87. Walking in the Spirit There are two premises I go on: God loves all its creation, and out of God came all things. Knowing that, ultimately everything's going to be good. But since we don't really live in ultimates all the time, then we have to look at it in segments.

And when you’re a guy that needs a lot of confessions and has gotten a traffic ticket or two, well, people that wear robes can make you nervous. But today was different. The people that wore robes at the Peace Theological Seminary & College of Philosophy (PTS) graduation are nice people from far away places that attended years of school on weekends. What they did during the week I have no idea, but they manifested for themselves an opportunity to attend what I think is the best school on the planet.

120. The Game of Serving One game that people may not see clearly is the game of serving others. If you are in a situation where you can be of service, but you start feeling as though you are in a “prison” of some kind, you may be moving your consciousness into the negative aspect of selfishness. Then you move into negative perception and perceive all things in a down consciousness. So, what was your opportunity to serve has become your burden to carry.

121. Let’s Dance As we look at being of service, let’s also look at the idea of contraction, which some call “taking,” versus the idea of expansion, which some call “giving.” There are certain things that involve both expanding and contracting, such as breathing and heart beats. Those two things are pretty essential, but sometimes we put a negative interpretation on the idea of contracting/taking, instead of seeing that it's a natural part of life to contract.

176. Creating & Using Your Money Magnet Have you ever wondered why misers have money? They hang on to it. We have a classic image of the miser as a little old man huddled up, holding his money close, counting his coins on the table, one after another, and checking them off on paper. A greedy person, all pinched in. I’m sure this image doesn’t fit many of the people who have a tremendous amount of money, but we can still ask, “Why do some people pull money to themselves while others don’t?”

206. The Unconscious I want to talk about the unconscious, and first I’ll start with a quick overview of the levels. You are, right now, on the physical level, the level of your physical body. The invisible levels above the physical are the astral (where we use our imaginations) and then the causal (relating to the emotions), the mental (the level I’m addressing in this article), and the etheric. The etheric is the great unconsciousness, and there’s also an unconscious inside of each person. In a sense of the word, they seem to function together. And the level above the etheric is the Soul.

207. Your “Enemy”: God’s Glory Brought into Your Midst Well, isn’t that like Soul travel? “Darn, I’m back here again.” Bodies are like that. Worlds are like that. And whoever was taking account of the creation said that there are “worlds without end.”
Spirit transcends that and relates to all things in an equitable way. It’s all beautiful. It’s all full of grace. Sometimes that matches up in the physical, and you get a nice reflection of it in the world. Our encouragement to you is that when you have those enchanted, beautiful, glorious, transcending moments, go with them. Enjoy them for all they’re worth.

219. Me, My Art and My Mentors A little under 10 years ago, on a warm Summer’s day in London, I knocked on the door of David Wynne, today’s greatest living sculptor and the man who would become my beloved friend, hero and mentor. This handsome, raffish, hugely successful sculptor, 50 years my senior, opened the door with the gentle delight and warm heartedness that I have come to know so well, and at once invited me to come in and look round his studio. An hour later, overwhelmed, I felt that I needn’t become a sculptor as David had made it all already. “Sam,” David said in that deep, serious tone that I have also come to know well, “there is nothing new under the Sun… but The Truth must be stated by each generation”.

321. Noche Buena del 2007, una reunión de la familia del MSIA No se cómo lo hacen. Quiero decir, los Viajeros. En mi caso, una vez más han convertido una reunión del MSIA en un seminario transformacional. Cuando llegué a Santa Monica, para la celebración de la Noche Buena, me sentía bastante mal humorado. Mi actitud podría resumirse en el antiguo dicho: “No le gusto a nadie, todos me odian, me imagino que voy a comer gusanos.” Sin embargo, al cierre del seminario, mis relaciones con el mundo eran inmejorables y me había contagiado con el Espíritu de la Navidad.

333. Giving and Forgiving It’s important to consider how the spirit of God touches us and makes itself known. There is a first step, and that is to be open, to reach out in our purity and innocence, to ask and to remember that God is listening and watching. The answer is in our midst, and if we’re denying or avoiding it, perhaps we’re allowed to play the fool for a while. Thank God we’re not allowed to be foolish forever. At some point something comes along even to the hardest of hearts, to the one who is most lost, most forsaken, and it still has mercy, it still has grace. It’s important that we remember that in our dealings with one another.

