The Way God Thinks
I know that I said I would continue yesterday’s entry today. Is it okay if I do it tomorrow?
I want to write about something else this morning, and it is related.
Bernie Siegel sent me an email today about today’s Heavenletter, #3212, How to Read a Heavenletter. He wrote that he agreed with today’s Heavenletter and then asked:
Did you ever ask God why He rambles on with questions and metaphors and just doesn’t make the point?
Bernie loves Heavenletters. In fact, he’s been a champion of Heavenletters, and he’s one of my heroes. But you’ve got to know that Bernie is a very-to-the-point person. His emails are terse. There have been quite a few that have been two or three words or even one! Bernie doesn’t explain. He doesn’t go round and round. Bernie gets right to the point — unlike Jonathan Kozol and me — and, apparently, God!
Yesterday’s blog entry was about right brain activity which is circular rather than linear.
So when Bernie asked his question this morning, I pertly wrote back:
God is right-brained!
Since Bernie sent me his note, I reread the Heavenletter. I kind of read it from Bernie’s eyes. I had to ask myself: “What is this Heavenletter about?”
In fact, it wasn’t at all that clear to me. It seemed to be about a lot of things, but what? Maybe what it’s about can’t be told — can’t be found and can’t be told. And if we could write a summary of it, I imagine that the heart of it would be lost.
But I could pick out lines from the Heavenletter that stirred my heart. My favorite is this:
“Where is it within you that the soul of a Heavenletter lingers?”
That one line could nourish me forever.
I started to think of ways I could describe how God’s mind works. I thought of a metaphor! But then, fortunately, I remembered God’s introduction to the Heaven book where God does quite succinctly make a clear point. And now I’ll end this blog entry with God’s Words:
The heart of what I give you in these messages is not the message itself. What you extract from My letters may be succinct and wonderful, but it is only a thimbleful of what I give you. I pour down love upon you and a certain lyric wisdom far more than any words you extract.
My messages here are far more than their message. Messages are not enough. Knowing all the messages in the world is not enough. The message I give you is more than any synopsis of it. What I give you cannot be defined. The heart of My messages cannot be contained in words. The words are peripheral to My heart. There is nothing for you to learn here but to be with Me.
Would you not sit down with Me? We do not have to speak, or We can engage in idle chatter, or We can talk in circles, or We can hit the nail on the head. What does it matter? It matters that We sit together.
We are together for the engagement of Ourselves. We sit and hold hands. That is enough. A few moments with Me goes a long way. You do not necessarily know what you take away from Our meeting.
Be My love, won’t you?
What is My message here for you today? Forget about it. Just be with Me, and allow Me to take you places. Do not sit up so straight. Do not take notes. Just rest in Me.
