Gratitude and Faith in Change

To look at the fostering of gratitude as an art form

A: For you it is indeed an 'art' as the weight of illusion sits heavy on your shoulders. Yet it is wise to foster it. To remember to practice this art, for it opens the heart to such generosity of spirit from where one's service to others and to all creation/Creator grows every brighter, ever Lighter, extending in the Great blending of Spirit that waits for you to join it. In workable form within the illusion, it raises you up and above all clamour of life, for your world is yet still shrouded in the many fears that lay dense within and around it.

Yet we see the Light of those souls shining through, dispersing the clouds of this fear. Those who are awake, those who stir from illusion's slumber, those who love and serve others with no awareness of their Greater Spirit. These (the unaware) are indeed great pioneers of eternity for they travel still blinded by illusion. For those awake and awakening, that which should be easy to accomplish can, at times, be even harder to achieve for you are recalling the memory of Heaven to you whilst the illusion weighs you down, often seemingly too heavy to carry.

Yet also do you have such great Love and Light you carry for all your world. So fear not, simply observe it all and express great gratitude for every moment of hope and joy showered upon you from above.

To immerse in the deep waters of Gratitude

A: To utter even the word, is to deliver unto yourself the means of opening further to its magic. For it is indeed a magical practice in its own right, though naturally is an integral part of the whole that is the fountainhead of all creation, Love. The Love the Creator showers upon creation in such never ending flow.

Gratitude is, in practice, loving thanks for all that opens your heart to praise the giver of the gift that you are grateful for. It is helpful as you practice giving thanks for the good in your life, to lay your hand gently upon your heart. For this connects you more directly in your mind to the generosity of Creator's Universe, the eternal well and source of all miracles and works of Wonder. The power of Love that flows through your entire body as you express gratitude is undeniable, pouring out further still, to all creation.

It expresses the power of doubling, aiding greatly the Greater works and service of all who serve others. It is, in a cruder physical sense a 'currency', but one of metaphysic which then enables the 'Great Work' of those of Higher densities. For the one giving such gratitude in in High service to all that Is and to Creator. The giver of gratitude both gives and receives the Divine blessing it effects.

As you practice this giving of gratitude regularly you will begin to feel its finer and finer resonance dissolving the boundaries of your illusory separate self as you merge more deeply into the eternity of the eternal moment in which you share the Love and Grace of our Creator. And in this you are, quite literally, lifted and enlightened by, and as, your Higher Nature/Being as you will see all things in your world through the eyes of our Divine Creator, if only for an instant. This is enough, the 'good work' being done for all creation/Creator.

This may be practiced daily as your service to Creator, if you choose to do so. It is a natural part of the devotional life of all seekers of Truth.

We acknowledge sometimes it is hard to enter the space of awareness required to give true Gratitude. However, if you an find even the smallest of mercies in your life as gifts, this then is a start toward and greater practice. For those who are open enough as the Universal Self and point of view, they/you see all things 'given you to experience', as you say, as gifts, for nothing is given by chance, no matter how painful or how delightful. For all are delivered to your door for you to embrace, as well as you are able, with Creator's Love and wherewithal that, when pain comes, the healing it also carries has already commenced. This is indeed advanced practice and we do not say this lightly and our service to you is always to buffer such less well received experiences with our full power of Creator's Loving touch which is present and palpable even through deep earthly sorrows (if it is looked for)

We acknowledge also that much is dependent upon the beliefs of the individual soul and the power of faith they are able to wield. For now we recommend your practice of gratitude is done within these boundaries (your own beliefs and faith) for all souls are of different levels of growth and each will react and respond according to this level they abide in.

Always extend that gratitude also to your own self for your courage and your persistence, and your will, to open to Creator's Truth, Love and Light.

We are One.

On Faith and Fearlessness

A: All seekers have faith, or they would not be seeking at all. For why seek that which you do not believe is true or even a possibility.

True faith is fearlessness. All who come here are true and fearless warriors and pilgrims of Love. Here to traverse that long journey Home to Creator in complete faith. That is a a strength requires to even be here at all, 'blind faith', that of the Earth souls striving to grow ever greater faith in each lesson and the fearlessness of acceptance and learning. Each knowing, from that level of knowing veiled from them in human form, that this Earth is a perfect breeding ground for souls seeking deeper knowledge of Truth, that which Creator is and gives freely to all who take that first step toward freedom. For faith and fearlessness are the prerequisites for that freedom each soul seeks deep within their hearts. The Divine 'freedom of the city' that belongs to all eternal citizens of creation/Creator. Available to all who seek to recover it through the fearlessness of true Faith, reached through seeking and opened by Love and loving service to all creation/Creator.

