Your Daily Dose of Gratitude ~ Day 549

Gratitude For Your Life In General

----------------------------------------------------------

Next week in the United States we celebrate Thanksgiving. Throughout my own life Thanksgiving, the celebration of giving thanks and gratitude for all that we have, has always made my soul sing. Yet at the same time I have always thought, like all marked days that are reflective on gratitude, or peace or holiness, why do humans make it a point to just pull out a day or two throughout the year to deeply feel the many blessings in their lives? Why do we not activate and celebrate the power of thanksgiving every single day of our lives? (Maureen Moss) - www.worldpuja.org

Cherishing Your Challenges & Challengers

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Questioner): Amma, I would like to ask a personal question. I've been dealing with a weight problem and my diabetic problem for a long time. I'm wondering if there is an underlying reason why I still have these problems. Has the purpose for these problems gone away?

(Amma): The underlying reason is that this is how you decided to play the game in this lifetime. The real truth is that you planned all of this out. Do you wish to change that?

(Questioner): Yes.

(Amma): There are several steps to doing that. Are you ready for those steps?

(Questioner): Yes.

(Amma): The first step is to truly appreciate what you have already created — the weight, the diabetes, the pain, the frustration. As an infinite being, be able to step back and look upon your creation with absolute joy. That is one of the most difficult things for you humans to do because you created yourselves to hide your infinity in that way. You have hidden your infinity in a way that has made that power or the location of that power scary to get to. So the first thing is to truly appreciate how well you created yourself.

The second step is that every time you need to take insulin, every time you look in the mirror (which you avoid doing), every time you check your clothes, thank yourself and appreciate yourself for the wonder of that. Truly appreciate. That means you don't go, "Oh, God, I've got to change this." Be truly in wonder at what you as an infinite being have created. When you can be there in that wonder and appreciation, then you can say, "Ah, I have finished playing this game that way. I would like to play a different game." It's not because you can't stand playing one game. Think of playing games with children. They don't say that they cannot stand to play a certain game. They will say, "Oh, let's go play another one…"

So be in joy. That is who you are — joy. The way you change games is to move from one joy to another joy. You can also work with your encodements. Ask that your encodements be shifted so that you can be in joy and play the human game now with a limitless perspective instead of a limited perspective. You will discover that as you come into joy and appreciation of what you have already created, things will start to change without much effort. When you get into this place of appreciation, you can also sit down with your heart source and say, "I have decided to play a different game, and I am ready to play a game that does not include this pattern anymore. I would like to play a game with (this) pattern." It is important that you do it moving from joy to joy, not from anguish, not from frustration, and not from fear.

The truth is that from a soul level, you are enjoying every moment of what you label as pain. What I am talking about here is graduate school. This is graduate school beyond what you call the law of attraction, which, of course, is the level of college beyond what you did in high school or grade school. You have moved beyond those other levels. In the law of attraction, the focus is on moving away from that which you don't want to that which you do want — but not being in joy and appreciation and amazement at what you have created, which you have judged that you don't want.

The truth is, dear ones, that you want exactly what you have because that is what you planned on your soul level. Be in joy and appreciation and wonder at what that is, and then say, "Okay, let's play another game." You can work with your encodement technicians who will assist you in moving to the new encodement level. In fact, right now you can say, "I wish now to move to a place of appreciation for (list what it is)." Whenever you judge something as being bad or painful, you are not in a place of appreciation.

Let's say you want to make an extra $10,000 this month. Are you in appreciation of the $10,000 you don't have? Be in appreciation of what you have right now. See it being just as wondrous as having the extra $10,000. They are just two different creations. It takes just as much energy and just as much love to do either. Being in appreciation does not mean that having the extra money or less weight is better than what you have now. It's just different. Be in joy and appreciation of exactly where you are now. It may help you to step back and think, "If I wanted to create a character just like me, did I do a good job? Yes, I did an Academy Award-winning job! A wondrous job! A fantastic job!" That's how to be in appreciation.

Think of your favorite actors and actresses and all the movies they've been in. Did they regret the movie they were in before they went to the next movie? Or did they just finish that movie and then begin the next one? There is a difference in being who you are and being in appreciation of who you are, recognizing that the persona you have created is simply a creation that you fully enjoyed creating and, from your soul level, you fully enjoyed being. As you are more and more into that place, then you can say, "Ah, how wonderfully I have played this game! It has been so grand. Now I'd like to play another game." Then you move into that area and say, "I am ready now. This pattern of holding weight upon my body is an old pattern from an old game, and I wish to change that now. I will change my encodements and change that pattern." Remember that you are not changing that pattern because you are judging that pattern to be wrong or bad. You are simply changing that pattern because you want to play a different game. You cannot play basketball with a football. You have to change the game. The other question you asked as to whether or not you have finished with the purpose of this game . . . well, have you?

(Questioner): I have now.

(Amma): Good. Be in appreciation of where you are now. Sit in wonder about that body. As I have said, if you wanted to create that character for a movie or a play or whatever, didn't you do a wonderful job? Be in marvel. Be in joy. Be in wonder.

When you are able to do this, no matter what happens in your life, you can look at what happened today and say, "I created that. I created there being a water problem in a house, and I created the character who is going to give up money to make money, and someone else who is going to be selfish and not do anything. I created all that! No one could have created it any better." When you can say, "Yeah, for sure!" instead of, "Ugh, for sure," then you are in a place of real appreciation of your creation. You are creating everything, including what I am saying to you now.

I am not saying anything to you that you do not know. You are creating this person that you know as to bring through words from a being you believe is Amma who is separate from but who is not separate from her, to give you words of wisdom that you already know. You have written the script yourself.

(Questioner): Fabulous.

(Amma): Exactly. Could you have done it better?

(Questioner): No, not even if I wanted to.

(Amma): You did it perfectly, as does every person. One of the things of being in joy and appreciation, moving beyond what you call the law of attraction, is to recognize that every person, and what they say and what they do, is your creation. Not your mirror — your creation. It is true that they could be your mirror, but you created them to do that. You created them to either give you these words of wisdom you already know or to reflect something back to you. You created them to do that. And they created you. Why is it that you may be in a group of people where one person says something and everyone hears something different? It is because you each created that person to say something different. It is not because the others weren't listening. It's just that you created them to say something different. You do realize — don't you? — that eyewitness accounts are some of the worst accounts. It is because everyone created them to be different. And there is the storyline where you say that you have filters and your own issues coming up. Yes, that is also true. The real truth is that you wrote the storyline. That is your infinity. That is your creative power… Every time you "catch yourselves" making a judgment about anything, be in appreciation that you created that just for you. And notice what a good job you did — an excellent job, a wondrous job, an Academy Award-winning job — in creating that. (Amma through Chapman) - www.OdysseyToWholeness.com

(2) Use this "phrase of praise" as a mantra in the "nows" throughout your day.

Now breathe in your next chapter, breathe in this "phrase of praise," turn the page and let it in.
