PAT IV - Italy, Israel and Egypt - 1985

Assisi - Rome - Cairo - Nile River Cruise - Sea of Galilee - Jerusalem - Athens - Greek Isles

Dates:  March 14 - April 19, 1985

Here we are walking down the same corridors of time, walking the path of our own personal initiation...


From 1984 to 1995, John-Roger directed 9 remarkable month-long journeys through Egypt and Israel with groups of 150 people. These trips, called PAT IV and PAT V (Peace Awareness Training), were dream-come-true sojourns for many.

First Person Recollections

From Theresa Hocking:


My Traveler story is from 1985 and a PAT IV trip with John-Roger.


We were in Italy, and my karma was very much with me, I was very emotional and very discouraged, wondering if I could ever solve the issue. In a way the issue was embarrassing, so I told absolutely no one! Not being able to express the pain or talk about my feelings with a friend was part of the challenge.


I thought it was strange that J-R kept appearing in my path, walking in front of me, sometimes “accidentally” bumping into me in a crowd. One afternoon in a hotel, I saw J-R looking into a huge mirror in the hallway, sort of fixing his hair. I kept walking down the hall and laughing inside because the idea of J-R checking his hair in a hallway mirror was very much out of character. His appearance was not a primary concern for him. But his initiates, including me, were a primary concern.


I kept walking and inside I understood. John-Roger was making it very clear to me that he was always with me, I was NOT alone. After that realization, I essentially never saw him again on the month long trip, unless he was giving a seminar and he was at the front of the room. This was a large group, perhaps 135 MSIA people. He had other physical work to do.


That was over 30 years ago and life has only gotten better. (And I finally did get the issue resolved!) I know John-Roger is with me, probably all the time, but I am most aware of this when I consciously connect with him. Even though his body left the planet several years ago, there is no change, he is always with me – just as he said he would be. I am blessed.


I love you John-Roger,
