The 2013 Annual Convocation of the International Community of Cosolargy and the Annual Conference on the Spiritual State of the World started, as usual, with the registration and greeting of new students and Consociates scheduled to take residence training. All met on Monday October 1 at 8:30 a.m. at the Chancellery. Monday and Tuesday were dedicated to training in Color and Sacred Imagery.

In a departure from recent past Convocations, the plenary sessions began Wednesday morning October 3 with a Sunrise Divine Service held at the Red Rock Consecrated Sanctuary’s Church of New Epiphany. The service was followed with a fellowship breakfast at the Sanctuary Chapterhouse.

On Wednesday afternoon, all Consociates met at the Chancellery for official registration and orientation and a General Assembly. The latter featured a report by Head Bishop Gene Savoy Jr. on The Community’s efforts over the past year, including winning an important concession from the State of Nevada regarding water rights at Red Rock Consecrated Sanctuary and a $68,000 grant to develop solar power production at Steamboat Hotsprings Healing Center and Priory.

The Bishop then turned over the presentation to Carol Vickers and Liz Christoffersen of Empower Consulting Group. Ms. Vickers and Christoffersen have been consulting with The Community on outreach and development strategies for the past year and a half.

They explained their work with The Community over that time, which has culminated so far in the production of an online introductory course on Cosolargy. The course will provide some history of American solar cultures as well as a few introductory techniques for working with the divine energies now coming through the sun. The course’s launch date is expected to be this fall.

On Thursday morning, Convocation attendees met at the Chancellery and then caravaned up to Lake Tahoe to the Episcopal Church ‘s Camp Galilee. In a conference hall overlooking the blue waters of the lake, Dr. Gary Buchanan delivered a talk on solar culture among the North American native tribes, including those in the area around Lake Tahoe, which has always been a sacred site among the natives.

Dr. Buchanan’s illuminating lecture was followed by an entertaining presentation by local tour guide, historian, and lecturer Joseph Galata. Mr. Galata regaled his listeners with stories of local historical events and humorous anecdotes.

Attendees were then served a wonderful lunch by camp volunteers in the camp refectory. All food was locally grown and organic and the service was warm and welcoming.

After lunch another brief presentation by Mr. Galata was given in the camp chapel, with its large picture window looking out onto the lake. After that, the attendees again caravaned down the mountain, through the Nevada capital of Carson City and up another mountain to the historic mining town of Virginia City. Once the most prominent town in Nevada during the mining of the famed Comstock Lode silver mine, it is now a popular tourist attraction, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors. After a brief account by Mr. Galata of some local lore in front of the oldest church in Nevada, St. Mary’s Catholic Church, attendees were free to roam around the gift shops and famed saloons of Virginia City before being shuttled down the mountain to nearby Steamboat Hot Springs Spa and Healing Center, which is owned and operated by the ICC.

In the Center’s conference/classroom after a wine and cheese reception, attendees were given a historical account of Steamboat Hot Springs and its healing waters, spas, hotels, and athletic training facilities that have come and gone over the decades since the Civil War by ICC canon and Steamboat Priory resident Rebecca Willis. The very enjoyable day came to a close with tours of the spa and healing center and relaxing soaks in the famous waters for those who wished them, before being returned to their hotel.

Friday began with a Community Communion Service at the Chapel of the Holy Child in downtown Reno. This service is usually conducted on Saturday mornings but was rescheduled this week due to the Conference on the Spiritual State of the World on Saturday (see below).

After the service and a break for refreshments in the chapel vestibule, the Consociates reconvened in chapel for three ordinations of Consociates by Bishop Gene Savoy. Receiving first-level ordination into The Community were Japanese Consociates Shoko Taketomi and Nami Aiki, followed by the third-level ordination of the Reverend Deacon Robert Anderson to the Order of Presbyter.

Following the ordinations Bishop Savoy delivered the Clergy Counsels lecture to the assembly in the Chapel of the Holy Child.

