Well for those who may be interested I just returned from attending a Conference in Japan hosted by Yukinori Matsushita of the Cosolargy Community of Japan. The Conference included three morning Sunrise services to be held on the shore of Lake Biwa, largest freshwater lake in Japan, just northeast of Kyoto in the Shiga Prefecture. We had been asked to perform these Sunrise Services at Lake Biwa to cleanse the lake as it had become very polluted. Of course, as mystics, we include the whole world in our appeals to God through the Spiritual Sun.

Our three Sunrise Services included members from our Solar community in Japan, members from our community from Reno, Nevada, new students from different countries of the world.

Also attending this first morning service were two Japanese professional cyclists who would take our Sunrise Service Blessings with them as they cycled around the lake, one cyclist heading in an easterly direction and the other cyclist headed in a westerly direction meeting up 24 hours later at the south end of the lake, crossing paths and continuing on their journey to meet up with us on the third day Sunrise Service.
Japan was also represented by a Shinto Priest who chanted Prayers and a Shinto Priestess (Yuka Bouuchi) using dance and movement as her prayers to the Spiritual Sun. Her prayer was one of the most beautiful expressions of prayer, in form, that I had ever seen.
We also had with us bottled water from our Sacred Sanctuary north of Reno, which we brought to pour into Lake Biwa during the Sunrise Service.

The first Sunrise Service touched everyone in a beautiful way as the clouds seemed to be on fire with the light of the Sun. Prayers were conducted by Rev.Gene Savoy, Rev. Sean Savoy, and Rev.Yukinori Matsushita. Everyone joined in the chants. Gary Buchanan provided live music with piano and spiritually-themed music bridging our eastern and western cultures. There was a moment of oneness with the Light that streamed through the clouds.

The two cyclists were then Blessed and they departed, each their separate way, to circumvent Lake Biwa over the next forty eight hours. And we then began our two day Conference.
The following morning we again all gathered for our second Sunrise Service. The two cyclists were at the other end of the lake about forty miles away, although they had to cycle 75 miles to get there because of the nature of the shoreline. We began our service with all the beauty of the Sunrise the day before, but today was meant to be special.
Clouds had formed, but as the service progressed the clouds melted away and then the most beautiful rainbow circled the sun in a most magnificent way, and we felt at that moment that our prayers had been accepted. The cyclists at the other end of the lake also experienced this beautiful manifestation of God’s Grace. Little did we know that later that day on the evening news in Japan, the Rainbow Blessing was experienced and seen all over Japan, from north to south.
It was said on the television news that something of this nature, a perfect rainbow around the sun, had never been seen before in every corner of Japan at one time. Needless to say the second day of our conference was full of positive energy.
Our third Sunrise Service was also very beautiful and many members saw and experienced many beautiful manifestations in the Sun as in our first two Sunrise Services.
The two cyclists arrived to join us at this Service on the third day as planned. A most beautiful group of people joined together for one purpose, to bring God’s Love down to earth, that we, again, may have the opportunity to evolve into the Higher Realms of Light.
I include some photos from the three Sunrises taken by myself, Robert Roy, and Dr. Stephan Fuelling, and the photo of the rainbow around the sun was taken by Syotaro Hagihara. The photo of the newscaster describing the phenomena of the Solar Rainbow on the evening news as it was seen all over Japan was also taken by Syotaro Hagihara.
