THE LETTERS OF APPRECIATION

Introducing the Letters of Appreciation

All our existence revolves around memories, - even "what we call" the lower life forms use a type of memory to carry out the functions they serve in life.

We need to become more aware of how we recall memory and how it affects our lives

Even if my consciousness moves beyond appreciation these letters will still serve a purpose.

These letters are an extension of my memory going out to humanity expressing my appreciation of everything.

Let it be a product that can assist in the healing of some of the hurts and increase our wholeness as humans.

Let it be an instrument through which my attitude of loving life expresses in a positive way toward you.

Apologizing or asking forgiveness is akin to spreading rumors because it brings up the bad things of the past – it focuses on how bad and wrong we were and our unworthiness. It's a guilt basis of what we have done wrong. Like we are not as good as we should be.

– Because of their approach they don't allow us to move as positively into the future, so, the idea here is just laying some things to rest with the past.

If some of us focused on all the bad or wrong things in our past, we’d spend all my time apologizing.

Appreciation focuses on the positive attitude of receiving whatever we get "good or bad".

In most cases, It truly is better to just forget about the bad things that happen to us.

Although I recognize that sometimes there are things that need to be brought to the surface to heal the underlying emotional conflicts they may have caused and could still be causing.

I think appreciation letters are better to heal the hurt, -- the distance that’s been spread in my family and in humanity, to undo some of the things we’ve done

Then the Transgressions we have committed against each other in our everyday living cease– we commit no more transgressions except in the memory we leave.

Then those that remember decide what to with our memory "how they shall keep it alive" -- if at all.

They decide what to do with what our lives were and what we left behind.

--Even though our lives may have been so bad we do not want to recall any of it, let us move beyond this hating of what we had into an appreciation of what we had, because that’s all we had. Changing our attitude about the past can make a definite difference in the future, "the way it’s lived". How bad the past was is also related to how much we hated it then. If we hadn’t hated it as much as we did then, it might not be as bad as it is now.

Perhaps the first step is to get beyond hating; just not even use the word anymore.

The hating of things has a large influence on how you feel about living and life. It has an influence on the wrong things you do, your habits, and the way you treat others. By having a different attitude about reality and ourselves we can see life larger than those individual experiences of our past; then perhaps we can become our greater selves.

To view life as a sublime experience and not look at it with hate distrust and bad emotional feelings over the lives we lived.

It passes apologies and forgiveness because forgiveness is unnecessary when it’s appreciated.

(I’m not saying that anyone shouldn’t ever apologize or ask for forgiveness)

That way we don’t have to go around finding fault with everything we come in contact with.

From now on I can only express my appreciation this means that if you have did me wrong ---I appreciate it.

How is that possible? It's a different attitude about life experiences and what's wrong with everything.

- It gave me a memory to reflect on life and all its varied or myriad forms. There now to be recalled as I choose and I have chosen to recall it in appreciation. Don’t misunderstand I do not appreciate anyone hurting me from that point of view. (If we have truly forgotten it won’t be recalled anyway)

I understand how some memories can be so traumatic and horrible they lie dormant in the consciousness causing all kinds of problems in peoples lives, -- this is not about appreciating in that sense.

What I mean is; I appreciate all my experiences in order to bless them and release them. --To release the suppressed child--

To get rid of the trauma that effects and controls our lives, -the emotions that powers our lives; the habits and directions we take.

It’s a way of integrating reality beyond our individual self. When we have live many years if we have failed to appreciate any of our life then we have lost it, its been a waste to us –it carries with it a bad frequency. No matter how bad the life was, - having lived that life is all we have anyway.

So having an attitude of appreciation for it lessens the burden that we carry with the anger, hate and hurt, --it’s the acceptance of God’s Grace beyond understanding.

Ministers, doctors, and the legal system directs and controls the crap that we display—all our crap feeds into those systems. It feeds off of how we are diseased (dis-eased) or sick and our dysfunction as members of societies "what’s wrong and bad about us". - Our failure to perform according to societal standards keeps them in business.

Our reality fosters going to church to confess our unworthiness, sick people and doing the wrong thing.

We need to catch on to that relationship and see if we can’t change some things or do something to make our lives different so we can heal or bring more wholeness into them.

Some would say that the bad things or wrong things we did are good also because they add variety and comparisons in this reality, but I don’t see it that way. I think those things that cause emotional conflicts and trouble do no one any good and just create more problem –that’s the purpose they serve, and we don’t need any of them.

There is a movie called A River Runs Through It –I see my life much that way now because it has moved beyond an understanding of forgiveness or apologies.

For many of those that I would apologize to or ask forgiveness of are no longer with us. And whatever they were I appreciate the experience of their existence.

I do not feel good about anyone that I may have harmed or caused emotional injury to but I do appreciate it.

I want to try to make it clear that I am not talking about these experiences happening again. I do not appreciate the harm or the hostility and suffering that we have caused each other in those terms—the purpose here is to release them.

Their suffering is my suffering also –meaning if I cause any injuries or emotional distress or conflicts it reflects back to me ---so in hurting them I hurt myself. I receive what I have given out

So, I’ve moved beyond the consciousness of that now into appreciating whatever it is I have received or given out. This will be more effective in transmuting the things that we did we wished we hadn’t and keep us from doing those things again.

By integrating this appreciation into our lives "unlike any we have expressed before", we can become whole humans.

We can begin to appreciate life in all its myriad forms and experiences without condemnation or criticism and perhaps avoid or avert some of these emotional turmoil’s and conflicts we have created by our lack of appreciation.

We can change the bad frequency or negative emotional condition and move beyond their bad impact.

Take the near death experience of it and confront it to cause its impact to be different.

Perhaps if we can learn to appreciate enough we won’t have to suffer the consequences of the traumatic near death experience that it may cause us later. To move beyond the angers fear and trauma that life may have caused.

To fill the holes in our lives these realities have created and lift this guilt ridden self-righteous society out of its misery. With this attitude we become more accepting of our frailties and become more benevolent.

Perhaps we can even move beyond our human frailties with this kind of attitude.

Humanity is always changing courses and directions, creating all kinds of different situations for us to exist in.

Perhaps we can create conditions where the idea of needing to die to end the suffering we may have caused is no longer necessary because we will have moved beyond that way of being conscious.

Perhaps we can change the frequencies of the memories beyond our ability to comprehend now.

Whatever the future is,

-- Focusing on an Attitude of Appreciation will help
