Terms and Conditions Regarding Requests Asking
Vinny
to Make Spiritual Blessing Trips
Some
Terms and Conditions Regarding
Requests for
Vinny to Make a
Spiritual Blessing Trip to a Specific City
or Region
Introduction
As noted on the main page on this site devoted to offering information
on my Spiritual Blessing Trips, at http://www.divine-heart.org/flowing-grace-trips.html,
I regularly
receive -- usually from near-strangers or total strangers (including
churches and other organizations) -- entirely uninvited and unsolicited
requests, or even demands, that I make a spiritual blessing trip to a
specific destination city or region. In fact, the above-linked page
about my Spiritual Blessing trips includes a section (entitled A Note
Regarding Requests that I Receive to Make Spiritual Blessing Trips to
Specific Places) that briefly addresses the matter of such special
requests.
In the sections below, I will first offer a refresher of the brief
overview regarding such requests as found on the page mentioned above,
followed by additional details regarding terms and conditions attendant
to handling of requests that I make Spiritual Blessing trips to
particular destinations.
Refresher
of the Brief Overview
on the Main
Spiritual Blessing Trips Page
I must now address the curious fact that I regularly receive
entirely
uninvited and unsolicited requests, usually from near-strangers or
total strangers, that I make a spiritual blessing trip to a specific
destination city or region. Here is my response to all such requests:
I have received your request that I make a spiritual blessing
trip to a
place other than one of the cities or regions that Divinity has asked
me to visit (or at a time other than when Divinity has asked me to
visit that destination). I understand that your wish that I visit this
place was sufficiently strong that you were moved to convey your
request to me.
Supreme Heart and Divine Mother have made clear that whenever I receive
any sincere requests, Divinity will advise me immediately whether I am
allowed to make the spiritual blessing trip to the requested
destination. And, if the requested trip is approved by Divinity, I will
also be immediately advised of the approved length of the trip; all
requested spiritual blessing trips that are approved by Divinity will
be for a duration ranging from 7 days to 15 days in length (no, shorter
trips are not possible, due to concomitant limitations on
effectiveness/impact). The exact length of the requested trip (most
commonly 7 or 8 days) will be specified by Divinity, and Divinity will
choose (as is true for all of my spiritual blessing trips) the exact
hotel at the destination city/region in which I am to stay for the
duration of the trip.
Please be advised that Supreme Heart and Divine Mother have made
explicitly and firmly clear to me that any and all such trips -- if the
request has been approved by Divinity -- must be entirely prepaid by
the requesting person or organization, and that the prepaid fee is
$2,600 per day for trips to destinations within the mainland US, and
$3,900 per day for trips to destinations located outside the mainland
US. I must receive cleared prepaid funds at least 10 days in advance of
the planned trip start date for the entire trip before I can make any
reservations. (For example, the prepaid fee for an approved request for
an 8-day spiritual blessing trip to a destination within the mainland
US would be $20,800 USD, while the prepaid fee for an approved request
for a 10-day spiritual blessing trip to a destination outside the
mainland US (e.g., a city in Asia) would be $39,000 USD.) Please note
that, with the exception of a very few extreme cases (i.e., requests
for travel to extremely inaccessible areas), the above-quoted prepaid
per-day fee includes (that is, subsumes) all of my travel, lodging,
meal and incidental costs (i.e. car rental, fuel, per diem costs,
etc.).
As a result of these firm terms and conditions for any such requests
that have been set by Divinity, I will consider (and present to
Divinity for consideration) any request that I make a spiritual
blessing trip to a specified destination only if the requesting person
or organization (e.g., the small Christian churches, healing
ministries, New Age organizations, or Buddhist groups that sometimes
approach me in this regard) certifies in writing (via a message sent
via traditional email, or via a letter sent to me via postal mail) that
they are willing and able to send me a prepayment for the entire amount
of the fee (as detailed above) if Divinity should approve their
request. Any spiritual blessing trip requests that I receive that are
missing this important component, as described herein, will be entirely
ignored as frivolous, banal and insincere.
