I had the Blessing this lifetime of connecting with the Mystical Traveler when I first started studying in MSIA when I was around 13 years old (around 1976). This was in Perth, Western Australia, with my mother, the beautiful and late Fay.<\/p>\n
We had been on a search for the meaning of life for some time – an awesome spiritual quest that included exploring varieties of yoga, the Quakers and Mind Dynamics (which also used a Sanctuary technique, as well as past-life regressions). We also explored the Church of the Mystic Christ, which also came under the Melchizedek line, and also ordained women.<\/p>\n
MSIA resonated for us both because of its practical fusion of east and west, and our immediate and absolute affinity with J-R and the beautiful and humble way he could explain the most profound spiritual truths.<\/p>\n
At that time in Perth there was very little outer contact with MSIA – no seminars or organised group. That made us stronger in Spirit, as we focussed on the inner form of J-R and began to learn the inner truths at the same time as reading the Discourses, and doing the meditations, like The White Light. I remember the absolute burning urge I had to be initiated (it took me around 4 years to work this out, as I think I initially missed this in the first year of Discourses – that I needed to apply and then study for 2 years..)<\/p>\n
Around 7 years later, we were in Sydney, actively volunteering with MSIA, and this is where I first met J-R outwardly. So I was around 21 years old, I think. I got a call saying that J-R was at the house where we volunteered, and if I wanted to meet him in person, I could come over. It was a weekend around summer time, and I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt when the call came. I remember wondering whether I should dress up to meet him – whether that would be more respectful. I suddenly got this strong feeling of, “This is a man who knows me inside out, my Spirit and everything, and I know loves me just as I am. I can go as I am.”<\/p>\n
When I came before him, he was seated in an armchair, and we were alone. I bent down and hugged him and we looked at each other for a while. In the energy exchange it was like meeting an old friend, full of love. I could see how he looked at me that he was pleased, that I pleased him. And I felt so glad to see him – like two like-minded Souls meeting. I don’t recall if we said anything outwardly – however the thought exchange was done.<\/p>\n
Of course I have had other physical encounters with our Beloved J-R since then, however this to me is the stand-out: where it seemed time stood still and we were (and are) One, in the Love of God.<\/p>\n
