\n

In 1973-4 while living in Florida, I was diagnosed with last stages of uterine cancer with a 25% chance of survival. I was a single mother with two children under 10 years of age. My quest at that time was looking for a teacher that could take me home to God. I was preparing myself to die. <\/p>\n

I was on the Board of the Lung Association and had access to their community room. Dick Hassling was a Seminar Leader for MSIA at that time. He asked me if he could use the room for an additional seminar he wanted to do in Broward County. I agreed to let him use the room. <\/p>\n

John-Roger was scheduled to do a Seminar in Miami soon after that and Dick sent me a ticket to attend the event. My first meeting with J-R in his white suit and full beard was loving. I commented to him that I received his loving heart. He commented “You got IT.” <\/p>\n

Shortly after that, Dick invited me to his home Seminar. His comment was “I know you are very ill, but our meetings are loving and I think you might benefit.” When I entered his home, there was a large framed picture of J-R on the entrance wall. When I looked at it, it turned into a fountain of Light. That caught my attention! <\/p>\n

When the seminar started, I lay down on the floor and went out somewhere. During the seminar J-R told a joke, I came to, sat up and laughed. At that moment I knew he could be my Wayshower home to God. I could ride on his humor. Dick told me about Discourses. They were $40.00. I said “sign me up.\u201d He told me about aura balances. They were $40.00. I said “sign me up.” He told me about Light Studies. They were $40.00. I said “sign me up.\u201d Next time J-R was in town, I was ready to go.<\/p>\n

I was the last person to receive a Light Study. During the meeting with J-R, I woke up. I suddenly came out of a deep sleep. He told me I had a disease that needed to be addressed. My next stop was an aura balance. During the aura balance the disease left and went into remission. I never had chemo, radiation, surgery. I was again given the gift of life. Once when I was born, and once when I woke up and committed to myself and my journey home to God. This Traveler was my guy!!<\/p>\n

I left Florida, traveled 3 1\/2 months across the country to Los Angeles with a strong desire to be on staff and give back and be closer to John-Roger. I was not yet aware to go inside to be close to J-R.<\/p>\n

I lived in the apartments next door to Prana and volunteered at MSIA focusing on the bookkeeping of the first Building Fund. I volunteered at PTS filing and reading PTS Class homework, and I volunteered as an assistant in the blossoming Insight Seminars. I wrote a note to J-R about being on staff wherever I was needed. At that time he did Seminars at Prana. He put my note in his pocket which meant I was on hold.<\/p>\n

Personally, I went to J-R\u2019s home in Mandeville Canyon every Saturday, brought Azaleas and planted them. I worked on his grounds along with the guys. One Saturday, his van pulled up and the guys jumped out along with him and threw a bag of fish at my feet. Edgar said “See that one, I caught it.\u201d J-R said, \u201cSee that mackerel Angela, I caught that one. It’s a Holy Mackerel.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the rains came, Mandeville Canyon was a torrential river and J-R’s house was in danger of being severely flooded. A mountain of mud came down into his back yard and into his pool. A group of us left a workshop to go to his house, sandbag and dig out the mud. J-R was right next to me digging out the mud looking for the sewer drain.<\/p>\n

At a Ministers Meeting, he came up to me and asked if I wanted to be the Administrator of PTS. I was a little taken back and he asked if I thought I could do it. I enthusiastically said \u201cyes.\u201d He informed me that if I had to ask him what to do or contact him on every little thing, he did not need me. He said to do what I was guided to do, and only if I was unsure or had a doubt, to clear it with him. What a great boss! During the time I spent at Prana, the PAT Trainings came in and it was mine to do the physical work to see them alive and well through PTS.<\/p>\n

I have done so many events over the years and every time I would see J-R the most he always said to me was: “Take care of yourself.”<\/p>\n

I have grown old in MSIA, however, I have grown wiser, more balanced, sweeter, more Light filled, have more abilities, and have a blessed life. I am now 89, have taken the Doctor of Spiritual Science (DSS) online and graduated. I have moved into the world of technology.<\/p>\n

At one time I needed J-R on the outer and needed to be near him. However as I moved more into the Traveler’s teachings, I found him on the inner and he became my Lover and my Beloved.<\/p>\n

When J-R passed the keys to John, I became aware that J-R might be preparing to leave the planet. That thought was devastating. I wrote to him asking him to take me with him. I received a letter from him saying he would if it was clear in Spirit. Obviously it was not, as I am still here on the planet. I was and am in full support of John as he stepped forward. I love the way in which John always shows up in so many ways. He does the Traveler the way he does the Traveler and J-R is a hard act to follow. I love John and am grateful he is here to serve.<\/p>\n

I seeded for J-R while he was still on the planet and he wrote to me thanking me for the seed. He said he got the love that went with it and I was in his heart and may we go together to the Heart of God. I know he has prepared a place for me with him. I have not grieved in his passing. I am still with him and as I approach my 90th year in 2021, I am getting closer. In reflection, my life is blessed as I consciously live more of the Teachings. Most of all, I am living more of my essential nature of loving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
