Thankfulness

We wake up in the morning, and we think of something to be thankful for. We have a will to direct the energy and implication of the spirit of Thankfulness" in a particular direction because our minds are trained to be made activated to think of something in particular to be thankful for.

I wanted to share with you something The Creator allowed me to grasp. Have you ever been awaken and was told in your mind and spirit to be of thankfulness? To not direct your will to a certain thing or person to be thankful for, and not even yourself, as you feel that you know yourself, which is an illusion because we never can say that we know ourselves completely, because we are living beings who are always moving and changing. I mean to say, "To not assert to be in liking of any primary “thing” of yourself in your thanking The Creator for, of who and what you are? But, to observe the essence of "Thankfulness Itself."

I allowed my mind and the intellect of my spirit to open up to this beautiful essence as it was opened up to me. I felt the pure spirit of thankfulness. I was not, as I say, being thankful for anything of material; but to allow myself to be inside thankfulness. I felt a peace, a joy, an energy and a clarity that was beautiful and unlimited and had no fear. There was also no sense of courage, which is nothing more or less than a coat for the presence of fear. I understood that just "Existing" is the very, the most gift to the human being. To be aware of your consciousness, a free consciousness that has no words, no feelings to identify that would spark the intelligence of words to describe or identify the feeling; but to simply and powerfully "Be." You are taken inside and to your very being, the very core of your true self; and you will see a being that is uncontaminated. Not because you wish it to be of you, because that would imply you having knowledge of what you are seeing and feeling and then, the entire journey ends because we would be thinking of the past in creating in our minds, presumptions.

I came to understand that before our state of consciousness, even as an entity, there was for us a "Compassion" in which was the root of our purpose to exist:) Therefore, we were a part of it and still are. This is why this root exist inside of us. We were created by way of Compassion:) A great love and care brought us into existence even before we were created inside the womb of our mothers and cultivated into a physical reality. Beautiful:) We were a reality inside the very essence of The Creator by way of compassion and was created to exist. Think inside of that “We were created to exist. Have we forgotten of how to truly exist? The very reason for our existence has been made buried deep inside of us through multiple constructed diversions in burying us in a person that is called a human being. One of a human being, that is truly not a human being, but is indeed man made inside of mankind and his pointless implications and monotonous, chaotic world. To touch the very essence of thankfulness opens up the being to all things and everything is seen in a more clearer manner.

There have been created so many distractions in this fast world of a degenerating social structure that has caused inside of us, greed for material things including the opposite sex and others traps that we are taught to think we need and cannot do without; but to understand the vitality of existence and what it truly means is a very touching experience, a journey that never stops. Its a journey that remains at the beginning. To feel the pureness of “Thankfulness” without having an object, a person or anything to be thankful for is a very humbling state. To feel, to internally see, to feel externally and internally the importance of existing and to understand that thankfulness begins first in knowing that your existence has been created, a reality and should never be abused or made abused by anyone, is liberating. Another door opens inside and there lives a freedom and peace that can only be that presence of The Kingdom inside us that Yeshua spoke of that comes without observation. Not a place, but a “Presence” that has forever been there since the moment we were spoken into existence. The first state of reality is Existence and the very root of this is “Thankfulness.” It starts in being thankful for your very own existence:) And then all material things, including the people who come into our lives will be added:) The Creator is Order:)
