A Teacher named “The Beloved One.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “The theme for today’s lesson will be on thankfulness, for when one starts looking,
then even in the greatest misery, the greatest disappointment, and in the severest of illnesses, there will always
be something to be thankful for. True thankfulness is from the heart, and inspires optimism for better days ahead,
should they be here on the planet, or be a ‘looking forward’ to the next stage of existence. That is,
if ever a thought was spent on that possibility, and if the faith-muscle has been exercised regularly. It is a deep-down
feeling of knowingness, which propels the human forward. Lack of this knowingness -- of knowing there is life after
death -- is a lack of faith. It is of an un-awakened faith lying dormant, of having lived in a dream-state, in an
illusion, as the real purpose of life has not yet been discovered, and therefore a true heartfelt thankfulness has
never been experienced.
“As the olden records state: ‘In all things, be thankful.’ The question arises: ‘To whom should
you be thankful.’ This is a most wonderful question, as this can instigate the greatest search and discovery
humankind can ever make for itself. This is the moment when the seed-soul gets into action, because it knows that,
if it can inspire the owner by making it hungry for the search of the truth of existence, this will be of great
benefit. So properly speaking, a heartfelt thankfulness is food for the soul; it makes the soul sing, it makes the
soul stronger, it makes the connection to the All That Is, stronger even if the owner of that soul is still not
totally aware, at least it is on the way of becoming aware, for awareness is always enlarging, as is the understanding
of the mysteries of life.
“Life can be so wonderful, when the inner life is allowed some space to grow, and to keep up with the outer
experiences and the depth of feelings involved. One of the greatest things to be thankful for is life itself, and
all the possibilities it brings. The ultimate Giver of Life is of course the Ultimate Creator of all things, even
of every new discovery in oneself, for this is a sure indication that life continues to evolve. Over time more discoveries
will be made by each individual and you will marvel at all the gifts now lying dormant within you, which are waiting
to be discovered, and to be rejoiced over, to be thankful for, as you could not have given those to yourself and
you finally realize that all you have, comes from the One Source and Center and therefore you owe all these gifts
to God. What you do with those gifts is your gift back to God. It is the sharing and in the reciprocating, which
is the greatest thanksgiving of all time and beyond.”
