The Altar God Wants You to Raise

God said:

You know you are important to Me, yet what if you were not the most important thing to yourself? How would your life be different? If you were not uppermost in your mind, what would be uppermost instead? What would fade and what would grow? And what then?

Life in the world is all about you at the same time as it isn't about you at all.

Beloveds, I am not talking about your value. Your value is unquestioned. I am talking about the preponderance of the direction of your thoughts. So, I ask again, what if your life on Earth is not all about you? What if it is not about you at all? What if it is about Me? And what if it is about everyone else and not about you? What would that make you then?

It would make you a server of mankind.

And if everyone were a server of mankind, what a world that would be. Do you agree with Me?

How safe the world would be when everyone beckons everyone else to go first in line! How generous life would be, and how gifted you would be, simply because you thought well of yourself, well enough not to feel mandated to think about yourself first. And when everyone else thinks of everyone and less determinedly about himself, his particular self, how generous life would be, and everyone would be a gift.

If everyone gave care and credence to everyone else, life would be as you have hardly dared dream that it could be. Instead of self-serving, everyone would serve everyone else. No one would neglect himself, you understand. You would not lay yourself down to be walked on. You would simply proffer your hand to everyone. Self-centeredness would leave. There would be no occasion for it. No imagined need.

There would be no offense and therefore no perceived need to defend.

Love would be the medium of the world. Love would be revealed. It would not have to be proclaimed because love would direct the world and sway it. Life would become what great musicals make of life, all because everyone's attention would be on a grander scale. Life would become grand. Life is already grand, but it would be grander.

Every day would be a celebration. Every day would be like a holiday, for every day would be holy as everyone gives service to everyone else. You must know by now that the altar I choose for you to raise to Me is your goodness to others.

All do serve. Wittingly or unwittingly, all serve. You serve the Universe. And now you would know you do simply because you didn't feel you had to put yourself first or that you would be overlooked.

When all serve all, what fear could remain?

When every child and every adult is reverenced, where would irreverence exist?

You know by now that your concern is not what everyone else is doing or saying or giving or withholding but rather what you yourself are doing and saying and giving. When this is the case, you will withhold nothing, for you graciously, gladly, and effortlessly will give everything, and still there will be plenty left over. You will not feel that you are giving anything away. You will feel you are richer as you enrich everyone else, and you will indeed be richer.

It has already been said that what you do for another, you do for Me. Will you do for Me? Will you give Me what I ask for? Will you bless the entire world as you go about your life every day? Will you bless Me, bless the world, bless everyone and everything, and bless yourself for My sake?

Self being uppermost –

Self being uppermost – isn't that the very definition of mind? Without self being uppermost, what calculations would there be? What fears? What second thoughts? What plans? What projects and productions? None. Mind wouldn't be needed any more, or perhaps we would keep it employed as heart's little helper. Yes, serving would very likely happen, but who would be doing it when I'm not uppermost in my mind? No one. Oneness. God. SELF.

Does this Heavenletter ask me to do something then? Am I to choose to serve and, through serving, to remove my little self (aka ego) from the position it has held? It doesn't feel like that. This would make serving just another project of the mind. But while reading, for the briefest moment there was a feeling as if I could simply be one of God's beloved animals who go about their lives unthinking, never making a project of anything. Since we humans have a mind that is able to imagine we fell out of Oneness, our "task" seems to entail a little more. Not to get rid of mind which, since it's there, cannot be just an error; but to make it as transparent and permeable as it did feel moments ago.

What a Teacher You are! You will lead me there again.

Your comments are so

Your comments are so beautiful. I don't want to make you self-conscious. I simply feel expanded when I read what you write.

One can hardly be more

One can hardly be more self-conscious than I am, dearest, dearest Heaven scribe. Being very, very self-conscious is what lends power to your longing for unselfconsciousness. So go ahead, build me up. Ah, expansion. Being used by the Great Expander  ♡

The Altar of Service To Others

Dear God, WE ARE TRYING TO GET THIS!! WE ARE NOT HERE FOR OUR SINGLE SELF
WE ARE HERE TO SERVE OTHERS. WE ARE HERE TO SERVE, TO BE COURTEOUS
TO OTHERS, AND THUS TO SERVE GOD. OUR MISGUIDED THOUGHT THAT
WE MUST TAKE CARE OF OURSELF FIRST IS ALWAYS THE HUGE MIS STEP.
WHEN I AM COURTEOUS TO OTHERS, LET THEM GO FIRST IN LINE, BUY
A BRIDGE TOLL FOR SOMEONE ELSE, FOR EXAMPLE, I AM TRULY SERVING.

AS I HELP WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS HAVING DIFFICULTY , I AM SERVING GOD
AND MY SELF. A TEACHER IS A GREAT TEACHER WHEN HE REALIZES HIS
STUDENT IS A MASTER, TOO, AND REALIZES HE IS THERE TO SERVE THIS ONE
TO REMEMBER HIS OWN MASTERY.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! LOVE FOREVER!

Paradox

The paradox and counter-dialogue in this Heaven Letter are beautiful and profound.

