By Calvin Harris H.W., M
It happened a few weeks back, yet every few days I find myself in conversation with someone who wants to know something about where I had gone, what I did, and for what reasons I would leave the desert to go anywhere.
You see I am of an age, that people are surprised when my routine is interrupted or that they haven’t seen me for a few days, or if I appear different in some way the next time, they see me. People seem to want to know “What’s Up”, which usually calls for a description of events and the more salacious the better.
Let me refill my coffee cup and see if I have my thoughts in order to tell you, …what’s that you say? Oh you will have to manufacture your own salaciousness to add to the story, I am not here to do that for you, you all have your own imaginations for goodness’ sake make up your own salacious scenarios.
Well to begin, let me say it was a full somatic sensory experience, beginning with 7am trip, that Thursday morning, to get me on a Train via the Palm Spring Airport to travel over to the Coast, and down to San Diego, California.
Once in San Diego it was a matter of hailing a cab to get me over to Shelter Island, which is a waterfront area in Point Loma, San Diego.
I am dropped off at the lobby entrance to the Island Palms Hotel complex. It is a welcoming Polynesian Tiki facade building reminiscent of Mid-Century Modern architecture. I call this property a ‘Hotel complex’ because there are three separate buildings here, each with unique style. The building which houses the room I will check into has California Mission Revival architecture.
A hotel employee in a golf cart drives me to my building, and upon opening the door I am surprised and delighted to find that my room is in fact not a room but an upgrade suite with a patio. This suite has a view that looked out on to the marina’s side of the island, and its walkway that stretched the length of the marina’s.
Due to several schedule changes, I arrived a day before the event began, and after all the travel on that first day, I am glad I had. This extra day allowed me to balance and recharge myself, giving me time to energize myself for what was to take place in the days to come.
It’s now afternoon, and I am really hungry, I returned to the main lobby building for lunch. The hotel has its restaurant in this main building, with its outdoor patio offering picturesque views of the marina. My sitting on that patio allowed me to survey my surroundings.
I find that Shelter Island is a manmade barrier island that was created by dredging some marshy flats and piling up the mud to make a long skinny “island” that parallels the shoreline of San Diego Harbor. My view from this patio is the backside of the island, that was dredged to contain water and create the marina’s. These marinas are filled with row, upon row of dinghies, small boats, and grand yachts moored on their docks.
You could say that being on Shelter Island was in a way like being in the middle of the waterfront action of the city’s waterways. The “front” side of the island faces San Diego Harbor, with the city skyline, away in the distance, while the sheltered “back” side of the island is filled with the marina crafts.
I returned to my room; put away my clothing; and opened the room to the sea air. I made a cup of herbal tea, and pulled a chair up to the dining table. I spread reports and my talks over the table to review for the upcoming meetings that will take place later that weekend.
I got up, stretched and open up the plantation shuttered windows to a view of people strolling on the path and across to the homes situated on the hill beyond. I enjoyed taking in these sites while eating the rest of my afternoon lunch and watching the sunset. I did a technique called Translation®, then got up, and moved into the bathroom for my evening self-care routes. Then into bed with my friend Lee Hollis book called “My father always finds corpses”, eyes now heavy, it’s light out and the surrender to sleep.
The next day, I awake 7:30 a.m., I get up, and walk the path that skirts the marina, heading to the hotel’s main building, I am enjoying the view of the lush flowering foliage adjacent to pathway. Then my real exercise for the day happens. It’s up the stairs, and then up the ramp, to the Restaurant above, by way of the pool area. Once on the restaurant patio, I am sipping coffee, and thinking to myself… that walk, then the stairs, and then the ramp, well, is just a little more exercise than I care to have…note to self, it is the golf cart from now on.
It now 8 a.m. the morning mist had dissipated, there is the fresh sent of sea air, and the panorama of the marina and blue sky. I found myself chatting with two of the other guests of the hotel, seated at the next table, about the beauty of the morning, a Husband and wife, who are regular seasonal guest at the hotel, and who after they ate, were going to their dinghy, that was anchored in the marina just in front of us.
