WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Dear Maria, delighted that you came to this forum. We look forward to getting to know you and reading your posts. Extra thrilled that you are from Greece.

How did you find us, dear one?

And do you know that a fine publisher in Greece is going to be publishing a Heaven book in your language?

Please write back.

With love and blessings,

Gloria

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Hello from Athens,Greece!!

THANK YOU VERY,VERY MUCH for the warm and personal welcome!
I could not believe my eyes when I saw your name on a today post. You,the author of a worldwide success that have so many things to do everyday, still take the trouble to write back to people on board! I'm lost for words.You are a very kind and humble person.

You must have heard all that again so I stop it here.Allow me to say only a last word.I 've accidentally skimmed through the forum memberlist and saw names of countries that I hardly knew in which continent they are.Isnt't that amazing?! Heavenletters have travelled to the four corners of the earth and now opened a branch in Greece! :lol: This forum is like the U.N !

I'll recount at length in the relevant topic how my spiritual path got me here, to this magnificent forum that feels like home ,so I will only say now ,because I don't want to bore you, that I heard about Heaven letters at angeltherapy.com. I'm sorry to say that you were the first to inform me about a Heaven book being published in Greece. I'm disapointed with the delay that great spiritual books get published here. Thank God,yours is to be published amazingly soon. Usually,it takes a decade for a best seller book abroad to be translated in greek.
:D

Love and blessings from Greece!Thank you for being such a delightful answer to my prayers to meet foreign and like-minded people!!! It was so nice to meet you!

Maria,28 years old.
A few words about me.I adore children,my family,nature,walking at the beach,chatting (especially with cheerful persons),laughing,eating chocolate (help me Lord quit this addiction!) :D ,smelling the morning breeze etc etc

MARIA!

Dear Maria,

What a bright light you are! There are many bright lights here as you have already noticed.

I love what you said, that this is like a U.N. forum. I love international too. One world, isn't it?

Yes, I cannot always respond to posts as I would like to, Maria. Thankfully, others like you come in and respond and make everyone welcome and keep the forum moving along. I always read every post.

When I saw you were from Greece, I just had to respond. You may be our first subscriber from Greece.

And, happily, a magnificent publisher from Greece is the first foreign publisher who has come forward. He did not wait ten years, and he didn't wait for Heavenletters to become a best-selling book in the U.S.

The publisher is in Athens. His name is Panos Axiomakaros. The name of his publishing company is Bolero Publishing, Ltd. This publisher is quick, not slow! God bless him. May he be well-rewarded for spreading God's words in Greece.

We are just signing the contract now, Maria. It will be six months before the book in Greece is actually out. Maria, what will the title, Heavenletters, Love Letters from God, Book One, look in the beautiful and ancient Greek language? Will you show us?

You live near the ocean! Lucky you!

I saw a movie years ago that showed the beauty of Greece. The name of the movie was Shirley Valentine.

As for addiction to chocolate, I'm afraid there is no cure! :)

There is a Heavenletter you will like -- #1714 What more can you ask of a world that gives you chocolate?

With love and blessings,

Gloria

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Hello from Athens-Greece! (I'm defining that because I know there are a lot of cities in the U.S named after Athens).

I wish we could communicate without words.Only,then,you could feel in your heart how much grateful and happy I am that you treated me so nice and gently from the very moment I set my foot in here.Thank you! I feel obliged to you all!

As a rather intuitive person, I somehow knew that you were going to respond.Of course, as I've told you in my previous post, I was overwhelmed by the fact that you in person greeted me.It was a great honor speaking with you! I bow to you.You are more than an angel...Oh,the words' barrier again! :D I give up!

Sorry for the jabber.I'll be briefer.

1) I didn't know that Panos Axiomakaros was also a publisher. Maybe I'm not the right person to inform you.I've seen that man several times on a T.V programme about spirituality subjects and the only thing I could say about him is that I got impressed by his calm way of speaking and also,the depth of his knowledge on metaphysics.Listening to my intuition again, I can assure you that you made a fine choice!

I wish the very best to Heavenletters on their greek journey! They will be the awaking call for a lot of people who now feel abandoned or in the rut. I,myself got out from the amnesia and the illusion of separation from God thanks to an also channeled book by the tile "Conversations with God".

2) Here is the title in greek (I felt a shiver down my spine right now as I realised that I will translate now God's word into greek.I can't still get used to the idea that I and God are one,so when I speak of Him,I feel utter joy and mightness coming through me) " Επιστολές από τον Παράδεισο, Επιστολές Αγάπης από τον Θεό, Τόμος Πρώτος".
Smiling in a big way now!!! Thank you for giving me this unique chance. There's a high vibration behind these words.

