It&#8217;s like going on an adventure. Make up your own movie, for example,\u00a0<em>In Search of the Silence<\/em>. You may find your mind taking you to the beach where you are riding a horse at low tide. Part of the adventure is to find the silence while you are on that fantasy ride. In other words, whatever the mind produces, attempt to find the silence within it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; John-Roger, D.S.S. with Paul Kaye (From:\u00a0<em>What&#8217;s It Like Being You?<\/em>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Prana was a magnificent stage for this year&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Conference of Divine Silence<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 We hope you were able to attend our many events online or in-person.\u00a0\u00a0 Every year things go a little smoother, the energy builds, and the grand finale is the Ministers and the Initiates meetings on Sunday. It gets better and better and, once again, we were told by many folks that this was the \u201cbest Conference, ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>One Accord Living in Grace Retreat<\/strong> at Asilomar in Pacific Grove, California has just been announced for Monday, December 14 to Sunday, December 20, 2026.\u00a0\u00a0 You can register or get more details at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pts.org\/experience-pts\/all-events?search=eyJjYXQiOiIyMCIsInRpdGxlIjoiIn0=\">PTS.org<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 PTS needs at least 60 paid in full registrations by the end of this month to confirm the retreat.\u00a0\u00a0 The One Accord is a seven-day immersive Peace Awareness Retreat designed to support participants in cultivating greater inner peace, spiritual awareness, forgiveness, compassion, and loving connection in an intimate, immersive and gorgeous space.\u00a0\u00a0 Come and join us for this sacred gathering.<\/p>\n<p>At the Ministers Meeting it was announced that there are several daily Intercessory Prayer sessions in multiple languages around the world. If you are moved to participate, you can find them here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heartfelt.org\/prayer-calls\">Open Prayer Calls<\/a>. John Morton recently shared about the immense <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hmvO0z6ba7w?si=h-Pz2WpyZdq2QJc\">value of intercessory prayer<\/a> at Blessing This Day.\u00a0\u00a0 You can also find this John Morton video on the Open Prayer Calls page. And Heartfelt often sends a global prayer message when there are global events that need a dose of extra Light. \u00a0The power of prayer by MSIA ministers makes a bigger impact than we can imagine.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Every little prayer or Light group around, asking for the Light of God for the highest good of mankind and praying and asserting goodwill and brotherhood, helps clean out the negativity we feel.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; John-Roger, DSS<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Each year at Conference we announce several exciting new developments. \u00a0This year we shared that all Discourses are now available on the MSIA App up to the year you have received them.\u00a0\u00a0 If you have already completed all twelve years of Discourses, they are now all available for you to read on the MSIA app. \u00a0 And the brand new MSIA Book Room, where all digital versions of MSIA books are available free of charge, is now prominently found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\">MSIA.org home page<\/a> and is also on the Spanish and Portuguese pages.<\/p>\n<p>There are some very impactful ways that MSIAers can serve from the comfort of home to make the Travelers teachings available to those who are looking for them. A major way to do this is the MSIA YouTube channel, where viewing videos, liking, commenting, and sharing them all help increase their visibility around the world.\u00a0 Please subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/MSIAOrg\">MSIA\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a> if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to be of service is to open the books in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/app\/books\">Book Room<\/a> and go into some of the links there.\u00a0 For example, if you click on the button <strong>Read on Internet Archive<\/strong>\u00a0for a John-Roger or John Morton book, you can add a review of the book.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Or if you click on the\u00a0<strong>Google Play Books<\/strong>\u00a0button, it takes you to the\u00a0book page where you can rate the book or also add a review.\u00a0\u00a0 These small interactions are impactful and demonstrate interest that helps to increase our profile to people looking for the teachings.<\/p>\n<p>Another new development announced\u00a0at Conference is the release of an updated version of \u00a0<em>That Which Is\u00a0<\/em>(TWI) in the MSIA App. It offers a new design, language selections, navigation features, etc. For more details, log in to MSIA.org and check &#8220;Notifications&#8221; at the top of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/app\/notifications\">dashboard<\/a>, then select &#8220;TWI is Getting an Upgrade in the App&#8221; in your inbox.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all of you for all that you give in so many ways.
