We come to realize that happiness and unhappiness are opposites so they cannot reconcile. If we believe in unhappiness, then we make unhappiness real and happiness unreal. If we believe in happiness, then unhappiness has no reality. Trying to reconcile them is a lost effort. If one is true, the other is not. Yet we can create in our mind an artificial coexistence of the two, for a while, since they both happened in our mind. Then they can be used as a learning device.

Happiness is an attribute of love: "All you really have is this moment of Eternity with Me." It cannot be apart from it. Can we experience happiness if love is not at the rendez-vous? If love has no limits, being everywhere, joy must also be everywhere. But the personal mind denies that this is so because it believes there are gaps in love where pain, guilt, angst introduce themselves. By so doing, the personal mind "limits" happiness by redefining love as limited and introducing opposition in what (love) has no limit and no real opposite.

We must then admit that there is something in us that is afraid of joy and happiness. What else than ego can be afraid of joy? Ego needs to separate to survive. Unhappiness is a very eloquent symptom of the sense of separation. How can ego justifies its existence in happiness since happiness unites? Happiness is ego's worst ennemy. Ego will convince you that you should not trust God' promise of happiness by making you see the proofs of the opposite in the outside world. And it will even go further by using your moments of joy by reinterpreting for you the sense of joy and happiness to support its own rationale. Ego will use confusion to blind you, because ego was born itself out of confusion.

In unhappiness there is a sense of a fear of God, on which ego capitalizes. In the end, it is the ego that does not want us to be happy all the time. So it invents unpleasant "circumstances" to convince you that there are gaps in God's infinite love and happiness.

It is, as always, a matter of whom your mind wants to listen to. But a mindset can be changed: “My happiness is not dependent upon circumstances. My happiness is dependent upon what you, my mind, say, and what I take to heart.”

DEAREST GOD OF THE GOLDEN HEART LIKE THE SUN

This might be my favorite HEAVENLETTER OF ALL Just deciding to be happy with my life is the wisest thing I can do !!

That's absolutely the TRUTH !! Just decide to be happy - in spite of the pain or sorrow. Yes, that is quite possible, and I am choosing

to do that today. I feel more grateful tonight than I ever have before and that's the most marvelous feeling ! I am grateful

for YOUR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE tonight, and for your great patience and your Golden Heart like the Sun. I don't have

anything more to say than I am so happy tonight that I am feeling more grateful than I have ever felt before. It's taken me

a longer time than I would have wished, but I still am grateful NOW.

Gloria, everyday these messages are healing, inspiring, educational and provide opportunities for conditions within myself to relax and feel whole. My greatest gratitude to you, and of course God, for these wondrous, soothing pearls.

Since that is all I know, yes.

I would like to add one item to the list of fiascos given in this Heavenletter, one that seems to never be worthy of mention and is overlooked again among those broken legs and lost credit cards:

•You can have felt lost your whole life and be happy.•

Well, not immediately, but at least this is when you have to get serious about being happy. That all is in the mind anyway sounds very convenient, maybe you can just form happy thoughts and stem the all-pervading atmosphere of angst with them. It even seems to work for a while, like singing in the dark forest at night, and you try not to notice the slight tremble in your happy thoughts. In reality, the reality I know, it's those happy thoughts that are what is going to wash away anyway – every single time to this day.

There must be an island in this sea of lostness. It may not be an island, it may be the biggest thing there is, but from where I'm standing, it looks like a tiny island, so I will call it an island, I will call it Now. On Now, you don't think about conquering ego, you don't think about how to think happy thoughts, you don't think. Thoughts may come, but it's not you who is thinking them, and so they don't get pursued, not by you. Happiness or unhappines is not a question on Now, to be or not to be is not a question on Now, nothing can be a question on Now.

This is it. In this very moment, there is the glory.

I don't know about glory, but in not wandering from the island of Now one millimeter in any direction there is … well, I don't know either. It does not seem unlikely, however, that this life of lostness and sadness is the ferry I will one day be grateful for.

Thank you for Your love Letter, Dear Lord and Gloria.

The happiness we seek is the ocean in which we flow. Amongst the tidal waves and harsh oil spils, happiness is always restored nevertheless. Not flow within the waves but watch happily from a distance. Even if we are caught in the storm, happiness is the raft, the saving grace that pulls us out of the storm's eye. The eye of the storm is not real, it is a fallacy conjured by the Ego (External Grave Obstruction), external to our True Form, Happiness. I am deeply thankfful to Normand Bo, Jack, Darryl and Jochen for your beautiful advice. Happiness is not a choice, it is our given. And even when perceived unhappiness is experienced by our human mind, it actually covers the happiness which is You. It is the Ego's speckles of trickery which does not replace our Happiness but are temporarily covers Happiness's light. But we can wipe away the spots of trickery with our magical cloth of love. Seeing the light of all situations, even when we feel awful, we can switch perceptions.

Is this possible Lord? Is it that we can shift our Perceptions so Quickly. The answer lies in our hearts. We can chose not to deny ourselves of happiness by detecting our Ego's trickery and Opt for Loving all that we have. Still, on occassion unhappiness creeps in and we find ourself alone on an island with uncomfortable feeling in the pit of our stomachs. Even in such a situation, perhaps being thankful for having the capacity to feel is a blessing and a reason for us to revel in happiness.

When unhappiness finds me, i think of all God, your Heaven's letters, Gifts of Gratitude, the blessings i have in my life and oneness (amongst other things) and it motivates me to happiness because how can I be Unhappy when we are All one. If You uplift me, What kind of reflection would I be if I mirrored unhappiness to Your beautiful Hearts. Dear Lord, please assist us to see the happiness within and around.

Peace love and light
