How I love your comments! How they stimulate my thinking. Are you as much in awe at everyone’s comments as I am? I don’t know if I can convey how grateful I am for what you write. Your comments and questions help me know what to write for the How to Godwrite™ book and for an on-line Godwriting™  workshop. You help very much.

Today I would like to respond here to what Jochen and One said and another time soon to Cathy’s comment.

Here’s what Jochen wrote:

But there is no brain, right or left. As long as we believe in the solidity of walls, trying to walk through them will likely produce bruises and bumps, left and right. Once we drop that belief and all beliefs, everything will move through everything else effortlessly. No obstacle, no advantage, no disadvantage, nothing working, nothing not working.

Jochen, you make a beautiful point here, several really. Yes, why have a discussion of right brain/left brain at all?!

I started Godwriting without thinking about the two brain hemispheres. Is not discussion of right brain/left brain itself a left brain activity?!!!  And when my friend first asked me to show her how to Godwrite, and she was Godwriting in fifteen minutes, certainly we hadn’t spent time discussing the differences of the two hemispheres of the brain.

It was only after I started giving Godwriting workshops in earnest that I began to look seriously at the topic of left brain/right brain. I like to think that understanding these two modes of thinking helps to orient a new Godwriter. But what is it we really need to know beforehand? The less we know, aren’t we the wiser? Doesn’t God say that in Heavenletters™ somewhere?

Jochen also commented:

Thank God for Godwriting! Thank God for this beautiful, bottomless word – Godliving. Well, I’m not there, obviously, and what I’m writing is probably muddle-brain or no-brain. But I do feel this approaching: “Your life falls from My lips….”

Much the way God’s words fall from our pen.

One also hits the nail on the head:

Younger children may be more innocent with the opening of the gift. They are happy with whatever they receive because they don’t expect anything. They accept the gift. Godwriting is like a gift waiting for us to unwrap it.

Then he also added:

A few of the times I tried Godwriting, I felt like a child opening a gift. The other times it felt just like myself writing and straining to hear. Sometimes it flowed, and sometimes it didn’t.

It’s so important that we don’t expect anything! Of course, we love our Godwriting to flow. We love it when it goes almost too fast for us and it’s all we can do to keep up. At those times, the pull is so strong and wonderful.

Yet Godwriting doesn’t have to flow. It can be start and stop.

What it can’t be is a strain. I mean, we don’t want to strain. I think we must not! Strain is counterproductive to Godwriting and counterindicative. I think that, if we feel we’re straining to Godwrite, this would be a good time to take a minute or two to do a very few simple activities that help to loosen us up. I will tell about these quick activities another time.

Godwriting is not safe. It is a risk. We are jumping off a cliff. If there is a strain, I wonder if we are holding on!  In order to risk, we have to let go.

Somehow we have to not even be thinking about our Godwriting, whether it’s good or not, whether it’s fast or slow.

The switch from our usual thinking to Godwriting is almost imperceptible. I think of it as turning a radio dial just that tiny bit to get a station in clearly. I think of it as a kaleidoscope, where the slightest turn changes the whole picture. When we are Godwriting, somehow we have to not even question whether we are Godwriting or not.

Just now I remembered a question to God that Hans asked in 2004 — and I found it!

Dear God,  I’ve been thinking a while about doing Godwriting. Would You suggest something that would make it easier to recognize Your words from what is not from You? Your loving son, Hans

And God responded:

My beloved loving son, if you want to commune with Me, commune with Me. No conditions are necessary.

So what if some of your individual words get thrown in. Let them be. What is truth is truth. What is love is love. What is wisdom is wisdom. Wouldn’t you be happy to hear 10% from Me? How about 99%? What if you heard only 1% from Me, would it still be worth it?

If you have your attention on Who or who says what, then you will not be Godwriting. You will be thinking. The oversized left brain will click in and prevent you from sitting down with Me.

When you Godwrite, you are listening to Me, not your judgmental mind. Godwriting is easy. Unless it’s easy, it’s not Godwriting. Leave the questioning mind behind. It will only get in the way.

And, yes, I would love to sit down with you, one on One, and be Oneness with you. Put away your glasses. Wear Mine.

Your God, God