His talk included some considered changes in the externals of The Church to bring it more in line with its unique role as a universal religion; e.g., a change in clerical garb. The Assembly of Cosolargy then voted to accept and proceed with the direction in which The Community is heading as reported by the Bishop.

Following the Counsels lecture was another residence training session on liturgical practice for those who had not yet had this training.

Friday evening saw the inauguration of the Annual State of the World Conference with a welcome reception and buffet at the Rectory-Abbey on Carmel (the Bishop’s residence). Conference speakers and attendees were invited. The buffet was prepared and presented by the Rev. Francine Petrovich and her kitchen crew and was, as always, a culinary delight.

Saturday morning all met at a conference hall at the University of Nevada–Reno’s Joe Crowley Student Union for presentations by the featured speakers at the Annual Conference on the Spiritual State of the World, titled “Awaken Your Light.” Speakers, including Dr. James Oschmann, Dr. Karl Maret, Dr. Stephan Fuelling, Dr. Gary Buchanan, Yukinori Matsushita, Robert Roy, Sean Savoy, and Jim Eaglesmith, presented from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. with a lunch break, ending the day’s activities with a roundtable discussion with questions and answers from the audience for the speakers.

In the afternoon all conference attendees and presenters were invited to attend the annual Open House at Steamboat Hot Springs Spa and Healing Center, which included a health expo, exhibit and food booths, and, of course, demonstrations of the many healing modalities offered at Steamboat.

Many favorable comments on this year’s Convocation have been received, and it is The Community’s fervent hope that all Consociates will make it a priority to attend future such assemblies, as the blessings are bountiful. See you next fall in Reno!

“Church of New Epiphany Renovated”

The time has come to give the Church of New epiphany a face lift. For the past couple of years Community members in Reno have voiced their concern over the condition of the Church, particularly the crumbling concrete steps during the winter when they are covered in snow. A person could easily slip off of them because, well, they were falling apart.

I recall last year a guest was invited to a Sunday Sunrise Church Service. After the service, when she went up to the chancel area to greet the Bishop, she remarked how interesting it was that we were able “to make the Church appear to be an ancient ruin”! Well, I think that was the clincher for me. Something had to be done.

Last summer Barbara Whitney offered to donate $800 dollars to buy the paint and stain to give the Church a fresh look, which we did. It came out looking so good that when you approached the Church, all of your attention was drawn to the broken down steps. Then Robert Roy spoke up and said, “It can’t cost that much to repair the steps. I’ll pay for half the cost.”

The very next day I got on the phone, calling local contractors for bids. It turns out the contractor he picked was the same contractor that had laid the concrete pads for the steel sheds at the Sanctuary. The contractor came out to the Sanctuary at the job site, and we discussed the possibilities for improvements based on costs.

We chose to shorten the second tier of steps and to put in a wall between them because it was less expensive and, as the photo shows, it looks really nice. The bid for the project was $8.600.00 dollars and we were able to shave 2,000.00 dollars off of that by removing the old stairs with our own Church people. Two Sunday work crews later, the site was prepped for the contractor to come in and do his thing. That took four days. Between time, we removed all the old gray gravel that was used to cover the landings between the steps and replaced it with a nicer looking gold-colored paving gravel that matches the color of the church walls.

All totaled, the project took about seven weeks to complete. I’d like to thank all the men who came out on Sundays to help take down the stairs. It was hard work. And special thanks to Micheal Mcintyre for his patience: We had to paint the church twice and Mike was instrumental in making that happen.

This year marked the 28th annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Eve Service. The performance of this interfaith service is a much-revered tradition in the Northern Nevada community and one that is largely unique nationwide in its scope of faith diversity.

This year’s service, titled “Give Thanks in Every Moment,” was held on Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at 7 p.m. It was hosted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Reno Nevada Stake at 1095 Golconda Drive. Washoe County Schools Superintendent Pedro Martinez delivered the keynote address. Monetary donations gathered were given to Volunteers of America Family Shelter, who also took part in this year’s program. Food donations were given to Restart Food Pantry.

