STEP TWO- APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE
8 STEPS TO SPIRITUAL AND EARTHLY RICHES Course
Greetings Precious Spirit-Soul,
Something wonderful happens when we develop and maintain and express the consciousness of appreciation for what we have—the second step. Remember, asking for what you want, the first step, works like the magic words, open sesame, requesting entry into the sacred teachings, the wisdom of the ages, some call the mystery schools. However, all is in plain sight when you have eyes to see and ears to hear, and all mysteries are solved.
Before focusing on attaining your heart’s desires in the future, be happy, grateful, and satisfied with what you have and where you are right now. Take care of what you have now and plant your seeds for your garden of tomorrow. Another example is having one foot right where you are now and the other foot in front moving forward in the direction you are headed. You will arrive there if you don’t change your mind or fall into doubt by having faith in the fears, rather than in you and God as a victorious team. Develop a prospering, enthusiastic and spirit filled attitude, instead of immersing yourself in self pity, poor me, and looking for guilty parties to blame. Shift your focus from lack to your continuing good fortune and love of God.
I suggest you make a list of all you are grateful for, all the sweetness and goodness, beauty, health, nature, and whatever you can come up with and affirm as often as possible your good fortune, instead of arguing for the worst and singing the country western song, Born to lose, as if this is intelligent and the way it is, when far from it. Treatment prayer is talking yourself into believing Truth and talking yourself out of living in a hypnotic trance.
‘Therefore this entire universe which is like a dream is by nature unreal, nevertheless appears real, and thus it covers one’s consciousness and assails one with repeated miseries.” Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.22
If you have been blocked in your attempts to be, do or have what is in your heart to attain or manifest, its because there are blockages within your mind, probably a deeply planted hypnotic trance, thought-form, or program. Ask your inner guide, the first step, to reveal the blockage to you. Use questions and answer with what comes to you to help you identify the problem. Then root it out by examining the thought form and perceiving the lie, evaporate it and affirm what you desire to be and achieve. There are layers of thought-forms that perverse our perception along with all sorts of bindings, cast them off, and allow what wants to manifest naturally appear by Divine Grace. Self satisfied God-particles endeavor for the benefit all s spirit-souls, including animals.
Appreciation for others helps to eliminate envy and lusting after what others have. A definition of envy is: I want what you have, I want you gone, and I want you dead. If one does what their mind tells them that is in opposition to one’s inner knowing and wisdom, they will first be a sociopath and if continue will be a psychopath, someone who enjoys the pain, suffering, and miseries of others and even endeavors for this. Real divine beings endeavor for and celebrate the well being, happiness, and prosperity of others. No one does anything alone and although we have free will and some independence, we are dependent upon Source and each others. Appreciate your body and the earth by walking barefoot and being grounded.
Really good friends are treasures because they don’t envy what we have, criticize us for what we don’t have, we can share our heart and sometimes dump stuff, need a sounding board, or need reminding of who we are spiritually so we can be victorious over our challenges. When choosing a good friend, would you feel safe trekking Mount Everest with this person or would the person let go of your hand and drop the rope if you started falling, wave bye bye and say, “Have a nice day,” or hold onto your hand tightly and use the rope to pull you to safety? Observe how someone talks about and treats others to know how that person will also talk about and treat you. To have a good friend, you have to be a good friend.
Make a list of the persons who have helped and inspired you. And, if possible let them know you appreciate them and return the favor if appropriate. Reciprocation and communication nourish relationship and without them, there is no love or relationship. Have a smile on your face and love in your heart truly desiring that each and every Spirit-Soul is experiencing Supreme and eternal pleasure of their soul/self. If not already, get into the spirit of acknowledging and shining your nourishing emanation and healing energy on sweet and kind souls. I love saying wonderful things to people and commenting on something beautiful about them and watch their sweet faces light up with happiness and their attitude joyful.
A noble person appreciates and returns the favor, even for the smallest aid knowing that even a few persons aligned together can overcome and transcend great challenges and accomplish their individual and collective heart’s desires. Our television ministry in the 80’s was made possible by every person who contributed their time, love, and money to help others to also be inspired, enriched and empowered; a Divine team and every person a gem.
Be happy and enjoy each divine moment having a Divine Supreme Love affair with your Source, Best friend within. Appreciate your eternal invisible dancing partner, Who dances with you the way you want to dance. You are always right there witnessing and experiencing your own projection of what you have agreed with as real, when you are real and all else is temporary and changing, while remaining the same light show. Focus on the Source of love.
“If out of love, hate or fear, an embodied soul fixes his mind with intelligence and complete concentration upon a particular form he will certainly attain the form.” Srimad Bhagavatam 11.9.22
To have a Divine life, you will need to question everything that has been taught to de-power humanity with lies, force, and trinkets. Trust your inner knowing senses and core spiritual reasoning, study the wisdom of the ages, not the word-conditioned opinions of paid actors calling it truth, when only parroting the media acculturation that has been directing humanity to act like dimwits by following the mind, when we are godlike eternal spirit-souls with all God-like powers, qualities and abilities.
I am grateful for you, dear one, because you are a rare and truly precious spirit-soul, a a priceless treasure, an effulgent God-particle. And, I am especially grateful for the generous souls who make this work possible through their donations for the purpose of offering this teaching to as many people as possible for the greater good of all. T.E.A.M is together each achieves more. With love, Terry
Right where I am is the perfect place for me to realize God/Source and flourish.

This is what I needed to hear today what you say in your writing, "When choosing a good friend, would you feel safe trekking Mount Everest with this person or would the person let go of your hand and drop the rope if you started falling, wave bye bye and say, “Have a nice day,” or hold onto your hand tightly and use the rope to pull you to safety? Observe how someone talks about and treats others to know how that person will also talk about and treat you. To have a good friend, you have to be a good friend."
Truth and big wisdom to help us on the path!
I love you Terry ever since the early eighties when you had the ministry in LaJolla, I can't spell it now. I would love it if you'd watch this Samadi movie Part III, at least for a few minutes....if you haven't already... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu-Nw_ea9N4 I am in the joy and peace of Being daily, with no self either and I began with what your email said to do, forty years ago ! in the eighties. It has been a great journey. You were my beginning inspiration then, but you hadn't discovered your True Self yet, I don't think. Now your email shows me clearly that you have or at least beginning to see....LOVE to you....
