Love is the Panacea
He who has no love cannot know God - for God is love. Love is the greatest force in this world. Love is immortal. Love is God. Where love is there God is. Therefore become an embodiment of love. Love is God. Love is light. Light is wisdom. Wisdom is divine life - it is oneness, unity.
The deeper a man's love of God is, the greater is his spiritual knowledge. The final consummation of the love of God is union with God. Love of God is not easily acquired by self-effort - it is inborn in man by virtue of his spiritual evolution.
Love God alone. Be detached and renounce everything for the sake of love of God. Cosmic love expects not any reward. It excludes none but includes all. Develop more and more pure divine love. Then the inner light will shine more brightly. Cultivate divine love. This selfless love is a great treasure - a pearl of great price.
Cultivate an abiding faith in God's love, mercy and grace. The lover himself becomes the beloved of his heart. Their love is so deep and intense that they merge in each other and then again reemerge. They are the two inseparable aspects of the one.
Love envies not. Love resents not. Love revenges not. Love bargains not. God in his boundless love and mercy promptly chastises proud and arrogant persons, thus paving the way for a return to humility. 
God reveals himself daily to every human being - but man shuts his eyes and does not see Him. Infinite is God. Infinite are His aspects and infinite are the ways to reach Him. The divine being is a living reality, a powerful presence that responds to our prayers, an all pervading delight of existence that sustains our life.
Find God within yourself in silence.
- - -
Love is the cure for all evil. The power of love can transform the universe which is fettered in chains of hatred. Love is all purifying and all redeeming. Love is the greatest purifying force in the world. Love is the greatest creative force in the world.

To Love Man is to Love God
To love man is to love God alone. Man is the true image of God. He is His amsa (part). In the Gita you will find: "A portion of mine own self, transformed in the world of life into an immortal spirit, draweth around itself the senses, of which the mind is the sixth, veiled in matter." (Chapter XV - 7.) And: "Knowledge of sacrifice (adhiyajna) speaks of Me as wearing the body, O best of living beings." (Chapter VIII - 4.)
Love is the fulfilling of the law. The aim of charity social service, altruism, humanitarianism, and so many other 'isms', is to develop this universal love, to expand one's heart ad infinitum. Theosophy speaks of universal brotherhood and tries to unite all through the common thread of cosmic love. Love is a great leveller. There is no power on earth greater than love. You can conquer this world even if you have one ray of this divine commodity which is absolutely free from even a tinge of selfishness. Pure love is a rare gift of God. It is the fruit of one's untiring service of humanity and incalculable virtuous actions in several incarnations. It is rare indeed.
He who possesses even a ray of this is a veritable God on earth. He is a mighty potentate. St. Paul says: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and if I have not love, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing."
True religion does not consist in religious observances, baths and pilgrimages but in loving all. Cosmic love is all embracing and all inclusive. In pure love no one is shut out from its warm embrace. It is wide enough to include the humblest of us, from the tiny ant to the mighty elephant, from the condemned prisoner to the mighty emperor, from the worst scoundrel on the surface of the earth, to the reputed saint.
It is hatred that separates man from man, nation from nation, country from country. It is pride and egoism that divide one man from another man. Hatred, pride, egoism all are mental creations   the products of ignorance only. They cannot stand before pure love. Just as darkness is dispelled by the penetrating rays of the burning sun, so also jealousy, hatred and egoism are dispelled by the rays of divine love.

Heavenletter #5275 Be like the Ocean, May 5, 2015

God said:

Much of the time you are using a microscope in your view of life on Earth. Incorporate a telescope into your vision. Add to your view. Take a look at the big picture. Look at a wide swath of life. You will gain greater insight. You will not be so caught up with one portion of life. You will gain greater insight and a greater outlook and vision.

It is not the end of the world when your child flunks a test. Surely, you must know that. Yet, in your household, what you make of a flunked test may be seriously disproportional. You may make way too much of it. It’s unwise to make too much of anything.

This is what most of My children on Earth are doing all the time. Oh, that scratch on your new car. That car, no matter how beautiful and new as it is now, is going to wind up in a junk yard. How world-shaking is that scratch now really? If you want to be upset by something, there are bigger fish to fry.

Please understand. When I say, even when you are on the verge of your body’s dying, I mean to put it all in place for you. It’s not really the big deal it so overwhelmingly seems to be. I am not diminishing your feelings. Death simply isn’t the tragedy everyone thinks it is. Nothing tragic has happened. That something is tragic is your idea. That you don’t want this to happen, I am well aware.

