Wake Up, Sleepyhead

Heavenletter #3056 Published on: April 7, 2009
God said:

Already you have experienced that what once seemed of the utmost importance to you turns out not to be important at all. Once perhaps your life depended upon the love of a certain other for you, and now the importance of love from that person has faded. Now you may even wonder what made you feel the way you did. You shrug your shoulders. The importance you attributed was dependent upon one illusion or another, the main illusion, perhaps, that you were in need. You were not in need. It certainly seemed so, yet it came down to your need of illusion. It is like you hypnotized yourself into believing something that wasn't so, and yet you believed it with all your heart.

All the myriad of matters that are essential to you now will also fade. All the concerns, even the terrors, become as if nothing at all. You don't have to leave this plane in order to come to this realization. No matter how much drama you enter into and seem to believe, you already know this. This and that are not lasting. And you in human form are not lasting either. It is all a dream. When you are in the dream, however, you are in it.

Just as with a dream you dream in sleep, as the dream reveals itself, it certainly seems that it is happening. It happens at night right before your closed eyes.

Sooner or later, you wake up from your dream, and you are relieved that it is only a dream, or the dream was so beautiful and engaging, that you are sorry to wake up from it.

All of relative life is a dream you are having, beloveds. The dream may last a hundred years. It has all the details it has. Your dream has havoc and consternation, and your dream has revelations of beauty and freedom, and none of it really happened. It was all REM in what you thought was a wakeful state, yet it was all a dream while you were sleeping.

What is called real life on Earth is not real life at all. It has the semblance of real life, yet it exists only on the level of thought.

All that is really real is a state of love that exists always and yet is often overlooked. Object-based love is an overlay of love, yet love requires no object. Love alone is. Love may be occluded from your view, yet love remains. When all is said and done, all that exists, all that remains is love, and you carry love with you always. No matter how disguised your love may be, love weathers all storms. Love is never vanquished. What could vanquish love?

I AM Love, and nothing can undo Me. Nothing can. The only survivor of all the dreams is love. Love is above all. There is nothing that even comes close to love.

Love is the Reality, and nothing else is. Love is not a dream. Love is the only true you have. Love surpasses years. It knows not of time. Love surpasses accomplishments. Love knows not of accomplishments. It surpasses the mass dream of death. Despite what is imagined in the world, love comes through. Love surmounts all the everything else that ever seemed to be.

Love survives life, and love survives death. Love makes it clear that there is no death. The concept of death may be the biggest fraud of all. What is not true and not possible is a fake. Everyone seems to have worshipped the Dream of Death which is, after all, only hype. Not even the greatest illusion in the world can pass for Truth. Let go of the concept of death, beloveds. Be duped no longer. Wake up, sleepyhead.

right before your closed eyes

On April 7th, 2009 Jochen (not verified) says:

If this was composed by a human mind, I would not know how to stop admiring, applauding, adoring the brilliance of this mind. It feels a little silly to applaud God, but I can't help saying: "Well done, God!" If what I imagine I'm witnessing right now – bees checking the old pear tree outside my window for early blossoms that are about to open, a neighbor fixing the outside light of his house, sunshine, traffic sounds in the distance, the taste of coffee lingering, fingers on keys, enthusiasm about this Heavenletter – is happening right before my closed eyes, ears etc., then what might it be like to have my eyes open? If this is still dream, and something inside knows it is, what will waking up be like? And what can make me wake up? Could You not try to pinch me? You say You are pinching me all the time but I seem to be integrating Your gentle pinching into my dream, interpreting it as part of my dream. I don't know the way out of this Catch-22. Seeing it as that is dream. Thinking of ways to wake up is dream. Object-based love is dream. In this dream state, can my wanting and desiring, even my longing to know You, be anything but dream? Okay, okay, I'll stop here, it's no use. Waking up will happen. It probably is happenung already in very subtle increments, not quite like waking up from a night dream.

