The Miracle of Yellowstone Hot Springs

What the Public is Saying About the Water

If you ask me, the real miracle of

Yellowstone Hot Springs is that the doors are

open, and people are coming from every walk of

life to experience the magnificent water in the aura

of the ascended masters.

After so many years of dreaming, planning,

fundraising, laying pipe, and praying, we finally

have a pool for all to enjoy! Truly it is a miracle

foreseen by the messenger, and left for the chelas

to bring into the physical.

Thank you, chelas! Thank you, Guru Ma

and Lanello! Thank you, ascended masters!

All you have to do is go to Facebook to read

the beautiful reviews. Here are just a few:

“This place is really special. The staff is lovely, the

location is perfect, and the pools are just the right

temperature. Also, it’s the first hot springs I’ve

seen that has ramp access into the pool in addition

to stairs. That’s a really thoughtful touch. Very

impressive.”

**

“One of the most unique hot spring (sic) in all the

world.... Water is taken out of ‘LaDuke’ and has a

history going back to the long-ago days!!!

“The old pool cantina is still standing there…which

they are renovating for historical purposes. It’s

very interesting to see that place, with the old

timbers now showing due to the renovation.

“The new pool system was just finished months

ago…and is out of this world…modern facility.…

Yeah it’s small enough and the campsite is small

enough that it’s just like a little family private

GEM.”

**

“This place was AWESOME!! So worth the visit.

My gf & I went on a 6-mile hike in YNP before

coming here and it was such an amazing experi-

ence. We wanted to come back every day—ha ha.

Yellowstone Hot Springs staff members

“The staff was super friendly. They have a hot,

warm, and cold soaking area. The hot water melted

away all of our aches and sores from hiking. We felt

so rejuvenated. What a heavenly paradise this place

is. Plus, you’re in the mountains.... Imagine soaking

in warm water while looking out at all the beautiful

mountains that surround you.

“It was beyond words. The landscaping is gorgeous

too, you can tell they take pride in their work. This

place was perfection and it’s not far from the North

entrance of YNP. Thank you for a wonderful

experience.”

What other miracles happen at Yellowstone

Hot Springs? Some you cannot put a price on, like

the people visiting from Colombia who met a

Summit Lighthouse staff member in the water and

wanted a tour of the Church and packages of our

materials because they felt this was their home. Or,

there was the family visiting from India who met a

Summit Lighthouse member

also from India and had a

wonderful exchange of spiritual

fellowship. Perhaps most

miraculous of all was the mother

and daughter who came for the

first time, kneeled before the

statue of Mother Mary, and held

her hand in prayer. Who knows

what gift they received that day?

All of this is possible because of you!

Your continued giving helps us complete

our payment for this beautiful gift and add the

touches that are so necessary.

Heroes Like You Are Needed to Help Us Work Out the Kinks and Grow

Yellowstone Hot Springs

had to close nine times this

summer and the staff had to ask

everyone to leave the pool and

refund their entrance fees! Why?

Thunder and lightning in

Montana afternoons or evenings.

A partial solution? Some kind of shelter

such as a sunroom off the mechanical room. The

price tag? $25,000. The sponsor? A hero. Maybe

you!

What about lighting the

parking lot? The price tag? $10,000.

The sponsor? Maybe the

gnomes…and a hero like you.

Do you love flowers and gardens?

Upgrading the landscaping

will decrease maintenance

costs and honor the additional

statues that will be coming.

Price tag? $10,000. Are you the one to give a gift

for the elementals?

We invite you to partner with us to learn

about the most pressing needs to accommodate all

those people who will be coming.

The cost to build and

open the pool was $2.5

million, which was funded by the

Church’s line of credit. Our goal is

to entirely pay back this amount

over the next few years.

Currently we have received approximately

$1.6 million in pledges and donations. Thank you!

Please pray for a mighty victory as we strive to

reach the goal!

My First Swim And What It Meant to Me

There was snow on the lounge chairs. It was

early in the morning, and a puffed up robin was

supervising from a bare tree branch. April at

Yellowstone Hot Springs is beautiful.

$2.5M

Current gifts and

pledges are

approximately $1.6 M

I believe I was the

first one in the water. Of

course, steam was rising and

I could see the Mother Mary

statue shrouded in the mist.

So I said some prayers as I

glided out into the silky

warm water, never noticing

the temperature outside.

It was sunny and

calm. Soon a set of parents with three children

joined me. One of the girls exuberantly took a

daring plunge in the cold pool. Then we all spotted

mountain sheep working their way up the side of

the far hill which elicited a lot of “Oooos” and

“Ahaaas.”

“What are they feeling?” I wondered. And

as if reading my mind, the youngest daughter

loudly exclaimed to her mother, “I really like this

place.” Perhaps on some level, she had found her

spiritual home…because of you working hand-in-

hand with the masters to make this possible.

As for me, when I stepped out and made my

way home, I was filled with a great sense of peace

and well-being. These feelings showed me how the

water has a “ripple effect” and can permeate all

those who come to enjoy it. I believe it generates

spiritual waves of light around the world. May we

all be touched by these waves of peace.

Forward-Thinking Members Lead

the Way with Extraordinary Gifts that Create Great Positive Karma and

Tax Benefits Today

We are thrilled to share with you that

several inspired Keepers of the Flame have worked

with their financial planners to benefit Church

Universal and Triumphant—or the sacred waters—

with tremendous assets they have put into

Irrevocable Charitable Remainder Trusts. This

could be a perfect form of philanthropy for you,

too.

If you have an asset that you derive income

from—such as rental property, income-producing

funds, or another asset—it can be gifted to the

Waters of Life Capital

Campaign or to the

Church in general. An

Irrevocable Charitable

Remainder Trust will

continue to provide you

with income and allow

you to also take

advantage of significant tax benefits now.

Please ask us and your financial planner

how this can work for you. We’re happy to share

how it can provide a strong foundation for future

developments through the Waters of Life Capital

Campaign—and Church Universal and Triumphant.

A holy place—where Mother Mary’s Sacred Water comes into the mechanical room. Wouldn’t some

gnomes and amethysts be at home here?

The Kneipp Walk

A Modality Mother Requested

Father Kneipp was a nineteenth-century

Roman Catholic priest who promoted the use

of hot- and cold-water therapy as well as other

natural botanical remedies.

Mother was eager to have the Kneipp

modality at the hot springs, and here it is!

One walking lane contains hot water and

the other contains cold water. People alternately

wade through the hot and cold water several

times. The little smooth river rocks embedded in

the bottom of the walks gently stimulate the

feet.

Also, toddlers like to play in the shallow

pools!

We Always Love to Answer Your Questions,

Hear Your Vision and Experiences, and

Receive Your Ideas

We always look forward
