The Cosmic Song as a Pathway to Peace

Sometimes we nail it on the first try.  Such was the case in 1955 when Sy Miller and Jill Jackson wrote their much-beloved song, “Let There Be Peace On Earth.”  Within one short set of lyrics, they identified a profound universal truth: that peace on earth is possible only to the extent to which we each feel peace

Healing and Helping the Homeless

January 23, 2019

The Red Bank Study Group in New Jersey was looking for various ways to include service in their program. After viewing the instructional video of the healing ritual, it was decided to perform the healing ritual two times a month. Transcripts of the ritual were sent to the group leader and the ritual is now a regular part of their meetings.

Feedback about the ritual was very positive. After performing it, members have mentioned how much more relaxed they feel. While healing is sent to those on the healing list, energy is also sent to the planet and all sentient creatures that inhabit it, including those of us who do the ritual. If your study group, branch or lodge is interested in starting a healing group, please let us know. Information can be obtained at info@theoservice.org. [node:read-more:link]

One of the greatest challenges we have today on the planet is humankind’s inability to understand the need for relationship. [node:read-more:link]

Good Wishes and Housekeeping

January 23, 2019

I would like to wish everyone a joyful new year. From the photo, you can see that a few of us from the US were in India over the holidays attending the international convention. As always, the international convention is like a family reunion. (Not too different from our national summer convention at Olcott!) It was wonderful to spend some time with TOS International Secretary Nancy Secrest who is now living in Adyar working as international treasurer. Kathy Gann, who is standing next to Nancy, visited Adyar and India for the first time as did Christopher Dixon, TSA’s chief of staff. [node:read-more:link]
