There are only three states of being we run around in all
day long. If we could be even a little more aware of
which one we're wearing during each moment of the day,
we'd have a big leg up to changing our vibrations.
Victim Mode
This is the oh-dear-they're-doing-it-to-me-again-
and-there's-nothing-I-can-do-about-it frame of mind where
we go nowhere but around in negative circles, forever
magnetizing the same old same old.
Flat-Lining Mode
In the Flat-Lining Mode, we're neither down nor up, just
bumping along on second-rate gas. We're not flowing
our energy to anything, and surely not attracting
anything. In Flat-Lining we're not only living the
results of our own erratic flowing of energy, but that of
everybody else's. (Like attracts likes, remember?)
Very unpleasant! And what most of us do most of the
time.
Turned On Mode
Now you're up! You're on! Your high
frequencies are no longer attracting the negative vibes of
others. You're fueled with the pure positive energy
of well-being, vibrating in harmony with your Expanded
Self, flowing positive energy out and pulling positive
events in while being wrapped in unsurpassed safety and
security.
Victim Mode, Flat-Lining, or Turned On, we will always
find ourselves in one of the three. Our goal, of
course, is to make it the Turned On Mode as often and as
long as we can, which is why we look to the high, high
energy of appreciation.

The
vibration of appreciation is the most profoundly important
frequency we can hold, for it is the closest thing to
cosmic love that exists. When we're appreciating,
we're in perfect vibrational harmony with our Source
energy, or God energy--call it what you will.
You can jump-start it, or you can jam straight to the
feeling, it makes no difference. What's important to
know is that one minute of flowing the intense energy of
appreciation overrides thousands of hours spent in Victim
or Flat-Lining Modes.
But take care! No fair just thinking
appreciation. That won't wash. Thinking is
out, feeling is in. You can't just make a decision
that you're going to appreciate something and let it go at
that. There has to be that surge of significant
emotion flowing up from the depths of your being for this
to work.
But neither does that mean you have to have just been
saved from a life-threatening incident by 911 rescue
workers to feel deep appreciation. In fact, flowing
appreciation is really no big deal. You can flow it
intensely to a street sign if you want. Don't laugh,
I do that all the time stay in shape. Like any
skill, flowing energy requires constant practice, and
there's something so absurdly satisfying about flowing
buckets of love, adoration, and appreciation to
"SLOW: MEN AT WORK." I flow it to
stoplights, billboards, birds overhead, a tree stump, a
dead animal, a winter storm, and of course, to people.
Sometimes in the supermarket I'll pick the meanest looking
low-life I can find and just open up and douse the
unsuspecting soul with the highest vibration I can
muster. Maybe it's appreciation, maybe it's
honest-to-God love. One time I did that to a
scroungy old biddy who looked like she'd rather eat me
than let me pass. I blasted her, and in that very
moment she wheeled around, searching angrily for whatever
she felt hit her, while I smiled back in pure innocence.
That's my "Hug-A-Bum" game where I envision me
and a perfect stranger on the street (or wherever) rushing
into each other's arms like we were old best friends who
hadn't seen each other for ages. You start with
acceptable "targets," like someone you wouldn't
mind sitting next to at a lunch counter if you had
to. Then you move up, bit by bit, to targets that
are increasingly difficult for you socially, until finally
it doesn't make any difference what kind of slobs they
are.
You just see -- and deeply feel -- the two of you joyfully
recognizing each other and flying together in this
gigantic bear hug as profound love surges between
you. I don't know how many people I've done that
with while walking down a street, and watched them turn
around to look for whatever it was they felt.
The vibration of appreciation is also the highest, fastest
vibration we can use for attraction. If we would
shoot appreciation at anything and everything, all day
long, we'd be guaranteed to have heaven on earth in no
time, living happily ever after with more friends, more
money, more beautiful relationships, in total safety, and
closer to the God of our Being than it's possible to
fathom.