And then I thought that nowadays there often is no “Christ Mass” in Christmas. Christmas has become a financial organization that your children use against you to plan the rest of your year together.

451. Animals, Dying and Spiritual Exercises When we deal in the karmic field on the planet here, there are three ways we do it: we create it or we promote it or we allow it. Sometimes the allowing is not doing things and saying, “Well, I didn’t know,” or “How was I to know?” Yet deep down inside of us, we get the strange feeling like we could have known. This is not necessarily we should have (that comes under another way of doing it), but it’s “I could have done that, had I listened inside, had I really paid attention.”

458. Una Canción de Navidad al estilo del MSIA - El Seminario de Víspera de Navidad con John Morton Es difícil describir lo que fue la celebración de la víspera de Navidad en el MSIA. No fue una Misa con su bello y sagrado ritual, ni tampoco un tradicional sermón sobre la natividad. La Nochebuena en el MSIA con el Viajero es una forma nueva de sentir la santidad antigua. Aprendimos en aquella noche bendita que los nuevos sacramentos pueden basarse en temas queridos y cultivados por todos nosotros: los villancicos de Navidad.

463. A Christmas Carol MSIA Style – MSIA's Christmas Eve Seminar with John Morton It is hard to describe an MSIA Christmas Eve celebration. It is not a Mass with its sacred and beautiful ritual or a traditional nativity based sermon. An MSIA Christmas Eve with the Traveler is a new take on ancient sacredness. As we learned on that hallowed night the new sacredness can be based on cherished themes – Christmas Carols.

464. A Personal New Year's Eve at Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens It was a little misty after sunset in downtown Los Angeles on New Year's Eve 2006, but that just gave a silky glow to the handsome gardens and marble stairway at Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens (PAL&G). As an architectural icon, the building is Italianate Beaux Arts in style. However, turned out in her holiday finery, she displays the true elegance of her bones. Exterior details were heightened with a zillion twinkle lights, and the interior was dressed in evening splendor, with lush winter greenery intertwined along the circular stair railing, and a huge decorated Christmas tree in the center of the Grand Salon.

467. La Diferencia Entre la Siembra y el Diezmo Les voy a sugerir una antigua idea que sirve para obtener abundancia a nivel personal. Lo podríamos llamar lanzar la cimiente, practicar una fe activa o sembrar. Déjenme decirles cómo funciona, especialmente en comparación con el diezmo. De cierta manera, pagar el diezmo es preguntar: “¿Cuál es el comportamiento apropiado a los ojos de Dios?” Es decir en esencia: "Muchas gracias Dios mío, por lo que he recibido. Y de lo que he recibido, quiero devolverte el 10 por ciento". Es una acción posterior a los hechos: después de que lo obtengo, pago el diezmo. Una manera muy sencilla de definir el diezmo, sin tocar el tema financiero, es que estás diciendo: "Estoy muy agradecido por lo que ya he recibido".

468. Sintonizándote con el Cristo Interno "Una manera de darnos cuenta si estamos siguiendo la línea del Cristo, es la forma en que efectivamente nos amemos los unos a los otros. En el Movimiento del Sendero Interno del Alma enseñamos que eso comienza con uno mismo, amándose a uno mismo de verdad, honrándose y respetándose; cuando esto ocurre, se produce una sobreproducción. El cuidado va mucho más allá de lo que necesitas para ti y por lo tanto se extiende con naturalidad hacia los demás." - John Morton (de: ¿Estás celebrando la Navidad?).
La clase por Internet de “El Cristo Interno” comenzó con nuestro ameno anfitrión Nick Segal, haciendo una introducción sobre el Movimiento del Sendero Interno del Alma (MSIA) y del Seminario Teológico y Escuela de Filosofía Paz(PTS), organizaciones ecuménicas fundadas por John-Roger, para ayudar a conocernos como Almas y como una Unidad con Dios.

470. The Staff Parties On – Holiday Celebration at Prana, 2006 Every year at Christmastime, the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA) throws a party for MSIA staff and the staffs of related organizations. Traditionally it is held at Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens, MSIA headquarters and an historic mansion that has been restored to and exceeds its original beauty and magnificence. To my observation, the party embodies the excellence and elegance of the work these people do and reflects back to them the loving that is at the heart of the Traveler’s teachings.

