All the things that happen in life, in the world, no matter how wonderful nor how dire, the importance you give to them is overblown. Pro or con, events in life are not what you are to go by. They are not the helm of your ship. The helm of your ship is much more subtle than the third dimension you appear to live in.
We are speaking of equanimity here. Neither go up nor down according to the world around you. This is what I mean when I say that whatever happens, it is not your concern. What happens in life is merely something that happens. It does not affect the eternal aspects of you, nor should you think it puts you in a different ball park. Whatever occurs, it does not touch your divinity, the same way when clouds rain and sun shines -- you are you regardless. You may prefer the sun, or you may prefer the rain, but, truly, beloveds, what do they have to do with you?
If you pray for rain, and it rains, be glad that it rains and yet know that it rains with or without your desire. If you want the sun to shine, and it shines, be glad then but know your eternal nature. Go to the beach and get a tan, if that is your desire, and know that you are the same on the sands of the beach as you are in your recliner at home or sleeping on a park bench.
What is this in life that is so sought after that you think it is the making of you? Or something unsought that is the unmaking of you?
I made you, beloveds. You are already made in My image. You know that image is not physical. You know that I am made of that which does not change, and I AM forever at your service. I am a Great Servant, and I serve you. I take you your food. I clothe you, yet I involve far more than the physical realm of life. The physical is such a temporary dot while you are always a contemporary of My heart.
Roller coasters go up and down, but you are not a roller coaster. You are more like a swan on the lake of life. You paddle along, and you enjoy the paddling, and you enjoy the water, and you enjoy the scenery. And all who watch also enjoy you. You are never meant to be a hurricane nor any kind of tempest. You are the swan on the lake. You are the soul of My heart, and you are embedded in My heart. Our hearts touch. So close to Me are you – it is a wonder that you ever think you are somewhere else adrift in the world.
My heart is your anchor, beloveds, and you are anchored in My heart which is just where you belong. And yet you have thought you were absent. You are capable of a great deal, but capable of making an exit from My heart? Never. That is an absolute. I am the Absolute, and you are part and parcel of Me.
Now We are getting somewhere. We are getting to the heart of things. You are the love of My life. There, I have said it. If you are that to Me, then inevitably, I am the same for you. We are One and the Same, beloveds. We are Our hearts’ content. Would you have it some other way? Would you like Us to be strangers?
Of course, you have sometimes thought We were separated by a fence or an imaginary line of some kind, but Oneness cannot be separated. Oneness stays Oneness. There is no stranger among Us. There is only One of Us. That you play many parts, does not mean you have departed. You have gone nowhere. Only in your imagined life on Earth do you jump around, and now I tell you that you don’t have to. Simply stay submerged in love, and the world will follow you.