We talked about how we enjoyed Humphrey’s by the Bay, the Hotel and Concerts space at the entrance to this island. We talked about the Jazz, and Musical performers seen at that venue, they mention seeing even Willey Nelson perform there. They asked me why I was at the Hotel, and I spoke to them about being here for the Prosperos® Assembly; the concept of Ontology; and the Prosperos® School. Our chat covered subjects like consciousness, the power of mind, AI and what is sentient existence.
Afterwards, the couple with a handshake, and a hug, departed for their dinghy and next I saw them, they were heading towards the jetty, and to the ocean beyond. I was acutely aware of the guest around me and in the pool below. From time to time, I’d glance down to the walkway and dock. I watched a seal, or the sandpiper or the pair of seagulls play in the shallow water of the marina below.
A striking man of 50 years old, with a lean muscle build looked up and waved at me, as he was running past with his dog bounding ahead on its leash, when all of a sudden, the pooch abruptly turned and plunged into the water for a quick swim. He emerged quickly, and jumped back onto the path, shaking water off everywhere, the dog looked very happy, and the man looked up again, as we laughed and he and the dog continued down the path.
I finished breakfast and my third cup of coffee and decided to go through to the lobby and request a golf cart take me back to my suite. I waited at the front entrance of the Hotel, that faced the grassy park area in front which extended the length of the island on this harbor side of the island. When just then a Naval Vessel engulfed the view as it passed on its way to sea.
On this island, just a ways beyond the Island Palms property was the Kona Kai Resort, a newer upscale property that boast of its manmade sandy beach, I was fortunate enough one evening to have dinner with Mara Pennell, H.W., M.. at their resort. My impression, other than the Kona Kai being newer, I felt it and the Island Palms both had the same vibe and feel about them, and that I was getting very good value for my dollars, in this older more rustic location.
One other vivid seaside experience that stands out to me, happened that Sunday afternoon during the break in Assembly activities.
A longtime friend Marco James and his partner, whom I have known for over 30 years, since our residence in Laguna Beach, CA. They had come by the hotel to whisk me away for appetizers and drinks. Marco is the owner and a grower of carnivorous and exotic plants in San Diego.
Knowing I was in town for just a short time, he felt he’d take the time to catch up on what we were doing.
They took me to the “C” Level Lounge about a mile or so from the Island Palms Hotel, on what is called the “Waterfront on Harbor Island”, also in Point Loma.
“C” Level was an eating complex, with a high-end restaurant, a relaxed outdoor/indoor Lounge, and a separate large banquet building as part of a duo with Island Prime. Now this Lounge was literally situated on stilts, on this man-made peninsula.
It has sweeping, panoramic views that include the Bay, the downtown San Diego skyline, and Coronado island. There was a slew of water activities in this part of the harbor. While we sipped, munched and talked, I enjoyed seeing a ships, sailboats, and a string of rowing teams go by, and in the distance the San Diego skyline as the sun had the buildings change color with its sunset decent.
All of this was truly a visually sensuous backdrop for the Assembly.
Friday Evening the Prosperos® Assembly began with a Reception, but throughout the day there were chance Meet and Greet’s each as students arrived mingled in the lobby or saw each other on the path to their rooms.
A “Live” Prosperos® Assembly, can present challenges if your goal is to be there. The student, who meets that goal, finds it most rewarding and that they are richer for the experience to connect/reconnect with the teachings and with love ones in deeper ways: to renew or make new friendship; to witness each other’s growth; and to support each other through our stories of challenge and sorrows. To take-in new insights. OR, To feel, as one student remarked, “I am home. “
I had not seen some of the students in more than 3 or 5 or 10 years, yet it felt like yesterday. When in a look, a word, a tone of voice, or a smile, done face to face, can stimulate the action of connections where the past and present merge.
Maureen Malanaphy H.W., a student from Hawaii, who had brought from her home garden, the sacred and versatile Hawaiian Ti leaves. It symbolizes protection, good luck, and purification, and is used in spiritual ceremonies. A Hawaiian Ti leave, she placed on each table, as well as on the podium and lectern. While this was occurring more of the students arrived into the room and you could hear conversations become livelier, and the laughter coming from the belly.
