Thanksgiving: what I have understood is that this festivity has to do with being grateful to nature, at the end of a season, for having provided the harvest that resulted from the seeds, sown in spring.

Such a festivity is found all over the world and is known under several different names.
Because spring and autumn do not occur at the same time all over the world, similar festivities are held in different parts of the world at different time schemes.

What I have learnt from it all is that in essence all those festivities everywhere mean the same: celebrating Nature’s abundance in the different seasons.

And everywhere people have managed to make something different of something so simple.

In understanding this, it is so interesting to read about and experience how civilizations in the far past have celebrated the same festivities, albeit being much more one with the Earth in her giving and taking as a kind of sacred play, where human beings just felt they were part of.

Nowadays we have separated ourselves so much from nature, that we more or less have become a species, no longer belonging to this earth in the way our ancestors did.

Perhaps it is in our evolutionary scheme to become separated from our earth, perhaps we are destined to the stars and perhaps this will be our next quantum jump. I do not know.

But as long as we live on planet earth I guess we should continue celebrating life in gratitude for that what is. The older one grows, the more one appreciates the simple fact that having been given the gift of Life, the fact that one breathes in and out, is the most joyful fact there is and to be able to watch this energy develop in such myriads of ways.

Therefore, for every grown-up, children are our best teachers because they simply know how to enjoy life in this simplicity.

So giving thanks to me means the same as being grateful. If one is able to be grateful for every new day, life is one BIG thanksgiving :)

Hi Mallika,

Sounds nice. You know this may be the last Thanksgiving in the world as we knew it. The difference being desirable or undesirable. Of course that depends on everyone and the sum total of the resulting choices between truth and fiction.

Thanksgiving results in a spike in memetic propagation. Of course the memes can be truth or fiction. The fictional memes eventually die off, the truth lives on.

Christmas results in an even greater spike.

I now ponder ways to take advantage of it.

Wishing all of you the highest good, whatever that may turn out to be.

Here is something to talk about at Thanksgiving.

The Dynamics of Ego around Leadership and Power Holding Individuals

I have witnessed the dynamics in my own realm of experience, and I can see looking through history how they have played a role, it can apply to everyone from Presidents to best selling authors. It is not limited to those serving an individual but the entire collective, the people of a Nation or even the Supreme Being. I often ponder what went wrong with Adolf Hitler for example, what took that venture from light into the darkness? It wasn’t Adolf Hitler, but those around him and the world itself, but most explicitly the source disconnected ego. The deluded like to blame an individual or inanimate objects to avoid recognition of their own collective and individual faults, their failure to live the absolute one truth choosing rather a fiction, and having a lack of faith regarding The Reality.

We would note that the Supreme Being can see right through you and know your egoic intention and any illusion you may attempt to create. It will quickly disarm your fiction with the truth and the power of the question.

Those that serve or aid or consult to the leader or power holding individual can act out of fear and a desire for security.

1. They seek to surround and isolate the leader or power holder and create dependency, at least the illusion resulting in dependency. They may even attempt to plant seeds of fear in the mind of the leader to thwart others or changes, that they see as a threat to their coveted position. This is very detrimental to the success of the leader or power holding individual and if you want to succeed you must be cognizant of this lurking factor.

2. Multiple individuals may even conspire together to maintain their “hold” and position in the world of the leader or power holding individual.

3. They will present themselves as the source of certain ideas, ingenuity, and solutions when they are in deed are not the original source. The folly in this is they are unable to carry through as the original source would have been able to because it was the actual source of the creative genius, wisdom, understanding, or accumulated experience or being a full blown connection to the true Source, the Supreme Being both noun and verb.

4. The personal agenda, fictions held as belief and interests of the servant, aid, consultant or expert can also taint the opinion and intelligence provided the leader or power holding individual.

4. The servant aid or assistant or expert may do this all subconsciously because they have yet to master the discernment of the source of what appears in their mind and whether it is based on truth or fiction.

5. A leader that keeps pure in his connection to the Supreme Being and remains true to his authentic self shall see through the true intentions of those around them, in which case he can apply corrective enlightenment and work to alleviate their fears and the fictions that create it.

One would want everyone to succeed because they are my own self, although perhaps you represent a deluded self, so you have nothing to fear or reason to feel threatened; unless it is the truth and you are attempting to live a fiction. The leader can only hope to embrace and transform those around them and alleviate any fear or fictions in their minds.

To the leaders and all in the world for that matter, I would also say that when the supreme being, physically manifest presents himself to you do not cast him away or thwart him for fear of losing your power or position, for it is he that gives you that and it is he that will take it away, when your motivation does not come from the authentic self.

At this time, you have all failed to embrace me and the solutions fully, I see that some may have in part, but this does not suffice, and I cannot force you, yet the gravity of the situation will bring impetus, there may still be time, I have not yet seen the sign and felt the impetus to act either way, for it is I that will decide whether humanity shall be preserved in whole or in part. It is you that make the decision individually and collectively as to what I will decide. I am here only to execute the will of the Supreme Being. But don’t worry no being will die, for there is only one being and I cannot die.

If you deny this one, you will perish.

As seen in Infinite Play of course.

As for Obama’s selections, at first I had a doubt, then I realized that perhaps he was actually following the Wisdom Based Presidency Papers to the “T”, relentlessly, the directive to embrace and transform and not to exclude. Thus far it appears that Obama has indeed been religious about it which is why he became President against many odds as a result of reading them.

Do you have your attention in the right place? Who do your intentions serve? Do you speak of beliefs or knowing, possibility and probability? Do you divide with labels? What is the source of that which comes to mind, spirit or ego?

Wishing you all the highest good for you.
