I read a small book the other day called “Sons of God” and it’s about gratitude, about expressing gratitude for everything, the good, the bad and the ugly! This can be difficult because we naturally oppose that which we don’t like to feel and experience. But when we can look at those things from a higher perspective, from the perspective of the Soul Self, instead of our panicky and judging small ego self, then we can learn from them and not oppose them. This is called being the Observer as opposed to being the Victim. It’s like the bad stuff just wants acknowledgment from you, for your part in its creation. It’s like its saying to you “LOOK AT ME!! Stop opposing me, stop resisting me!” Once we can do that, we can move past it, and give thanks for the experience it gives us, without being drawn into its drama. See?

So we say to the negative experiences and obstacles which we don’t want in our lives, “Thank you for showing up!”, and “Yes, I created you and I am grateful for the experience you have given me, but I am not you, I am Light! Therefore I can now release you into the Light of Love, into That Which I AM!”
