My perception of a thing determines my experience of it.
PERCEPTION RECIPE
Material things are congealed energy.
They are atoms and molecules that have bonded together and have slowed down their energy
in such a way that they feel real and solid to the person using them.
Whatever your are sitting upon or lying down upon while reading these words is congealed energy.
If love itself were a congealed energy, what would it look like? We, The Council of 8, think that love as a congealed energy would look like Spirits in human form or animals or birds or plants. All of these were gifted to the planet Earth from love, from the divine creative energy called God. You are surrounded by congealed love everywhere.
If all congealed energy is made from the love of divine creative energy called "God",
then how can any of it be perceived as negative in any way?
1. What is your perception of material things? of technology? of food? of art? of jewelry?
The "thing" itself is not responsible for how it is used.
2. Where or from whom did you learn to have a perception about things? Does it serve you?
3. If your perceptions do not serve you, free yourself with Choice.

I AM THAT I AM RECIPE
The playground where you live is planet Earth. Once it was the playground of the Gods. Once it was the jeweled creation of this solar system. Once it was the most revered location one could sneak away to for rest and relaxation.
You, Spirit-in-human-form, have the capacity to create, to experience, to expand, to materialize.
You can scale down your creations as minutely as you choose, or you can expand and enlarge them as grandiosely as you can imagine. It does not matter, for you are the consciousness behind the experience.
You can point to the experience and identify with it, saying, "I AM THAT."
Then reiterate what you have said by adding, "I AM!"
1. Go through your mind and your feelings, and ask yourself what you have forbidden yourself to love in your experience on planet Earth because you thought loving the material somehow pulled you away from your spiritual growth.
2. Where and When and Why have you allowed your life to feel heavy? To feel burdensome? To feel stressed?
Attitude is simply where you are "at" in your thinking or your feeling.
Loving the material is not just a formula for how to enjoy life.
Rather, it is a reminder that life is here to be enjoyed every moment.
There is no such thing as late; there is only "on time".
There is no such thing as wrong; there is only "a learning experience".
There is no such a thing as not enough; there is only "unaware restriction" in the thinking process.

LOVE OF LIFE RECIPE
When judgments are gone, you can truly savor the magnificent experience you have given yourself to be in a body living life on planet Earth.
Notice what you judge and find a way to forgive it and release it.
Notice who or what does not live up to your expectations, and set them/it free.
Life itself is based on your thoughts and your feelings.
To realize what you think and feel, simply look around you right now.
You are in a playground, and you are the god/goddess who created it.
You can work with groups or singly and truly change your world.
You are creator, and you are creative.
Life is joyful and joyous and intended to be so.
You have the opportunity now to savor everything about your life in the material:
1. Love the form you are, into which the substance called You has been poured.
2. Love the clothing that you choose to decorate it with.
3. Love the food that you choose to feed it.
4. Love the exercise and the interactions with others that you choose to engage in.
5. Love what you sit upon and sleep upon.
6. Love the moment of awakening, when you realize,
“Ah, here I am again in the world of the material. What can I love about it today? How about everything?”

LUCKY TO BE ALIVE RECIPE
As you expand your gratitude from the small moment to the larger overview,
you will eventually find yourself loving yourself.
As an example:
Let us say you sit before a meal and in that moment of gratitude for the meal you think:
“Ah, this food was grown by someone, and it was harvested by someone. It was packaged and delivered by someone. Someone built the building that held the store that offered it for sale. Someone paved the parking lot of that building. Someone printed the advertisements. Someone set up a mail system that I might have the advertisements. Someone created the streets and avenues I traveled on. Someone created what I traveled in to purchase it, and I joined in the world attracting to myself the finances that I might afford it. Then I learned how to cook it or at least how to bring it home and how to present it. And I am indeed grateful.”
Your gratitude began as a small moment and then you traced its existence to a beginning. Then you took a moment to savor the immense amount of camaraderie that went into creating the experience you were grateful for, so that even though you might be an island in creating, the results required creations from others.
As you become able to expand your consciousness from the small to the large in gratitude, you will find yourself not just loving the material world; you will find yourself loving yourself, your community, and humanity. You will find yourself loving God Consciousness and infinite principles, realizing that through all of the love and gratitude you are feeling, you are contributing to the larger plan of love and light on Planet Earth.
