It\u2019s the light, the truth and the way.\u00a0 Most importantly, it\u2019s the loving.\u00a0 If you are loving, then you are a Light Ambassador.\u00a0 It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n<p>With MSIA, this is also the Traveler Consciousness.\u00a0 This is a vehicle through which the Traveler Consciousness is working.\u00a0 It\u2019s working through your initiations into the sound current and through your choosing to become an ordained minister in MSIA.\u00a0 This is going to help.<\/p>\n<p>Each minister is called forward into the world.\u00a0 The first ministry is always going to be involving the silence and the invisible.\u00a0 Spirit is present in that and also present in loving, joy and peace.\u00a0 These are all the way.<\/p>\n<p>If you want, you can apply that in relation to MSIA, which as a business has the purpose and mission of making the teachings of the Traveler available to those who are looking for them.\u00a0 It\u2019s like leading people to a door, which they need to walk through in their own free volition.\u00a0 All of us have done that.<\/p>\n<p>There is more that we work with.\u00a0 We find ways to meet and congregate in this purpose.\u00a0 We can gather together in the consciousness of the Christ and the Traveler.\u00a0 Then the Spirit is in our midst because this is, as the scripture says, \u201cDoing it in my name.\u201d\u00a0 We are doing it in the name.<\/p>\n<p>This transcends an organization.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t know a better organization than MSIA for the Traveler\u2019s works in this world, because it leads directly to where the Traveler is doing its teaching.\u00a0 People can hear it right from the mouth.\u00a0 They can read it and study it.<\/p>\n<p>We have Peace Theological Seminary for that purpose.\u00a0 John-Roger also founded other organizations to make the teachings available.\u00a0 Heartfelt Foundation, Insight Seminars, University of Santa Monica, The Institute for Individual and World Peace and The New Day Herald are other ways we make our teachings available.\u00a0 There is a new program, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thatwhichis.org\">That Which Is<\/a>\u201d, or \u201cAquello Que Es\u201d that is a library of many of the works of John-Roger and myself that can be accessed through the MSIA website at msia.org.<\/p>\n<p>Part of what I\u2019m saying is just lead people to the source.\u00a0 Then you have done your ambassadorship.\u00a0 It\u2019s like you are an escort.\u00a0 Others are coming to a gathering and they don\u2019t know where to go.\u00a0 You attend to them so they find their way.<\/p>\n<p>The intention is that they can do it on their own.\u00a0 Even the Traveler needs to back off.\u00a0 We don\u2019t do Soul Transcendence by holding onto them and making them do it.\u00a0 They must choose back.\u00a0 We must let them have their own experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The teachings are masterful.\u00a0 Just getting into Discourse One could change their existence, not just their lifetime.\u00a0 It\u2019s very powerful.\u00a0 The Spirit does the work.\u00a0 We don\u2019t do it.\u00a0 Spirit will take care of it.\u00a0 Saying, \u201cI will make them see the truth,\u201d is not our job.\u00a0 We couldn\u2019t do it if we tried unless we are doing it for the Spirit.\u00a0 Spirit is working through us, but Spirit is doing the work.<\/p>\n<p>That is important for ambassadors to keep in mind.\u00a0 You can be a vehicle, an instrument. You can recite the prayer from Saint Francis to be an instrument of the divine.\u00a0 You are the divine.<\/p>\n<p>An ambassador is like a conveyor or conveyor belt. You bring something from here to there.\u00a0 John-Roger referred to it as a transport mechanism.\u00a0 He has also referred to the Traveler as a conductor saying, \u201cLet\u2019s see your ticket. Can we check? Okay, come on the train.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spirit does not inflict.\u00a0 When people aren\u2019t ready for the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, or even if they just don\u2019t want it, Spirit does not inflict.\u00a0 Check to make sure as an Ambassador of MSIA that you are clear.\u00a0 In our work we do lots and lots of clearing.\u00a0 When we call ourselves forward in the light, that\u2019s a clearing.\u00a0 When we do a ministerial ordination, we request the clearing.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes what that involves is the need to clear the room where we meet.\u00a0 If there is a group of you clearing the room with the Light, that is a first step.\u00a0 Start with the Light and then check, \u201cIs this clear to proceed?\u201d\u00a0 The more you get attuned to what that is, the higher you can function as an MSIA Ambassador.\u00a0 You do this Light work according to the Light.<\/p>\n<p>Notice it\u2019s not called MSIA teacher, expert or an authority on MSIA and the Traveler.\u00a0 I\u2019d be very careful attempting to do something like that.\u00a0 If you are Spirit led, okay.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been amazed and astonished at what Spirit would do through certain people and humbled by it.<\/p>\n<p>I also understand that when Spirit chooses, it\u2019s working through the will of God.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t need someone\u2019s permission.\u00a0 It may need your invitation because that is what\u2019s up.\u00a0 It\u2019s working at the level of co-creatorship.\u00a0 It always has the power.<\/p>\n<p>The more we are attuned to how the will of God is functioning, attuned to the highest good of all concerned, the more we become an Ambassador of the Light.\u00a0 It\u2019s powerful.\u00a0 If God be for you, who can be against you?\u00a0 Nothing.\u00a0 It\u2019s like Moses at the Red Sea with all the families and folks getting out of bondage.\u00a0 The Red Sea is not going to stop him. Somehow there is an attunement.<\/p>\n<p>Even if someone expresses that as some kind of natural occurrence, like that was because of an eclipse or a meteor or whatever, look at the perfect timing.\u00a0 It showed up so Moses and his people could pass. The pharaoh and his people could not pass.\u00a0 That qualifies as some kind of miracle.<\/p>\n<p>I am not here to prove anything to you. I am here to welcome you as Ambassadors of Light and to make room for other Ambassadors of Light. The work is plentiful and designed to be shared.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what Jesus did at the Last Supper.\u00a0 It is an occasion where, \u201cThis too you shall do\u2026.\u201d \u2013 now listen to the way of Spirit \u2013 \u201c\u2026. and even greater.\u201d\u00a0 You are going to take on even more than what I have taken on.