You Are Beautiful

Heavenletter #3550 Published on: August 14, 2010
God said:

Today, as you set your intention for yourself – what? Have you forgotten? Remember now. Set your intention to make this a lovely loving day. Make it a day memorable for its sweetness. If you can have a rough day, you can have a smooth day. Set your intentions for this day. This day will never come again in terms of timespeak, and yet Eternity is forever. You sail along on it or in it.

While you are in the frame of mind that adheres to time, make today a good time for you, your family, the people you work with, all whom you meet or think of or who think of you. Make this a good day for the people across the world that you have never yet met on Earth. Your hearts are meeting this day.

The Earth revolves around the sun, and the kind of day you have and offer revolves around you. Be the pleasant background that the sun offers the Earth. Rotate your heart across the Universe, and make it holy. From My grace comes your grace, and so the world and everyone in it is blessed.

You who are My blessing bless. Be a copier of Me. That’s a good idea. Follow in my footsteps. Place your feet where My imprint is. Be true to yourself which is Myself with every step you take. If you want to know where to go and what to do, simply follow Me and do as I do and say as I say with all the love I have bequeathed to you.

To be a server of God, you simply follow Me. Be like Me. The fact is that We are One. You don’t really have to copy Me. You are not an imitator, for you are the Real Thing, only you have forgotten your sense of direction. So, then, follow Me right to the heart of yourself.

You are an expanded Being. You are not a falterer. That fumbling is all an act. You have entered into playing a game, and you don’t know how to get out of it. It is as if you have hypnotized yourself. You really do know you are playing the part of an individual, and, yet, all the while you play your role, you know you are not the role you play. You play a joke on yourself and can’t seem to stop.

If one day you take off the veils that cover you, how happy We will be.

You have covered up your happiness with a shroud, and you call that anomaly you. How beside the point you have become. You may believe in all things far away from the Truth of you, and not believe in what is near and dear. Yes, you perpetuate a fraud on yourself. You are the conman who steals from you. You are innocent, and yet you play the part of a dissembler.

Dissemble no longer. Come out and play in the sunshine of yourself.

You are an arrow that I shot out straight and true from the bow of My heart. You are My arrow, and I do not miss the mark.

Admit to yourself now from Whom you came and Who you are. Admit to yourself all the rights and privileges of being yourself, your True Self, not this aggravated and aggravating smallness that you have perpetrated upon yourself. Beloveds, why would you deny Yourself? Why would you mislead Yourself? What do you gain by a lesser portrayal?

The next time someone says you are beautiful, say: “I know I am beautiful.”

Following the logic of this letter

On August 14th, 2010 Chuck Gebh... says:

As I read this Heavenletter, an impulse occurred to me. I wondered what would happen if I followed the logic of this letter and said to myself: “The world is blessed by my presence within it today.” So I did, several times, and I was a bit surprised by my feelings and thoughts that came as a direct response. You may want to try this yourself before you read on.

The feeling that resulted wasn’t a bad one, nor was it a good one. My first thought was “no way, why am I saying that the whole world is better off for my living in it today, what can I point to to justify this?” Then I felt a little bit like a braggart to be boasting in this way. Finally, I imagined my writing this in this forum and could imagine people reading this statement about myself and some feeling a bit scornful.

I love this letter and the way it ends. “The next time someone says you are beautiful, say: ‘I know I am beautiful’.” As you see, I just tried this on myself. I have a ways to go, it seems.

The Divine

On August 14th, 2010 Johanne says:

My understanding of this HL is:

As I live by/IN God, His Energy in me makes the world a more blessed place. I may be aware of it or not but God within me Knows whose I am. I have come to KNOW it too!

I'm not able...to say that I am beautiful, possibly that I have not forgiven myself for choosing wrongly, BUT I know whose I am and I would say I am a BEAUTIFUL Divinely Appointed messenger by Father GOD to be a vehicle of blessing and beauty in the world.

Blessings of Light to all,
Johanne

Yes you are

But Chuck, you are beautiful,do not be to modest with yourself. Yust you opening up here shows your BEAUTY. Try to believe others when they comlpiment you. Do not ever Doubt GOD, If GOD says you are Beautiful feel the beauty within, Be happy about it and carry on Forward. Shine your light here and where ever else you are. Love Jack

Chuck is running in place but HIM isn't.

On August 14th, 2010 George Mon... says:

He who lives in Chuck knows that the World is blessed by his being in it because His being IS.

Everything is IS, To exist is to bless by holding all things together. "For by Him, All things consist or have their being. By the way, this Letter has no ending.

Life in any form is beautiful. Walter Russell was beautiful. So are you!

Chuck has "a ways to go"

On August 15th, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

Perhaps not, doctor. Everyone and everything is a blessing to everyone and everything anyway. Making it conscious, or making it an activity – though perhaps necessary for practice – can feel a little awkward, a little bit too much of an opus or production. I think the way you are handling it, as some kind of experimentation, is wonderful. There are so many suggestions in Heavenletters we can try out the way you are showing it, and they all tell us a lot about ourselves – about how much of ourselves we already inhabit.

