HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

As we enter this special Christmas-Epiphany Season, I send you and your loved ones my best wishes and prayers that God’s blessings fill you with abundant joy and happiness.

Of course, you know that we here in the Reno Community hold Sunrise Divine Service from Christmas Day ( December 25th) through Epiphany Day (January 6th) every year to celebrate the Holiday Season. Even though you may not be here in Reno with us in person, I invite you to celebrate the Season with us in Spirit and through the Sun of Righteousness. I encourage you to join us at sunrise for the Twelve Days of Christmas, which are from December 25th to January 5th, and then, of course, on Epiphany Day, January 6th.

To aid you in this endeavor, I am attaching a short piece of music from the Sunrise Divine Service (click here for the audio). You may play this on the way to your favorite sunrise location or shortly before the sun comes up. Or you may go to the Cosolargy Facebook Members Forum and listen to one of the previous sunrise services shortly before you observe sunrise. Here’s the link:

On behalf of the entire Community, I wish you a joyous and blessed Christmas-Epiphany Season and a prosperous 2026.

Gene

By The Reverend Father Ted Staver

In August of 2024, the Church was approached by the Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) to expand an existing access easement through a small portion of the Sanctuary. The purpose of the easement is for TMWA to access their 2 million gallon water storage tank which sits on the other side of Church property near the main Sanctuary entrance off Matterhorn Boulevard.

TMWA’s 2 million gallon water storage tank

TMWA has had access to their water tank since July 2007 when they entered into an agreement with the Church. As it turns out, the road to access their tank is not big enough to allow their large tanker trucks to get to the tank to perform their water distribution task.

After one year of discussing the possibilities of allowing them to expand the road to accommodate their access, the Church agreed to work with them in such a way that both parties would benefit. The Church agreed to lease approximately half an acre of the Sanctuary for the expansion of the access road.

Because the existing gate would have to be moved approximately 50 feet, it was decided to replace the old gate (which was constructed in the early 1980s) with the gate that used to grace New Mount Zion in southwest Reno. TMWA agreed to pay the cost of removing the old gate and replacing it with the Zion gate and fencing. TMWA also paid the Church a fee for the expanded easement and will pave the entrance when they put in their new road.

An agreement between TMWA and the Church was finalized in August 2025 – one year after they originally approached us – and construction of the new gate and fence was completed in November.

We have posted a gallery of photos with before and after images of the process. As you can see from the photos, the new Sanctuary gate is quite impressive and gives the Sanctuary entrance an entirely different character. I should mention that the new gate is automated with solar-powered motors, security cameras, and the latest technologies and phone apps. The Ministers that reside at the Sanctuary appreciate the upgrade, as does the Congregation.

All this was made possible by Bishop Gene Savoy, Jr. It was his negotiating skills that made this happen. Thank you for your support!

Work begins with the removal of the Zion gate.

After about 5 hours of work, the Zion gate has been removed.

The massive gate posts have now been relocated and are being concreted in place.

All four gate posts have been set and are waiting to have the gates placed on them.

After the gates were set and adjusted and the minor details fixed, it was time to automate the gate.

At last, we come to the final phase where we gave our beautiful gate a fresh coat of paint.

“Praise to the Great Lords of Eternity who, once such as we, now sit in the Everlasting Halls. Sanctified forever be the name of The One God, to Whom Alone shall be given reverence and glory, Who Alone is worthy of worship.

“Greetings, my Companions in Suffering; may the sun ever rise in glory over your fields. May you enjoy peace and prosperity here, and rise in splendor to a life of beauty in the Region of Light.

“May your servants be ever dutiful and your sons upright. May the women of your household be ever diligent and neat, chaste and modest.

“Two generations have passed into judgment since the wild dogs came swiftly in the night and scattered the seeds of wisdom to the winds.

“The Great Land shall no more know the true greatness of wisdom. The black soil shall not nourish its seed. The seed shall spring up and burst forth into leaf in foreign lands, among strange people.

“Our destiny lies Northward, and such is foretold in the Sacred Writings. I go and my household, and Jothan the Sartisian with his household. My brother Kabel also and his daughter, with Karob and Agab of the house of Moshes.

“We go by way of Kambusis and the waters of Jabel, over the wild wilderness to the Mountains of Winds. Beyond them we journey into Kindia, where there are pines.

“We shall take the records of the Eastern Quarter and the Guardians, who remain with us.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MAN:28:1-8)

Great Lords

The Great Lords this is talking about are not gods, but advanced spiritual beings who have left the physical realm and now sit in Heaven, which the quote calls “the Everlasting Halls”.

The One God

The quote was written in ancient Egypt, where most believe that a pantheon of many gods was worshiped. The quote tells us that some were aware that there is only One True God, the God in Heaven, the God of Spirit, not matter.

May the Sun Ever Rise

Naturally, we want the sun to always rise. If it didn’t, we would be in trouble. But these ancient priests of Egypt were talking about the spiritual sun as much as the physical, though they don’t say it.

Rise in Splendor

The priest is here wishing for you to rise to a life of splendor in the Region of Light, another way of saying Heaven, as that is the realm of Light. It must be noted that Light is capitalized in the quote, indicating that it refers to Spiritual Light, not ordinary light.

