JOURNAL — TAPE #56, SIDE #1
Q: Mark Russell Bell
Q: It’s nine o’clock on Monday. I do feel rested. I’ve added a new part to my prayer. Please, God. (“NO”) Don’t reject (“TTT”) my attempts to love You. It’s comforting to look out(“AT”)side. It’s a beautiful day. (“YEAH”) The air looks clear. Please, God. Don’t reject my attempts to love you. I awoke this morning and read Psalms. The beginning psalms and reflecting about God. So this is my prayer. Adam and Eve failed You but don’t reject my attempts to love You. I surrender my life and will to You. I have many things to do. (“TTT”) Despite (“TTT”) the hell of last night, (“TTT”) I always feel at peace (“UH-HUH”) and I tell You my heart is full. I’m so grateful that You have given me this work to do. So I can take my mind off any unresolved questions. (“FINE”) And prove my love by working on my beautiful book. (“UH-HUH”)

HOW IS ONE ABLE TO FEEL AND EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO GOD FOR THE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE? THERE IS SO MUCH THAT WE ALL TAKE FOR GRANTED, SUCH AS GOOD HEALTH. IT IS EASY TO FORGET HOW MUCH WE HAVE WHEN WE ARE SO BUSY CONCENTRATING UPON WHAT WE WANT. FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES AS WELL AS MISFORTUNE CAN GIVE US A FALSE PERCEPTION OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. “GRATITUDE AND TRANSFORMATION” IS THE TITLE OF A LECTURE PRESENTED BY JEFFREY MISHLOVE AT THE PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCH SOCIETY ON NOVEMBER 24, 1996 THAT EFFECTIVELY EXPLORES THIS ISSUE.