This is not to say that your faith may falter during your journey and this is not to say fear will not arise. Yet these are surface wounds only and will heal themselves with deeper understanding of soul growth process. To forgive and be forgiven for any small stumble upon the path of faith and fearlessness. For fortune does indeed favour the brave and all who come here are brave souls and we salute you for your bravery. We offer help along the way to those who seek it with hearts desirous of Creator's Truth.

Faith in Love and in our outcome through contemplation. Exercising the mind for expansion, training, stretching, reaching and exploring, growing into the fullness of the eternal mind.

A: This is the beginning of your exploration beyond the human thinking mind that the true contemplative must break out of in order to grasp the more subtle concepts and qualities of the Creator's Will for creation 'The Creator's Way'.

This being where you are here and now upon this journey through your life. Indeed to do life 'through it'. As a train passes through a tunnel, as the river flows through the carved out channel in the Earth, so does your soul journey through this life. One may simply sit back and take no notice of one's surroundings or one may take in and ponder upon the full glory of each scene that it passes by, reaping the rewards each offers. This is the way of the seeker whose mind is set upon the full and open awareness and acceptance of that offered to feed and fuel its seeking.

For this one's mind must be encouraged to stretch itself to its limit, though limits are merely limitless in truth. So one's mind is able to break through the limits found only in the illusion and begin to journey beyond them into the Eternal Mind, where all is Known. Such a journey is best taken cultivating the FAITH in Love and in outcome.

To look at faith in our various 'changes of course' in life and the often resulting confusion

A: Yes there are times when confusion sits uneasy upon and within you, gnawing at your faith in your process of growth. For would this process be laid out before you, you would see clearly the points upon it where you will stop rather joltingly as you are shunted onto your new track. Few paths are long and straight, there are twists and turns in your consciousness, your understandings of Truth, of creation as it returns to its Source. So you are assisted in changing course to a different more matured understanding of Creator's Truth which is, of course, yours also as it is ours and all creation. For there is no separation, just the coming to a deeper understanding and experience of Oneness of Unity/Union with Creator. That undefinable, inexplicable state of Being the One Love that True Creator/creation is.

So though these points may be experienced in many different ways, through emptiness, the void, or through bone-rattling discomfort in mind and body. Rest assured you are merely shifting track and in doing so, are dislodged for they are those parts that are left behind, their service to you done. So look upon these moments in time as your natural progression and do not fear allowing your old parts to fall away naturally. You will not lose anything, for the way is only one of gain, to be celebrated in the quiet of your heart with great gratitude for the deeper knowing coming to you now. Your responsibility, if you will, is but to demonstrate this progress, once reached or finalised in your life, in your service to your world, all creation/Creator.

Rest in the silence of Creator's Blessing to all creation.

We cannot grow our souls without change.

A: Love grows in the silent moments of its contemplation. For more space is being cleared for its arrival within your heart and your entire being now. The culmination of your learning, your work with Spirit, is clearing this new space for deeper knowledge and experience to arrive. For change is constant, it is eternal, extension of Love, inevitable as Creator is always Creating. The Divine 'Verb' Creator is ever perfecting, ever new, ever glorious in its Ultimate Infinity.

The continuity of change is illustrated perfectly in your human lives here that experience time. That seeming stretching out or spreading of the Eternal Moment or, even more paradoxically, a pin point of Eternity plucked from its core and spread out before you as your life. You experience it as constant change and changes. Every breath you take is different and constitutes change. Every work spoken may have different or deeper meaning or connotation than previously intended. Each moment, every day, every month and year, change occurs. This is obvious in retrospect. Though the past is only for learning, for reflection and makes room for growth ever onward, forward, upward. For such growing soul experience is inevitable, it is an essential. No soul here on Earth or anywhere in Eternity remains unchanged, or stuck, if you will, in a trap of its own or any making.

The microcosmic change you experience as a human on Earth mirrors the more macrocosmic 'change' of the entire Universe which is infinite and Eternal as Creator Creates. So whether pleasing to the eye or not, we advise you learn to embrace your microcosmal changes with the ever deepening faith that they do lead you ever closer to your Greater Self and more expansive state of beyond imagination or Spirit Itself. Offer all you experience as an eternal being, the greatest Love and Gratitude you are able to give. And this done, time after time, experience after experience, change after change, your Path opens up before you in the radiant beauty, as True Love, Divine Illumined Love, finds its home in you.

We are One