473. The Difference Between Seeding and Tithing I am going to suggest an ancient idea to you that is for personal abundance. We could call it casting, "faith-ing," or seeding. Let me tell you how it works, especially in contrast to tithing. In a way, tithing is asking, "What is the appropriate behavior in the eyes of the Lord?" It is saying, in essence, "God, thank you for what I have received. And from what I've received, I want to give 10 percent back to you." That's like an aftereffect: After I get it, I tithe. So, a very simple way of defining tithing, without going into the financial aspects of it, is that you're saying, "I am thankful for what I have already received."

The Soul is an individualized form of God, entirely of the spiritual dimension, and it can also take a psychic-material form, whereby Spirit takes on a physical body.

Temprano por la mañana, Janet y Lawrence Caminite, quienes organizaron esta Celebración de las Bendiciones el año pasado y de nuevo este año, guiaron con entusiasmo al equipo en el arreglo de las mesas, sillas, platos, cubiertos y cristalería, los cuales fueron colocados con elegancia y sobriamente en el vestíbulo y en los salones del seminario.

Y se abrieron camino a través de las inmensas puertas de madera del Sheraton Universal y se sentaron bajo las lámparas de araña más grandes al oeste de Prana para participar en la experiencia del amor viviente. Fue potente. La prueba está en el hecho de que a nadie se vio contando cuántos cristales había en esos candelabros.

MSIA Webcasts: Tuning in with True Friends As I began to write this article about the joy of MSIA Webcasts, two dear friends of mine joined me which is exactly what they do whenever I tune into a Webcast from home. If I’m watching from my desk, Parker and Lucky are curled up at my feet. If I’m snuggled under the covers all tucked in for the late show, my furry friends are cuddled up right next to me. When I tune in to a Webcast along with my friends, furry or far away, it’s a wonderful reminder that I am never alone and we are here to love and enjoy one another.

This one asked me to trust God and open to God more fully, knowing that God is already my partner. Right from the start I heard myself praying I would open up even if it would be just a little more fully. My mind kept wanting me to think of things, to worry, and to fall back on my perennial concern, that "not one Soul will be lost," as John-Roger teaches, except me of course.

The mechanism would be the body and things of the body, even things that we refer to as the mind. The mind is subject to the ability of nerve endings, cells, the blood oxygen barrier and transference, and so on. So the functionality of you in the body temple is the mechanism.

Llamando a Casa: Ejercicios Espirituales con los Viajeros Mientras el hermoso Salón Brentwood se llenaba de participantes, en Santa Monica, para nuestra primera transmisión via Internet del 2006, me cepillé los dientes, me calcé mis pantuflas, y acomodé los almohadones en mi casa, para así tener perfectamente preparado ese lugar. Con mi computador portátil en mi regazo, bajé las luces, me puse mis audífonos, e hize click a la página www.msia.org/live. Le di click a “¡ver y escuchar ahora!” y me inscribí. Como tenía unos minutos antes de comenzar, abrí una página de Word en blanco y la minimicé. Siendo un experimentado participante via Internet, yo sabía como tener mi cuaderno listo, a solo un click de mi mouse.

593. Calling Home: Spiritual Exercises with the Travelers As the lovely Brentwood Room filled with participants in Santa Monica for our first MSIA Webcast of 2006, I brushed my teeth, slipped into my jammies, and fluffed my pillows at home so I could get that perfect place prepared. With my laptop on my lap, I turned down the lights, plugged in my earphones and clicked to the www.msia.org/live page. I clicked on “Watch and Listen Now!” and signed on. Since it was a few minutes before showtime, I opened a blank Word document and minimized it. Being an experienced Webclass participant, I know how to have my journal ready at the instant click of my mouse.

606. The Soft Breeze One day I walked out the back doors of my church that sat nestled in the rolling hills of the Great Plains. I ambled up the trail that led to the top of the hill above the church. A soft breeze caressed the land. The azure sky was filled with wispy clouds. It was a warm afternoon and the hills were alive with miles of wheat rustling gently. I couldn't help but smile. The breeze wasn't new to me but as I stood there on this day there was something different.