To be honest, from the first time I saw that I could help with the translation into greek, I thought of offering my help but I hesitated. I now feel more confident. You see,I have no difficulty in understanding written english.The only trouble is in writting it :D As a matter of fact, after finishing my law studies, I was thinking of takings exams for the English Literature faculty.

3) I smiled when I read your phrase "You live by the ocean" :lol: Ocean is an american exression. We don't have the big,rough seas you have there. Here the sea is not so deep and dangerous like the ocean. It's more mild and friendly and we just call it "sea".

Oh, I wish I had a big house in a greek island so that I could accomodate all the forum's members.Google the word Santorini.It's one of the most spectacular greek isalnds and it's ranked among the top 10 most beautiful landscapes of earth. It's a pity you haven't visited Greece yet! But neither have I watched the movie you reffered to! Thanks for mentioning that! I'll try to find it next time I go to the dvd-club.

4) A big and totally unforessen miracle happened! The addiction to chocolate was cured the day I told you about it. A 20-year unbeatable addiction came to an end very easily and what is more abruptly. When I tasted some chocolate mousse yesterday,just out of habit and in order to feel better, I got a quite annoying ache in my liver.I related automatically I my mind the ache with the chocolate and I immediately thanked God for giving me the only reason that could stop me from eating chocolate : the protection of my health! That was it! I'm through with chocolate! I won't jeopardise my health for a minute's savour. 8)

I wasn't brief, I know :D
Please,don't bother to respond. I know you are very busy.We'll meet again in the forum. Thanks again for the time we shared. Life is beautiful,isn't it?We must let go things. We are taken care of!

Sending you love from Greece! I wish I could send you some of the fresh fish and salad my I'm gonna have now! Bye!!!

Maria-Greece

MARIA! THIS IS WONDERFUL!

Dear Maria,

You give me no choice! I have to answer. You used some magic words, like Panos and translate to say nothing of beautiful blue seas! And how very powerful this is: Επιστολές από τον Παράδεισο, Επιστολές Αγάπης από τον Θεό, Τόμος Πρώτος.

Does Θεό mean God?

Maria, am I understanding correctly that you might translate Heavenletters into Greek for us? You really might? What a blessing!

Let me tell you how it works.

You would choose which Heavenletters you would like to translate, one at a time. Some translators translate once a week, twice a week, and one is doing virtually every day. I urge translators to translate only as many as they comfortably can. I never want a translator to feel that he or she is behind. It has happened that a translator has been so eager and sincere that they get burned out, and we don't want that to happen. So please feel no pressure. And please know that each Heavenletter translated is considered a precious gift.

Now I should tell you what the qualifications are. The main one is that you love Heavenletters and that you would really like to translate them -- in other words, that your heart is in it. This criteria has worked very well.

So let me know, and if it's Yes, I will tell you the procedures when you have finished a translation.

It was also good news to hear how well-known Panos, the publisher, is, and how well-respected. By virtue of his credibility and his consciousness, he will make the Heavenletter book in Greece a best-seller, and so many more people will be receiving the love and wisdom of Heavenletters.

And, yes, I understand the gentleness of the sea in Greece.

Blessings and love,

Gloria

IT'S A DEAL!

Hi! I'm invisible again! :) I still haven't figured out why I'm not allowed to log in,but I don't have to worry about that. It will be fixed sometime.

Yes,Θεός in greek means God.It is pronounced Theos.And fancy that! My surname in greek means "a gift by the God"! Amazing,isn't it?

Now, about the translation.Yes,I'D LOVE TO DO IT but please, until I get the right tempo,let's arrange to do one translation a week on trial. That would suit me best for the time being firstly,because I have many irons in the fire and secondly,because I'm very fastidious with wording issues (I always had an A plus in greek when I was at school),therefore I spend much time combing the text and finding the right words that will make it flow like a river .

So,as long as you are ok with one traslation per week, I'll proceed starting from today and when I'm through with the first one,I'll contact you with a private message.

Thank you very much!
Maria Greece

EUREKA!

Dearest Maria,

Is one translation a week okay? It is wonderful. It is a dream come true.
Glad and grateful to have one translation a week.

I will ask Adrachin to make a place on this forum for the Greek translations, and I will ask Santhan to make a place for them on the program that sends Heavenletters out to subscribers and on the web site.

This is, indeed, wonderful news, Maria. Thank you very very much.

