Every month I meditate on what the blog topic should be and what people “need” most to hear. (Of course I meditate on everything to make sure I’m flowing in the direction appropriate for the greater whole.) The answer I received for this month was appreciation! – to live life completely from the perspective of appreciation! It’s a high energy vibration which sustains endurance in a wonderful divine place of peace, joy and love – a state of being (not just feeling) that exists on the level of spirit. When you are in a consciousness of appreciation you are able to be in heaven. And don’t you know; heaven and hell are mind-sets which you dabble in and out of all the time. So, doesn’t it make sense that Heaven Is Being In Appreciation where you are holding a resonance of gratitude?
The truth is you are a spirit working within a light body known as the soul. As spirit [although you may not have conscious memory of it] you chose to experience this 3 dimensional world exactly as you are. You chose your parents, you chose the body you have, and the country, state and city you were born into. You even chose the name that you have. All that you’ve chosen is for purposes of learning, shifting, growing, expanding and ascending to dwell in God consciousness. As well, being the creative and dynamic spirit that you are, you have “dreamed” or manifested your current life experience. The home you live in, the type of relationship you have, the type of work you’re doing and your life in general is what you have created it to be. You first thought it, then felt it, then saw it and then called it into existence for you to receive the lessons of the soul.
With the awareness of you being the divine master mind of your personal life creation as well as one of the many collaborators of the Earth’s weather pattern, neighborhoods, other city structures, social structures, economic structures and so forth, you can also expand your awareness to the truth that it all works together for your highest good. So, appreciate it! Give thanks for it! You are a magnificent co-creator with God and being in appreciation for every aspect of your life [down to the last detail] is the same as validating your real essence. It is your way of saying, “I am deeply ingratiated for how Divine Source has created me and how I, together with Divine Source, created the perfect way for me to experience life.” That richness of deep appreciation can only be called heaven, because your entire being would dwell in that continual consciousness.
