John Morton and Leigh are now in Europe, stopping first in Turkey to scout for a possible PTS tour there in 2026, then on to events in Bulgaria<\/a>, Spain<\/a>, France<\/a>, and England<\/a> (for John-Roger\u2019s birthday!).\u00a0 They conclude their European visit in Italy, scouting in preparation for the fabulous 2025 PTS Travelers Through the Ages Tour of Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PTS is preparing for the start of the 2024-25 school year with graduate offerings in the Master of Spiritual Science and Doctor of Spiritual Science programs, including MSS and DSS in Transcendent Leadership. We plan to have a \u201csave the date\u201d entry in the MSIA calendar<\/a> for next year\u2019s MSIA Conference very soon \u2013 spoiler alert: the Conference dates are June 25-30, 2025 with “The Inner Master” as the theme\/focus for Conference.<\/p>\n

We occasionally receive requests for information on how to include MSIA, the John-Roger Legacy Fund, or IIWP in people\u2019s estate planning.\u00a0This is always appreciated, and it is a welcome source of funds to support MSIA\u2019s teachings for future generations.\u00a0 Thinking about our mortality is usually not on our radar when we are younger and sometimes easy to put off as we get older.\u00a0 There is a statistic that almost 70% of Americans do not have a will. This number highlights a significant number of folks who have not documented their end-of-life plans, which can lead to complications for their heirs and family members.<\/p>\n

Luckily, there are many resources for making a will online.\u00a0While there are some common aspects, the United States has different rules and requirements in different states for making a valid will.\u00a0It is important to do it correctly.\u00a0The good news is that it is usually pretty simple.\u00a0We mention all of this because another resource came to our attention recently for making a will from an organization called Free Will<\/a>.\u00a0Of course, if you have a lot of assets and\/or a complicated estate, you may want to look into working with a professional to set up a living trust or other options.<\/p>\n

Please contact Mark Lurie<\/a> if you ever have any questions about including MSIA, IIWP, or Heartfelt in your estate planning.<\/p>\n

God Bless you and thank you for participating in MSIA, and for all that you give in so many ways.<\/p>\n

As J-R would constantly remind us, \u201cIt is the loving that makes all this work.\u201d We love and appreciate you!<\/p>\n
