Heaven #167
6th paragraph
...as endless?
Welcome uncertainty. Welcome wondering. Welcome new. You don't have to feel secure or established. There is no such thing as settling down. As soon as you settle back, it's time to get up and go further. You think you seek for balance, and that once you have it, you need seek no longer. But there is no end to your development, and there is no end to your knowing Me. That is eternity. Eternity is not the same endless. It is not a long straight line. Think of it more as loops, or connected circles, or helixes rising. That is the course of your life with Me. Ever more.

Beloved Eagle Eye who
Beloved Eagle Eye who catches everything!
I have no idea what the missing word was supposed to be. The same endless what?
What I think I would do, dear Jochen, is take the liberty of taking out "is not the same endless" so it would read like this:
What do you think?
Just as an aside, at first I ready #167 as #161. 161 was a terrific Heavenletter, worth reading again!
Like what, Señora? The
Like what, Señora? "Eternity is not a long straight line", is that what you mean?
The suggestion I made is completely off the mark? How about "Eternity is not the same as endless time"?
Don't you use the links I post? But yes, #161 is great, the idea of "getting along well without bearings" worth remembering.
Beloved Senor, I didn't
Beloved Senor, I didn't notice the link until later!
It must be that I also missed your suggestion! I am working very fast, and often too fast.
I like your suggestion very much. I think you are right. Oh, yes, what you suggest must be what God had intended. Will you kindly fix it that way?
Muchas gracias. Always persist, bitte.
Dearest, most precious
Dearest, most precious Heaven scribe, it must be very very early morning for you right now – are you sure you want to work at the computer at this time of day?
I have made two suggestions by now: The first consisted in simply inserting "as". The second further adds "time" and reads: "Eternity is not the same as endless time."
Which one do you want?
Say "first" or "second".
Second. I have the feeling
Second. I have the feeling that time is what God had originally said, and most precious Heaven scribe didn't write it down!
What can I do when I wake up at 2 a.m. and can't get back to sleep?
Loving you,
Gloria
In one of the most famous
In one of the most famous channelings of the twentieth century it is said that it's best for us to have several shorter and therefore more deeply refreshing sleeping periods throughout the day, never more than 4 hours at a time (otherwise chakras getting sluggish etc.). Well, waking up at 2 a.m. and not being able to get back to sleep would drive me absolutely nuts within a few days, that's for sure. You seem to be taking it in stride. Or perhaps it's your natural rhythm you feel comfortable with. For me, tense as I always am, 7 to 8 solid hours of sleep are a blessing I couldn't do without. And thank God, I rarely encounter sleeping difficulties except around full moon – and even then some harmless herbal formula will knock me out all right. Sleep is an escape for me, I suspect. But hey, it's also something to be thankful for. Like Heavenletters. Like the colors of autumn. Like you.
Dear Jochen, this forum is
Dear Jochen, this forum is so beautiful and I need your help, Divine Archivist. I remember a recent Heavenletter when God told us to precede the world in its awakening, something like: "Ok world, come with me, I begin and you follow" Do you remember? Could you find it for me? Is it possible I am unable to find it? Now with Gmail I can receive better, but it is not so usefull like other mail adress. Well, thankyou and my gratefulness. (later I will read every post here)

Pitta, dear, I remember only
Pitta, dear, I remember only very vaguely even though I know that God has said things to this effect more than once. It's very difficult to find a Heavenletter unless you clearly remember at least one characteristic expression or phrase. How recent, what is your best guess? A week, a month?
Okay, I'll try to let my intuition do it.
Ciao Pitta. Don't ask me how
Ciao Pitta. Don't ask me how this works. I simply went over the list of recent titles and found myself attracted to this one:

