Welcome Love

God said:

Oh, My, all that you are involved in. So much you are involved in. You are involved in details of life, in so many details of life. There is so much of so many things that your attention is pulled to, and, often, in your estimation, pulled to for naught. You have disappointment, lack of appreciation, and you wonder why you give your whole heart to so much, and when you look back, or even during holding back, you wonder why you are exerting so much of your time, being, effort onto so little of consequence. You wonder about the daily chores and their pre-eminence. What is all the excitement and energy for, and what is all the lag for and all the future for, and yet, you are swept up in activities of one kind of another.

And your mind works overtime. Your mind chews the bone of your life, gnaws at it, can't seem to let go of it. Your mind is so crowded with every manner of thing. In effect, your mind scuttles you.

Make room for love, beloveds. Make room for your heart to feel. Let your heart heal your vagrant mind.

Your mind needs solace. It has been working overtime. Give your mind a needed rest. Tell it that it can take a break, go off-duty, put its feet up, take a recess. Tell your mind that it can let thoughts go for a while.

Most thoughts are unnecessary. You know that, and, yet, you trigger your mind to have so many thoughts. Who is the leader - you or your mind? Your mind is not meant to lead you by the nose. Let your heart be the leader, for your heart knows what your mind does not. Your mind is more like a computer, and you provide the fodder. Let your heart take over, but, oh, you are afraid of your heart, and so your mind takes the wheel and steers you into busy traffic.

Hail to that beating heart of yours. Let it come to the fore.

Truly, the mind and heart are not meant to be in competition. They are meant to be equal yet each has its instructions. The mind is meant to be claptrap jaws that clamp down. The heart is meant to be open so all can enter. The mind is meant to be more like a valet. A valet serves. He works for you. He is not the boss. You are. And the love in your heart is meant to be like a river that flows or, perhaps, like a cop who beckons traffic to come forward.

In most cases, the mind has been overworked. Your mind is not to make all your decisions. If you cannot make up your mind, give decision duty to your heart, for your heart knows what your mind does not. Your heart knows where your happiness lies.

Remember, your heart is not your emotions. Your heart is love, and love, the direction your heart pulls you to. Your heart is not careless. Your heart is caring. Heart and soul. Heart and soul. Mind and logic, mind and logic.

Logic can go only so far. The heart can go everywhere. The heart's captain is love. The captain of your heart knows the direction to sail in.

Whenever I speak of the heart's leadership, I remind you that the heart is more than just what you want to do this moment. You may want to do something damaging to you or another at a particular moment, but that is a story your mind has told you. Tell your mind otherwise.

Follow your love, beloveds, the love that issues from you and brings you closer to Me.

The Heart and Mind

On June 18th, 2012 Daniel Gaughan (not verified) says:

Today's letter brings insight. I've lost what I've believed was the love of my life. I believed that my mind got in the way of my heart and ruined the love. Reading this letter I took another look. I think that my mind was keeping me in the relationship when my heart, maybe, believed it wasn't complete. I still love her and am still grieving for what 'I think' we could've had. But, my HEART knew we weren't heading in the same direction. We both spoke as if we wanted the same thing but the day-to-day told a different story. My mind has been telling me that I ruined a chance of a lifetime. This letter reminded me of circumstances as they were. I once said to her, "I feel that I can't be a man when I'm around you." There was an intense love but my HEART knows.
Thank you for the letter. I am so up and down right now, emotionally, that it's hard to know if anything I wrote makes sense, or if I really mean it. The emptiness in my body makes me think that I have lost the love of my life.
Thank you, GLORIA, and your HEAVEN LETTERS. They are always profoundly relevant.

LOVE

Daniel

Oh, Daniel, how honest you

Oh, Daniel, how honest you are. How forthright. Such insight.

Now I must go back and read this Heavenletter to see what it says! Thank you, Daniel.

Dear One, Heavenletters are not mine! I take dictation. I do not know how or why I'm so lucky.

Beloved Daniel, you might

Dearest Daniel

Dearest Daniel,

I think many of us can well understand what you are talking about and have been there, or are there too. At least, I do.

I just somehow feel to say that there is a bigger picture, a picture that is more vast, so vast, so infinite, so amazingly beautiful that it catches your breath and makes your heart miss a beat.

