Our Dear Dr. Larry Morris:

So many memories, So many stories, funny jokes, corny jokes and important down to earth spiritual lessons taught always done with such a genuine inner joy from your heart!

My husband, Carlos and I first met Larry and Dr. Susan Nettleton in 1995 when we had been church hopping for eight years. We had never experienced a true spiritual meditation, nor a minister starting his services with several jokes!!! Some were good, and well, others were somewhat corny!! We saw a "jumping minister" expressing his genuine joy of life from his heart!! He walked back and forth raising his arms up and down while delivering his spiritual lesson to his congregation. Yes, we kept comming back, Larry was refreshing from the priests and ministers we had both experience in our past!!

Larry, has been a very unique, honest spiritual human being, telling us about what he had learned in all his travels. Oh, so full of spiritual wisdom teaching us to lessen the pain inside "ourselves" in our hearts when others betray us; by forgiving them in our hearts, blessing the situation for the lesson learned in the situation, letting it go surrendering forward with a possitive attitude, throughout our future. ( In a moment of fear inside me, I asked Larry, "I really don't want to confront my betrayers, for they will always deny the pains they caused me." He then said, "No you don't confront them, just forgive them in your heart, to let go of your pain!")

Although we will not be able to physically embrace our Dear Rev. Larry Morris,Ph.D. We will forever miss him and feel his caring spiritual presence in our hearts!!  D. Carlos and Patricia A. Diaz

I met him at the first public lecture I attended, given by Helen in 1974.  I knew her as one of my best friend’s mother. It was then time to know her as my Teacher. And Larry was her protegee, always at her side, ready to serve and support her and those she led. I remember him as a gentle presence and easy to approach, always available when in need of support in the practice of meditation and contemplation. That is until I needed to miss a Contemplation class and he informed me that that was unacceptable…rattling my vulnerable self to the core…Oh well, I got over it and most likely took my practice more seriously as a result of it. I remember his quiet, steady stillness and quirky sense of humor, including his laugh. I remember his gaze as he would look at me with his deep dark brown eyes, as if he were penetrating in to my soul, with a sense of recognition.  He seemed to be on a straight and narrow path, ready and willing to provide comfort as needed. He was the big brother who could be counted on, as I ventured into the realm of spiritual exploration. While Helen led, paving the way to the true life I had come here to express, Larry followed along, comforting the shattered self  who was being encouraged to go deeper… into the realm of the unknown. Together the two of them laid the foundation from which I was to evolve into the person I am today. And for both of them I am forever grateful.

Yes dear Larry, thank you for the role you played on my journey. I so appreciate your willingness and generosity of spirit in doing so. I trust that as you moved on, on your own path, that you lived a life filled with much meaning and satisfaction. And that your new found freedom holds all of the love and joy that is promised.  You have blessed many and as you have, surely you have been blessed.

Divine Love Blesses you now.        And so it Is, "dear one"!
