Planet Earth Is like a Playground

God said:

Life is lived in raindrops. So many fall at once. Where do raindrops come from and where do they go? Rain may be unforeseen, and then suddenly rain is here. And then just as suddenly, the rain is gone and not even a wet spot left.

There are so many lives on Earth, and they come and they go. When you look at life from that angle, life seems purposeless to you. If it is only flow and nothing left and not even real while it is happening, why does life on Earth exist? For what? If life on Earth is so temporary, you wonder why you are here and what is the point of it. Of course, rain waters the Earth and sustains life on Earth. But why does a planet need you? What is your place in it? What purpose do you serve, and why is this life on Earth such a big deal, and done and over with too soon even while it seems you have been here a long long time, perhaps forever?

You wonder, if you did come from Heaven, why would you leave? Why did life on Earth have to be? Why did you have to be here and go through all that you have gone through and worry about what else you will go through until you are through with your body? You want to keep your body as long as possible, yet you don't want to grow old. Life presents dilemmas for you, no doubt about that. And what can you do about it anyway?

Even if you can accept that your purpose in being here is to be here, you are still bamboozled. What kind of an answer is that? You are here because you are here. As to what you can do about it anyway, you can make it the best life you can. You can be the best you can be. You can give something back even when you do not last and no one will remember that you were here and when you, least of all, are able to fathom why you are here.

You light a candle, and the candle burns, and then the candle burns out. What was it for? Of course, the candle was nice while it was burning.

You feel you are no more than ocean waves that disperse. Did each wave really matter? Does the ocean need waves at all, for, of course, the ocean is the Ocean. What does it need waves for?

And yet the Earth does need you, doesn't it? It seems to think so. The Earth itself considers you are a precious guest. It likes you to walk on it. It likes you to live on it.

The planet Earth is like a playground. Even a playground of cement wants children to play on it. The very Earth itself loves having you. The Earth does not quite understand you. It doesn't grasp why you are not more well-pleased. The Earth revolves around the sun and is happy. How come, the Earth wonders, that you on Earth, you who are able to move your legs and go where you want, you who have choices, why aren't you always happy? This is a real mystery to the Earth. It too asks: If you are not happy with life on Earth, then what are you doing here?

We could say you are here to learn to be happy in a physical body. You were always happy when you were not encased in a body. Why, why, do you have to have the body then?

You have to have it because a question has been asked, and you are finding out the answer to the question you asked.

Singing softly, Your voice

Singing softly, Your voice is the most beautiful.
Asking two or three little questions and painting two or three innocent pictures, it says so much more than books ever have.
A raindrop does not need to remember.
But I still like to think the Earth knows about us and only feigns a puzzled look to make us start wondering.

Oh phooy!

Jochen gave away the secret! He'll have to pay for that.

How do youm Jochen, come up with such deep stuff? Your're wonderful!

George stopped shaking his head and started scrating it

Who says we have to have a body?

Part of the fun of EXISTENCE is called body experiences.

Part of the fun of having a body is to give our MIND something to play with.

Part of the fun of asking questions from our mind that really have no anwers is to look at people who pretend to have the answer.

Go ahead question existence or non-existence. They both have the same answer; "you is HIM, HIM IS YOU.

"If you have seen me (whatever that is,) you have seen the FATHER."

To make that statement is to discover the answer is in KNOWING. Well,.....sort of knowing.

George shaking his head a bit

a question has been asked

"Part of the fun of asking questions from our mind that really have no anwers is to look at people who pretend to have the answer."

Yes, George, people wo have answers can be quite entertaining.

But seriously, the question mentioned in this Heavenletter seems to be of a different order, not a question "from our mind" .....a question has been asked, and you are finding out the answer to the question you asked. That we are finding out probably means we don't know the answer yet. So I will not ask about the answer. But, dear friend, you don't know that question by any chance?

"a question has been asked" and answered

Jochen you must get paid overtime by God to come up with your stuff.
I do have questions, lots of them such as: Now with the water shut off, and the big mess, and living alone and 84 and how can I milk this to get lots of strokes. (bad choice of words.) The fixer told me that it's too wet under the house to fix it right away. It's going to be next Monday or Tuesday.
My big question is Why me, Lord?
His answer comes back loud and clear: "George, you ain't you, you're ME and I'm you." "Keep pretending to know and people believe it eventually." At times they smile and some times they say: "That old guy is funny, or dumb, or ready for the men in white."
My "Joy Stick" works just fine but it only shoots bullets of joy, peace, and stuff that makes my enemies lie down like dead from laughing. Oh, what am I to do? Jochen, you are a knower too.

2 Heavenletter Haikus for you

Hello Friends,

God said you wonder
Why does life on Earth exist
You who have choices

God said you are here
To learn to be happy here
Because you are here

Love, Light and Aloha!

A real mystery!

The planet Earth is like a playground. Even a playground of cement wants children to play on it. The very Earth itself loves having you. The Earth does not quite understand you. It doesn't grasp why you are not more well-pleased. The Earth revolves around the sun and is happy. How come, the Earth wonders, that you on Earth, you who are able to move your legs and go where you want, you who have choices, why aren't you always happy? This is a real mystery to the Earth. It too asks: If you are not happy with life on Earth, then what are you doing here?

Yes...it is a real mystery...that all of us are not always happy. How can this be? And yet next to Love which lives around and in us as us, who cares?!!!!

Splashing and drenching you with Love, Jim and Jimi.

Blub, blub, blub.

To be drenched by Jim and Jimi has me over my head in the water of Life.

Am I happy with my pipes and the mess?

I actually act like it doesn't matter at all. Ha, that's what they think.
What can I do to make things better? Nothing. Life is perfect just as it unfolds. Complicated somewhat but fun watching my friends feel sorry for me. What can be nicer than friends feeling SOMETHING for me?

To receive caring is like receiving God's breath through HIS laughter.
Even broken pipes can actually be fun.

To add to my joy I read your beautiful words and BLAM, I'm shot down with the bullets of JOY, PEACE, and lots of good stuff. Thanks Jim

Bringing Earth Closer to Heaven

This is one of the most profound heavenletters I've read. What is heaven? I've always wondered. Really makes me think...

What is Heaven really like?

it really is NOW but has lots of wrappers.
Sometimes it's like a teeter tauter,
Occasionally is like a really fun movie.
Watch out for the scary ones.
The slide will put you where you least expect to be.
The roller coaster will thrill you even if you fall off.
The funeral home is the most beautiful mystery house.
The most bizarre thing is the time game. When you learn how, it's gone.
The most important thing is to play till you drop.

George amazed at the funny mirror thing
