The Love of a Master

A modern-day spiritual Master...his flawed, yet devoted disciple...26 years of profound, practical, and deeply personal lessons with universal relevance.

The Love of a Master For more than five decades, thousands of followers worldwide called Dr. John-Roger their Wayshower on the path to Soul Transcendence in the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness. He wore the mantle of both the Mystical Traveler and the Preceptor-a consciousness that only appears on earth every 25,000 years.

Jesus Garcia was a proverbial struggling Hollywood actor when he first encountered "J-R"-astonished to recognize the embodiment of a mysterious figure that had appeared to him in childhood. Soon their lives intertwined as "Zeus" became J-R's live-in bodyguard, chauffeur, student, collaborator, and friend for more than a quarter century, until his passing in 2014. Garcia's intimate memoir reveals the remarkable, day-to-day teachings of a wise and humorous Master to his all-too-human initiate, courageously shared with heart-rending transparency, vulnerability, and love.

Rev. Jesus Garcia, DSS, spent 26 years working for and learning from his spiritual teacher and Mystical Traveler, John-Roger, DSS, founder of the Los Angeles-based Church of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA). Garcia was initiated into the sound current of God by John-Roger and ordained as a minister into the order of the Melchizedek Priesthood by John Morton, who currently holds the keys to the Mystical Traveler Consciousness. In creative collaboration with John-Roger (known as J-R), Garcia-a respected Hollywood cinema veteran-co-produced three feature movies-Spiritual Warriors, The Wayshower, and Mystical Traveler-and four short films between 1998 and 2014. Since J-R’s transition in October of 2014, Garcia has continued his ministry of sharing the spiritual teachings of John-Roger through screening Mystical Traveler, conducting workshops on Practical Spirituality, and providing spiritual counseling to students and initiates of the Traveler all around the globe. Previously, as an actor, Garcia appeared on-screen in such popular films as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Along Came Polly, We Were Soldiers, Spiritual Warriors, Collateral Damage, and Atlas Shrugged. The Love of a Master is his first book. He resides in Los Angeles, California.
