Yesterday's Personal Godwriting
I hesitate to talk about experiences because it's not experiences that we are here for. God in Heavenletters™ tells us we don't need experiences. We don't read Heavenletters so we have experiences. Experiences are sort of a detour. What do we want with experiences anyway when we can have God Himself?
And when we do talk about an experience, the experience itself kind of fizzles in the description. The description is an afterthought. The experience is already gone, and it becomes like a dream we had. Interesting, nice, but what does it amount to really?
We're glad we had it. What its purpose really was, we don't know. We can be sure we didn't have it so we could talk about it!
With all this being said, I will tell you about a recent "experience." I maybe have one tiny experience once in two years, five years, maybe not that.
This occurred during my personal Godwriting™ yesterday morning.
I told God that I had been detoxifying a lot.
God agreed and said:
Now everything is going to be a lot clearer to you. Everything is going to fall more into place for you. Wait and see. A great Sun is dawning. You are going to be skipping along. How happy you are going to be.
As you know, I just sort of hear God's words, very subtly, but it's like hearing them.
This one time, before I heard the words You are going to be skipping along, I had an image of myself skipping along. I saw the picture before I heard the words.
Seeing the image is not more wonderful than hearing the words, yet that was a new experience for me.
It's not like it's better to see than to hear. It's not like it really means anything. Maybe it was like a breadcrumb God threw. I don't know why it happened, or if it will ever happen again. I can't even say that I want it to.
Whereas I can write down the words I hear, I can't write down a picture.
This morning I said (wrote) to God:
So, God, what difference does an experience make?
God responded:
It gave you something to write in your blog.
And that made me smile. (God has a wry sense of humor!)
And a line below appeared. I don't know how it got here, and I don't seem to be able to remove it. Well, another kind of experience. Does it have a meaning, and what difference does it make if it does or doesn't?
And now there are two more lines! And another. And another! I'd better stop now.

Thank you for sharing, Gloria! I know exactly how you felt...I feel that way when something comes to me in a way that I am not used to, it confirms (to myself!) that I am not imagining/making up/inventing things...God really does exist and there really is something/someone/someway to wake up to. Not that it matters :), but my ego would like to know if your detoxing is from a physical cleanse or another form of cleansing...? Much Love, Jen
"I hesitate to talk about experiences because it’s not experiences that we are here for. God in Heavenletters™ tells us we don’t need experiences."
I hesitate to ask but, with out experiences of our beingness what else is there? This is quite perplexing.
Life is the experience. There is more to experience for sure. But without it (experiences), how is Life felt, lived or referenced?
Beloved Jen, my body seemed to detox on its own. I didn't do anything. It's possible I had a mild flu or something.
Thank you for asking. Post more!
Beloved Marko, I understand your question. I probably would have been wise to explain. Yes, you are right. All of our lives we are experiencing one thing or another.
I meant "experiences" in quotes. As if they are a badge of honor or something. God in Heavenletters makes it clear that our "experiences" are not an indication of our closeness to God.
" God in Heavenletters makes it clear that our “experiences” are not an indication of our closeness to God."
Beloved Gloria if not our experiences, then what truly is an indication of our closeness to God???
Is it not the experience of our feelings?
Dear Marko, yes, it can be a bit perplexing. I think the meaning is not that there are no indications but that we should not make too much of them because then they will distract us from the "real thing". There is a whole Heavenletter on this:
Great Spiritual Experiences, Heavenletter # 2030 Published on: June 13, 2006.
Let me give you a quote that may shed some further light. It's from
Into the Depths
Heavenletter # 1700 Published on: July 16, 2005:
Your life exists on many levels. You spend more time on the surface level. The surface level seems all important to you, but it is, after all, only a level.
Within lies gold. Sometimes you are on the surface and the golden level shines through. This is when you have a spiritual experience of the kind you so desire. It is not more of a remarkable experience because it appears on the surface. You may think a surface event offers some kind of proof. When you are immersed on the level of the ever-present gold, proof is the last thing you are thinking about.
Jochen puts it very well ... the first time a new avenue of communication opens to Godde, it is an "experience," then if they become regular occurrences they are simply another experience of how we communicate with Godde. The clearer the filter becomes (like after a body or mind cleanse), the more enriching and clear the message.
Heavenletter's are always a clear channel, a clear communication with Godde, in my experience (LOL).
Perhaps the "picture" with the words is for you, dear Gloria, to have a fuller experience of the Heavenletter as it is being dictated rather than having to wait to review what was written later.
Whatever, it sounds like a beautiful "experience" to me!
Laughing...
Skipping with God. Isn't he SO much fun Gloria! For me the pictures are inseperable from the 'words'. I still must tell you about the day the day when I was three 'that he sat me on his lap' and let me look through his eyes and the gift he gave me that day. We play together, he and I. And laugh, that is what we do. In 1990 I backed out of my drive-way into a nightmare... another story which eventually led to us writing these poems together that I emailed you about. Well, I can barely type now for the tears running down my face, so here is a few more. I never know where to post as the first could well be a comment to your letter today, the 9th, about happiness. Each of your letters brings to mind somthing we've written together.
I thank you for stopping a moment to listen
when I yelled aloud for help.
Thanks for opening wide your ears
as I released my pent up fears.
Thanks for picking up my broken pieces
and carrying me to a safe place in the storm.
Thanks for holding me so close
When I needed to feel warmth.
Thanks for all these things I'll keep-
to warm my heart when fears run deep.

Majic dances once again
and I offer up my hand.
Where will this dance lead me too
Majic man who asks me to?
!!!!!!!!!!
Have some feathers in my bed
& the pillow for my head
See me flying over heather
swaying in the windy weather
Breezed on over fields of clover
soon the clouds were getting closer
Glided down and saw my wings
in moonlit mirror of the stream
Fluttered over to the willow
lifted head up from my pillow
Did I leave my wings outside
by the willow late last night
Hmmm, well I guess that's OK... cause
I have feathers in my bed.

Hi there ---- like my lovely room?
Almost finished with this broom.
Soon I’m going out to play.
be back later on today.
First I’ll empty off this shelve
in case I find some little elves.
They could hide inside this sack
I would bring them right on back.
Think my mom wll let them stay?
If we be quiet when we play.

My Blue Clown Gown
I climbed into my brand new clown
Night shirt that we bought in town
Got my dolls to bed them down
In homemade cradle golden brown
My best stuffed hound, I finally found
He sleeps real good, all rolled up round
Turning off light as rain pours down
I jump into bed hearing its sound
Thinking about all the rivers it fed
And sailing down stream like the book said
I woke up chilled & wet to my head
What a surprise To be in a river bed !
