Royal Satterlee, D.D., D.R.S

Having had a mystical awareness of Love’s presence since 16, Royal Satterlee has always conceived of his second and deeper reflections of reality as essential to his understanding. As a Methodist minister he taught with spiritual awareness from 1948 until 1963. Later, he very successfully conducted his own business in Southern California.

After the initial mystical experience of the loving and all powerful God Presence revealing itself (Himself or Herself -- if you prefer), healings began to acrew. The first was the healing of a young man who was freed from a life-long tuberculois condition. Following it were healings from the paralysis of ... polimyelitis and removal of infections in the brain of a lady who had been operated on for cancer. Many other healings kept take place.

In 1975, Dr. Royal discovered the teachings of Dr. Ernest Holmes who wrote The Science of Mind. He found them in accord with the healings of his earlier metaphysical experiences. He retrained as a Religious Science minister with The Science of Mind at the center of his teachings. He was especially moved by Holmes’ conception that “Everything begins with an idea." It quickly became obvious to him that Life is as good as anyone can believe provided one acts accordingly.

In 1979, he entered the ministry of the Church of Religious Science. He is a master teacher of spirituality and the author of several milestone books exploring metaphysical truths. Among them are The Bible Teaches the Evolution of Spiritual Consciousness, Second Reflections (A unique approach to meditation and to realizing human equality) and Meeting the LoveFriend (the Lovefriend is one's inner Higher Self). In a setting where mysticism is the essential teaching, he involves himself with significant healings and transformations on a daily basis.

His several degrees include an earned Doctorate from "Emerson Theological Institute," Oakhurst, California.
