My Beloved Father, Guru, Teacher, Avatar, High Servant of the Creator of All That Is, Incarnation of Love Itself (even Your entrance date into this life was 5/28, the frequency of Love), Most Precious William, all our Holy Lineages of this and countless lifetimes, and dear Mother Alma: my heart and soul bow to You for Your Presence in my life that is like a candle flame ever-lit. Before the world's were I have loved You and this love goes on infinitely and endlessly in this eternal NOW. On the 8th Day of March, 2024, You entered Maha Samadhi on the sacred evening of Maha Shivaratri, Dearest Father William. This is a most holy time in the cosmos of deep connection to Source that You have taught. The "8th Day" is a profound teaching I was present to hear, that also became Your logo and represents freedom. Thank you for the blessing of Your Wisdom teachings, guidance and much more I hear You whisper to me even now, Beloved Father William. Your Oneness connection to Christ Yeshua (Who some call Jesus), to Earth, all souls on Earth, and All That Is, Beloved Father William, is inspiring to all who have been blessed to know You, to sit in Your Holy Presence, or hear Your teachings of deep Mysteries of Life, of No Way as Way. I still hear You saying "There's only ever One of us here; I AM sustained by the Love of God; God is Love; You have never left the Heart of God, you are only dreaming you have," and the mantra You gave us once: "I AM a prayer out of God's Heart to bless humanity." Yes, You are. You embody everything You ever taught. Even our Beloved Christ Yeshua's highest teaching: There is no death, You daily prove to me through Your Presence with me still. Bless You for that, dear Father. You teach us that we are in the blessing business, and to BE a blessing in this Earth School Curriculum of Love and beyond. Dear Father William, May the blessing You have been, still are, and forever will be to All That Is return to You infinitely and endlessly without measure, in the Holy, Mighty Name of Christ Yeshua. May the Blessings Be! Shelah. With all the Love that birthed Love, Kimberly, and Long, Lucienne, Celine Nghiem, family.

It was my great honour and privilege to meet Bill and Alma in Toronto in 2013. Bill was this most loving, caring and fatherly figure. You never felt judged when you spoke to him. He had a special way to speak to my young son and to fascinate him about the spiritual truth and wisdom. I was sad to hear about his sudden passing. I know God has a special place for him, a place that is reserved for the pure hearted and rare humans! May his soul be blessed.

My heart sank upon hearing the news of William's passing. Though I know his journey continues as a great and gifted soul, I always thought that I would see him again and be able to soak up his pure, humble, wise, and inspiring essence and more. I cannot imagine how beloved Alma and all those close to him are coping with the loss of his physical presence and I send my deepest love and condolences.
I will do my best to honor William's life by moving toward his level of humility, dedication, and unconditional service. I am forever grateful for his presence in my life and the moments that we shared. Thank you, William. Love you Alma. May you be blessed with the deep peace that I know you both shared in your faithful hearts.

Heartfelt condolences to the family, as I personally experienced the great love of Bill even when miles apart, or grabbing a few minutes between meetings. The deep caring I felt for someone he met only a few times - so rare, so genuine, so greatly needed.

Bill and Alma touched my heart deeply when they opened their hearts and home for me to stay with them when I had not even met them before while attending a retreat of Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha in Atlanta, Georgia. This deeply move me and has stayed with me to this day.
Bill moved me many times over the years. I am grateful for every interaction and the time spent with Bill and Alma.

