Paul Kaye recently joked that if you wanted an MSIA service in the eighties you would have paid $100 and complained that we were charging too much.\u00a0 Now, in 2022, if you were to book an MSIA service, you would be paying the same $100 and complaining that we are charging too much.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, five years ago the vast array of John-Roger seminars and meditations could be purchased on a thumb drive for $2,000 to $3,000, or more.\u00a0 Today, hundreds of J-R and John Morton seminars, sharings, and other gems \u2013 much more than were on the MSIA thumb drive &#8212; are available for $10 a month on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/media\/videos\/\">That Which Is<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We are all grateful MSIA\u2019s content and PTS courses have remained available at such reasonable prices and sometimes for no charge at all.\u00a0 MSIA is able to do this because of the joyful givers, those who tithe to MSIA.\u00a0\u00a0 If you want to learn more about tithing or just get a shot of inspiration, there is a whole page of tithing nuggets here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/tithing\">www.msia.org\/tithing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the goodies is a John-Roger excerpt where he shares how the spiritual law of tithing helps move us past the materiality of this world, and \u201csets up a countenance that is a form of glory in the human being.\u201d You can find it here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/john-roger-tithing\">www.msia.org\/john-roger-tithing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Excitement is building for this year\u2019s Conference of Joy, Fun and Laughter which kicks off with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/events\/e\/gathering-of-peacemakers-conference-of-joy-fun-and-laughter\">Gathering of Peacemakers<\/a> event on Wednesday, June 22, 2022.\u00a0\u00a0 We expect much merriment and Spirit at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/events\/e\/joy-and-laugher-the-gifts-blessing-of-spirit\">It\u2019s a Surprise Workshop<\/a>.