Oceans of love to you dear.
Berit

Beloved Berit, I love what

On June 19th, 2012 Gloria Wen... says:

Beloved Berit, I love what you wrote.

I actually know one person who never went through the heartache that certainly everyone else I know has. She met and fell in love with the man she married, and her heart was never broken before or since.

So many of us have different love stories to tell.

I can relate, Daniel.

I know this was written many years ago, but I still feel prompted to answer because it adds to my insight.
It's true, the heart knows. I was in a relationship with a wonderful soul, a beautiful child of God, but we were not clicking on the heart level.
I knew it from the very beginning. Somehow, I just felt it deeply. But my mind wanted to force its fantasy of a perfect, spiritually-based relationship.
I once read that our partner can either irritate our "wounds" or be soothing to them. The energy dynamic could be healing, or not.
This energy dynamic was not healing. On a deeper level, yes it was. Because it showed me all the ways that I was neglecting my own insight, intuition and heart-guidance.
So it showed me my willingness to go against my integrity. Which is healing to realize in its own way. It showed me where I wasn't loving myself, and where I was neglecting my Oneness with God.
I sacrificed my sense of connection with the Universe for a personal "love". So basically the choice was between Universal Will and the seeming ego's will. (Which is nothing!!!)
Conditioning or spontaneity. I chose conditioning. For a while. But the discomfort in my heart was telling me that I wasn't responding to my longing for greater.
I was bitter for a while. Blaming her. Blaming myself. Blaming God. Blaming everyone.... not taking responsibility.
I am realizing that I am responsible for my heart. I am responsible to keep it open. I am responsible to go beyond what I sense as pain and reclaim my sense of connection with my greater Self.
This Self that I really am is never bitter, never judging and never regretting. It does not try to prove a point or divide anyone from anyone. How could it. It is Everyone.
So in the end (right NOW) I AM her. And we are One. So perhaps the greater healing was recognizing that even though on the surface we did not click, we are still One as God's Self.
There is no breach in Oneness, there cannot be. Only in my sense can there be a breach. And that breach is never true. Oneness is True and intact.
So yes, I am her. We are not separate. And all the pain and hurt that I felt was caused by my own misunderstandings. My misunderstandings, my not seeing Love (Freedom) clearly, was the cause of my pain.
I am responsible and I am free. And even when we part ways on the surface of life, we are still connected, beyond connected, we are still One Self.
Not exclusive to each other. But Universally One with all. This was my lesson. Not to try to personalize Oneness (Universal Love) and try to create a special relationship where I give one human being my undivided (painful) attention while excluding the rest. This is not Love, but bondage. And I did it to myself, no one else did. There is no blame in that. There is freedom in that.
I can choose anew. I choose God. I choose Oneness and Universality.

P.S
I just read what I wrote and I wanted to add something.
This does not mean that you cannot have an "exclusive" relationship with one human being.
Yes, you can. And this is what I want. But my desire is that the basis and foundation of that relationship be in Truth, in Oneness.
That the relationship magnifies my awareness of God, of Oneness with all, and not making it less.
Instead of control-based, power-struggle relationships, I would like a relationship based on Love, Truth, Freedom.
Where we truthfully choose each other from our hearts, and really mean what we say.
Not just uttering words that sound like love, while feeling disconnected in the heart. This is not what I want.
What I want is genuine love that is shared from a place of wholeness and joy of sharing!
I know this is possible. And I know it is mine already. The relationship I was in has provided me with so much clarity in terms of what I want.
What is meaningful to me and what is important to my heart has become so much clearer.
Isn't that a blessing! It really is. Thank God for Divine Unfoldment. You can't really grasp it or analyze it.
It's beyond our "knowing" - what we call our knowing is very limited. Logic does not go all the way. Logic is illogical when you realize how great the Universe is.
And I have just skimmed the surface... the depths are Infinite. So why not open all the way. God is our Knowing. God knows.
Let us rest in His Knowing and be lifted higher. This is what I am learning. This is what I am realizing.
And it is all thanks to God. And a tad bit of willingness from "my" part. ;)

WELCOME LOVE

Dear Creator of Love and LIght and Peace,

"Logic can go only so far. Love can go anywhere." The Love that issues from my heart is the only intelligence that's worthwhile, The captain that is my heart knows the direction I truly want to sail in.