This worship service of prayers, readings and music from a variety of faith traditions was sponsored by The Nevada Clergy Association, of which Bishop Gene Savoy Jr. is president. Bishop Savoy planned the event and also gave the closing prayer: the “Thanksgiving Hymn” from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Reverends Gary Buchanan and Michael McIntyre, both members of the Second Advent Church, participated in the program as members of the chime choir in conjunction with the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd.

Also in attendance from the Second Advent Church were the Reverends Sean Savoy, Amanda Buchanan, Elizabeth Reece, Robert Petrovich, Francine Petrovich, and Barbara Whitney.

“PATH TO LIGHT: Robert Roy”

Thoughts presented at University of Reno, Nevada, 2013 Conference on the Spiritual State of the World, “Awakening Your Light.”

How does one sum up a lifetime of learning in 10 minutes? It’s not really possible. I have read many books by many great authors, visited and experienced the minds of many knowledgeable teachers in over sixty countries and found their spiritual knowledge to be severely lacking in great spiritual truth and, at times, even somewhat boring—like tasting sixty different types of vanilla ice cream and realizing that there must be more than vanilla out there.

Now I make that statement as a student of life and the humble son of Doreen Roy, a woman of simple birth in the land of New Brunswick, Canada, who brought nine children into the world and still had time to heal many around her. What she had, different from most people, was, I would call, a knowing. She was our mother, our teacher, our healer, as we never went to doctors. She preferred using herbs from her garden to keep our health perfect along with the most gentle love a mother could give. She never had ambitions to write about this gift that she was blessed with, never wanted to teach, instead she put this gift to work every day helping others—with childbirth or with sick children, in a way we call holistic healing today. Our religious background was Roman Catholic, and at the enlightened age of six, I told my parents that I would no longer attend Sunday Mass at our church, and when asked why, I told them simply that God was not there.

After I left home and started my world travels at the age of nineteen, I spent the next twenty years trying to understand this gift my mother had. It was not psychic ability or a mental attribute but best described after all these years as, simply, a Blessing. My travels at one point landed me in Europe with a family of my own still trying to unravel the secrets of what is Spiritual and how to experience perfect health without effort. Fate brought me a magazine with an interesting story of a Community of Mystics in Reno, Nevada, who were bringing forth new teachings using an ancient system. I ordered three of their books, and they arrived just before my departure for India.

The books were fascinating, I had never encountered or experienced information of this nature, along with techniques that were truly new to this world of ours. I spent three months in India, which gave me ample time to experience this new system and apply the techniques outlined in the study portion of the books. By the time I returned home to Europe something had changed inside me; I looked at the world around me in a different way.

I started my correspondence studies with the International Community of Cosolargy with the knowledge that my destiny was with this school and these new teachings. Within two years I was on my way to Reno and a new life. My first meeting with the Man who was to be my Teacher for the next twenty-seven years was a very powerful moment indeed. My mother’s aura came to mind, but this Man’s presence was a millionfold greater in every sense. The knowing, that had been passed from my mother to me, helped me understand that I was in the presence of a true Spiritual Teacher and envoy of God.

My spiritual studies started along with an urge to Heal, as the illnesses I saw around me in society seemed simple to remedy, yet people still suffered from these illnesses due to a lack of knowledge and guidance. With the International Community of Cosolargy I learned that although the body suffers needlessly from illness, the cause is situated deeper within consciousness. I followed this cause through the mind into consciousness itself. Now when I speak of consciousness in this context, I do not mean Spiritual Consciousness but more of what in Cosolargy we call 4th-dimensional consciousness—what we know as the psychic realm, a very complicated realm indeed.

