This is the one. I wonder if I would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out! There is a better kind of memory than conscious recollection. God bless you, Jochen. Yes! This is the one.

It sure emphasizes the point you wanted to make on "this impartial part of me" and on God "working on us". It all fits together now. "Conscious recollection" it seems, isn't needed much. It all happens in stillness. Dear Gloria, the Heavenletter™ you were looking for, on “Stillness”, came up today, July 4.

Ho Ho! Drive with me sometimes and listen to my reaction at some stupid drivers. I smile shortly afterwards but Mieke always mentions "Stop, road rage",not a comment that sits well with me. I am getting better though and older as well so not a lot of things get me riled anymore. I even shrug my shoulders now at politicians squabbling. No I am not there yet otherwise I would not be here anymore. Love you all Jack Dear Pam and Gloria,

In this case, I searched for "watcher", using the blue searchbox because it allows a quick overview of the results.

Where do you find such wonderful words -- I mean, how do you find them and how rich they are. And thank you so much. So, the HL I was looking for is not the first time God has discussed this very thing. Seriously, how do you find them? Do you enter key words? What, for example? Oh, Jochen!

But since I ran a search for "watcher", let me at least add one of the more interesting finds: "And so Truth dawns on you. You are an observer of it. It just comes over the horizon at the particular moment you are right there watching. You are a watcher. Perhaps you are in a supermarket, and you look around, and something seems different from what it was a moment ago. Everything is the same except you are not the same. Your vision is changed. There is a dimensionlessness that you see. It is as though you have a glimpse of the fleetingness of time at the same moment you glimpse the glory of Eternity. Time stands still. You see timelessness. It is like you are staring, and you cannot stop staring. Your gaze is simple, and yet it is momentous. Your hand is still on the cart. You are in the supermarket, yet that which was always ordinary has become uncanny because you are aware that you occupy the universe and no place else. Suddenly, all that has been familiar to you all your life is the oddity. Suddenly the Unknown is known, or almost known, and you are at Home with it. You experience the Reality of Eternity, and it is the mundane that has become far-fetched. It is the mundane that is unbelievable. Somehow a curtain on the mundane has been pulled aside, and you see it idly as it is. And yet, this ray of light is only a moment of experience. The movie that was stilled for a moment starts playing again, and you push your cart and you shop, and everything is the same except you are not the same. Once again, you have almost forgotten that which is memorable. Once again, you are caught up in a movie, and yet the movie did give you pause. For a moment, you were distracted from distraction and saw the silence of life in the midst of supermarket activity."

It doesn't matter where your body is, and it doesn't matter where your mind is. I am totally absolutely right here with you. I am as near to you as your breath. We are so vital and vibrant to each other. We are the same breath. Who breathes your lungs in and out, you or I? Who can separate Us? Neither you nor I.</blockquote> Anger is a defense mechanism of fear. From this morning’s Heavenletter…

Beloveds, you live in many worlds. It doesn’t matter where your body is, and it doesn’t matter where your mind is. I am totally absolutely right here with you. I am as near to you as your breath. We are so vital and vibrant to each other. We are the same breath. Who breathes your lungs in and out, you or I? Who can separate Us? Neither you nor I.

Anger is a defense mechanism of fear.

I am sure that anger (no matter how justified!) is pure ego through and through. Probably God has said that somewhere too.

What I call, "fake it 'til you make it." It's the situations that make you count to 10, or, as I do now, repeat "I am as Godde created me" until I have control of myself. The funny thing is, there's that "watcher" you talk about who actually helps me make the choice! The onlooker who, as you say, is the bridge between ego and spirit. Doesn't really feel like the higher self--feels like the in-between that helps me to make the choice to stay calm when I really feel like blasting away at someone. To "act as if" I were the calm, loving person I want to be when I feel like being a world-class B****. Seems to be what Jack does naturally. Me, I have to listen to that onlooker/watcher who reminds me that it's my choice how to be.
