Gloria to God:
Dear God, yesterday I saw the taped part of The Roseanne Show with Neal Donald Walsh and John Hagelin on it, and it was beautiful! Both so inspiring and so needed. Neal Donald Walsh reminds me of a personified You!
I was reading a little of Jeff Goldsmith, and he emphasized how all comes from You.
So, dear God, I want to thank You for The Roseanne Show, for the amazing flowers Jon sent me, for Lauren's giving me a great Mother's Day, for the privilege of writing HEAVEN, for all its beautiful readers, for the friendship and upliftment of Karen, for Sunshine and Ginger, for the beautiful place in which I live, for the people I know, for my life, my health and so much more.
Also, You gave me a special gift yesterday. Lauren did her own Godwriting; she really availed herself of You.
I thank You for everything, dear God.
God:
You're welcome, I'm sure.
There is no difference between your pleasure and Mine. Or, I should say Mine equals or exceeds yours.
I am grateful that you accept my offerings and that they please you.
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve you.
I am grateful that I have My children to serve, lead, and receive.
I am grateful for My creation.
I call it Mine because I am the Inceptor of it, but it is Ours. We share its treasures. We are partners in a Great Venture.
You are the mountain climber, and I am the Sherpa and the Summit of the mountain.
You are the butterfly hunter, and I am the Butterfly. I help you catch Me.
I am your heart strung out and wrapped around the universe.
I am the Music of an accordion, and you are the accordion and the accordionest.
I am a huge Bouquet of Flowers, and you are one tulip within it.
I am one Oak Tree that covers the universe.
I am a Curve on the horizon that you walk to.
I am your Searcher, and you are My sought.
I am your Soul's light within, and I am the Neons without.
I am the Rainbow you lie on.
I am the Poet of Creation.
I am the Piper.
You exist because of Me, and My existence is known through you.
It is My children who glory My existence.
You are the admirers of My Sun so that you may bask under its rays.
You are My donors and My recipients.
You are a hand held to My heart.
You are eyes that look up at Me.
You are My teardrops, if I had tears.
You are the light of My eyes shining on Me.
You press a button called Love, and I go into action. I set things in motion.
You are the waves of the ocean, I curve you back and forth.
You are the sigh of My heart, if I had sighs.
But you are My "Ah", for I hold you in wonder.
I hold My creation in wonderment at the beauty I have wrought.
I bow down to My creation and pick it up and take it with Me where I am.
We are the same breeze that wafts on one side of a curtain or the other.
I am your breath in, and your breath out.
I am the puller of you. I drew a picture of you, and now I draw you to Me.
I escalate you in My arms.
I hold you in My heart.
I raise you high.
I swing you from above.
I dip your feet in the water.
I dry them off.
I count your toes.
You dance with Me.
We walk barefoot on the grass. We hang out clothes. We dig for treasure. We find it. We are it, the treasure We find.
We dig a deep well, and We are the water thereof.
We mix Heaven and earth.
We ascend. We are one perfect enfoldment of one and the other.
And We are love. It comes back to that, the lovely love of love expressing itself, tripping over itself, dancing with itself, making music of itself, unending concert of applause for applause. We cannot stop clapping, for the dance has begun and the music plays and Our feet fly to Heaven.
Gloria:
Wow! I wish I understood everything.
God:
Your heart does. Your mind cannot. Don't try. Just enjoy.
A Course in Miracles, What Are the Characteristics of God's Teachers? (cont.):
"1. Trust.
"This is the foundation on which their ability to fulfill their function rests. Perception is the result of learning. In fact, perception is learning, because cause and effect are never separated. The teachers of God have trust in the world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the world made up. It is governed by that which is in them but not of them. It is this Power that keeps all things safe. It is through this Power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven world.
"When this Power has once been experienced, it is impossible to trust one's own petty strengths again. Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him? And who would place his faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of God are laid before him. What is it that induces them to make the shift?"
Gloria:
Dear God, A Course in Miracles is so powerful.
God:
It is powerful because it is Truth. Whom do you bet on? God or ego? In Whom do you trust? Truth or illusion?
This is such an easy course!
Gloria to Mother Divine:
Dear Mother Divine, what love do you wish to share this morning?
Mother Divine:
The love of my laugh. Laugh with me today! Laugh at you, sitting up in bed, writing so seriously!
Laugh at today as you madly wash dishes and try to straighten your office. Laugh at this rushing Gloria who dashes hither and yon, and scrambles around, opens her mouth, talks, feels, bemoans the lack of time and so on. Do you see how preposterous you are, dear Gloria?
Remember that the God within you likes to go nice and easy and will accomplish all.
The same way you give HEAVEN over to God, give over your daily life. Let God get your housely work done or not.
Just you go in the direction of your tasks, and let the real God take over, not that racing scurrying Gloria. Let the Real Mover move. Let the real Doer do. Just you go along for the ride.
What am I saying?
Gloria:
Slow down.
Mother Divine:
Yes. Do you see how your rushing is control? Let go of control, and the frantic rushing will cease.
Have a calm day of calm today, and God will get more done.
Be a lumbering elephant today, okay?
Gloria:
Okay! I feel like you are Karen talking directly to me.
Mother Divine:
I in Karen often speak to you.
