Tomorrow, November 15, 2018 at 8:30 AM (Pacific Time) the topic of conversation will be “Unconditional Gratitude” when I will again be the guest on Marc Courtenay’s radio show “Finding Happiness and Good Health in Today’s Word” on (KCUP-1230 AM and BOSS 100.7 FM Radio in Newport, Oregon) and streaming on the web. You can listen live or via the archives of Marc’s shows after the show. We’ll talk about how to practice gratitude that isn’t contingent on specific circumstances, and how this helps us heal the gap we imagine between true Peace and our (failed) expectations of what we think the world should deliver to us. We’ll “turn it around” – to borrow from Byron Katie’s sage advice – and share ways to train our minds to see that real abundance (our unchanging identity) is for giving away, and not something we need to acquire or worry about losing. Here are some possible questions we may explore:
- How can we give what we don’t (believe we) have?
- When is giving the same as receiving?
- When is giving different from receiving?
- How are gratitude and patience related in truth?
- Why do we resist and actually sabotage peace by making conditions and demands of circumstances … and how do we remedy that?
