Stairway leading up to bright light
“The path to immortality is hard, and only a few find it. The rest await the great Day when the wheels of the universe shall be stopped and the immortal sparks shall escape from the sheaths of substance. Woe unto those who wait, for they must return again, unconscious and unknowing, to the seed-ground of the stars, and await a new beginning. Those who are saved by the light of the mystery which I have revealed unto you, … shall return again to the Father who dwelleth in the White Light, and shall deliver themselves up to the Light shall be absorbed into the Light, and in the Light they shall become Powers in God. This is the way of God and is revealed only to them that have wisdom.” ~Hermes
The first sentence of the quote backs up other recent posts so I won’t revisit that subject here. It gets more interesting after that.

Due to hundreds of requests received over the past seven years, we are delighted to begin certifying and training select individuals in Sonatherapy ® beginning this October 1, 2015 (enrollment deadline). All details may be found at:
http://sonatherapy.com/certification-training/
Please share this unique opportunity with your healing colleagues. This is an important step forward in WBV therapies!
Basically, there are three tiers:
(1) An individual who has purchased and read SONA:Healing with Wave Front BIOresonance TM (2008) and Sonatherapy ®: Healing with Light. Color, Sound, Water & Subtle Energies (2012), who understands those materials and can answer the online questionnaire, plus discuss these concepts and what he/she is doing on the telephone and/or inemails, may receive initial certification as an “Associate in Basic Sonatherapy ®.” Such persons may include physicians (traditional and alternative), nurse practitioners, sound healers, light and color healers, chiropractors, massage therapists, energy medicine workers, and the like.
(2) An individual who has done all of the above and then undertakes a twelve-month training program in which PDFs of lessons are sent via email, who submits monthly reports and communicates via telephone/Skype, and eventually visits before the end of the year at Steamboat Healing Center for hands-on observation and evaluation, may be certified as an “Advanced Practitioner of Sonatherapy ®.”
(3) The individual who accomplishes all of the above and who also studies one or more years with Jamilian University in the “Arts, Sciences, and Technologies of Cosolargy ®” is eligible for eventual graduation and a signed diploma as a “Master Practitioner of Sonatherapy ®,” subject to faculty review by Cosolargy ® International.
Note: Only sincere applicants with experience, knowledge, or background in healing (traditional or alternative) should apply. Enrollment for the Training Course will be limited; whereas, many may receive the “Basic” certification following review. Once awarded, certificates will be renewed (with additional licensing fee)annually. In rare cases, certification may be revoked. (Sonatherapy ® is a registered Trademark of Cosolargy ® International, a 501(C)3, Corporation Sole, and its outreach and image must be protected.)
Those certified assume an ongoing relationship with Dr. Gary Robert Buchanan, The Sona Group, Steamboat Healing Center, and Cosolargy® International. Approved practitioners will be added to the Sonatherapy ® listing of preferred practitioners situated around the globe.
The Training Course…
Consists of twelve papers covering all aspects of Sonatherapy ®, inclusive of its 40-year history; The Sona Group; Cymatic Therapy and Dr. Peter Guy Manners; theory and “hands-on” practicum for students to undertake each month; hundreds of illustrations/photos/charts/diagrams; building “harmonically coherent” Sonations; Cymatics and Synergetics; current and evolving application systems; suggested readings, online links, contact information for fellow practitioners; hundreds of new and improved ABox and Sona Analog Box set-ups for Sonations to be used in therapies — listings given each month; protocols for conditions; infrasonics and base pulse-tones; how to set-up a treatment room and practice; reviews of new studies and approaches in physical and psychological therapeutics; the vibrational relationship of phonons and photons (biophotons), fractal and quantum studies; the acupoints and meridians (TCM tunings); acupressure/acupuncture/ reflexology/ auriculotherapy; light and color applications and systems; hydrotherapy and sound inductions; third- and fourth-dimensional healing; reading and clearing the fields; ethics and legal concerns — in short, everything one must learn to become a certified, trained, and licensed Sonatherapist.
I look forward to hearing from you, if interested.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gary Robert Buchanan

“To let oneself go, be quiet, receptive, appears to be the condition under which such contact with the Cosmic Life may be obtained. ‘I have noticed that when one paints one should think of nothing: everything then comes better,’ says the young Raphael to Leonardo da Vinci. The superficial self must here acknowledge its own insufficiency, must become the humble servant of a more profound and vital consciousness. The mystics are of the same opinion. ‘Let the will quietly and wisely understand,’ says St. Teresa, ‘that it is not by dint of labor on our part that we can converse to any good purpose with God.’ ‘The best and noblest way in which thou mayst come into this life,’ says Eckhart, ‘is by keeping silent and letting God work and speak.’” ~Evelyn Underhill
Most experts will tell you that one of the biggest difficulties in communicating with others is that we simply don’t listen. We listen only in a very superficial way when someone else is speaking while our minds are occupied with deciding what we are going to say next, or something else about ourselves. We don’t really want to know what the other person has to say, we want to know how it can benefit us. We always put ourselves at the center of everything.