I found, through conversations with some students, new insights as to where they were in their journeys in life. Some sadness or disappointment was felt for those students missing, who were not able to come. Much was shared and exchanged in those few hours.
After that first night event, I get back to my room, and I am settling in for the evening, I took pause to reconsider one or two of the points I took away from my conversations that evening, and that I could cover in my talks in the coming days, to make them more relevant to the students in attendance.
That next morning, Saturday, I am up at 4:49 a.m… up, showered, with a cup of coffee and a half-eaten breakfast bar. I began typing the new points to my presentations that had come to me through last night’s conversations. I found getting up early, gave me a chance to also practice my talk for clarity to be ready with my presentations later that morning. By clarifying and practicing my talk early that morning, it afforded me the chance to take in and not miss out on the other speakers and what they came to present. Affording me the full value of the Assembly experience.
By 9:05 a.m., I had called for a golf cart pick-up and now was headed to the main building. I was sorry that the lift in the lobby was not working, since it meant maneuvering my walker through the pool area, up the inclined ramp to the second-floor restaurant and bar, and then on through to the meeting room beyond. The upside to all that was on my arrival in the meeting room, to my delight, there was coffee and pastries available, that I savored with every bite.
9:48 am the bell rang, and the Assembly began. A warm welcome was given by Mara Pennell H. W., m.
The Assembly began with reports on the yearly activity from the Prosperos® School’s Associations, the Prosperos® active Groups that are found on two Continents and three Countries. To highlight the accomplishments, value, and contributions these teams have made in keeping the School alive and active, while providing value to the Prosperos® Community, in the way of students and staff, to group activities that teach and encourage students to use Class Techniques and to engage in Group Centered functions.
First report from the Australia Study Group #2 which has been an ongoing group for several years; they had two reports given – One report, by Rick Thomas H.W.M about the closeness of that group given that it been over the internet, as a Zoom group. This Study Group has membership on two continents and in regions on three countries. Over the years, they have availed themselves of the use of The Prosperos® Library of Taped Workshop and Classes. A Second Report was delivered via, video recording by Student Bridget Stewart of Australia about the Groups future involvement with the class Cosmic Intention Therapy Revision Project taking place in 2026.
Hugh John Malanaphy H. W., M. followed with a report on the progress of the Dream Group, which is held over Zoom. Hugh John talked about the benefits of working with dreams. the growth that has occurred for members of the Dream Group within a safe environment in which members could speak freely about their dreams. As we move towards 2026, He invited students interested in joining the group to contact him for more information and enrollment eligibility.
Hanz Bolen, H.W., M, mentioned the work of the Northwest Study Group with Mike Zonta H.W., M, Melissa Derfler H.W.,M, Hanz Bolen, H.W.,M, and Richard Branam.
High Watch Mentors Report followed, prepared by Sara Walker H. W., (who through hospitalized and now recuperation) was not able to attend the Assembly.
Her report was presented by Mara Pennell H. W., m.
The High Watch report consisted of information on the number of request for the Translations® technique, through the H.W. Translation Service, The number received and worked on by Translators, as well as follow-ups on request, and concluding correspondence. In Sara’s report, she discussed her coming to a deeper understanding of the challenges of planning and preparation of an Assembly and an appreciation of those who came before her who made it look easy. This was followed by applause and gratitude for Sara’s work. Her report included names of her Assembly Team members, as well as her mention of thanks to all the various other student volunteers that helped make the event happen.
A New High Watch member was presented to the Prosperos® this Assembly, the Executive Council, had bestowed upon Alana Fennie all the rights and responsibilities of the H. W. degree. Applause and congratulations were given to Alana.
Mentors Association Report was by Calvin Harris, H. W.,M – He reminded people the life of the School is its Students and thus the Associations Key focus is the development through workshops on learning environment, that teach or improve on staff development of teachers, counselors, and writers in community engagement.
He hinted at the introduction of new workshop learning in 2026.
No New Mentor was announced by the Executive Council this year. But the Mentors Association has had activity this year spear-headed by the team of interning Mentor Mara Pennell H. W., m. and Pam Rodolph H. W.,M. in their endeavors of developing a Mid-West Center of activities.
