The Gift of Gratitude


A Single Thought of Gratitude Raised to Heaven Is the Most Perfect Prayer

–(Gotthold Ephraim Lessing)

As a spiritual counselor I have dealt with many people over the years and I have a lot of compassion for all human frailties – - as God knows I have my own. I never judge people’s weaknesses, choices, mistakes, life style or their problems. I am only here to help and encourage but never to judge.

However, I must say that I have no empathy for the “ingrates” because those people never have and never will have enough, regardless of the abundance as they are incapable of recognizing their blessings and values and refuse to be grateful. To me these are the true ‘poor’ people, even if they have money. The lack of gratitude can also produce greed as there is never enough. And it’s a bottomless basket that can never be filled.

Worry

Worry is praying for the things we do not want

Being that I was born and raised in the old countries, under the teachings and the rules of deep ignorance, especially those made by the religious leaders of the time, I grew up believing that worry was not only necessary, but ultimately it was the only way to show our love and caring for ourselves and others. It was a spiritual virtue according to the authorities of those days.

Worry-Guilt-Fear were our “modus vivendi”

Who are you if you don’t worry? What’s the matter with you…have you no feelings? You have to worry about your bills, financial affairs, the kids, the safety of your loved ones, the job, the political situations, the general economy, about what others think, the weather and on…and on…and on… Read more »

Why Prayer

Prayer is to the quality of our lives as water is to the seed of a plant. (Gregg Braden)

No prayer of supplication, but rather visualization and imagination, which is co-creation with the Divine .

Prayer is not a religious experience, but rather prayer is a spiritual technology as we come to the realization that we are the co-creators with the Infinite Mind which we call God.

God is not a man sitting on a throne who judges, condemns, rewards or needs to be worshipped.

God, the Infinite Spirit which dwells within each and every one of us is all there is and He is the life force of all life on Earth and throughout the whole Universe.

Prayer of supplication and invocation does not exist as Read more »

Time To Awaken

I would like to share some of my feelings and understanding of what spiritual counseling is all about.

The psychic world has become a huge business. There are many psychic lines with thousands of readers all over the world and are daily growing out of tree branches.

Actually the reality is that we are all psychic as “psyche” in Greek means mind, spirit, soul, breath…thus we all have that innate quality within us. It is part of our spiritual nature, but unfortunately no one has ever taught us about the gift of “intuition”, so most of us do not trust it and, instead of listening to the Intuitive Self, we reject our inner feelings with rational and logical thinking.

DESIDERATA II

In whatever religion you have been taught, however you have been brought up, and however you have understood your teachers…

In this levels you will understand and grasp the message. It is not enough that this message be believed. It is a message to be lived.

The essence of Universal Religion is Peace and Truth, with Love for and Kindness to all the creatures of the earth. Now it is the time to express this essence in your own life.

A beginning must be made, and the place to begin is within and in yourself. You would reform the world? Begin with yourself brother! The message of the unreformed reformer seldom inspires reformation. Read more »

What Is A *Reader*

First of all I need to say that a psychic/spiritual Reader is not and should not be a fortune teller as such thing does not exist.

All of us humans make our own fortune according to our thinking/feeling nature which will always guide us on the path of our choices, good or bad. The choice is only our own. No one can ever lead us to do anything we don’t choose to follow, again good or bad. We do have free will and God’s great gift to us is to have given us the power to choose.

Good and constructive thinking/feeling emotions will co-create with the Universe that which is good and constructive. If in the spring you go in your garden and plant roses and/or poison oak, the earth will not argue with you, it will give you whatever you saw. Read more »
