Your Very Self

God said:

What you want of Me is what you want of yourself. What did I just say? What did I mean? I mean for you to be self-sufficient. All answers are within you. If the Kingdom of God is within, it is within. The worshipper and the worshipped are the same. That which you seek is within you. You are your own answers to your prayers. You are the solver and the solution. Find Me within you then. There is a tendency to think power lies outside you.
 
Greater than the individual you is the glory and power that shines in the hearts of all. Yes, I say all. Not just a chosen few.
 
Let’s look at it this way. All are chosen. I chose, and you chose. We could call it a team effort, yet it was no effort at all.
 
What do you think it means when I say We are One, and there is no We, there is only I and the Oneness of I AM? Who is talking, and Who is listening? Who is speaking, and Who is hearing? Who is writing, and Who is written? If I exist within one human being, I exist within all. The many is a fractured picture of One. Optical illusion, shall We say? Here is that word We again. Well, it is better than the words you and I as though separation were real.
 
Can there be Oneness and multitudes? I suppose there can be that concept, and you do have that concept. The all that you see is a pictograph of Oneness. A clear photo isn’t taken. It has so many pixels when only Oneness is. Another name for Oneness is Wholeness, only, in Truth, there are no separate parts to make whole. Wholeness is the same as Oneness. One and One and One and One add up to One.
 
Why is this important to realize? Because this is Our One Self I speak of. I speak to Whom? Why, to Myself, of course. My Self is none other than that which you refer to as your Self. This Self is not a selfish self nor is it propelled by ego. Ego does not flourish in Oneness. Naturally Oneness leaves the imagined ego behind. Ego cannot preside in Oneness. Ego is done in in Oneness. Ego stays out. It has no choice. Just as a hippopotamus cannot fit through a door, nor can ego enter the portal of Oneness. Ego wears a big hat and cannot walk in, sneak in, or even exist in Oneness. If ego tried to sneak in, ego would be neutralized. So say I.
 
When you hear Me, when you read between the lines, you and I are consistently the One that ever was. And, yet, despite your disavowal of life on Earth, you love it. You can grumble and shout, and yet you like it so much that you dwell in it, not only physically, but in every other way. You certainly think about world life a lot. You are immersed in it, as if world life is all there is.
 
The Earth is your dance floor. Let’s face it, you love the multiplicity of life. Where else is there so much to wonder at and be amazed at? Nevertheless, life on Earth is not the extent of your existence, My existence.
 
I am going to tell you that, despite all your complaints and shenanigans, there is more to life than what “Now you see and now you don’t.” There is a Presence, and that Presence is within you. The Presence is the Vastness of Oneness Itself. You are never without the God within the so-called you Who art your very Self, and, therefore, Mine.

What words do I really need

What words do I really need to hear before my heart can rest? As I hear words that are a blessing to me, it does influence me in a wonderful way. When words are imbued with a mystic quality, there is a sense that these words come from beyond not just me, but beyond all of us. While recognition occurs within, if this recognition causes me to place the source further away, have I just distanced myself a little bit?

When we say a message is truly from God, is this any different than saying it comes from the depth of everyone's heart? Words that touch us all are not more external, they are more internal. They are even more common to us all and teach us that the heart in me is the same heart that is in you.

As we externalize God by placing God above us, we distance ourselves. When people speak of God, they often end up pointing different directions, and they distance themselves from each other. When I write, I could say that God is writing. I do not mean to say that something external is writing. It is just me writing. The ordinary one. And it is just the ordinary you reading. Sometimes we do not value the ordinary thing, because it's so familiar to us. Sometimes we reject what is common in search of something less familiar. But perhaps what we are really seeking is the most familiar thing of all.

The ordinary me and the ordinary you

What you say, here, Aaron, adds to this Heavenletter. These are all wonderfully helpful insights to me. Your comments lead me to think: What is it that is the common ground between the words you write and my recognition of them? Is it God within you that inspires you to write and is it also God within me that recognizes the value of what is written? And is it God within Gloria and her team that motivates them to facilitate the whole process? Is it just one process we naturally see as independent parts?

My thanks to Gloria and the Heavenletters team. My thanks to you, Aaron, and all those who take time to comment

Peace and love to all,

Chuck.

I notice a question that

I notice a question that arises within me is, "who am I to add anything?" If my words express something in a way that someone finds useful, then who am I not to? Many people have spoken words that have a profound influence on my life, and I am deeply grateful for this. It is more than I could ever ask ,but at the same time it is precisely what I need. As I realize that precisely what I need is being brought to me from every direction that I allow it, I discover I am surrounded by beautiful messages of light coming from every person and every circumstance. The world I thought I knew blossoms beautifully in every way imaginable. There is no direction I can look in that is incapable of blossoming.

Yes, this is I think

Yes, this is I think something very important, what is addressed here. Does it makes sense to share my view with someone else? Has it to do with God? If it has to do with love, then it has with God to do, I think. If it has to do with my inner enthusiasm, then it has with God to do, I think. But it is also important that I am open and attentive for a passion and a love that is foreign to me. If this is possible in the dialog and it increases mutual understanding, then both parties do win a broader perspective, new views are born, blossoming can arise.
