Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00882)

"According to our theosophical tenets, every man or woman is endowed, more or less, with a magnetic potentiality, which when helped by a sincere and especially by an intense and indomitable will—is the most effective of magic levers placed by Nature in human hands—for woe as for weal. Let us then, Theosophists, use that will to send a sincere greeting and wish of good luck for the New Year to every living creature under the sun—enemies and relentless traducers included. Let us try and feel especially kindly and forgiving to our foes and persecutors, honest or dishonest, lest some of us should send unconsciously an 'evil eye' greeting instead of a blessing." 
H. P. Blavatsky
Before our next issue is out, not only Christendom but the entire world will have made merry over Christmas, which but symbolizes the ancient Festival of the Winter Solstice—a fact forgotten by most people; and then the New Year will be ushered in.
The spirit of fraternity which prevails during this season makes people wish each other prosperity and happiness. Such wishes are more often than not mere formalities, being backed up neither by the power of thought nor by the energy of will, and do not generally come true. As nothing in life is secured without working for it, happiness and prosperity will not drop from the heavens at our mere wish, sincere though it be.
