The Sunlight Is So Bright

God said:

There comes a time in life when you recognize all that you are and all that you are capable of. At the same time as you soar, your feet touch ground, and you no longer see yourself holding the importance that you once had. You are stronger than ever, and yet you don’t exist. You are a cipher. You don’t know where you are or that you even are. In the act of discovering yourself, you discover you have flown the coop. You have flown away somewhere you know not where. You never existed. You were mistaken. You only thought you existed.

The realization that you are not can be disconcerting. You thought you were going to become exalted, and you find you have disappeared. This great enlightening has been a world reality check. Why, you are nothing at all. There is nothing left of you. You are invisible to yourself. You cannot locate yourself anywhere.

Then it must be that you are everywhere. How can you be everywhere and nowhere at the same time? How can you be nothing and everything at the same time?

The sunlight is so bright you cannot be seen. The sun is in your eyes. You are more than you ever thought you were, and still you are nothing at all.

Has the idea of enlightenment been a fraud perpetuated on you?

Have you been nothing at all right along?

You cannot find yourself. You would like to look up at the stars and see yourself, and yet you don’t see yourself in the stars. You embrace the stars, but where and what are you?

Were you ever? Did you ever exist? All that you thought you were – was it a false image? Were tricks being played on you? Were you playing tricks on yourself?

When you go through photo albums, you wonder who that person is that seems to be so full of himself. Once upon a time, that’s who you thought you were. A body surrounded by other bodies.

A terrible thing has happened. You can’t see yourself. You amount to nothing. You can’t see anyone else either. You are blinded by the Sun, or is it that you were blinded before when you thought you could see? Have you been looking at the TV? Once you were a TV star, and now you, the you that you believed in, has disappeared before your very eyes.

You see your hands typing away, yet whose hands are typing away? What are hands doing there, moving there, fluctuating there, connected to the keyboard there? They are as much you as the keyboard is you. Everything has disappeared. The whole world disappeared when you did. Will it ever be found again? Will you ever find it again?

You are waiting for something to appear.

The way it is now is that you can’t even see Me, sense Me. You sense a void... You may even feel that you have been left holding the bag.

This long-touted enlightenment takes some getting used to. Of course, it does. The whole world is floating away with you on it. You are unlocatable. Nothing is locatable, and where are you or anyone to locate the world or anything at all?

You feel as Rip Van Winkle must have felt. You went to bed. You think it is the next morning that you are rousing yourself, and yet you discover that, in Earth time, it has been years and years. In your case, it has been eons.

You have heard that to find yourself, you have to lose yourself. You seem to have lost yourself, and, yet, you are nowhere to be found.

You ask yourself: “Where am I? Can I be found? Or, am I lost forever? If I am in God’s embrace, when will I feel the warmth of His embrace? Am I no longer able to?”

It seems that you have been lost forever and will never be found again. Why do you have to be found somewhere when you ARE?

nothing and everything

Standing ovation
 
(Though I do hope that a warm embrace will stay lovely…)

And yet...

A "warm embrace" would be too human for this dis-human letter, besides it seems I "have been left holding the bag" and have no arms available, plus there is nothing to embrace. Yet...I am someway relieved, there are no istructions now on how to be happy and successful and loving, on how to deal with life, and especially on how to follow our desires and make them come true.

THE SUNLIGHT IS SO BRIGHT

OH, DEAREST CREATOR OF TRUTH, LOVE, PEACE AND LIGHT,

Rip Van Winkle to be sure. I went to bed and in that long sleep I forgot where I am, who I am or even if I am. Yes, I have heard

it said, "one must lose OneSelf to find OneSelf. 'Tis true, I do seem to be nowhere to be found. Blinded by the Sun, blinded

by the Sunlight of Your Love, i am nowhere. Just as YOU are unlocatable , so now am I. That must mean that the part

of me that was locatable never really had any reality at all. It was all a frightful dream which I've been trying to understand and there'll

never be any understanding of it because it had no meaning. Yet I don't feel I've been left out in the cold nor have I been left

holding the bag. There's something new in this blinding sunlight that I could never have felt before in my locatable state of being.

