To the Very Heavens

Heavenletter #3479 Published on: June 4, 2010
God said:

Calmness is not an act. Calmness is your natural state. Calmness comes from a depth of silence. Silence is your natural state. From the depth of your silence comes peace. Less than peace is heretic. Less than peace is an infraction. Be that state of peace that is yours to hold and to marvel over and to circulate across land and sea.

Peace be unto you.

Peace is not far away from you. It is your natural core. If only you could believe this. If only you could believe that you are your own peace, that peace emanates from you, and that peace from you blesses the entire world.

Peace isn't difficult. It is all the hullabaloo and noise surrounding peace that are difficult. Peace is easy. Anything that is not peace is a set-up. Accept the peace I give to you. You crave it, and yet you stir the pot rather than settle it down. The soup of life has been stirred enough. Let it cool.

Sail on a calm sea. And if the sea is not calm, then quiet yourself, and the sea will copy you.

You are meant to be an instrument of peace. Let your breathing play like a sweet flute. Hear the notes of the flute bringing peace with it. Its round mellow notes soothe all in its wake. Be the flute of God. Play the flute of peace for Me.

Be the snake-charmer. Uncoil the world from the basket it has wound itself in. Peace is not coiled. Peace is flat and straight. Peace has no secrets. It is out in the open.

If you go to the top of a mountain peak, what do you see? You see peace. You do not see havoc. Seek peace and give peace. Peace is not just a sigh, and yet peace is contentment. Why not be content. Why not see the world as I do see it and bless it and spread peace on the world. Be a beacon of peace. Be a beacon of peace wherever you are. Be a marker of peace. Be an inspiration of peace. Be a herald of peace. Be a flute of peace.

Let your heart be your flute. Let the music of your heart be heard near and far. Let your heart smooth out rough terrain. Let your heart climb over the rocks and create a plateau of peace.

Be the peace you so desire. Give the peace you desire. Peace is not dull. It is not unstimulating. Peace is a comforter, and yet from peace comes exhilaration. From the peace of exhilaration comes more peace until you are peace itself. What were the Great Ones, beloveds? They spurred peace.

We could say that the Great Ones lowered the flame on hearts. They made hearts heart-temperature, not hot, not cold, but just right so that hearts could grow and embrace all other hearts. Through their hearts of peace, the Great Ones gave peace. They emanated peace. This is what peace does. Peace is calm and fun-loving and spreads itself like wildfire.

Show Me a man of peace and you will see a man who enjoys to the hilt. He builds a mountain of peace. He sculpts it out of hearts, and he raises hearts to the mountain-tops. He puts your heart like a star at the very top of the Christmas tree. The star spreads its light from one house to another. From one peak of peace to another, from one heart to another, peace shines and raises the Earth and everyone in it to the very Heavens.

Worry is Resistance to Peace.

On June 4th, 2010 Normand Bo... says:

I wanted to post a comment on yesterday's HL «Travel Light» but I felt that the message left me on a suspended note or state, I would even say on a "worried state".

I just come back from Canada where I had to bury my mother. She had to go through a lot of suffering before she died and even before she died she asked to be relieved from serum needles. At the funerals, I met my extended family where I had to face people with advanced cancers and all sorts of debilitating diseases. These people are in my age bracket (60-70). I was saying to myself: I am in good health, I don't feel that I am living in the same world as them. Yet I 'worried' about when it would be my turn to join the crowd (on both disease and death grounds)!

Of course, attending to somebody else's death always put yourself in face of your own death. How can you be totally worryless, fearless yet not careless in front of the crude reality of pain, disease and death? Do you really feel like thinking about music, flowers, when you are choking, starving, sinking or agonizing?

Of course not. But this is only the human experience part. How can we lift ourself above that human experience? The answer is in today's HL: PEACE which is expressed through calmness. It is our divine experience.

Peace or divine experience preceeds human experience and succeeds it as well as it proceeds with it, accompanies it.
Worry and fear are patterns of resistance deeply engraved in our "historical" soul. Resistance to what? Most probably a resistance to Peace, to Light, to God himself. It has all to do with some kind of AUTO-VICTIMIZATION. We need an external target to hit for our suffering and death, might it be God or Ourself.

And yes, dear God, «Peace isn't difficult. It is all the hullabaloo and noise surrounding peace that are difficult.» And so it is with pain, suffering and death. They are hullabaloos and noises surrounding our luminous nature. In the end, they are our resistance to God.

Hi. I am sorry to hear about your mother's death, I can understand how you might be feeling.

Thank you Veronica. Sorrow

On June 4th, 2010 Normand Bo... says:

Thank you Veronica. Sorrow is also another human dual face of Peace. Why rebirth doesn't come to our mind spontaneously instead of death? We might need a couple of hundred more HeavenLetters...

Aw, Señora, are you saying we will only have one or two a week from now on?

Dear resistance: Would you like to become my friend?

On June 4th, 2010 Jim Keller says:

Hi Normand, at the end you said:

..."And yes, dear God, «Peace isn't difficult. It is all the hullabaloo and noise surrounding peace that are difficult.» And so it is with pain, suffering and death. They are hullabaloos and noises surrounding our luminous nature. In the end, they are our resistance to God."

