Blessed of My Heart, 

As the Love vibration of the Sacred Fire now begins to take full command of all evolutions on Earth and we become one—One Breathe, One Heartbeat, One Body, One Energy and Vibration, One Consciousness of pure thought and feeling, One Love and One Desire; let us begin the first morning of this new and glorious year decreeing together: * Let there be love! . . . Let there be comfort! . . . .Let there be harmony! . . . .Let there be peace! (*3X) . . . Now and forever sustained! So be it! 

The new vibration of infinite consciousness is now beginning to flow into, through and around the entire planet Earth affecting all life beloved ones. For this reason all chelas and lightworkers must unite their energies, holding space for the upcoming transformation to take place easily and effortlessly. When and how this change will happen cannot be predicted for it is dependent upon how life, especially the Human Family, responds to this much higher and finer vibration. 

It is also of the ultimate importance blessed ones, that you raise your vision to the highest level possible. This is truly the time to sustain your energies, your vibration and your consciousness higher than ever before, fully exemplifying the Christ in Action in the physical world of form. Everything you think, feel, say and do must be far, far above the level you have been previously used to. 

There is no longer room in your consciousness to dwell in the shadows or feel sorry for yourself. It is time to choose to live fully and happily in the Light as the great Beings of Light you truly are. Yes, there will be times when you will falter on your path beloved ones. When this happens do not focus upon your misstep or error in judgment. Instead, quickly return your attention to your divinity and continue on your sacred journey! 

To assist you on your path we will begin this year by examining the Seven Divine Virtues, the positive and opposite aspects of the so called seven deadly sins. In the future these wonderful divine qualities will be referred to often and your task shall be to study their various characteristics until they are understood, accepted and integrated into your beings and worlds. Let it be noted that that at no time will I give power or authority to the seven transgressions against all that is sacred by naming them and calling them forth. If you feel the need to be reminded of them they can be found in many other locations and publications.  

As you begin the first month of this pure and perfect year I would like to spend a few moments on each divine virtue and their many attendant blessings to begin the process of anchoring them in your hearts and minds. I will begin with one it appears each of you sitting before me now is in need of after the wonderful activities of last night. It is the wonderful quality of enthusiasm. How difficult to go through life without this blessing! Have you noticed that whenever someone is anchored firmly in this sacred energy it is contagious and touches everyone and everything around them? Additionally, several other wonderful benefits are available to you with the gift of enthusiasm, such as: eagerness, interest, dedication, devotion, commitment, zest and passion. 

The second blessing is one each and every one of you is quite familiar with. It is the all important quality of faith; the knowing that all things are possible, having confidence in and trusting yourself and others, and a deep inner conviction for what you stand for and believe in. Are you aware of the several other wonderful gifts that come along with the gift of faith? To name just a few there is: hope, sincerity, restraint, the ability to organize, poise and balance. 

With faith you will often find the third divine quality; that of self-control or self-discipline. This is the quality that gives you strength of both mind and will. It is the power that drives an individual with courage and determination; two gifts that the chelas of this Activity of Light have used often and used well during the past seven years. 

It is these first three attributes that have done much to expand and will continue to expand the greatest gift of all, that of divine love—unwavering and unconditional in its pure and perfect state! Through this special and sacred quality your devotion to The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom has grown stronger. Your affection for one another and your friendships have deepened while sharing your love as you went through your daily activities. It is this gift beloved ones that will expand greatly throughout this planet during this new and wonderful year of 2004! 

With the sacred gift of love comes the fifth virtue: generosity. As you have worked with the teachings of this Activity your hearts have opened many times   their previous size. You have each become more giving and selfless in your activities and interactions, especially in your service to others.  This gift has also done much to allow you more freedom in your thoughts and feelings. Old limiting ideas have been released or transformed and you have become more tolerant in your thoughts and acceptance of the words, deeds and actions of others. 

Number six of the Seven Divine Virtues is kindness. To be truly kind requires one to constantly connect with those around them. It is necessary to naturally be aware of the messages sent forth by the actions and body language of others. One must also listen well to what is said and often more importantly, what is not said during conversations with others. You must also recognize and seize every opportunity to be considerate, supportive and caring. To exemplify kindness whatever you do, say or communicate to others should be offered in a calm, peaceful and compassionate manner. 

Finally, the seventh of the divine virtues is humility. This is a virtue that seems to   develop miraculously as you come to master the other six. Also, one cannot decide to be humble and become so. You must be faithful. You must have self-discipline. You must be loving, generous and kind with just a pinch of enthusiasm to truly become humble beloved ones. There is no other way to develop this simple, gentle, reserved, modest way of being beloved ones! How many of these gifts and blessings do you make part of your daily activities dear chelas? How many, if any, of these divine qualities do you feel you have mastered? How often do you observe these respected values in others? 

It is these seven divine gifts and blessings especially that are so needed on your planet now beloved ones! Consciously begin to work with them on a regular basis and share them with others. Integrate them into your invocations, decrees and services. Fan these sacred flames until they cover and fill the Earth to overflowing with their blessings. Look to the heavens often for ways in which to embody and exemplify these divine virtues in your lives. This beloved of my heart is your service to life beginning with this year of 2004!
