Robert, founder of SRT and SpR, had a standing contract
of being in that state of complete oneness with SPIRIT
whenever he worked with SRT/SpR. He developed this
during his years of spiritual oneness through personal
study and prayer as well as working at Silent Unity Prayer
Interna onal Service. This perfected his Alpha, Theta,
Delta, and Spiritual states of oneness with Father within
and Spiritual Source. Robert o en said he did not medi‐
tate, he was referring to the formal state of medita on
s llness for 20‐30 minutes. He had developed an instant
ability to reach this state of Spiritual oneness.
I, too, have a prac ced personal agreement for this same
type of connec on each me I am asked to prayerfully
support someone. I immediately connect with SPIRIT/
Divine Love and release all my personal concerns to be
the open and recep ve channel or way that SPIRIT can

Spiritual Source developed by years of daily devo on and

oneness with SPIRIT on a daily basis or even more in a

crease your personal
love, joy, and gra tude in