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me?" Ahh, thank you, Hillel!

And all the "nots" and "no's" that we can turn into "yesees" and "we cans".... It's so easy, with God's help....

Much love,
Carol

Carol's got a deep comment!

Not many of us can think as deeply as you, sweet one. Thanks so very much!

George trying for new ways to think

Remind me Lord

Remind me Lord when I am weak You are Strong.
I ask You to strengthen me in my inner man. Arise in me Oh God and work through this earthen vessel. Renew a steadfast spirit in me renew my mind .
Living in Him and He in me. Help me to be a close to You.
loving God for all eternity

Remember to serve the SELF

Remember to serve the SELF but not the little self (aka the ego) Listen to our hearts, and not the fearful, survival fighting ego. Dis-ease comes when we do not live In Love, when we let the little ego stress us. Just Be and let everything BE in the perfection it is. When we Master Life we can see that everything in that moment is just perfection, nothing more and nothing less.

Namasté to One and All,
Steve

Steve has his bright lights on

Steve we are all honored by this word you give. It really is Namaste to us all. Thanks bright one!

2 Heavenletter Haikus for

2 Heavenletter Haikus for you

Hello Friends,

God said when this is
When all serve all graciously
There will be plenty

God said for My sake
As you go about your life
Bless yourself for Me

Love, Light and Aloha!

Alohalight you feed us so well.

Honey I just blessed myself because of you! You are a darling!

George has plenty

This kind of talk is terrible!

This kind of talk is terrible for makers of cannons, it's awful for makers of tanks, it's awful for those who think force is the way to control the minds of men, This word is just terrible for men who love war and violence.

I hope more of it comes through these beautiful letters that have so much love to share.

Having been gone a week to Texas I have had to catch up on all these beautiful comments. it's just mind boggling, that's what it is.

George stupefied by the depth of what's happing with Heaven Letters

I think I am! Or is it I Think therefore I AM?

We all have a sense of value to that which is peering out at us from the mirror.

The beauty of this is that a wise man once said: "Beholding as in a mirror the glory of God, I am changed into that selfsame Image from glory to glory. Yes, these are just words but they can become part of our inner identity, our consciousness.

How does this happen? By thinking, after we have been still for a while, that what we have read in Heaven Letters, is like a sign post at a time when we felt very lost. We thank you precious writer for these clear messages from HIS heart through your open heart. We are blessed in finding our way Home.

George renewed by words of life

Reverence and Enrichment

"...When every child and every adult is reverenced, where would irreverence exist?..."

This is a small gem...but just as pure and sparkly as a large one. And of course, we do not have to agree with...or desire to hang out with another...to respect and honor and revere...and Love them. This is so beautiful...a relief to the soul...

And this one:
"...You know by now that your concern is not what everyone else is doing or saying or giving or withholding but rather what you yourself are doing and saying and giving. When this is the case, you will withhold nothing, for you graciously, gladly, and effortlessly will give everything, and still there will be plenty left over. You will not feel that you are giving anything away. You will feel you are richer as you enrich everyone else, and you will indeed be richer...."

This one also is a relief...and takes tons of pressure off...we do not have to be about other peoples business...just stay focused on what we are being...and giving. That's all...that is enough! And it is a joy to be of service...particularly if we are not concerned with what others think! When we are immersed in the love of God's heart....all else is useless irrelevance!

Loving your always, Jim and Jimi.

Reverence and Enrichment

Precious Jim, this needs no comment; it's too just right! Your something else!

Two steps in the right direction

This is a lovely Heavenletter, one of the best, but at first it seemed a little confusing, especially: “Life in the world is all about you at the same time it is not about you at all.” But then reading all the wonderful comments helped me to see a little more clearly. How can it be all about us and yet not about us?

How it is all about us: “You know by now that your concern is not what everyone else is doing or saying or giving or withholding but rather what you are doing and saying and giving.” This is clear, we are to drop the judgments we make about events and the action of others. As Jim points out, this is incredibly freeing, unloading a false sense of responsibility for what we can’t control anyway. God takes it the next step: “When this is the case, you will withhold nothing, for you graciously, gladly and effortlessly will give everything….” This is how it is not about us. We are to direct our thoughts in the better direction, away from ourselves and consider: “What if it is about Me? And what if it is about everyone else and not you?”

In this fantastic letter we are given two simple steps toward our rightful purpose. First, concern ourselves with our own actions and then direct our thoughts toward God Who will ensure our thoughts and actions bless the world. So simple…….so lovely……..feeling so privileged to be given these insights…..Chuck

Chuck tells it like it IS in two clear steps!

Chuck, your ability to summarize so well and thoughtfully helps us all grasp the beauty of this Heaven Letter while pointing us to God. Thanks

George patting his chest in satisfaction

Excellency and understanding

"we are given two simple steps toward our rightful purpose. First, concern ourselves with our own actions and then direct our thoughts toward God Who will ensure our thoughts and actions bless the world."

This is such an excellent and understanding way of saying. We move and have our being in Him. Thank you Chuck.
Living in Him and He in me
loving God for all eternity
Michelle
