Berti Klein at an MSIA costume party event in May, 1991.<\/em><\/p>\n

Berti Klein received the Minister of the Year award at the Minister\u2019s Meeting during MSIA\u2019s \u00a0Conference of the Heart of Soul Transcendence, June 27, 2021.\u00a0 At our request, Berti graciously wrote about her ministry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh wow!\u00a0 I was asked to write something about my Ministry for our wonderful New Day Herald!\u00a0 I have dozens and dozens of fun Ministry stories!\u00a0 I\u2019ll share here a few random thoughts and stories about my Ministry that came to me as I cogitated on what to write.<\/p>\n

* First, I\u2019d like to share a revelatory experience in which I realized the depth of how important my Ministry (and Initiations) are to me.\u00a0 At the time of the riots in South Central LA, I was in France facilitating Movement Workshops under Insight (called Energy in those days in French).\u00a0 I got a call in the middle of the night from my roommates saying there were fires all around my home, telling me to be prepared that I might not have a home when I came back!\u00a0 I went back to bed shaking and had a little prayer with J-R\u00a0 \u2013 \u201cLord show me what to do here \u2013 go home? Stay and keep my commitment to facilitate my Fun Movement Ministry?\u201d\u00a0 I fell asleep and a while later, I sat bolt upright and burst into tears.<\/p>\n

I heard in the depths of my Beingness the words \u2013 \u201cThey can have my home. They can have my car\u2026 No one can take THE most important things from me\u2026 My MINISTRY & My INITIATIONS!!!!\u201d\u00a0 That was the start of an even deeper process of Commitment, SE\u2019s, Service, Dedication, JOY, and all that I experience as these Gifts of Ministry and Initiation!!!\u00a0 And, so I don\u2019t leave you hanging\u2026 I did choose to stay in France for those 2 weeks, had an amaaaazing time sharing my Gifts\/Ministry with adults, kids and the French Ministers and Insight grads.\u00a0 When I returned my home was there, welcoming me back as always!<\/p>\n

* Many of you know how much I absolutely loooooove being involved with USM, Insight, HeartFelt, PTS, MSIA, Ministerial Board\u2026\u00a0 Those are my favorites \u2013 assisting, taking, auditing, holding the Light, sharing in all of J-R\u2019s amaaaazing organizations.\u00a0 Often I laugh and say, \u201cThank you, God, that my \u2018worst karma\u2019 is having to choose between which of these seminars\/classes\/organizations I\u2019ll assist at or participate with next\u201d – often there are 2 or 3 at the same time, and I want to do them ALLLL!!\u00a0 I\u2019ve been involved with most of J-R\u2019s organizations since they began and plan to be involved until the day Spirit takes me Home to the Heart of God.\u00a0 Bestest Ministries around!!!!<\/p>\n

* Many years ago I was in a funk even though I was doing lots of fun service in J-R\u2019s organizations \u2013 not much work, not much money, not much direction. So, I had a counseling with Johnny Morton.\u00a0 John spent pretty much the entire hour saying, \u201cBerti, do more Service!\u201d\u00a0 I had no clue how that would support my abundance and direction, especially since I was already doing a lot of service.\u00a0 After clearing my upset (feeling like I had wasted my money, of course, – you know, \u201cJewish karma\u201d) I thunk to meself, \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll try it and see what happens \u2013 after all, he is the Traveler\u201d…\u00a0 Well, lo and behold, every area in my life perked up and I fell into an even deeper Loving of Serving and Joy!!\u00a0 I just love how Spirit choreographs my life!!\u00a0\u00a0 Sweet Surprises around every corner!<\/p>\n

* Around the same time someone gave me a book (after they heard my \u201csob story\u201d \u2013 or as we say in Insight \u2013 my victim story).\u00a0 I never read the book, but tore the cover off and put it where I saw it many times daily \u00a0\u2013 it was called Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow<\/u>!!!\u00a0 (and, it\u2019s still on my wall all these years later!)\u00a0 Well, guess what? I decided to do even more Service because that\u2019s what I truly love, and again, lo and behold, many surprise Gifts poured in \u2013 not from the Service, itself, but from those Magical Spirit Surprises, Miracles, and Blessings that I Intend and Seed for every day!<\/p>\n

