Appreciation vs. Gratitude

Appreciation vs. Gratitude
Transcription from Abraham-Hicks
Phoenix, AZ 3/1/2008

Guest expressing that she is in a place of “appreciation” of where she is, is weepy:

Abe says: When you are really tuned in, tapped in turned on, there is not that other edgy stuff, what is that about? Remembering how far you have come? You can’t be remembering how far you have come and be in the new place at the same time. It might be some of that yes? ……

Guest: On this day in particular I am very very appreciative of being here now and all the wonderful things that I get to experience and to me it is because I changed my chronic thoughts and I deliberately chose new ones that served me. (She is crying the whole time). Abe says: Yes

More of Abe: You are experiencing perhaps the best example of gratitude we have ever seen, but you are not in a state of appreciation. And the subtle difference between gratitude and appreciation is gratitude is looking back at what you have overcome, appreciation is looking forward to the becoming of that which you have set into motion. Nit picking perhaps, but really worth talking about.
