Love ya, Gloria

The description of how you responded to the request from Francis, when he asked for the picture of his mother, had a powerful effect on me. When I read your response that you would “think about it,” I felt almost literal pain in my chest. I felt like crying, but I suppressed it with the thought that it would be awfully hard to explain to my family why I was crying about someone whom I never met and who has long passed on.

I am telling you this since it is important in explaining how the various stories about Francis are still hanging somewhere out there, without any real resolution which feels, in my heart, to be a very important matter. To put out a tender series of private incidents like this seems to me to leave you quite vulnerable, Gloria. Now I will jump in, too, and put my heart out there on my sleeve with yours. When I envision these events, particularly when I see Francis being rejected in his request, certain images come before me that seem to be telling me about unfinished business between you and Francis. I see a sort of dark spot in your mind that is at a very deep level, and it is sending something that looks like tentacles up to the surface of your mind. This feels to me like an energy block of some sort that is still having an impact on you. Please make no assumption that this is something physical, I know it to be a symbol of what is happening in the mind.

Here is where it gets even more “out there.” I also see a dark spot in Francis’s mind that is not as deep as yours and not as dark. It is a mirror image of yours, but not as intense. This spot also sends little vine-like things to the surface of his mind, but they seem like they are being removed and almost gone.

I know this sounds a bit crazy, and some may be thinking that “Chuck has lost it here,” but I am telling all this because it feels important, especially for you, Gloria. This situation about Francis is having an important impact on your life and needs some specifically tailored work to resolve. My suggestion (I am sticking my neck out even further here) is for you to ask God about this in your personal Godwriting.

If you don’t want to do this, the same intuitive space from which these images come is providing me with an alternative strategy to relay to you. I get the suggestion that you seek Francis out in your meditation. When you do this, you may hear or see or feel him nearby, but even if you don’t after a few moments, tell him you are sorry for not having hugged him and not having told him you would love to give him his mother’s picture when he first asked you for it.

This is not all, though. The most essential part is for you to go back to the scene in question in your imagination and change it. See Francis in front of you. See the location and smell the smells, if you can, and hear the intonations of voice. Re-do the event, tell him in this scene what you heart tells now that you would have liked to have said back then. Let it all flow the way it wants to, it will be healing.

I have a pretty wild imagination. It can often be good, but it also can be a problem for me at times. Sometimes it takes off and flies with ego propelling it. My wife is fond of saying I can be “damn dramatic.” I have been known to be mistaken in my recommendations like this, but most often I am not. Whatever you do, Gloria, please let me know what happens here. Don’t worry about embarrassing me by what you have to say, it won’t be a big deal.

However this goes, I think it is very important to continue to put important issues in our lives out there in these blogs and forums. The Heaven Sutras demonstrated this superbly. We should carry on the Heaven Sutras tradition of asking our heartfelt questions of God, receiving His answers and putting this all out for readers to profit from in their spiritual growth. There is powerful healing in these stories and even more so in God’s answers and suggestions.

Keep up the fantastic work you do, love ya……Chuck

Charles, Heavenletters and Godwriting workshops have equal billing! Definitely both are God-given.

Chuck, and, yes, that would be wonderful to have blog entries from blogreaders.

One thing I’m going to do with more time is work on the two books, Come Play with Me, which is how to Godwrite and The Little Things which is about my life which shows quite well that Godwriting takes no special ability.

As with the story of My Cousin Francis, I may give you a run-through on parts of these books and welcome your honest feedback. Such things as: Does this hold your interest? What is the meaning of this section — how would you sum it up? Do you think this section is necessary to include? Where is it strong? Where does it need more attention?

Loving you,

Gloria
