NTI Luke, Chapter 17 says that gratitude \u201cnurses your willingness to full health. Do not hold back on gratitude. Take time to sit in quiet and know your gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

NTI Hebrews, Chapter 12 says, \u201cWorship in reverence and awe the true desire of the Heart by giving your gratitude to it. Through gratitude, [true] desire is increased.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Last week, when reading Chapter 4 from the Direct Means to Eternal Bliss, we learned how important the intense desire for freedom is. We were told that it will bring us everything that is needed for success in the \u201cquest for Freedom including the answer to all your questions, the Direct Path teachings, the solution to all obstacles, the motivation to practice, etc.\u201d We were told that the intense desire for freedom will guide us to our inner Teacher. \u201cOf all the factors that determine if you will or will not be free, the intensity or lack of intensity of your desire for Freedom is the most essential factor. Whatever you can do to most effectively increase your desire for Freedom should be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so, today we take a day of gratitude in order to increase our desire for freedom.<\/p>\n

What should we be grateful for? Here are some things that NTI recommends we be grateful for:<\/p>\n

~ \u201cBe grateful for all that is true. All that is true is this: Life, Love, sharing, extension and joy.\u201d ~ NTI Luke 24<\/p>\n

~ \u201cIt is true that peace is cause for rejoicing and gratitude. It is through gratitude that peace is extended.\u201d So be grateful for peace. ~ NTI 1 Thessalonians 3<\/p>\n

~ \u201cBe grateful for the process that is God\u201d That is, be grateful that giving and receiving are one. \u201cIn this way, you come to know within awareness that which is God, and you come to accept and love thy Self.\u201d ~ NTI 1 Timothy 4<\/p>\n

~ \u201cTeach the mind to be subject to the Heart by being grateful for the desire of the Heart. Through gratitude, desire is stretched within the mind. Let the desire for Love expand within the mind that is conscious, and the conscious mind will give more willingness to rest at the feet of the Heart.\u201d ~ NTI Titus 2<\/p>\n

~ \u201cOne may rejoice over progress as he notices his perception is being healed. \u2026 The transition to true perception is glory. Have gratitude for your Self and this miracle, which is the symbol of your own true desire.\u201d ~ NTI 1 Peter 1<\/p>\n

~ \u201cBe grateful for reminders to rest [the thinking mind].\u201d ~ NTI Revelation 19<\/p>\n

~ \u201cSee all things as an opportunity to learn and to practice, and be grateful for all things. There is nothing that will be placed in your path that is not a gift from Me. See it as your gift and you are blessed indeed.\u201d ~ NTI Luke 9<\/p>\n

So today, let\u2019s take time to be grateful as we increase our desire for Freedom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
