I am grateful to have retained the memory of being a scrawny little school kid and each year, the teacher watching a clock on 11/11 at 11:11 am, we stood up and pledged allegiance to the USA. I remember this as some of my first and most grateful feelings… little did I know that I’d just continue to grow with these feelings.
I am grateful this morning, as I am becoming aware of relinquishing attachments to my past so-called needs. A few years ago when down on the farm my daughters gave me three 5-foot expandable plastic shelves. There was nothing on them when I got them…for years they were full, only empty useless luggage is on them now.
I am beginning to be inspired by the street people who have no attachments. Survival there seems to be a requirement more than securing attachments. Or does one project their own need for attachments on to them having them? Is one feeling sorrow for them because they do not have the “nooses” known as attachments and would not be aware of their own projections? This could have been me at any given moment. But can you all tell I am in a relinquishment stage? I’ve already experienced an acquiring stage and for me it did become a “noose.”
Me? these awareness’ are resulting from my study of ACIM and with the other Hawkins on Higher Consciousness, who also studied ACIM…rell
