By Your Thoughts Alone

.02. If you did not house negativity, negativity would recede from the world. You cannot help affecting the world, for both your posiitivity and negativity reverberate throughout the universe. They reach your neighbor even when you never see your neightbor . If you want to create upliftment in the world, create upliftment. Create joy. What is positivity but joy, beloveds? Have your life sunny-side up, and so you serve the world. Have the mood you want to have. You cannot help but serving it to others.

.08. Gloom has been easy for you to point out. You have pasted pictures of gloom up on your walsl . You have projected it. You can project anything you want. Why not project light? Project light from the rafters of your mind. Project brightness. Project intelligence. Project love. You can project anything you want. What do you choose to project. Beloveds, why would you choose to project anything but love?

.06. Whatever you may see as a blemish or an inadequacy, you can throw out the window. Be one-pointed on Me and not your perceived flaws. As you misperceive yourself, you misperceive Me. Don't do that, beloveds. Don't do that. Never again put yourself down in any way, not in any way. You have been good at that, and I now I ask you to be better at loving yourself. Love yourself for Me. It matters to Me how you feel about yourself. I know the importance of it. It is all-important. When you love yourself more than ego, then you can move full-steam ahead.

.07. At the same time, you see how lovely it is that your child cares, cares so much about a toy or a doll or a blanket, and that your child sees its dolly's wounds as loss or tragedy. Am I not at least as good as you? I see your tragedies in the same say . I treat you seriously, yet, all the while inside, I laugh, not at your bereavement, but in the knowing that there is no real cause for you to mourn. I do not let you see Me laughing because I address you where you are. I do take cues from you. I am not heartless. I would that you would laugh with Me. If you saw the vastness I see, you too would not be able to stop laughing.

A Rose among Roses
Heavenletter #2750 • June 5, 2008

A dandelion isn't dumb. It may well know that roses are preferred to himself. But he doesn't let that stop him. A dandelion knows his allegiance is to Me, and that's all he needs to know. That makes him strong. That makes him be himself whatever the obstacles might me . As a matter of fact, nothing is an obstacle for a dandelion. A dandelion deters all assaults. He hangs in there no matter what. No wonder a dandelion is considered a hardy weed! A dandelion doesn't take umbrage. That he is referred to as a hardy weed, well, he takes that as a compliment.

Dear Gloria, I'm not sure whether perhaps my English just isn't good enough, but does the emphasized sentence really work without a "You" in front?

"My attention is permanent. I know not of temporary. I know not of hesitation. I do not avert My eyes from yours. Perhaps you avert yours from Mine. Do you perhaps feel that God Almighty is too powerful for you? Or not powerful enough? Either think that you are not mighty enough to be in My company, or you are wiser than I, as if I have not the savvy of the world you do, and that your time with Me might be wasted, better spent on other things to do. Make My Consciousness yours. Step forward. I offer you Myself. What will you offer Me? What do you think I ask for?"

Don't know what to do with the "which", dear Gloria. In case it belongs there, can you help me understand?

"First, do not be tied to a result. Probably the obvious result you have in mind is too small and which yet cannot come quickly enough for you. In that case — or any other — come back to where I am."

[Boy, what a Letter.]

Some lower case "you" and "your" in HL #352, Yes.
Many more in the next one, #353, In Praise of God.

[Can't resist quoting from #352:]

"You bend down to tie my shoes. You bend down to teach me You. You give me all the paraphernalia, and I drop some of it in my hurry to run off.

It is not compromise I speak of. It’s just that everything may not be the way you want, or even the way it should be. And your lack of agreement does not have to be a stumbling block. You don’t have to make a fuss about it....

Gloria, is the "not" correct in the following paragraph?:

Is there ☞ not a face in the world that does not hold preciousness? And when you love the soul of the person whose face you see, is not that face then the most beautiful face that exists in the world?

Also, I don't know what to make of "intrepidness" in this context:

You will still be you, you understand, with all your individuality and all your peculiarities, and yet you will see and move in the world freely, untied to your individuality and peculiarities and ☞ intrepidness . They will be there, yet they will be more like fiction, which it so happens they are.

Dear Theophil and Gloria,

thank you for shedding some light on possible connotations of "intrepidness". But no, I still don't quite understand. Which is just wonderful. I believe it's meant to be that way for me at the moment.

Following my natural proclivity, I never interpret anything in Heavenletters. All I do is listen deeply into the words and their music until they make sense on a feeling level, if not today, maybe tomorrow or next month. In my three or four re-readings of this HL, I have heard several different connotations and I think there will be more. This minute, "sense of purpose" is what I like most (realizing it's quite close to "determination" as suggested by Gloria).

Theophil, your attitude in translating Heavenletters is nothing short of adorable.

And apart from everything, is it not a most beautiful Heavenletter?
