Appreciation As a Spiritual Practice
Remember the words, “What do you say” as the prompt for “Thank you” before hungrily eating the treat or excitedly taking whatever was given to us?

Advanced Faith (4) – Fast & PrayJesus made it clear, and the apostle Paul repeated the assertion later, that fasting is a vital key to unleashing spiritual power. In the Greek Orthodox Church, there are still many people who become strict vegetarians during lent; for the same reason, Catholics are encouraged to give up one thing for forty days; the idea has even been picked up by the Muslim faith where, during Ramadan, no food is ingested between sunrise and sunset.

To be able to learn how to tap into cosmic consciousness, you must first understand its full meaning and the effect that it can have on some people. Not everyone is capable of tapping into cosmic consciousness and only those that truly believe in it are the ones that are able to achieve it, you other words, you must not only understand but also believe in cosmic consciousness.
Men Should Repent (Mark 6:12)If some wrong in our lives is pointed out, our first reaction is to defend ourselves. If indeed there is something wrong in our lives, by denying it we only give it a chance to get worse. It is like a sick person who refuses to accept that he has a problem that needs the attention of a doctor.
