I ask that all my Circles be
known as ‘Circles in A System for the Research of
Truth,’ and that they do not bear my name. I have
placed in my daughter’s hands, Panayiota Th. Atteshlis, my
complete life's works and the full authority to distribute this
material as she determines. I have asked Panayiota to serve the
Circles. All decisions concerning Circle status and standing
will be decided by Panayiota.
It is asked that each Circle
work in relative isolation from one another as cells.
Communication between Coordinators and members of the different
Circles should be kept at a minimum, so that each Circle may
develop at its own internal pace and In peace. Many
Coordinators have found that as they work with a certain group
of individuals it becomes difficult for newcomers unfamiliar
with the Teachings to step in. One solution is to hold separate
meetings for new initiates. If a Circle's Coordinator is unable
to hold two separate sessions, perhaps a knowledgeable Circle
member will work with the newcomers until they are prepared to
join the regular sessions.
St. Matthew writes in his
Gospel, "You receive without cost; give without charge (10:8)".
The gifts from God are rich and plentiful. In our labors to
awaken this world to God's light we should refrain from taking
any material gain. Throughout my life I have been fortunate to
have been blessed with enough bounty that I have never had to
charge anyone for the lessons or for healings I conduct. We all
have our occupations and professions to support us, and our
teaching work should remain separate in time and in nature.
These Teachings should infuse all aspects of your lives, but not
themselves become your lives. And never permit these Teachings
to emerge as a source of income. If there grows the need to rent
a common place for the Circle meeting, or you find that you have
travel expenses, calculate the cost and divide the figure
amongst those participating. This shouldn't come to very much.
If some cannot afford to help, see that room is found for them.
I ask you all to work
sincerely and quietly. I have never authorized anyone to teach
our material outside of their Circles. No one has permission to
speak or teach publicly in my name and on our work. Please
understand that here in Cyprus we have never licensed any
individual to collect funds on our behalf. Furthermore I have
asked all of you to be discrete in your work and to refrain from
publicly stating your relationship to myself and our work in
Cyprus.
