Beloved Children of Light: 

If man were grateful for the service of the Elements in his body, there could be no illness of body. There could be no illness of mind or emotions if the individual were grateful for the God Intelligence and Substance of Feeling loaned to him by the Cosmic Creator. 

From the Immortal Victorious Three-fold Flame within the heart pulsates forth the never-ending Flame of Love, magically responsive to the directing intelligence of Will. Love - the most sensitive of all Primordial Substance - instantly responds to the fiat of the individual creator; for Life swiftly expresses as the quality the individual chooses to decree by word, thought and feeling into manifestation. 

The pouring forth of Thanksgiving is a glorious, uplifting and expanding expression of Life. It gives not only ease of mind, body and spirit, but it springs up in a limitless profusion of Gifts wherever the attention directs its currents. It is one of the most contagious expressions of Spirit and one of the most unifying activities of God. It is an instantaneous transmutation of hard or discordant feelings, and is a Cosmic Magnetic Power that draws all Good towards the generator of genuine Thanksgiving. It is really the Flame of Life, greeting and loving itself (manifest in many forms), and according to the intensity of the Flame, towards which that gratitude is directed, will the returning currents flow into the being of its generator. 

For the chela to address his gratitude to all Life everywhere, and to the heart of all created Beings, draws an instantaneous response from all Life back to him who thus throws open the door and windows of his soul to the expression of Thanksgiving. Ingratitude and self-pity are grave insults to Life, which is constantly pouring its gifts to man and ofttimes beyond his merits. Every breath that issues from the body of man should contain within it some conscious expression of gratitude to Life. Thus would be kept open the channels for all Good to flow back. 

I thank you, dear ones, for accepting these words of mine and I bless your understanding of their meaning. 

                                                 Love and Blessings,
