Reverend Canon Gary Buchanan will be in Sofia, Bulgaria October 6-9, 2016 to speak at the 11th Annual Water Conference. He will be speaking along with Dr. Gerald Pollack, an old colleague of his who has gained fame in recent years for his theory of fourth-phase water, and who is chairing the conference, and along with several Nobel Prize laureates. Rev. Buchanan’s work on Sonatherapy and his use of water to form archetypal cymagraphs made him a candidate for speaking at this prestigious international conference. In fact, his cymagraphs have gained so much interest that the conference organizers are using his cymagraphs on their Facebook page and throughout their newsletter.

Cover of the new book “Here Comes the Sun” by Academy Consociate Paul Vernon

Academy Consociate Paul Vernon has just completed his second full-length book Here Comes the Sun. The book is available for sale in ebook and kindle format on the Smashwords web site, where you can read more about the new book and read a 6000-word sample for free.

Visit the Here Comes the Sun page at Smashwords.com to buy a copy or read a sample.

Here is how he introduces his new 40,000-word volume:

“It is time to see the Sun in a new light and elicit its secrets. Today there is resurgence in the practice of Sun-gazing, along with the therapeutic use of Sunlight and colour. While the Sun’s benefits in providing vitamin D and aiding in the healing of depression have been known for some time, there are new revelations in 2016 that it prevents myopia and slows its advance. It is less well known that human biology reacts in a very direct way to the rotations of our star. A number of prominent doctors have come out to publicly endorse the absorption of Sunlight in the human eye and skin, using common sense to avoid over exposure.

“In the scientific field during 2016 researchers are making new discoveries about the ways our planet is intimately connected to the Sun by invisible strings, and the real impact it has on our weather patterns and climate change. Quantum physics shows there may be corresponding connections on a different dimensional level that result in wormhole-type tunnels that bridge our earth to the Sun and beyond.

“Historically the star of our solar system has been honoured by the construction of megaliths such as Stonehenge and Glastonbury in England, Nabta Playa in Egypt and the Temple of the Sun in Mexico. Now alternative researchers believe there is evidence that solar power was harnessed and distributed in structures such as the pyramids and that giant obelisks such as the one at Abu Gurab were actually electrical transmitters. The concept and application of this fits perfectly with the theories of the 20th century genius Nikola Tesla. Great leaders in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome were guided by mystical activities based on what may be called the solar sciences, and their traditions survive today within certain secretive societies.

“Authors such as James Redfield have suggested that the human body may be destined to evolve into what is known as a light body, and this is now supported by scientific research into matter being constructed of photons. Along with modern technology’s steps towards transhumanism and artificial intelligence, we are witnessing the emergence of a new breed of humans referred to as Indigo children and the Super Psychic kids. Modern day organizations such as Cosolargy suggest that the transmutation can be accomplished by the intake of the Sun’s rays. [emphasis added]

“Spirituality has a role to play in our reconnection with the sun and the technique of ‘Incubation’ as practised by the ancients, called the Way of the Iatromantis, provides an avenue in the pursuit of activating our light bodies and making the next evolutionary step. In rethinking our relationship with the Sun, we see a way forward into a future filled with light.”

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:

As a special gift for this time of year, the Church has sent out to all active Community members the Community Calendar for 2016.

For practical purposes, the calendar follows the traditional monthly format beginning with January, but it contains all the significant dates of The Community’s Sacred Calendar, which begins on February 2nd (refer to Jamil: Child of Light, chapter 27).

In addition to dates for liturgical observance or remembrance, the moon phases for the year are also included. In relation to these moon phases are indicated days to view sunrise or sunset according to the important Lunar/Solar Cycles Generative Technique familiar to Cosolargists who have advanced through The Cosolargy Papers.

Once again, thanks go to Deacon Dr. Stephan Fuelling for compiling and designing the calendar in consultation with the Publishing, Editing and Liturgical departments and with Bishop Gene. Thanks also go to the Reverend Ben Hubbard, who prints the calendar using our printing system at our production facilities located at the Steamboat Hot Springs.

A suggested donation of $20.00 by active Community members would be greatly appreciated to help defray costs for producing the calendar. Corresponding members may contact the Church offices to request a calendar for the same suggested donation.

Meet a few sides of minister, composer and musician, explorer, sonatherapy researcher and therapist Gary Buchanan on his new web site.

There you will be able to

• link to online videos of compositions and performances, watch Sonatherapy videos online,
• read his biography as minister and Community member and find links to some of his spiritual writings,
• and read his biography as an explorer and learn more about the Andean Explorers expeditions he took part in and about the Andean Explorer videos he composed music for.

If you have the dream to make a meaningful visit to mystical India, an amazing opportunity is available. But it is still in the very early planning stages. In fact, the trip cannot be scheduled until there is enough interest from people to participate.

So if you are interested, send an email to info@cosolargy.org right away. The decision to finalize the India journey must be made by August 31.

Costs and itinerary will be developed once interest is shown. But typically, expenses in India are minimal compared to many other countries. Even flights to India are reasonable.

10 to 20 people need to join the tour group for the journey to be guaranteed to take place. Tour members do not need to be members of The Community, so feel free to send a copy of the flyer to your personal mailing list.

< Download flyer here. >

The tour is of spiritual interest as you will see by the flyer attached. Help make this a reality for February 2016!

First Parliament of the World’s Religions held in Chicago 1893

Bishop Gene Savoy Jr. has been invited to be part of the 2015 Parliament of the World’s Religions to be held October 15-19, 20125 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The theme of the 2015 Parliament is Reclaiming the Heart of Our Humanity: Working Tgether for a World of Compassion, Peace, Justice, and Sustainability. The discussion at the Parliament in 2015 will focus on climate change, violence, and wasteful consumption.

Bishop Gene has been invited to speak on the topic “Pathways to Peace: Different Perspectives” as part of the panel organized by Balwant S. Hansra, a Sikh leader and a former member of the Parliament Board. The invitation to speak was accepted by Bishop Gene with these words: “Yes, of course I am very interested in being on your panel. My religion (which is not restricted to Christianity) has a very unique perspective on what the path to peace is. We teach a very specialized practice using natural and cosmic energies by which any individual, regardless of culture, race or tradition may employ. By so doing, the individual harmonizes him/herself with natural and supranatural energies of the universe. In this way, that person becomes an awakened spiritual Being on Earth, as well as in Heaven. I would very much like to discuss this within the guidelines you lay out.”

The guiding principles of the Parliament of the World’s Religions are respectful dialogue, non-proselytizing, and willingness to explore a wide variety of topics.

The 2015 Cosolargy Conference and Tour, which will be held in Kyoto, Japan from May 22 – 28 is taking shape.

In addition to the conference and associated workshops, there will be a tour of Kyoto – Japan’s ancient capital and one of its most beautiful cities. Kyoto is known for its beautiful Zen gardens, its wonderful cuisine, and is home to one of the most impressive Zen Buddhist temples, the Golden Pavilion.

There will also be a visit Mount Koya, the seat of Kobo-Daishi’s esoteric school of Shingon (True Word) Buddhism where a replica of the so-called Nestorian Monument stands. There, the tour group will lodge overnight in a Buddhist monastery, which promises to be a very interesting and unique experience.

Please call our offices if you have any interest in attending this special event in the Land of the Rising Sun.
