The ticket to perfection is living as fully in the now as you can, and learning to appreciate it unconditionally.
When we are truly able to be present and appreciate that presence, we realize how rich we already are, how blessed we already are, how full of possibilities we are.
Often, we find ourselves suffering because we are resisting what IS. Another big reason I see people suffer (including myself of course) is not appreciating the blessings that already are. To be ingrateful is such a disease and yet the ego is so quick to dismiss this. Yet on the path to awakening, genuine gratitude for life cannot be bypassed.
When the ego is on a power trip (which it will usually deny that it is)… someone may share with you the power of being grateful for where you are NOW, to have what you have NOW (including the things you think are “bad”)- and we may quickly try to bypass that with thoughts/justifcations such as.. “Yeah okay but I need THIS to be grateful” or “Yeah I’ll be grateful once I get HERE or have THIS, or understand THAT” or even “I don’t CARE about being grateful, ‘I’ have PROBLEMS”. It is part of our ego programming to constantly be trying to “get out” of what we are in, to be addicted to our traumas.
If we understood how flawed that programming is, we would make it a priority to shift this mindset and learn to embody genuine acceptance and gratitude throughout our day. It truly is the greatest game changer. It is worth the effort and it is worth letting your inner ingrate die and be reborn.
Living as an ingrate will have you constantly feeling like what you want is out of reach. It can range from restlessness to desperation to despair. It will make you feel like you are never good enough, because nothing is ever good enough for you (your ego). It is perhaps the greatest side effect of the illusion of seperation.
When you are ingrateful, you will stuggle to recieve new blessings and miracles- because you are not even appreciating the ones you have!
This is not a punishment from god for being an ingrate- it is really just physics. You are not going to receive as much if you are not even able to appreciate what already is. It is just a law that I, and others, have observed many many times. For even if you DO get blessings, you will not be able to fully receive them, to let them show you the magic that you are and that God is. In this way, miracles are wasted on ingrates- that isn’t to say that it isn’t helping them- but I promise you life gets SO MUCH BETTER when you practice being genuinely thankful for the things in your life that you may have taken for granted.
We are truly blessed to have access to clean water and food, to have a home, a bed, warm running water, sunshine, breath, legs, kind people, freedom, and so many “basic” things that many other people now and in our history either did not have or risked their LIVES to have. When you really receive this and give thanks for this, you are able to exit the scarcity loops/illusions of consciousness. And it takes a bit of work because most of our minds have been programmed to be ingrateful/in lack.
We have been very programmed to fixate and focus on what we don’t have, rather than what we do have- it is what makes us good consumers and even enslaves us to the illusion of the matrix.
Realizing you don’t have something that you’d like to experience is not bad- it is part of our wonderful expansion as living beings- but to want more without appreciating what already is, in my experience, will not get you very far.
On the other hand, when you stop trying to get out of what you’re in and appreciate it all as it is now, genuinely, for the sake of it, you will have blessings pouring in all over. It’s the greatest life hack, it is perhaps the greatest difference between miserable people and happy people.
Part of what I am attempting to describe is about falling in love.
Falling in love with life.
When you fall in love with life everyday, you really do enter a totally new way of being that is soo much more enjoyable all around. You appreciate what ALREADY IS so much more deeply, and so you are also so much more magnetic and receptive to the things you are desiring to create/experience.
In that state, you aren’t creating because you’re trying to get out of something (desperation/attachment to the illusion). You are creating because you remember WHO YOU ARE (God incarnated) and you are interested in actually creating out of the abundant wholeness that you are, with the intention of bringing even MORE love into the world, more beauty, more harmony, more fun, etc.
To conclude this simple yet extremely potent reminder, is that we are entering a new era… a new REALITY. A reality where we are learning to create from the inside out; a reality where we must let go of our addiction to external circumstances, our addiction to our old past stories, our addiction to our problems. This is a paradigm where we REMEMBER who we really are, and what we are REALLY standing in.
And when you anchor this rememberance into your BODY, into your daily life.. you will KNOW for yourself how crazy it is to try to keep creating from the outside in. Or how crazy it is to be so ingrateful and careless about all of the things around you that are constantly working out. Or how crazy it is to constantly fixate on what is wrong with you rather than aligning with what is RIGHT. You will find how your own programming has been dictating the majority of your life and that you can begin to let it go and step into the unknown freedom that is gently nudging at you every moment, waiting.
This era we are entering, at the core, is all about human beings TRULY remembering that they are not separate from God, and coming back into an incredible unity-consciousness with God and one another.
And this era of evolution is unfolding naturally every day.. just as something higher is trying to happen for you in each moment if you would allow it…
May you take this reminder and incorporate it boldly into your own unique practice 🙂
Thanks for reading and tons of love and blessings always! We are DOING it!
