Points of View
One of the greatest things about the forum and this blog are the comments that Heavenreaders post. I’ve told you that before.
Your comments inspire. They make me smile, laugh, and/or think.
On the forum, by its nature, there isn’t always agreement. And it’s beautiful to see how caring and disagreement are okay side by side and do not become arguments at all.They are really discussions and do not fall into emotional arguments as disagreements often do become in “real” life.
It’s really true that different points of view are welcome on the forum. Even when someone thinks the opposite of someone else, it’s perfectly fine. It’s really like we would fight to the end for a person to say what he thinks and feels, even if it’s the opposite of our opinion. We really do honor each other’s points of view.
Recently there was a comment on the forum that I can’t seem to let go of. I debate it back and forth in my mind. I kinda realize that all arguments must be within ourselves.
Someone innocently posted that he would like to see the day when Heavenletters offer us more advanced Heavenletters.
This didn’t ring true to me. God doesn’t hold back. He doesn’t keep His knowledge from us. Of course, there is much we don’t understand, and yet God says we don’t have to understand, and there is much we can’t.
I ask myself why does this particular comment that opens the possibility of more advanced Heavenletters bother me? I am not looking for anyone to agree with me. I am trying to figure it out.
I had sort of hoped this morning that God would give us a Heavenletter that addressed this, but He didn’t. This morning (the Heavenletter written down this morning which won’t come out for a while) was about loneliness.
So why does this idea still run around inside my mind? What is there about it? There has to be more to this than my not agreeing with it.
I wonder if I see the word advanced as judgment, like we have beginner Heavenletters now, and some day we’ll have more advanced Heavenletters as if they are for our intellect. Or as if some of us are more advanced than others. Who is to say? Maybe I feel I would be left back.
I know that as our consciousness grows, so do the Heavenletters. What I mean is that we can reread Heavenletters written ten years ago, and find them more wonderful than we knew back then. It is the very simplicity of them that is wonderful. Possibly, we see something in an early Heavenletter that wasn’t quite there for us the first time. The Heavenletter hasn’t changed. The words are the same. Maybe we are more advanced.
I imagine that in one Heavenletter, God has told us everything. Of course, He comes at it from different angles.
I remember that, years ago, God was saying often: “I am here. I am here. I am here.” I thought that was too simple. I thought it was a little Dick and Jane, and I felt a tinge of embarrassment actually at the simplicity. Three words, each of one syllable. “I am here.” Maybe I wanted something more impressive back then.
As I grew in understanding, those three words meant more for me. In fact, if I had to choose the whole theme of all Heavenletters, I might choose those three words as the main theme. Advanced? No, simple, basic, real, true, and meaningful!
God says over and over again that we need more heart, not mind. Do I think that advanced means more intellect?
I still seem to think that God has given us the whole story, and that He gave it to us long ago. And now we, like children, love to read the same story over and over again. Of course, it has been said that we are to be like the little children.
This is what I feel. What do you feel?
