In the teachings of MSIA, we speak of ten blessings -- loving, caring, sharing, health, wealth, happiness, abundance, prosperity, riches, and touching. Sometimes people ask, "What does touching have to do with the other nine blessings?" You are a touchable being. Being a physical human being is being someone or something that is touchable, meaning you are able to touch, and you are able to be touched. That's how you know you're alive. That's how you know you're something rather than nothing.-John Morton, DSS