You may say, “But, God, don’t you want me to be like Christ?”
Christ was Christ because he knew precisely Who He Was. So, yes, I ask you to be like Christ.
You may say, “But, God, don’t you want me to give to the poor and help the lame?”
I want you to awaken to the Greatness within you so that you may naturally succor the world without a backward glance. When you know what you are made of, there would be no poor to give to.
. . . . . .
http://www.heavenletters.org/what-you-are-here-for.html ….
I am here to bring light to the world, and so are you.
Your choice is to bring light to the world or leave it in simulated darkness. Which do you choose?
[….]
Will you come out front or will you hover in the wings? Will you leave the lighting of the world to someone else, or will you come forward and shine light? Even if you shine the limited light you believe is all you possess, then shine that. By your shining some light, you will begin to perceive the Greater Light within you. Your way will be lighted because you lit another’s.
There is so much light within you that you can light the entire world. All the light that underlies the manifest world, and all that is beyond the manifest world, is the light you are made of, and it is the light at your disposal to shine.
First you start with a trowel of My Light, and then a shovel, and then you shine it out with both your hands, and with all your might. To shine My light takes no might at all. It is the natural thing to do. It is who you are when all you have learned has been dispensed with. The world has taught you that you are less than light, and you went along with the world.
Now go along with Me. Forsake the dictates of the world in order to heal it. Let the world bask in the Sunlight of your heart.
Cast a benign eye on the world. Toss your love high. Let love go where it may. Let love fall on love. Once and for all, be done with whatever else has snuck into your heart. Love will spill it over, and it will evaporate. All the lesser emotions will be evicted never to return. There is room in your heart for love alone. Let love reign. Let love take full effect. Splash the world with your love -- you will get splashed too.
Beloveds, go ahead and drown yourself in love. This is what you are here for. This is what you are meant to do. Splash the medium of yourself. Multiply love across the face of the Earth. Shine My Light, beloveds. Shine it high.
Powerful quotes, Theophil! I
Powerful quotes, Theophil! I take one sentence from each of the two passages that fits on a little post-it I can stick to my heart.
From the first: "When you know what you are made of, there would be no poor to give to."
From the second: "Splash the medium of yourself."
(And just to make sure I'm not missing out on something: This is not about typos, is it?)
... and more ....
http://www.heavenletters.org/you-are-one-who-rises-above.html
Under the title "You Are One Who Rises Above" we can read, among others ...
"When you get up and sit in another chair, you look out from the same window but you have a different view." [...]
"As you rise taller, the world does not disappear, but there is more to the world. And so We can say that the world is changed. You change your way of looking, and the world looks different. In fact, the world will grow to fit your estimation of it. The world expands according to your vision.
If the world and the people in it are not good enough for you, then it is up to you to rise higher and see differently. Your present seeing keeps them in place. It prevents their upward motion. Your eyes have tied them. How you look at people is paramount to their evolution.
I am not telling you to lie to yourself. I am telling you that you may have looked from a perspective that is not helpful to you or others. Your estimations and judgments keep them where they are. They rise along with you. Your vision and courage catch them like a gust of wind and they are moved along and find themselves in a different place.
Each soul on earth is capable of great greatness. You do not know what another's wonders are to perform. You do not know what yours are. As you get up, you will have a better sense of it. You will have more openness to it.
When you feel bereft or disappointed in yourself or others, you have missed something. Perhaps you were looking too closely. In any case, you have to change your stance. It is hard to stay where you are and see more than you presently see. My advice to you today is to get up and rearrange yourself in your life today."

Dear Gloria, there seems to be something wrong with the last sentence of this Heavenletter:
“I have had enough feeling sorry for myself or denouncing myself. Now I choose service to God and I can know that all service is to all to myself as well without thinking about it.”
http://www.heavenletters.org/in-service-to-god.html
If I delete "to all", adding a comma, it looks like this:
Does it work that way?

Heaven #3109
It is better not to mind what anyone says. Do you understand Me? It is a waste of your energy. No matter what someone says, he is talking about himself. You are better able to see this with others more easily than you see this with yourself, yet it is so. What you frown at is you, beloveds. No matter how wrong what someone said may be, you are the one looking at it, and you are prolonging it when it's better to drop it.
Gloria,
There seems to be something wrong with the highlighted passage. As far as I can see, there are two possibilities:
Which one, or yet another version, do you want?

(Great paragraph, isn't it?)
You are so right, beloved
You are so right, beloved Jochen. And thank you so much for your caring.
You are better able to see this with others more easily than you see this with yourself.
Either we take out the better or we take out the more easily.
And this you have done!
How to choose which. Well, I'll go for 2. God is such a nice Boss. He is happy with whatever we choose.
A million thanks, Jochen.
Heaven #3475
Gloria, the following paragraph has a sentence I don't know how to put togeter:
How do you right a wrong, beloveds? Only by moving on, can you. Not by not digging deeper, can you. Only by doing good, can you. Only by going higher, can you.
Is the "Not" meant to be "Only"? Or does the second "not" in this sentence need to go?
Then we would have either
1. Only by not digging deeper, can you.
or
2. Not by digging deeper, can you.
http://www.heavenletters.org/to-be-responsible-is-to-be-powerful.html
Hurray, Jochen is back! The
Hurray, Jochen is back!
The second not is a typo. The sentence should properly read: Not by digging deeper, can you.
Amazing how I don't see a typo until you point it out!
Hurray! May I dig deeper and

May I dig deeper and ask where have you been?

