, and you don’t like what you don’t like. That is fair enough. What you like, however, matters. What you don’t like, let it go. Carry on. Let go of the bygones. Don’t carry them. Do not put your nose up in the air about what you don’t like. In terms of life, what you don’t like isn’t important. What you don’t like is only what you don’t like. Don’t complain. Move over to what you do like.

Don’t get enmeshed in your troubles or anyone else’s. For what purpose? For commiseration? For drama? For gossip? Does talk of trouble make you important? Does talk of trouble make you a star? A prima-donna? Do you think that talk of troubles, yours or someone else’s, somehow makes you smart or powerful? Or does it make you weak?

Dislikes don’t need your full attention. Walk away from them. You do not have to be superior to anything, not to anything. You, who may well have lack of sense of self worth, nevertheless feel yourself superior or more discerning than others. You lick your chops over what you see as less.

By certain standards, you feel superior to the ant that crawls at your feet. But are you, are you really? You and the ant are here at My bidding, and ants do what ants do, and you do what human beings do. Ants are earnest, and they work hard, and they support one another. You do not even imagine what purpose ants play in your life and the life of the world, and birds sing a beautiful song each morning. And why not you? Why not you?

Find more to like and more to value. Do it today. Imagine all the little things that serve you, and yet you have overlooked them, as if they aren’t worth your attention. You haven’t thought for one minute to value them. Value them now. The floor under your feet. The ground you walk on. The sky above. A moving shadow. The sunlight. Laughter. Give importance to what you like. Do not give importance to what you don’t like.

I am pointing you to love. Love the leaves that fall. Love the pines. Love the weather. Love the hot and love the cold. They all serve you. Growing things breathe with you. The same God loves you and all the growing things. Let Us call love – what shall We call love? – that which you honor, that which you appreciate, that which you call yourself to do, that which you thank Me for, that which you value. So value a lot. Value more. Like more. Respect more. Love more. As you appreciate more, you love more. You will love yourself more.

Discontentment lies with yourself. Put your discontent on a thousand things outside you, and discontent still comes down to you. The outside world does not demand discontent from you. You demand it from yourself, as though it were queenly to be discontent. It is not queenly. It is the opposite of queenly. Queenly is gracious, and I ask you to be gracious to the world and everything in it. Be gracious. Have manners. Have manners, and you will gain insights. Start liking everything you do. Start valuing yourself. In My book, there are no lowly anythings. I love everything. I love. Love is My State of Being. Adopt My State of Being. Love. See how much love you can stir up from the depths of your heart. Empty the trash. Bring in love. Make room for love.

Dislikes don’t need your full attention. Walk away from them.

Dislikes. Having many, you wonder what they are. How can a child of God have dislikes or the delusion of superiority and things like that?

That's not really a question, at least not one asking for yet another explanation. The answer can be sensed. Discontent. Anger. Fear. Or whatever it is in your case. From the point of view of conventional wisdom which presupposes time, those emotions may have "originated" decades ago and would have to be called chronic. But it doesn't matter whether they have a real history or not, for they are alive and kicking now. Perhaps discontent and anger and arrogance, even of low intensity, are enough in some or many cases to create lots of dislikes.

Dislikes crowd out love. The "No!" in a dislike, a no of discontent, anger, superiority or whatever you sense it is, can be quite strong. It also can be a no of boundless panic and terror, a shrieking no that, in the story, is the same now as it was those seeming years ago.

That's a strange mechanism in this so-called reality that things of an alleged distant past remain so powerfully effective. One day you find out it's you who is actively keeping that effectiveness up. And a little later you find out that nothing terrible ever happened. You are making it up now and now and now!

How am I to walk away from my own bogeymen? Particularly when, deep down, I still take them for real?

Find more to like and more to value. Well, there is very much I truly like and value. Otherwise, how could I live with my dislikes, how could I live with panic and terror?

Love the leaves that fall. Okay, You win. Falling leaves have always broken my heart effortlessly.

Nothing, however, seems to brake that ancient-feeling sense of doom. Understanding that it's my own fabrication, I really understand nothing. Otherwise, how could I go on fabricating it? It's so strange, this shadow boxing. Perhaps love can grow anyway.......

Beloved Jochen, I have the feeling that it is a very good thing not to understand anything. In fact, I believe a recently-written Heavenletter says that! That's a relief! I understand nothing too.

