         [Indiana] 
          Fellow practitioners from all of the Midwestern Centers of the Supreme 
          Master Ching International Association ¾ Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, 
          Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio ¾ were happy to gather at the Indiana Center 
          on the weekend of September 1, 2002 for a retreat and Internet conference 
          with Master. 
        In a relaxed manner, Master began the conference by 
          telling the initiates about how She takes care of Her animals, letting 
          everyone know how She shows Her love by allowing them to sleep on Her 
          bed. She reminded the initiates that, like humans, animals have feelings 
          and emotions, and that Her pets become “upset” with Her if She does 
          not pay enough attention to them. Also, animals are much more intelligent 
          beings than people think. 
        Then, before the question and answer session, initiates 
          sang a song to show their appreciation to Master, Who then lovingly 
          responded to all the initiates’ queries and requests. 
        One initiate offered to sing a song entitled “My Mother” 
          that she had personally composed for Master. Her beautiful voice, combined 
          with her love for Master, brought tears to the eyes of many initiates 
          attending the conference. Also, a miracle happened while the initiate 
          was singing this song for Master. The sister was born extremely nearsighted. 
          Doctors had told her that she had a serious eye condition and that if 
          she ever had certain problems with her vision she needed to seek medical 
          help immediately. Otherwise, she could risk blindness. 
        Just before the conference, the sister began having 
          problems with her vision. And according to the medical advice she had 
          been given, she should have gone to see a doctor then. But instead, 
          she decided to stay focused on singing well for Master. And the miracle 
          happened right after she sang the song. Her vision cleared up, and the 
          problems she had been having were nearly gone. She blinked her eyes 
          and could not believe that she could see so much better! 
        No words can say enough about the miraculous blessings 
          conveyed by Master through the Internet conference!
