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.

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!
