What You Seek More Than Answers

God said:

There is the persistent idea in the world that you have to understand. Trying to understand, you spin your wheels. You take up unnecessary time with questioning. Seek further knowledge of what interests you. There may be a reason. At the same time, you don’t have to understand the workings of a motor in order to drive a car.

Where did you get the idea that you have to understand everything? Trying to make sense of everything makes no sense at all. Then striving to understand becomes a stumbling block.

Is it not true that you would like to understand everything? Big or little, it doesn’t matter, you crave to understand. “Why do I have this freckle on my nose? Why did my girlfriend leave me? How could she? Why didn’t the sun come out today? How did life come to be? And what am I doing here? What is it all about?”

Sometimes you ask so many questions, and you leave yourself up in the air.

You don’t really need so many questions. Nor do you need the answers.

What if you did get all the answers, what then? What difference would it really make? There is virtue in taking the card that is dealt you and holding your hand out for the next one. You don’t need to wait for a long-delaying answer.

Children give a short answer to Why. They say it is Because. Because it is. It isn’t exactly sensible to be offset or upset by what is. Why are you unmarried? Because you are. Why did you marry? Because you did.

Why do you ask why?

Life is not a wrestler that can simply be pinned down.

Life flows. That is your answer. Life flows.

You are really seeking Me more than answers. You are seeking love, and I have it, and I give it to you. What is love worth? A lot. Everything. And what is an answer worth? Not much at all. Nothing really. Oh, so this is why. An answer brings you to a quick stop. Does the answer apply to the next question? Probably not. And you start questioning all over again. Sometimes I think you are in a state of perpetual questioning. Enough of questions. Get down to life. Theories are a dime a dozen. Life is now. It is not necessary to ponder over life so much. Life is a flowing river. Why does the river flow? Because it flows.

And you also ask: “Does the river have an end?”

You may think it does, yet the answer is no. There is no end, just as there is no end to you. You are My Forever Creation.

Then you ask, “Why am I forever?”

The answers: “Because I made you so. Because you are not temporary. Because you are part and parcel of Me. Because this is how it is.”

“But why, but why?” you ask again and again, and the non-ending cycle of questions begins again.

There is one answer that applies, and that is love. Because of love, you are. Because of love you are eternal. Because love is eternal. Because there is God, because you are Mine, because I would have it no other way, you are irreplaceable. You are One with Me.

Rather than question, accept. Accept and move on. Accept and step out of the quicksand of questions that swallow you up and spit you out again.

Forget questions for a while. Forget answers for a while. Forge ahead in life, and keep going. You don’t have to have questions, and you don’t have to have answers. Make the life you have into what you want. That will keep you busy.

Life flows

Children give a short answer to Why. Children also ask or scream why insistently, and when they are a little older and male, their why can become quite booming and challenging.

Why do you ask why? This Heavenletter does not directly answer this question, but there is an older one stating that questions why imply protest. I would add that there is also a more "scientific" why with a seemingly different objective. They say that this pinning-down sort of why is for knowledge. They say knowledge is to be sought for its own sake or for the advancement of humanity. They also say that knowledge is power. In truth, of course, knowledge is subconsciously equated with security. When I can say, "This is because of that"; when everything is neatly pigeonholed; when we have ascertained that "the root of all problems is separation" and therefore "finding oneness is the solution to everything" — that's when a sense of security luxuriously spreads in my visceral brain. Only, it does not make any real difference.

What is the difference between the protesting why and the pinning-down why? There is none. They are both ersatz for something that, "for want of a better name" (as one Heavenletter has it) we call love. There is what is called love or there is why. There is as much why as there is numbing or muffling of what is called love. Why is as big as fear is. Why is an attempt to drown fear. Sure knowledge is the addiction and why is the bottle. And nothing of this is consciously known to me. Which means that all of this is speculation and not too much more, useful for a moment of aha but not beyond that moment. Beyound that moment, where is the real heart-blood flowing?

Life flows. Today, this looks to me like the most beautiful answer Heavenletters have ever given.

