WEEKLY MESSAGE: May 5, 2019

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

 

 

May 5, 2019

Good morning. I write to you today having recently returned from Mexico where I met with members of The Community at our land on the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) and others involved with our project. Soon I will have a comprehensive vision document to share with you. There are also new developments concerning our project in Mexico that we are working on, and when they are more fully fleshed out, I will let you know about them. I expect they will impress you as rather dynamic! In the meantime, know that things are progressing smoothly.

We are planning a Community trip to southern Baja in the latter part of October this year. If you are interested, please let us know ASAP by completing the attached form. It is urgent that we let the hotelier know how many rooms to reserve for us, as they fill up fast!

In other news, I am proud to announce that our new Cosolargy website went live while I was away. I invite you to look at it at www.cosolargy.org. This website replaces the previous Cosolargy site and is still in its initial stages. Our vision to expand the site includes additional information on the Consecrated Sanctuary, inclusion of the Universal Proclamation of Human Spiritual Rights, the importance of our explorations in Peru, and other aspects of our Community.

The company that designed our site thought it was important to create the site with a personal presence, so that is what we have done. We would like to hear from you on what you think about its design and scope because we will be making modifications, updates and additions over the coming weeks and months. Let me know what you like about it and what you think ought to be added our changed. We will take your comments into consideration and share them with the designers.

This new outreach and marketing tool will help us reach out to a wider audience and better present a fuller and more coherent message. It cost $10,000 to create, and we need your help to cover this expense. I have attached a pledge form, so that you can easily make your donation electronically. I encourage you to make your pledge today by filling out the attached form right away. Please. This is very important.

Later this month, I travel for two weeks to Japan where I will be meeting with our Community in Kurume on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan. We will be strategizing on how to grow our presence in Japan and further develop our educational programs through the Jamilian University of the Ordained. Towards the end of the trip, I will be in Tokyo to give a seminar to the public and meet with Ms. Michiko Hayashi, the successor to the late Dr. Masaru Emoto, who heads his IHM Institute.

You may have read Dr. Emoto’s best-selling book, The Hidden Messages in Water, which advanced the concept that water reacts to thoughts, words and intentions – indeed that water is a messenger of consciousness and could be positively affected by prayer and visualization. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend you do.

I gave a lecture some years ago on this topic, which made the point that being primarily made up of water, we, as individuals are positively affected by our Communion of Fellowship service when we bless the bread and the water, pray over them, infuse the natural elements with our positive and healing thought, and ultimately are blessed. Of course, it goes without saying that sunlight effects our water molecules and cells, and this, as you know, is fundamental in the practice of The System.

That is my rambling message for the day. Please do look at the new website. I am interested in your feedback. And I do need you to fill out the pledge form and get it back to us as soon as possible also indicating if you are interested in joining us Mexico in October.

I thank you, as always, for your support – both material and spiritual. Once again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours in Light+,

Gene

WEEKLY MESSAGE: April 24, 2019

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

 

 

April 24, 2019

I hope you enjoyed a pleasant Easter. I write to you today from Mexico, where I am for a few days working on our project in Baja California Sur on the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez).

Today, I would like to concentrate on men and women of two worlds, that is, men and women of Light who exist as holy men and women on Earth but who also reside in worlds of Light while living on Earth. This is Chapter 31 of the Second Prophecy to the Americas:

“And men and women of Light shall exist in two worlds. The one world shall be that of flesh which perishes after a season. And the second world shall be of Light which is eternal and everlasting. And men and women shall learn by means of the Great Teaching how to sit at the table of God and partake of Light. And the Light shall give life to a Body of Light. And the Light comes of God for it is His Body. And man and woman shall rejoice at the great banquet table of the Lord for death shall be overcome.

“And man and woman shall co-exist in two worlds. And they shall be of two forms. One will be the material and the other of Light. And those who partake of Light shall live eternally with God. And those who eat only of matter and flesh shall die, for it is written that ‘those of the flesh are as a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.’ And those who partake of God’s Light shall live, for it is written that ‘the Bread of God is Light come down from Heaven giving life unto the world.’

“And men and women of Light shall overcome the limitations of the material world and of the flesh through the Light given by God. And this is a secret teaching known to all of the Holy Orders of times past but which was ignored by the world. And because of the Light men and women shall live afresh, finding their new nature which is in the Image of God. And the Image of God is Light and the Light thereof is reason which can speak to the Consciousness of Man’s Spirit.