And what could the substance of this resistance amount to or consist of? What if this resistance is not at all what we might think it is? I am not saying that resistance is nothing. At least not yet! But so long as we think of resistance as something and even something to be reckoned with or dealt with or something that we have to find a strategy to deal with...it will continue to "be" there and "be" there in a most convincing way. But suppose we don't perceive of and react to resistance in the traditional personal ways we have in the past? What if we really acquainted ourselves with resistance...what if resistance even became our friend? Hmm. Best dishes...I mean wishes, Jim and Jimi.

resistance = peace?

On June 4th, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

Fascinating way of looking at it, Jim. You must be more at peace than some of us are and much more than I am. And of course you are right that everything we hold up before us as "something to be reckoned with or dealt with or something that we have to find a strategy to deal with" will simply stay there and even get stronger. That's the nature of all reckonings and calculations: They hold their objects in place. Your own words are another reckoning, another strategical calculation, but this does not have to invalidate them as long as we take them as lightly as you speak them.

After all, even God is giving little strategical hints all the time. I have come to believe that they are not to be thought about at all. They are only so many little taps that I notice and then let go of until one of them, and after some time another, makes it into my heart, doing its work there out of mind's reach and sight. That's why we get thousands of those little taps, year after year.

And Jim, I'm sure you will concede that the experiences Normand describes can be a little unsettling or at least make you wonder. Sure, resistance is only imagined, but imagination is real imagination. Behind the imagination of resistance is the imagination of fear, and imagined fear – fear of love, of course – causes imagined pain as does the imagined rotting out of this imagined body from under what I imagine is me.

Ah, peace. Just this: Peace. What does the word do with me right now? Or love. What is the very word effecting in me right now? Nothing? Doesn't matter, maybe next time it will, it is guaranteed that someday it will. There is very little reckoning left in this, do you agree? Read this Letter. Shut up and take it in as deeply as you know how to. If you don't hear much now, perhaps read it again very slowly later or tomorrow. End of story.

words and visions

On June 4th, 2010 Emilia says:

"Peace. What does the word do with me right now? Or love."
I say "peace" and I feel a passing wave in my stomach, I say "love" and I see a golden halo, I say "calmness" and I envision a lake. I understand God is not talking to my mind, although it reacts. My mind will always worry and fret and fear ( it is like a programmed computer ) until, one day, truth will come, by the power of my visions, and I will see that I am not my mind.

On June 4th, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

Personally, I tend to agree, Normand. At least I did until some time ago. But Heavenletters don't. They say there is nothing the matter with mind itself, only with thoughts of a certain kind. Well, perhaps that is what you are saying.

Mind, thinking, resistance – right this second it occurs to me (again) that they are the path into the consummation of love. And perhaps that's what Jim.i is saying.

peace be with you,

On June 4th, 2010 Charles Fi... says:

Bless you, Normand, your mother, and your family. I have sometimes in the past sought to lessen the noise and turmoil by envisioning myself in a house with a yard surrounded by a tall wooden fence. The turmoil is outside the fence and brought down in intensity to where it can almost be ignored as background noise like traffic or children playing or a dog barking in the distance.

This sort of works but it is essentially a negative act, with energy spent in holding something off, and usually too expensive to maintain for long because of its complexity. Today's Word is the other side of that. It is simple. What could be simpler to hold on to than a single word? Peace. Even the concept behind the word seems simple in spite of our collective inability to apply it world wide. Applying it in our own heart seems almost doable in comparison.

Remembering to rest in that natural state? Hmmm, I'm still working on that one. Big hugs sent your way.

A mountain of peace...

On June 4th, 2010 Jim Keller says:

"Show Me a man of peace and you will see a man who enjoys to the hilt. He builds a mountain of peace. He sculpts it out of hearts, and he raises hearts to the mountain-tops. He puts your heart like a star at the very top of the Christmas tree. The star spreads its light from one house to another. From one peak of peace to another, from one heart to another, peace shines and raises the Earth and everyone in it to the very Heavens."

What can one say about this? Except so awe inspiring and awe embracing. Or just plain: "Awe". Loving you, Jim and Jimi.

Peace be unto you.

Indeed, resistance (as an illusion) arises as soon as we stop quieting ourself. Worry cannot live without Peace, but Peace can live without worry.

On June 4th, 2010 George Mon... says:

This Heaven Letter speaks of Peace as a state of mind we can just grab hold of. When I was at Iwo Jima as a medic there was little peace to grab hold of. BUT knowing the ONE who is peace I went to sleep each night knowing that the IS, as the content of my consciousness, would embrace the consciousness of the One who is my peace Now. Life's like that

How-To

On June 4th, 2010 Tom (not verified) says:

many people might be thinking, easy for you to say, but how in this troubled world can I pretend to be at peace? the basic trouble is the interfering noise of the mind. as long as one is in the egoic mind one is a victim of it, and it is the only mind most people know of. but there is an alternative called by some as the natural mind or ordinary mind. once one is free of the egoic mind and in complete presence there are no constant circular thoughts, just clear, blissful peace. it just takes practice.

I don't think the lesson is

On June 5th, 2010 Gloria Wen... says:

I don't think the lesson is to pretend, Tom. Is peace a how to? I don't think so. What does God in Heavenletters say?

Gloria hit the nail on the head.

How sweet you show principles that are behind ideas. Thanks sweet one.
