Gratitude

The foundation of all spiritual sensations is gratitude. First things first. We take everything for granted all the time, until we have a near death experience and we wake up. I have heard it said, and i agree, that a near death experience that you survive is the greatest thing that can happen to a person. It certainly was for me. We have been given the greatest of all, human birth, and each breath is a profound gift. Each breath doesnt have to come to us... and that it does is incredible and mystical. Taking things for granted seems to be the human condition but if you establish yourself in gratitude even for a few moments at a time, a whole world of peace and enlightenment unfolds for you.