Thanks, everyone

On August 16th, 2010 Chuck Gebh... says:

Thanks, everyone, you know you are all beautiful! I know this intellectually and I feel it unequivocally in my heart. There is great beauty in Heavenletters and in the comments and in those who comment.

When I say to myself, and I hear others say: "Chuck, you are a beautiful person.", if I were to rate how true this feels on a 0 to 10 scale (with 10 being feeling it to be absoluyely true) I would rate its feeling of truth as 6 or 7. That others on this forum feel beaautiful to me is 10+ on this imaginary scale. Knowing something to be true is evidently not the same as feeling its truth. But I am making progress, and it is a good feeling.

Love, hugs and appreciation to all.......Chuck

0 to 10

On August 16th, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

How ingenious you are. And how sobering. Doing the 1 to 10 thing myself (door locked) was something of a shock even when I did not expect much. No, I won't give you the numbers! But let me tell you that if the scores are getting better at all, it's for people like Chuck.

Gloria and God tells George how beautiful he is!

On August 14th, 2010 George Mon... says:

To say you are beautiful is one thing.

To feel that you are beautiful is quite another thing.

To know you are beautiful because of the artist who sculpted you is real!

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

Dearest MAESTRO, GOD OF LOVE AND LOVER OF ALL CREATION,

I do choose today to allow myself to admit that it is THEE from Whom I came. I no longer want to deny who I am. What do I gain
by a portrayal of myself as an unholy victim of circumstances and somehow victim of everyone else;s whims and ridiculous fancies as well.

Next time someone says "you are beautiful" I will say: "It is my Heavenly Father within who is beautiful. it is HIM Whom I serve
while I am here on Earth." Can I, this day, begin the task of unveiling myself so that I may remember God loves me infinitely and is a compassionate and merciful God-Creator? I do sincerely want to begin this moment.

...Be like Me

My God Father/Mother

Sometimes i let my mind think and think and think...and i cant find the way ...of "Be like You" i ask my Heart the answer and i cant listen, so i give that job to the mind, she works fast..but the answer its confuse and full of empty paths ( can you understand me?) I Let drag myself in so many sad stories or thoughts, to be honest my beloved God Father/Mother iam an actress! my capacity to make a sad stories its huge :( . Today i was telling Peter( partner) how sometimes is difficult for me to accept a beautiful compliment, or even to buy new clothes...I feel many times i dont deserve! For some reason that thought cross my mind and its not one or two times. I know that you say so many times, that iam Loved, that you Love me, that you are my True Love and the Love of my life( i love when you say that,my God Father/Mother) but... there is a but! i dont know most of the times where to go or to look...and i feel that your answer would be "look inside of you" today iam not having a beautiful day...iam not being a nice or beautiful person...today i only focus in the ugly part of my brother/sister.. I dont feel beautiful...and i know inside of me, that iam the only one that can change that....
Be with me all the time and send me more Love...

With Love Light and Peace

Rejecting our Beauty

On August 15th, 2010 Normand Bo... says:

Why is it so hard to RECOGNIZE our beauty? Why do we cultivate self-denial? Why, at the same time, do we KNOW that we are magnificent if we admit that God created us in His Own Image?

I guess that both aspects of affirming and denying that beauty are not in opposition to each other but rather that they pertain to the same reality which is us. From an earthly point of you, in the lower spectrum of vibrations in our incarnated condition, we cannot avoid feeling our obvious smallness which we oppose to the greater version of ourselves that we call Being. But it is hard to avoid feeling our unworthiness. So we also tend to react to this feeling in two opposite ways: either we feel "inferior" to ourselves or we tend to abnegate the parallel reality of our real Being.

There is also that deeper reality where we must admit that the feeling of unworthiness is only the tail side of the medal while pride is the head side. We have many examples of dictators on this planet that translated their feeling of unworthiness into slaughtering people under the banner of national pride. And so it is with religions which were teaching humans their unworthiness before God and that they had to be redeemed by an external godly Being.

But no matter if it is the sense of inferiority or denial, we just tend to put our divine dimension in the outside world of ourselves perhaps because it secures ourselves, it prevents us from having to face directly the light of our Being. In reality, we are rejecting ourselves because, through that rejection process, we can unconsciouly blame God to have put us in this terrestrial condition. Yes we can sulk God, we can blame Him, so that we can avoid or escape what we don't really want to assume, namely our real Being, our real Beauty. Remember that original contract with God and the following denial of the same contract by us?

In the end, we have to ask ourselves, and God suggests us that question: "What do you gain by a lesser portrayal?"

Humans are always free to choose to stay poor or become rich of Being.

Reading your comment slowly

On August 15th, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

Reading your comment slowly a second time, Normand, there are many things I might express in a similar way. Now I'm interested to hear: Dou you also share that (not terribly steady but increasing) sense that everything is always already happening in perfect beauty anyway?

I have done my share of seeing through things; seeing through things can be helpful and necessary, and even Heavenletters make lots of suggestions about emotions covering up other emotions etc. For the longest time I believed that seeing through things was getting me somewhere. Where? To the truth that will heal, I thought. Strangely, the truth of seeing through things does not heal, at least that is what, after many years, I found for myself.

