Is it understood that you cannot stay in place? Is it understood that the planet is revolving? Beloveds, what is so wonderful about staying in place anyway? And yet there are times when you would like time to stop and certain times and places to stand still. You would like certain moments to last forever. I understand this. However, staying in place is not for you, for then you are immobilized. It is like being frozen. You are a warm vibrant Being who is spending some nonexistent time on Earth. You travel, beloveds. You hop from one illusory moment to the next.
If time and space are illusion, then you might ask, "Why then can't I stand in this beautiful moment of illusion? What difference does it make if I move or stay still?"
There is no choice. You either get out of bed yourself, or your mother pulls the covers off you.
We are talking about growth, beloveds. We are talking about your growth. Even on the playground, there is growth. There is inner and outer growth, even though the outer does not exist.
You live out your life on Earth in illusion. Your body is illusion. You aren't. You are real, not the body. There is not one body on Earth that is real, and yet those who are encased in bodies are real, and you are real. Yet no one is really wrapped up in his body. He may be entangled there, but not wrapped. There is no wrapping worthy of you. You are not the package you come in.
In a body, you move. Without your body, you also move. Your body is a moving van. You are the mover and the moved.
The human body is precious. It is a precious thing. It gives off light like a firefly. You may not consciously see the light that emanates from you and those you love or don't love, yet it is truly the light that you love, You may adore the body, yet you know that the body without its light is not loveable. It is only an empty carton.
While you are in a body on Earth, you habituate yourself to it, and you move on in it. The body is a conveyance that conveys you, the miracle of you.
How did I think up such a thing as a body and present it to you and tell you that it is illusion? Did I know you would mourn for bodies that are put aside? I know it now, and I ask you to give up mourning. Accept freeing instead. Accept that your loved ones live and never die, and it is the same for you.
I, God, am forever. Inevitably, you are forever. It cannot be otherwise.
Your individuality, like your body, is important to you. Individuality is precious, and yet your Universality is a greater preciousness. You cannot live without it.
Oh, beloveds, you are far more than that beauty mark on your cheek, or your handwriting, or even that twinkle in your eye. There is nothing more precious than you, and yet you are far more precious than this temporary identity of you. Beloveds, you are not the clothes you wear. You are not your body that wears the clothes.
That of you which is beyond the physical is called soul. Deep within you, you have this awareness. There is a soul presently who carries a body that carries your name. Your present name is an assumed identity, beloveds. Your true identify carries My Name.
A Heavenletter moves from one point to another, just as you do. And when you have finished reading the Heavenletter, it is not over. It lingers somewhere within you. Where is it within you that the soul of a Heavenletter lingers?
