A Note from the TMS Editor
TRANSCEND News, 16 Mar 2026
Antonio C. S. Rosa | Editor - TRANSCEND Media Service
Dear friends, readers, supporters of TMS,
16 Mar 2026 – With a heavy heart, I acknowledge that our Weekly Digest today is shorter and lacking, and I explain. Last Saturday, I was in a Lufthansa flight from Delhi to Porto with a stopover in Frankfurt. However, between Delhi and Frankfurt, instead of flying on its usual straight line, it had to make a long curve over the south Mediterranean/North Africa to bypass the bombs and missiles from Trump’s war on Iran in the Middle East. It arrived over two hours late, after an 11-hour flight, and I missed my flight to Porto having to stay overnight in Frankfurt. I arrived home yesterday, Sunday, sick and exhausted with the scoliosis in my column hurting as hell.
I had contracted some stomach virus and was utterly unable to finish my work on the WD. Today, Mon, I shall see a doctor. I apologize and despite the rather extenuating circumstances, I beg your understanding and forgiveness; I was supposed to have arrived home Sat night.
I promise our writers that next week I shall publish their pieces and hope to return to normal. Thank you.
In peace,
Antonio C. S. Rosa, TMS editor

Message to Professor Antonio Carlos Silva Rosa
Dear Professor Antonio Rosa
I was truly saddened to read of the ordeal you endured on your long and diverted journey home from Delhi, and even more so to learn that you arrived exhausted, in pain, and unwell. The curved flight path over North Africa to avoid the unfolding conflict, the missed connection in Frankfurt, and the night spent in transit would have strained even the healthiest traveller, let alone someone coping with scoliosis and the onset of a stomach virus.
Please do not burden your heart with apologies. The circumstances you faced were extraordinary, and no one who knows your dedication to TMS, or your decades of unwavering commitment to peace, would ever expect more than the human limits of fatigue and illness allow.
Your health, wellbeing, and strength matter far more than any Weekly Digest, which we all treasure. The global TMS family stands with you, not in judgement, but with full understanding, compassion, and gratitude.
As you see your doctor today, I pray that you receive the care and relief you urgently need. May your body recover gently, may your pain subside, and may you regain your energy in the days ahead. Please give yourself permission to rest deeply and generously, you have earned that grace many times over.
If there is anything I can do to assist you or support TMS during this period, I am here, literally a mobile away.
Wishing you a swift recovery, steady healing, and the peace you have devoted your life to spreading across the world.
With warm regards and heartfelt concern,
We pray that the Supreme Divine, grants Professor Rosa, complete and expedient healing with full functionality subsequent to all the blessings from Delhi.
In total solidarity and friendship

Blessing in Portuguese “Que a luz serena da paz envolva o teu corpo cansado,
Que cada dor se dissolva como neblina ao nascer do sol,
E que a cura te visite suavemente, passo a passo,
Restituindo-te o vigor, a esperança e a serenidade.
Que o sopro divino te acompanhe,
Que a força interior te sustente,
E que a paz que ofereces ao mundo
Retorne agora para ti, multiplicada.”
