I need glue, a lot of glue, to join the two. I woudn't know how else.

Fancy it, to get trapped in that gap. You still need to be fast, but it may work.

Then watch carefully, dear one.
I appreciated what you said, Osho used to say the same. Only we should not get lost in techniques and methods. I speak for myself of course.

Thank you for posting this piece, dear Victor. Much food for thought!

Certainly, I have some say over my thoughts. At the same time, I would rather have no thoughts, dear one.

Dear Chuck, I once got a randomly generated Heavenletter that said something intriguing on a mass phenomenon:

You think I take away your youth and substitute age, but that is only of the body; do not complain. It is a natural event in life due to the long-held mass belief in it…

Since I know some quite interesting books on mass consciousness, I thought, Now let's see what else Heavenletters have to say on that subject. I did not find very much, but some of what I found was quite fascinating. Here is something I will quote rather extensively, not because of what it says about mass phenomena but because it says so much about the whys and wherefores of our being here, thus dispensing with a lot of speculation:

Everyone who is or was on Earth has walked out of their bodies and returned full-time to Heaven. They visited Earth, wanting to see what the stars look like from a different vantage. To see the Sun from seemingly outside it. To feel the moonlight refracted in their eyes. To know what senses feel like. To see what it is like to have toes and fingers. Just as you would like to fly, they wanted to know what walking was like.

They wanted to know what the Earth felt like, what a sidewalk was, what it was to grow food and to eat it, to pluck a berry from a bush, what it was to enter the mass market of the world. They knew they weren't leaving Heaven, just stepping onto Earth for one brief moment.

They wanted to know what it felt like to wear a body. All this, of course, was just a passing thought — it was not their main ambition. As penguins might stand in line and dive one at a time, everyone thought it was their turn to dive and that they might as well.

Once on Earth, they forgot how perfectly coordinated they were. They saw mishmash. They saw absurdity. And they entered right into the middle of it, just as you yourself do in a brief dot of eternity that seems to be stretched out long.

Before they landed on Earth, they knew they were forever. They knew their body would not stay forever. They never thought it should. It was a mere rental for a summer or two. And when they left, all the woe and angst left as well, rather disappeared — poof — for where in eternity could woe and other earthly matters exist? In fact, all that you presently call trouble was gone with not even a snap of the fingers. It was as if it had never existed. It had never existed. It just had been perceived by restless minds.

As they deployed back to Heaven, many realized that they had slept their whole Earth-life long, or might just as well have slept for all the sense or nonsense they had made of it. Now, in Heaven, they shake their heads and wonder what had possessed them while they were on Earth...

In all, my impression is that Heavenletters are not very interested in mass consciousness, certainly not as a subject that is separately addressed. They do not seem to be too interested in any other subject as well – separation, source, mind, real, love, oneness, god, unreal, world, imaginary, dream, lack, exile, thoughts, gap between thoughts, steadfastness, awareness, methods/secrets, your function in the world... They may be saying what they are saying to entice us along like the opened arms of a parent toward his or her child that is learning to walk.

And that's the impression I'm getting more and more that there is nothing in Heavenletters that wants to be thought about for more than a second, for more than one faltering step towards those arms. Insteadt of trying to take that step, we keep turning things over in our minds. Of course, it's not wrong to do that. It's part of this adventure of finding out what it's like to have legs. But there can be no doubt that we will stop turning things over yet again and instead start walking.

Heaven #1406 says:

All thoughts are memories put together in one fashion or another.

http://www.heavenletters.org/past-and-future-are-but-daydreams.html

Sentences have to use words. Even novel sentences have to use old words. There is no new sentence, only new permutations of old words. In the same sense, there are no new thoughts except as recombinations of known concepts. All thoughts are old. The New will not come as a thought and cannot be approached in thought.

Divert your thoughts, and what do you see?

Thanks Chuck for your interesting comment. You raise a thoughful question when you ask if the world created was a dreadful error or a purposeful creation with some greater good in mind.

The problem seems to reside in the way we, in the relative world, ask questions about Oneness. Since we situate ourself «outside the question» to get an objective answer, we can hardly get what we call a «real and concrete» answer to our questions.

There seems to be two creations. The «good one» is certainly purposeful if we consider the good one as the One God created. The creation of the dreadful one is certainly «man made». But is it a creation or a fabrication? If it is a fabrication, then it has no reality. It is perception, a diffraction of Knowledge. Yet perception is consistent. Our dreadful conception of the world is consistent as God’s conception of creation is. What we see reflects our thinking and our thinking reflects our choice of what we want to see, believing what we see is really there. «If the world is a story that you minds make, then you are a miracle-maker».

But here is where the two views of creation split, as to say. In God’s view of Creation, there is NOTHING OUTSIDE OF US. In our relative earthly view, EVERYTHING SEEMS OUTSIDE OF US. We cannot reconciliate those two views. So it is impossible to see two worlds, simultaneously or alternatively. If one is true, the other is false.

And it seems that all the source of distorsion in our perception of an illusory «outside world» resides in the perception of the body. Because of the body, we never live in the present or the «now» or more precisely we never experience the body NOW. We always remember it or anticipate it. Could we even say that there is no instant in which the body exists at all?

What makes the body seem real to us if not the personal self’s seeming past and projected future? Time controls our perception of the body entirely, because our perception of separation from God is impossible in the Present or the Now. Therefore we can only think in the past or in the future.

The only way to shift from the illusory world we perceive as outside of us to the Real world that is INSIDE OF US would be to withdraw the body’s value from our mind. This does not mean we have to become an ascetic but rather that we have to interpret the body as a means for correction of our perception of separation and not as an end in itself. The body makes us still find separation from God attractive. The body makes the separation from God look real to us. God could not create what He is not. And He is certainly not a body. And why would have He created in the body a means for separation from Him? The body was just an experiment, we suppose.

About forgetfulness.

Does not forgetfulness come from our will to transfer our guilt to an outside cause, namely the world and, even closer, to our body? We tend to think that our body is our limitation but in reality it is our mind that feels guilty of itself and project its guiltiness onto the body or onto the outside world . And God says : «There is no percentage in feeling guiltiness. Guilt itself is a poor thought». And I guess the sense of lack comes from our guilty mind. We can create a trilogy or a triptych with forgetfulness, guilt and sense of lack.

We can create two kinds of miracles . One kind is the faked one and it lies on the past and the future as well as it lies on the sense of lack. We call this kind of miracle magics. The other kind is the real one which lies in the Now. We don’t even call this kind of miracles « miracles » because they pertain to our real land of birth.

And it is interesting to note that the word «miracle» is akin to the world «smile». The indo-european common root is « smei- » which means to smile, to laugh. We find smei- in SMI-LE and also in MIRACLE (latin miraculum : (s)m(e)i-ra-culum, ra- or ro- being a suffix of the root and the suffix –culum meaning a device, a technique). How funny it is!.

Dearest Emilia, the excellence is yours and the excellence is you.
