You Are a Citizen of the World

God said:

The way for you to make the world the way you want it to be is for you to be as you want the world to be. How do you want the world to be?
 
You know what you don’t want. You don’t want to be bossed around. You do not want to be overridden with rules and regulations and instructions intended to improve you. You want to be treated like a human being with all the rights and privileges.
 
Governments and agencies and such who seem to make all the rules and regulations that you object to are also human beings. And, you, as a human being, you really don’t want authority over you. As a citizen you want to count. You want to be more than a number. You want to have a say. You want to be heard.
 
The management of the world is made up of human beings, and human beings have taken sides and fallen into two camps or more and have become you and they.  
 
There is an expression in the world that says, when you want to get somewhere, you go to the top. I am the Top, beloveds. Consult with Me. Let Me be at the bargaining table of your heart and mind.
 
There is world consciousness. How you are ultimately going to raise the world is to raise your consciousness. Raise it by intention, and raise it by listening.
 
You would not like to be talked about the way governments and employers and managers everywhere are often talked about. They have become the others, a them. You have become the ones who oppose. That’s the separation that exists in the world. There is loss in the reality that you and everyone are all equally your brother’s keeper.
 
You see misdemeanors and lack of foresight and lack of caring and lack of good sense, and you feel you lack a voice. Going to the polls doesn’t seem to do the trick. You want to be heard. You want to be noted. You want respect. It is also for you to give it.  
 
How effective is taking the role of opponent and crossing swords? How well does protest work? Of course, fighting and protest provide an opportunity to vent, yet what will turn all concerned back into human beings who do more than sounding off?
 
Slander doesn’t work. Accusations don’t work. Uprisings don’t seem to work, for what is gained, and what is lost?
 
What does work is a rise in your consciousness. How you speak and what you say influences the world. I say that your thoughts and speech and deeds reflect your consciousness. Consciousness rises. You may not think you rule, yet your consciousness does reach to those who seem to have say over you.
 
There will come a time when your consciousness and that of many rises to the point where those seemingly in charge can only follow your consciousness. The consciousness of the old management grows or a new management with higher consciousness comes in. You may think I am unaware of how the world is to you and how it affects you. I am aware. I am also aware that your consciousness speaks.
 
Changing outer circumstances does not of itself change all that you would desire it to.
 
Desire your individual consciousness to grow. Come truly and simply closer to Me where peace resides. All things are possible, beloveds.
 
Now, allay your heart. Consciousness in the world is rising. Your consciousness is rising, sometimes in spite of yourself. You see according to your consciousness. How you see changes the world. Take heart, beloveds. Take heart. You are a citizen of the world.

Gloria, the eighth paragraph

Gloria, the eighth paragraph starts with the sentence, "You see misdemeanors and lack of foresight and lack of caring and lack of good sense, and YOU FEEL YOU LACK OF A VOICE." That last phrase is trying to take two paths at once.

The simplist fix would be to take out the "of" and say "you feel you lack a voice." An alternate would be to say "you feel YOUR lack of a voice". Not a big deal.

Thanks, dear Charles. I

Thanks, dear Charles. I think the of wasn't meant to be there. Boy, you are GOOD. Thank you so much. You catch everything! I'll fix it in the Heavenletter. Bless you!

I really love what God tells me here about my consciousness. And yes, it is true - I can feel how focusing on the peace and love within me with each breath, changes me and what's around me. How couldn't it?

Much love, Uta

If God loves so much, Does everything break his heart too ?

I guess not. My view is God

I guess not. My view is God is Love. There is no doubt about anything less than love. It is us humans, who struggle with the illusions that there could be something less than love. What I love about these Heavenletters, is that God always shows us the way to the truth that we are.
Much love, Uta

Beloved God, Lord of my

Beloved God, Lord of my Heart,

In Heavenletter #4869 You Are a Citizen of the World, You say:

There is world consciousness. How you are ultimately going to raise the world is to raise your consciousness. Raise it by intention, and raise it by listening.

Now, in other Letters You say and some Masters say that we cannot go on just raising our own consciousness, but we are to serve, serve You, the world, whatever.
I feel a little confused about whether I need to keep going within or going without. Can you please give some insight on this?

I thank you with all my heart, my Beloved God,
Paula

Dear Paula, yes, let's turn

Dear Paula, yes, let's turn your question over to God. I will gladly post His answer here and on the Godwriting blog. I can kinda feel God's answer brewing right now. I wonder if it will be the Heavenletter written down this morning! Because of workmen in the house, I have been delayed. Hmmm.

