SMILING WITH HOPE

Beloved,

Politics is giving all of us an opportunity to look at things differently than we ever have before. Or as Eckhart Tolle says so eloquently, it takes us out of our comfort zone.  When we leave our safety net is when we start to take action that corresponds with our beliefs. This video from Eckhart gives us a few chuckles but also an opportunity to look at ourselves.

I was so impressed with the love that this man has for humanity, especially children.  I admit I could not do what he does; I would be a basket case.  The fact that he is a Libyan-born Muslim immigrant is not the point here. The point is that he is an immigrant who has given and continues to give to children regardless of their country of origin, their sex, or their parents’ monetary status or, for that matter, their illness. He gives the title “immigrant” a new meaning. Where would we be without immigrants? In a sense, we are all immigrants as we have all come from different countries with different cultures and skills. There are so many more “special” immigrants than the one rotten apple who attempts to spoil the rest of the batch.  Let us not allow that to be the case.

The news of this discovery makes my heart sing.  Just imagine the joy that this invention will bring to the “lost ones” and to their families.  HOPE is the word here and our world needs to know about it so this tool can be used.

How easy is it for you to contemplate your inner child?  This article will give you the freedom to BE your little child and will give you assurance that All Is Well.  I cannot remember when I learned to walk but I have watched my children learn to walk so this exercise brings me comfort today.

This will bring a smile to your face.  Oh, to be young again and brave enough to do something that you are not sure will work.

Here is a message from God trying to explain to you about your purpose here on Earth. Will you listen or at least think about it?

QUESTIONING THE RESULTS OF YOUR DECISIONS

Beloved,

I have been sitting here at the computer most of the day. I have
been listening to replays of teleconferences that usually inspire or
make me feel a whole lot better. I have been struggling with what
to write to you in this newsletter because I like to send you items
or news that lift your heart after giving you a little food for
thought.

Today has been such that I did not wish to speak to anyone, call
anyone, or have any interaction with anyone. Did I like it? No!!!
It is like I am frozen and it is such an effort to talk. I do not
wish to even think or consider anything at all. It is too much of
an effort. I feel like a bump on a log that does nothing but stay
still. This is a very unusual mood for me. I even went back to bed
and slept for two more hours this morning.

I had quite an awakening or should I say an AHA moment of a pattern
that I suddenly realize I have been dealing with my whole life. It
concerns loved ones who have lied to me but their excuse is: “I didn’t
lie, I just didn’t tell you the whole truth”. I have made decisions
based on the information which did not turn out the way I had hoped.
Of course, I wouldn’t be who I am now if I had not experienced the
disappointments and results of those lies. In my soul, I know that
I agreed to these before I was born YET it does not make them any
easier to bear.

I believe that I went on a journey deep inside myself today to
rationally and lovingly forgive everyone and also to forgive myself
for allowing these betrayals. I am much harder on myself than I am
on those I love, why is that? Do I not deserve to give myself as
much love as I give to others? Of course, I do but I seem to need
reminders every now and then. Sometimes I wonder if I have been
alone these past 23 years because I have not had the courage to
trust again. And yet…..we give our trust to many every day of
our life. From the safety of the food we eat to the other drivers
ion the road.

As you can see, I am very pensive and my thoughts are very deep.
I am going to add a “Heavenletter” to this newsletter which might
explain what I am trying to say through my fog today. These are the
times of deep reflection and everything that has not been released
is being brought to the surface for the final release.

God is always bringing us closer to Him.

Heavenletter #4565 A New Picture, May 25, 2013

God said:
There is a theory that everything that is written, that everything
that happens was destined to happen. Sometimes it certainly seems
this way. Not always, but sometimes, sometimes often, it appears
that two people, for instance, were fated to meet and marry,
whether the marriage works out or not. We have talked about this
before, Destiny vs. Free Will. Perhaps Free Will is your
Destiny, or Destiny is your Free Will.

Be that as it may, there is some value in thinking that what is past
was destined. Whether what happened is to your credit or to your dismay,
there is value in thinking that it was destined. Thinking that it was
destined will save you a lot of woe. Thinking that all the past was
destined makes you face the fact, without discussion, that there is
nothing you can do about it now. The concept of Destiny may keep you
out of the trap of ruing, regretting, crying about the past. The
idea of Destiny may get it through your head that there is no point
in crying over spilt milk. There is not a better way to say this
than crying over spilled milk?

How much of your time on Earth have you spent in regret and trying to
relive and remake the past? How much time have you spent carting the
past around with you when you could have gotten on with your life?
How much time have you wasted in wishing you could go back in time
and erase what passed and do it over and make it new? How you have
wanted to undo the past and say something else or say nothing or to
speak up when you had been silent?

