This is my daily gratitude ritual. Use mine or create your own. Gratitude is one of the quickest routes out of suffering and into an awareness of wholeness... and when we know we are whole we stop projecting our disowned parts onto our children and allow them to experience their own wholeness too.
Today there is gratitude for the experience of identifying with this character in this illusory experience of life on Earth.
There is gratitude for the knowing that there is only oneness, wholeness and perfection and that everything else is an illusion. There is gratitude for the perception of the yin and yang in every moment and the concurrent transcendence of duality.
There is gratitude for the experience of being awestruck at every moment by the illusion of realness: by the detail and beauty and vibrancy and diversity of the perceived experiences through the senses.
There is gratitude that everything that is needed to be known is already available in this moment; that no striving, improving, fixing, changing, healing or learning is needed.
There is gratitude for abundance in this moment – that anything that is needed has already been supplied.
There is gratitude for the illusion of time and all the fun and joy and stories that this illusion makes possible.
There is gratitude for the other characters in the story and how the illusion of separateness allows for friendships and families and love and drama and connection and rejection.
There is gratitude for the bodies that we identify with – for their variety and complexity and for the many experiences that they afford – of ecstasy and pain and intensity and movement.
There is gratitude for the beauty of this dream and the endless possibilities it offers to play, explore, create and experience in the safety of the illusion.
There is gratitude for the experience of waking in the dream, becoming aware of the truth, and then returning to play the game just because it’s fun!