(third paragraph from below)
How wonderful that you experience another realm from time to time, find yourself transported, find yourself with amazing experiences, something to write home about. These spiritual experiences have an affect on you, and yet you have to get up from them, or they will delay your arrival. They are already past, and you know not to live in the past. You know to keep going.

Heaven #3548
There is a sentence at the beginning of the fourth parahgrap that looks incomplete to me. Does it need a "My will" or something?
In not being here for yourself, you do serve yourself, and yet is done when you are not thinking of yourself.
http://www.heavenletters.org/in-love-go-forth.html
Dearest Jochen
Dearest Jochen,
Just to let you know that this was addressed...love to you always.
Nancy
Dearest Gloria,
In Heavenletter #3548....should there be the word, it added to...and yet it is done when you are not thinking of yourself. See full quote below.
"With Me in mind, the whole canvas of your life expands. How you grow! How you save steps and still go further and faster. Where are you going, My little lamb? You are going to where you started. You start off from Go. Every day you venture. Every day you start from Go, and every day you progress. Every day you come closer to knowing where you are and Who you are and what you are doing in the world.
In not being here for yourself, you do serve yourself, and yet is done when you are not thinking of yourself. Thinking of your gain simply is not a great enough purpose for you. Thinking of yourself predominantly defeats your purpose. The ultimate loving of yourself is entering the world as – shall I say – My exponent, My loyal Knight, caring for the world. To be yourself, you do have to think beyond yourself. If you are only for yourself, you stay on a deserted island off somewhere, nowhere, really."
Namaste,
Nancy
Beloved Nancy, you sure hit
On August 3rd, 2010 Gloria Wen... says:
Beloved Nancy, you sure hit on something. Awkward, isn't it. I wonder what the it actually refers to. Okay, I think it refers to serving yourself. I think it is it! Thank you, dear angel, for all your service and care, never once thinking about yourself. God bless you.
Ah, I see. I even remember
Ah, I see. I even remember now. I just forgot because I don't read Heavenletters before their publication date.
But something should be done about this sentence. Adding an it does not make the sentence clearer to me. How about "and yet My bidding is done" since bidding was mentioned in the second paragraph? Anyway, something is done, and a mere "it" doesn't say what it is that's done.
what is correct?
Is the sentence, without additions, grammatically correct, regardless of various meanings and various possible references to what is done?
I would be glad to receive certainty in this respect, being not familiar with spoken English.
Something else ...
Is the first word of this Heavenletter correct? "To think, you were born from My heart, mind, and intention."
In Love,
Theophil
To think, you were born from
To think, you were born from My heart..."
To think is a common what to say this. Now your question was easy, Theophil!
About the following passage, what to do?.
"In not being here for yourself, you do serve yourself, and yet it is done when you are not thinking of yourself. Thinking of your gain simply is not a great enough purpose for you. Thinking of yourself predominantly defeats your purpose. The ultimate loving of yourself is entering the world as – shall I say – My exponent, My loyal Knight, caring for the world. To be yourself, you do have to think beyond yourself. If you are only for yourself, you stay on a deserted island off somewhere, nowhere, really."
A possibility for that sentence could be:
"In not being here for yourself, you do serve yourself. You serve yourself best when you are not thinking of yourself."
Yet it is not all that simple. I don't want to complicate it. Surely, in the original, it was my error that omitted the "it."
What we are trying to do here is to make the sentence more clear. But what if God wanted us to stumble with this? What if he wanted us to be stopped and ponder the sentence? To figure it out or not figure it out, but to have our attention on the idea that letting go of self-interest is in our self-interest and to sort of puzzle that out ourselves. It can be figured out, can't it?
There is a fine line we walk with Heavenletters. Sometimes a decision is easy for me to make, and sometimes it's just hard to know. And this time I just don't know what is best to do.
And yet, Theophil, you are waiting for an answer.
My inclination at this moment would be to let the sentence be as it is with the it added. How much time do we have to think about it, dear Theophil?
Then how about an "it"
Then how about an "it" instead of the "yet"?:
In not being here for yourself, you do serve yourself, and it is done when you are not thinking of yourself.
Thank you - it is a sparkling passage
I spent more than one hour with this wonderful paragraph. And I had written down some sentences meanwhile. Please, listen.
And, of course, God knows where and when we need to be stopped and which matters we are stumbling over are an eye-opener for us. Yes, we already know some of these sites in outlines, where it is good for us to stumble. Beginning to remember who we are does not mean that stumbling will stop as a consequence and will decrease instantly.
+ + + + +
My understanding is like this.
~ To the same degree as I am not here for myself, I do serve myself.
~ My serving myself is done, when I am not thinking of myself.
~ When I am still thinking of myself, my serving myself has its time of growing and evolving towards awareness of serving.
~ When I am fully here for God and in service of God, I do serve myself.
~ When I am fully here for myself and in service of myself, I do serve God.
~ When I am fully here for myself and in service of myself, my being here and my service of myself are done. Then We are here, We are here for God and Me, and Our Service is the same for Everybody and Anybody, for Us including.
~ Thinking of myself is not serving myself. Thinking of myself has dissolved, when I serve myself solely.
~ Being here on earth for more than myself is serving myself.
~ Being here on earth for God is serving myself and is serving God, in Our awareness of Our serving.
The ultimate serving myself and the ultimate loving of myself is "entering the world as God's exponent“. Loving of myself already happened - we might say in our terms of non-existent time. Loving of myself is given. Loving of myself is the underpinning of everything I am concerned with. Loving of myself is loading every stitch while weaving life. What else is being entrusted to my care but loving myself? Is there anything which is not entrusted to my care?
So much love flowed and flows from Me and God when We desired to enter this world.
Does this way of understanding call for any add-on in the text?
Theophil
Beloved Theophil, what you
Beloved Theophil, what you have written is beautiful. When this Heavenletter comes out, I hope you will include it as a comment. Yet not every Heavenreader comes to this forum, and so many Heavenreaders, alas, will not see it.

