What are MSIA’s guidelines for personal-use vs. public-use study materials?

PUBLIC USE
Can be purchased by anyone. All books (except for Discourses), audios, and videos designated as “public” may be shared with anyone.

PERSONAL USE
Intended to be used exclusively by the owner. There is a special relationship between the Spirit through the Mystical Traveler Consciousness and you, as owner of these materials. If you allow another person to listen to or view these materials, then you (rather than Spirit) become responsible for what the person may initiate or release as a result of viewing or listening to them. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you keep any materials designated as “Personal Use” for your own private use, and that you tell others who might be interested in them that they can obtain their own copies at www.msia.org
“Personal Use” materials may be shared with your spouse and children under 21 years old living at home, except for Soul Awareness Discourses, Soul Awareness Teachings (SAT), all Initiates’ and Ministers’ materials.

DISCOURSE USE
As an MSIA Soul Awareness Discourse subscriber, the Mystical Traveler works with you in a very personal and individual way, guiding you towards Soul awareness and releasing those things that keep you from experiencing your own divinity. The Mystical Traveler uses the Discourse as a vehicle and a focal point in working with you. If you allow someone else to read your Discourse, you, rather than the Mystical Traveler Consciousness, become responsible for what they release. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you keep your Discourses confidential, for your own personal use, and that you tell others who might be interested in them that they can get their own Discourses.

SAT SUBSCRIBERS ONLY
While anyone can subscribe to the Soul Awareness Teachings (SAT), previously released SATs can only be purchased by active subscribers to SATs. SATs are personal-use material and we strongly recommend that they not be shared with anyone else, including your immediate family. The Traveler works with SAT subscribers in the same manner as with Soul Awareness Discourse subscribers, so the same guidelines and responsibilities apply.

What Happens after I finish reading the 12th year of Discourses?

You are free to pursue the teachings of the spritiual heart  for however long you choose and for as long as they continue to work for you. However, be aware that upon finishing the last discourse (#144), you need to have an active subscription to the Soul Awareness Teachings audio series(SAT) to maintain an ongoing student relationship the Mystical Traveler Consciousness, as well as to remain an active initiate or minister and to apply for further initiations. Remaining an active student also allows you to take classes and workshops not available to the general public. 

If you allow your SAT subscription to lapse for 18 months or more, you will need to start over with Discourse #1 if you wish to continue studying in MSIA.
