Gratefulness opens the door of the heart and acknowledges our
interconnectedness with others and our essential oneness with a Unified Field of
love and soul consciousness which exists beyond time and space and whose
principle property is the urge to unite. Gratefulness is the path to our heart
centered destiny: Allen L Roland
"If
there were no real propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously rudimentary
level, indeed, in the molecule itself, it would be impossible for love to
appear higher up in the 'hominized' or human
form" Teilhard
de Chardin
Love is the vehicle
for becoming what we want to be because in surrendering to love ~ we initially
glimpse the beauty of who we really are.
However, to fully
embrace ourselves we must go beyond the fears and the control of the ego.
This is not a
painless path for the path to the soul is like walking a tightrope over the
deep chasm of the unknown.
And the balancing rod
on this perilous inner path is GRATEFULNESS.
God only reveals
itself to a grateful heart and the only antidote for unworthiness and
resentment is GRATEFULNESS.
Why, you ask ?
Because you must
understand that all the key people on the journey of your heart could not be
any different than the way they were in that , in loving them, you took
another step towards finally embracing yourself ~ regardless of the outcome of
these relationships.
Regardless of the
pain or rejection you must see them as gifts on the path or tightrope towards
becoming the person you always wanted to be ~ yourself.
The people I have
loved the deepest have been my greatest teachers because, in loving that
deeply, I embraced more of myself and the person I always wanted to be.
It takes great
courage to surrender to the inner journey of the heart but it helps if you
realize that what lies deepest within ourselves is love, joy and soul
consciousness ~ only our self-imposed cocoon of aloneness ,
separation and ego consciousness keep us from this inner delight and knowledge.
Only by living my
life in GRATEFULNESS have I realized how blessed I am and only then
can I truly accept the gift of knowing that I am not only deeply loved but I am
part of something far greater than myself.
One of the most
powerful sessions I do with my clients is session five ( of seven ) where, through a visualization, they see the
scores of people who have loved them and touched them in their life and the
question I ask them is ~ How many of these people have you thanked in real
life?
Their homework is to
thank these people and when they do that they literally can feel their hearts
begin to open .
There is not one
person in my life who I have not thanked for being a gift in my life and my
heart has expanded in the process.
But the person I am
most grateful to is myself, for having the courage to believe in myself,
to listen and respond to my own inner guidance, to share my truth regardless of
the risks, to be able to both take hold and let go of relationship with love ~ and
in the process find more of myself as well as my living part in a universal
loving plan.
As such, I have
embraced Christ consciousness or soul consciousness from within, which is
what Jesus spoke of when he said "the kingdom of heaven is within
you" versus from without or externally through the bible ~ which many
Christian fundamentalists claim is the path to salvation.
Remember, Jesus was
divinely human and a forerunner for a state of consciousness all of us will
eventually surrender to. As such, God is
a loving plan in action or an evolutionary process with which we all
participate as co-creators.
Jesus was a fully
enlightened man ~ the Christ is the love he manifested in his life
which is also deepest within each one of us (not just Jesus). This
love is also a state of soul consciousness which is one in the same with my Unified field.
As Teilhard de Chardin once wrote ~"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual
beings having a human experience."
The humanizing of Jesus is the single most important religious step that must be taken in the eventual coming together of mankind.
The humanizing of Jesus is the single most important religious step that must be taken in the eventual coming together of mankind.
And GRATEFULNESS is
the path towards knowing and claiming this great inner truth.

that Cicero said that gratitude is the parent of all virtues.
