REV. THOMAS JANSSEN, ISA EDUCATION TRUSTEE

 His 2004 revelation in Grand Canyon? 

“I am the Creator, experiencing the creation, as the created.”   
 He says, “It all connects into Oneness, 

God is the Creative Force at the source of everything, 

the All that Is.  

"I am an eternal Spiritual Being 

having this temporary Human Experience.” 

 Thomas was raised Roman Catholic.  Always the doubting Thomas he often asked questions that challenged church doctrine.  Not finding fairness in any Christian doctrine he was agnostic (is there a God?) for a time in his early 20's.  The Edgar Cayce readings introduced him to the concept of the continuity of life through rebirth – birth from Spirit into human form and then back to Spirit, with each life building on the previous experiences.  This was the missing piece, he could find fairness if there's repeated opportunities for "salvation."  He explored many philosophies and Religions before joining 11 others in a ministerial class in 1988 taught by Rev. Jeannette Fisher.  She was a gifted Spiritualist Medium and Pastor of the Temple of Love and Healing in St. Petersburg, FL, a Spiritualist church chartered through UCM (Universal Church of the Master in California).   [SCROLL FOR MORE]   [ISA EVENTS]   [HOME]

Thomas' thoughts on our place in creation.

[Keep Scrolling]

 "Is there a primary Law that explains everything?  In the physical world Gravity is the primary force behind it all.  It forms and holds planets, moons and stars together and in orbits.  It is the force behind weather, that moves oceans and keeps our feet on the ground.  Is there one law that governs this physical experience?  I think, yes!"  Rev. Thomas

 "Source is Infinite Intelligence."  Abraham-Hicks [see ISA Principles 1 & 2]

"I find 'God' a polarizing term to use in a meaningful way.  Believers are often too set in their ways to allow for a new definition.  As a noun it is defined in too many ways blocking anything different even a bigger God that is actually far, far greater.  In The Lord's Prayer, the traditional translation, 'Father,' we are most familiar with has limited meaning as the result of repeated translations from language to language to language in a patriarchal time.   'God' has a larger definition bigger than any single word when translated directly from the Aramaic writings, such as ' Cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration.'  Nature shows us that new life (creation) requires both masculine and feminine."  Rev. Thomas  [Lord's Prayer comparisons]  [Owen Waters]

 "Over 50 years ago I found no fairness in Catholic doctrine - it unfairly doomed too many.  Other flavors of Christianity that I explored also fell short and did not give everyone a fair chance at salvation.  I could not accept a god of fear and knew a God of Love must be bigger than those teachings.  I began then, and continue now, to find and know a loving and fair God (i.e.- Source of all that is).  To accept a bigger God I let go of lesser gods (god of magic, micromanager god, and narcissistic king god) as limited definitions of god in man's image.  In a world created by a loving God there is no Us and Them - there is only Us."  Rev. Thomas 

 "There's a lot of new age overuse of 'co-creator.'  Law of Attraction explains how this works.  Genesis, in the Christian Bible Old Testament, describes something coming from nothing and science finds something very similar with the Big Bang theory.  The primary difference involves time, something that does not exist where God is, yet there's a passionate debate about creation in six Earth days. This debate misses the major point of agreement - something coming from nothing.  Also revealing in Genesis is 'let us make man in our likeness and image.'  Why this is so easily ignored by traditional Christianity is a mystery to me.  Source is all that is, man is a projection of Source as is everything.  Physical creation (the observable) does not exist without Source, but Source exists independent of physical creation.  We each are of Source and as such participate in the Creation process - Will our contribution be something newly imagined or more of the same?  Our only choices are by default or by intention.  Once you see it you will realize that, like Dorothy in Wizard of Oz, you have had the power all along."  Rev. Thomas
