DETACHMENT/FREEDOM

Students explore how attachment to a point of view, old habit, or behavior can lock them into something that is no longer serving their highest good. They then learn to detach from those things that have been limiting them and to open themselves to experience the true freedom upon which Spirit rides.

EXPLORING SPIRIT IN EVERYDAY LIFE

This workshop presents seven tools for spiritual living that are directly applicable to our everyday lives. Students learn more about letting go and letting God direct their lives for our highest good and chanting the names of God to attune themselves to the Spirit within and raise their consciousnesses on a daily basis. Prayer becomes a dynamic and participatory activity. Listening to the Spirit within, forgiving ourselves and others, and unconditional loving can lift us and head us in God's direction.
Duration: An Evening Workshop
Prerequisite: None

FORGIVENESS

In this class, students experience the value of forgiveness as a daily exercise in creating more loving in their lives. Forgiveness gives the opportunity to participate in life as a statement of caring, sharing and nurturing. By practicing forgiveness, students take authority over themselves and realize that there is never a good reason to withdraw loving.

GRATITUDE

INTRODUCTION TO THE CHRIST WITHIN

This workshop is designed to offer an experience of the student's own divine nature and of his oneness with God. It does not matter what religious background he might be. It does not even matter if he really believes in God or not, because this workshop does not deal with beliefs. It deals with a reality that students can experience directly with the willingness to be open to that experience.

INTRODUCTION TO THE THREE SELVES

The three selves work together through channels of communication to help us awaken to our Soul: The High Self, the keeper of the life plan, will send information about the life blueprint down to the Basic Self, and the Basic Self will filter it up to the Conscious Self through the unconscious and subconscious. Students learn an introduction to the benefits of keeping these channels of communication open between the three selves.

THE SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES OF
ABUNDANCE AND PROSPERITY
Drawing upon Bible passages and the many seminars that John-Roger has done over the years, students learn the deeper meaning of wealth, abundance, prosperity, and riches. As they explore their own concepts about abundance and the results they have produced, students are given the opportunity to bring more Spirit into that aspect of their lives. The spiritual principles of seeding and tithing are presented as ways to bring a greater awareness of how God can be their "partner" in life. Students often experience a greater level of abundance and prosperity as they test the principles of seeding and tithing and focus on gratitude for the many ways that they are blessed.
Duration: Five-Week Class
Prerequisite: None

WHAT IS GRACE?

What is Grace? When we make space in our consciousness to recognize the blessings of Spirit, Spirit moves us above the cares and woes of the lower worlds into the levels of consciousness where we transcend our karma -- where we can recognize that we are one with God.
Duration: Evening Workshop
Prerequisite: None

WHAT IS LOVING?

MSIA teaches that people are capable of loving all things -- that is called unconditional love, living love, or acceptance of what is. Love can be looked at as the essence that brings or holds things together like the cells of a body are held together. Cells are "in love" with each other. In this introductory workshop, students will have the opportunity to explore and experience living love.
Duration: Evening Workshop and On-Line Class
Prerequisite: None
