			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>A Huge Thank You to All You are the Blessings Webcast Viewing Hosts</h1>
<p>I&#8217;d like to acknowledge and appreciate each of you for holding the Light and making the Travelers teachings more accessible by offering a You are the Blessings webcast viewing in your community. What a gift each of<br />
you are, and I hope you have taken some time to acknowledge yourself.</p>
<p>We&#8217;d love to hear how your webcast viewings went &#8211; many of you have emailed me already, and your stories are so inspirational. If you have any moving stories, learnings, etc, that you&#8217;d like to share, please email or<br />
call me! For example &#8211; what did you learn? What touched you? How many people came? What was their experience like?</p>
<p>Here are a few excerpts so far:</p>
<p>&#8220;It was an enjoyable gathering and I sent them home with fresh vegetables from my garden.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The webcast was wonderful and we had around 9 persons attending. We bought the necessary equipment to connect the lap top to our widescreen TV . Something happened to the connection , (a loose wire). So we viewed on the small laptop. PERFECT!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We had food and I had a drawing for one of the You are the Blessings book. I wrote 6 words (light, grace, beloved&#8230;.) on separate pieces of paper and had people choose a piece of paper &#8211; then I put the same words in a separate bowl and asked for a volunteer to pull a piece of paper. The person who had the matching word won the book &#8211; &#8220;</p>
<p>&#8220;Hosting the “You Are The Blessings” webcast has actually brought a lot of positive change in the entire Niger delta area in Nigeria, coupled with the group all night <a title="More Info on Spiritual Exercises" href="http://www.msia.org/msia.qry?ID=67">spiritual exercises</a> makes a whole lot of difference in the area of purification and cleansing of this part of the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>I feel inspired and uplifted through connecting with each and every one of you. God Bless Us All, and Light ahead to a wonderful continuation of John&#8217;s webcasts. I encourage you to continue hosting webcast viewings in your community, and I will be in touch with more information on this as it comes forward. And if you have creative ideas, suggestions, etc., please feel free to email me anytime.</p>
<p>Love and Light,<br />
Debbie Roth<br />
MSIA Outreach Coordinator<br />
debbie(at)msia.org</p>
<p>Here is a beautiful quote from John&#8217;s You are the Blessings book &#8211; we hope that it blesses your every breath this day and in the days ahead:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>&#8220;When you know who God is, you can wait with a smile on your face.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em>-John Morton, You are the Blessings</em></p>
</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hosting the &#8220;You Are The Blessings&#8221; webcast has actually brought a lot of positive change in the entire Niger delta area in Nigeria, coupled with the group all night <a title="More Info on Spiritual Exercises" href="http://www.msia.org/msia.qry?ID=67">spiritual exercises</a> makes a whole lot of difference in the area of purification and cleansing of this part of the world.<br />
The most important thing about this class is, the awakening of the divine spark in us, the blessings aspect of us, the worthy part of us, we are really blessed to be partakers of this class, we just hope to keep it on.<br />
We where about 48 participants, excluding children, we also had the opportunity to listen to <a title="Journey to the East DVD - MSIA Store" href="http://www.msia.org/store/product.php?productid=3286&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1" target="_blank">&#8220;The Journey to the East&#8221; DVD </a>that night, so everything was just fine.<br />
Looking forward for the last part, for the graduation convey our greeting&#8217;s to all and remain bless.<br />

<p>Based on his wonderful new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings-Meditations-Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1206488603&amp;sr=1-1%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E"> You Are the Blessings: Meditations and Reflections on Life, God and Us</a>, <a href="http://www.msia.org/msia.qry?ID=40">John Morton</a> facilitated our delightful and uplifting April webclass. From Africa, South America, Indonesia, throughout the United States and the heart of Santa Monica, our spiritual family tuned in together to experience the blessings we truly are. We shared a heartfelt, joyous evening as we realized more than ever before that we are God’s blessings, always in all ways.</p>
<p>Our evening began with the beautiful Alexandra Roberts welcoming us all and introducing us to the purpose and guidelines for our webclasses. Alexandra showed us John Morton’s new book and encouraged us to read and enjoy his profound words of inspiration and comfort. Alexandra noted that <a href="http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings-Meditations-Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1206488603&amp;sr=1-1"> You Are the Blessings</a> is filled with messages of loving which is what <a href="http://www.msia.org/">Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness</a> (MSIA) and John Morton, MSIA’s Spiritual Director, are all about.</p>
<p><a href="http://theblessings.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/61.jpg"><img class="alignright alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-28" style="float: right;" title="John Morton - Spritual Director - Meditation Teacher" src="http://theblessings.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/61.jpg" alt="John Morton - Spritual Director MSIA" width="288" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>Two Moments of Peace with <a href="http://www.j-r.org/">John-Roger</a>, founder of MSIA, helped us remember the blessings of children and how we all are God’s children in our loving hearts. John Morton then joined us and asked us to look at how we ourselves are God’s blessings. John reflected on the ten blessings that John-Roger identified &#8212; Loving, Caring, Sharing, Health, Wealth, Happiness, Prosperity, Abundance, Riches and Touching &#8212; and how we are each of those blessings. John then stepped into the studio audience, shaking hands with some fellow blessings, and encouraging us wherever we are to reach out and offer the blessings of a loving, caring touch to one another.</p>
<p>John reminded us that our breath, which comes from a divine source, is confirmation that we are inherently good. Look for the good in each and every situation, John encouraged us, because every situation is inherently good. John then guided us through a partner process, either with a physical partner or by following the handout provided on the web. Through a series of poignant questions, we looked within to discover more fully how we truly are the blessings in our challenges. We then realized how challenges themselves can be blessings in our lives. An abundance of blessings unfolded in often surprising yet deeply comforting ways, bringing forward the joy of knowing who we truly are &#8212; God’s Beloveds.</p>
<p>To help us see more fully how we are the blessings, John invited questions from the studio audience and around the world. Questions reflected a variety of topics, including worship, ambition, tithing, handling fear, and getting what we want. In each sharing, I heard John encourage us to see how each and every thing, person and situation is a blessing for us and how we are the blessings as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://theblessings.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/37.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29" style="float: left;" title="Meditation Class - John Morton" src="http://theblessings.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/37.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="190" /></a>John encouraged us to love what is here and now, and appreciate and care for the opportunities that are present in this very moment. He reminded us to be thankful for everything, including the air we breathe, food we eat, and having a place to live. John noted that tithing, in its essence, is about giving the value of what we have received and is most importantly about our divine partnership with God. When we encounter difficulties, John reassured us we can always return to the loving. Remember that loving will prevail, John said as he closed the evening, and that’s the eternal good news.</p>
<p>Before signing off for the evening, Alexandra thanked us all for tuning in and let us know about upcoming MSIA events in Southern California as well as our next webcast, an Open Question and Answer Evening with John Morton, on Thursday, May 29, 2008 at 6:30 pm PST.