Note: At my request, Paul also supplied a couple more God quotes on this issue:

Heavenletter #4863 The Life of Your Dreams

Your desires for mankind are embedded. Their arrival is imminent. You notice that I say your desires for mankind. This is a greater scale than fulfillment of your personal desires. There is a difference in scope between desires for mankind and desires for the individual self.

Heavenletter #4867 Why are you here on Earth?

You were sent to the world to fulfill something. You were sent to the world for more than yourself.

Thanks again, dear Paula

P.S. In case someone doesn't know, Paula, originally from Finland, now living in Italy for many years, translates Heavenletters into Italian. She has translated Heavenletters every day for over ten years, 7 days a week. Paula was our very first volunteer translator angel.

We would love to have translators in every language!

God to Paula::Beloved

God to Paula:
:
Beloved Paula,you already are in a good place. Have you not translated My beautiful words into Italian so that kindred souls can read My words in their native language, and you have done this every day for ten years or more? And you help others as well. You do serve Me through others. Your intention is high all along the way. Be at ease.

It is natural to think of others and for mankind altogether. That you do not live for yourself alone is meant to be a gentle reminder, not a strict command.

World thoughts for survival have mis-distributed the idea of loving others as yourself. “Kill or be killed” is not the theme of most people’s lives, although this theme is carried along less dramatically in expressions such as: “Look out for yourself,” and "Get while the getting’s good” or “Take the biggest piece of pie.” These ideas may still be rife on Earth.

For many years, life has been for survival, yet you are here for more than survival. “For the good of all” is something to remember.

Of course, you are here on Earth for more than yourself, yet this advice is not telling you to spend time and weigh everything in terms of selfish or unselfish. Note the concept and be done. The key word here is intend. Intend, and let go.

Consider that others may contribute to the world in other ways whether they or you see it this way or not. It’s possible that a woman who spends a great deal of her time in spas and on beauty treatments, for example, by her very beauty, may inspire others. You don’t know. At the same time, it could be a novel idea for this lady to treat someone else to a day at a spa. I am speaking of love, of course. Love is what We are speaking of.

There are those who may spend their lifetimes on seeking enlightenment yet seeking it for themselves alone as someone might seek a fur coat. They are desperate to have it and may not be thinking of anyone else. There is a big world, and good hearts encompass the world.

Less self-centeredness is part of being enlightened. If all the money in the world could buy enlightenment and someone who has been a “me, me, me” person all his life becomes enlightened, could he continue being self-centered?

My advice is not intended to become a rule to go by. It is not an ordinance. You are not meant to calculate a percentage of selfishness or unselfishness. Nor is this meant to be a scale you use as judgment on yourself or anyone else.

On the other hand, why not remember that you are not the only person in the world and that your life is not the only life in the world to nourish?

Spending your God-given life with your whole intent on yourself isn’t what you are here on Earth for. You are here to serve Me, and you serve Me by serving more than yourself alone.

Ah, at the same time, nor are you to sacrifice. Sacrifice is not admirable. Giving with a glad heart in joy is more like it. Life spent with your whole intent on yourself isn’t what you are here on Earth for. Serve Me because it is in your heart to serve me.

In the world, it is not always easy to comprehend the line between selfish and sacrifice. You are not here only for yourself at the same time as you are not here only for others. You can’t really live life that way. I do not ask you to sacrifice. Give with happiness in your heart, and then there is no sacrifice.

Consider this theme of sharing more like a subliminal idea. Your question in every activity is not to be: “Am I being selfish or unselfish?” Have the concept of generosity at the back of your mind and not out in front, for you want your actions in life to be spontaneous. Life is not meant to be contrived. Basically, life is your reward. It is not necessary to be concerned about so many things.

Heavenletters are not about commands. Heavenletters are more about just letting what I say sink in without effort and then go about your life. Pretty much everyone has been given so many rules to follow. You have had enough. No more adding up. No more subtracting. Live your life lightly with joy and not so heavily with obedience.

No need to have to think about life in terms of going within or in terms of going in an outer direction. In time, you will know them as the same.
Well, don’t stay out all night and don’t meditate all day! Lean toward love, and you will be fine.

As for you, Paula, you are doing very well. I am very happy with you as you are.

God of Love

Thank you, God, from the

Thank you, God, from the bottom of my heart, which is Yours. And thank you, Gloria, for being such a pure channel for God's words!
Paula
