Prayer Healing Request
This experience is for anyone who feels they would like prayer or healing support. We are a group of people who attune to Spirit using the 7 Terrace method. We are given names of people who have requested prayers through the Fellowship Center, and we pray for them. Everything we pray about is confidential. If you have a prayer request for yourself or another, please contact the Fellowship Center.
The Mystery School Journal Zoom Group
When Paul Solomon still walked among us, he taught a wonderful course that he called Inner Light Consciousness. This course described several tools that could be used for spiritual growth and character development. One of these was a seven-part journal that he called The Journal Of the Mystery Schools, a journal that students could use to process their dreams, meditations, and life lessons, and to see how these things interacted. He taught a basic version of this journal for many years, and shortly before he passed he expanded it and produced a longer and more detailed version of it.
A study group that we are calling the Mystery School Journal Zoom Group currently meets by Zoom once a month to discuss how to best use this expanded version of the Mystery School Journal and to share how we are applying it in our lives.
While this is a closed group since the group has been meeting since early 2020, if you are interested in being part of a new Zoom study group, [email protected]
Prayer Healing Group
We would like to offer you the opportunity to join our prayer healing experience using Zoom online on Thursdays at 3:00 PM ET. We hold the promise that wherever two or more are gathered together in Jesus’ name, there will He be in the midst of us. This is the energy that we would love to share with you. If you are interested in participating in the Prayer-Healing experience, contact us at [email protected] and you will be emailed an invitation to join us on Zoom.

Jan 30 Jill Allbrandt – Accessing the Akashic Records
Feb 6 Pegi Robinson – Her NDEs (near death experiences)
March 6 Claudia Edge – Her NDE (near death experience)
Claudia Edge, an NDEr, presented at the After-Church Exploration Series on Sunday, March 6.
Claudia Edge shared her profound NDE which occurred in 1984 when she and her baby daughter died together, and she will tell how it changed her life. She has researched NDEs and Spiritual Phenomenon for over 40 years since then, and over that time she has received many stories and parables during lucid dreaming. She shared some of those stories and parables.
Claudia has written three award-winning books including GIFTS FROM THE EDGE, a continuing series of nightly dream/ experiences in a place she lovingly calls SPIRIT SCHOOL. There, accompanied by her Spirit Guide, she was patiently given connecting pieces of the spiritual puzzle to be shared with the world through parables and short stories. Claudia has been called a modern-day mystic with an ability to pull back the curtain between this world and the beyond. Her recently released third book, WE TOUCHED HEAVEN, is a global collection of transformational spiritual experiences from 47 individuals.
March 20 Brian Berry
“Learn from the hearts of the needy”
I said to the old ILC Guide, “. . . Expect if you make this prayer that they will come through that door. So too will come those prepared to seek wisdom, not in books, but in the hearts of the needy. You will have students then. They will not trust you because of your elegant speech or your command of techniques. They will trust you when they see you stand before the raging devil just before he quits the body and the light fills it.”
That quote is from the final reading in my book. It makes an important point: we who come here and keep coming are in a Mystery School, but even though we can talk intelligently about Tarot, Astrology, etc, the real learning text is what is written in the hearts of the needy. We serve, yes, but we also learn, and we learn as fast as we can stand it.
Rosemary Thornton, NDEr (near-death experiencer) and author, was our ACES speaker on 17 April. She shared the story of what happened to her when she died. The best part is when she sensed a Presence with her, and she asked, “And who are you?” The Presence answered, “You are the likeness and image; I am the Original.” She told how she was miraculously healed according to the angel’s word after she chose to return to her physical body. Her healings included cancer. Her talk is now on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jahYc_F83JU

How to Participate in World Labyrinth Day “Magic” with Meryl Ann Butler
ACES (After Church Exploration Series)
Sunday May 1, 2022, 12:30 – 1:30 pm
World Labyrinth Day is Saturday May 7, 2022. Participants around the world connect with each other as they walk full-sized or finger labyrinths from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm LOCAL time, creating a rolling wave of energy surrounding the earth.
Meryl Ann Butler presented a slide workshop on how you can participate, and how that will benefit you.
The American Cancer Society states that walking labyrinths “may be helpful as a complementary method to decrease stress and create a state of relaxation.”
Research conducted by Dr. Herbert Benson at Harvard Medical School’s Mind/Body Medical Institute has found that focused walking meditations are highly effective at reducing anxiety and eliciting what Dr. Benson refers to as the relaxation response, which can:
Lower blood pressure
Lower breathing rates
Reduce incidents of chronic pain
Reduce insomnia
In addition, using your non-dominant hand to walk a finger labyrinth can help create new neural pathways in the brain which enhances well-being and longevity. Meryl Ann’s program has been uploaded onto our YouTube channel.
May 15 – Claire Daugherty. She talked about her life as a psychic. Ms. Daugherty has spoken in over 30 international venues since 2017 on her work with angels. She’s facilitated workshops in the US, the Caribbean, Scandinavia, the UK and Ireland as well as both Eastern and Western Europe.
