John Morton Closed Seminar in Pacifica, CA

Article imageTwo hundred Soul Awareness Discourse subscribers packed a room in the Lighthouse Hotel in Pacifica, California to hear John Morton speak on December 9, 2000.
Northern California enjoyed demonstrating the devotion of their MSIA community. MSIA Rep. Chuck Millar kicked off the seminar and Margorie Lambert called in the Light. Taras Lumiere played a new beautiful song he had just written called, “Deepest Dream”. We watched a video promoting a John-Roger videotaped seminar from 1972 called “Sealed Books of Consciousness”. We also saw a promo for a new audio tape release of a John-Roger seminar called “What is the Value of a Mystical Traveler?” and a new CD and cassette of John Morton’s titled “Inner Master Meditation.” An incredible Moment of Peace from Suzhou, China followed, reminding many of us of the beauty of our trip this summer throughout China with John-Roger and John Morton. We also watched a peaceful IIWP video of the beauty of Windermere Ranch in Santa Barbara.

Then it was time for John Morton to speak! John looked splendid in a holiday tie, and his daughter Claire entertained us with her new magical pen that blew bubbles. The first thing I heard John say was that it was time to move beyond anything that is bothering us. Some things appear as challenges before we realize the great blessings there for us. In a beautiful seminar, John talked about staying in a generosity of Spirit even when the world was in a take-take-take mode. He illustrated this by using the example of “buddy breathing” when scuba diving, that you try to save someone even if it is at personal peril.

John also shared some thoughts on the presidential election, which was still undecided at the time of the seminar. What I heard John say was that the election was such a rare situation – that the negative power was telling us that we weren’t good enough to make a difference, and that we need to take responsibility at the smallest level, because it does effect all of us. When we hide and deny ourselves in the smallest way, we deny all of us and this hurts the planet. I also heard John indicate that it would be useful to surround the president with goodness and expect only good and do not choose to become a naysayer.

Teri Tieman, a Chicago minister, said, “I loved hearing a spiritual interpretation of the election! It allows me to give up my exasperation for a higher perspective where all of us make a difference!.”
John ended by saying that Spirit is the one that is your friend that celebrates you and adores you. He said it with such authority in his voice that it was very moving.
Katie Breen Larsson, a new Discourse subscriber from Reno, Nevada, was excited to see John for the first time live. “I’ve enjoyed the John Morton videos but seeing him in person brought tears to my eyes. My cup runneth over from being in the same room when John is giving a seminar.”

The two hundred people who attended stayed and stayed to share and enjoy each other. Anne Soeller, who has been in the Movement since 1968 said: “The people of MSIA are my family and being here is like attending a family reunion. I am more and more aware of the one true family of Christ and the support of the Travelers, my love grows as the family grows.”