The Central West Project Report was next presented by Mara Pennell H. W., M., that highlighted the work she and Pam Rodolph H. W., M. has done in developing the Mid-West States activities in 2025. Mara report Live Presentations of Translation® and Releasing the Hidden Splendor© were presented in Tulsa Oklahoma. Online Zoom workshops were presented for both techniques. Mara reported that two student get-together Dinner’s had been scheduled for the students, in efforts to develop monthly community actives. Plans are being finalized for a 2026 -Find Yourself and Live tape group; as well as 2026 Live Presentations of Translation and Releasing the Hidden Splendor classes and workshops.
Hugh John Malanaphy H. W., M reported next on the Membership Project and the Students Membership Portal explaining the advantages and ease of use of the portal both for the students and in the Schools record keeping. A way to more effectively add more value to the students learning experience.
A break was taken and when group reconvened.
Calvin Harris H.W., M – was introduced and he presented the first talk of the day. The talk title: “Living in a Time of Transition.”
This was “Part 1” of a two-part presentation. This portion of Calvin’s talk was about living in the midst of cataclysmic changes and that this weekend, we give ourselves permission, the space and the time to explore what’s behind the upheaval of our times.
He suggests it is caused by the evolving “Evolution of Consciousness.” Mankind believes there are two paths open to living this journey of life. He gives a description of the two paths. He moves on to cultural changes, life speeding up and that AI is just one representation of the changes taking place. People are fearful of change, but that we do not want to give ourselves over to fear, but instead take responsibility, that is the ability to respond and align with the Truth behind appearances. That the Prosperos® School of Ontology since its inception is about the ethical alignment of the psychological, physical, and emotional elements of our Conscious Somatic (physical/emotional) Expression, regarding the Ontological reality behind the universe of time, space, and change, and our fundamental and changeless reality.
The question he poses is what path will you choose or will the path, through someone else’s ethical or inhumane programing become yours?
The need now is not fear, but the responsibility we have today towards the clean-up of unconscious negative habits, emotional baggage , thinking and triggers. This can be accomplished through consistent use of Translation® and Releasing the Hidden Splendor©.
Homo-sapiens are coming into a new sense of identity about themselves, moving from a previous state of earthbound material human to a new state of flow in understanding itself as Consciousness. That Translation and RHS are the tools to not only be able to live but to thrive in this time of transition. Understanding ourselves as individuations of consciousness, each with our unique voice to be heard.
Calvin hinted at the second part of his talk, which was Communities working in the truest sense of Group Dynamics and Creative Problem Solving will help to keep you on the leading edge of advancement and in alignment in this Era of the Information Age as we prepare for the evolutionary jump into the Age of Consciousness.
He ended his presentation by reminding each of us, of our uniqueness by mouthing the words, that lead him to sing the words from a Carpenters song called “Sing” and then having everyone join in song with him.
Alana Fennie H. W. presented next, a light-hearted and energic look at Words. with her talk titled “The Play of Words; The Poetry of You.” Alana reminded us that we are all products of a world-built world. And the importance of looking closer at the words we use.
She gave examples such as:
“I and the father are one.” Meaning we are the Source.
“Dominion” referring to sovereign power meaning internal beingness.
She delved into Lateral metaphors as a technique within lateral thinking, using a comparison to familiar concepts to reframe an idea and force a new, innovative perspective by avoiding established patterns of thought as a way to play with words.
She then hinted at concepts of astrological energies and alignments that would be happening soon, and our freedom to play with or have word play, with the possible effects. She expressed more information about these astrological energies and alignments would be discussed in a talk by Anne Bollman H. W., M. occurring the next day.
Something happened between the space of time that the song “Sing” ended and Alana’s presentation on giving permission to play with words because towards the end of Alana’s talk, a student, who for weeks was dealing with a difficult decision to let something go, had a personal insight. It caused the student to spontaneously stand up and emotionally speak the words “I’m Free… I have Freedom from my situation.” Tears of joy falling onto her cheeks, as other students in proximity, go to her, having her feel She was supported. Everyone was affected and processed the scene in their unique ways. A feeling for me was, that we are all here as one, all connected in this space now…to free ourselves from what holds us back.