However, dying is an everyday occurrence. No one avoids it. There is no other option. Of course, I am restating that there is no death except of the body. You are immortal. Immortality is yours, but not your body’s. Most of the time, you equate yourself with your body.

It cannot even be said that dreams die. How do you know? Because a dream hasn’t come true yet, or in this lifetime, doesn’t mean it’s all over and will never come true. How would you know that dreams aren’t coming true all the time?

The disappearance of the body that heretofore has been carrying you around is horrendous to you. Sometimes even worse, is the tagged death of a loved one. Suffering seems to be long-lived.

I say it again and again. Love stays. Love isn’t going anywhere. The worst thing that can happen to you is that you wind up in Heaven with Me. What makes it tragic, beloveds, is your attachment. Attachment is the big addiction. It is the greatest cause of unhappiness. It may be the only cause. There is a widespread epidemic of attachment. Remind yourself that love does not attach. Love does not possess in the first place. Everything here on Earth is on loan.

Be like the Ocean. In Reality, you are indeed like the Ocean. The tide comes in, and the tide goes out. The Ocean doesn’t mind. Waves come in, and waves go out. The Ocean doesn’t cry about it. The Ocean is Ocean regardless. The Ocean doesn’t believe that its waves must stay in one place. The waves go out and play. The waves rise, and the waves recede. The Ocean doesn’t see anything the matter with that.

Therefore, the Ocean doesn’t demand from life and try to change it. The Ocean lets life be. The Ocean loves to feel the warmth of the Sun and the cool of the Moon. The Ocean doesn’t struggle. In your terms, the Ocean doesn’t fight back. The Ocean doesn’t see anything to fight back about. Even when the wind makes the Ocean’s waves tumultuous, the Ocean isn’t perturbed. The Ocean stays innocent. The Ocean knows the tumult will cease, and, regardless, the Ocean is the Ocean the same as ever.

Be like the Ocean, for, in Truth, you are That.

Heavenletter #5276 As You Rise in Life, May 6, 2015

God said:

Naturally, it is to your advantage to turn your attention away from spending time wondering and worrying about how you feel. In your life, come to the non-space where you are not looking at yourself so much and defining how you feel at a given moment. Instead, alive on Earth, you will serve. You will serve as easily as you breathe.

Being good-natured is a way of serving. Being content is a way of serving. Content means not demanding more than what this moment gives you. You are not thinking that you are missing out and have to have more than what this moment offers. You are fully served regardless.

When you are in the stream of life, you’re not thinking past or future. You are not even thinking now. You are alive now. Being alive doesn’t mean thinking about yourself - your perceived self at the moment. As you rise in life, you are not so aware of your individual self. You are not so entranced with yourself.

Now, it’s likely you’re thinking about how you are and how you feel or you are predicting about how you will feel and all the possible pitfalls before you. You are likely focused on possible risks rather than possible blessings.

How you may feel and who you are can be pretty much counted on not to be compatible - almost assuredly won’t be compatible. Who you are is not the same as how you feel. Would you ask Me, God, how I feel? “God, how are Ya feeling today? What problems are Ya working on?”

How I am feeling is not a question I would dream of asking Myself. It would be a waste of My time – do you see that? Of course, I am not caught in time. I do not time Myself or glance at My watch. I, Who am without form, do not have an arm to put a watch on or a pocket to put a fob in. Do you see the advantage of this? I am clearly outside the arena of time and of space.

Without time and space, life is a cinch. For the moment, I will call living without time and space as a Great Comforter. How balanced you would be if you, too, were not enmeshed in time and space, yet you are, and I confess, I did this. Naturally, you would not walk in front of a train. You don’t want to fall down stairs or bump into a wall. At the same time, you are clear that time and space are boundaries. No matter how charming boundaries may be, boundaries bind you.

There will come the time when you manage the boundaries of space and time while you are not caught up in them and, therefore, are not hampered. Heretofore, you have been hampered. Now, you are coming closer to the time when you will know you are in a room with four walls. You will obey boundaries and, yet, not be caught up in them. You manage them, and you live far beyond them. You live in a greater magnitude which also exists here on Earth before you.

In the world, you will make appointments and follow them. In the world, you will give your word and mean it. You will use your brakes in a car when you drive. You will stop at stop lights. You are not a renegade at the same time as you are not handcuffed and limited to all the boundaries. You are free regardless. You know the time and space boundaries – are there any others than those? – and they won’t squeeze you. You won’t bump into walls, yet you are not confined by them. You will be living in a bigger world that is dimensionless.

