Where All Your Light Is Revealed

God said:

Do you see how a tall tree grows? It is not copying another tree. It is not trying to be a tall tree. It is only being itself, layer by layer. It is like, as the tree grows, it exhales in total relaxation. There is no effort. The tree is not trying to attain, achieve, perform or anything at all except to just be the tree he is.

You see where I am going here. My children go through all sorts of somersaults trying to attain to something. Trees just attain their full growth without exertion. They are not running a race with other trees or even with themselves.

Now this is tricky because a tree doesn't have all the choices you have. You are meant to have full choice, and yet I ask you to not get out of breath. Be calm like a giant tree.

You have all the sap a tree has that makes it stand tall. Everything you are is built-in to you too. It is really not necessary for you to try so hard. You will attain without wearing yourself out.

Note all the ways you want to be. Own them to yourself. If, for instance, you want a Ph.D., you have to do the work. You have to want it a great deal to go through all that you have to go through. There are some matters in life that can be likened to running through the gauntlet. You don't have to put yourself through all of them. Choose those that matter the most to you and allow them to happen. Do not wear yourself out.

There is no upstream, beloveds, when it comes to your innate spirituality. As a matter of fact, there is nothing you have to do but follow your heart. You do not need to read every book on the subject. You do not have to go to every seminar. Your spirituality is not located in a book or in any teacher. I downloaded spirituality into you. It is all there. It is yours to access. Point to your heart.

Something outside you can light a spark, yet the spark is yours. You don't need all the matches in the world to light you up. You don't need to keep dashing hither and yon to find your path to Me. It is not out there, beloveds. It is in you. Point to your heart.

Have confidence that you know. Have confidence that you have all the ingredients necessary, and that they will appear in perfect synchronicity.

I know you deeply desire to be more of who you already are. I know you want your light to shine. I know, I know. I will blow My breath on your light, and your light will be lit. You may like to think it is lit from above. The actuality is that it is lit from within. From within you, beloveds. You are your own match. The light of love is your match.

It is so easy to tell yourself to love, and yet it is not so easy to do. Sometimes My children put themselves into the ravages of a storm, and sometimes again and again. Love yourself, and you will move where grace awaits you. You do not have to choose the storm. You don't have to put your finger on the hot stove even once more. You can choose what life offers. You do not have to avoid. It's just that you open other doors where all your light is revealed, and you see the light that is yours. Independent of anyone or anything else, you see it. It is yours to see.

Dear God, Interesting. After

Dear God,

Interesting. After the 1000s of self-help books I've read God, I see your point in this! What I need is already within me. You put it there. Thank you!

Love,

Our thoughts are powerful and creating our next precious moment

calm like a giant tree

"Love yourself, and you will move where grace awaits you".

Becoming who you always were!

It's a bit hard to write this because I'm moving to another state and will spend some time in a hospital to take care of elderly things. My heart is with Heaven Letters and I have such a devotion to Gloria, and all those who comment on the Heaven Letter site. I could say that it's sort of out of sight. There's much love in this good by of sorts; at least for a while.

George engulfed by change

Dear George, I hope there's

Dear George, I hope there's Internet access at that hospital! Your regular writings are integral to the Heaven community. One of the ones who lit my spark used to smile and say "Poi varagam!" This translates from Tamil to, "Go, but come back quickly!"

One Love

I second Santhan, George

I second Santhan, George, who expresses our hearts so very well.

I don't think I can bear it without you. However, I imagine that you will have all the nurses eating out of your hand and one will supply you with a laptop. Or she will send us updates on you from her computer and include a few of your wisecracks and sage advice.

Loving you from the bottom of my heart. Come back to us soon and make us happy.

Godspeed, George

George, we will miss you while you attend to the health matters that will take you a while from us. I will, and I know many others will be thinking about you and sending you God's healing energy from our hearts.

Hi George

George...If you like, stay in touch by email. And thank you for sharing so much of your loving heart with all of us. Love and blessings, Jim and Jimi. and of course, regardless of changes...your heart will continue to love and be connected to all of us!

No, no, no! George has to

No, no, no! George has to post so all of us receive his love firsthand. His love is for all of us who know him and all who do not know him as we do. George's love radiates out from this site all over the world. His love is so big it must be posted!

Beloved Jim and Jim, be cautious about posting your email address on a forum, for the spybots will see that you receive an extra amount of spam!

Loving you,

Gloria

A key to our vulnerability

Often, I feel like all the knowledge I could ever need has been given in previous Heavenletters. But, then, letters like this one offer even deeper insight and valuable re-emphasis.

I share Emilia’s love of the image of a magnificent tree, with its integrity, innocence and calm.

This letter points out, though, that our gift of freedom to choose from our many options creates vulnerability that a tree doesn’t face. For me, this vulnerability has led to past habits of self recrimination, self doubt and, at times, a poor self image.

Both Desertrose and Emilia point me towards solutions to this as described in this wonderful letter. Desertrose emphasizes the need to look within and not outward toward things like self help books. Emilia emphasizes the key to the origin of my problems: “Love yourself, and you will move where grace awaits you.” I speak for myself, but I suspect I speak for others, also. I would like to relax more and not struggle so hard. “Following your heart should be easy.” I would like feel my worth and goodness more deeply, as in: ”Love yourself.”

I do have total faith in the future: “…you will move where grace awaits you.” I do accept that to see the light that is mine, I must more completely love, accept, be confident in, and be thankful for who I am. Thanks, everyone…..Chuck

Where all your light is revealed

DEAR MAESTRO, I LIKE TO KNOW THAT THE SPARK IS ALWAYS THERE WITHIN
ME. I DON'T NEED ALL THE MATCHES IN THE WORLD TO LIKE UP MY SPIRIT.

YESTERDAY, I BECAME VERY QUIET IN THE A.M. MEDITATING IN SILENCE
FOR AN HOUR, FEELING LOVE AND PEACE IN MY HEART. I FELT VERY CALM AND WHOLE.

THEN I GOT AN EMAIL. AND ALL MY CALM FLEW OUT THE
WINDOW. TODAY I NEED YOU TO BLOW YOUR BREATH ON MY HEART FOR IT
TO LIGHT UP WITH PEACE AGAIN. I AM OPEN TO FEEL THAT!!! VERY MUCH.

I AM DETERMINED TO SEE WHAT THE EMAIL SAID DIFFERENTLY. IF I CAN'T DO THAT I CAN SAY, "OK, MAESTRO, I CAN'T HANDLE THIS, TAKE ALL OF IT. I JUST
FLY OFF THE HANDLE AND THAT'S A USELESS PIECE OF STUPIDITY."

IT'S YOURS!

THANK YOU FOR BREATHING ON MY HEART TODAY. I LOVE YOU MARYANN
