Beloved beings expressing gratitude, 

This is a season of great rejoicing for the entire human race, a time to express gratitude for the many blessings received during this year, in preparation for mankind's yearly harvest at Shamballa before the great Lord of the World on the last day of the eleventh month of each year. It is a time when great cosmic currents are further intensified in anticipation of the incoming year, and the Heavenly Host looks forward to the new year, hoping that many more lifestreams will hear the voice of their Holy Christ Selves calling them forth to step upon the path of a magnificent spiritual journey filled with great change and much higher energies and vibrations. 

During this week, I ask you to create your own 'prayer of gratitude' to the beloved Presence of God I AM, your Holy Christ Self, Shamballa, the Ascended Masters, Angels, Elementals, and all your brothers and sisters on the Earth for their presence in your life in the past, during this year and the many years yet to come. After you have lovingly created this adoration to life, make it part of your spiritual ritual by giving it at least once a week. In this way, you are applying your creative powers along with a new and clearer connection to your God Presence, bringing more light into the physical world through the power of gratitude you now command. 

Whenever a challenging situation happens in your life, endeavor to see and accept the positive aspect of each condition and then be grateful to God for the ability to perceive its good and benefit from it. Silently decree to yourself: I AM one with God and God is in control wherever I AM, therefore, I AM always in a state of perfect peace! Then, take a few slow deep breaths and place your attention upon your I AM Presence, thereby intensifying your natural protection which always surrounds you whether you are consciously aware of this fact or not. Remember, beloved ones, your mystic mantle of pure white light was lovingly given to you by God as part of your divine heritage and will remain with you forever. Accept it now, dear chelas, and you shall come to fully know: The harmony of your true being is your ultimate protection at all times! 

Rejoice in your yearly harvest of love, wisdom and power during this time, and grow, expand and ascend another step or two, upward into the heart of your divine reality into your magnificent God Presence. 

Thank you for your service of light and love for yourself and all life! I AM grateful for each opportunity to co-serve with you from the higher realms of light for the good of your entire planet. Love and blessings to you, each one, as you now prepare to enter the final month of this year! 

Your friend in the light, Serapis Bey