Ah, God is pronounced Theo. Theo appears in several English words. Now such words are more meaningful to me.

How do you say God bless you in Greek?

With love and blessings,

Gloria

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

This is so great! Thank you so much!

Theosophy is a good example of a compound english word that contains the word Theos (= God) before an also greek word, "sophy" that means wisdom .So the girls that are named Sofie or Sofia should be proud because their name means Wisdom.

But the word theory has no connection with God .It derives directly from the greek verb theoro(=observe,think,believe) and it is not a compound word (Thoe + ro ? There is no such thing).An also compound word that sprang to my mind now is Philosophy ( philo + sophy. Philo means I love, so the famous cheese and the city Philadelphia mean in greek,PHILO = I love --- ADELPHIA = my siblings,my brothers and sisters. It was irrelevant but I thought it would be interesting to mention it. :)

"Bless you" is quite tricky to be translated because there is no exact phrase with identical meaning in greek. According to my opinion -please note that I'm not a linguist, I just take an interest in languages,that's why I'm so glad I was assigned to the Heavenletters' translation- , as I was saying, according to my opinion "bless you" could be conveyed through the expression "NA ISE KALA!" (in the singular) or "NA ISTE KALA" (in the plural) meaning "I wish you good or I wish you health".

I hope I didn't kill you with my chattering! Na iste kala!

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Goodmornining.
I had an almost tragic accident Monday noon as I was coming back from work with my bicycle. A huge truck overrun my bicycle as I had dismounted from it and was trying to cross the road carefully. I'm shocked.I couldn't believe I was almost killed although I was so careful.Thank God the driver heard my screams and stopped the truck,otherwise I would be melted now.I've hurt my right breast, thank God no rib was broken and I have also some cuts and bruises here and there on my body.Mrs Gloria, I'm shocked.I know God wants me alive and having a long life,but I couldn't get the bigger picture, WHY this happened to me. The explanation that there is no coincidence, that all is well taken care of,that my Higher self created this along with the other people affected by the accident to serve a higher purpose that my human mind can't conceive,all this comforts me but I still want to cry in a hug.
Friends and relatives that heard the news from my mother said that I should be happy I was safe and sound but I stil feel numb. I'm surely grateful to my angels but I'm shocked. I'm sure this is gonna pass.
I'll have some translations ready by Sunday.I was going to get to them at Monday noon but all this happened and got me out of my trail.I'm almost back again. My breast still aches a little and also from the shock, my period was disaranged but everything will be fixed with the help of God.

My email is : margod [at] mail [dot] gr. I would e-mail you but I still haven't sorted out my registration problem. I'm waiting for an answer by the administrator.This will be fixed soon.

Goodbye for now
Maria

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Dear Maria,
I'm the Italian translator of Heavenletters. I wanted to comment on your exchange with Gloria already earlier but I just didn't find the right moment. I feel the beauty of your heart in your words. In this moment you are shocked by the accident that happened to you, and that is quite OK. I think it's useless to try to understand the 'bigger picture' in this moment. God works in misterious ways, and perhaps everything will be clear to you later on. Sometimes things happen to us that serve more to the people around us than to ourselves.
I can tell you that I have a sister who is a powerful healer, but she didn't want to accept it, so she kept looking for 'normal' jobs. Last year she had an embolus and she got half paralized. When we met, she told me that she was stopped because she was going in the wrong direction. She's much better now and she's doing her healing work.
If you feel a need to understand, maybe you can make a direct question to God through Gloria. I've got some enlightening answers to my own questions. The last one is published on the Godwriting blog.
Dear Maria, it seems strange to me that the Greek language doesn't have an expression for 'God bless you'. Anyway I pray God to bless you and if you need any help with the translations, just ask.
You are safe and protected.
Paula

MARIA -- AND THANK YOU, PAULA!

Dearest Maria,

Of course, you are in a state of shock. Accidents happen fast and unexpectedly. Thank God you were careful. And I am so grateful and happy that you were so lucky. I say all this as a human being. God would tell us there is no death. You are forever. But, ah, we are emotionally attached to these bodies.

Thank you for your email address, Maria. I just checked your subscription to Heavenletters and made it so that you are now actively subscribed. I didn't know you weren't receiving Heavenletters! I won't permit it! Tomorrow you will automatically start receiving. Meanwhile, I will send you a Heavenletter or two and the latest Heaven News.

As for this forum, you are having difficulty registering?

