In this John-Roger seminar are contained many of the teachings of MSIA. J-R often teaches by using stories from his experiences. In one, he tells of dialoguing with someone who seemed to be living his life and holding others to the literalness of Biblical quotes. J-R helps the person see that inside he has lost the essence of Spirit. “Your energy level is right in front of your face,” J-R says. “It’s called a lot of terms, like prana or cosmic energy but hey, look, it’s just breath. It’s just breathing in and out. When we do that, we’re actually saying the name of God. That’s the name of God that we’re saying over and over.”
J-R goes on to speak of another conversation in which he said to the person, “You know, you’re a very lovely person. Except your God isn’t big enough. And — this is really important — sometimes we’ve got ourselves so narrowed down to what God can and can’t do, that pretty soon we’ve put Him out of business. Many times the philosophy that we are embracing is not large enough to free us. And then it becomes important that we reevaluate to become freer.”
“You’ll find one thing in MSIA,” J-R says, getting down to the bottom line of the teachings. “This is another way of knowing God, and it is what we call love. Do it through love. And that love is hard to define, but you feel a joy start to take place inside of you — a real joy.” That’s when you see God.
