* '''Redefine the Way You See Things.''' When you learn to give your mind a new interpretation of your reality, you begin to see an entirely different world. With this practice of giving [[Gratitude]] for our lives, we become aware of our personal stories, point of view, emotional states and our power to create. Giving [[Gratitude]] creates happiness in our heart. We can be fulfilled when otherwise we would have been frustrated. In this strategy, we practice redefining the way we see things, turning negatives into positives. | * '''Redefine the Way You See Things.'''

Closely analyze the kind of behavior that is encouraged, and discouraged, in the groups to which you belong. For any given group, look at its main purpose, the core of its beliefs and what has brought that group together. Every group has a purpose or belief which has organized it. Most people are too concerned about what others think of them, and its important to detach from what others think, and focus on what you think. In becoming unified we must learn to understand interdependence within community as a spiritual principle of [[unified cooperation]] and then as an actualized reality. When one is participating in group consciousness, one must retain his or her individual identity, however, also maintain a conscious group identity. Once one is living in group consciousness, one realizes all aspects are [[God]] consciousness and the energetic reality expands the inner desire to learn to live harmoniously as a spiritually free [[Cosmic Citizen]]. The gnostic knowledge gained is that one can maintain a sense of individual identity and group identity simultaneously. | ||