“And once awakened, Man’s Spiritual Consciousness shall commune with God. And by such communion Man shall know and understand God. And God and Man shall walk together. And this is what God intended men and women to do.

“God has sent into the world the Sun of Righteousness as a redeeming Light and through it, He has opened the door to Heaven so that Man may know of the life beyond. He has rained down the Food of Angels which is a heavenly Food fit for immortals. And man and woman may eat of this Divine Food and be redeemed by it. For here is the hidden Manna, spoken of by the Prophets, that is offered to Man by God and which offers eternal life.”

“Teach the mystery to mortals of the world through the Great Teaching so that they may understand, for therein is the secret of immortality.”

Once again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours in Light+,

Gene




You Are Invited to the 2019 Convocation

April 19, 2019

It is with great pleasure that we once again extend to you, and all our members, our special invitation to join in Community for the annual Convocation of the Sacred College, the Academy, and the ministry of the Second Advent Church.

We will meet for this year’s Convocation from Tuesday, September 3rd, through Sunday, September 8th.

This year commemorates the sixtieth year of the Church’s existence since its founding in 1959 — the Church’s Diamond Anniversary — and also the sixtieth anniversary of the birth of The Child Jamil.

We will be celebrating God’s Image and Word by reviving our work on the final volume of The Secret Sayings of Jamil. How might we fulfill our sacred obligation and destiny, which is to teach the True Religion of Light to all the world and to exemplify righteousness, beauty, and love? As Companions of The Way and disciples of The Child, and as members of the Holy Order of The Child, together we will break the seals on the final three unpublished Sayings received years ago by the late Most Right Reverend Gene Savoy Sr. and let our spirits guide us as we provide the words we need to complete the commentary on them, so that the seventh and final volume of The Secret Sayings of Jamil may be completed and published next year.

Combining our efforts on this project will create a force to inspire the world in the knowledge of living The Way and unify us with Divine Intelligence to build the Nation of God. We will have readings and discussion throughout the Convocation week. This special retreat will help bring to all of us a true connection with the fundamental principles of the Church and make a serious impact for generations to come.

Of course, there are many other activities and presentations planned during the week, including excursions, Chapel Services, and Sunrise Divine Services at the Sanctuary.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: April 18, 2019

 

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

 

 

April 18, 2019
Second Advent Easter

Today we observe True Easter according to the Sacred Calendar. We at the Community Center greeted the rising Sun at the Consecrated Sanctuary with our liturgical prayers, sacred music, chants, bells and crystal bowls and received the blessings emanating from out of the Sun of Righteousness. We prayed for peace in the world, for the enlightenment of the human family, and for all our members around the world

It came into my mind, however, that those who ignore the commandments of God given through the Word manifest in His ascendant Sun of Righteousness, which even now transforms the world, are not immune to its effects. It is not a matter of whether people accept the Sun of Righteousness or believe in it. God’s Word comes forth regardless in its almightiness and splendor and everyone should know that His Word is One. This Word, though, is incomprehensible to people of ignorance, impiety, and irreverence to God; and this ignorance, impiety, and profanity – which is ugliness and ungodliness – is resulting in a most harmful mutation of being that is most obvious even to the casual observer.

No one on Earth under the Light of this New Sun will benefit from wrongdoing and materialistic ends any longer. As mentioned last week, some judge God and say that if Evil and Darkness exist then Evil and Darkness must be equal to God. This is not true, of course. But although Darkness and Evil do indeed exist, it is only because of Man’s continued wrongdoing, error, and the breaking of God’s laws.

As the Cross of Enlightenment has come to enlighten godly and goodly men and women, those of ungodliness are, in effect, maddened by that Light, for those who embrace Darkness will incur much suffering and illness of mind and Spirit. It is written in our Sacred Scripture that the Earth shall be burned up by the Light of God’s New Sun, and men and women of Evil and Darkness shall also be burned up by that light and judged for their wicked acts, while those of goodness shall receive the Light as a blessing.

Our Prophecies, therefore, are given to the Children of the Earth for the purpose of informing them beforehand of the effects and the events prophesied to come, so that all may choose accordingly; for it is our Teaching that God would not that anyone suffer. God sends forth His Divine Light to judge the ungodly for the sake of the godly who have long suffered at their hands. In due time, the days of injustice will come to an end and God’s Sun of Justice will reign supreme.

I wish you a most blessed Easter.

Once again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours in Light+,

Gene