Blessings to all,
Love, Gloria
August 11, 2010 Gloria to
August 11, 2010
Gloria to God: Sometimes I am torn. Sometimes when something is unclear in a Heavenletter, I make a change without a backward glance. Yet, on the whole, when I think of changing a word of yours, I feel somewhat guilt-ridden. Do I need to be a better listener in the first place? Is it my preference that I make any change? I say I do it for the readers, but is it my ego interfering? Certainly, I don’t think I know better than You, God, yet I may have garbled what I heard. 99.999999 per cent of Heavenletters are just what I heard You say in the first place.
In the past, when I have tried to change something or take out a word or two or whatever, I can do it or I can’t. I have taken that as Your yes, or Your no. If I can do it, it’s okay with You. If I can’t do it, You are telling me to leave it as it is.
Today I am having quite a bit of difficulty regarding a yet unpublished Heavenletter. There has been a lot of discussion on the forum regarding this particular sentence. I do believe I had left out the word it in it. I have no qualms about adding it. We could leave out the it and use its antecedent to make it more clear. Probably there are thousands of ways to make the sentence more clear. I think I am thinking too much. Is this because this has gone public? Am I being too influenced?
God, in regard to this particular sentence, do You want it more clear? Do You want it less clear? It would seem that dedicated Heavenreaders and translators want it more clear.
God: You are making a big thing out of a little thing. You are not going to distort a Heavenletter if you tried. I am well aware that you mean to reflect Me accurately. Because of all the discussion, you are thinking too much. You wonder if I meant to make it puzzling for the reader. If I did, I think that has been accomplished with the Heavenreaders and translators, and it is enough.
Yes, of course, you work for Me. Of course, you are not taking a vote. You are not going with the majority or the minority. I am glad you do all you can do to be faithful to what you hear Me say. You do not need to think you are being persuaded. Nor are you to look for approbation. You have Mine, and that is all you need.
You are spending too much time on this. You don’t have the time to spend. Better your attention and energy are spent on more than a phrase. This is a detour. Better that devoted Heavenreaders also put their attention and energy on more than a phrase as well. With or without the phrase, with or without a sentence, I am giving gold.
Gloria: Thanks, God.

Okay, I'll send to Theophil who is responsible for setting up the published Heavenletter what I do. And then all can see it when this Heavenletter is published. Thanks for everything, guys. Much appreciated.

Well, that's lovely. The
Well, that's lovely.
The whole point from the beginning was to catch typos. Some (including myself) counseled to leave even the typos as they are.
But if we try to eliminate typos, there will be cases where something looks a little strange, and it is hard to see why. Could be a simple typo or omission; could be something better left alone. In many cases, Gloria, you knew immediately what the intended meaning was and how, with minimal changes, it was best conveyed.
It should be all right, if something is not easily understood, to ask. It should be all right, if there is an obvious solution, to choose it; or, if there is no obvious solution, to say: "I don't know" — and then simply to leave it as it is. I don't see any difficulty unless we want perfection.

