I would read this sixty-fifth affirmation as: “I bow with a thankful heart and become aware that all life is achieved through communication and sympathy.”
“Communication and sympathy” above is the subject of the verb achieve, while “all life” is a topic, and it’s hard to put that together with the lack of an object. So I kind of messed around with the verb roles a little bit.
