I’ve been thinking a lot of J-R’s life for a full intensive year as I have been looking through miles and life times of archival footage for the documentary, “Mystical Traveler \u2013 the Life and Times of Dr. John-Roger\u201d. \u00a0<\/a>As his birthday approached that morning of September 24th 2012 in London, his 78th birthday, I discovered what J-R means to me and what he’s all about to me. In one word: it’s “INTEGRITY”!<\/span><\/p>\n

J-R is Integrity! Since 1986 when I started working consciously with J-R he’s shown nothing but true love to me and gave me the tools through MSIA on how to create, promote and allow that Spirit of Integrity\u00a0to happen in my life.<\/p>\n

\"\"While working on his documentary, “Mystical Traveler” it become clear to me and so I asked J-R if I could read his speech he made during The\u00a0Integrity Awards sometime in the 1980’s.<\/p>\n

I also included a couple of Winston Churchill\u201ds favorite quotes I love.<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday my Beloved,
\nLL
\nJsu Garcia<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving the courage to go with the truth as you know it, as a heartfelt response with care and consideration for others.\u201d\u00a0 – Dr. John-Roger<\/strong> on the meaning of Integrity<\/strong><\/p>\n

J-R’s speech from the Integrity Awards:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWith our modern day methods of communications, we can more readily see what is happening around this world, thereby keeping track of those in this world who are doers.\u00a0 Because they choose to stand in their integrity, their actions in the face of adversity have shown all of us new strength of purpose and have even hinted at ways that we also can become more fully in our own lives.\u00a0 Thereby giving each and every one of us an opportunity to grow in our own individual integrity and to find out for ourselves more of the meaning of this substance and action that we call life.\u00a0\u00a0 And that is what the John-Roger Foundation is here to do.\u00a0 We are dedicated to creating opportunities and expressions to renew our lives.\u00a0 And above all we are here to remind each other that the greatest gift we have is the gift we make of our loving.<\/p>\n

It is our integrity that makes us fragmented or whole. Integrity is basically an inner process, a life giving process.\u00a0 The people that we are honoring this afternoon, I assure you there in no question of their integrity.\u201d
\n– John-Roger<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccess is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.\u201d
\n– Sir Winston Churchill<\/p>\n

\u201cNever, Never, Never, give up.\u201d
\n– Sir Winston Churchill<\/p>\n

And from Lily Waterstone:<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Jsu shared with us about his experience of J-R and the integrity he has inspired and demonstrated, I was also inspired to explore more about this message and meaning of integrity.<\/p>\n

Here is my spontaneous collection from around the room after Jsu shared with us<\/p>\n

J-R’s message about Integrity.<\/p>\n

\"\"The sharings really moved me and I give great thanks from my heart for all the contributions. I am not quoting any names. I hope you all enjoy them also.<\/p>\n

From friends present with J-R on his birthday at the Dorchester in London:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWords and actions match.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhole or complete, consistent, honesty,\u00a0truthfulness or accuracy of one’s actions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIntegrate, joy, integer, join together to make one, infinity, J-R, Loving.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOperating for the truth of my being, compassion, courage, inner peace.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing at one with WHAT IS. Being in alignment with your soul – to recognize that God and I are one and to live from that recognition. Acknowledging the Divine in everyone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing true to oneself, ruthless, strength, regardless of the god of opinion; doing my best inside. To honour and hold true to what I believe to be the right and proper spiritual direction.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHonouring J-R and serving him and to keep honouring that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing honest in your heart and showing that outside. Always act from your heart – that’s integrity, and it’s\u00a0for sharing so don’t keep it to yourself. When your actions match what’s in your heart – like practice what you preach. If I wasn’t acting from my heart, I wouldn’t be here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTo follow my inner guidance and to do the right thing. It’s opposite to abuse. That which I can identify the goodness within me. To be clean, to do things that are clean.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cUplifting thoughts, let go of negativity, do nothing to attract karma. To live in a way that’s as karma free as possible. Purified to our spirit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing true to yourself, knowing what’s mine and what’s not mine. What’s my creation and what’s someone else’s creation. Knowing what’s my responsibility. Having the intention to stay aligned with the Highest Good; if my intention slips out of that I’m out of my integrity.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDoing what I say I’m going to do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDoing the right thing regardless of personal cost.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAble to live with yourself\u00a0and know that you haven’t done anything to upset anyone, that I can do something to help someone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“As above, so below.
\nAs within, so without.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a visual,\u00a0it’s the\u00a0shape of the cross …\u00a0and if I think of the Christ and\u00a0go down that list of sharings below, He\u00a0did all of that.\u00a0 And – this all came up for me during the MSS year 3, it’s also integrating the male & female within. It’s whole.\u00a0The male & female principles of \u201cdoing\u201d (male) with Loving (female). It’s\u00a0Christ on earth.\u00a0It’s service.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