Dear Gloria, I suspect the system will post this comment quite a distance away from the post it refers to. But this link will take you there immediately: http://www.heavenletters.org/typos-and-clarifications-part-4-16832.html#... .
Theophil is asking there about the meaning of "To think" in the sentence "To think, you were born from My heart, mind, and intention." It's the opening sentence of Heaven #3548, http://www.heavenletters.org/in-love-go-forth.html .
Theophil and I have tried to brainstorm about this "To think", but unsuccessfully. You explained in your response that "To think is a common way to say this." But to say what? Could you paraphrase that sentence for us, please?
I"m guessing that "To think"
I"m guessing that "To think" is a commonly accepted shortening of: "Just to think of it!"
"Just to think of it, we were born from God's heart..."
Or, "Imagine, we were born from God's heart..."
Or, "Joy of joy, we were born from God's heart..."
I believe the expression "To think" connotes a certain amazement, wonder, and joy.
"To think -- language has so many ways of expressing what we want to say..."
Or maybe "to think" can't really be explained!
Is there anything equivalent in German -- or in another language?
To think
This is wonderful, very clear, thank you!
Yes, when I get the feeling for it (through your many examples), there are German equivalents that come to mind. I'm sure Theophil will know what to write now.
Heaven #3551
Sixth paragraph from below:
When the Great Ones walked the Earth, and still do walk the Earth, saw the ill or the lame, they did not create an interim. They got right down to it. They healed.
Does the underlined passage need a who? The sentence would then read:
When the Great Ones who walked the Earth, and still do walk the Earth, saw the ill or the lame, they did not create an interim.

Beloved Jochen, in common
Beloved Jochen, in common speech, the way it is in the Heavenletter is how it would be. For example, if I said: "When Jochen emailed me, I wrote him back." It would not be a question of the Jochen who emailed me in contrast to a Jochen who did not.
This has something to do with our knowing who the Great Ones are. Just the same as I know who you are. We don't have to identify the Great Ones. If we did not understand who the Great Ones were, then we would need a relative clause to identify them.
If the sentence were about baseball players, we would need to add a clause: "When the great players who hit more than 100 home runs in their careers were swinging the bat, they..." We need the who to make clear to the reader what we mean by the great players.
I haven't thought of relative clauses in many years!
Ha ha, Señora, now I
Ha ha, Señora, now I understand even less. Which does not matter, of course.
I thought I needed a "who" to make sense of the "saw". If I take that sentence again: When the Great Ones walked the Earth, and still do walk the Earth, saw the ill or the lame, they did not create an interim and leave away , and still do walk the Earth, what's left should be a sentence that still works. But for me it does not work that way:
When the Great Ones walked the Earth saw the ill or the lame, they did not create an interim.
Well, let's just forget about it.

Is forgetten a correct form? Internet search yielded no clear results.
First sentence, second paragraph:
You have forgetten your purity.

No, dear, you caught a
No, dear, you caught a grievous error. Have you forgetten how to fix it?!!!! Will you please?! Thanks, Jochen!
Dear Heaven scribe,
please have a look at the post following this one. You said in your response that you would "put some attention on suspect". Will you?
Sorry, my mind just won't let go of things not yet settled.
Can't I get away with
Can't I get away with anything! Well, forced to it, I changed suspect to suspicious. Thanks, beloved Jochen.
Brav!
Brav!

Third paragraph from below, first sentence:
Nor is their need for you to be so suspect that another's ego is at play either.

There are two things in this sentence I'm having doubts about. The first is "their" which looks to me as if it should be "there". The second is "be so suspect" where it seems to me that the intended meaning is "suspicious." I may be wrong, of course, but here are two versions that would be clearer to me:
Beloved Jochen, once again,
Beloved Jochen, once again, typo. Absolutely, the their has to be there. And I was an English teacher! How did that slip past me. Will you kindly fix it right away?!!!!
Suspect is okay as it is. It does mean suspicious. It is used in this sentence as an adjective and not a noun. Now, just as I said that, the sentence as it is is suspect.
I am not able to find these lines in the Heavenletter link you give -- I'll try again.
Okay, I found the sentence. When I feel a little clearer, I'll put some attention on suspect. You're probably right there as well!

Good luck with this one in translations.
Should the sentence..."What else is there to do but laugh at all the intrigue that seems to go on on the face of Earth?" have a question mark ? Also I know sometimes I get "comma" happy, but, should we have a bit of a pause between "on, on"???
"In any case, you are here with some of your life behind you and some of your life ahead of you. Let’s make merry! Whatever streets you have gone down, amiss or straight on, let’s make merry. What else is there to do but laugh at all the intrigue that seems to go on on the face of Earth. Who could make up a story with a plot like the one you are in? How would it be told, and how would you tell it? You are acting out the story right now."
