What a Diversion the World Is

God said:

How beautiful is the world I made for you. The world was made for you. I prepared it for you. I contemplated the moon and the sun and the stars and made them elegant. I made the sun yellow to reflect My light. I made the sky blue and the seas blue for serenity. I made grass green and soft to lie on. You came to Me in a dream. Being One, We dreamed each other. We dreamed of Truth and, therefore, it was no dream, for Truth was and is Our essence, and love Our reality.

We look into each other’s eyes which is to say We look into a mirror. We reflect off each other even though there is no other. Eyes see inward and outward even though in and out are illusions. There is no near and no far. There is nothing between Us unless you call love between Us. But love is Our Oneness so there is no in between.

I love Myself which is to say I love the illusion of you.

Time and space do not exist so how can separation?

If I am One, how can you be apart from Oneness? There is nothing for you to be but Oneness. One is as far as I can count.

There was nothing to create but in imagination. So I imagined you, or you imagined yourself. I made up players to keep Me company. In other words, I had a thought, and My thoughts materialized in a haze. I had a thought of you. I thought of you. I think of you still.

You discover that you are Myself thinking of you (Myself). You do not exist separate from Me, which is to say, you do not exist. The train of thought you have gone off on seems like existence but you are an embodiment of that which is eternal love and cannot be embodied. You represent Me in this circular motion. You are My representative on Earth, even though there is no Earth. It certainly seems that there is Earth, for We walk on it, but We walk off into the Sunset or the Sunrise of which there is no difference, for We are beyond, and the sun neither sets nor rises except in this illusion We have temporarily agreed upon. We think it is Our playing field but it is merely a rumble of thought, a heartbeat of Oneness playing at something else.

There is nothing to talk about. It is all thought. It is an electrical current. Light dashes around and calls itself something else. We imagine particles. We study them with our eye to a microscope or a telescope. We study sections of Oneness to find Oneness sectionless.

What a diversion the world is. Oneness composes itself. One thought becomes many. Thought appears on a screen, and it goes off the screen. The screen is imaginary too so what was there for thought to go off of? Thought went on a tear. It went on tangents of itself, and yet there is only One Thought. So I thought of Myself in many ways in order to come back to Oneness from which I never departed, from which We can’t. I say We out of courtesy to you. I pretend for a moment, just like you, that We are each other when only Oneness exists.

I am not yours, and you are not Mine. I am Myself. And you are Myself. You who are on a stroll plague yourself with thoughts of an existence that is not but yet believed in with great might. Return to the joy of Oneness from which you have never left except in a flight of fancy from which you can only return, particularly since you never left.

What does this leave to think about, to speak about? I don't know. If I take these words seriously, which I do, it's a miracle that I go on thinking and speaking. Quite a feat. Even the question, "How can I return to the joy of Oneness" starts sounding so delightfully absurd when the joy of Oneness is all there is. And on top of that, we don't even know whose error the perceived loss of Oneness is. Consider this from Heaven #293, An Awareness So Brilliant:

What if everything out there and in there is Myself? What if it is I Who plays all the parts, but I became so enamored of one part or another, that I began to think the part was who I was? What if I bought into My own performance?
Can that be? Can you be MySelf in other garb and all else you have thought but fantasy?
If this be the case, what would it mean, and what would it mean to you?
It is mind-boggling, isn't it?

What a hilarious confusion! But how come I imagine I don't know the joy of Oneness? The answer the next Heavenletter seems to give is: Ego. Which gives rise to the next absurd question: What to do with ego?

Wow, Jochen! You sure do

Wow, Jochen! You sure do know how to choose knock-out quotations from God. Each one of these above kinda hit me between the eyes.

I have an idea. It just popped into my head.

For years, Bernie Siegel has suggested that we have a book of 365 quotes from Heavenletters. I forget what such books are called, but they are very simple and straightforward.

You have an incredible knack for picking out quotes that stand on their own. The quotes you choose do very well out of the whole context of the Heavenletters they came from.

Are you interested in compiling 365 quotes? These you have posted here follow each other beautifully.

