I hadn\u2019t known I would be able to watch the Open MSIA<\/a> Seminar Live Online from San Francisco, but through loving each moment I was blessed to be able to do so.\u00a0 By calling in the Light throughout my day, blessings \u201cjust happened\u201d to pour forth in ordinary, simple ways, leaving me with my newly purchased Christmas tree all ready to be decorated just five minutes before the Seminar began.\u00a0 As I sorted through our box of decorations, I watched and listened to the Seminar through my cellphone, with headphones on, sometimes tucking my phone into my pants pocket so I could reach the top of the tree easily or jot a quick note to myself in my journal.\u00a0 It was a lovely experience of cooperation with the abundance of goodness present. What a beautiful way to enjoy the inner Christ — adorning a precious tree with lights and touchstones of Christmas past while listening and watching our Traveler share about the Christ within!<\/p>\n

Our seminar began with the lovely, gracious MC Lynn welcoming us all!\u00a0 Aaron Maxwell then called us forward into the Light<\/a>, reminding us of our gratitude to the Lord for divine protection and guidance.\u00a0 We were then blessed with three delightful, moving contributions.\u00a0 First, Laila Millar engaged us all in a sweet Czech Nativity Carol where we sang together about being \u201crocked\u201d by the Lord.\u00a0 Then, LeAnna Sharp sang a glorious adaptation of \u201cTonight\u201d from the play, West Side Story<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Phil Danza shared about how NOW Productions continues to mine through the vault of John-Roger<\/a>\u2019s 5,000-plus seminars to bring us new excerpts of wisdom and comfort.\u00a0 We then listened and watched several recently culled excerpts from J-R through the years, concluding with a few powerful moments from a Christmas seminar from over 30 years ago.\u00a0 Phil noted that J-R has brought forward 20 Christmas Eve Seminars.\u00a0 Then, John Morgan played his gentle guitar and sang an original song about moments of awareness which he called, \u201cStanding by the Open Door.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Morton<\/a> then joined us and continued with the inviting message that the Lord\u2019s door is always open. It\u2019s our choice to enter and allow the Spirit to become a greater and greater part of our lives.\u00a0\u00a0 John shared about how John-Roger<\/a> has worked cooperatively with Spirit for over 50 years to bring forward the teachings of the Traveler<\/a>, reminding us that what matters most is to love one another as the Lord loves us.\u00a0 I enjoyed hearing John share about how John chose to serve Spirit, to help John-Roger<\/a> and serve his works, and that he is always learning and choosing to do better as a Traveler<\/a> in this world.<\/p>\n

John reminded us that we are all being called into our own MSIA, meaning we are all in our own personal movements of spiritual inner awareness.\u00a0 We are all on a \u201cpath to mastership,\u201d which is also the title of a wonderful book<\/a> and seminar<\/a> by John-Roger<\/a>, because we are all on a loving path to and with God always.\u00a0 John reminded us to look at our lives and ask if we are making progress in what our soul, our true nature, came here into this world to do.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to check out our experiences in each moment so we look for the inner loving guidance of Spirit.<\/p>\n

I appreciated John\u2019s encouragement to be a lightbearer to ourselves first, by calling in the Light<\/a> as we go forward throughout each day and each moment.\u00a0 We are all lightbearers, and as we bring forward God\u2019s light within us, we then radiate that Light out into the world, serving all.\u00a0 John reminded us that God\u2019s light will correct us as well as protect us.\u00a0 It\u2019s up to us to choose wisely, to be awake and aware, and to direct our awareness as best we can spiritually.<\/p>\n

John then shared about invoking the blessings of the Christ, as the Christ is forgiveness.\u00a0 He encouraged us to first be forgiving to ourselves, as the Christ is always forgiving us within.\u00a0 Remembering that the forgiveness is already present, we can send the Light<\/a> to places and people to help bring forward greater awareness of the forgiveness present in each person and situation.\u00a0 With a twinkle in his eye, John encouraged us to be a \u201cLight Hole,\u201d meaning one who is open to allowing whatever comes to or through us to be forgiven.\u00a0 We can always exercise complete forgiveness, as Christ\u2019s forgiveness, in this moment right now because Christ walks amongst us within us always.<\/p>\n

As John closed the seminar with a greater invocation of the Christ\u2019s presence, he reminded us to listen to Christmas Carols and take in the eternal messages those sweet sounds bring forward.\u00a0 John shared how we are all kindred spirits, in the harmony of the one Spirit that unites us all.\u00a0 We can love more each day and give more than we take.\u00a0 In loving one another and each moment more and more, we can raise our awareness of the great joy present and help bring forward the blessings that already are.<\/p>\n
