Wed Grats...Power vs Forde: Levels of Consciousness
by
What is the difference between Thankfulness and gratefulness? Ya know, I don’t need to know…but tomorrow is Thankful Day!
I am grateful today for the beautiful sunshine that appears to be everywhere. One glorious day! I already miss all those green fluffy leaves flipping off in the breeze. Those trees are so bare.
I am grateful for health, energy, memory and clear vision. I feel very fortunate to be blessed with all of this.
I am grateful for the awareness of a Higher Consciousness that captures my mind. And for Dr. David Hawkins who shares that “I am subject only to what I hold in mind,” and who has taken ACIM beyond the 12-Steps on into our Levels of Consciousness through the kinesologic method of measurement.
Me? The awareness of the probable cut off levels of consciousness within a human being, which may flexibly be observed?…offers me another level of Compassion when dealing with those I love and care about. It does not take hearing very many statements of refusing one’s responsibility and then to place blame on another; it does not take hearing many statements of negative projection to understand the Law of Attraction seeking them; and it does not take many statements of owning victim-hood as something bad as always happening to them. What this does do…it clicks in my Compassion to love them regardless of how much they place faults and blames on others. Yes, I am aware that they have choices but they do not think they have, and they do not want to hear about them.
My career has involved overcoming addictions within individuals who seek help. The addiction mentioned above is known as the “Addiction to Being Miserable.”
I am grateful there is recovery for those who seek it. I am grateful to be able to share skills and to walk them through whatever it takes. I am grateful to feel Compassion for the reluctant. Yes, in many cases there is a better way and yes, some are willing to find it. I am grateful to have come by this Peacefulness and Calm within me and for this cyberfamily’s encouragement for this freedom…rell
