Once I asked myself, \u201cIf I could have anything, what would it be?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJOY!\u00a0 To have joy more abundantly in everything I do — to be that manifestation of the Loving — enjoying it all, seeing the good everywhere,\u00a0 accepting myself and all as we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

One day, I walked into Conference and was greeted by an angel\u2014a magnificent, beautiful Soul.\u00a0 \u201cLet\u2019s do DSS together, that would be fun.\u201d\u00a0 I proceeded down the aisle to find a place to sit.\u00a0 At the same time, I was running negative self-talk about why I couldn\u2019t do the Doctor of Spiritual Science class.<\/p>\n

Then, magically, everything that John Morton shared was clearly directing me to take the DSS.\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing that he didn\u2019t even use the word DSS.\u00a0 Amazing how the Traveler\u2019s loving ministers.<\/p>\n

The power of the Doctor of Spiritual Science, for me, is the Loving.\u00a0 Like John-Roger said:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cLove is the guiding Light inside of you.\u00a0\u00a0 Love will take care of you.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Pure Love is the Soul.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

John-Roger (From:\u00a0 Loving Each Day)<\/p>\n

DSS classes have always provided a safe, loving space for me to be in.\u00a0 The HU-mor of the facilitator continues to assist me in expanding in Who I AM.<\/p>\n

I wrote my Practical Treatise and graduated DSS in 2019.\u00a0 My Practical Treatise title is:\u00a0 Living from the Fountain of Joy<\/em>.\u00a0 I am living my Practical Treatise.\u00a0 I have received what I asked for.<\/p>\n

Now here I am in 2021 continuing to choose back to the DSS.\u00a0 I thank God for the opportunity to stay involved in the DSS monthly classes — holding the Light for all involved world-wide.<\/p>\n

The unconditional loving that I\u2019ve experienced throughout my 7 years in DSS, surpasses anything that I could ever imagine.\u00a0 Thank you, classmates and all who make this class available.<\/p>\n

Keys for me now — in my continuing DSS journey of discovering more of Who I AM — are: singing, dancing, entertaining, humor and playing.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0\u00a0 AM\u00a0 G. L. A. D.<\/p>\n

G<\/strong>rateful for the loving and supportive family and friends in my life; especially their\u00a0openness to receive my loving and supportive expressions to them.<\/p>\n

L<\/strong>oving myself enough to do Spirit\u2019s priorities, which releases the stress of all the things that I think I need to accomplish in the day and I can be okay with it all.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>cknowledging myself for caring enough about my spiritual growth to take time to journal daily (a discipline I developed during DSS).<\/p>\n

D<\/strong>iscovering the \u2018greater\u2019 God Consciousness in me today as I am writing my observations and awarenesses (observation and awareness are key Spiritual Science tools I learned in the doctoral class).\u00a0 I\u2019m discovering what works for me and does not work for me (another practice I learned in DSS).\u00a0 My life is about openness to change, that which works<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Now I sing to you a song that came forth during DSS:<\/p>\n

Singing is the Sound of God<\/p>\n

Singing is the Loving Heart<\/p>\n

Singing is the Light of Christ<\/p>\n

This is God, singing through me.<\/p>\n

The Love that sings within each Heart<\/p>\n

The Light that glows when one sings<\/p>\n

The Sound that rings through eternity<\/p>\n

This is God, singing through me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God bless you.<\/p>\n

Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n
