So it was a lovely gift for me to compile some of the things he has shared over the years about living love. J-R, as many call him, founded the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA) as a physical support for the spiritual work he does, but his work is much greater than any organization. It is Soul Transcendence, assisting people in awakening to the Soul, the divine part in each of us, and then going beyond that into God. The spiritual consciousness that J-R works through is called the Mystical Traveler, and he has said that “its nature is love, joy, and upliftment. It brings health, wealth, and happiness on the physical level, calm to vii the emotional level, peace to the mental level, ability to the unconscious level, and the fulfillment of all the dreams to the spiritual level.” This consciousness has always been held, or “anchored,” by someone on the planet, and J-R has been doing this since 1963. In 1988, John Morton started being more active as the Mystical Traveler and serves as MSIA’s spiritual director. J-R has continued his spiritual work as usual, including participating with MSIA. The Traveler Consciousness is also within each person, J-R teaches, and it is the spiritual energy assisting people in becoming aware of themselves as Soul. For me, the most important thing about J-R is his steadfast and all-embracing love—for me, for others, for everything. We hope that this book conveys some of the sweetness of that loving and that it touches the loving in you, the loving that is of God. Betsy Alexander viii