CCMMENTS ON WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD

So if this physical life is a dream.. why are we dreaming? how can we access this 'state' of love..? I don't believe personally in being a slave to any particular belief system..
I consider I am awake..certainly not an enlightened being..otherwise I would not be asking how to access this love state permanently...! good posting..thanks jane

Hi Jane, I think if you were

On April 7th, 2009 Kirt says:

Hi Jane,

I think if you were truly awake, all you would see and experience is this 'state' of love. In A Course in Miracles it is said that we are currently at home with God merely dreaming of living in exile. If you're a fan of the movie The Matrix, I equate it to being 'jacked' into the matrix - minus the machine world's need of humans for energy. In an attempt to answer your question as to why we are dreaming, from the perspective of ACIM, the Sonship, a.k.a. the Son of God, a.k.a. us, mistakenly believe we trumped God's power by causing The Separation, and fear His retaliation on an deeply unconscious level. To cope, we created another mistaken belief called the ego that acts as a mask to keep us "safe" from god's wrath, yet is the very foundation of all our seeming distresses. Of course, none of it is True, but beliefs are a powerful force to overcome. To change this belief, the ego needs to be undone through 'miracles' in the form of shifts-of-perception. How long until we undo the ego? Consider this powerful claim from Lesson 97 in the Workbook: Each time you practice, awareness is brought a little nearer at least; sometimes a thousand years or more are saved. Over the years, Heavenletters alone have contributed to so many shifts-of-perception in myself that it's my hope I've shaved off TONS of time set aside for my learning. At the very least, both teachings have brought much comfort to my mind. :)

Blessings,
Kirt

I think it depends on one's understanding of being awake..I did say I was not an enlightened being..being awake does not mean we still do not have 'inner' work to do on ourselves..goodness me I am pretty sure the human ego is alive and well in most people..I actually do not believe that awake people walk around in a state of love...daily life is quite challenging for most...maybe some people can be in this state more than others..but I think a relative few are there all the time..

I think its wonderful that there are so many teachings available and different ways to access this love...but until we have cleared out our own inner programms.. which inevitable seem to be of a negative nature, then its harder to access this love state..too many people describe this state --but there is no one road to Rome...many ways..and so it should be..its wonderful to have choices..

Being awake ...to me, does not mean I have all the answers..goodness me I have a long way to go and much work to do on myself..but I know by the people that I try to help that I am way more awake than them ..and that is a privilege hard earned I might say, by much suffering , and therefore If I can support s omeone else who is less fortunate in their level awareness then that is the best I can do..and not judge either..

thanks
jane

Hi Jane,Yeah, we're

On April 8th, 2009 Kirt says:

Hi Jane,

Yeah, we're interpreting being awake differently. I see Jesus and maybe only a hand full of others truly awake at this point in time. Awake at Home with God with nothing but Love in their hearts in every moment. No ego issues whatsoever. I also believe that there is only one road to Rome which is the complete relinquishment of the ego, or "inner programms", but wholeheartedly agree with you that there are many, many paths leading to that road. In fact, it is said that all paths eventually lead Home.

I read an article the other day that discussed how scientists were putting the age of the physical universe at 14-20 billion years old. If the universe was created at the time of the seeming separation, then what is mind boggling is that we've dreamt we were living in some form or another since then! Granted in relation to the concept of eternity, 14-20 billion years may seem like a fleeting moment, but to the human mind it's almost incomprehensible to fathom. If this is so, one has to wonder how many more years will pass before we're fully awake from the illusion of separation and at Home with God. Millions? Billions? It hurts my head to think about that. :)

Hi Kirt

thanks for your reply..Jane

Love survives life, and love

On April 7th, 2009 Johanne says:

Love survives life, and love survives death. Love makes it clear that there is no death.

It is so easy for me to relate to this HL because I know as a FACT that I would not exist at all were it not for this TRUTH! I've had a strange journey thru all of my life, it has been a pathway leading me to HIM all the time but I was unaware (dreaming). No matter where I am now His LOVE lights my way and I am waking up to His eternal peace!

