The Tree You Want to Climb

God said:

Be open to life. Let life show up. It may not be as you expect. It may be quite different from what you expect, yet life appears, and life is to be welcomed. Love life, and yet not hold on to it. Life is a chimera. Life depends upon the filter you see life through. Accommodate life. Everything that occurs or does not occur is expanding you. You are not exactly a rubber band, yet you expand. Sometimes you feel stretched. Feeling stretched is also part of life.

You want a sunny day at the beach, and it rains. Enjoy the rain then. What is to stop you but an idea in your mind? An idea in your mind limits you from joy. Have other ideas that will not limit you.

You are meant for happiness and greatness. You are not meant for unhappiness and smallness. And so you expand. You are mighty, yet you are not a mighty oak that cannot bend. You are like a mighty willow tree. You are not blown away nor do you stand adamant. The winds of change go through the branches of a willow. The willow is not a pushover. The willow stands firm, and yet it bends. It makes way for newness. Be a staunch supporter of newness. Welcome the breezes of change.

Life beckons you. It beckons you to change. It is certain that life does not stay the same. Nor must you.

Be amenable to change. Do not make judgments. Make change welcome. Progress does not come from staying the same. A human being is someone who grows and changes. It is not that you betray your life by not holding onto it. You further your life. At every moment, you are growing closer to Me. You leap over the tall past. You are gracious to life. What else is there for you to do?

Change may not be what you want, and yet you would do well to make friends with it.

Consider life like the weather. You cannot lash the sun to a certain position in the sky nor can you erase the clouds at will. You can erase the storms of your mind that protest the course of life, however. If you must protest, protest your unwillingness to change, for change may be your best option, your only option.

Where do hard feelings come from except from an unwillingness to change? Have soft feelings. Be tender to life in all its guises. Life is mobile, and so you must move with it. Consider what is necessary, and what is not necessary.

In summer you do not need a winter coat. In winter you may want to wear ear muffs. What is fitting in one season of life is unfitting in another season. You are a human being who adapts to what is. You are not silly about the seasons. Sometimes, with life, you are silly. You may protest that water gets you wet. Life itself is like water. It flows, and, beloveds, you are to flow with it. Certainly, you can paddle your own canoe, yet why paddle upstream? Why upstream?

You can walk on the bank of the river. You can have a firm step, and yet not be tied to your former reactions.

And, so, you are adaptable. You can choose. You are not Johnny One Note. You are a human being who knows when to swim and when to float. When there is a tree you want to climb, you do not cut it down. When you protest life, are you not protesting the very tree you want to climb?

THE TREE YOU WANT TO CLIMB

Our Most Dear and Most Wonder-filled God,

Learning to adapt to what is fitting in one season and yet is not fitting in another - takes a Master at work. We all are striving to be masters I do believe. YOUR Sacred Presence is within ea. one of us. It takes an ever-renewing attitude to adapt, as You say to life.

To read HeavenLetters is like a reason to celebrate. To see a rainbow is a reason for celebration. I have heard that a rainbow is actually a whole circle, not just an arc of a circle. HeavenLetters are like a pipeline, I would say, to the "other side of the veil'. Life in the world can be a veil of tears. Life remembering the joy of God takes us into remembrance of God's eternal happiness.

"Life beckons you. It beckons you to change."

Wanting to change is a universal desire but it is a universal challenge and problem. In the moment of our desiring, in that very second, we can't change. We are stuck in what life IS for us in that holy instant.

This is why you must have a Heaven Letter in you hands in the moment of now that desires change. Change requires the RIGHT kind of thinking. Heaven Letters show us how to think and what to think. Making it a good habit to think elevating thoughts that will lift you higher and higher.

what I must

Dear George,

I don't like to have a Heavenletter, which I must have.
Even not in moments and holy instants when life tells me what life is - - change, change, change. It is a matter of impossibility to have a must inmidst of change.

Those who decide what is a must for others, turned out sooner or later as those who commandeered men, woman, children and ill and immobile people.

Good habits are not enough to raise me, to raise you, Irwin, Marie-Louise and to raise the world.

Be blessed, dear friend,

Theophil

I well understand the point

I well understand the point of view that a change, as much as we may want it, comes in its own way and in its own time. Of course, it's good to desire. Maybe value gets into our subconscious some way because we have desired it. Maybe willing a change and working at it does work for some of us. Of course, willing and desiring have to be our own choice one way or another. I've never liked anyone to tell me what to do! Yet sometimes a word from the outside snaps us out out of the trap we've fallen into. Not everyone has to or is going to read Heavenletters, yet it's safe to say -- or is it?!!! -- that we do better to read Heavenletters than not. to read them.

I can give you an example. How well I agree with the concept of staying away from negativity, and there I was racing toward it without, at the moment, any recognition that I was immersed in negativity until, suddenly ---

You can see more of what turned out to turn a negative experience into a positive one:

Gloria, you touch life with beautiful Wisdom.

Freedom speaks to each of us through your anointed words. Thanks Precious One.

George

... or is it?!!! ...

Dear Gloria,
there are many expanding and stretching thoughts in your lines. Thank you.

God says often: "You already know it better, so ..." When we already know it better, it is good to say, that we do better to read Heavenletters than not to read them.

We all have concepts, which we are fulfilling, or which we are not fulfilling. Dear Gloria, your link presents us one example of it from your present life. Theophil knows that music is harmony, and that creating music is creating and multiplying harmony - and Theophil does not pour harmony over the world all along, the whole day and during night, while eating, while writing, while thinking, talking, walking and so on. He would better do it. George knows that "he can be brought to a higher way of experience of love in its many forms". George knows it better: George himself can bring a higher way of experience of love in its many forms to George himself - and so, to the world and to Heavenletter readers.

So, it is about balancing. It is about OUR activity of balancing out what we think we are fulfilling, and what we think we are not fulfilling.
For our mind, it might be a surprise ... harmony is an outcome of uniting different items. Suspense builds and educates.

We already know it better ... we are more than asserting what we missed to do, to have and to be. We can say "Come on" to us. There is more of you who you really are, from where you came from.

Your father does not cast His eyes on those items which you do not fulfill. Our father does not know a concept like loss or lack, or a concept like You would better do it in this or that way. He knows it better, what I want to fulfill and to attain, and where I am full of myself and not in lack of anything - in Oneness, united and embraced by God, looking through His Eyes, thinking with His mind, using me as His Body. What else is going on?

God succors us and our awareness to do it better what we already know to do better. God is the More. And We are actualizing this More. That is our purpose during our stay in our body.

What does a mother / a father love more, but looking through the eyes of Her / His child? This is a given - given heavenly - even among humans.

So, what are my lines worth, to whom do they belong, is there a common procreator of them, when they came from your mouth and pen, dear readers, and when they came from my mouth or pen? Did I use your mouth? Did you serve me, did we serve each other?

Theophil

Theophil: I hope everyone reads your excellent comment.

Theophil your words speak to us of where you live and where you are coming from. Some like me, for instance, can be brought to a higher way of experiencing love in its many forms. I bless you. We all love the tug of FREEDOM. Thanks good friend.

George

George, Theophil's words

George, Theophil's words almost made me cry at the beautiful wonder of them.

You have done that to me sometimes too.

Theophil, please post a lot! And thank you for going to my humble post.

Today I learned another lesson on judgment.

God bless us all.

Love, Gloria
