A Child of God

When I worked with people looking for work, I used several quickie tests. I never liked long tests. I liked short ones that took no time at all to take and no time at all to go over.

No test tells the whole story. At the very least, however, personality tests can give us a frame of reference and a vocabulary to use to help us know who we are and what matters to us.

Recently I saw a video of a movie someone had recommended to me, A Fairy Tale,  A True Story.  It did my heart good to know that fairies and elves and such exist, and to see them flying around.

Seeing that movie reminded me of the book Life Colors by Pamela Oslie, and how it clearly identifies me as the color the author named Lavender. The life color represents the aura we were were born with.  I love the color lavender, yet in terms of my place in the world, I would much rather be many of the other colors described rather than lavender. I don’t think anyone would choose to be a lavender! But I must have!

I went to the web site http://www.auracolors.com/personal-quiz-auracolors.html  and took the little test. Yep, I’m lavender all right.

I started to feel, well, a little down about it. No wonder! Look at all that this test was affirming. Not great stuff at all! So that can be the down side of tests. Of course, if you’re a Violet or Chrystal or Indigo, the affirmations are great!

And yet God tells us that we have to love ourselves as we are.  All in all, I’m pretty good at it.  Today’s Heavenletter is even entitled Be Glad You’re You.  I know, I know. I will affirm what really matters: “I am a child of God. I am a child of God. I am a child of God.” Regardless of my protest at being lavender, please know this goes only as deep as wanting to be blonde. When all is said and done, I am glad to be me.

So here’s the lavender test. I think I will leave it up for a little while, and then take it down so no one, including me, can affirm Lavender as limiting. From now on, when I think of lavender, I will think of lilacs and iris and a lovely lavender dress I once had.

 Aura Color #12

YES

SOMETIMES

NO

LAVENDER




I enjoy fantasy and make-believe more than the “real” world.




I am quiet, sensitive and spiritual.




I have a difficult time managing money.




I tend to spend a lot of time alone, daydreaming.




I prefer pretty, gentle and fine artistic things and I am uncomfortable with harsh environments.




I am often forgetful and frequently “spacey.”




People accuse me of being irresponsible and unrealistic.




I have difficulty dealing with everyday responsibilities.




I am an imaginative and creative thinker; however, I tend to have trouble following through with my ideas.




I seem to be out of my body more than I am in it.




I tend to want others to solve my problems for me.




I prefer to work in relaxed, low-stress environments.

#11 Violet (7)
#13 Crystal (7)
#14 Indigo (7)
Plus Red Overlay

You can’t do very much with this without consulting the book, can you?
But perhaps having several main emphases at least implies some open-endedness….

Reply from Emilia on April 5, 2009

Why lavander doesn’t appeal to you, Gloria? It is my favourite colour, very suitable for pale complexion and besides very “à la page”. I tried the test just for fun:
7 Indigo
8 Crystal
red overlay.
I hate some shades of red!

Gloria, I’m thinking maybe you couldn’t do what you do if you weren’t primarily Lavender. But there must be other aspects which help you maintain the discipline that is part of what you do. In any case, I’m very comfortable with you being Lavender.

Most interesting test. I came up with:
Violet 9
Crystal 9
Indigo 6
Red Overlay 4

Perhaps Jochen and I are cousins.

I would be happy to be Lavender!

quiet, sensitive and spiritual
pretty, gentle and fine artistic things
imaginative and creative thinker
prefer to work in relaxed, low-stress environments

most of what might be considered negative are in fact only peoples (usually other peoples) perceptions of what is ‘right’ or ‘good’ so plenty of room to enjoy being Lavender…

… now I wonder what color I might be… I hope its blue :-)

Reply from Steve on April 5, 2009

Well I got to blue and Yes it had my highest score so far (5) :-) but then along came violet (7) that was a surprise :-o and then a shining crystal appeared and to my amazement threw me a 9! I would never have guessed at that before doing this.

Reply from Gloria on April 5, 2009

Okay, I will look at the bright side of being a lavender!
I am happy that you all are crystals and violets and indigos too!

