Well, it is official. For about the thirtieth year in a row, everyone said that this was the best MSIA Conference ever. The Conference of Joy, Fun and Laughter was physically held at Prana this year for the first time in MSIA\u2019s history and the Traveler\u2019s energy permeated everywhere. Prana chefs, David Funk and Ned O\u2019Neill, and special guest chef Hector Ojeda Ruiz, served delicious meals that kept everyone\u2019s basic self happy between events.<\/p>\n
There were tents set up in the courtyard so folks could participate in the open air, as well as in dining areas at the labyrinth terrace level making the experience more spacious and comfortable. Some people were online for a few days and then showed up in person for the initiates and ministers meetings.<\/p>\n
It was a reunion for many of us as we hadn\u2019t seen a lot of folks, particularly those visiting from out of state and overseas, for over two years.\u00a0 MSIAers came from Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Bulgaria as well as from around the United States. The BlessingsFest was the cherry on top of the whipped cream on top of the flourless chocolate cake, with John Morton pouring out blessings for over five hours for the participants online and at Prana.<\/p>\n
The Conference ministers and initiates meetings are posted online in their respective sections in the Student Dashboard of MSIA.org. Please check out the new \u201cInitiates Only\u201d section of MSIA.org that now has articles for initiates and frequently asked questions. New articles will be added on an ongoing basis, so check it periodically to see what is there.<\/p>\n
Many of the articles and frequently asked questions in the \u201cInitiates Only\u201d section come from the 17 issues of Soundings<\/em>. Soundings<\/em> was the MSIA initiates newsletter, that was published between 1979 and 1990. In one of the newsletters, the SAT seminar \u201cWalking the Straight and Narrow<\/a>\u201d was mentioned where J-R shares information about working with the Traveler above Soul level.\u00a0 It is a terrific seminar, available to all SAT subscribers who are members of That Which Is.\u00a0\u00a0 We highly recommend it.<\/p>\n Another new feature on MSIA.org is Events-at-a-Glance<\/a>. It\u2019s an easier way to get a multi-month overview of the upcoming PTS and MSIA events.\u00a0\u00a0 You can find it at the top of the MSIA \u201cOnline Calendar\u201d, in the MSIA.org home page \u201cQuick Links\u201d, and the menu of the MSIA.org home page. The Events-at-a-Glance<\/a> page has a filter that allows you to scan for specific upcoming events with John Morton, Heartfelt gatherings, Ministers Meetings, Meditations and classes with Paul Kaye, and PTS Undergraduate Classes.<\/p>\n More exciting news \u2013 we now have live streaming on the MSIA app. \u00a0In this first phase we are focusing on Blessings This Day. You will see a banner appear on the home page of the MSIA App fifteen minutes before the start of the Blessings This Day program; just click on the banner and you will connect directly to the livestream. The next phase will offer the same ease and convenience to access other livestream programs, including the monthly global Ministers meeting.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve also added the option to create multiple customized playlists in That Which Is, as well as an offline playlist so you can listen to your favorite selections even when you are not connected a Wifi or phone network. Seminar Leaders can use the customized playlist feature to keep a library of seminars they\u2019ve played for their seminar group.<\/p>\n The results of our travel and event survey are in and there was enough interest to create a Living in Grace retreat this December at Asilomar in Northern California. We are negotiating the arrangements with the Asilomar facility and hope to have an update soon. There was also a very positive response to going to Israel next year.\u00a0\u00a0Stay tuned for more information.<\/p>\n 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 The MSIA Presidency \u2013 Paul, Vincent, and Mark <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, it is official.