Wild Dogs

The “wild dogs” that came in the night to scatter the seeds of wisdom are not actual dogs, but barbarians who opposed the wisdom schools of ancient Egypt. Who these barbarians were, we don’t know.

Destiny lies Northward

Those who fled from the Barbarians headed north, probably to Greece and India (which is called Kindia in the Quote). In these new lands, the remnants of the ancient priesthood of Egypt began new schools of wisdom and spiritual development. They brought with them the “records of the Eastern Quarter” which were most likely records of their schools, who attended them, where they were located, their initiation rites, and so on. Those records would help in establishing new schools in the new lands they traveled to. By so doing, they assure that the Spiritual Sun will forever rise in glory.

Astronomers have produced the first continuous, 2-dimensional maps of the outer edge of the sun’s atmosphere, a shifting, frothy boundary that marks where solar wind escapes the sun’s magnetic grasp. By combining the maps and close-up measurements, scientists from the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) showed that the boundary grows larger, rougher and spikier as the sun becomes more active.

A powerful solar storm arrived last May and pushed Earth’s protective systems harder than anything seen in more than twenty years. When waves of charged material erupted from the Sun and slammed into the planet on May 10 and 11, 2024, the impact set off a chain of rapid changes in the space around you. What scientists uncovered from this event offers the clearest picture yet of how an extreme solar storm can squeeze Earth’s plasma layers, distort the upper atmosphere, and disrupt the technology people rely on every day.

For decades, we have been taught that the universe is expanding faster and faster. That belief has influenced our view of distant galaxies, how cosmologists have built their theories, and how researchers have described a mysterious, repulsive force we reference as dark energy. This idea even won scientists the Nobel Prize in Physics. Recently, however, new evidence suggests that this narrative could be more complex and much more personal than we may have once thought.

“These are God’s words on the Hidden Portal, struck by one who slept within the temple and who knows the will of God. If they be heavy, they are also sound:

“’My children shall pass across the wilderness and sea, and my wisdom shall go with them. The whirlwind shall not strike them, nor shall they be consumed by the sea monsters. When all this generation and its children shall be as swathed bodies in their coffins, my children shall not be

at rest.’

“’They shall come to a land of many waters, where gold is found and there is copper in abundance. There they shall erect a temple to the glory of God, and they will prosper and increase. Their women shall be honoured by the water beast and rejoice in their good fortune.’

“’These are the words they shall remember and strike on marble at the temple gate. These are the words they shall engrave forever:

“’Good deeds must outweigh wicked ones on the Great Scales; otherwise, the spirit is doomed to darkness.’

“A man is expected to strive for perfection on Earth, but not to achieve it. Let him be judged according to his efforts.

“Bewail not if prosperity departs from you; it passes from the good, for they have passed its test.

“The day of the Destroyer will come again and the land shall be laid waste.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (Man:26:2-9)

The Hidden Portal

We in Cosolargy know that the real Hidden Portal is the Spiritual Sun, or the Sun of Righteousness, from which the Light of God streams forth to all of us. While this Light reaches all people and all beings, very little of it is absorbed unless one actively prepares to receive it. The quote may be referring to a lesser portal, which was probably the entrance to a secret temple in ancient Egypt.

Wisdom Shall go With Them

This paragraph is saying that some of those who are students of the great wisdom schools of ancient Egypt shall travel to other lands and bring the teachings with them. That doesn’t mean that the teachings would be revealed to the general public, but that secret wisdom schools would be established in other lands. When the quote says these travellers will not be struck by the whirlwind or consumed by monsters, it is an allegorical way of saying they will be protected from the forces and beings of evil.

Land of Many Waters

This description of their destination could apply to Greece since a large part of this country is islands. We know that temples of wisdom were built in Greece and that ancient Greece became a land of wisdom and prophecy. If one visits Greece today, one can still find the ruins of some of these centers of prophecy, such as the one at Delphi. It is also true that copper and gold was found in Greece. In fact, large deposits of both of those metals have recently been found in Greece.

Good Deeds

It is true that anyone who wishes to save their soul must engage mostly in good deeds. That doesn’t mean that one can engage in evil acts, then overcome the karma by doing good. Once a person has awakened to truth, they should avoid evil deeds as much as possible. Evil deeds of the past may be forgiven, but the karmic debt must still be paid.

Strive for Perfection

It is good to strive for perfection, especially spiritual perfection. It is true that it is almost never achieved during our physical life, but we should try anyway. Contrary to popular belief, the search for “perfection” continues after physical death if we have made sufficient effort to awaken and develop our spiritual faculties while physically alive. If you decide to wait until you die before developing your spirit, it will be too late.

Day of the Destroyer

Spiritual leaders say that we are close to the beginning of a new Golden Age of Man. Unfortunately, as we approach that period, the beings and forces of darkness will fight tooth and nail to maintain their control over the Earth. Those who are following the True Teachings of God will be protected from the worst of it, but we may still have to deal with some suffering and hardship. When that happens, we must remind ourselves that better times are to come.