Your attention will lift you higher. Then it can be said that your mind leaps over tall buildings.

Oregon, US of A.
Unknown Teacher.
Subject: “The Intention of the Heart.”

Message received by Anyas.

Teacher:
“Dear one, as you focus on the love you feel for Me and send it upward as an offering, I receive it with joy and tearful eyes. Your love is like the pretty little daisy that you used to pick as a child and give to your mother or grandmother. That simple gesture and intention is all that it took to tug at their heartstrings and lead them to give you a kiss.

“It is not the value of the gift, but the intention of the heart that matters. Indeed, gifts should only be love messengers. A compassionate word, a caring smile, eye contact … all these are precious gifts to the one in need of this human contact, for the one in need to know that he/she does matter. The feeling of separation, of loneliness, is such an unwanted feeling which drives many to acts of despair, as neither man nor woman were created to be alone.

“The Father and His Sons are all about connections and the mortals of the realm have so many lines of communication being placed at their disposal if only they would identify them and put them to good use by expressing their desire to do so. All it takes is wanting it and allowing it to happen — as relationships are only meaningful and precious if no coercion whatsoever is involved in the process.

“Be the agent of change you want to be and you yourself will be transformed before you can help others in their own transformation. You have to experience your own rebirth in order to become the ‘midwife’ of others’ rebirth. Only those who know
what they are talking about are credible and their words are not met with suspicion. Authenticity can never be faked. This is why it is so important in the rebirth process of the planet that genuine human beings take the lead.

“As others recognize that they are worthy of their trust, power will be added to the process and good results will become visible to all eyes. Each life is meant to be a masterpiece; each life — due to the unique gifts and personality of its owner — can be transformative and inspiring to someone else’s life. Do not be mere copycats or plagiarists as it is only rehashing what is already known. Be innovators and groundbreakers so that many can stand on that foundation and be inspired to take their own leap of faith.”

Illawarra District, Australia.
Secondary Midwayer Sharmon (MNO-6).
Subject: “The Need for Worldwide Control” —
(This is merely the essence of the transmission).

Message received by George Barnard.

George:
“It’s so good to hear from you, young lady. We know we’re not the only ones by far to keep you busy, but it’s good to have you close again. You know how I feel, personally.”

Sharmon:
“We all know how you feel and how you labor to make ‘addicts’ of as many siblings as you can with the spiritual elixir of the Correcting Time. I have come to you this time specifically to talk with you all about greed, about having everything, and what it can do to those who are high up in government … those whom some call ‘the elite.’

“More so than at most times, but in this present economic cycle on our planet, there are many groups that are greatly addicted to wealth and power, control over others and the false security that it brings. False security, you may ask? Certainly, for in the tank they swim in there are many predators — some bigger, some smaller, some faster, some fiercer — yet none but a few would survive in the end to then live a life of fear, vulnerability and loneliness.

“It is important for you to progress during this Time of Correction and it will not ‘fare you well’ to be utterly uninformed of the trap that is set for you whilst you must work long hours for your provisions and whilst worldwide you are, each of you, courted to enjoy your entertainments in the few hard-won hours that are left.

“Snooze and you lose to the wolf, my friends. So important is this supposed need for worldwide control to some, they will consider a preventative attack with the most awful of weapons. What I am describing here is insanity. There is no conceivable way that there can be progress of minds, yes of intellect, of general physical health, of spirit or soul should you be forced to endure a widespread series of attacks wherever it might be on the planet. There will be left no place of safety, no place of ease.

“Those who seem to so desperately require the ownership of all goods that rightly belong to everyone must be discouraged and the most powerful means open to you is prayer. Those who seem to so greedily want to relieve you of your freedom, free will and peace of mind must be stopped, yet at this point only prayer can effectively change the direction in which our world is moving. We stand by, but we tire of picking up the pieces.”

PRAYER:
“Father Creator, we know there is no one in all the wide universes who understands like You do how human greed and hubris have brought so many beyond the safety of sanity. We understand on our part that the deeply hidden fear of future irrelevance instead of power and control is the driving force behind the perceived need for yet another world war. We humans together with your Midwayers and Angels ask You to so affect the future that war will be averted and peace will reign. Amen.”

Receiver’s note: ‘Snooze and you lose to the wolf’ might well hint at the Wolfowitz doctrine.
