GRATITUDE

Gratitude is the awareness of energy used for forward motion, whether one believes that energy has or has had a negative or a positive effect in the life course. It is giving thanks for that energy. It is understanding that without the affecting energy, the needed outcome could not be achieved, that you could not become who you are becoming.

Gratitude is not static: it is not giving thanks to the faceless for an invisible thing or condition.  Gratitude is like active prayer. To be in a state of Gratitude, you must be in a state of psychic and emotional action, understanding what is working at every level of your life to move you into the next place. Gratitude lets you see the inner workings of the Great All. It brings you to the table in the Hall of Concordance where you may look upon the living, breathing, hologram of wisdom.

Gratitude, therefore, is a system. Like calculus or astronomy, it can wear many faces and many masks. Do you have Gratitude for the rain? Does that Gratitude stand when the rain washes away the bank? Do you still have harmony with Gratitude when the rain pours in through your roof? Give thanks for the rain as it cleans the air and feeds the plants and animals, and also for the way that it calls one to action; how it shows the weak places that need shoring up.

Thank the rain for both. Do you see? The rain is rain. It may be soft or fierce, short or long, driven by soft wind or raging gale, but of itself it is neither purely this nor that. Rain falls to the Earth in a cycle. One's perception—categorizing whether its appearance and specific manifestation is good or bad, is what you are programmed, through Belief, to perceive. Always have Gratitude for the rain. (Floods and catastrophe are a matter for another discussion.)

Always have Gratitude for the sun and its day; the moon and her night; the seasons. 

These are the things that help to make up a harmonious Earth. The question is: 

What is out of balance within you and within your life,

right now, as you sit here speaking with Us?

Think of how you have divided actions into

positive and negative results. Now go deeper.

What do you uncover when you strip away

the labels and allow the Light to shine

onto the true purpose of any action?

How much blame do you attach to actions that you perceive as negative? When faced with a difficult challenge, how often do you decide to take no action at all, sure you will fail? How often do you decide that the odds are too great? That your voice is not important? That no one will help? That your contribution couldn't matter?

           

The Great All does not work against you. You are a conscious being with High goals. You innately understand the workings of this. Do not say, even to yourself, that this works against you, or that works against you. That is false, and it shows in your words, and your body language, and in your Beliefs.

Can things in this Great Eternity work against you? Yes, of course, but they are not random—they are directed by intelligent energy. Each encounter you have with challenge brings opportunity. Have Gratitude that you are Blessed with help but for the asking. Have the wisdom to ask.

And most of all:

Have Gratitude. See Gratitude. Be Gratitude.  

Operate with Gratitude and Grace follows.

Blessed Be This Day