And, as has already been briefly referenced above, if I receive
permission on an inner level from Divinity to make the requested
spiritual blessing trip and I notify the requester that I am willing
and able to make the requested trip, then I must receive the cleared
funds for full prepayment of the entire fee at least 10 days prior to
the anticipated start date of the trip. If the cleared prepaid funds
are not received within the specified time frame, I will, of course,
not make any reservations for the requested trip until the funds have
cleared, with at least a 10-day lead time from clearance date for start
of travel in most cases.
Additional
Details, Including Terms and
Conditions Regarding Such
Requests Basics
First,
in order to ensure that you fully understand what my Spiritual
Blessing Trips entail, please be sure that you have read the first
three sections of the main
page devoted to the topic of the
Spiritual Blessing trips; those three sections are
entitled, respectively:
- Introduction
- Spiritual Blessing Trips, formerly called Spiritual
Flowing
Grace Trips
- A Brief Note About My Activities
During these
Spiritual
Trips.
Some Terms
and
Conditions Regarding Requests for
Spiritual Trips to Specific Places
- Each
request must name the
specific destination (i.e., town,
village, city, or unincorporated region), and must name only one
destination. If the destination is a large city or a large region, you
may wish to further specify which specific area (to within a one mile
radius; this one mile radius must include suitable commercial lodging
venues such as hotels). Each spiritual blessing trip, if approved by
Divinity, will be made to one destination only, as specified in the
request.
- If and when a
request has been approved, no changes
in
destination place are allowed; nor are multiple destinations allowed
for a single Spiritual Blessing trip.
- As specified by Divinity, all requested Spiritual
Blessing
trips must be at least 7 days in length, and, if Divinity approves a
request, the exact duration of the trip will be specified by Divinity.
While most approved spiritual blessing trips are from 7 to 8 days in
length, Divinity may request that some trips have a duration of up to
10 to 15 days in length.
- The
term "days" as used on this page means an entire
24 hour
day, consisting of day and night. Thus, if I agree to make a 7-day
Spiritual Blessing trip to a requested destination, my stay will
include at least 7 full 24-hour days. To that end, I usually arrive at
the destination on the afternoon prior to the day that will be counted
as day one, and I usually leave the destination on the day after the
day that would be counted as the final day of the trip (for example,
the 7th day of a 7-day trip).
- Each
request may specify the desired start date for
the
Spiritual Blessing trip, if the trip is approved by Divinity. However,
it is not necessary to specify a desired start date. If specifying a
desired start date, please bear in mind that I must receive the cleared
funds for
- Full
prepayment of the entire fee at least 10
days prior to the anticipated start date of the trip. If a
requested trip is approved by Divinity, I may not always be able to
start the trip on the desired start date stated by the requester, but
any stated desired trip start date will be kept in mind when I am
planning the trip. All decisions as to exact trip start date will be
made solely by myself, acting upon guidance that I receive from
Divinity.
- All requests
asking me to make a Spiritual Blessing
trip to
a specific place must be made via email (sent via traditional email),
or via a letter sent to me via postal mail, and, if you wish me to
consider it seriously, that request letter must include a statement
that the requester certifies that they (or the organization that they
represent) are willing and able to send me a prepayment for the entire
amount of the fee if Divinity should approve their request. Any
spiritual blessing trip requests that I receive that are missing this
important component will be entirely ignored as frivolous, banal and
insincere.
- Whenever I
receive a sincere written request asking
me to
make a Spiritual Blessing trip to a specified location, Divinity will
advise me immediately whether I am allowed to make the requested trip.
