Snippets of Wisdom Number 54 Appreciation Rising Do you see appreciation rising or diminishing in your awareness?
Do you see complaining rising or diminishing?
We can't experience both at the same time.
One morning in early spring,
I sat on the porch enjoying the sun waking up and the moon going to sleep.
It's interesting to experience two separate events in the same sky,
Yet in opposite directions.
We just had a full moon,
And so many people were posting about the chaotic energy they were feeling.
It amuses me when spiritual people want to blame the stars,
The moon,
The planets,
And the sun for their out-of-alignment condition.
I get a laugh from Abraham Hicks when they say,
We were all born under the right stars.
In other words,
The movement and placement of heavenly bodies have no effect on us when we consistently maintain our alignment with our inner beings.
Now,
We can certainly allow anyone's energy to affect us,
Including the heavens,
When we're out of alignment.
But if you believe the heavens affect your energy,
That's exactly what you'll receive.
I'm always waiting for someone to post about how wonderful the heavenly bodies are,
Affecting their energy for good by drawing them into greater alignment with who they are as love and joy,
Rather than it always being about retrogrades and negative energy.
This idea of differing energy made me think about other times we experience differences,
Like complaining and appreciating.
We think we might be experiencing both at the same time,
But we're not.
They are opposite ends of the energy spectrum and cannot coexist simultaneously.
Either we're facing toward complaining or we're facing toward appreciation,
Just like I had to turn in one direction to face the sun and turn in the opposite direction to face the moon.
Even though they were in the same sky,
I really could not experience them simultaneously.
Imagine that we are the sky.
Depending on our directional focus,
We are facing complaining or appreciation.
Is appreciation rising like the sun and complaining setting like the moon,
Or is it the opposite,
Where complaining is rising and appreciation is setting?
You can only focus in one direction at a time.
The more we turn toward rising appreciation,
Complaining will naturally diminish and set.
Are we willing to turn toward the rising appreciation in agreement with our inner beings?
We will feel so good and our desires will begin to manifest.
Let's allow our appreciation to rise and shine brightly.
Big hugs,
Marianne.
