Hit a substantial spiritual nerve. Just yesterday I "allowed" myself to shift from a "wanting" space to a "gratitude" space. The immediate shift into "all is right with the world" felt great. Notice I said "allowed." That in itself makes all the difference. Shifting "spiritual" gears requires that I first acknowledge fully, where I am and how I feel, without judgment, before I can move into another space, in this case, gratitude. Once I acknowledge "what is" present in me, somehow the want, work or strain disappears, and life is allowed to present itself to me, just as it is. Life just as it is, permeates my being with its profound peace, joy and wisdom. Very cool process. :-) I thank you for your great questions. I will definitely use them.
