What does God have up His sleeve?!!!!
Well, here I am. I woke up early this morning -- 2 a.m. as a matter of fact. I wrote down the new Heavenletter for today, and now I come to the blog.
I have about ten drafts of blogs written ahead, and, at this moment,I'm not satisfied with any of them, so I think I will ramble for a while.
But where are my thoughts? I don't seem to have any.
Ah, here's a thought:
A dear friend encouraged me to set intentions and do affirmations and such about remaining in South Africa so Heaven Admin and I can work together to better move Heavenletters™ forward in the world.
To insert myself in the way my friend suggested did not feel like the right thing for me to do. It felt clear to me that it was not necessary to do anything but to continue as I am. When my friend wrote, I realized that I hadn't been thinking about my situation at all.
The idea of trying to command an outcome was unsettling to me. I began to wonder if this sort of trying to direct an outcome is old world thinking and not in line with the new consciousness that is rising. In any case, what my good friend suggested did not feel right to me.
The thought of trying to use techniques to direct an outcome, contrary to its purpose, seemed to detract from the calmness and confidence that I was feeling.
Because of my friend's suggestion, I learned some things. I learned, not only that I am growing, but also that I have grown. Hurray!
Once upon a time I had to have everything my way, and I don't have to anymore!
My friend pointed out the dichotomy I had earlier expressed between letting nature take its course or taking it into my own hands. It dawned on me at this point that the dichotomy was a dichotomy of my intellect and not my heart, and the heart is what counts.
I used to have way too much holding on. Way too much.
That Heaven Admin is going to meet with the immigration office and see about sponsoring me is much more than I could ever dream of. His going the extra mile is another avenue of his great support of Heavenletters™. He is always thinking of the greater good of all.
Now I'm going to go back to bed. I'll hold off posting this blog entry until I can look at it in the light of day...
...Okay, now it's the light of day! It's March 21, the first day of Spring in the Northern Latitudes and the first day of Autumn in the Southern Latitudes.
I went back to bed at about 5 a.m. and when I woke up again, I wrote to God and knew what to end this blog entry with!
God said:
It will all straighten itself out. You are right that you do not have to do anything. Enjoy right now. Everything will fall into place. You are right to not resist and be happy with what comes. I will tell you that you will be very happy with what comes.
Normand was indeed right when he said the life script I'm writing is a thriller! The suspense! What does God have up His sleeve?!!!!

I wonder, Gloria if the holding on is an ego thing.
I am experiencing very similar feelings and thoughts about what I "need" to be orchestrating in my life. The heart and the mind.
Others talk about "the way" I am writing my book (not the accepted norm) Why do I take days in a row from what I "need" to be concentrating on, to paint rooms in my house... clear items that no longer have a purpose, to take to the Goodwill store.
And I tell them.. I need to free up vibrational space to allow something else to come in. And I need to do that with my thoughts.. and I am practicing this. Because I to, have a tendency to hold on to old patterns of thinking. I "have to" know the outcome!
Why? Maybe like you the outcome will be far greater and unexpected than I could have imagined.
Letting go of mind thoughts, and letting in heart thoughts... that's the way to go.
Beloved Lynda, I favor the way you are writing your book. You are doing GR8! A thousand blessings!
Gloria, whatever shows up next is bound to be a spine-tingling Thriller (joyfully speaking, of course). So far, so good, eh?
My dear friend, former neighbor (the best!), I sure have nothing to complain about! (Except that you moved away!)
Gloria, as a result of what I have been doing, (painting my house) I listen to cd's and tapes from workshops that I participated in many years ago, while the physical labour of love happens.
As a result, my book will now include allowing forgiveness, compassion and an open heart to people (players on my stage) and circumstances. More "acts in the play" of the spiritual comedy:)
God knows exactly how things need to happen. I am a firm believer in setting intentions. The question to ask, is are they "my" intentions? or "God's" intentions?
Open hearts...
Hi Gloria, Why ask, "I wonder what God has up his sleeve", just let it be and you just be yourself and God will organize what is best for HL. Just think back and see what God has done so far He gave you H.A.(Santhan) a heap of translaters and now you are expandig H.L. in Africa. What ever God does let it hapen and be happy it is. LOVE Jack
I love your wisdom, Jack. Thank you!

When one grows, one sees that the personal will IS God's will. For years I have been examining this concept, and see more clearly that I am God here and now, that not only God's life flows through me, but God's will (desire) flows through me to express.
Energies abound in streams and rivers and clumps - everywhere is energy to be shaped into pleasing things and shapes and conditions and lives. It seems to me that it is within my purview as a child of the most high God to shape those energies into pleasing form.
"Intention", "imagination", co-creatorship, are gifts given us to make use of. I think it neither usurping God nor negative-ego based, to nudge and direct the flow of energies to be beneficial.
If one worries about usurping "what will be" with "what one wants", one can always be clear that not my will, but Thine be done - and then imagine the best and highest outcome you are able to. But give it some SHAPE, some FORM - be not a piece of driftwood moving down the stream without a rudder.
Dear Margaret, I understand exactly what you are saying, and you are right, yet, as so often happens, the opposite is also true! You, Lynda, and I could probably write a book on this theme!
My desire was quite clear. My intention was stated. I have a preference. I remember from the days when I used to affirmations and such, the suggested phrasing was: "This or something better."
We, you and I, may have different lessons in life. In any case, we come from a different place right now. My heart is not moved to go in the direction of having to have, or having to have dominion over this outcome. I did not consciously make a decision, you understand. I simply don't feel a need to work at this. I simply have not felt concerned about this. I like to think that I have let go of attachment, and this is a big step up for me. This is not how I have always been. This is where I am now. My heart simply isn't into a deliberate compaign or what feels like a project to me. This isn't the direction I want to go in.
All my energy goes into Heavenletters™.
I know what a good friend you are to me, angel. I know how you want all good to come to me. And hasn't it, dear one?
And more is coming! What is there for me to be worried about?!
Loving you, my friend.
Ah, perhaps the misunderstanding lies in use of your words "NEED TO WORK AT THIS". It is not work to have a clear understanding of your preference and direction in life.
I feel there need be no sense of attachment from merely being clear of your direction.
It is akin to being a clear crystal, or a muddy mug of water.
As you say, your desire is clear,your preference is felt. Thus you are emitting coherent energy from the crystal of your being.
And indeed, any "worry about" would muddy the waters.
Most beloved Margaret, dear dear friend, I love our discussion! Thank you!
it is work for me when I have no inner impulse to do it! What is right for one person may not be for another! Or at one time may be right and another not. What does my inner heart say? It says this isn't for me. It's not where I am. I don't want it. In a way, it's like chocolate cake. Someone loves it, and I say, "No, thank you."
Is there a right or wrong? There's a right for me and a different right for you!
I'm replying to myself! I had one more simple thought. Dear Margaret, my desire has been established. It has a shape and form. This I did not convey to you. This happened naturally. I expressed my desire. God heard me. He answered. He said, in effect, "It is all taken care of." He said I will be very happy. I am happy now!
Absolutely right on!
Perfect!
Love and hugs!
You are a good sport, beloved Margaret!
About intention: Knowing how powerful the mind is and knowing the creative power of thought, the only possible salvation from this beast and the infinite web of repercussions resulting from firing its arrows, is to place it into the confident hands of Love. Love suffers no consequences.
