Theresa Hocking at MSIA's Conference in 2014.

My Traveler story is from 1985 and a PAT IV trip with John-Roger.

We were in Italy, and my karma was very much with me, I was very emotional and very discouraged, wondering if I could ever solve the issue. In a way the issue was embarrassing, so I told absolutely no one!  Not being able to express the pain or talk about my feelings with a friend was part of the challenge.

I thought it was strange that J-R kept appearing in my path, walking in front of me, sometimes “accidentally” bumping into me in a crowd.  One afternoon in a hotel, I saw J-R looking into a huge mirror in the hallway, sort of fixing his hair.  I kept walking down the hall and laughing inside because the idea of J-R checking his hair in a hallway mirror was very much out of character.  His appearance was not a primary concern for him.  But his initiates, including me, were a primary concern.

I kept walking and inside I understood.  John-Roger was making it very clear to me that he was always with me, I was NOT alone. After that realization, I essentially never saw him again on the month long trip, unless he was giving a seminar and he was at the front of the room.  This was a large group, perhaps 135 MSIA people.  He had other physical work to do.

That was over 30 years ago and life has only gotten better.  (And I finally did get the issue resolved!)  I know John-Roger is with me, probably all the time, but I am most aware of this when I consciously connect with him.  Even though his body left the planet several years ago, there is no change, he is always with me – just as he said he would be.  I am blessed.

I love you John-Roger,

Theresa Hocking
