Video Seminar Overwhelmingly Welcomed at an Oregon Jail

[Portland] Recently, fellow practitioners from the Oregon Center received a touching letter from an inmate at Portland's Clackamas County Jail that was then forwarded to the Jail authorities. Upon reading the letter, the officials agreed to work on a schedule of regular visits to the facility by the initiates. After several months' wait, the Oregon brothers and sisters were finally able to visit the Jail and present Master's video lectures to the inmates in September 2002. Since then they have been allowed to continue visiting the facility to show Master's video lectures and teach the Convenient Method on the second Saturday of each month.

The first seminar consisted of three one-hour video sessions, two for male inmates and one for female inmates. As soon as the initiates began playing Master's tapes, the audience members could feel Master's omnipresence and blessings, instantly making the atmosphere peaceful and relaxing. At the end of the seminar, one of the brothers explained that only those interested in learning the Convenient Method needed to stay. Surprisingly, most of the inmates stayed and learned the Convenient Method!

After the Convenient Method meditation session, one female inmate was very excited with her inner experiences, but due to the fact that she was not allowed to discuss them in public, she walked over to one brother to shake his hand again and again and thanked God for what she had just experienced. Also, some friendly Christian male inmates came to our brothers to express their touching gratitude for the experiences they had received. They felt the realization of Truth and Love in Master's teachings, and most enthusiastically asked to watch Master's videos again.

All the disciples involved with the Clackamas County Jail video project felt very blessed to have witnessed the miraculous operation of Master's love in the hearts and minds of all involved.

A Letter Longing for Spirituality
from an Inmate at the Clackamas County Jail

(Originally in English)

Dear Blessed people,

The Master's books and things you sent me have brightened up my life. When I see the Supreme Master's loving face, I smile. I read the Master's books over and over again. I eagerly wait for my initiation.

Even though I am in an eight-by-ten-foot cell, I feel Her Love for humanity. Now that I am on a strict vegetarian diet, my wife has seen the change in me. I want to learn the best form of meditation. Thank you all for your kindness.

With love for your holiness and blessings,
A would-be initiate
