Thank you very much!

This letter takes me to new places uncharted on my usual maps. “Oneness” is a concept that my heart knows is true, but my mind still butts in with a loud: “Yes, but!” While I know it is real, Oneness still feels vague, elusive and ephemeral.

Here, my understanding is moved along nicely and I love the sensation. “What would life be like if there were no time?” This question causes me to look back on various points in my life like when I was five years old and my older brother opened the door of our car and fell out while we were driving down a Kentucky back-road during a snowstorm. Luckily he wasn’t badly hurt, but I remember walking around looking in the snow for the shoe he lost in the accident and singing “Little boy blue, lost his shoe.” It was a vivid recollection and it lets me distinctly recall how I viewed life as a five year old.

Of course, we all have many recollections like this of points in the past. While I am aware of how I experienced each of them quite differently than who I am now, I still see them as being part of “me.” I have little difficulty in following the logic of “there is no time” as pertains to my own life and feeling all these different people are all still “me” even though I am clearly different in this point of time.

Where things get a lot trickier for me is when I consider the question: “What would life be like if you had no physical body?” In line with my previous reasoning, in which I easily conceived of my many previous “selves” when there is no time, I then consider simultaneously being all of the more than six billion people on earth at this current point of now. If there is no distance to separate me from these currently co-existing selves just like there is no time to separate me from my previous, personal selves, all these “other” people must also be “me.”

George is fond of calling these kinds of quandaries being like going down Alice’s rabbit hole. I wonder what he has to say about it. This sure is a wonderful letter.

Much love to all,

Chuck

Evidence is a funny word. To get e-vidence, you have to "look out of." Looking out of your body, you get evidence of time. Believing in time and looking out of that belief, you get evidence of a body. Two illusions producing evidence of each other. The Hall of Mirrors.

Even though you don’t recall getting on the train, you will get off and enter the True World.

"No time" is not a metaphor, time is literally nonexistent, past has not happened. It only appears to have happened in the stories that are told and the photos that are shown. That momentous moment of falling from the tree and breaking my skull never happened, it only sort of happens in what appears to be my recollection. "But feel the scars!" Yes, I didn't say the story is not convincing. It is. And yet it is just a story with no reality to back it.

That's chilling. Let me have it more homey. Let me have real pasta, real money, a real body with first-rate DNA. And that most intimate moment of cheeks wet with tears resting against each other, please, let it be real.

Even though you don’t recall getting on the train, you will get off and enter the True World. How familiar it is to you. See, you have not forgotten.

The Dream and the Truth, together and one, is the ultimate adventure.

The wild rhythm of rolling
cliickety vroom
sitting in my train .......
watching colours whizzin and swishing
while moving in stillness
fusing into oneness
I am now here.

In reading the second part of this Heavenletter, starting with "What would life be like if there were no time?", I have the impression of reading a text book on quantum physics which I would entitle: “The physics of human particles”. If you can locate in a space-time continuum a human particle, you cannot calculate its speed. If you can calculate its speed, you cannot know where it is located in the space-time continuum. Did God shake hand with quantum physicists?

God likes to shake our linear logic. Yet He advises us against asking questions. So what is left to us is to figure out what He intends to mean.

If I don’t ask God questions, I will have to try to translate His message, whether it makes sense or not. No questions are involved…

“The very senses that root you in the world at the same time call you to Me.” I interpret that utterance this way: the very senses that root you in the world are illusions unless you look beyond them to discover that they all have there source in the Creative Mind. So they are only effects of a Creative Mind, hence take a careful look at their Creator.

“What would life be like if there were no time? What would life be like if you had no physical body?” Those two questions are inextricably linked.

The second question is easier to start with. What would life be like if you had no physical body? I would answer, without really believing in what I say, “I would do nothing”. Why? Because to ‘DO’ involves the body. When you recognize that you need do nothing (which is very hard for me), you will withdraw the body’s value from your mind. Then, the first question gets automatically its answer: When you need do nothing you have no need for time. For you to do nothing is for you to rest and to make a place within your mind where the activity of the body ceases to demand your attention. Then, “theoretically”, God can come into, and abide in this place of rest within you.

Oh wow! Can it be possible? I can understand intellectually that Mind is One. But I understand also that bodies are not One. Without a body, you wouldn’t have the concept of space and time. So it is only by assigning the body’s properties to your mind that a split mind seems possible to you. So it is your mind that seems fragmented and private and isolated, not your body.

“Even as you live on Earth in a physical body surrounded by evidence of time, you can also have awareness of no time and no human body, and you can be immersed in the sunshine of Oneness and life with Me.” For me, the meaning of this statement is that the idea that the body contains the mind is an illusion. Yet it is the impression you have: the body SEEMS to surround you, shutting you off from the rest of your mind, and keeping you apart from it and it from you. The body was an instrument of separation but in reality the body is outside of your Reality. You can only be separated from your Oneness with God in illusions. The body is not your reality, though you believe that it is.

So I have to admit that I am not surrounded by my body but by God. I am surrounded by God’s mind which I share.

“Simultaneity is the word for today”. So how can I apply this law “today”? How can I live time and no-time, space and no-space, where and nowhere simultaneously? Well, I would have to realize that there is no instant in which the body exists at all. In fact, you always remember your body or anticipate it, but you never experience it NOW. Only the personal self’s seeming past and projected future make the body seam real to you. Time control your perception of the body entirely, because your perception of separation from God is, in fact, never wholly in the present.

I think that is what the Great Ones realized. They have accepted reality in place of the body, and they have let themselves be one with something beyond the body simply by not letting their mind be limited to a body. It is not the negation of the body. It is an escape from the body. You don’t reject the body. You just perceive it properly. It does not limit you because you don’t want it to.

Understanding God’s law of simultaneity is accepting correction of your perception that you are separate from God.

Anyway “You don’t stand a chance of not answering My whistle.”
