The Beloved One: “The [[discussion]] today will be on heart-felt [[thankfulness]] as this state will ever more invite reasons to be grateful. Over time and with [[practice]] this can be a permanent state of [[being]]. When a [[soul]] seeks a light-filled [[path]], the easiest way to 'get there' is with thankfulness. And never mind how tough the going gets, there is always something more to be thankful for. There are many ‘hidden’ [[blessings]] in life which are accepted and taken for granted as normal happenings, until something occurs, which [[changes]] everything.
“Take the matter of good [[health]] for instance, it is taken for granted that you are able to get out of bed by yourself in the morning, and of course, that is as it ought to be but there are many who for some reason or other find themselves incapacitated, be it through an [[accident]] or a chronic [[disease]] and this can be accompanied by much [[pain]]. Then it becomes very difficult to be grateful, especially when the [[future]] seems to be bleak and matters do not develop as you would like and carefully laid plans go ‘awry.’
“It is then that you need to check your [[attitude]] towards everything. In case you tend to be quite regimented in your approach to life, perhaps it is time to allow yourself to ‘go with the [[flow]].’ It is the pessimist who easily gets discouraged whilst the optimist lets nothing deter him or her. Of course, there are all the different shades of attitude in between these [[extremes]] of either or.
“They are the optimists, who have taken on the training in self-[[discipline]], [[perseverance]] and gratefulness; who flex their [[faith]] and [[trust]] muscles and grow an indomitable [[spirit]], which helps them overcome maladies which would cripple the pessimistically inclined [[human]].
“It is this spiritual [[quality]] in a person, who dares to live in [[faith]] and [[hope]] and sees [[the universe]] as a friendly place in which to live. It is a precious learning curve to [[trust]] in the heavenly [[over-care]]. It is in confident living the mortal life in conscious awareness of the choice and [[decision]] making process, that leads to an unshakable trust in the [[goodness]] of God. It is this gradual [[awakening]] into greater ‘[[self]]-hood’ with increasing awareness that life has [[purpose]] and that the spirit-body continues on after the [[dissolution]] of the material body, no matter whatever the ending.
“You live on such a wonderfully precious and beautiful planet, yet there are slumbering and spiritually near dormant [[individuals]] who are possessed by [[greed]] and go on marring her [[beautiful]] face. The Spirit of the planet is a living and [[breathing]] entity, who tries desperately despite the hardship invoked upon her, to stay in energetic [[balance]].
===Closing===
“There is an increasing need for all you [[citizens]] of [[this planet]] to be more wakeful and thoughtfully conscious. Being loving and thankful for this your beautiful planet-home which is [[birthing]] and evolving your immortal [[soul]], so you can learn to [[sing]] to the [[glory]] of God by expressing your thankfulness of being alive and well. [[Become]] truly alive and aware of all the reasons for thankfulness, so your attitude changes to one of [[gratitude]] to the [[Creator]] and Giver of Life.”
