Elizabeth Reece, a member of the administrative staff at the Chancellery offices of the International Community of Christ, occasionally checks the internet for new references to Gene Savoy’s explorations and his other works since people will often use him as example in books they are writing about Peru or Amazonas.

In November 2014 she found a reference to “Gene Savoy” being scheduled as a topic of a high school Catholicism class at St Joseph’s High School in Metuchen, NJ, and she contacted the class instructor, Thomas Cunningham:

Dear Mr.Cunningham,

I stumbled across your teachers outline for the 2014-2015 Religious Studies class at St Joseph High School. On the day of 11/25/14 you listed Gene Savoy as a topic for discussion during Catholism. Since, I have studied and worked with Gene Savoy, (the explorer, religious scholar and teacher who established the International Community of Christ) from 1978 up to his passing in 2007 I wanted to asked if this was the same individual discussed in your class. If so would you be willing to share some details of the reactions received from your students during the discussion, or what source material they used. If it is the same person, the idea that you would offer your freshman class an opportunity to comment about him is very intriguing to me. Thank you very much, I hope this letter is not too intrusive.
Respectfully,
Elizabeth Reece

This was his response:

Hello,
The section on Gene Savoy was covered in our textbook in Chapter 4. There is a short story about Gene Savoy getting lost in the Jungle. He finds himself getting very anxious about the situation, but after settling down… He begins to pray for guidance from God. He eventually is able to find his way out of the jungle , and credits that “quiet time with God” with his trek out of the forest. My students were very interested with the incident. The textbook contains many short stories like this one….

Take Care,
Tom Cunningham

This led Elizabeth to a rather interesting discovery: In Catholic high school classes across the country who use the textbook Path Through Catholicism (Mark Link, 1991), there is a story told by Gene Savoy being used as an example that “God is present in all.”

Here is the article that appears on page 49 of the textbook:

“Practicing unified field attention is a powerful way to accelerate your transformation, and seeing how nonphysical fields connect intimately with physical reality is extremely helpful. Here are a few ways you can practice unifying your two realities:

• Treat the world as if it’s conscious. As often as possible, remember that the world is—right now, at this very minute—precipitating out of a field of consciousness-and-energy. And that living consciousness-and-energy exists through every part of it—through you and even through inanimate objects. …
• Perceive with your whole self. It’s not just your eyes and brain that are attending to life. As often as possible, … shift to your body and cells to see what they’re noticing, then shift to your heart—or liver, or kneecap—to see what it knows. … Occasionally, stretch out and expand your sphere to take in more of the unified field. …
• Practice the art of correlation. When you experience frustration in the outer world, for example, you always experience a matching contraction in your inner world of emotion and thought. …
• Read your reality for deeper meaning. Practicing the art of correlation leads you to guidance. For example, in the outer reality, your car has a flat tire. In the inner world, you see the flat tire relates to your hesitation to move forward on a new project.” ~Penney Peirce

“The list Ms. Peirce has provided is really more of a hierarchy with the other items all being part of treating the world as if it is conscious. When you realize that the world is conscious, animals are conscious, plants are conscious, even rocks are conscious, you can’t help but want to pay closer attention to the relationship of yourself to the rest of the world, and various forms within it. And when you realize that your own consciousness is not limited to your brain, it is only natural to take the step of trying to notice the consciousness of other parts of your body, regardless of how limited that consciousness may be.”

Bill Dailey with his grandniece Helena Savoy in 2014

Bill Kenneth Dailey, brother of the late Gene Savoy, Sr., passed away February 12, 2016 in Reno, Nevada. He was 84 years old.

Bill was born November 21, 1931 to Walter Dailey and Mamie Rogers in Portland, Oregon. He spent the majority of his life in the Great Northwest and moved to Reno permanently in 2006. Bill was a retired surveyor and cartographer and owned Sierra West Photogrammetrics until his retirement in 1991. Bill was an American patriot serving his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He had a passion for history and geography.

His keen interest in Central and South American indigenous civilizations led him to visit Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil, often-times exploring with his half brother, Gene, and the Andean Explorers Club by river boat on the Amazon and research plane over Guyana and Suriname. Gene and Bill also organized the Oregon Expeditionary Society in the 1950’s before Gene’s journey to Peru.

Bill’s family and his brother Gene’s lived together in the same residential complexes in Mexico City and Reno also in the 1970’s. Bill helped Gene relocate and establish headquarters in the United States in 1972 and contributed to the design of the then-new Cosolargy “atom” logo. Sierra West Photogrammetrics took some of the first aerial photographs of the Red Rock Sanctuary in the early 1980’s.

After retirement, Bill moved again to Reno to be closer to his two daughters and extended family. Family members, including Lisa Dailey Robinson, son-in-law Brent Robinson, and granddaughters, Whitney and Morgan, provided Bill with many fun family moments, and he would tell them of his journeys and adventures. Bill’s niece and nephews, Jamila, Sean and Gene Savoy, Jr. and Gene’s daughters also spent time with him, and he was able to enjoy holidays and family gatherings with those he dearly loved.

Bill was predeceased by his parents and brothers Gene Savoy, Sr. and John Dailey. A private celebration of life will be held on Sunday, May 29, 2016 near Pyramid Lake, Nevada.

“Certain Rosicrucian scholars have given special appellations to these three phases of the sun: the spiritual sun they called Vulcan, the solar and intellectual sun, Christ and Lucifer respectively, and the material sun, the Jewish Demiurgus Jehovah. Lucifer here represents the intellectual mind without the illumination of the spiritual mind; therefore it is ‘the false light.’ The false light is finally overcome and redeemed by the true light of the soul called the Second Logos, or Christ. … In the rare treatise ‘The Secret symbols of the Rosicrucian’ Franz Hartmann defines the sun alchemically as: ‘The symbol of Wisdom. The center of power or heart of things. Each living being contains within itself a center of life, which may grow to be a sun. In the heart of the regenerated, the divine power, stimulated by the Light of the Logos, grows into a sun which illuminates his mind.’”~Manly P. Hall

“We would say three suns rather than three phases of the sun, but the basic idea is the same. There is the physical sun which equates to our physical body, the psychic or intellectual sun that equates to our psychic body, and the spiritual sun that relates to and effects the spirit and soul. A special note should be made of the fact that Hall equates the physical sun with both matter and the Demiurge which he says is the Jewish God Jehovah. Something to ponder.”

“It appears that we are approaching a unique time in the history of man and science where empirical measures and deductive reasoning can actually inform us spiritually. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) – put forth by neuroscientists Giulio Tononi and Christof Koch – is a new framework that describes a way to experimentally measure the extent to which a system is conscious.”
