The Radius of Your Heart

God said:

That you welcome all into your midst means that you don't keep anyone out from the circumference of your heart. No matter how someone has offended you, he is still welcomed to the world. You do not obliterate him. If someone hurt your feelings twice, you are not entitled to hurt his once. It is not necessary.

If someone snubbed you ten times, you are not to snub him once.

Never let enmity get so far that you do not talk to someone. You don't turn your nose up in the air. Because someone acted poorly is no reason for you to cast him out from the radius of your heart. Because someone was less than you, you do not become the same as he and less than yourself, for then you diminish life on Earth, and you diminish all.

Acting on My behalf means to equate yourself with Me. Climb higher. If you must copy someone, copy Me. That is the same as to say to widen your horizons. Do not lower your horizons. Do not copy one who has offended you. Rise instead.

I do not hold anything against anyone. I do not turn anyone away. All are My children, and all are innocent. Free Will means that you are allowed to make mistakes. You yourself have done so. Everyone on Earth has done so. All are free to come to Me at whatever junction in life they may be at. I welcome all. I do not welcome only the holy. I welcome all, those who seemingly need Me the most as well as those who seemingly need Me the least. Who is to say, beloveds, which you are or which someone else is.

The inter-relationship between all My children is unfathomable. That the connection exists is not arguable. There is one great team that everyone plays in, and each affects the other. What part you play may be questionable, but that you play a part is not in question.

If you are a basketball player, it is for you to jump high.

If you are a swimmer, it is for you to swim far.

If you are a digger, it is for you to dig deep.

If you are a speaker, it is for you to speak well of others and yourself.

If you are listener, it is for you to listen.

If you do not understand someone else, it is for you to learn understanding.

If you resent someone's words or deeds, it is for you to let go of resentment.

If someone owes you an apology, consider that it is given. If necessary, make their apologies to yourself for them in your own heart, and it is done. Accept their apology, and now make your own apology for taking offense to them. It is true that you are sorry you took offense. And now the message is sent, and now you have freed yourself, and now you can move forward in life.

Life is to be fluid, beloveds, and you are to be fluid. You are not to be rigid, nor are you to bind yourself to one position from which you cannot move. Let your heart flow.

If life is to be agreeable, then you must be agreeable.

This is what it means to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You are the one who goes first. You are the one who paves the way. You pave the way by uplifting yourself and, therefore, others.

Shutting down the hurt

Thank you Gloria for this one, it is one I'm still personally working on doing better with,
it is one that I need to open my heart to.
I tend to not let people in that have harmed me deeply, I simply won't let them do it again so I shut them out of my life entirely. This is only in a professional sense, with professional relationships, but
I know it's wrong. In the past it's helps me to move on from the hurt so that I can be a healthy person sooner for the world and my family and get out of the negative spiral.

Eventually I will let them back in, I know I need to do this, thank you for the reminder.

This is a hard one, Lance.

This is a hard one, Lance. Once burned, twice shy. Once a joke, twice a fool.

Of course, we can be courteous and not hateful, but if someone cheated in business, let's say, I'm not going to go back to him and do business with him again.

I could give an example or two when a friend and I have had it with each other. We just are not going to continue. After a time of that, we become friends better than ever and what used to come up before doesn't come up again. I don't have that lovely resolution figured out either.

Does God says it is always a misunderstanding? I'd better read this Heavenletter over.

Thanks, Lance, for your evocative comment.

Been there done that

G'Day Lance. Just a question Who can hurt you if you will not let them ? who is hurt You Or Ego? Lance I have been in the situations you say you still have difficulties with and learned that if the intent to better yourself is there, you get All the help you need.I used to get upset with Politicians now I only Laugh at there antics and just live my own life in LOVE. People tell my beloved Wife that I mellowed so much lately and people start smiling when we meet, as before we just said Hi. Lance just commenting here and writing about your intention will be a tremendous help to you and you will soon be Happy with your self and GOD is smiling Love Jack. .

Allowing and Loving...

I understand shutting people out of my heart...I understand this...and we do this again and again out of fear of getting hurt again or getting hurt in a far greater way. When this hurt comes...it feels that love is far, far away. I understand all of this. And it is still okay...It is okay to just allow this experience...and this perspective...just allow it. (ps: When we deeply allow....we open up a place in our hearts...to let Love come in....to let Love Love us, them and yes....the hurt) thank you Lance for sharing this. Love and many blessings, Jim and Jimi.

Dear Lance, we can love from

Dear Lance,
we can love from a distance. That is love's capability.
Which distance we choose, is our choice. Which love we choose, is not our choice.
Love IS. There is no different or another love elsewhere.
There is no choice when it comes to love.

So, why not be truly free in choosing the distance to somebody? How tiny tots are doing?

Be blessed,
Theophil

Fluidity

"What part you play may be questionable, but that you play a part is not in question."

So I play the part of the one being hurted. Consequentely I feel resentment, then I feel guilty for my resentement and I try to feel some form of what I call love and which is only the opposite of resentment or hate. I sink more and more into the mind and the mud of illusion, into the play and into my part of a hating or loving person(ality).
We should free ourselves from others, that's all.
Let's admit we do not yet know what Love is, this Love that IS. And this is the reason why we are here: to have Love revealed.

Nothing at all.

I love this. Since I do, may I add that freeing ourselves from anything is the very same mud? Only a thought. A thought just like hurt, resentment, opposite of resentment, guilt, mind, illusion, love, God.

As long as there are thoughts that work for you, fine. If you ran out of working thoughts – really, if you found there is not one thought left that's working for you, what then? You would love something to be real, like love perhaps, or God. What if you find they are also just thoughts or, worse, words? To me, this feels a little uneasy but strangely free, strangely right. What is everything when it is not being thought? What is God when I don't think "God"? One thing I know: The God I think of is cardboard. Whatever can be thought of and known and had isn't worth knowing or having.
 
All the world’s plaudits are irrelevant. All the wealth or all the poverty. All the understanding or misunderstanding. All the caring or not caring. All the ease and all the difficulty. All the knowledge and all the ignorance. All the fame as well as being overlooked. All the A’s and all the E’s. They are all the same. They have nothing to do with you. What does anything have to do with you? Nothing has anything to do with you. Nothing at all.

Nothing at all? For a moment you may feel like slowly turning around the vertical axis of your body, but you turn into yourself, and after a full turn you do not reappear, you're gone. And then "nothing at all" is God. I hope you don't ask me to explain.

A thought

I can't disagree because I see that the thought that all is a thought, is a thought and so on, a thought is a thought is a thought...
All that we know and speak about is but a thought of God. "Before" this thought God may have been "nothing at all", but in this nothingness not even the thought of itself could arise. So even "nothingness" can't be qualified for what we commonly "think"it is.
What remains is the sound of words: freedom, vastness, beauty, silence, nothingness. They make us turn into ourselves to catch their essence and this is the spark of a "new" creation. Think of God turning into Himself, trying to catch His nothingness, the moment He turns inward, looking at nothingness, a thought is born and creation starts. After all, a thought is not only a thought!
