Description
In the beginning, people are mostly interested in studying just the principles that are in their own garment patterns, but eventually to fully understand the work, it becomes necessary to study them all.
The principles build on each other, support each other, extend each other.
For example, Gratitude and Service lock arms to create a bridge between the Containing Principles (the trunk of the tree) and the Descending Principles (the branches and leaves.) Service makes one aware of the profound interconnection of all human on the Soul level. Gratitude expands that consciousness to help us understand the great realm of consciousness in all beings.
Through Gratitude we remember that every blade of grass has sentience, every stone has sentience, every creature has sentience. The energy of Gratitude is not “thankfulness for something” but instead an awareness that every shred of life on this planet is a miracle, and therefore worthy of our admiration, our appreciation, our acknowledgment.
With Gratitude in your garment pattern, you will consistently be influenced to honor every form of life, organic and inorganic. This sacred sense perfumes your life with a divine beauty that walks with you as a profound blessing.

GRATITUDE is my Sun principle and LOVE is my Midheaven Principle… and when I sat down to explore Gratitude this is what came to me:
DANCE OF GRATITUDE
GRATITUDE Is the VERB, the doing principle of LOVE
Gratitude is like honoring – bestowing a gift that only you can give from you – to show appreciation – and your love of the divine in others.
Offering Gratitude from the heart is like wrapping a warm loving blanket around someone or something.
Offering Gratitude is exhibiting unique integrity of coherence with your soul / spirit / source essence.
I believe that once we recognize that all events & circumstances in life are worthy of our heartfelt Gratitude – Life CHANGES .
IT changes for the better because we then consciously live a synergistic, coherent, acceptance of all of life. Our BELIEFS change when we exhibit Gratitude ….“All is truly meant to be”…. All is part of the divine plan. We get that, and we are in accordance with our divine blueprint – here to experience All of everything = no judgment right / wrong, good / bad
By Not limiting the offering of Gratitude we expand our version of ONENESS.
I am wondering what would change in me if I offered sincere Gratitude to :
– Isis & Al Qaeda
– the Japanese whaling boats
– the so called “violators” in the prisons
– for having being programmed with the “less than”, subservient , dumbing down beliefs which have kept me and humanity capped.
What if I actually took the next step from just understanding, to offering Gratitude to mother earth (mother Gaia) for her destructive, abet balancing, volcanoes, tsunami’s, earthquakes, floods, droughts etc.
What if I extended my present belief of ‘acceptance’ and offered my parents Gratitude for doing their best as unconscious as they were regarding their inability to “see me”.
I wonder if I could offer Gratitude for all that I see as bad, sad, corrupt, offensive, cruel and evil…. instead of just being neutral about it and if I could see it as part of a divine plan…
I wonder if I could see (believe) that, as a master from the source of LOVE that I am ……..
E v e r y human has been given the highest position that could be offered to a divine master,. – to be part of the most immense project ever undertaken by those of divine loving essence, – to come to planet earth and willingly live in entrenched massive dross / contrast, for the divine purpose of assisting in the most important movement ever undertaken in all of the universe. To be part of the special, high ranking task force selected to be here to assist Mother Gaia and all of her elements to return back to the state of consciousness = Love
Perhaps if I am able to recognize, believe and offer Gratitude FOR ALL THAT I AM AND THAT IS (despite my mental interpretation / judgment) I am able to offer my maximum potential to the momentum of the present, unprecedented cosmic shift for humanity and All of the beings / galaxies all the way back to source.

Gratitude is my midheaven principle. The state of gratitude is like an on/off switch for me, if I’m in appreciation and awe life’s current, information, ideas, and joy flows. If it happens that I’m on the slippery slope of feeling sorry for myself or having a opinion against what just is, the world stops! Friends are too busy to answer calls, good deeds yield nothing, things just deaden. Gratitude as a thread in my garment feels obvious, I absolutely recognise it, but understanding its place in my weave helps me to be a little more mature when I’m not aligned and allow myself the peace to course correct without an internal battle.
Gratitude explains a lot, I have all my life been baffled when people don’t see/feel the magic of simple things, when I was 19 I was eating out the inside of a kiwi fruit and noticed and loved how the light sparkled through it like a crystal cave when it was hollow, I showed my then boyfriend, he shrugged…..that relationship didn’t last much longer. Yes thats a silly example, but things just are amazing and it’s almost intolerably boring to be around people who don’t feel it.
I bought my son (3yrs) a cupcake recently, I set it in front of him, it was a particularly cute one.
I said ‘what do you say?’ (Expecting a ‘thank you’)
‘Perfect!’ He answered.
That made me so happy, I totally get it, I appreciate the efforts people make, the gifts people give, but I also just appreciate because whatever it is they give is in itself wonder filled, no other responce makes sense to my being. I feel disorganised inside without gratitude.
Don’t misunderstand, I’m not always grateful, I’ve thrown a lot of internal tantrums, but now I unsterand why it’s so dramatic to not be in gratitude, I literally become cut off from my source if I’m not. Worst of all I have imagined I’m cut off for all sorts reasons that are not true, that’s painful, that’s why I find it’s very helpful to have a look at my threads.
Maybe I have more to say…but that’s what I’ve got today.
I deeply appreciate this work.
With love