Reply from Pam (fortheloveofGodde) on April 5, 2009

I read the lavendar and think it’s lovely … and suits you. The test was a bit more ambiguous for me.

Violet 9
Crystal 8
Blue 8
Indigo 8
Abstract Tan 8
Red overlay

There were some other 7s and so … sheesh, no wonder I can’t figure myself out.

Reply from Jochen on April 6, 2009

In times of crisis or depression, what do I long to be? Something very simple and humble, something less taxing than this oh so highly developed spirit. I’m not really interested in aura colors and their meaning, but the red overlay made me think because I very often feel the way it ist described.

And how does this relate to Heavenletters™? If you read today’s #3055, “Come to Know Yourself”, it seems that everything including the red overlay is a matter of choice – a choice you can make right now and once and for all. It’s funny it doesn’t feel like that at all. It’s even more funny that I automatically feel something like: “No, dear God, You are not quite understanding this.” It’s a dilemma, isn’t it. You know it’s nonsense to think there could be something God doesn’t know (and You WANT Him to be right every single time), but you are over sixty now und you have worked your whole life trying to get rid of this nameles and faceles thing that clings to you tenaciously, slowing you down, making life so very strenuous.

Does anyone know the solution to this dilemma? I suppose that reading Heavenletters will take care of the red overlay by pointing out it’s just another bogeyman. But let me tell you something: If someone would offer me a simple and effective procedure to remove the red overlay, I’d buy it even though I already have an impressive collection…..

Thanks for this fun test, Gloria, it made me forget the earthquake for a while. I am definitely crystal with a tinge of blue and green (whatever that means).

You should see the lavender fields in the summer here in Italy, they are one of the most beautiful views you can have from an airplane.

Dear Jochen, as far as I understand you are getting it the wrong way around. It’s not the ‘nameless and faceless thing’ you need to get rid of, it’s the personality with a name and a face that you need to surrender, so that what remains is the divine core essence, God/Love, that is the real you.

Reply from Emilia on April 6, 2009

I am affected too by the red overlay, but if we find ourselves here, reading heavenletters, we must be happy with us, maybe we had to carry this weight in order to arrive where we are now. I tell you something that surprised me a lot. Last night at 3.20 we had a terrible earthquake. Many deads, much fear. But in the middle of the night and in that situation, while tryig to reach outside, I found myself looking at the Moon, it was so quiet, and I felt safe and so familiar with the Universe and the Earth. I felt as I knew the earthquake and as it was an old friend having some trouble. I thought: “Am I becoming mad?”. This morning I know how much I am changed and I am happy with myself, also with my red overlay.

Reply from Jochen on April 6, 2009

Emilia and Paula, your post are the first things I hear about the earthquake. From what I see now on the news channels on the internet, it looks quite bad. I hope you are not affected directly. I hope help is swift. I hope it will turn out not quite as bad as it looks.

(Later; had to call a friend in Italy first:)

Emilia, what you write is very very beautiful and heartwarming.

Paula, I would like to contradict you, but since you are right, I don’t know how. Except that I do not believe in “need to” at all and have, through Heavenletters, learned to be a little understanding toward myself when I want an Aspirin.

I took the test last night and have beem overjoyed ever since. It has answered so many questions I have been having lately.

Crytal 11

Sesitive Tan 9
Lavendar 9
Yellow 9

I agree and love every color. I knew this about me but never told anyone. I am so amazed at this. These are all me perfectly. The only one I dont under stand how is the healer. I dont now how. I want to know any answers.

The need to be alone and recharge has been a big help!
Im super sensitive super intuitive everything these colors descrbed.

I was an accountant (to live) I just couldnt do it anymore. I though it was because of the dishonnesty in people etc now I know It was very had to do that for so long. Im am artist now I have been painting dove, angels, butterflies etc for 5 years now. Wow art is intuitive and from your heart it is also your truth. At least for me Im am blown away with the confirmation.
What a gift of peace I have now. I am so elidated. I pray others to find this bliss. Everyone desires it.
God bless for letting me ramble on. Im very grateful.

Angel
