Your Book Title

If I were my old self and someone else wrote Heavenletters and I subscribed, I wonder if I would ever post on the forum and blog. I wonder. I used to keep most of my thoughts to myself. I don’t think I even knew what I was thinking and feeling much of the time. I was such a very private person, I even hid from myself!

And now I blab everything and ask everyone to do the same! How I love public emails.

To me, the blog and forum are kinda like sitting around the camp fire and smoking a peace pipe.

To give you an idea of how isolated I once was:

For many years, I thought that if I ever wrote a novel or the story of my life, I would call it Now the Loneliness. That is a line from an ancient Haiku poem. Sorry, I forget which one.

At the present time, if I were to write a novel or autobiography, I would take a line from one of the Haiku poems Karen makes from Heavenletters. Maybe my book title would be Let Life Be a Song. That’s from Karen’s Haiku from #2490 In the Name of God.

If you were going to choose a title for the story of your life from a Heavenletter, what might the title of your book be?

Hello Gloria!

This was fun to do because there’s so many Heavenletters to choose from. Here are my two runners-up:

From “Heavenletter 2476 When Your Words Come From Your Heart” - “Speak Simply and Listen”

From “Heavenletter 2512 Play Day” - “Make Every Day Sunday”

But my choice as the ONE for me is the title from Heavenletter 2515 “Out of the Forest into the Light”

This has truly been and still is my life’s journey. I know the forest is supposed to be a metaphor for life as we make our way through it. Sometimes we walk the same trails over and over because we’re drawn to the scenery or the familiarity of it. Sometimes we just wander around in awe or confusion. Sometimes we break new trails. Sometimes we know exactly where we’re going and choose the trail that gets us there. And sometimes we’re just lost. I was lost for a long time until I finally asked God to show me the way. That’s how I found the internet trail to Heavenletters. Now I have a spot in the forest where the light filters through and brings me clarity, awareness and hope. That’s what Heavenletters means to me.

And although this Heavenletter is supposed to be a metaphor, it’s real life for me. As you know, I actually do live in the Hawaiian rainforest and am surrounded on all sides by 30 foot tall guavi and hapu’u ferns. Yet everyday I am out of the Forest into the Light when I read the daily Heavenletter. And I’m so grateful. Thank you Gloria!

Love, Light and Aloha,
Karen

Before I add my ‘title to the book of my life’, I want to say how touched I am by Karen’s response.

Karen, your metaphor of life, of the forest and its trails and the journeys through it, is so well expressed, to the point that I relate to much of it. I admire your facility with words and thoughts expressed in all of your Haiku poems that you share with us so generously. You are a light in the forest!

Gloria, what a good question you put out there! It makes one ponder and have a good look at what one’s life journey is all about. It made me also, look through all the Heavenletters that I have received so far. There is one that jumped at me and that is:
“It’s Only a Movie�? (HEAVEN #2426). That is an idea that I have adopted a while ago and have to remind myself from time to time. The reality that we think is real actually isn’t, only the Beingness in Oneness is. Some call our life journey’s a ‘Game’ and that reminds me of a movie called “The Game�? with Michael Douglas. It is a thriller, where you question what is real and what is part of the game until the end.

Much love to both of you,
Xenia

This is a great topic. Some years ago the story of my life would have been entitled ‘Hundred years of Solitude’(like the novel by Garcia Marquez; I don’t know the exact title in English). So it would have been very much like the novel on your life, Gloria.

But now I would entitle my book, ‘I AM GOD’, from Heavenletter #2508, From the Heart of God. And I wouldn’t mind upsetting people with it.

With unconditional love,
Paula

Wow, what marvelous postings all are !!!!
Dear Gloria, this is a WONDERFUL question. years ago I was all bottled up and would never write so openly and with my heart in my hand like I do today. I felt so insuitable and not to fit in with society and anyone. a book in that period would have as title “Must we really go through all this in life?”

Now, I immediately thought of Heaven 2316 “Now we see the Ocean” because now I really see the Ocean of Love and I am thankful to be here right now in this amazing game called life.

Thank you for sharing.
With love and gratitude to all
Berit

Now I really don’t know what title to choose!

“Now we see the Ocean…” I love it!

“I AM GOD…” Can’t beat that one!

And Karen’s “Out of the Forest into the Light…�?

I love the joy of discovering that you live in the rain forest, Karen!

Here’s what I think: We all have to write a lot of books so we use up all these great titles!

P.S. I must add Xenia’s “It’s only a movie..” That’s perfect!

Canim Gloria,

If I was going to choose a title for the story of MY life from a Heavenletter,I might have not been able to choose but simply called it “WHOLE HEAVEN STORY”.

I was in a cage, I used pay lots of money and time for the courses and lectures about enlightment and various methods. I used follow Gurus, ashrams, masters, teachings within the Enlightment Market, I used to meditate sometimes during the all day and yet I was not able to be happy and I was not able to get rid of deppresive moods etc.. I was looking for something, something that I can not define!

Heavenletters was the tool and method and master and Guru and everything that I have been looking for, for years and years. I have found it. I am sooooo happy. So happy.

I thank you infinitely many many times that you are with us :thumbup:

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

Great answers … I think for me #2404, Meeting Yourself, would be the book. That little reminder stays with me that when I judge, I judge myself. That if I feel a need to judge, I’d better look to see inside.

Karen’s metaphor and reality was so beautifully put–how she lives what is a metaphor to many of us. Karen, I look forward to your Haiku’s.

I read with such interest Paula, Berit’s and Engin’s comments as well. So many shared isolations. How freeing Heavenletters has been.

These are not all airy-fairy, sweetness and light kinds of people. These are people have faced deep depression, isolation, loneliness. Who have very real 3-D money and family problems or issues. Yet, through this forum and through sharing the strength to face and overcome these problems with love and grace, most everyone can connect and learn. To learn that there there really are no problems with Godde’s love … only human experiences … and that it is our choice how we experience this existence, this to me is the hugest lesson of all.

First, let me say I sure wish you had been my middle school teacher, Gloria! What a terrific activity you assigned. Next I am amazed that your title many years ago would have been “Now the Loneliness”. I cannot imagine you ever being lonely or isolated. How far we all travel! Gosh, my title would change and just keep changing - and amazingly, there’s a Heavenletter quote for each transition. Right now my title would be “The Heart is the Guiding Light.” from Nov. 19, 2006.
