As you develop an attitude of gratitude you become aware of your ability to evolve much quicker by viewing yourself in the present moment as the person that you desire to become in a future moment. You get a picture in your head of what you would look like when you possess all that you desire and then you install that picture into your present moment persona.

You are who you think you are. So think that you are that which you desire. The desire will fade away to reality as you take on the properties and context of your desire. Your thinking will reflect your desire, your words will reflect your desire, and your actions will reflect your desire. You create your desire in one fell swoop by being the desire.

Remember, beingness creates doingness. Concentrate on who and what you are being. Don't worry about doing stuff. You won't be doing the right stuff anyway until you achieve beingness. So go for the beingness and the doingness will flow from there. Remember you are a human being, not a human doing. And what you are being is one with the all. You used to be separate from everything but now you are one with everything.

When you believed in your separateness you believed in external power and used all manner of persuasion and manipulation to achieve it. You thought that by possessing external power you would cure all of your perceived problems and live a life of peace and happiness.

That is the false promise of external power. Like most material possessions, the promise of the product does not live up to the product itself. External power is not authentic power. When you lose the source of the power, such as money or title, you lose the power.

When you seek power from within, you understand what authentic power really is, because you can never lose your source of the power. You and the source are one. It's a heck of a great collaboration. You only need to use it. You never lose it. You are one with it. You only need to use it. You may have been a sleepwalker all your life and didn't know that you possessed this power. It doesn't matter. You do possess it, you have always possessed it and it will never leave you. You need only to use it.

Here's the deal. You have created your life just the way it is, with all its trials and tribulations. You probably did this unconsciously under the belief that you were a separate entity who had to fend for yourself in order to survive. Try as you might you can't seem to solve the problems that you perceive to have. You thought that maybe working harder with more effort would solve your problems. It didn't. It may have added to your problems.

We are reminded once again of the definition of insanity. ?Trying to achieve different results while continuing to do the same thing.? It is time for you to accept and hold close what Einstein said about it. ?You cannot achieve any revolutionary ideas by thinking the same way you always have. You have to change your thinking.?

You have to change your base, base, base thought from one that says ?I am a separate entity.? Separate from my creator, separate from all other creatures, and separate from the planet that I occupy and sustains me. You have to replace it with the base, base, base, thought that says, ?I am one with all.? I am one with my creator, one with all other creatures, and one with the planet that I occupy and sustains my human form.

This is the revolutionary thinking that will allow you to wake up, live in awareness, and create your life consciously, without effort. Lose the struggle, lose the torment, the pain, and the hopelessness all with the change of a single thought. We are all one.

Simple, yet complex.

You do the simple part when you change the thought and allow the universe to do the complex part of sending you what you create. The universe does that anyway, but now you will be creating consciously and with purpose. A wonderful collaboration indeed.
