A desire for a new reality to manifest is intrinsic to our dreams and goals in life. When birthed from pure awareness and out of transcending love, desire is an important quality that leads to satisfaction, happiness, and rewarding life.
There is extraordinary power in gratitude to help you accomplish your goals and fulfill your dreams. To be grateful and content with what you have while at the same time having a dream is strangely weird, paradoxical, and mystical. But therein lies wisdom beyond human rationale. It’s in that paradox that infinite wisdom – grace – can flow freely and direct your path.
For more than two decades, I had the opportunity to be the main speaker at large city festivals internationally. During the early part of this millennium, I was invited to speak in an area where about half the population was Christian and other half was Muslim, including the provincial Premier. Since our events attract tens of thousands of people, it is not uncommon for politicians to attend the opening of the festival, and this time was no different.
Whatever prejudicial judgments we make, whether against ourselves or others, it is always rooted in one of the egoic stages of consciousness. The inner nagging silent whisper of I am not enough for unconditional love looks for ways to become more deserving of love than others by critically condemning those we consider less than us, or complaining about the ones who make us feel inferior about ourselves.
If you observe your thoughts, you’ll soon notice that the mind compulsively gravitates toward negative judgments about ourselves and others. These reactive judgments will often arise out of nowhere and involve virtually anything.