Glory and Honor to GOD,
Johanne xx

On April 7th, 2009 pitta says:

Well, I know, I know, I had already speak about my entusiasm for quantum phisics. It's only because we have scientifically already find out God; the quantum phisics discovered that material doesn't exist like we perceive it, that in the heart of electrons beats an energy that they don't know (but we know!) that creates magnetism; that there isn't any difference between a tree and the air around it and our body...only a different aggregation state of molecules.
I think the dream is belive there are much differences.

Quantum physics

On April 7th, 2009 Chuck Gebh... says:

It is interesting, pitta, hon, that you mention quantum physics in regards to this Heavenletter. We share a love for quantum physics. It was through physics that I embarked on the path that ultimately led me to Heavenletters and to being open to the messages they contain.....joy and peace......Chuck

Dear Gloria what a beautiful

On April 7th, 2009 Sarita Premley (not verified) says:

Dear Gloria

what a beautiful heavenletter... mmmmmmm!

I wondered if there was a typo in this sentence?

"Love is the only true you have."

It's in the second last paragraph.

in love and gratitude,

Sarita

That's a good question,

On April 8th, 2009 Gloria Wen... says:

That's a good question, Sarita! We have a long list of typos that Heavenreaders have kindly helped us to fix.

This is one I'm not positive about. When the sentence is taken by itself, it sure looks like a typo. I sure thought so when I read your post. It is certainly awkward. Yet when the whole paragraph is looked at, maybe we can get away with it.

"Love is the Reality, and nothing else is. Love is not a dream. Love is the only true you have. Love surpasses years. It knows not of time. Love surpasses accomplishments. Love knows not of accomplishments. It surpasses the mass dream of death. Despite what is imagined in the world, love comes through. Love surmounts all the everything else that ever seemed to be."

As I keep looking at it, I wonder if it might have been clearer if it had said "the only true there is" instead of "the only true you have."

Please be assured that there are many clear-cut typos. There is absolutely no doubt but that it's a typo of mine. This one I'm just not sure about. And that happens, and it does indeed happen, my tendency is to leave it alone.

What does everybody else think?

An opinion

On April 8th, 2009 Chuck Gebh... says:

I favor leaving the quote as is, It feels correct to me. Using the word true, here, seems to be an elegant, metaphoric use if read a certain way. And changing to "there is" instead of you "you have" is less personal.

I agree with Sarita, a truly beautiful and powerful Heavenletter.........Chuck

God always says to us that

On April 8th, 2009 pitta says:

God always says to us that we are like He is, we are divine being. We can read about that in different litterature, always the same.
So, if Love is the only true, and God is Love, we are love, so we can arrange like this: "The only true you have is YOU". And it sounds correct. There is no difference between the both, only a little gradation.

Beloved Sarita, Chuck, and

On April 8th, 2009 Gloria Wen... says:

Beloved Sarita, Chuck, and Pitta,

Thank you so much for your feedback.

What is that old expression? "When in doubt, don't."

It could even be that God deliberately made that sentence awkward because He wanted us to pay special attention to it.

When there is a clear-cut typo, a word left out, a word repeated, totally a misspelling etc., once pointed out to me, I can change it without batting an eye.

Then there are others, even though I can see the merit, I cannot change it. It is like I am not allowed to. Or I may even change it and immediately have to put it back the way it was!

Loving you,

Gloria

Dearest all mine, this

On April 9th, 2009 pitta says:

Dearest all mine,
this morning I read an excellent thing. I don't remember the author, but hear: "When you fall in doubt say "No two". Repeat "no two".
I remember it was an ancient wrote.
It isn't fantastic?
Try, belive me, try and repeat it. The doubt fly away and you find yourself balanced again.
Without doubt, Gloria, dear, the words you wrote, well, it is impossible don't feel His voice. It's fantastic like this your work.

Love love
