GRATITUDE - THE GREATEST PRAYER, THE GREATEST VIRTUE




Life is an awesome experience, and experiencing life through a physical body is extraordinary!

We, every human, animal, plant, minerals etc, began as a thought in the mind of the Creator. The powerful Creator being expanded itself into infinite individualized experiences, and each experience is beautiful, awesome, powerful, and enlightening!



When we humans took a body, we birthed something called the 'Ego-Mind', it was a beautiful tool to help protect and care for the body. Yes, it is a beautiful tool, but it is not who we are.

We are not this body, nor its personality, nor the mind. But sadly, as humans we get so caught up in living and surviving the physical experience that we lose our focus on the truth of who we are.

We are pure Spirit, Pure Consciousness, that emanated from the radiance of the Creator's light. We emanated and we co-created with the Creator to experience and enjoy the physicality. Life of a Spirit being in a physical form is truly an awesome experience!



When we enjoy physicality from the place of the Spirit, we come into the knowing of the complete wholeness of who we are. Only then we can acknowledge life as a grand valuable gift to celebrate every moment. Otherwise, the 'ego-mind' focuses only on the survival of the physicality and thus takes us into a journey of fear and pain. Fear and pain are stories of the mind about what happened to the survival of the body and what might happen.

It is refreshing to know that we always have a choice either to play the game of life totally believing and sticking with the 'ego-mind', or choosing to move and expand and enter into a journey of trusting the powerful Spirit in us, seeking guidance from Spirit and live life fully as a Spirit being experiencing a physical body.

Acknowledging the Spirit of the Creator inside our body temples makes life a great wonderment and joy every moment. Not even a single moment can pass by without the feeling of Gratitude. Life experience becomes a prayer of Gratitude. The knowing that everything around you, the people, the flowers, the trees, animals, the land, the rocks, the river, the air, everything has been lovingly created FOR you, for you to experience the bliss of the Creator's love.




When we choose to see every life experience (good or bad) from the place of Gratitude, our heart opens and our life becomes a prayer, a gratitude prayer that is held in awe by the body temple.

The moment Gratitude enters, every aspect of life,- physically, emotionally, mentally- every aspect of living is completely HEALED!



"Gratitude is the Greatest of all Prayers and the Greatest of all Virtues."

Let us choose to consciously hold the attitude of Gratitude.

Blessings!