Trauma and mental illness seems to affect this psychic consciousness by impression and in time will, by gifting an elevated psychic level to the individual, steer the person into a belief system based on the original experience of the trauma or mental illness. For example, if a person is religious and has a strong belief in the Virgin Mary, and this person suffers a difficult trauma, he or she could in time start to experience visions or communications with an illusion of the Virgin Mary, emanating from psychic consciousness, and with an elevated psychic level could even perform minor healings. Quite harmless until other people start to believe that this person actually communicates with the Virgin Mary. These traumas or mental illnesses can come from a near-death experience or from losing a family member or from being in a car accident.

The positive side of psychic consciousness is that it can be trained to work for you in a constructive way. When I started my studies in Reno in 1980 after leaving Europe and my own serious trauma, I had to work hard to retrain my thoughts with positive affirmations; otherwise, I knew that a serious illness would befall me. At that time I thought I was programming my mind, but later on, with study, I learned that I had been influencing my psychic consciousness in a positive way. As an example, one of my daily mantras was simply that “illness does not exist,” and to that effect I have not suffered any type of illness in over thirty years. (Now, of course, some of my friends may argue that I may have left out mental illness in that assessment!)

Now, Spiritual Consciousness, not recognized or understood by the lower psychic or mental consciousness, has not been experienced on this earth since the great masters such as Jesus or Buddha and, more recently, one more Enlightened Being, whom I will touch upon later. Spiritual Consciousness is from a Realm of Light far removed from this physical dimension and absolutely not concerned or interested with us in this lower realm of existence, unless we, through a system of Spiritual Healing, can reach out to this realm of Light and appeal to this Light to Heal us of our false beliefs and attachments to this false reality we live in. The International Community of Cosolargy has been given the means, the Spiritual Formula, if you will, to Heal our false sense of reality. The Community, using an ancient Spiritual technique, can teach students to view and experience the Spiritual Sun, which can open an individual to the incredible power of LOVE, only experienced by great teachers of time past. We are as sleepwalkers bouncing off the dreams of the many around us who continue to amaze and dazzle us with new inventions, new lower forms of healing, or the teachings of this or that guru. I, personally, want to wake up completely from this dreamworld. I seek only the One True God. I want to BE like Jesus; I want to BE like Buddha. I want to see and experience what they experienced. I want to walk through that Cosmic door into a higher, eternal life. I believe this was the message that every enlightened teacher brought to this world and that was only understood by a few.

I would like to leave you with a story concerning the time we are in. Many years ago I had the opportunity to read the books Power vs. Force and The Eye of the I and other material by Dr. David R. Hawkins, an interesting compilation of tests and experiments in Applied Kinesology. Dr. Hawkins had done over a million sessions with Applied Kinesology all over the globe. The sessions that formed the basis of his writings involved working with small groups of people in his office to working with large auditoriums of thousands of people at a time. He devised a method whereby, on a scale of 1 to 1000, he rated historical personages, using Applied Kinesology according to the power of their existence on this earth, or if you will, the impression they manifested while in this dimension. The part of this experiment that caught my eye was his statement that when enlightened people were on Earth the consciousness of society (people living on Earth) was raised by that enlightened person. The greater the person, the greater society benefited. He pointed to Jesus as one who had the greatest effect on society by His Presence. I believe he mentioned a rise of 25 points on his grand scale of 1000 points for society while Jesus was among us. Then he made a statement that I found most interesting. He stated that he had only recorded one other time in the last two thousand years when there was a similar rise in the consciousness of society, and that was in the year 1960. Now he states that he did not know what happened in the world at that time to create this rise in consciousness, but I felt that I knew the answer. We, in The Community believe that a Christ Being was born into this world at that time. This recognition has been the bedrock of our Community since that time. There isn’t time for me to say more on this personage, but there is more on Him in our study material. The Community also has a system of Healing using Color therapy, Sound therapy, and of course the Spiritual techniques relating to the Sun. Enough to fill a lifetime, for anyone, with treasures from a Higher realm of Truth.

Well, this ten minutes is a “blink of an eye” in my life, but I have enjoyed sharing these thoughts with you and thank you for your kind attention, God Bless you all.
