There is a lot of talk out there about the spiritual value of gratitude. This url is a good example: http://www.fourwinds10.com/news/spiritual/2003/0403/14D-04-14-03-thank-you-for-everything.html So what is it about gratitude that makes it have any value whatsoever? We've been talking about Mind and Heart and is not gratitude an aspect or condition of mind/consciousness? Being an aspect of consciousness it shows us itself why it is so important and powerful. There is the body-mind we all use every day. This is the busy-thinking that goes on seemingly endlessly, peppered with fears, anxieties, doubts, etc. Then there is the Greater Mind that has none of these negative traits but instead, once contacted, provides Love, knowledge, surety and a whole host of positive attributes. Being in a state of ingratitude keeps the small body-mind busy with all the petty complaints, issues, moans and groans. Being grateful means being thankful for and accepting of everything to where there are no more petty complaints, issues, moans and groans. Being grateful shuts down the body-mind's endless swirlings of body-thinking. And when this is done the Greater Mind comes into awareness and BINGO! you remember who you are - Love - far removed from the petty issues of body-consciousness. |
