| A Horse of Course |
I had a big awareness yesterday in regards to gratitude. Perhaps everyone else understood this, but I just 'got it,' so I thought that I would share.
We often are being told to 'give thanks before you've received something' 'ask and give gratitude like you already have it.' I never understood the concept, perhaps because it is not explained.
We give gratitude before, as we have faith and trust completely that our 'wish' is on its way to us. It is based on my theory that fear and faith cannot co-exist and I just recognized this!
'I am because we are.' 'How can we be happy when others are sad?'
My second mindful morningness. Too much in the world has been so sad of late. Responses to Donald Trumps entering the Presidency race have made this more so for me. Why has being rich in money become the most important part of our existence. It's not even about being rich, it's about being the richest. I am all for the experience of making money and enjoying life's finest experiences. But we have to look at the cost. Of what we have lost or left behind. There is little integrity of product or production, as long as we close our eyes, we won't see, therefore, know, what is going on. We are loosing much of what being human is, just for profit margins.
I do know that I am a dreamer... I only hope for a Balance. and Happiness... is that too much? And then I am brought back to Lesson 31. Life is Grand♡
A Course in Miracles, Lesson 31~ I am not the victim of the world I see.
Today's idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. Again, the idea should be applied to both the world you see without and the world you see within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of practice which will be used more and more, with changes as indicated.
Generally speaking, the form includes two aspects, one in which you apply the idea on a more
sustained basis, and the other consisting of frequent applications of the idea throughout the day.
Two longer periods of practice with the idea for today are needed, one in the morning and one at night. Three to five minutes for each of these are recommended. During that time, look about you slowly while repeating the idea two or three times. Then close your eyes, and apply the same idea to your inner world. You will escape from both together, for the inner is the cause of the outer.
As you survey your inner world, merely let whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your awareness, each to be considered for a moment, and then replaced by the next. Try not to establish any kind of hierarchy among them. Watch them come and go as dispassionately as possible. Do not dwell on any one in particular, but try to let the stream move on evenly and calmly, without any special investment on your part. As you sit and quietly watch your thoughts, repeat today's idea to yourself as often as you care to, but with no sense of hurry.
In addition, repeat the idea for today as often as possible during the day. Remind yourself that you are making a declaration of independence in the name of your own freedom. And in your freedom lies the freedom of the world.
How Grand Live Is... Have a beautiful day♡LoriLynn♡