\u00a0 If you go, \u201cWell, what you took on led to a crucifixion.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if I want to take that on,\u201d this is where it can take great courage and conviction.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know a greater conviction than to the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 I experience it as the presence of, \u201cGod is here and in Its power.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 It has this hard to describe quality called the fear of God.\u00a0 I translate that as it\u2019s awesome and beyond what I can comprehend.\u00a0 It can be experienced something like, \u201cI\u2019m dying in this moment.\u00a0 It\u2019s squeezing the life out of me.\u201d But it doesn\u2019t do that. It squeezes the nonsense we don\u2019t need to hold onto out of us.<\/p>\n<p>It is a conversion, and many have lived to testify to it.\u00a0 They were struck by the Light.\u00a0 Some say it was more like having their eggshell burst.\u00a0 \u201cOne day I became enlightened.\u00a0 I had a revelation, a conversion, an epiphany.\u201d\u00a0 It can do it in a flash.\u00a0 Whoosh, like that!\u00a0 It can be immediate or like a dawning of a new day, or of a new age.\u00a0 What was a caterpillar is now a butterfly.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe in some way you are more willing to be a Light Ambassador.\u00a0 Let\u2019s consider that the most important part for the Light Ambassador is the little things.\u00a0 Do the work that is required.\u00a0 Simply show up because there is an invitation for you to volunteer.<\/p>\n<p>I also see something that is in the invitation.\u00a0 Whoever is greatest among us step forward.\u00a0 That would be the Spirit.\u00a0 Whoever is carrying and expressing the Spirit in the way that is of greatest service, there it is.\u00a0 It\u2019s not necessarily according to what the world would think.\u00a0 \u201cIt came into the world and the world knew it not.\u201d\u00a0 The world rejected the Light and the Light bearers.\u00a0 Let\u2019s call those the Ambassadors of Light.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it isn\u2019t always going to be easy or comfortable.\u00a0 People aren\u2019t always going to agree with you or like you. You may say, \u201cI think there are people who don\u2019t agree with me and don\u2019t like me being in MSIA.\u201d\u00a0 That sounds like the MSIA I know.\u00a0 We are still personalities walking around with egos that want to have it this way or that way.\u00a0 We\u2019re working that stuff out.\u00a0 John-Roger called it sandpapering, working through the rough spots, smoothing out the karma.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s consider there is a blessing of all those who carry the Light of the Holy Spirit in the willingness to let go and let God.\u00a0 There is willingness, in particular, to help somebody who is looking for these teachings.\u00a0 There\u2019s the work.\u00a0 Help somebody find the teachings and offer the teachings to them.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m reminded of those that Jesus called forward to go out and do this work.\u00a0 He said for them to go out and share it openly.\u00a0 If they refuse or reject you, shake the dust off your sandals and move on.\u00a0 We are in that way.\u00a0 Sometimes we let people ask for it and then ask for it again.<\/p>\n<p>There is a way of progression.\u00a0 I\u2019d say when people get onto the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/discourses\">Discourses<\/a>, that\u2019s the way.\u00a0 That is an essential way the teachings are made available in MSIA.\u00a0 But it\u2019s also in your way of being a Light Ambassador, that you express the Light, the truth and the way. You profess the loving that is God\u2019s loving and you do it personally in the way you would do that.<\/p>\n<p>This is a blessing.\u00a0 God is blessing the way you are, who you are, as you are, calling you in the way of the light and love as a wayshower, as the anointed one.\u00a0 The one who calls out, \u201cCome follow me.\u201d\u00a0 Be ready to move. Be ready for the Traveler and the Traveler\u2019s emissaries to invite you to take responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Call people to follow you in what you are preparing and organizing.\u00a0 This work is blessed.\u00a0 All you need in support is already prepared.\u00a0 We are making it better and better.\u00a0 We\u2019d love to have your help.\u00a0 The way is prepared.\u00a0 The blessing is you are chosen.\u00a0 And the blessing is in your choosing back to do this work.<\/p>\n<p>God bless you all.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4>Blessing of Heartfelt Service<\/h4>\n<p>Father Mother God, we give thanks that You are bringing us together<\/p>\n<p>in Your work of service to all.\u00a0 We go forward into the world, wherever You take us, in Your Light, love and joy.<\/p>\n<p>You show us that there is an opportunity to uplift so that we may all know the greater fellowship of Spirit who is paradise in this world.<\/p>\n<p>We ask for whatever direction You can give us today<\/p>\n<p>so that each one of us who are gathered here<\/p>\n<p>and all those involved on any level may know what we are to do.<\/p>\n<p>We know where we are to go to serve the needs that You present to us.<\/p>\n<p>And we give thanks for this blessing unto Spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Watch a Blessing of Increasing Our Light with John Morton<\/h4>\n\t\t<!-- Start of Brightcove Player -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"display: block; position: relative; min-width: 0px; max-width: 640px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"padding-top: 56%; \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<video-js\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"6083184833001\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-video-id=\"6083184833001\" data-account=\"6057277728001\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-player=\"HWP2atHHW\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-usage=\"cms:WordPress:6.9.1:2.8.4:javascript\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-embed=\"default\" class=\"video-js\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-application-id=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcontrols   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/video-js>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/6057277728001\/HWP2atHHW_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- End of Brightcove Player -->\n\t\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is taken from a zoom talk John had with MSIA Light Ambassadors on July 31, 2020.
