"What you choose to be, be. That's it. It's that simple."

EXCEPT:

1) the YOU that chooses how or what to be is EGOIC
2) what it chooses will have its elements of egoic
strategy and preference
3) You can, of course, propose directions, but in the
end, in a given moment, you cannot choose to be
any particular way. You can only choose or not choose
to surrender to God in that moment.

4) Then you just ARE

Namaste!

Jim

Appreciation and Thankfullness....

>>The correct prayer is therefore never a prayer of supplication, but a prayer of gratitude.

When you thank God in advance for that which you choose to experience in your reality, you, in effect, acknowledge that it is there...in effect. Thankfulness is thus the most powerful statement to God; an affirmation that even before you ask, I have answered.

Therefore never supplicate, appreciate."

(Quoted from CWG Book 1, p. 11) >>

The attitude of "being thankful" is the essence of energy behind life itself.

A thankful soul does not need to claim anything. For it's already full and seeks only to share this sense of fullness and thanks and joy with others.

I believe the embodiment of thankfullness and gratitude is the nature condition of the divine soul that we were all blessed with at birth. This is the smile on a babies face which, like our 3 mo old Andrew, literally beams a broadcast of heavenly light every second of every day. We call him "the smile machine." He's full of the radiant gifts of Life itself expressed directly from the realm of heaven itself right into our home here in Evanston every day.

The habit and practice of being thankful for simply being alive is the first step on this ONE Royal Heavenly Highway to the awakening truth of our soul.