It’s very hard to tell you about the line of masters that MSIA functions through, because we get to a point where we can no longer tell you. They must remain unnamed. But the Silent Ones carry on all work of all universes. They can come in any form at any time—as a rock, or a leaf, or a frog, or anything they desire in order to do the work that is set up by the Sugmad.

660. KATRINA’S SHADOW -- A Story from MSIA Minister Christina Johnson in Natchez Mississippi Today, Wednesday, Aug. 31, I have settled into a café in Natchez, Mississippi, my current home, to write this letter. Our own beautiful and rustic plantation home has no real electricity at present, therefore no air conditioning, and the heat is intolerable. We do have a generator, bought a few months ago, and we are so grateful to hear it humming away; working the lights, and a couple of fans, to be able to live in relative comfort during the devastating aftermath of hurricane Katrina. And Katrina didn’t even hit HERE. This is just a fragment of the gigantic ragged shadow that trails behind her.

688. Soul Dancing – Using Movement to Expand Our Attunement to Spirit Years ago, on a the last PAT IV, I asked John-Roger how I could more consciously Soul Travel. He told me to "Do sit-ups and chant your sacred tone." Well I did that for years and it opened up a new world for me. What I found is that doing the physical movement while focusing inwardly in spiritual exercises eventually translated to my becoming more aware of the Spirit while I moved through my life. I began to be aware of how I could use movement to expand my attunement to Spirit and then move out of that attunement.

700. Negotiating Your Karma Karma is absolutely negotiable. How is that? By working it out. So, you’re here to work out karma (in fact, we’re all here to work out karma), and you’re negotiating your karma all the time in how you respond. Is there a way to keep what you’ve created or have it come into a form that’s of a lesser responsibility? If you have created karma you don’t need, that’s called doing unnecessary things. You didn’t need to do that; that doesn’t really add to you. You had that experience already, so what is it doing? It’s just reinforcing what you need to learn. So there’s an advantage there.

That was the case with the Easter weekend workshop “Invitation to the Christ Within.” It only lasted a day but I literally felt younger going out than coming in.

803. Surrendering with Confidence Surrender is a process of surmounting. The first part of the word surrender is sur, which means above or superior. It’s an overcoming, a moving above. The second part of the word is render, which has to do with release and giving up or giving away what is due or owed. We see it used in the Bible when Jesus said, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s” (Matthew 22:21).

828. Turning the Tide Toward Peace One of the things that we do as a group is to bring the consciousness of peace. First, we bring peace in ourselves. We make an effort to find the peace that’s present inside, regardless of where we are and what the circumstances are. We can always be aware of that peace and do our best to express the peace that’s present—to see it in any situation, to see it in others, to look for ways to allow peace to have dominion, to let peace reign in what we’re doing and experiencing together.

829. How Are You Serving? When people say, “I want to be of service,” they have a lot of ideas about what that represents. But I look at the word service itself, not at my idea about the word, to find out what it’s conveying to me, because often the meaning is within the frequency of the word. And I’ve found that when we are being of service, that means we are freely doing without any other thought in mind. When you serve this way, all of your things are put away in terms of what you want, and you do in terms of what’s there to be done, without anything coming back to you at all. It’s not, “I’ll be of service so I can gain.” You just do, to do, to do, to do, to do. And that’s it.

864. Awakening to the Soul The Traveler knows how to do what it does perfectly because it’s been given that authority by God. So it’s really the authority of God, the ability of God, the knowledge of God that functions through the Traveler. That’s a big thing, and it is in everyone.

865. Personal Integrity The other day when I was flying on an airplane, I was on my way to the restroom, and a gentleman asked me, “What do you do?”
I said, “Right now, I do the toilet,” and he started laughing. When I came out, he was watching for me and he said, “What are you doing now that you’re out of the toilet?”
I said, “Going to my seat.”
He said, “You know what I’m asking,” and I said, “Yes, I do know what you’re asking.” He wanted to know what I’m doing, what kind of work I do, and if there was anything he could learn from it.

And yet we kept bumping into each other (and John Morton) around Rome and Palermo, on the island of Sicily. The fellowship with the Traveler is the same everywhere.

899. Suffering Most of us at one time or another ask why there is so much suffering in the world and, even closer to home, why we ourselves suffer. Suffering is the result of attachment. Attachment is the result of desire. Desire is the result of not feeling whole and complete. Not feeling whole and complete is the result of not being in contact with God. So, suffering is obliterated by finding God, and that is what I teach.

