Getting Grateful.
by nwphotography
One of my favorite habits is taking a moment each day to recognise what I am grateful for. Whatever resonates with me on the day. About 2 years ago I started to follow Dr John Demartini and his work, I respect the man and thanks to modern technology I get a status update from him each day on Facebook, its a daily injection of reality, love, reason, sense and always gets me thinking.
On that, personally I have been on a steep learning curve the last few years, and have sometimes felt overwhelmed with all these new pieces of information – one person saying one thing and someone else saying the other. This eventually led to a bit of confusion and I have come to the conclusion that, of all the people you follow or listen to in your life… keep it simple, listen, think and make it your own. Remember, that great leaders and mentors don’t tell us what to do, instead, they get you thinking so you in turn do your own research. We all know what is right for ourselves, no one else can tell you that.
So, I’d like to share Dr Demartini’s thought for today below. I do this every day, its such a simple concept and I get a lot out of it, if this resonates with you, I hope you get something out of it as well.
“By waking up with an attitude of gratitude you can add value to your life. Spend a moment while lying in bed before you get up just thinking about what you’re grateful for. You could be thankful for a pleasant phone call, be thankful for your children, partner, home or your job and its opportunities. You’ll be amazed how much zest it adds to your day.” Dr J Demartini.
Just in case you were wondering, when I woke up this morning I was grateful for the abundance of opportunity that lies before me.

I think your post hits the nail on the head because when you think about it; gratitude is part of integrity which just happens to be the failsafe of manifestation.
If your conscious or unconscious thoughts, beliefs, intentions and actions are not coming from a sense of gratitude, then they can’t be in alignment with your consciously intended destination.
The resultant energy caused by the misalignment creates destructive interference patterns to your intentions.
The critical factor for gratitude and integrity is harmony and wholeness. If what you intend for yourself is not aligned, or in harmony with, your deep seeded beliefs and values, the disharmony, or the subconscious disconnect, will always cause destructive interference patterns and have you sabotaging your every desire to move forward.
While destructive interference energy remains in place, there’s no possibility for an individual other than contraction. Being able to access higher states of being in order to make manifest what you desire requires alignment, authenticity, integrity, gratitude and continuity.
Paying attention with intention in integrity and gratitude maintains your connection to source potential. Anything else severs such a connection.
In the sense I mean it above, integrity has to do with wholeness and authenticity, which are part of the original meaning for the word. The modern meaning has included several moral layers which are not part of my meaning.
The processes of manifestation, which simply means to make manifest, or to place in your hand, include the following steps. From imagination of anything that you can dream up, you move to idea. From idea, you create an intent or intention, which starts to give shape to the energy of idea.
When intention takes shape, you need to give that intention more energy through focus. In other words, you attend to your intention and the more you do this, the more energy your intention takes on. If you keep changing your mind, or being distracted, or not being consciously grateful, then the energy of intention quickly depletes.
The word distract comes from 14th Century Latin distractus meaning to ‘draw asunder or apart, to turn aside’ and distrahere meaning ‘draw in different directions’ and ‘to throw into a state of mind in which one knows not how to act’ – from dis meaning ‘away’ and trahere meaning ‘to draw’.
Distraction comes from mid 15th Century Latin distractionem meaning ‘the drawing away of the mind’, ‘a pulling apart, separating’ and distractio meaning ‘mental disturbance’.
The gatekeeper of being able to realise your intention in physical reality is integrity, attending to your intention with authenticity, so anything that distracts, literally ‘draws your mind away’.
If you are not being whole, or being fully authentic, to your idea/activity, your mind will always experience a drawing away, or in the language of physics, destructive interference.
When intentions are not coming from gratitude, they are generally not aligned with deep seeded beliefs and personal values. When this happens, self sabotage is always the end result.