A memorial for William “Bud” Henry Tell Sutter Jr. , father of a friend of the Church, was held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, November 14, 2015 at the Chapel of the Holy Child. A reception was held in the vestibule of the chancellery following the service. This was a private service for family and friends of the departed. The Service was officiated by the Right Reverends Sean Savoy and Gene Savoy Jr.
Gregory Stephen Klinedinst and Stanley Lee Waltemeyer were wed in the Chapel of the Holy Child on Saturday, August 8, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. in the company of close friends.

The ceremony was performed by the Right Reverend Sean Savoy with Right Reverend Gene Savoy Jr. delivering the Nuptial Blessing. The Reverends Robert and Francine Petrovich acted as witnesses. A private reception followed.

The event was both momentous and historic. Momentous because after 35 years of living together as a couple, Greg and Stan were able to marry formally and with all the benefits and responsibilities of marriage. Historic because the wedding ceremony was the first same-sex marriage to be performed in the Chapel of the Holy Child.
Rev. Sean Savoy took a few moments to explain the special nature of the event before performing the ceremony, beginning with a citation of statements made recently on the right of same-sex marriage by Anthony Kennedy, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America:
“The right to marry is fundamental as a matter of history and tradition, but rights come not from ancient sources alone. They rise, too, from a better informed understanding of how constitutional imperatives define a liberty that remains urgent in our own era.”
And on the plight of individuals who are part of same-sex couples:
“Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.”
Rev. Savoy continued by introducing and then citing statements made by retired federal judge Vaughn Walker, on the legalization of same-sex marriage in the state of California:
“Marriage is the . . . recognition and approval of a couple’s choice to live with each other, to remain committed to one another and to form a household based on their own feelings about one another and to join in an economic partnership and support one another and any dependents. . . .
The right to marry has been historically and remains the right to choose a spouse and, with mutual consent, join together and form a household. Race and gender restrictions shaped marriage during eras of race and gender inequality, but such restrictions were never part of the historical core of the institution of marriage. Today, gender is not relevant to the state in determining spouses’ obligations to each other and to their dependents. Relative gender composition aside, same-sex couples are situated identically to opposite-sex couples in terms of their ability to perform the rights and obligations of marriage under . . . law. Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage; marriage under law is a union of equals. . . .
They seek the mutual obligation and honor that attend marriage . . . seek recognition from the state that their union is ‘a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred.’”

“Ruysbroeck’s universe, like that of Kabir and certain other great mystics, has three orders: Becoming, Being, God. Parallel with this, he distinguishes three great stages in the soul’s achievement of complete reality: the Active, the Interior, and the Superessential Life, sometimes symbolized by the conditions of servant, friend, and Son of God. These, however, must be regarded rather as divisions made for convenience of description, … The spiritual life has the true character of duration; it is one indivisible tendency and movement towards our source and home, in which the past is never left behind, but incorporated in the larger present.” ~Evelyn Underhill
Ms. Underhill is correct in saying that Ruysbroeck’s method of dividing spiritual growth into three stages is only an approximation. Spiritual growth happens in many small steps much like any other type of growth. But just as it is convenient in our public schools to divide students into various grades depending on how much they have learned or at least how much they have been taught, it is also convenient to divide the path of spiritual growth into stages.

Church of New Epiphany “before” PHOTO: Jim Elliott
The upper slate floor of the Church of New Epiphany had been weathered for decades and was in a state of much needed repair when Reno resident Community member Jim Elliott took it upon himself to find a way to repair it.
Many slabs were missing or loose and the mortar decayed. Jim started the repair early Monday, August 24th and continued through to Thursday, September 3rd. The next day, the Sanctuary fire truck was brought up to the front drive of the church for final cleanup and loose sand and dust were sprayed away to complete the job.
Twenty 60-pound bags of mortar mix was used to do the grouting between stones. Sealing took place approximately two weeks later on the 20th of September. It is expected that the entire floor will require minor maintenance yearly due to the extent of previous decay.
The first Sunrise Service of the season was held at the Church of New Epiphany on Sunday, September 6th, before Convocation.
