in Hawaii.
Answer from Mother Mary:
Consider yourself so reminded
Beloved!
There is no other way than you, individually, making a conscious decision
that you will remind yourself of the power of gratitude. In order to
do this, you will have to decide what works for you individually in
reminding yourself of this. Will you create some kind of device that
helps you remember? Will you decide to say a simple affirmation about
gratitude every day? Will you meditate on a passage from a dictation
or the Gratitude Rosary? Or will you give that Gratitude
Rosary on a regular basis?
It is, of course, important to remind yourself of the power of gratitude
because, as you know, the universe is a mirror and the universe is designed
to give you any experience you desire, my Beloved. So, if you are not
grateful, it can only mean that you have a sense of lack, that you have
a sense that you do not have enough—and therefore you have no
reason to be grateful.
And thus, what is the
subconscious message you are sending to the cosmic mirror? It is that
"I want to experience lack, I want to experience that I do not
have enough, so that I have a reason to feel ungrateful because I want
to feel ungrateful. So give me an outer reason to feel ungrateful."
And the universe says: "Well my Beloved, if that is really what
you want, then my contract states that I am obliged to give you what
you say you want."
And thus, of course,
you see, my Beloved, that when you change your feelings, when you decide
to take command over your feelings, your feeling world, and allow yourself
to feel gratitude, well then, what is the message you are NOW sending
into the mirror? It is the message that you feel you have enough. Or
that at least you are grateful for whatever you have and thus you are
actually sending the message that "I want to experience what it
is like to be grateful and to have more and more."
And thus the universe says: "Oh my Beloved, finally you are allowing
me to live up to my highest potential of giving you the abundant life,
so surely I will give you more than what you have. And as you feel even
more grateful, for what you now have, I can give you even more—as
I can indeed multiply the talents that you have multiplied, my Beloved."
So you see, life is a matter of realizing that the universe is a mirror
and that the spiritual path is about you overcoming the illusion that
the matter world has power over you—the spiritual being.
For what is it that people are believing when they allow themselves
to believe that they do not have enough in the material world?
Well, is it not that their material circumstances have power over their
emotions, and thus they are saying: "Well I cannot feel grateful
when I do not have this or that material condition fulfilled."
Thereby saying that the matter world, the external world has power over
the internal world of your psyche, your feeling body, your emotional
body.
Yet the spiritual path is about overcoming this illusion, where you
realize that your emotions should be under the conscious control of
your mental
body, which should be under the conscious control of your identity
body, so that you realize who you are a spiritual being. And therefore,
you allow that identity to command your mental body, to command your
thoughts, so that you realize that you can feel anything you want to
feel—regardless of the physical conditions you are facing.
And therefore, you have the power – if you have the will –
to take command over your feeling world and feel grateful regardless
of what you have or do not have in the material world—which is
meant to be the servant of the spiritual world, the outpicturing of
the spiritual world so that it can be as Above so below. And so that
the abundant life can be manifest on Earth and in your personal life,
my Beloved.