It's neither good nor bad, it's new and puzzling, but not frightening.

dear God heavenley father,

And my experience on the other side is to know where I am, to KNOW where I am on the other side better than this plane of earth. Bliss. Unbelievably so. And there are so many planes, that's true. I was once where people just wandered, floated by, and were in so much pain. It was so sad. What you wrote is absolutely beautiful. When my younger sister died I saw a Great One holding her, caring for her. Some months later I saw her holding me, tending to me in my continued grief at no longer being able to pick up the phone and call her. This is what I thought as I read your beautiful words. Thank you for sending me. With love, Lynne

At Your Feet and In Your Loving Heart

Dear beautiful Almighty Lord of Love,

Thank You for Your Divine message. Lost and confused, Dear Lord, we find ourselves when we Fall at Your Heavenly Feet and You pick Us up placing us In Your Divine Heart. We find Ourself when We Find Your Love. Dear Lord, Thanking You Humbly for Your Blessed Love Letters. They are Priceless and Irreplaceable.

Much Love And Light

The core of everything said,

The core of everything said, every Letter, every lived.
Whole.

Try to understand what on earth God's talking about. You can't.

This is perhaps the deepest Heaven Letter written to date. We are told that we are not what we thought we were. As we read these lofty words we know this is a truth of the spoof that appeared on the screen of our life's monitor as ourself. Is it possible to stop being who you think you are? Oh how hard we try to locate what isn't!

"It seems that you have been lost forever and will never be found again. Why do you have to be found somewhere when you ARE?" Is the way this Heaven Letter ends.

This is the profound, spiritual answer to a question we can't fathom. Read the letter a hundred times while saying "yes" under you breath to its conclusion.

To know this you must whisper your earth name of your body and pray: Father show ______________(your body name) the glory I had with you before the earth was. Help me hear the symphonic glory of my body story before I came into this earth thing I call "me." Father help me to settle into Life's always. Gloria Thanks.

George

Dear Father, Thank you dear

Dear Father,

Thank you dear Heavenly Lord, Comforter of Our Hearts. Your message seeps deeper when we are awake sleeping.

Much Love and Light

The disappearance of contrasts

In reading this Heavenletter, I have the impression of reading the Great Masters of Tibetan Buddhism. This is the most «oriental» of Heavenletters.

There is a beautiful self-permutation of the container and the content. In fact, the container is the content.

On earth, we perceive and identify by separation or contrasts. We need darkness to shape and perceptually «identify» multiples identities (persons, objets, ideas, feelings, expressions, etc.) which appear in the light as recognizable. So it goes with contrast of true/false, exactness/error, real/unreal. The purpose of darkness is exclusively to give seeming reality to individual things or bodies, or even ideas.

But what happens when one of the opposite disappears? In reality, the opposite that disappears is the one that has no real existence. And darkness (or shade) is that non-existent opposite. This is the same as saying that by perceiving light, darkness automatically disappears.

But the curious phenomenon, as God points it out, is that enlightenment does not mean that you finally «see» the light. Only the personal mind can conceive enlightenment that way: the sudden appearance of light in front of you. This is a very romantic vision. You cannot see the light because you are the light that has not yet learned to recognize itself:

“The sunlight is so bright you cannot be seen. The sun is in your eyes. You are more than you ever thought you were, and still you are nothing at all.” Note that God does not say that the sunlight is so bright you cannot see. It says that the sunlight is so bright that YOU CANNOT BE SEEN. We could add that YOU CANNOT BE SEEN BY YOURSELF. But, indeed, «This long-touted enlightenment takes some getting used to.»

The absence of contrast signifies the absence of time and space landmarks. Since our earthly identity is exclusively based on external references (even our «inner» ones), our sense of existing or being is also based on a pure construct. No wonder that when this faked-identity built on faked landmarks dissolves, we are left with nothing to rebuild our identity on. And, of course, there is no need to rebuild it. It is just that we are in our Real Identity but it takes a time of adaptation to recognize it. Yes, indeed, we have to loose ourself to find Our Self. This is the price tag on our ticket to go back Home.

So, if we keep in mind this idea of the disappearance of contrasts, which comes with the disappearance of the ego, then this Heavenletter reveals in all its light what it means TO BE.

This Heavenletter is pure ravishment if not abduction or rapture. And also a full tibetan buddhism exposé in a single Heavenletter.

And maybe not even in the

And maybe not even in the relative is contrast actually needed. Maybe that's just one of our theories of perception and cognition and nothing more.

One day you will discover the wondrousness of silence and how it grows. You don’t have to know the opposite of silence in order to know silence. It is a myth that you have to know the opposite. You don’t have to have contrast to know peace.

I think that's why "reference" has never really worked except in a very makeshift external way that needs a lot of conceptual props.

Yes, on a conceptual level, this Heavenletter is comparable to wisdom traditions around the world. Perhaps we would find it is universal. I would like to call it incomparable.
