Recently, while facing very
challenging consequences, emotionally and financially, I began
to seek a higher consciousness of my connection with my Source. Suddenly, I
realized a phenomenal idea that I had been taught over the last year. That
is, words have vibrations. Some parts of speech move at a higher level
and rate than others. The higher the vibration, the better the outcome in my
life. The lower the vibration, the more disdain I am apt to behold.
For example, as a result of a most recent situation
that presented itself to me, I told myself that I was depressed. I told
others that I was in a “state of depression”. The challenge was quite
strenuous, and I was rather somber for a few days. Moping about anything
for days was unlike my usual mode of operation.
I seemed stuck on this ever-sinking ship. Calling forth my spiritual
knowledge, I became an observer of my thoughts. I came to realize that
each time I said or thought the term, “depressed”, I felt worse. A sick
feeling came over me every time the term surfaced. Aha! I realized
that it was not the situation that was making me feel so badly, but what I
thought the situation made me feel. As long as I labeled myself
depressed, I felt that way. “So”, I thought, I’ll change the term!
What is better than depressed? Inspired (It could have been enlightened,
or blessed, etc...)!
I made a list, as my minister suggested, of things
for which I am grateful. Inspiration was near the top of the list. I
immersed in the thought, “I am inspired”, and instantly felt relief. I repeatedly thought, “I am inspired.” I
began to feel lighter; more free. “That’s it”, I thought. I decided to “adhere
to a higher awareness (AHA)” that I control my thoughts, and in turn, my
feelings. Lynn Grabhorn emphasized this idea in Excuse Me, Your Life
is Waiting (2000). Yes, my life was patiently waiting for me to vibrate
at a higher level, that of gratitude and joy. I’ll adhere to that!