And, if the requested trip is approved by Divinity, I will also be
immediately advised of the approved length of the trip; all requested
spiritual blessing trips that are approved by Divinity will be for a
duration ranging from 7 days to 15 days in length (no, shorter trips
are not possible, due to concomitant limitations on
effectiveness/impact). The exact length of the requested trip (most
commonly 7 or 8 days) will be specified by Divinity, and Divinity will
choose (as is true for all of my spiritual blessing trips) the exact
hotel at the destination city/region in which I am to stay for the
duration of the trip. Once I have been advised by Divinity whether the
trip request has been approved, I will normally communicate that answer
to the requester within 24 hours of my receipt of the written request,
along with information regarding the duration of the trip (it will be 7
or 8 days in most cases) specified by Divinity.
- Supreme Heart and Divine Mother have made
explicitly
and
firmly clear to me that any and all such trips -- if the request has
been approved by Divinity -- must be entirely prepaid by the requesting
person or organization, and that the prepaid fee is $2,600 per day for
trips to destinations within the mainland US, and $3,900 per day for
trips to destinations located outside the mainland US. (For example,
the prepaid fee for an approved request for an 8-day spiritual blessing
trip to a destination within the mainland US would be $20,800 USD,
while the prepaid fee for an approved request for a 10-day spiritual
blessing trip to a destination outside the mainland US (e.g., a city in
Asia) would be $39,000 USD.) Please note that, with the exception of a
very few extreme cases (i.e., travel to extremely inaccessible areas),
the above-quoted prepaid per-day fee covers and subsumes all of my
travel, lodging, meal and incidental costs (i.e. car rental, per diem
costs, etc.).
- I must
receive cleared prepaid funds for the entire
trip at
least 10 days in advance of the planned trip start date, before I can
make any reservations.
- Once
I have received cleared funds in full prepayment
of the
fee for the trip, the requested destination site may not be changed by
the requester.
- Once I
have received cleared funds in prepayment of
the fee
for the trip, no refunds or rebates are possible. There are no
guarantees or warranties of effect, outcome or performance regarding
these trips outside the fact that I will spend the requisite period of
time at the specified destination chosen by the requester.
- During the active part of any requested
Spiritual
Blessing
trip, I try to remain at the hotel that Divinity guided me to choose
for the stay, or within one or two miles of it, for the vast majority
of each day and night. I will rarely ever travel more than one or two
miles from the primary hotel, unless needed to procure food/meals or
other necessities.
- As
noted elsewhere on these pages describing my
Spiritual
Blessing trips, I primarily rest, meditate and sleep during the active
days of a trip, with each day punctuated by at least three meals and by
at least one or two walks in the area.
- It must be noted clearly that the requesting person
or
organization can have no expectation of control over how I spend my
time during my stay at the destination place, beyond the fact that I
will always do my best to adhere to the limits and conditions described
in the two items immediately above this one.
- For each requested Spiritual Blessing trip which has
been
approved
by Divinity and where the fee has been prepaid in full, where the total
fee is $26,000 or less, this entitles one person, either the requester
or a person designated by the requesting organization, if the request
was made by an organization, to spend up to two hours with me during
the trip at the destination place. For approved and fully prepaid
Spiritual Blessing trips where the prepaid fee was over $26,000, this
entitles one person, either the requester or a person designated by the
requesting organization, if the request was made by an organization, to
spend up to three hours with me during the trip at the destination
place. The exact site and time for any such meetings will be specified
by me. If the requester, or one or more persons chosen by the
requesting organization, wish(es) to spend more time with me during the
Spiritual Blessing trip, then please read the bulleted item below.
- Pursuant to the note appearing at
the end of the
bulleted
item
immediately above, if the requester, or one or more persons chosen by
the requesting organization, wish(es) to spend more time with me during
the Spiritual Blessing trip than described in that paragraph, then
please review the fees described in the section
entitled How
to Spend Darshan Time (Spiritual Vists) with Me During a Spiritual
Blessing Trip on the main page
devoted to the topic of the Spiritual Blessing trips.
If you have any questions regarding any of these
matters,
please feel free to contact me via email. You will find
my email address and my postal mailing address on my contact page.