A break was called. When we returned
William Fennie H. W., M. Dean, was next to present “Cosmic Intention Therapy® (CIT) Revised Part1.” Which was in effect was lesson three of Thane’s original teaching notes of CIT.
William’s aim, I believe, was to give an update version of the material with extracted jargon found in its original 1980’s presentations. He pointed out that the State of the world has changed, and so is the unfolding of infinite mind. The concept of the proto-mutant has become a generational adaptation archetype to the destruction of outworn constructs of the previous generation. We want to be cognizant during these times of change, to not throw (principal), the baby out with the bathwater ( misinformation and misrepresentation) as we address successive generations.
The Proto-mutant’s of today, their challenge is Social Issues, information overload, and Hyper Sexualization having consequences of un-achievability or confusion with notions of what being connected is, sexuality; and manhood, especially for young males.
The importance of choosing accurate source material. Especially when creating the story we tell ourselves about who we are and the way things are.
With the Atom Boom came a reconsideration of identity and beliefs as to what is material and what is non-dimensional, abstract, and conceptual. That would include the concept of male and female attributes within each person as not being one or the other, not separate but as a merge of power that is creative energy within each one of us.
Privacy is a myth.
Willaim ended with, we needed to understand mankind is not earthbound but a participant in Universal Minds intention which when understood properly can bring a great peace and everything becomes beautiful.
A break was called. When we returned
Rick Thomas, H.W., M, was our last speaker of the day. His subject was “Honoring Emotions in RHS.”
Rick began his presentation with a breathing exercise to help us connect with our soma and beingness.
He then discussed the value of embracing our full array of emotions, not only those that are socially acceptable. He spoke about the necessity to get in touch with those emotions that have been suppressed or denied. By using a healing method of taking these hampered emotions into the love of your heart. He led us through a guided meditation to that. He suggested practicing this on a regular basis.
He stated that there may be an avoidance to this because we live in a “comfort culture”, and we avoid discomfort where we can. He reminds us that through Translation® , we know that discomfort is a lie about comfort.
He reminded us that we learn from all of our emotions and by getting in touch with them we can learn emotional intelligence. Rick then open the floor up for questions & answers which concluded his presentation.
We broke for Dinner,
It was a lovely evening in San Diego and many enjoyed each other’s company in stories at the Hotel’s Restaurant.
After Dinner, a Closed meeting of those in attendance at Assembly convened under the Title of High Watch Convocation this turned out to be an opportunity for students to speak freely, in an open forum about how they felt about the School, or concerns they may have about it function or functioning. Because of the nature of the meeting, I will not say much, but my observations I can share is this, and I believe it was helpful for some people to hear themselves say out loud what they were feeling, and for others it was healing, and for still others it showed them where they needed to do some introspective work.
It had been a full day of activity, I went to my suite, ponder the day, prepare for bed, and fell quickly asleep, grateful for such a full day.
It’s 5:15 a.m. I’m up, but only in my underwear, as I prepare the in-room pod coffee, to go along with some muesli type granola bar. I sit at the table and go over my talk for the day, even making sure I have the right music tracks to give to Sarkis Balayan to play. Sarkis is acting as the sound engineer for this Assembly. He has even brought the sound system with him, producing a much-appreciated upgrade level of sound quality to our Assembly experience.
It’s 9:30a.m. and where has the time gone? I am showered, gotten dress, Pulled my notes together and am on the golf cart to the Lobby. To my disappointment there are no pastries in the room, but with the Restaurant across the way I can order coffee and a pastry.
9:40 a.m. with most of the student in the room, the bell is rung and we begin.
Mara Pennell does the Morning Greeting, makes announcements and does the roll call.
Mara is our next presenter, she asked Janet Cornwell H.W.,m. to come join her on the riser in the front of the room.
Together they re-enact Bob Newhart’s, Humorous sketch about a psychiatrist with his patients complaints, and the iconic response all mental health providers at one time or another wish they could say: “STOP IT.” This was from the MAD TV show, 2001 (Season 6) episod, called STOP IT.
