simplicity
Your Heart Is Beautiful
Your heart, your beautiful heart! It is your heart, beloved. It is the midpoint between the world and Heaven. It has its feet in two boats. One boat is anchored in Heaven, and one boat is wobbly on Earth. Heaven is your love boat, beloveds. And the Earth boat seems to have no anchor, though, of course, Heaven is its anchor. There would be no Earth life without Heaven to secure it.
A Swim in the Ocean of Love
Remember the simple things. They are to savor.
What is complicated complicates. Simplicity simplifies.
You really do not want complexity.
In all areas of life, simplify.
It is symbolic to say to travel with your feet bare and a knapsack over your shoulder, or a little carpet to roll your belongings up in, and doesn't that sing the melody of simplicity and ease in life? The lyrics read: Carry little with you.
Arise and Walk
What choice do you have but to enjoy life?
Whatever difficulties you have, protests don't change them. You may feel that problems were foisted on you, but wherever they arrived from, they arrived. You can fuss and fume about life all you want, but what good does it do? That's why I say, what choice do you have but to enjoy life? Isn't this the simplest thing you ever heard?
Even when you stumble and fall, is it not possible that you can enjoy that view? You would not have chosen to be on the floor, but now that you are, what would it take for you to make it worthwhile?
The Parade of Life
How simple life is when you do not get caught up in the details!
How simple life is when you move through the sheaves of wheat! The path you leave is quickly erased.
How simple is life when your intention is to enjoy rather than analyze!
How simple is life when you don't keep track of it, but pass right through it!
Every day is like a walk to a new horizon. Keep walking.
Must life be placed so carefully? Must you know at every turn what you are supposed to do? Is it necessary to make a list ahead of time?
The Prime of Life
Simplicity is oneness. One bowl. One spoon. How simple!
You make complicated. You must have ten of everything to keep track of. You roll in life faster and faster, and still you collect moss. You collect more moss. But you are not a stone. You are a Human being. You are beyond moss. You are beyond accumulation. You are a roll of My heart. My heart rolls in the world. Take care of My heart inside yours.
You cannot lose yourself, for I am always.
You Are Made of Stardust
How can I not be pleased with you? I see well.
It is you who is not pleased with yourself.
It is you who finds fault, not I.
If you did not find fault, you would not make fault.
Let go of fault, and you will be more of what you are.
Oh, the glance of fault — let it go! The superiority of fault. No less superior is the fault you find in yourself — let it go! Enough faultfinding! It leads you nowhere.
Be a joy-finder. Be pleased. Be pleased.
Laugh at yourself a lot.
But do not mock yourself.
Make yourself true.
The Possibilities of Yes
Let simplicity in and complexity out.
Complexity is not truth. Simplicity is.
One is a simple concept.
Reduce everything to one.
When everything is reduced to its simplest, you have truth. You have had much fringe on your thinking. Your thoughts have been tassels waving in the breeze. Let your thoughts return to the main of what is and release the exterior of what is not. You have created false images.
The Simple Youngest Son
My children, believe in yourself.
That is the same as saying, Believe in the messages you receive from Me. Believe in your hearing. Believe in the impulses you receive. Listen to the drumbeat of your heart.
Your heart is not old habits. Old habits are of the mind, telegraphed to the body. The heart is ever new.
The heart will tell you when to turn left and when to turn right. The heart will tell you where to turn. The heart will not wait. The heart does not have to think about it. This is not whim We are speaking about; it is heart direction.
One Thread at a Time
Instead of thinking that life is complicated, think of it as simple. How you think, you will have. Perhaps you want life to be complicated. In that case, continue to think that it is.
If you prefer instead that life be simple, then consider it so.
Simple has to do with one. Days unfold one at a time. Moments unfold one at a time. There is only one thing you can do at a time. There is only one thought you can have at a time.
When you assail yourself with many thoughts and do not pick one, then your life appears complicated.
An Indefinable Something I
Be with people who make you want to be a better person in the world. Be with people whose very presence makes you aspire to be greater. The people I am talking about do not require that you want to rise. There is no sense of obligation. There is not even a request to you to expand your horizons. It is that simply by their presence, you feel something good, and you want more of it, and you want to be it. You want to be like these people who somehow, by their very being, increase your worth to yourself.
