Spiritual Warriors Screening, London, 10-02-09
Well worth the experience to take the time to finally meet Dr. John-Roger, Jsu, Zoe plus the rest of the team. Both the film screening and workshop events were an enlightening experience especially being in the presence of John-Roger who inspires those he comes into contact with. I was moved by the truth and words spoken in the messages given. I definitely shall look forward to another chance to be in everyone’s company again, and am so glad to have had my first experience of this movie I have heard so much about.

“It” started about three days before everyone touched down on good old English ground: an energy I recognize from the very first time I connected to it, which was three years ago at the first screening of Spiritual Warriors in London, at the Prince Charles Cinema. It is full of joy, very active, has no gender; it seems to mingle through my system and my everyday experience, and it brings a never ending smile to my face. It literally fills me up — I have no big interest for food, because I am so full already.
Meeting Zoe was the first energetic explosion for me: My little big soulsister, whom I love so much! Setting up for the screening of Spiritual Warriors again, one bright face after the other came into my field, and it was such a pleasure to feel these vibrations of joy and excitement.
Seeing Jsu again, meeting him through the lens of his camera. Welcoming people that have been attracted, talking to passers-by, who are always there for a reason, embracing peoples emotions or questions, expanding and integrating this wonderful energy that was present.
Can you imagine how many blessings were present just until then? And that was only the beginning of my first evening of J-R’s time in London …

What can I say about ‘Amazing Grace’? J-R and the Spiritual Warriors returned to London this October for another film screening, workshop, book launch, and fundraising event.
The song ‘Imagine’ by the Beatles comes to Mind.
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
My prayer this time was to have the events filled with grace and ease, and as I put in the request it manifested perfectly for the highest good. The work seemed to have a different flow this time, assisted by the contacts Zoe Golightly and I had made over the last two years. Several adverts were placed to spread the news of our events in holistic magazines, newspapers, online spiritual groups, and free London web sites. Inken our flyer angel handed out flyers at spiritual events and the London College of Spirituality. Melba Alhonte flew in from New York and met a Romanian Princess who invited us to the Romanian cultural institute, where we invited everyone to the film screening, we had so much fun.
We hired our favourite cinema the Prince Charles where we had screened the movie before, its location is in the heart of the West End Cinema’s just off Leicester Square.
So now let me take you on a journey where if you prepare the place Spirit will match it.
Outside the cinema tables were laden with copies of the Spiritual Warrior books to be handed out to our guests. Our team of assistants directed by Sam Wigan chatted to people about the movie and the book. The excitement and buzz were tangible. Just over 200 people filled the cinema, with most of the crowd were there for their first viewing of Spiritual Warriors.
As the movie started the energy of Spirit filled the auditorium. I glanced over my shoulder to see John Morton in the back of the cinema anchoring the energy. Once again the fundamental purpose of MSIA was being demonstrated by ‘Making the teachings available to those who are looking for them’. The film Spiritual Warriors is a vehicle that brings people into the Light and connects them to their journey into the ‘True Self’. After the screening ended there was a Q&A session with Jsu Garcia, Leigh Taylor-Young and Rick Ojeda. The first comment was from a London independent film maker who said she enjoyed the film very much and asked Jsu how they got the film made and distributed. Another question from the audience asked “Where are the quotes in the film from?” Another asked, “Who is John-Roger?” Jsu and his team answered the questions with humor and great sincerity.
After the Q&A many people stayed behind to talk to Jsu and other cast members who freely gave of their time, while others handed out information for the next event ‘Serving and Giving by Living the Way of the Spiritual Warrior’: Workshop, booksigning and DVD launch. We left the cinema feeling uplifted; the grace of the Traveler’s energy being extended to us.

‘Serving & Giving by Living the Way of The Spiritual Warrior’: Workshop, Booksigning & DVD Launch with Drs. John-Roger, Jsu Garcia and Paul Kaye, 10-04-09
I attended the workshop at The Hempel with my baby Liron. As soon as I entered the room, I felt a warm and accepting atmosphere. No matter the question asked to J-R, the response was like a direct and understanding sword to the heart. I was also very touched by the care that J-R and John Morton took with my very vocal baby!

The most surprising thing about the events in London was that it was so much fun. There was a feeling of joy and lightness which pervaded both presentations. Everyone showed a deep commitment to their work combined with seemingly little attachment to the outcome, a kind of