Is such a book something you would like to compile?

What I think is that this is an easy type book to get published. Such a book would really bring more readers to the Heavenletters themselves. Then it would be even easier to get a book of Heavenletters published. And there could be another calendar book of Heavenletters the next year too.

And then it would be easier to have the book translated into as many languages as we have translators.

Is this something you are interested in doing -- you already have given us many selected quotes -- and do you have time for this? (Are you translating that other book you mentioned, by the way?)

What do you feel? And what do others feel? Anyone who wanted could post some of their favorite quotations for Heavenletters.

Actually, it's possible that we have 365 or almost 365 choice quotes already posted on this forum! It would really be a book that Heavenreaders have done themselves. And you would be editor, Jochen?

Love and blessings,

Gloria

P.S. And You Came to Me in a Dream sounds like an intriguing title!

Such a compilation of

Such a compilation of Heavenletter quotations will be of service to many. I can feel it. I'm already getting visions of the cover!

Daily Quotation Book

Dear Gloria, I have to say that I don't feel like taking this job as something I'm in charge of. It is not what I fancy doing at present, apart from the fact that I will be working much more than full-time the next several months.

But I have thought about it and here is some of what went through my mind:

Daily quotation books are bought by people who either know all about the subject matter or the author and like to have daily reminders; or who have only some vague information and would like to buy something that allows them easy access to whatever the book is about. Many, especially of those in the second category, may not like "knock-out quotations", they may not want (or need) to be "hit between the eyes". It's the same on this forum. The knock-out things may be received as inspiring, encouraging and uplifting by some of us whereas others respond much better to gentle and reassuring words. Or perhaps we all need both kinds of quotations at different times. So, for compiling such a book (or more than one), it will be necessary that several people of different inner makeup contribute their favorite Heavenletter quotes. How about creating a topic "My Favorite Quotation(s)" and see what happens.

Beloved Jochen, thank you

Beloved Jochen, thank you for your consideration and for being honest in your response. You set a great example. Let me take this opportunity to express to you my appreciation, Jochen, for you all you have been doing for this forum and the blog right along.

I wonder if there is someone who would like to compile the great quotations we already have posted on this forum? We may have almost all the quotations we need for the first calendar book.

On many Heavenletters, many posters just naturally select sentences that stand out for them. I like that it happens naturally. Having no motive but to share how a few lines from a Heavenletter have affected us most likely gives us the greatest quotations. Certainly, anyone who feels moved to hunt for and send in their favorite quotations, that's very welcome as well.

There are also years of Heaven News that have Heavenletter quotations. Often quotations in Heaven News were also submitted by Heavenreaders.

For those who would like to join in to compile a book of quotations, I think we would just pull all selected quotations we already have and put them in a pile. Then we could go through and pick out those that seem most likely to be meaningful to any reader. Then there are other decisions to make which we could talk about later.

I understand very well that readers of Heavenletters as well as those who do not read Heavenletters are all equally in God's hands of love. At the same time, I do feel a responsibility. I believe that God wants me to get Heavenletters out there as fast as possible to as many people as possible, and I am compelled to do whatever I can. I also know that many Heavenreaders are doing this too.

Someone who just subscribed to Heavenletters today ordered ten Heaven books. He did not just find Heavenletters today, however. For years, a married couple have been sending him their choice Heavenletters, so he was already familiar with Heavenletters. I am making the point that we don't know how many people are reading Heavenletters that we don't know about. Incidentally, the couple who sent Heavenletters to the man who ordered all the books are subscribers that have never once posted or introduced themselves in any way except for subscribing. How many more like them are there that we don't know about?

A calendar book is one more way to bring Heavenletters to the attention of more people.

I would love to go through comments on the forum and find these choice quotations. This is just the sort of thing I love to do. I also have more to do than one person can do. If there are self-motivated Heavenreaders who would like to take this project over and who can fit it into their already full schedules, please let me know who you are, on this forum, please, and then you can run with it.

You know, in life, most people appoint themselves!

God bless you.

With love,

Gloria
