One word. Wow.
Until this point, gratitude seemed to be opening doors for me, breaking barriers for me, helping me glide through circumstances in the outside world.
This practice made me realize that there is no 'outside' world, myself and the Universe. There is One thing and that all these meaningless battles and plans and so-called victories and successes were a sham. The reality is Perfection.
This is a thriving Universe with the centre of Power being Me and You. Everything is effortless, LOVE is THE FORCE behind it all and we get to decide everything.
There was never a 'Me' against 'the world' and I had never gained a new ammunition in the name of gratitude to pave my way through life.
It was a bloody illusion and it took this practice to show me that.
How does it do that???
It instils a new belief. That is all it does. A belief that the Universe is always trying to communicate with me and trying to show me all the things there are to love and to be grateful for.
I feel that the truth is so much more profound than visualizing a Universe ( even a friendly Universe) outside of myself and watching out for signs from it.
But just this belief breaks down so many other barriers to Freedom which we have instilled into our daily lives. So it is plenty more than enough to start with.
Realising and knowing that the Universe is conspiring on my behalf cancelled out the fear faculty in my head. It instead, lets the good thoughts and feelings take full control with no inhibitions at all. Which was when I finally saw things the way they were meant to be looked at.
I saw the wonder in every morning. The flutter of leaves in the morning breeze. The people in my life who were helping me beyond reason. The love and the laughter. The hints and beginnings of my wished upon life. The glamour and the hotness .
There was so much happening all of a sudden and there was also this startling realisation that it( all this amazing goodness) had always existed for me and this was just the moment I had chosen to finally see. It made me wonder of all that was still hidden to me and that made grateful for the eternity in front of me, to experience it all.
This practice is like a remainder , I guess. Reminding me to remember what I am part of. It reminds me of my power over my life by making me choose what I want to see.
It urges us to take 7 Cues from the Universe as we go on with our day. We then say Thank you for that thing and get on with the day with a slightly altered perspective than what would have been, had it just have been a normal day.
Seeing someone I love acts as a cue for me to be grateful for all the love in my life. Seeing a funny event cues me to be grateful for a beautiful childhood.
Each cue we take is so uniquely designed for us and whatever we feel grateful for because of that cue IS the perfect end to that cue. A single cue is different for each one of us, because only we get to decide what it is a cue for. It is an awesome game and is so much fun , as much as it is a learning experience. The Perfect Game , if you will.