For instance, one client I saw for only one session in the 1970\u2019s (whom I never charged as she had limited resources) found me many years later, and sent me a surprise note, saying \u201cthat one session I had with you changed my life. I now have lots of money and I want to pay you for it\u201d and enclosed a check for $3,000!!!\u00a0 Trust!!!\u00a0 Surrender!!\u00a0 Spirit guides!!<\/p>\n

This just in \u2013 the day I sent this article to Deborah, I found a gift card for $200 in an envelop taped to my door!\u00a0 The folks across the hall were gone for a couple of months and asked me to bring up their mail.\u00a0 I did and welcomed them home with a fun sign.\u00a0 In my mind, I was just doing what was really easy and simple \u2013 check their mail every time I checked mine \u2013 easy peasy!\u00a0 No expectation and then this fun surprise gift on my door! \u00a0Like I say \u2013 I love these Magical Spirit Surprises, Miracles and Blessings!!!<\/p>\n

* I was a student in the first 5 years of the Doctor of Spiritual Science class and thought for sure I would graduate in the first class! \u00a0I love my Practical Treatise title\/topic and I was one of the first to get it. \u00a0However, I\u2019ve been so busy living it, I haven\u2019t yet written it yet!! \u2013<\/p>\n

Moving with the Rhythm of Spirit:<\/p>\n

Living My Life as a Co-Creative Labyrinth!!<\/p>\n

That pretty much describes my Ministry \u2013 wherever Spirit sends me, there I go! And, it fits with the first line of my Blessing \u2013 \u201cThe form of unfoldment varies according to that that presents itself\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

* I\u2019m often a \u201clate bloomer\u201d (no judgment on that \u2013 I just know myself and my patterns pretty well!).\u00a0 When I was ordained in 1976, I didn\u2019t understand my Blessing at all.\u00a0 I had no clue who John-Roger was at the time and I thought he had mixed up mine with my buddy George who got ordained after me! It took me years to understand it and now I wouldn\u2019t trade it for the world.\u00a0 I love my Blessing and I love sharing it; when I do often people experience it as a Blessing that is quite universal.\u00a0 We\u2019re all dealing with perfecting whatever form we\u2019re involved with and bringing the Spirit through each form present. And, to add, of course I have a better sense of who J-R is now and he\u2019s my bestest friend everrrr!!<\/p>\n

* One Ministry I adore is my Monday nights with the Ministerial Board.\u00a0 In the mid 1980\u2019s Genie Ford asked me if I would assist in starting a Spanish Board, as more and more Spanish folks were coming in and I love speaking Spanish with all my dear amigos in the Latin American countries and here!!!\u00a0 I loved that idea, joined right in, and have continued attending pretty much every Monday evening ever since. Personally, I am super grateful for Zoom!\u00a0 The traffic in LA is challenging these days \u2013 I live about 9 miles from Prana \u2013 \u201cpiece of cake\u201d with no traffic, right?\u00a0 However, it usually took me between an hour and an hour and a half to get there during rush hour!\u00a0\u00a0 Ya gotta laugh \u2013 it took me exactly 12 minutes to get home at night after the meeting!!!\u00a0 Now, I just wander over to my desk and turn on my computer!\u00a0 AND, it was well well worth the trip to be in the Traveler\u2019s Home, Celebrating our Wonderful Ministers every week!!<\/p>\n

* One of my favorite Ministries (okay ANOTHER one of my favorite Ministries) is to attend Ministers Meetings around the world!!!\u00a0 I love connecting with dear friends I’ve known for many years from many different countries and to make new friends, as I get to know the other Ministers in our wonderful worldwide family!\u00a0 I hope someday to once again attend in person and hug all my fellow Ministers in person!!!\u00a0 There are many Blessings during this wild time!!<\/p>\n

* Lastly, I loooove supporting folks to learn to Love their Precious BodyTemples! \u00a0We have these gifts \u2013 the \u201cclothes that we wear\u201d while here on the planet, and I find it really fun and profound to support folks to clear and heal through Movement some of the \u201cpieces of jewelry\u201d (okay, karma in plain talk) that they don\u2019t need anymore. \u00a0\u00a0Movement is my life \u2013 on all levels, not just the physical.\u00a0 It\u2019s even in my Ministerial Blessing!<\/p>\n

So, there ya have it \u2013 just a few of the multitude of stories I could share about my Ministry and my 50 years of connections with MSIA, J-R, and all his organizations!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