Adrachin is on a temporary leave of absence to take care of some personal matters. Kirt McCurdy, Heaven's webmaster, will take over until Adrachin is back.

I'm wondering if you can try to register for forum again. Like start over. Use a different name. If you call yourself Greece, I will know who you are! I will send you complete directions to your email address. Hope it works.

You may be sure I'm looking forward to receiving your first translation!

Cara Paula, what a beautiful message you wrote. You bless us all. You are like an angel who visits the forum, leaves a message, and makes all of us feel good.

With love and blessings,

Gloria

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Dear Paula,thank you so much...

Since the day of the accident, a big avalanche of deep hidden thoughts of despair about the direction of my life and a feeling of failure and guilt were released inside me and step by step now I'm trying to sort out my thoughts.
What you said about your sister shook me up and started me thinking in a new way that hasn't ocuured to me all these days.Could this accident be a nudge from God to go on with my life purpose?And what if my life's purpose is just to build a nice family and serve people from a normal job?

I'm surely gonna follow your advice to send a letter to God through Mrs Gloria.I was going to send it before the accident but I could not decide on what the only and one question would be and.... besides that,my question was like a request for a prediction.I wanted to know what road would it be safe to follow.

Dear Paula, I'm feeling awkward now because I keep talking about myself and I open my heart in public but I have decided to stop bothering about what the other people might think and be more intimate,as I truly wish to be.Thank you again for the loving support....
I'll go to the Godwriting blog now to read the answer you got from God. Thanks again..

Maria-Greece

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Thank you so much Mrs Gloria.Yes,we are emotionally attached to these bodies, although we mistreat them or do not always fully appreciate their worth and beauty.
Sorry for replying to Paula first.You must have posted this as I was writing my reply to Paula.I fully agree. She is an angel...I can tell it by the way my heart responded to her post.

All's well that ends well...I will change my username to Margod-Greece. Thank you for everything you did for me!

Love,
ex Maria-Greece :D (I feel like a criminal with so many nicknames)

TESTING!

Testing!

MARIA MAR-GOD!

You did it. You are registered. You are here!

God bless you, angel.

With love, Gloria

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Dear Maria,
don't worry about opening your heart in public: that's just what God wants from us. Once I read a message from Mother Mary, where she said: 'Only a fragmented soul doesn't share of itself.' - I remember it always when I feel like keeping something back. All our heart's experiences may be of help and service to someone else.

If you found God's answer to me on the Godwriting block, you'll have noticed by now that God doesn't give detailed instructions for our lives. Actually, He was quite clear about it when He told me that I was trying to limit Him. Anyway, if you have more than one question, I think God will not mind. Just see Neil's question on the same blog; it's longer than God's answer. God knows what you need just now.

I would just like to give you a piece of advice, if you don't mind: Don't try so much to figure out what's your life's purpose or mission. It can be a big trap, I can tell you from my own experience. I think our purpose is revealed to us step by step, and the basic purpose of our lives is to bring God's Kingdom to Earth by opening our hearts and raising our consciousness. And I think you are already doing this.

I'm not an angel more than you are. It's God who speaks through all of us, and in one Heavenletter He said: One day you'll see that I sent you nothing but angels.
Lots of love,
Paula

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Dear Paula,where exactly is this blog?I tried to find it but nothing.

Thank you so much for the understanding and the very useful remark about being brief and clear.I'll keep it in mind when I 'll be writing the letter to God because indeed I do try to limit Him and take control over things.

I owe you so much! Thanks again!
Maria

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Dear Maria,
you can find the blog here:

http://www.godwriting.org/

It's funny how we see things from our own perspective. With my note about Neil's question, I meant to say that God doesn't mind if your question is even very long, He will tell you anyway what you need to hear in this moment. I didn't mean that you should necessarily be brief. We don't limit God with our questions, we (try to) limit Him with our expectations of how the answer should be.
I hope you are feeling better now, recovering from your accident.
May God bless you!
Love,
Paula

WELCOME, MARIA-GREECE

Dear Paula,thank you for sending me the address! I've just entered the Godwriting's blog and the first letter I read,was yours to God. God's answer to your reply brought tears in my eyes.He is so ...I can't find the words. God loves you so much... His reply is long and gives an answer to all your worries.

I know He is always with us but this is some kind of an official answer...I guess that you have already printed the answer in a paper,isn't that right?

I'm looking forward to God's reply to my letter too but a small detail is missing...I still haven't written it :D It's something very important to me.I've got to clear my mind and speak from my heart.I'll do this when I'm ready.

Love to you and all,
Maria-Greece
