Your Heart Is like Christopher Columbus

Heavenletter #2218 Published on: December 20, 2006
God said:

Lead with your heart. Leap with your heart. Your heart is not meant to take baby steps. Your heart is not meant to be covert. Your heart is meant to be a great explorer. Your heart is like the scout who goes out to survey the territory. Your heart is like Christopher Columbus who discovered a New Land. His discovery was called a New Land, but it was always there. It was just that it had not been seen before by the eyes of those who lived elsewhere. Christopher Columbus had an inkling, and he traveled the path of the Earth and became famous.

He did not discover the land he had sent out to find, yet never did he feel he had failed. He had stumbled across something. He did not deny the land under his feet was under his feet. He did not argue or try to maintain that this discovered land was India. Because India was the land he sought, because he had a theory he wanted to prove, he was nevertheless open to what appeared. He saw that the Earth was round, and he had the bonus of a New Land to boot.

Nothing has to be the way you think it has to be. Nothing has to progress the way you think. Nothing has to go against the way you think either. Your thinking, however, has to be open to change. Consider that it is perfectly fine to change your mind. You must change your mind. You cannot keep your mind always in the same place. Your ideas are not to be marked in stone. You are not to chain yourself to them. Your ideas are only ideas.

As you set forth on your voyage of God-discovery, leave your preconceived ideas behind. You don’t want to take them with you. You are seeking more of Me, not to prove a point, but to find more of Me. You know there is more, or you would not seek. You are not seeking the courage of your convictions. You are seeking something new. You are letting your convictions go so that you may discover what has always been.

I do not play hide-go-seek with you, yet I do lure you. I lure you out from hiding. You have been hiding from yourself. And now, in your discovery of the God Who loves you, you sail past borders, and you discover yourself along the way. You are the land you have been seeking. It is yourself you seek, and it is yourself you find.

You have set out to seek your fortune in the world. I, beloveds, am your fortune. You have no other. I am the contents of the bank vault of your heart. I am your fortune, and I am the dispenser of your fortune. I give it all to you. I give you the code to the vault. The code is love. That is the open sesame. You open your heart with your heart. You discover that the vault was not locked. It was always open. You could walk in any time you liked.

Come walk into this chamber now. Walk into this chamber of your heart with Me, and find Our One Self walking there, strolling there, making Ourselves at home there, coexisting there, conferring, balancing and harmonizing the world. We find Our innocence. Our innocence speaks up. It waves its flag. Make room for innocence.

Heavenletter generated in response to a question

On December 25th, 2012 Faye Hall (not verified) says:

I was told by my doctor that I must lose 20-25 pounds in three months or I will have to go on another medication. My question was: "Will I be able to lose that amount of weight in such a short time?" Heavenletter #2218 started out by saying : "Lead with your heart. Leap with your heart. Your heart is not meant to take baby steps." OK, I gather from this that if I want to lose the weight in this amount of time, I cannot "take baby steps." I will need to take long vigorous walks, and exercise in the gym, and - - - sigh, stop eating all the desserts.

But then it says "You must change your mind." and "We find our innocence." Well, if I must change my mind and give up my preconceived notions, then I cannot go on thinking that the solution to this "problem" is something I must take herroic steps to resolve. Yes, exercising would be good because the body enjoys moving. It is only my mind, my ideas, that resist movement, so the exercise would be fine. .The dpctpr told me that the most important thing is exercise. Walking doesn't have to be a chore. It can be fun, and when I was younger I enjoyed it very much! Now, sometimes when I go for longish walks my back hurts. But that doesn't mean that I have to stop entirely! I can rest a moment and then go on.

But eating desserts... well, perhaps I do not have to give up all the desserts. The desserts please me and I feel happy. "Our innocence speaks up. It waves its flag. Make room for innocence." And I realize that I AM innocent, eataing desserts is not a "sin", it is a pleasure and I deserve pleasure in life because I am innocent. Then I remember that my doctor did NOT tell me not to eat desserts..The idea that I should not eat desserts came from MY MIND, which is conditioned to think that eating desserts is the cause of becoming overweight. But it is wrong. Whata my body needs in order to lose weight is to know that I love it, and that I will let it go out and play. So this Heavenletter helped me so much, because when we deny ourselves pleasure because we think we "have been bad" then we lose touch with ourselves and punish ourselves, perhaps by not releasing the excess weight! I'm going to have a piece of fruitcake now, and when the sun comes up I am going to get up and go for a walk!!!