This also happened to be the name of Mara’s talk. “Stop It” . We know this phrase is a command or request for someone to cease an action, often one that is annoying, bothersome, or harmful. It literally means to cease immediately, from doing something.
Mara’s points to her talk was
To recognize that we do stuff that is on an automatic loop.
Let’s pay attention to what we are doing/saying. Find the triggers for those actions, RHS them, and STOP IT!
Calvin was the next speaker up. This presentation was the 2nd Part of Living in a Time of Transition.
He pointed out that the Key to all of this was Identity. Understanding what Existence is.
Understanding we are sentient beings in a Somatic Conscious form called homo-sapien. That Consciousness animates the awareness and knowing of experiences; of having subjective feeling, such as pain, pleasure, joy and distress; centered around critical, creative, and analytical thinking skills.
Key traits include curiosity, objectivity, analytical skills, intellectual humility, self-awareness (introspection), open-mindedness, persistence, and strong communication abilities;
Human Consciousness reasons in time – past, present, and future; and can due abstract reasoning and calculations.
A Human who is self-absorbed within themself, creates a life path that contains isolation, fear, and hopelessness. But just like the song “old man river” there is another path, based on an older Truth – a choice, that is for a life being alive and thriving in the flow of all life, and that it keeps on moving along, weather it is recognize or not.
In other words, the self of an individual, the consciousness of the individual works best in relationship to what is in all life.
We live by the knowledge of the relationship to the “other”, generally referred to as other people. It is in relationships that we get to know who we are, what we think, and what we advocate when we are relating with others and vise-versa. It is in the interacting of each other’s stories that we grow and become intelligible to ourselves.
Group Dynamics help keep you on the leading edge and in alignment in this Era of the Information Age as we make the step forward for the evolutionary jump into the Age of Consciousness. Which will be seen as co-creative, intelligence, and the merge and flow between person to person and personalized dialogues; machine and human learning, that unlearns, reformulates, adapts, Listens, and evolves.
Homo-sapiens work best in community, interaction, and engagement, where curiosity in challenges and work is turned to fun, and curiosity is foremost in the alchemy of the alignment of the mind / emotional balance, which is maintain best through the application of Translation and RHS.
Otherwise we find ourselves in a world where we consume more and more but do not apply what we learn and thus enjoy less and less lashing out in fear and from isolation… part of our unlearning process is in the action of expressing what we have uncovered about ourselves. That we are all Consciousness’ which is interconnected with all beings in sentient flow of shared experience called Conscious existence. What most people don’t realize is that their outcome is tied to their input. For Consciousness and matter are intertwined. The Universee itself responds to human thought. Call it quantum entanglement.
We must understand that a shift from the industrial work age has happened, from an economy centered on labor to one of information technology.
Recognize it or not, we are in a new age, called Information Age, or Digital Age. This concept of AI, is an indication of something larger, pointing a finger at something larger.
What we now know is that the speed of Light is no longer the fastest speed in the Universe, The fastest thing in the Universe, is the Expanding Universe, finding and knowing itself, more and more. Universal Consciousness knowing itself as all there is, more and more.
When we step into the flow of consciousness in all that we do, our alignment then is with all life. Translation® and RHS will show you how to think and feel through everything deeply.
We need to see more clearly and act more bravely as we move into the Age of Mind Power. So if you are ready to take your spiritual practice to the next level= beyond where people can barely breathe because of fear, when everyone else is in the world is fight, flight, or fawn then join me in the fun/work concept of the Prosperos School, of unlearning materiality through classes, and community all designed to keep you keep on the cutting edge of your future.
We took a Lunch Break
After the Break was Anne Bollman H. W,. M. talk on The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries– The Evolutionary Change We Can Expect.”
The Saturn-Neptune conjunction is an astrological event where these two planets align closely, approximately every 36 years in a formation involving a causal effect in relationship to a third planet. The next exact conjunction occurs in Aries, in February 2026. To put this in historic context, The last conjunction was in 1989, in Sagittarius, that coincided with significant global shifts, including the end of the Cold War and major revolutions.
