The attitudes of praise and thanksgiving produce a beneficial effect. They not only lighten the consciousness, lifting it out of sadness and depression, they elevate consciousness to a point of acceptance. Acceptance of the present experience, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it. And since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out into laughter.
Today, my meditation is one of affirmation which incorporates a complete acceptance of the eternal gift of the Spirit. I am lifting the cup of acceptance high, knowing that the divine universal supply fills it to overflowing with health, joy, and wisdom.
