This is about gratitude. Saying thank you. For me it's like there is two 'thank you'.

We can either say thank you in a sense of giving credit to someone for something. This gives a sense of separation, servitude, bondage, ultimately enslavement. We have been programmed to think like that for long. Taking credit is the first step in abridging free will.

If we really believe, be live, that we are One, that all is God, that it is the very same essence flowing through all, as all, then nothing, noone, is to take credit for anything except the One, except All, except Everything.

For me this is a very important aspect in our evolution right now. I experience it personally as when i discard all taking credit, then those very things, blessings, flood in and flow out through me. They flow out as they're not mine. It is beautifully said in the Tao te ching :
"[The saint] produces without appropriating
He acts without expecting
His piece achieved, he does not attach to it
And since he's not attached to it,
His piece will flourish"


See how the water you drink does not take credit and becomes you.
See how the fruit of the trees, the air you breathe, the earth and the sun all do the same.

True gratitude is acknowledging the essence of the One and your appreciation for it. What you see and love in other people, in the sun, the trees and everything, is yourself. Do not fear offending them for not giving them credit. This is all but an offense. This is a liberation, a realization of divinity for them and yourself and All. This is why we can 'co-create our reality'. Because we see the creator in ourselves, other selves, and everything.

We give ourselves and all that we are to the creator. The greatest service is to give yourself up. As we have no credit for and no attachment to ourselves, we flourish.

As we do that, we can truly create a system where money is gone and all is given. The earth, the water and the fruits of the trees are given freely. We are to do the same. How great is a world like this.