The truth that heals is not found by seeing through things although seeing through things whets the appetite for the truth that really heals. Seeing through the things that stir in me in order to uncover the guilt, unworthiness, pride, sulking and secret blaming behind them takes me - - - where? Well, behind things. But that is not where I want to be.

So, whereas seeing through things may be an important stage, it is to a significant degree an intellectual business which, in itself, cannot solve let alone heal anything. Knowing about my stubborn sulking, my blaming God and all of those many strange behaviors that are nothing but camouflaged tantrums, can I stroke or knead or whip myself into shape? I can't. Knowledge isn't power. In the end, knowledge only makes me long for the invincible power of the weakest, most vulnerable thingst there are, like beauty and love and the sheltering walls of emptiness.

I realize that, as often happens, my comment is taking me to unexpected places and may not really be a response to yours. But you inspired it, so I hope it's all right to leave it here.
 
If one day you take off the veils that cover you, how happy We will be.

Okay, now I will read this Heavenletter and all the comments again, certain that more will be revealed.

Dear Jochen, to your

On August 15th, 2010 Normand Bo... says:

Dear Jochen,
to your question: "Do you also share that (not terribly steady but increasing) sense that everything is always already happening in perfect beauty anyway?"

Yes I do by stressing the "not terribly steady but increasing". Why do you think God keeps repeating this message in all imaginable formulas: "you're playing a game to yourself" since the very first Heavenletter?

And that is all the point in Heavenletters. It is a daily exercise at the gymnasium. We all know that the human process of learning consists essentially of "removing" all that is not natural, which basically is tension or stress. Examine the work of the violonist. The violonist has to let go the tiniest tension to perform at his maximum.

How can you climb (increase) without a resistance? If you are not even conscious that you are resisting in one way or the other, how can you let go that resistance? What you perceive as only intellectualization goes much deeper for me. Identifying the resistance is for me the key to "increase" while keeping this perspective that "everything is always already happening in perfect beauty". That is our nature as incarnated beings. We are both at the same time: climbing while already being there!

But in that respect, there is no objective methodology to reach where you are bound to go. You do it in so many ways. We are always exploring and there is no end to it. That is what we have a hard time with. We would like to put an end to our quest, but there is no end in life exploration.

You create your own process of growth, your own pattern of exploration according to what you are and what your backgrounds are. What is good for one is irrelevant to the other. A medecine is good for one and harmful to the other.

And so it is.

Yes, Normand, I agree with

On August 15th, 2010 Jochen (not verified) says:

Yes, Normand, I agree with almost everything, except that I did not say or imply "only intellectualization". I have many times stressed that the paths we need to take are as different as we are and that every suggestion or way to proceed is good for someone, so this can hardly be a point of contention.

I appreciate more and more the way Heavenletters, together with many of the comments, make me a little more aware every day of what God calls my own "original thought," and I just love to try to express what I'm finding. It's so exciting! Sometimes what I'm finding may appear to be at variance with what someone else says, but only if we assume that there is something that can be called "correct". As we both know, there is no such "correct", and what looks like desagreement on the surface can only be due to the natural enthusiasm everyone feels about their discoveries. D'accord?

I do appreciate you contributions, Normand, both as wise and readable in themselves and in many cases as a contrast enabling me to see myself better. Right from the beginning, there were several instances where you suspected that I want to prescribe some "objective methodology" (to quote the expression you used in your comment above). I wish we could leave that behind now and proceed to good-natured banter in the shared knowledge that we only help each other grow.

As an example for how I feel this works, let me quote a sentence I found toward the end of your comment: "We would like to put an end to our quest, but there is no end in life exploration." I do understand how one can feel that way, but at the same time this sentence reminds me of the many times I have read in Heavenletters that our more or less desperate search will definitely end whereas there will never be an end to exploration. And remembering this makes me go "Phew!" because of the huge difference I feel the same moment between the arduous climbing of our "quest" and the sheer joy of exploration. But in voicing those feelings, do I contradict you? I only say something else because I am someone else and somewhere else. Difficulties can only arise to the degree the spectre of "objective methodology" still haunts us. It does sometimes, doesn't it.

I guess it sums up with the

On August 16th, 2010 Normand Bo... says:

I guess it sums up with the same kind of reasoning/feeling about "I am/you are beautiful". It is all about knowing and feeling, growing and being always the same. This must be the real methodology, the methodology of One, the methodology of equilibrium.

Another view of correct methodology

On August 16th, 2010 Chuck Gebh... says:

Normand and Jochen, as always, your exchanges are quite interesting and quite pertinent.

I have a comment about what is “correct.” I think that what is correct for a given person is a judgment that only that person can make for his/her self. This is not the use of “correct” the way it is often used in the world, but it seems to me this is they way correct must be used in an enlightened understanding. Any methodology, by this view, might be helpful, but only the individual using that methodology is in the proper place to make this judgment. At some point we just have to accept that the only true authority for our own lives comes through the auspices of God speaking to us in our heart.

What Chuck thinks is correct gets a 10!

On August 16th, 2010 George Mon... says:

Your comments speak love's words loudly and softly at the same time. Your a master with words.
