DO YOU REALISE HOW BLESSED YOU ARE?

DO YOU REALISE HOW BLESSED YOU ARE?

“The Kingdom of Heaven is spread out over the Earth,yet people do not see it."– Jesus, Gospel of ThomasIf your basic physical needs will be met today - if you have some food to eat, clothes to keep you warm, a roof over your head – you've been blessed. You are richer than around 75% of the people on the planet.

If you find yourself with a little spare change today, a little money in the bank, perhaps a bit more than you actually need, you've been blessed. You are amongst the top 10% wealthiest people in the world.If you have your physical health today, if you can expect to live more than a few weeks, you've been blessed beyond measure.

A million people alive today will not survive the week. Your days are so precious. Holy.If you woke this morning, air in your lungs, your heart beating, a whole day spread out in front of you, it is a good day. A good day to be alive, to feel, to touch, to explore, to wonder. To know both the joy and sorrow of existence. To fall to your knees in gratitude.

To count your blessings, every single one of them.If you are reading this message, if you can read and have time to read and feel safe enough to read, most likely you are already living in a state of extreme abundance. Do you realise how blessed you are? How saturated existence is with miracles? How infinitely close you are to Creation?Teach your children to feel their feet on the ground, the miracle of the breath, their true identity as consciousness itself prior to conceptual thought.

Teach them to look beyond appearance; to see each other beyond religion, ideology, belief. Let them stay close to the wonder.And may these blessings reach every One of everyrace, colour and creed in every corner of this mysterious Earth, spinning on its ancient axis deep in infinite space.Friends, we may still have a chance.
