Gratitude is a context. Appreciation is a context. Even coherence is a context.

You either live in a context you create, or you live in a context that is given to you.
The more you live in a context created by you the more you have a Self.
It can even be said: Self is a context… or maybe it is the sum total of the contexts you live in, you live through.
The reason my own numbers are consistent is because I live my whole life, public, private, unconscious, even my dreams, out of a consistent sets of contexts: gratitude, appreciation, expanding, service, joy, curiosity, flying the spirit, etc.
I don’t only talk about those… talking about flying isn’t. I live them, or more precisely, I live FROM them. I act from them. I speak from them. I do my work, walk, eat, drink tea, take a shower, make a phone call, do the dishes, sleep… from them, 95% of the time.
The rest of the time, 5% I am an a-hole like everyone, stingy, selfish, angry, offended, vengeful, weak, hopeless, lazy, haughty, condescending… just like you. But it is only 5% of the time, including my sleep. So my deviation from my core is 5%, while yours may be 200, 300, 1000 percent.
