THANKSGIVING & GRATITUDE ARE UPON US SO I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SHARE MORE INFORMATION AND QUOTES WITH A SONG OR TWO
Robert Emmons and other researchers have shown that Gratitude is a profound form of spiritual practice leading to joy, happiness and other wonderful attributes.
His research involved the following exercises:
The results were astounding:
The Ancestors appreciate gratitude as does the Creator.
The Ancestors also say;
"we are all one - though not the same."
All of us are made in the image of the Divine. God does not play favorites - but karma rules. As in Namaste - I see the Divine in you. These tenets are cause alone for gratitude.
In order for this to be fully actualized and not just be an intellectual construct we need to define and practice our God given gift that no-one else has and no-one else can manifest - our own unique archetype.
This might require keeping our day job that pays the rent and developing this skill outside of our livelihood (or retirement.)
Gratitude is spiritual practice but being in contact with who we truly are also leads to gratitude.
There is no light without dark - no rose without a thorn and hence grief, sadness and struggle must be part of the human condition. Without conflict there can be no change, no progress. Hence we must embrace and even have gratitude for the pain when it comes but acknowledge that;
pain is inevitable, suffering optional.
pain is inevitable, suffering optional.
We are never alone and although we may not see, hear or feel them, our spirit guides are always with us. But because of free will -
we must ask to receive!
The way we reciprocate is with love, forgiveness and gratitude, best done done in the form of ritual and with the help of an altar.
(The video on connecting with spirit guides is still up on the web site for those who missed it. The recent two on Kundalini - the primal transformational energy of the universe will be up very soon. These are three key videos to connect with Self, Spirit, Gratitude and our destiny.)