Yes, but it's easier said

On December 7th, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

Yes, but it's easier said than done, isn't it. Once not understandig is recognized as something desirable, it first becomes obvious how amazingly much we think we understand in the course of a day.

From my little self who is

On December 7th, 2010 Johanne says:

From my little self who is blind and seeking, I would attempt to state that we do not understand because we do not see the WHOLE picture. Until then, I feel I must carry on and learn what is the lesson!

LIGHT please, in gratitude to all,
Johanne

I think effectively that

On December 9th, 2010 Normand Bo... says:

I think effectively that there is nothing to understand "separately". Because everything that we perceive as separate entities (a table, a hair, an emotion, an idea…) have no meaning because they are nothing per se. Nothing we see means anything.

But when we start looking on all things with open-mindedness—which is the prerequisite of understanding— appreciation and love, you can no longer see them as meaningless or un-understandable. Nothing is as it appears to us. There is a holy purpose beyond that tiny separate part we see of them. Holy is Wholly. In this HL, I think God is bringing us to the vision that He is in everything we see. In the ant and even in the trash bin. In Oneness there are no objects, only pure interrelations. So God says that He is in everything we see with understanding, respect, appreciation and love.

Dearest MAESTRO, YOU EMPHASIZE NOT GETTING INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S TROUBLES THROUGHOUT THIS LETTER.

You say things like STOP THINKING YOU'RE SUPERIOR TO AN ANT. But all things, ants included serve me well.

Everyone and everything I see, and yes, ants surely , have the power to bless me. Birds teach me the real meaning of songs.

lovely, lovely, keep that breathless charm, won't you please arrange it, for I love all things just the way they are tonight and at all

times. I can sing a beautiful song each morning I do remember Angela singing much. Singing while she worked in the kitchen.

Songs that sounded like they were accompanied by harps. Very sweet, indeed. YOU'RE SAYING, ALL GROWING THINGS

BREATHE WITH YOU. APPRECIATE MORE, APPRECIATE MORE , ADMIRE MORE. RESPECT MORE. YOU ARE ASKING ME

TO BE GRACIOUS TO THE WORLD. YOU SAY, HAVE MANNERS AND YOU'LL GAIN INSIGHT. I SHALL DO THAT, FOR I AM

CERTAINLY CAPABLE OF LOVE

Beloved Maryann, it's so

I just love all these messages about Love. It's "slap upside the head" reminder of the underlying, or is it overlying Truth about us. It's so much easier to just love. When I don't, I suffer so. Thanks for these "songs" of love. jj

I love your post! Thanks for

Understanding, Appreciation and Love

On December 8th, 2010 Normand Bo... says:

It might not be easy to access or perceive God's Love for us. It is probably because Love is so entwined with Knowledge, Clarity and Discernment. In God, Love and Knowledge are Oneness, Wholeness. But with our self-made personal mind, we are confusing two "voices" and also two "sights".

The personal mind does not create anything. It fabricates images, idols that it seems to worship but these worships are arising from fear. These images are merely symbols. The personal mind cannot create with love so it cannot fundamentally appreciate, respect or love what it fabricates. It is always in a state of confusion between pleasure and sorrow. It loses itself into the realm of "having" or "getting" but certainly not into the realm of "being". So no real understanding is possible with the personal mind.

But the righteous Mind, which is the Mind that God gave us, sees only what is Real, what is True. Recognizing and Acknowledging Truth is the first step which leads to appreciation of the Truth. With Recognition comes Understanding and with Understanding comes appreciation because it is very easy to identify with what you understand and make it part of yourself. And how can you make something part of you if not through love?

Don't ask your ego to understand this because it does not even understand what it makes. So don't expect it to appreciate and love it. Ego can't be anything but dissatisfied, always wanting more (power included) but always bringing your mind in a state of deceit and delusion. Since ego fuels itself on a basic sense of lack, it is a parasite that feeds on you. It is a foreign body like a virus. It is not you. "Discontentment lies with yourself. Put your discontent on a thousand things outside you, and discontent still comes down to you". DIssatisfaction deprives you, decreases you.

So we end up with a weakened ability to be grateful. So we need to develop this ability. Because there are no degrees in appreciation. Appreciation is fullness, wholeness. This understanding of appreciation gives rise to appreciation itself which brings the understanding of love and love itself.

God created us with His Understanding, His Appreciation and His Love. His Will is for us to extend them to the world.
