God said:

What shall it be? What shall We talk about today? Shall We just take a walk? Hold hands and meander around the park today? Whatever, let Our hearts be full with the Fullness of Love as Our hearts become closer until, lo and behold, We are Closeness ItSelf, and We have passed all borders, so-called borders that never existed except in the mind of humankind and were held onto tight. Borders are just ideas.

All these borders were passed onto you anyway. You did not create them. You were told they were there, and you were taught not to go through doors and not walk where you were told not to go.

You were told no-no, and, so, no-no it was. What the great danger was – this was not clearly passed onto you. To believe it was danger was enough. You feared a fall from grace or disgrace of some kind if you ventured into your True Self.

What on earth is so risky about who you truly are? What merit can there be in your taking a trick photograph of yourself, as if pretense is your holding card, as if pretense gets you safe passage, as if you are to portray yourself as the world seems to instruct, and which can only be less than the Truth of you. You have felt obliged to paint a pencil sketch of yourself. A holy portrait of yourself would carry more Truth than this pretended one of you that states you are body and troubles and that is all you can be, and that is all life is and can possibly be. Hurray for status quo, says the world.

When you feel somber and perhaps deprived, this is a signal to be good to yourself. You are taking life too seriously. You are wearing black or dark gray. Find a happier color, pastel or bold. There are so many shades of green. Pick one that makes you smile. Pink is good. Yellow is fabulous. How many colors are there? You have so many colors to choose from. Throw out the dark colors, and brighten your life.

We are talking about your life. Perhaps you don’t appreciate your life right now. Here is a tonic. What flower would you like to be? So many flowers to choose from.

A dandelion always likes to be picked. A dandelion is so peppy. Always a good choice. Maybe you like buttercups better. Doesn’t matter. It’s up to you.

How about an iris or violets by the dingle? Lavender and bluets?

How about wild roses and rose petals and rose petal jam? Or a huge pink peony?

Take a walk and pick a flower. Put it in your lapel.

This is life We are celebrating. Have a feast. What is your favorite food? Have it! Celebrate today. You are not at a funeral. You are here today to value life.

Always say thank you for gifts given to you. Do not be resistant to gifts given to you. Recognize a gift when you see one.

Dance. Sing. Skip-to-my-lou. Make up a jingle or a slogan. Live today to your heart’s content.

God said:

Whatever is going on in your life is going on within you, and this too shall pass.

Consider life like terrain you pass by. Here are smooth rolling hills coming up. Here are rocks and tundra. Here are beautiful waters. Here are mud-holes. Whatever you may be passing by, you are still you, and you are still My beloved.

You are not the scenery you pass by. The scenery is the scenery. You are the passerby. You will get past the scenery. You do get past it. The scenery is a movie reel. You are not the movie reel. Just don’t take passing things too seriously which is the same as taking yourself too seriously!

So you get wet. So a little mud splashes on you. So you expect too much or not enough. Regardless, you do not make yourself a victim of what you happen to be passing by.

The sun does shine on you. I am in Heaven, and I do not pull switch and bait with you. I love and draw you to Me. What matter the crowds? What matter the rapscallions? What matter the considerate or the inconsiderate? What matter your moods except that they are yours to choose or not? Forget moods.

Go on your merry way. You are not stuck unless you say you are. What matters this incident or that one? What matters others’ wisdom or their ignorance? What is the importance of your moods except that you may pile them up and carry them around? They are cantankerous, your moods. Let go of them. They are not here to stay. They will mosey along soon enough. They are not so important to you. You do not have to keep them.

God said:

Be like butter - easy to cut through. Nothing abrades you. You are not an obstacle to another. Someone doesn’t like you? What care you? You do not resist. You do not resent. You let go of resistance, for resistance amounts to hard feelings. Don’t have hurt feelings in the first place. Whatever occurs in life, your hard feelings are not to be one of them. Be like butter.

Nor are you easily flattered. You are not high and mighty. Nor are you laid low. Have you not had enough hurt feelings now to last a lifetime? Be done with hurt feelings this minute. The world is not to buoy you, nor is the world to put you down. Be your own Tour Guide.

No longer do you live in a world where offense takes over, and you are like dried hard stale bread crumbling from the past. Soft as butter, you are not a sob-sister. You are someone who knows what is significant and what is not. Your world does not hinge on your being well-received. What is it to you when someone does not favor you? It is not an ordinance in the world that everyone has to favor you.

It feels like a tragedy to you, yet why? Does your life really depend on someone else’s receptivity? Do not cast someone off because he or she needs more than you can give them. Do not make your life a trade-off. If someone lacks joy to give you, does that have to be your problem? Does being liked or not liked have to be your modus-operandi? Can you not be who you are regardless of what and where someone else happens to be at a given moment?

God said:

What are the accumulated understandings I give to you again and again?

I say to let go of the past and past ideas. I say to open your heart. I say to be true to yourself - to be Who You Are, and so create joy and uplift the world. You are My heartfelt gift to the world.

Let’s review these concepts: Abandon the past. Open your heart the way the Sun greets the day. Be true to yourself. Be Who you are without fancy foot-work. Be your own counsel. To create is to recreate yourself and be new however long you shall live. There is another request. What is it? It will come back to Me later. Watch for it.

Be generous with all those you call others, for they are your very Self. Truth is far more than information. You already have more information than you know what to do with.

You can memorize information the way you would memorize poetry, and the vibration/consciousness/deep meaning may soak into you and reverberate within you.

When you first hear to be generous, when it is a new thought in your mind, and when it sparks an insight in your mind, you may think: “I didn’t know this. Now I get it. Yes, there has been an insight, and I realize the outreach of generosity.”

Now you think of generosity as a good thing, yet you may not have not fully realized this Truth. If you still have to ponder generosity, you have not yet realized it.

That your mind now grasps generosity as something favorable doesn’t yet mean that you automatically dip into this great reservoir within you. Old habits run deep.
