Gratitude

I often take into consideration , what would our life be without acquired facilities , peace and abundance.

Undoubtedly we all get to grips with difficult and insurmountable situations, unresolved problems, anxiety and stress ;principles that mostly take us often to an impass.

Life path looks like desert , a steep and full of pitfalls place.

Defence is reduced and we feel powerless facing up challenges of life.

However. ..

"The greatest weapon in this path of life is Gratitude ”.

Gratitude is the impel of heart that reconnects us with Creator Who generously empowers all humans.

Gratitude for all magnificent gifts God pours in , such as life and abundance, unexpected opportunities to move forward, little or great success, dreams and aspirations, protection and guidance to overcome insurmountable obstacles.

Gratitude always implies a spiritual shift for it opens heart centre, and generates a sense of completeness and unity with Heaven.

Making just one effort, we realize that by giving thanks to God we rejoin our hearts to Divine blessings.

We are truly opening up new ways of comprehension and perception . Life is no longer an obscure dream, but a unique, beneficial vision escorting us to the completion of our true purpose.

Esteem the opportunity to move one step ahead, letting go of negative thoughts that similarly end up to a negative result.

Gratitude leads to a gradual improvement and development, signs of which are immediate and amazing.

Sand and Foam by Khalil Gibran

I AM FOREVER walking upon these shores,

Betwixt the sand and the foam,

The high tide will erase my foot-prints,

And the wind will blow away the foam.

But the sea and the shore will remain Forever.

Once I filled my hand with mist.

Then I opened it and lo, the mist was a worm.

And I closed and opened my hand again, and behold there was a bird.

And again I closed and opened my hand, and in its hollow stood a man with a sad face, turned upward.

And again I closed my hand, and when I opened it there was naught but mist. But I heard a song of exceeding sweetness.

It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life.

Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.

They say to me in their awakening, "You and the world you live in are but a grain of sand upon the infinite shore of an infinite sea."

And in my dream I say to them, "I am the infinite sea, and all worlds are but grains of sand upon my shore."

Only once have I been made mute.

It was when a man asked me, "Who are you?" The first thought of God was an angel.

The first word of God was a man.

We were fluttering, wandering, longing creatures a thousand thousand years before the sea and the wind in the forest gave us words.

Now how can we express the ancient of days in us with only the sounds of our yesterdays?

The Sphinx spoke only once, and the Sphinx said,

"A grain of sand is a desert, and a desert is a grain of sand; and now let us all be silent again.

" I heard the Sphinx, but I did not understand.

Long did I lie in the dust of Egypt, silent and unaware of the seasons.

Then the sun gave me birth, and I rose and walked upon the banks of the Nile, Singing with the days and dreaming with the nights.

And now the sun threads upon me with a thousand feet that I may lie again in the dust of Egypt. But behold a marvel and a riddle!

The very sun that gathered me cannot scatter me.

Still erect am I, and sure of foot do I walk upon the banks of the Nile.

Remembrance is a form of meeting.

Forgetfulness is a form of freedom. We measure time according to the movement of countless suns; and they measure time by little machines in their little pockets.

Now tell me, how could we ever meet at the same place and the same time? Space is not space between the earth and the sun to one who looks down from the windows of the Milky Way.

Humanity is a river of light running from the ex-eternity to eternity. Do not the spirits who dwell in the ether envy man his pain?

On my way to the Holy City I met another pilgrim and I asked him, "Is this indeed the way to the Holy City?"

And he said, "Follow me, and you will reach the Holy City in a day and a night." And I followed him.

And we walked many days and many nights, yet we did not reach the Holy City. And what was to my surprise he became angry with me because he had misled me.

Make me, oh God, the prey of the lion, ere You make the rabbit my prey.

One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.

My house says to me, "Do not leave me, for here dwells your past."

And the road says to me, "Come and follow me, for I am your future." And I say to both my house and the road, "I have no past, nor have I a future.

If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death will change all things."

How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?

PRAYER TO ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

Amen.

The Universal Law of Detatchment

One of the most important Universal Laws is the Law of Detachment stating that someone has to detach from outcome in order to attract something he mostly desires.

By attaching to the outcome all opposite to your desire elements will be attracted, instead of those you are awaiting for.

All we have to do is rely on God's Will as everything is acquired through detachment which is based on the deep feeling of resting in the total grace of Him.

Attachment means connection with anxiety and insecurity. Both of them cause unhappiness.

Evolution comes when people detach from security and known and follow the path of uncertainty.

Just make a statement of your desires and dreams and let yourself detach from how and when they are going to manifest in your life.

Surrender to God's Will and let yourselves accept he Universe's eternal assistance.It's a Universe full of Love, ideas and mercy.

No one should feel abandoned or alone. We are all children of a compassionate God, our God Father. He's the greatest Divine Power that dwells within us and empowers His beloved children with magnificent gifts.Indeed it's a Universe full of compassion with open gates to miraculous worlds, seen and unseen by travellers of imagination and Faith.

We should unchain ourselves from detrimental, poisonous negative feelings like resentment, hater, grudge, anger and replace them with unconditional Love.

Love is a healing mind remedy.

Love refines our consciousness.

Align yourselves with Divine empowerment and receive Holy Grace and fulfilment.
