Gloria:

Dear God, a good friend offered to make a database index of Heavenletters so that it will be easier to locate a topic and also make it possible to manage the whole project of making Heaven into a book or books. I am finding this idea of a database enormously exciting! I am not neutral about it. I am thrilled! The prospect of being able to find things is great but also I feel so strongly that You are behind this. It's like You said, "Here, Gloria, is a gift."

God:

My gifts often come through other children of Mine. I give all the gifts to Myself. This database is for Me.

And, Gloria, neutral is good. But you can't be neutral by trying. You can be neutral by awareness. Awareness is a light that stays on. Neutrality is not unlit. It is lit.

Being is not dull. Being is enlivening. Being is feeling Me in your heart and listening to that feeling. Being is being with Me.

Being is being full with Me. Being is more than happiness which is dependent upon something going on around you or something coming into you that can also leave.

When you are aware of being in our beingness, being in Our permanent bond of beingness, you feel how you are lighted by Me. The light is always on, but when you are aware the light is on, everything is brighter.

Being is a brightness.

You are the ocean. Waves come in and out. There will always be the waves. You can be aware that a wave comes in. You can be aware that a wave goes out. Being neutral is being aware of your inherent strength (My strength) so that the waves coming in and out do not affect the Oceanness of you. You have the awareness of Who you are always with you. That is being. That is neutrality.

Databases will come and go.

Your joy of being stays the same. A gift of a database is a wave on the ocean. The ocean can enjoy its waves! But it does not become attached to them. It does not become attached to the unattachable.

So you are a Human filled with My being. My being fills you. You feel that fullness of being. Independent of the winds of life, you reverberate to that fullness of being.

But you can also love life! Enjoy the waves of yourself! Splash in them! But the waves come and go, and you bless their coming and their going equally.

The waves have their crests and troughs. But you are the Ocean of stillness.

Neutrality doesn't mean that you ignore the waves, or that you are above them. It means you are not rocked by them. They don't thrash you around. You don't hold on to them. You don't control them. You let them come and you let them go. And you are the Ocean. In truth, you are the Ocean. You are not the waves.

Do not expect yourself to be in perfect bliss every moment, Gloria. Do not expect yourself to be perfect anything. Being is being. It is not something you have to do. It is not performance. It is not accomplishment. It is what you already are.

You are all right as you are.

Isn't it a relief to you? You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be. When you don't set yourself up as having to be perfect, then you can let go of control. Nothing has to be the way you think. You don't have to be the way you think. Just be.

Be as I created you. Doff the make-up and the costumes. Doff the effort.

You are taking a walk. You are headed east for the morning sun. You just keep your eye on where you are going, and you will find yourself there. You are there! You were carrying the sun under your arm all the while. It was a reflection you saw in the distance. You thought the sun was somewhere else. You thought it didn't belong to you.

It belongs to you. I gave it to you long ago. You are inseparable from the Sun. You are inseparable from the Ocean. You are the light of the Sun and the movement of the Ocean. What more can you want? What more can you need? You have everything, so why would there be effort? Why would there be anything but the joy of being?

Accept My love cast into the Human Being.

Accept My identity.

Anything that hides it is a façade.

You are a picture of Me.

I pictured you.

I imaged you.

You are an offshoot of Me.

You are a glorification of Me.

I have marked you.

Remember that you are Mine.

How does that make you feel?

You are Mine.

Walk proudly with that thought.

Pull your shoulders back.

You are for God.

Today you are for God.

This moment you are for God.

My love is indestructible.

You are indestructible.

What can befall you?

I hold you.

You are Myself.

You are My Being.

You are My Human Being.

You are on earth for Me.

I put you there.

You wanted to go.

Enjoy your stay.

Enjoy your stay on earth.

But know you have never left Me, and I have never left you, for that is impossible even for Me.

That is the only impossibility — that you and I could ever be apart.

Oneness is oneness.

And We are One.

You are One with me and one another.

I AM.

Bev to Heavenletters:

I have been back in Massachusetts with my mom again. I was supposed to go back home tomorrow, but my mother became very ill again two days ago, and the nurse said she is rapidly deteriorating. These next days will be so trying. I honestly don't know how I would do it, if not for Heavenletters.

Diane to Barbara:

Wow, Barbara! I am impressed. "Today I work for God". This is great. I am going to use it. Right up there with "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do". Thank you.