LIFE FLOWS

JOCHEN, YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF SO BEAUTIFULLY. YOU ALWAYS GIVE ME SUCH FOOD FOR THOUGHT. I HAVE TO BELIEVE AFTER READING THIS LETTER THAT I AM NOT TO QUESTION AND JUST BELIEVE. IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE AND IS SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO WORK ON. BLESS YOU.

Karen, dear, I'm happy to

Karen, dear, I'm happy to hear there is something useful for you in my words. You may have noticed, though, that I am not fond of working, especially working at being a child of God. You mean the right thing, of course. You have noticed that change usually comes in increments, not all at once, and so you call it "working" as so many of us do (Americans, especially, seem to be very fond of working, of doing it themselves; that's an effect of their great and adventurous history, I suppose). But actually it is no more than very gently – sometimes lovingly, even reverently – putting down whatever question there is, whatever thought there is, whatever belief there is, waiting to be filled with what Life wants to fill me with and which I may know nothing about.

A Question of Love

Perhaps we only start asking questions as children when we come across all the contradictions and the conflict which take up the space in life where love once was. The grownups are in charge and they are living these strange disjointed unhappy lives for much of the time. Perhaps the only question worth asking is not even "Where is the love?" as the Blackeyed Peas sang, but maybe "What is the best way for me to express love now?" in each and every situation, each and every moment. To yourself, to others, to your environment.

Beloved Marigold, and may we

Beloved Marigold, and may we express love now without even having to think about it!

I love this Heavenletter! <3

For heaven sake be reasonable Gloria!

Gloria lets God tell her that in the moment of NOW reason becomes God's "BECAUSE"

When God says because, it's because it IS. No need to question why the flies like your picnic.

Let the questions you seem to feel be the answer to where life is taking you. Read this Heaven Letter a few times and let it tell you how NOW is where Life manifests the real.

I find this H.L. most interesting. Here God tells us Life is simple, do not ask to many questions and get on with Love and Live Love you All Jack

Seeking to end an impossible compromise

We can relate questioning to suffering and we can relate suffering to the impossible attempt to see two worlds at once, which is what dualistic thinking is all about. We try to equilibrate the two worlds but they cannot coexist. One world has to be reduced to the other. On the same level, we can see the scientific quest and its technological production as an attempt to reduce one of the two worlds to the other.

In that respect, perception is consistent. What we see reflects our thinking and our thinking only reflects our choice of what we want to see. It is obvious then that our values are the determiners of this for we want to see what we value so that we end up believing that what we see is really there.

One of the world we see is without question based on fear. Fear has made us see everything we think. All separation, distinctions and numerous differences we believe in make up the world we see.

How can we see this world overlapping with God's world? It is impossible. When we are seeking for one, we make the other disappear. But surely one remains. No matter which world we choose, it becomes all embracing as its opposite.

Forgetting to question and forgetting to wait for answers is definitely not choosing the world of fear. But it is inevitably pushing us against the wall: should we renounce to science and technology? Should we stop investing in research? If love is all, what do we need technology for? Can we indefinitely postpone our choice between the two worlds, and between their two technologies (the hard one and the soft one)? If it is impossible to see two worlds at once, it is also impossible to make a compromise between them. That is where we have to make a proper use of time.

God gives us an unequivocal answer which has no questions: "Rather than question, accept. Accept and move on. Accept and step out of the quicksand of questions that swallow you up and spit you out again."

Such "Down to earth" Heaven Letter

Thank you Gloria for being the wonderful connecting link to my inner being. I was so touched and earned so much wisdom by this Heaven Letter.

"Theories are a dime a dozen. Life is NOW !"

down to life

Trying to understand, you spin your wheels.

Trying to make sense of everything makes no sense at all. Then striving to understand becomes a stumbling block.

What if you did get all the answers, what then? What difference would it really make?

What is love worth? A lot. Everything. And what is an answer worth? Not much at all. Nothing really.

Enough of questions. Get down to life.

Forget questions for a while. Forget answers for a while.
