We have been deeply touched by his departure and will surely miss him, as we will not be able to touch or embrace his physical form again. But we are aware that in Spirit we are one and eternally connected.<\/p>\n<p>Though we may mourn his physical loss, we consider it appropriate to acknowledge, and remain eternally grateful to God and Spirit, the life and dedication to service which he exemplified while in the physical form.<\/p>\n<p>We remember with joy that through inspiration from the awakened, loving consciousness which expresses as the Mystical Traveler, J-R had generously shared from the spiritual heart about unconditional loving , forgiveness and gratitude as practical expressions of the presence of the God essence in us.  His emphasis on Spiritual Exercises as practical tools\/techniques of liberating the Spirit within us into the heart of God (Soul Transcendence), by way of the Sound Current and Light of God, are foundations which will leave us grounded in his spiritual legacies.<\/p>\n<p>It is on this premise that we his students, in MSIA Centre, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, join The MSIA Presidency and Staff Members, our Beloved John Morton, and all Votaries of the Traveler to celebrate John-Roger&#8217;s transition into immortality.  It is surely an opportunity for establishing and sustaining his teachings for a tremendous spiritual growth.<\/p>\n<p>We therefore pray God that our spiritual strength and consciousness remain and become more open than ever, to enable us to awaken fully into the Traveler\u2019s Consciousness, and the ever present Christ Essence within until we meet in due time, in the eternal home of all evolved Souls.  We love you! We support you!
