as to ... written October 11, 2013 Get Unstuck from Your Past ...
Dear Gloria,
let us look at the fifth paragraph.
Is this correct or is it comprehensible?
Let it go. Let it recede. That’s what you hang on to is doing anyway. All your good deeds are in the past, and all what you call misdeeds are also in the past.
In love,
Theophl

Well, beloved Theophil, it is virtually not comprehensible. Thank you for pointing it out.
Here’s what it’s supposed to mean:
God wants us to let the past recede, yes? God says that we hang on to the past, but the past is receding anyway. That is the reality. We hang on to what cannot be held onto.
Now, let’s think of solutions to that sentence:
You can’t hang on to the past anyway. Once the past is no longer present, it has already receded. You are hanging onto something that is no longer there. The past that you think you are holding onto receded as soon as it was no longer the present. You think you are holding onto the past.
Receding is what the past you like to hang onto is doing anyway.
Theophil, does this last sentence above work for you? Does it need more?
I assure you that in the time it took me to consciously come to this (if it does work) was greater than the time writing down the whole Heavenletter took without any thinking from me.
[...] Gloria

Dear Gloria,
I comprehended it from the the first reading like ... Receding is what the past you like to hang onto is doing anyway.
Put it like this, it is clearer. Many thanks, Theophil
The context did not allow, as it seemed to me, other meanings
