Excerpts from Lanto
On behalf of the members of the Teton Retreat, I greet you, and thank you for the opportunity to present to you something to think upon; the use of the Gift of Life itself: What could you do or even we, in our Realms, without Life. Life which animates your mind, your feelings and enables you to move about. Life, coming from where? From God himself! That Life taken so much for granted and so lightly by the mass of mankind, not only human life, but animal life, bird life, the life of your floral growth and your harvest. Ah, that mankind could see the Cosmic Activities in which Divine Beings are sustaining the Life in the Nature Kingdom alone, so that man can have a beautiful Spring, a fragrant Summer, a bountiful Harvest and an Autumn filled with such beauty and color that it is an inspiration to the soul during the time when the Earth rests beneath the pristine purity of the snow.
What have you given to the Universe for the Life given to you in this one embodiment alone? Measure it out each morning when you rise, giving gratitude during this thirty-day period for Life! Measure it out as you lay the body down at night before sleep, to what good purpose have you put God's Life loaned to you, during that twelve-hour period and how much of it has been wasted and dissipated! In such a manner you shall learn a reverence for Life. The love of Life is expanding within you, and the strength of the Tetons shall sustain you to love all Life free!

Excerpts from Confucius
I bless you, my precious one of Light with all the love of a recently ordained Hierarch as I welcome you officially into our Focus, which Lord Lanto has guarded long.
When you arrive in the Ascended Masters' Realm, I hope you will not be bored because we are twenty-four hours a day about our Father's Business; we do not require either sleep or rest as you do. Yet, me-thinks, in my humble way, that an understanding of the reverence for all Life, and one-pointedness of consciousness is important, whether you are precipitating the Flame through the breath, carrying the Joy of Christmas around the world, or whether you are precipitating your thoughts directly to another individual who is in distress.
Let me again remind you that before you precipitate any God Virtue to another individual, BE SURE TO ARMOR YOURSELF STRONGLY IN ANY ONE OF THE ASCENDED MASTER'S LUMINOUS PRESENCE' and then let the Presence of that One, combined with your own Holy Christ Flame, project through you and give healing and benediction or whatever is required in God's Most Holy Name!
We enter the Spirit of Christmas, the Spirit of Joy, when mankind. Angels, elementals and their Divine Messengers join together to bless life FREE! It has been my Joy to bless each of you according to your requirement.