In a way, you are a writer of your life. Unlike a writer, you can’t
rewrite. You can’t cross out.

In a way, every day you write a chapter. And when the day is over,
that particular chapter is finished. That chapter is closed. It has
to be left as it is.

Now there is something else, however. Although it makes great sense
to leave a past chapter alone, and I recommend wholeheartedly that
you not turn back, there also can be value in revisiting a chapter
that is over. Can you guess what this possible advantage of going
over an unchangeable chapter could be?

What I think of is that you may see the exact same chapter in a
different way. What you were convinced was a mistake may in a later
re-reading seem not like a mistake at all but just right. The chapter
is the same, yet you see it with new eyes. Upon this second reading,
you may not seem to be the oaf you had thought you were. Is this not
a good thing? You are not spending time agonizing over the past.
Rather, you are seeing the past in a new light! You digest it
differently, and that is all the difference in the world.

So, what if you could have the idea that not only is the past finis,
to it.

Beloveds, every chapter that is written, no matter how homely, how
winsome, how troublesome, led you to where you are today. With this
realization, would you then be so quick to knock it? A particular
chapter may have been a broken step, one you wished you had skipped,
but what if, no matter what, it was a good step because it led you
to where you are today?

Are you not indeed in a good place when My words are before you today
and you are reading them and letting them become part of you?

WANT A CLEAR CONNECTION TO THE DIVINE?

Beloved,

Today is beginning totally different than most of my mornings.
Yesterday I had some difficulty with getting clear reception on
both of my phones. One was so garbled that I had to call back on
a different phone and the next call, I had to stand in a certain
spot to have reception and it was my wall phone????

So, what do you do when you have phone problems? You call the
phone company! I set up a time for this morning for them to
come out. Lo and behold, I am listening to Panache Desai (who I
highly recommend, by the way) on Facebook Livestream. I have never
been on Livestream before so I am trying to figure out what to do
and per instructions, I set up an account with Livestream???

I do not know much about Facebook and my roommate at the Gathering
in Florida from Sweden, Sonja has been kind enough to help me find
out how to navigate this site. I was late in joining the event
but finally got in. I settled down and was immersed when all of a
sudden a truck from the phone company showed up. Darn, I wanted to
listen to Panache. Suddenly, my computer went dead. I went
outside and the telephone man was playing with the phone connections
and of course he needed to shut down my phone service which also
shut down my computer Wi-Fi service.

Amazingly, I was not upset. I was not even frustrated even though
I knew I would have to try to figure out how I got in to Livestream
in the first place and then try to duplicate it. The telephone man
finished playing outside and said he thought the problem was in
one of the high wires. He did not know if they would have him
fix it then or come back tomorrow.

Soooo, I went back inside to try to get connected back up with Panache
Desai. I got back in and was engrossed again when the phone rang.
It was the telephone man saying he would be back in the morning
to try to solve the problem. By now, I had missed quite a bit of
what Panache was talking about but again I was not bothered????

Usually, I get so frustrated when something interrupts a task that I
tried sooo hard to accomplish and then keeps interrupting my progress.
ESPECIALLY when it has anything to do with technology. I did not
make resolutions this year but I did make a promise to myself that
I would climb over my fear and learn more about Facebook and Skype
and perhaps even my two MP3’s that I have had for two years and still
cannot figure out how to use. I kept thinking that All is in Divine
Order and even if I cannot SEE the reason behind all of this, there
HAS to be one.

I have believed this for years but it was so simple to do this time.
The New Year of birthing from the heart instead of the mind is here.
This morning he showed up bright and early and proceeded to fix the
problem. Guess what it was? An old hornet’s nest on the side of
my house which was wet and was on top of a vital wire connection.

Is this what happens to you when you try to connect to the Divine?
Do you need to dial up the Divine again or do you need to stay
stuck in one spot in order to have a clear connection? Are you
limiting yourself to one spot, job, location, etc. because you don’t
think there is another solution? How about removing your fear (hornet’s
nest) from your mind and feeling the LOVE in your heart which holds
all the answers you are seeking for.

An added plus is that the telephone man and I had a very nice
conversation this morning and he is an enlightened being with two
beautiful daughters, 4 and 6 years old. He and they are such a
light to me, a reminder that angels come in many disguises and there
are soooo many on our planet that we don’t even know are there.

Remember the connection you have to the Divine and it only takes
knocking down a old, dead hornets nest of fear to have a complete
clear connection.

I thought you might like a visual of how to make a connection with
something new. Click on this link.
