Just a personal experience with regards to Sarah's suggestion to be thankful:
1) More than one person in real life and on these forums, agree with Sarah's suggestion to be thankful for what you have because there are so many people are much worse off. You would do well to be open to her words to be thankful.
2) This particular suggestion has never worked at all with me. In fact, it only served to increase my self-judgment for not feeling good because I had so much discomfort and unhappiness. For my personal journey, gratitude and thankfulness flow naturally from balance; for me, forcing myself to focus on gratitude and thankfulness when my vibration was not there due to imbalances only further distorted my being. My inability to feel gratitude furthered my sense of unworthiness.
I'm not saying to ignore it, but I just want to comment that in my personal journey, the balance gave rise to gratitude, rather than vice versa. Your journey, ultimately, is your own, and your method of balance may well be different than anything suggested in this thread. It's a matter of beautiful trial and error, and I wish you the best.

Quote:103.8 Questioner: I didn’t mean to cover previously covered material. I meant to add any of this to specifically focus on at this time, the best possible thing that we or the instrument could do to improve these energies, the salient activity.
Ra: I am Ra. Before responding we ask your vigilance during pain flares as the channel is acceptable but is being distorted periodically by the severe physical distortions of the yellow-ray, chemical body of the instrument.
Those salient items for the support group are praise and thanksgiving in harmony. These the group has accomplished with such a degree of acceptability that we cavil not at the harmony of the group.
As to the instrument, the journey from worth in action to worth in esse is arduous. The entity has denied itself in order to be free from that which it calls addiction. This sort of martyrdom, and here we speak of the small but symbolically great sacrifice of the clothing, causes the entity to frame a selfhood in poorness which feeds unworthiness unless the poverty is seen to be true richness. In other words, good works for the wrong reasons cause confusion and distortion. We encourage the instrument to value itself and to see that its true requirements are valued by the self. We suggest contemplation of true richness of being.
