Heavenletter #4994 Believe in God and Yourself , July 28, 2014 

God said: 

You want to get over feeling sorry for yourself. Feeling sorry for yourself is feeling sorrow. Sorrow comes from a sense of lack or even betrayal. Something was taken from you. Something was denied you, or never given to you, or was stolen from you. And so you make yourself a victim of a theft. You don’t want to do this. No matter what, you don’t want to do this to yourself or to anyone else. This is what feeling sorry does. It is an insult. It is not a good way of thinking, and it is not a good way of feeling.
 
You don’t want to imbue yourself with the idea that you are an unfortunate. Regardless of your situation, regardless of how dire your situation may seem to you and to the world, you don’t want to publically bet your money on the wrong horse. Your mind becomes a defeated nag, and you back up that nag. You don’t want to broadcast that you choose sniveling. What good does that do you?
 
If your income is reduced, why proclaim that you are not worth a cup of coffee any longer. The money in your pocket is not your worth. You don’t have to spend foolishly, yet you don’t have to demonstrate your sense of lack and declare to the Universe that you are not worth a dime any longer.
 
How you talk about yourself is how you project. It is as if you say to the Universe, “I am worth so little. I am not worth much at all.” The Universe hears this impartially and responds in kind.
 
Even if you are down to your last dime, you don’t want to project this. You have resources at your disposal. You have heart and mind. Have a modicum of faith in yourself. Bet on yourself. Give away your last dime, and see it multiply.
 
Don’t give solely from a motivation to gain. That makes you someone who trades, not a giver. The same giving when you give to give or give to shore up your bank account may well not bring the same result. Give to give and not to get. Give to give, and you open up gates within yourself. You open channels within yourself. An idea will come. Something will change. Belief in yourself may require some urging from you. Belief in yourself and belief in Me are two things you want and are two sides of the same coin.
 
You can know ahead of time that I am betting on you. Live as a hero and not a victim. Be a bright light on Earth and light up others.
 
If you are discouraged, you don’t have to tell the world, because how the world sees you also makes its impression upon you.
 
Imagine all the criss-crossing of thoughts and energy that go on. Imagine all the traffic. Direct traffic the way you want it to go. Say Yes to yourself. If you want a green light, give out a green light.
 
You cannot fairly judge your life and your worth on a segment of your life. You carry your life with you. Of course, beyond a doubt, stay on the sunny side of life. Why would you ever want to be on the shady side. If you choose the shady side, why would you broadcast it? Why would you call yourself to attention that doesn’t benefit you? Why would you indicate: “Look, see me. See how downtrodden I am. Misery follows me.” And then you wipe a tear to demonstrate your condition.
 
No more, beloveds. Send out different signals. They will be heard and resound as well. Stand tall, and you will be standing tall.

Urantia, June 14, 2014 (date of transcription). 
Teacher: The Beloved One. 
Subject: “Just Come With an Open Heart and Mind.” 

Received by Lytske. 

The Beloved One: “Open your heart and mind to the Creator, but do not expect anything. Be as a newborn baby; not expecting anything and yet trusting that everything will be there to satisfy all needs. This is the utmost trust a mortal can show the Creator: To become as a small child, washing itself clean in order to be presentable to its grandparents, who would accept him or her anyway, as they love the child unconditionally. 

“Why am I beginning today’s lesson like this, you wonder? Well this is a good introduction to expectation, because I desire for you to grasp as well as possible at your level of understanding, how God sees His children. There is an innate need for every little one to be understood, and to feel safe and secure in its own environment. Every child should be able to expect this safety and security. 

“However, life on this planet is far from ideal and in need of correction. What if a child has been denied this safety and security? At these earliest tender moments in life, when it ought to feel wanted and welcomed, already its concept of trust is being warped and unhappiness ensues. Every little one has the right to feel wanted and safe, otherwise its co-x matrix (core of being) begins to grow out of balance and the child will begin to fight for its needs and wants. 

“Expectation, and glad anticipation that something wonderful is going to happen, is the eternal hope which can spring up in the human heart. It is one of those hidden gifts, which through negative circumstances gets pushed into the back of the mind. It becomes difficult to retrieve so blockages begin to form deep within the human psyche, and people forget what pure hope feels like, what pure expectation feels like, and how to look forward to the days ahead with glad anticipation. 

“Life has become mundane because they expect life to be humdrum. So they spice up their life and look for outward entertainment with which to keep their minds busy, and they forget their own inner world and richness of thought. Even tiny ones are already placed in front of the television and other forms of amusement, so certain areas in their minds close off to inner exploration and inventiveness, because they are being entertained rather than learning to entertain themselves. 

“I point this out in the hope that you realize how extremely vital brain development is and how important it is to make those early connections in the mind. Synapses wither and die when not used through active thinking and so the child-like hope, trust and expectations are not given much of a chance to develop correctly. 

“Therefore, it has become even more important to turn within into the Silence and learn to listen without expectation, to just come with an open heart and mind, and to strengthen their own connection they have with their God within.”

What is Satyam? 
God is truth. He can be realised only by speaking truth and observing truth in thought, word and deed. Truthfulness, equal vision, self-control, absence of envious emulation, forgiveness, modesty, endurance, absence of jealousy, charity, thoughtfulness, disinterested philanthropy, self-possession and unceasing and compassionate harmlessness are the thirteen forms of truth. Your thoughts should agree with your words and your words should agree with your actions. To think of one thing, say another and do a third is horrible - it is nothing but crookedness. By telling lies you pollute your conscience and infect your subconscious mind. The habit of telling lies will be carried on to your next birth and you will suffer in birth after birth. Have you ever thought of this?
If you are established in truth, all other virtues will cling to you. Penetrate more deeply into the kingdom of truth. Sacrifice your all for the truth. Die for the truth. Speak the truth. Truth is life and power. Truth is existence. Truth is knowledge. Truth is bliss. Truth is silence. Truth is peace. Truth is light. Truth is love. Live to realise the truth.
Truth is the law of life. Truth means the strength of will to abide by positive principles  a sense of justice, an unbiased mind and recognition of its subtle essence in all life. Truth is like a ladder leading to heaven, or a boat enabling one to cross the ocean of misery. Speak the truth, but let it not be unpleasant and speak not of any pleasing falsehood - this is eternal religion.
Fire burns everything; it is true to its nature. Water flows from a higher level; the seed sprouts and becomes a tree; the scorpion stings; these are all true to their nature. This is satyam. But man violates truth; he is ungrateful. He is not true to his essential nature. Wife poisons the husband; sons are not filial towards their fathers; sons murder their parents; this is not truth. To manifest one's essential divine nature, to manifest divine virtues is satyam or truth. To be true to one's own Self is satyam.
- - - - -
A truthful man is free from worry and anxiety, he has a calm mind. He is respected by society. If you speak the truth for twelve years you will get vak siddhi - then whatever you speak will come to pass. There will be great power in your speech - you will be able to influence thousands.
