I thought I’d provide a brief train of thought to support your interest in experiencing your life as rich and abundant. There are three resonant qualities that—when combined— amplify this experience in your life like little else.

     Generosity of spirit, of thought and intention, of resources,  of actions.  Developing and expressing a generosity of spirit increases the amplitude of everything.  A generous nature is the necessity of blessing.  Generosity blesses all it touches.  It is a generator of plentitude.

     Grace is the expression of the Soul in our life.  The continued forward movement of soul expression in us lends lends our lives a grace that has charisma, an ability to magnetize and amplify Divine Providence to it.  It is well worth contemplating, yearning for, and valuing.  It too is a generator of plentitude.

     Gratitude is another generator of an abundant life.  Complete, humble gratitude at the inception of a desire or action signals recognition that the abundance is already there, is made ready for us, is a gift.  The responsive universe acknowledges this without fail.  Gratitude throughout all processes of our lives soothes all outgoing and incoming waves, calms them and brings an ease.  Gratitude is like a magnificent rudder that steers us more surely.  Learning the secrets of the grateful heart is a very beneficial thing.

Generosity, Grace and Gratitude expressed as a unified frequency, are an extraordinary trio.  Combined, they amount to a mega-attractor that amplifies and gives harmonic resonance to the incoming waves of cosmic prosperity.  And they are magnifiers of that expression in our lives, becoming the gift that our energy field then shares with the world around us. And together they express light in an extraordinary way.

It is the genuine gratitude of our thoughts, the generosity of our hearts, the implicit grace of the limitless intelligence of the universe that have literally created our lives and this planet—along with their abundant resources.

It is our fathomless blessing to receive and share these.  The G-Force of the three Gs.  Take them out for a spin this weekend.  Be generous with your words and smile.  Express the Grace, the Soul, within you.  Share your grateful heart.  

Let’s do this together as we shop, spend time with friends, family, strangers.  Let’s make it our most magnified period ever!

I’ll be spreading the 3 Gs around.  I hope you feel like it too.

Big Hugs,
Mayet

In Anchorage, Alaska, public hearings were held by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1987.  The purpose of these hearings was to share information and take public opinion about the impact of the trans-Alaskan oil pipeline on the Porcupine Caribou herds in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWAR.)  This area was the primary calving-ground for those caribou herds.  

I attended the hearings, listening to many pundits, oil experts and biologists responding to public questions and comments.  On my left, was a Gwitch’in man of the Athabaskan Nation. His people often call themselves the “Caribou People” because of their symbiotic relationship with those herds over thousands of years.  On my right sat an Inupiat man also from one of the dozen or more villages of Northeastern Alaska where the Porcupine Caribou herds range.

During the breaks we remained in our seats and chatted.  After several hours of discourse about data obtained from tagging, darting, studying and tracking the caribou by small plane over some years, the Gwitch’in man spoke across me to the Inuit man, saying, “They don’t know that nothing behaves naturally when observed in this way?” 

“Nothing wants to be stared at, poked, buzzed and chased… nothing good can come of it,” said the second man.  I raised my eyebrows and laughed prompting the Gwitch’in to say, “Do you like to be invaded and analyzed?”  

“To understand the caribou you must live among them with respect over time,” the other said to us.

“Or ask the people who do,” I quipped. 

Then we all laughed and they slapped their knees, sharing a wry look.   

I’ve often thought about how that applies to people. To paraphrase: No one wants to be speculated about and analyzed, it’s invasive.  It never leads to understanding.  

To deeply understand others we must live among them with respect over time.  Without real knowledge of someone, all we can do is speculate, which is just gossip. Which is what people are doing about each other much of the time.  It doesn’t foster trust.

How do we choose to understand people around us, or our world. Do we approach that with respect? Or do we speculate, assigning agendas and motivations to them without any real knowledge of them and without even asking them?

Something interesting to ponder.

Sending you warm greetings today,

Having written about grace last time, I thought it would be nice to have a collection of quotes about grace—a small compilation of things others have said about grace.

So here’s a dozen or so quotes on Grace for us to ponder and ruminate on, seeing what further thoughts they bring to mind.

Enjoy!

A few quotes on Grace

When we open our hearts to each other we allow grace to enter. It is as simple as that.  
     ~Kathleen A. Brehony in Ordinary Grace

There is a power which inspires the heart, enlightens the mind, and sanctifies human character. It is the power of Grace. 
     ~ Paul Brenton quoted in Meditations for People in Crisis

Grace can never be possessed but can only be received afresh again and again. 
     ~ Rudolf Bultmann

Grace is the kindling of the heart and the illumination of the mind. 
     ~ John S. Dunne in The Music of Time 

Community is another source of grace. In community we are meant to grace one another; to be sources of grace; healers by way of grace. 
     ~ Matthew Fox in Confessions

Our own experiences of grace give an inchoate meaning to the stories of our lives. They hint at purposes which exist beyond ourselves. 
     ~ Andrew M. Greeley in God in Popular Culture

In becoming grace, you start from a place of emptiness.  When you empty of expectations, you open to the wonders that happen in moments and nanoseconds of revelation. With God’s grace active in you, nothing can go wrong. Every thought, word and action, when joined with grace, will be formless and serve goodness. 
     ~ Shoni Labowitz in Miraculous Living

Grace is the light or electricity or juice or breeze that takes you from your isolated place and puts you with others who are as startled and embarrassed and eventually grateful as you are to be there. 
     ~ Anne Lamott in Traveling Mercies

Grace happens when we act with others on behalf of our world. 
     ~ Joanna Macy in Lighting a Candle by Molly Young Brown

Grace overcomes shame, not by uncovering an overlooked cache of excellence in ourselves but simply by accepting us, the whole of us, with no regard to our beauty or our ugliness, our virtue or our vices.  We are accepted wholesale. Accepted with no possibility of being rejected. Accepted once and accepted forever. Accepted at the ultimate depth of our being. 
     ~ Lewis B. Smedes in Shame and Grace

Grace happens to me when I feel a surge of honest joy that makes me glad to be alive in spite of valid reasons for feeling terrible. Grace happens when I accept my wife’s offer to begin again with me in love after I have hurt her. Grace is the gift of feeling sure that our future, even our dying, is going to turn out more splendidly than we dare imagine. Grace is the feeling of hope. 
     ~ Louis B. Smedes in How Can It Be Alright When Everything is All Wrong

Grace is uncontrollable, arbitrary to our senses, apparently unmerited. It’s utterly free, ferociously strong, about as mysterious a thing as you could imagine. First rule of grace: grace rules. 
     ~ Brian Doyle quoted in The Best Spiritual Writing 2001 edited by Philip Zaleski

We think of grace arriving like an ambulance, a just-in-time delivery, an invisible divine cavalry cresting a hill of troubles, a bolt of jazz from the glittering horn of the Creator, but maybe it lives in us… Maybe we’re loaded with grace. Maybe we’re stuffed with the stuff. Maybe it’s stitched into our DNA, a fifth ingredient in the deoxyribonucleic acidic soup. 
     ~ Brian Doyle quoted in The Best Spiritual Writing of 2001 edited by Philip Zaleski

Come, not to discuss the words of others,
But to listen…
For in the sacredness of every moment
Divine Grace is telling you alone 
All that is required.
      ~ Jean Pierre de Caussade quoted in The Inner Treasure by Jonathan Star

Grace, the creative life of God, is always coming, always entering to refresh and enhance our lives. 
     ~ C.S. Lewis quoted in God Hunger by John Kirvan
