Gloria to God:
Dear God, Peace of My Heart, where are You?
God:
I am here. Where are you?
Gloria:
I feel like a frazzled heart.
God:
Sit here with Me for a while. Let Me work My magic on you. My magic is stillness. Sit and let frazzle be undone. Frazzle and silence are not partners. Frazzle and I do not have a cameraderie. Do your asanas and pranyama and come back.
Later…
Gloria:
Dear God, I am back, and I do feel better. To get out of this frazzle spin I'm in, it's good for me to think in terms of the big picture. Not to think I have three days of back typing to do and so on, but to think that I have a chance to serve You. If I am caught up in the details, I am losing sight of what the details are for.
God:
Like a mother, Gloria. She is greeting a child to the world and giving him love to keep him going. That is her life. If she thinks her life is a round of diapers and feedings, she will feel bogged down.
Your task is to introduce Me to the world. It doesn't have to be done all at once. Instead of thinking you have so much to do, think of how pleasing it is to serve Me and follow My Will.
This frazzle is an apt signal to tell you to look at where you are going.
What is the purpose of HEAVEN?
Gloria:
To reach as many people as possible as quickly as possible so that they know who they are and have love for themselves.
God:
To touch as many people as possible as quickly as possible so that they can believe in themselves.
Look beyond the immediate task.
Gloria, why will people sign up for Heavenletters? It is a subscription to themselves. It is a prescription to raise their sights. Simply reading My words sails them to new horizons.
A Course in Miracles, Who are Their Pupils?, Conclusion:
"When pupil and teacher come together, a teaching-learning situation begins. For the teacher is not really the one who does the teaching. God's Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. The relationship is holy because of that purpose, and God has promised to send His spirit into any holy relationship in the teaching-learning situation; each one learns that giving and receiving are the same. The demarcations they have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their needs, their interests, and all the difference they thought separated them one from another, fade and grow dim and disappear. Those who would learn the same course share one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave his teacher to him. He has seen in another person the same interests as his own."
Gloria:
I come back to that again and again, that You are the Teacher, dear God.
God:
Yes. My assistant teachers pass out papers and take roll-call and keep their eye on Me. I am the Teacher and the Doer. There is no other.
Gloria to Mother Divine:
Dear Mother Divine, I feel you soothing me.
Mother Divine:
You feel my love mingling with yours. I stir the love between us so it moves.
It is like when you pet your puppies. You are in truth moving the love around. You do the same in this writing.
Whatever gives joy, you can be sure that it is the mixing of love with love. Love must flow. It does not like to be idle.
Life is a wooden spoon that stirs love, mixes it with itself, and moves it full stream. Love cannot trickle. Love has no smallness. Love is an active stream that finds new paths to stream in.
Love does not like to be locked in a heart. Love must out. It forges a trail and picks up all in its sweep.
Be a carrier of love, a furtherer of love, a giant of love. Wave it. Carry a wand of love today that you bless all with. Do it quietly. Tap the wand lightly on hearts. Or wave the wand and let the lovedust drift and settle where it wills.
Send out generic love.
Every act today, every thought today, backed by love.
Love the annoyer, the trespasser, the sodden. Love God in them. He is not separate.
Love the light in yourself. Help it grow. Give it away.
Later…
Gloria to God:
Dear God, this was really a rough day for me. Karen said that working on a grand project like HEAVEN brings others' spirits that know I am in peace to try to break that peace. She said I must stay neutral, laugh, and not be so serious. But how do I do that?
God:
Be good-natured. Untense yourself. Decide ahead of time that you will have peace whatever the computer does.
Often lower vibrations seek to pull higher vibrations down to them. If you become unhappy, they have succeeded.
Gloria to Mother Divine:
Dear Mother Divine, I feel like these are my "war" days. Am I picking up what is going on in the world?
Mother Divine:
Look to yourself, my dear Gloria, look to yourself, not the world. Not the full moon. They all have their influence, but you are your own star.
Gloria:
Am I difficult to get along with right now?
Mother Divine:
Ask yourself how are you getting along with yourself. How much love are you giving you? Don't answer. Just let the question settle in. That's as much as you are giving others.
Gloria:
Karen tells me not to take things so seriously.
Mother Divine:
You are like a mad scientist, Gloria, when it comes to accomplishing HEAVEN. How would God do it? Answer.
Gloria:
He wouldn't feel pressured. He would be so nice.
Mother Divine:
That's how you must be with yourself.
Gloria:
I have been counting on Lauren to help with things, and I can almost depend that she won't. She has said she would enjoy doing a web page, but where is it? She feels that I make it difficult for her to want to do anything to help. She is unemployed right now; she could be the business manager and artistic designer. She knows operations so well. And despite this surface frustration we both feel, she understands me very well and would create an artistic concept of a web page that no one else could.
I feel she makes it hard for me. I was up at 4:00 yesterday morning and wrote HEAVEN, did my program, and came down at 9 a.m., and asked Lauren if she printed out the email addresses off my old program. This isn't regular printing, and I don't know how to do it. When we met with Jeremy, she said that was something she could do.
At about 3 in the afternoon, when she got off the phone and her internet chat groups, she came and did it. It took her three minutes and I was waiting for it for over six hours. I don't get it.
I know she is feeling that no one helps her, but sometimes I get the feeling that maybe she doesn't want me to accomplish HEAVEN.
Lauren has truly been a marvelous daughter, but now something small is going on between us.
I have heard that our children treat us the way we treated them. I wonder what I did to make her so resentful.
Mother Divine:
You were not always sensitive to her needs. Lauren is also going through a lot that is not related to you but that she holds you responsible for. She knows better. She will come out of this with shining colors, and so will you. Be patient. Be patient with yourself.
