A real blog entry at last
I am really proud of myself. I am really proud of myself at this moment for two things: I had an intuitive feeling/insight, and I acted on it right then.
One of the big issues God talks about in Heavenletters™ is letting go of the past. It’s so easy to see the necessity of this in other people and not always so easy in ourselves. And even when we do see the need in ourselves, sometimes there is something in us that doesn’t want to let go.
Now, I do want to say that I have worked hard on letting go. I have let go of belongings from the past. Virtually entire households. The fact is we just can’t hold onto everything, not to precious things and not to precious memories and ideas as well.
While I was in Fairfield for a few days, at Jacqueline's gracious invitation, I stayed on the second floor of her house. She has an apartment up there that is not rented out. And she had also been generously letting me store some things up there. Papers, books, clothes. One reason I went to Fairfield was to clear out some of what I had stored and, on second thought, didn't need to keep. This really takes time, and I didn’t have much of it.
So, on this short visit I went through lots of papers, primarily fiction I had written years ago. I will tell you more about that later.
Years before Godwriting™ began, an outstanding man in Fairfield had done my birth chart. This was Siderean astrology, Eastern astrology. It's also called Jyotish. I had typed up what Allan had taped for me, two hours' worth at least.
I came across this typed copy of this session about my life. Allan had hit the nail on the head. He clarified and affirmed many things for me. And now, while reading the random parts I did, I was blown away.
My first thought as I read this chart of my life was: "Oh, wow, Heaven Admin will really like this."
Very soon, my inner voice said: "This is an old chart, Gloria. This isn't your chart any more. And you should toss it." Of course, I am not the same person then that I am now.
Without further ado, I tossed this fifty pages of so my life printed on an old dot.matrix printer.
You realize that this session was years before Godwriting had entered my life. Allan, the astrologer, had said I would do spiritual writing.
I said: "But I write fiction."
He said, "That may be, but you will do spiritual writing. It says it right here."
I didn't take this seriously. I just put the whole thought aside. Even after Godwriting had begun, I didn't remember what Allan had said until years later.
Certainly, what Allan said about Godwriting came true. I don't question the validity of anything he said, and, meeting with him was a very good thing for me. And yet, up on Jacqueline's second floor, when I spot-read a few parts of what Allan told me, it felt like putting on old musty clothes that had been kept in an attic for a long time. They were beautiful and pertinent once, but not so much now.
Tomorrow, I will tell you what else I remember from my spot-reading of what Allan had told me.
I'm so glad to be back to writing to you.

"...we just can’t hold onto everything, not to precious things and not to precious memories and ideas as well."
Ah yes, Gloria, this too is being shown to me. When my son in equatorial Africa said softly "damn" when on the phone with me, because a neighbour's cat had entered through the window (they had no screening yet), walked on the counter and knocked down and broke one of their few mugs, my mother's heart wanted to send him mugs from home. Of course it is not practical, and so I photographed the family mugs that hang on hooks along two carved wooden boards and sent him the photograph of these beautiful mugs, gathered over decades and used for family and friends.
Then later I realized that this was an old beautiful thing, and no longer had bearing on his present life in Africa. And the sending of the photo as a little joy, would indeed have little to do with his current situation. And in that moment, I too realized the "letting go" of old beauties, old precious things, is needed.
We make this journey together, reflecting each other's realizations. Much love to you, dear friend. And safe journey.
Good to have a full blog from you again Senora. How are things in that beautiful town of Fairfield, Iowa?
Beloved Senor, there is "something" there. Like peace.
In a few days, I will be on my way back to South Africa!
And now I am in Chicago!
Each place has its beauty and specialness, doesn't it?
Hey Gloria I am proud of You, You listened !!! Let go, good on you. You and I are completely different then we were 30 even 10 years ago, Actually We are different to day then we were yesterday, learning all the time.

We love you Jack; it brightens our day to read your comments. A day late from the other side of the date line in Illinois, USA.

Beloved Jack, I never ever contradict what God says! However, I think the reason for your long life and health are because we are enriched by your love and we learn from you.
And, Jack, wishing you a happy birthday. And many more! Of course, God says that we are not our age.