Anne in her talk went over the historic chronological order of these critical cross-cycle planetary relationships were, what resulted happen during, and/or in their aftermath.
This rare event, this go-round signifies another major shift or “cosmic restart” for humanity, prompting some type of integration or degeneration of spiritual ideals along with social/political realities.
This current Saturn-Neptune conjunction happening in Aries will display archetypal energies such as
Saturn, representing structure and responsibility,
Neptune, representing dreams and illusion,
Align in the sign of Aries, representing action and new beginnings.
This combination brings themes of ambitious but potentially confusing inspiration. This creates a Blur of Reality: The conjunction may blur the lines between what is truly possible and what is merely a dream, leading to situations where taking action might feel difficult without clear vision affecting collective identities and individual purpose.
Anne also asked us to ponder what is symbolized by the Aquarian (age) drive, that brings into focus technology, innovation, and progressive new ideas that will also change the future as we have known it.
Break time
Followed by our last speaker of the day, William Fennie, with part two of Cosmic Intention Therapy Revised.
William began by doing something completely out of character for him, and that was to parody one of Peggy Lee’s old standard songs. It brought humor and laughs to the group and signaled a change in what we were about to hear.
William talk is on the revision of lesson 8 of CIT. He goes over what was called the Rules of Conduct for a good life and it entailed such ideas as – Energy out equal energy in; Quality of Output equals quality of input; Rules of ultimate Purpose; Recognize and display patterns of Love; If you want to stop hurting, then stop hurting others; To see Truth, you must face it naked; To Grow you must help others; Give what is needed; Live a good rich life; Learn to tell the Truth; Learn to communicate; Demonstrate Love; Show respect to all; Clarify your understanding; and You will experience reality. Develop yourself in such a way that you bring people to you by pleasing others;
William talked about the quality of your Energy; Doing a Check-up on your levels of energy when applied to your Purpose; Love; Beauty; and of course the energy level in your Persistence in what you are doing.
William pointed out that we are all Teachers in one way or another; To make sure the Bill is Paid (not only monetary but in all that you owe); The importance in creating benefits not only for yourself, but also for others.
He emphasized that all of this was having to do with experience and alignment with reality.
That Sunday Evening, was the celebratory Banquet event, with its food, wine, and dance. A time to recognize new achievement such as Alana in receiving High Watch designation, Mara her Road Runner designation, A Special honor to Rick Thomas.
Of course the gratitude for those who put in the work:
Assembly Team Sara Walker, H.W.,m.; Anne Bollman, H.W., M.; Janet Cornwell, H.W., m.; Richard Hartnett, H.W., M.; and John Atwater H.W.
Planning: William Fennie, H.W.,M.; Mara Pennell, H.W.,m.
Audio/Visual: Sarkis Balayan; MC: Greta Balayan; Flowers and Leis: Maureen Malanaphy, H.W.,M
A Big Thank You went to all of our Speakers and Presenters and a Special thank you to our Registrar: Janet Cornwell, H.W.,m. who handled the book table and registration desk single handedly all four days.
The Banquet for many can be a bitter / sweet moment, knowing that we will be leaving The next day.
The highlight of the evening came after the meal, awards and salutations. It was the entertainment which was in the form of first Sarkis Balayan playing the accordion followed by Greta Balayan joining him on the floor to dance a traditional European folk dance, followed by her cutting loose in wild abandonment, and bring up a group to dance with her in free form dance style.
Like the Song One last aloha and then it time to say good-bye, The after-banquet hugs, filled with alohas love and hugs as we moved out of the banquet room and towards our quarters. Back in my suite there was so much to think about that had happened over these last few days, finally I settled down and went to sleep.
Next morning it was time to pack and get ready for our last sessions all I can remember about that last day was the joy I felt being with the Prosperos® Family. The final stories we told to each other, the hugs, the laughs and the picking up of the Hawaiian ti leaves that Maureen Malanaphy had graced our meeting room with that we now take back to our own homes as a remembrance of this Assembly 2025 weekend.
Aloha, A hui hou kākou
