Appreciation Transcends The State of Resistant Thought You Are In

 That’s why so many of us teach meditation. Because when you stop thought, you stop resistant thought. When you stop resistant thought, then you let it in. That’s why we teach appreciation, because when you’re in appreciation, you are not in the mode of resistance, and you are letting it in.

Esther (Abraham and Jerry)

Did you realize that the boundaries in your story/illusion are creating resistant thought? When I read this quote above I realized that I had not thought of it in quite those terms.  

That is exactly what happens. How many times has someone suggested to you an idea, or version of your reality of yourself or some challenge you were dealing with that you automatically rejected? That is resistant thought in action. How much have we missed out in life because we were in a reality state of resistant thought, not open to new awareness?

It is what we do, every human individual on this planet. Our minds are constantly reinforcing its projected belief system and it can do it to a punishing degree, whatever the issue is. That is the power of biases and perceptions that make up our story/illusion mindsets. You have a thought, information and experience comes in and you make discernments. At some tipping point it shifts to a judgment and becomes part of your behavior and a story/illusion element. It become closed to new thoughts and interpretations and Mind goes on to the next thing. It has become you. 

Depending on our nature, we can build a lot of energy as part of the bias and become belligerent and righteous in our viewpoints. Ours is the only story/illusion and it is better than yours. 

Our willingness to accept a new premise or another's awareness of our projection comes from a reality state of Openness. One that is fluid based instead of block based. You know, all those times you felt blocked and there you were. You did not know how to deal with your block and it was all consuming and huge. You could not move it. This is a "powerless to make some thing different" reality state you find yourself to be in. 

What to do? 

Recognize what you are feeling and thinking in your self talk. And realizing that is the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. That this is only where you are in the moment of awareness. Now access your inner wisdom, core essence where out of the quiet of no thought, more information will be available. BE present and ask "What is the value in becoming aware of your setup of thought?" How is this moment useful? What is gained by feeling and then being stymied by your concern? What does it feel like for this to be different? New thoughts as awareness are present. 

Once you are open to new information, your willingness to accept it comes into play. And that too maybe  takes you to awareness of the pattern. Could be of more resistance, or of voices or experiences in the past that are engaged unknowingly, pushing agendas that have coalized into form. It can reveal your pattern of behavior in new ways and at the same time release and unfold into new patterns.  

Any engagement of potential into energy has its form, pattern, vibrational signature in your story/illusion. Notice i am not using words like weak for softer. Softer is a texture. Stronger/weaker is degrees of resistance. . 

This is where we are right now collectively. This is what is possible. Remove the resistance to what has happened. It has happened. That is the past. Recalibrate to a reality state of Appreciation. What shifts when you lose your anger of defiance and resistance to your perceived, projected story of illusion?

Consciousness and Living Magical Lives

"The majority have been programmed from their past experience to expect physical decline. And while it is something they don’t want, they are programmed to expect it. And so, they’re going to get what they expect. It’s not that what they expect is the reality that everyone lives, but that everyone lives the reality of what they expect." Excerpted from Philadelphia, PA on 5/7/03 Our Love, Esther (and Abraham and Jerry) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The child is thinking, and receiving vibrational thought from you on the day that he enters your environment. That is the reason that beliefs are transmitted so easily from parent to child, from parent to child, from parent to child. The child is vibrationally receiving your fears, your beliefs, even without your spoken word… If you want to do that which is of greatest value for your child, give thought only to that which you want, and your child will receive only those wanted thoughts." Excerpted from the book “The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham” Our Love, Esther (and Abraham and Jerry)

These quotes serve as great examples of accessing the reality of Magical Living: Not living someone else's reality but your own. :

We are so often unaware of our programming. From the earliest of childhood imprinting we are non judgmental in our information gathering. At some point though we can start to question what we are taking in. We then will either continue with absorbing with acceptance or it starts to get conditional. And emotions, personality and programming interact.

Our physical senses take in information. They are our way to navigate in the world. Often not as strong as the animals around, like the dog's nose, we do have a broad vibrational bandwidth that we refer to as the supernatural, intuitive range. We can access it easily when we are tuned in. For some it is a constant bombardment of awareness that has to be tuned. Some are willing to go with their gut but not much more. Some hide in logic.

Being present, heart centered awareness, help us access easily these spiritual realms of being aware. Consider Time and space as senses also. Consciousness is both state and sense.

When you incorporate this bandwidth as real and helpful, life takes on a different glow and vibrancy and dimensional awareness. 

Children live in worlds filled with magic. Everything comes out of the blue. Just reflect on the face of the baby and how it lights up in wonder at something that catches it's eye. Could be you or the ray of the sunbeam, and in the unseen to your eyes. Everything causes wonder, awe and appreciation.

 Along with our own inner directives it will be shaped by adult concerns and mindsets. By adulthood most of us are living our realities established in our childhood. We will constantly be making  choices that support the reality status quo or challenge it.

A different reality has set in and magic may have a sense of being lost. It hasn't been but the reality has put it aside, maybe only to show up now and then. Maybe that is the play of the lottery in adults. Recapturing that sense of wonder, and unexpected delight.

What is it like to great each day with warmth, no expectations, only potential and surprises possible and the unexpected?

What was your self talk when you woke up this morning and began your morning ablutions? Our self talk is very helpful to indicate our magical thinking. Which will dictate our magical living.

Children and teens challenge us in how we are showing up and what we allow as real as adults. Magic and what we can call miracles are all about living with wonder, awe and appreciation at our core. For this world, each other and ourselves.

Feel the wonder, awe and appreciation as you sip your coffee, breathe in the baby smell of your child as you race after them, wipe up the spills, the quick kiss from a loved one out the door. Make the moment. All are magic in action. 

This is your reality. What do you share?
