The Power of Your Gaze: A Heavenly Invitation

In a world filled with distractions and noise, it’s easy to overlook the subtle yet profound presence of the divine. A recent Heavenletter, “Your Gaze,” shared on the Rainbow Wave of Light blog, offers a poignant reminder that God is always present, waiting to be noticed. The letter, originally published on March 2, 2001, as Heavenletter #124, presents a gentle yet powerful invitation to redirect our attention towards the divine.

The letter begins by emphasizing the ease with which we can know God, yet often miss the opportunity due to our conditioning to expect something more dramatic or attention-grabbing. God says, “I come not as a parade. No tubas announce Me. No tumblers. No baton-twirler. It’s just I am here. Not suddenly. Just finally noticed.” This subtle presence is not something to be taken lightly, for it is in the stillness and quiet that we are most likely to perceive the divine.

The Heavenletter encourages us to look beyond the surface level, to gaze into the distance, and to focus on the center of the “clear pool with eddies.” This metaphor reminds us that while the world around us may be turbulent and distracting, the center remains still and calm. By focusing on this center, our vision expands, and we begin to see beyond the ephemeral nature of the world.

One of the most striking aspects of this Heavenletter is the notion that we are “signaler[s] of God” and that our presence announces the divine presence. This understanding empowers us to recognize our role in heralding the divine to others, whether we are aware of it or not. Our gaze, whether directed towards or away from God, has an impact on those around us.

The letter also cautions against being overly active and encourages us to create space for the divine to enter. In a world that often values busyness and productivity, this message is a timely reminder that stillness and quiet contemplation are essential for perceiving the divine. By making room for God, we allow ourselves to be found by the divine, rather than passing it by in our haste.

The imagery of building on the periphery versus the center of the pool is a powerful metaphor for the choices we make in life. When we focus on the turbulent eddies, we build on shifting water, whereas building on the still center offers permanence. God offers us wholeness, a cup overflowing with love, and the quenching of our thirst. The choice is ours: to continue seeking fleeting satisfaction or to drink from the pure water of divine love.

The invitation extended in “Your Gaze” is clear: to come to the still waters of God’s love, to drink, and to know the satisfaction that comes from it. As we reflect on this Heavenletter, we are reminded that God’s love is simple, yet profound, and that it is always available to us. Will we take the time to gaze into the distance, to focus on the center, and to drink from the cup of divine love? The choice is ours, and the reward is worth the effort.

God said:

I am the Truthsayer. Be you the Truth-hearer. Be you the quiet listener.

It is so easy to know Me. It is so easy you pass it by. You are used to difficult.

I come not as a parade. No tubas announce Me. No tumblers. No baton-twirler. It’s just I am here. Not suddenly. Just finally noticed.

No signal-flares go off. The sun does not suddenly descend. Its light has always been upon you. When you want to see Heaven, you just have to look up. Look far and look high, and you see Heaven. I am there, here. Look close, and I am in closeness also.

Cast a glance My way. It is not My attention that you have to catch. It is yours.

There are no signal-flares of Me on earth, but I am on earth, and there are signals of Me. You are one of them.

You are a signaler of God. You herald Me. You announce Me. Your presence announces My presence.

You are a great teacher of Me. One way or the other, you teach the world about something more, something better, something worth knowing. Your eyes teach Me to others. Even when you look away from Me, you are teaching others that something grand is there that you look away from.

But why look away? Look at Me. Do not be afraid. I am not to be afraid of. I am to be loved of.

When your eyes gaze into the distance you-know-not-where, you are gazing at Me. You are gazing at the possibility of Me. Your gaze has gone past the details of the world. You are not seeing something. You are seeing. We could say you are seeing sight. Sight-awareness.

Be not so active. Leave some space for Me to enter. True, I am everywhere. I am even in hustle-bustle, but more likely it is in stillness that you will notice Me. Make room for Me. Somehow when you make a mad-dash for God, you pass Me by. It is not My wish to escape you. It is My wish to be found by you.

I am the center of a clear pool with eddies. Let your eyes focus on the center and not the moving eddies. Stare at the center, and your vision expands. Your eyes are still, and they see indefinitely. It is not that you hypnotize yourself by looking at the center. You have hypnotized yourself by looking at the eddying of the pool.

You can look at the eddies. You can build yourself a house there, but then you have a house built on shifting water. Build in the center of the stillness of the pool, and you have permanence. Well, you have permanence wherever you build whether you know it or not. But when you build on the periphery, you are like someone who fills a paper cup with a hole in it with water over and over again, and the water slips away, and you become a perpetual filler of escaping water.

I offer you wholeness. I offer you a cup overflowing. I offer you the quenching of thirst. Would you really prefer the thirst to the quenching of it?

Drink the water of My love. It satisfies like no other drink. And I hold it for you.

Come to the still waters of My love. My simple love. I ask that you drink it. I put it to your lips, but you must drink. I can offer and offer. I do offer and offer, but I cannot drink for you. I cannot accept for you the pure water of love that I surround you with. Drink of it so you know you drink of it. Drink of it so you know your lips are not parched. Come here and drink of My love.