921. Transforming Anger: A key to being part of the solution rather than part of the problem In today's world, high stress levels and violence are a big part of today's conversation. Everywhere we look, it seems there's another story about stress on the job, road rage, global warfare, or economic concerns. Yet these are not what most people really want in their lives or world. I often talk with friends and family about how to approach life with peace and calm. When life seems out of control, we need to identify ways to take care of ourselves and support ourselves. When we are supporting ourselves, we can become part of the solution in any situation we face rather than exploding into anger and being part of the problem.

Midwest Minister's Retreat Deemed a Treat I'd resisted attending previous Minister's Retreats, as I heard you spend the weekend working with your ministerial blessing and finding your ministry within it. Well, I couldn't imagine a weekend of processes involving my ministerial blessing: it was lame. I'd been ordained eight years prior and to say I had never connected with my blessing would be a big understatement. However, I didn't find this a problem until my husband was ordained and received an amazing blessing. Some couples have strife over finances and work loads, but my marital strife was over his-blessing-is-better-than-my-blessing. Time for a fix.

The precepts of Waraku are: not to hurt others, not to be hurt by others; good for self, good for others.

There is what we call the Supreme God, or the Sarmad, although the name of God is actually unspeakable. In the center is what we could call the It of Itself. (This still says nothing, but we have to use words for communication on this level, even though what I am saying is a “lie” because these spiritual things can’t really be put into words.) This It of Itself is what we're going towards, and there are many pathways into God.

997. An Australian Tale of the Conference of Coming Home Way back in February, four of us decided we were going to MSIA's Conference of Coming Home in LA. Adelene, Lodi, Roslyn and I made the choice to put our bodies where our hearts are, even though some of us didn’t quite know how we were going to do it. We are all four of us interested in the expansion of MSIA in Australia, and we wanted to use this time to grow closer together, get to know us better, and to consolidate some ideas.
So we kept in touch and encouraged each other, and received lots of encouragement from LA. And lo and behold, on the 2nd of July we were grinning at each other in the Sheraton Universal Hotel where Conference took place. We were full of joy and excitement, and met up with other Australians who had chosen to be present.

1000. Heartfelt Reps Meeting at the Conference of Coming Home Over twice as many Heartfelt and Heartreach Representatives showed up this year as last year for our wonderful Conference breakfast meeting totaling 45 attendees. Patti Rayner started off the morning by reading the inspiring blessing given by John Morton at last year’s meeting. She shared with us how serving through Heartfelt is not about the size of the project or the number of people that show up to serve. Heartfelt is about bringing the compassionately loving Heartfelt energy into any situation that needs it. We then watched a touching video of Heartfelt service in action. Before we heard from Reps around the world, we each received an audiotape of John Morton’s sharing at last year’s meeting along with a handbook for Heartreach Coordinators and a guidebook for holding Heartfelt service events in our communities.

1008. The Family Retreat at Lake Arrowhead--A Coming Home June 28-30, 2002"It's like coming to a party without balloons," that is how first time participant James Henkels (five years old) described his first day and a half at this years Family Retreat at MSIA's wonderful property in the woods surrounding Lake Arrowhead. He did not know of the upcoming festivities that were planned for the following Sunday! Yet, in those few heartfelt words, James summed up the joy and lightness that permeated this year's Family Retreat. It was definitely a party, and a respite from the hectic pace that can sometimes manifest in day to day life. Even more, the Family Retreat was a celebration of Spirit and of coming together in loving care and support for one another that touched all who were present.

1011. "The Traveler is coming to Chihuahua!" John Morton visits Chihuahua Mexico for a Blessings Workshop"The Traveler is coming to Chihuahua!" Apparently that is what a local radio station in Chihuahua, Mexico was announcing in Spanish every five minutes on Thursday, June 6th, 2002 in preparation for John Morton's visit. The MSIA community in Chihuahua also ran ads in the local newspaper -- about the board member of a peace institute talking about blessings (which would be John Morton, of course). And MSIA's own self-proclaimed "French debonair", Vincent Dupont, gave a television interview that morning in front of live cameras on the equivalent of "Good Morning Chihuahua". Vincent reminded the host that peace is always an option and invited listeners to John Morton's workshop.
