My so loved chelas, I come this day bringing you the feeling of the Spirit of Grace, that so little understood Quality, which embodies beauty, holiness, mercy and many other attributes, and which should be coupled with the feeling of gratitude - of thanksgiving. 

It has been said that "Grace" is an endowed Quality, but I tell you it is a beautiful sight to witness the chelas 'growing in Grace. True, all God Qualities are within the Flaming Immortal Victorious Threefold Flame, and in that sense "Grace" is endowed upon the Children of The Father-Mother God, but few individuals there are who are the manifest examples of Grace in all they do. To give gratitude unto the One Supreme Source for all blessings received, for the blessing of Life Itself, is to be enfolded in the Spirit of Grace, and that which one IS or BECOMES radiates to the Over-all Presence of Life. 

The Virtue of Thanksgiving 

Think a moment on 'thanksgiving'. When an individual's heart releases the essence of gratitude, he is immediately giving praise or love for some benefaction. Since all Good is the Essence of Spirituality, there flows from the individual a paean of praise which immediately contributes, or adds, to the over-all momentum of the Spirit of the One Supreme Source of all there is, and that exultation traverses the universe. 

What keeps a Virtue Active? 

Let Us discourse a moment about the factor which keeps a Quality active, or shall we say, pulsating... 

The Hierarchy and all Foci representing the Virtues of God diffuse that specific radiation to a Planet which draws and holds the Focus of every Grace. Were there no life or Guardian Beings Who pledge to draw these Foci of Light, Life and Virtue, the Planet would return to nothingness through disintegration. 

Upon the Planet Earth, as is the case of all Planets of the System, Guardian Beings since the beginning of life upon the Planet have drawn and kept the Virtues active through rhythmic pulsation, nourishing the inner bodies of the unconscious lifestreams upon the various Planets, and as mankind evolved, the lifestreams themselves developed the invocative powers and increased the beneficent radiation of these Foci in the Universe. 

In order for the Virtues to become more intensified, the demand must come from mankind themselves, and then the natural radiation of Grace, as is the Quality in mention, becomes a more powerful and potent force in the lives of the inhabitants of the Planet. This instruction has been released to you in simi­lar form before, but because of the necessity of the hour, it is expedient that it again be brought to your attention. 

Since it is my great privilege to ascend the Ladder of Evolution to the Office of Cosmic Holy Spirit, come this Thanksgiving Day, November 26th, Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-four I would counsel all my beloved chelas to develop in the Spirit of Grace, for Grace is of the Holy Spirit, and the more impregnated the chelas' beings are with this Virtue, the greater can be the outpouring which they receive through their attention upon, and thanksgiving for the Breath of Life, as dispensed from the Heart of the Maha Chohan, It having been received from the Cosmic Holy Spirit. 

As we approach the time of Thanksgiving, set aside in America for the sending forth of gratitude to The One Source for blessings bestowed upon all life using the Planet Earth as a habitat, I would counsel you to make each day of your existence on the Earth plane one of thanksgiving and gratitude for being in embodiment at this time and for the privilege of serving consciously with the Spiritual Hierarchy. You would then be but emulating those who have preceded you into Ascendancy in the Light, and Who are now your Guardian Sisters and Brothers, eager and willing to assist you as you endeavor to understand the meaning of Spiritual Grace, and through understanding, become that Virtue in action at all times. 

This is not so difficult to attain, as the outer consciousness would imagine... 

We are aware that the Godhead is a Fountain of Perfection, through which flows all the beneficent Qualities or Virtues. There could be no Quality if the Life Energy were not present, for the Quality is Energy ever-pulsating, charged with the predominant feeling of the Godhead. 

The Cosmic "I AM" Presence, the Cosmic Beings, and the Ascended Masters all contribute to the Qualities by consciously, and constantly, setting the Life Energy of the universe into motion. Thus is the Universal Light Substance drawn into action by the Perfected Beings for the betterment of the Universe and those of mankind who choose to avail themselves of these concentrated Virtues. It is the responsibility of the chelas who have been bathed and constantly enfolded in the Virtues of the Father-Mother God, through the conscious volunteering of the Perfected Beings, to dispense the Virtues of God to all their fellowmen, in the hope that the chelas would become radiating centers at all times  of these requires Qualities. 

This is not just a request on my part, this is an Edict of the Spiritual Hierarchy, for the chelas who have received so magnanimously of these Blessings are now required to be Foci of the Virtues of God wherever they move. 

The Development of Multiple Virtues 

Some individuals are developed along a certain phase of God Perfection, others along another. Use the momentum of the Quality which you know is predominant in your lifestream to bless all life, at the same time invoking your own "I AM" Presence to give you assistance in developing those Virtues which require energizing in your lifestream. This leaves the door open for those of us who are dispensing centers for the God Virtues, to assist you by contributing our Feeling and the very Essence of the Quality itself. 

When you follow the practice of blessing life with the Virtue which is active in your being, you will be amazed at the way this clears the path for the other God Virtues to flow into, and become part of your lifestream. 

I would remind you that this cannot be accomplished through effort of human the little self must surrender itself to The Christ within, and let that Holy One be the Directing Intelligence of your being. 

As we enter the Season designated in the outer consciousness of Thanksgiving, let all the chelas realize the meaning of Spiritual Thanksgiving and be grateful to their Source for the Blessings so lavishly showered upon them. 

I, personally, shall most gratefully bow before the Father-Mother God for the conscious communion which I have with my so loved chelas and which shall continue in intensity, for the love which they so generously pour forth to my humble self. 

God bless you, and thank you.
