When he asked John-Roger how he could best share about MSIA, J-R\u2019s response was not to say anything, rather to let his Light shine such that people see it and ask him about what he is doing.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this is how many of you found MSIA. Even so, we have heard from many individuals that trying to articulate what MSIA is about, and share what our experience has been, can be very challenging. \u00a0With this in mind, we wanted to provide you with some suggestions on how to share MSIA when others express interest or inquire what you are doing that allows you to keep such a good attitude in the face of challenges. Here they are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The Soul Transcendence web site at <a href=\"https:\/\/soultranscendence.org\">soultranscendence.org<\/a> is designed for people who know nothing about Soul Transcendence or MSIA and want to learn or experience what we have to offer. The content has been carefully curated to guide seekers through an introduction to the path of Soul transcendence, an overview of next steps they can take. This includes an online support community of seekers new to MSIA and a network where people can connect, chat, and get to know others who are also on this journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Loving Each Day quotes are easy to share from the MSIA.org website or the MSIA app.\u00a0\u00a0 There are many subscribers to Loving Each Day emails who are not yet active MSIA students.\u00a0 The emails are a wonderful daily spiritual support for thousands of people around the world. To sign-up to receive Loving Each Day quotes, they can visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msia.org\/quotes\">msia.org\/quotes<\/a> and sign-up at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">There are John-Roger audio meditations and seminars available to the public on Spotify and Pandora you can share with others. Simply go to Spotify or Pandora and look for John-Roger, DSS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Books by John-Roger and John Morton are always a great way to share the teachings.\u00a0\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/journey-of-a-soul\">Journey of a Soul<\/a> book is available free to download at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/journey-of-a-soul\">msia.org\/journey-of-a-soul<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 Many books are available as audiobooks narrated by John-Roger, Paul Kaye, and others.\u00a0 They can be found on major audiobook platforms such as Audible.com.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">MSIA\u2019s YouTube channel at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/MSIAOrg\">youtube.com\/user\/MSIAOrg<\/a> has several introductory videos as well as several curated lists of J-R and John videos. Many people are familiar and comfortable with YouTube as a platform, and so sending individual videos or even an entire list can be a great way to share that does not require them to login in or sign up for anything.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>That Which Is<\/em> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatwhichis.org\">thatwhichis.org<\/a> is also a great place to send people new to MSIA.\u00a0 \u00a0There are <em>That Which Is<\/em> videos and playlists clearly displayed for a new user that are directed to introduce MSIA teachings. For example, there are great seminars like Introduction to MSIA, The Spiritual Warrior, and the Two Processes of Mind: Attitude and Altitude. \u00a0There are also meditations like: the Sacred Sanctuary, the Cathedral of the Soul, and the Hu Meditation.\u00a0 If someone really wants to know about MSIA and John-Roger, the entire documentary <em>Mystical Traveler &#8211; The Life and Times of Dr. John-Roger<\/em> is there too.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any other ways for sharing MSIA with new folks that you have found useful, please let us know. \u00a0\u00a0We want to make sure that every student has the tools they need to study in MSIA and how they can share about their experience with others.<\/p>\n<p>As always, please join us in placing this all into the Light for the Highest Good. And thank you for standing with us in God\u2019s Light, love and Sound, sharing the grace of the Traveler\u2019s teachings throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p>The MSIA Presidency \u2013 Paul, Vincent, and Mark<br \/>\nMSIA Succession \u2013 Jeffrey &amp; Anna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breaking news!\u00a0 The custom Quick Link feature on the MSIA.org home page has been launched.\u00a0\u00a0 If you are logged into the MSIA.org web site with your student user and password, go to the home page (click on the MSIA logo in the upper left corner on any page) and look at the Quick Links section [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":110877,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[266,6771],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-msia-presidency-updates"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110876"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110876\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