SAINT on EARTH
My Heart and Soul Will Forever Be Deeply Grateful to Bill Thomas For this Soul Life and Beyond This Life.
Bill Thomas was a friend, mentor family and to me a Divine Saint in human form. I was very very blessed, my was very son, my family, our communities, the Mission, and wan ling was very blessed to have such a special extraordinary human being and soul walking amongst us.
Master Bill William Thomas´ Divine Tao Source preacher´s soul was deeply connected to Heaven, the Pure land and Spiritual Realms in a way that few amongst us could access and truly see and hear.
This is because his heart and soul had such love, purity, integrity and wisdom. He did not need to speak a loud for this to be felt or known.
Bill simply IS.
I love you Master Bill William Thomas and I love you Alma and all your family, and the souls you have served with TOTAL GOLD.
May We and the Heavens continue to honour, remember and celebrate your Soul Light forever.
Humbly and gratefully your friend and sister

My deepest condolences to Alma, and the Boykin and Thomas families and everyone else whose lives William touched. I enjoyed a number of years as William's student, and loved attending his classes. Although there was usually an agenda for each class, William always followed his inner guidance, and wherever spirit moved him to go, he followed without hesitation. Those unexpected journeys into other realms and dimensions were filled with some of the most mind-blowing teachings, and modeled for us what a deep connection to spirit and trusting in our spiritual path looked like. I remember William's bright smile, sense of humor, and devotion to being of service to others in this mundane world. His relationship with beautiful Alma also modeled for us what a spiritual relationship could be. I feel so fortunate to have been the beneficiary of his wisdom and blessings. He was an extraordinary man who had a huge impact in this world, and he will be deeply missed.
Much Love and Light to you William!

I am blessed to have been a student of William. His spiritual channels were wide open. His teachings expanded my horizons and the way that I see the world. William had deep love for his students and his compassionate teachings were always well received. He taught us to bring positivity to everything including the way we view ourselves. I am grateful for his teachings and will never forget everything I learned from him. I send my sincere condolences to Alma and William's extended family.
Much love,

I send my heartfelt condolences to Alma and the family during this time.
Bill was an extraordinary soul with a heart that resonated love, purity, integrity and great wisdom. You did not have to know him up close to realize just to stand next to him, you were next to someone deeply connected to Divine, heaven and beyond. His soul was aware of so much that we could not see.
He touched many with his presence, his words, his guidance and yet it did not stop there. It will not stop there. His soul will continue to expand and touch many - not only here on Mother Earth but in many different realms.
Thank you beloved Bill for being a part of our lives. Thank you Alma for sharing your love and light with Bill to all of us. May the love and light from Divine shine upon you and the family during this time. May the love and light of Bill's heart and soul continue to nourish you always.
In deepest love and gratitude,
Cynthia Deveraux

My greatest condolence to Alma and the family. What a great loss not just to the family but also many communities around the world whose lives have been touched by him. William was such an extraordinary soul. He had such an incredible loving, compassionate, divine presence. iHis light, wisdom, humor, joy, kindness, loving compassion, service and more have been such gifts for many of us and to the world. I feel so blessed to have met him and receive his guidances during the retreats. I will always remember his warm kindness, and his beautiful and shining eyes that can see deeply through our hearts, souls, true selves and divinity. I will always remember his kind voices and wise words that speak directly to our hearts and souls. He probably did not realize how his kind words, actions, and presence have helped so many of us. I am truly grateful to have met him and Alma.

I wish to send my condolences to Alma and the family of Bill Thomas. I was a student of Bill Thomas. He was a great giant of a man. A powerful and beautiful and compassionate soul. He was a great servant. He gave unconditionally and served me and many of us in Florida, and so many many souls. He helped me so much on my soul journey that I have always remembered Bill and thanked him in my heart many times throughout the years silently in my prayers. I will always continue to keep Bill Thomas in my prayers and in my heart. Thank you Bill, for all you have done for all the many many souls you have uplifted in your life. May your soul now fly free with God.

Dearest Alma, Family and Friends,
Even as I write this congratulations to us for having the chance to experience William a drop from my eye reminds me of his story of those who collect tears in heaven. While I'm not sure if he will still chop wood and carry water or just grow tomatoes, I believe he will be more immersed in the mystery of all life. It was such an honor to connect with William. May we each have peace and gratitude in our hearts. Love to all at this time and always!

William Thomas (along with Alma) is such a presence and inspiration for my wife Amy and me. I had the privilege of meeting them in my home in September 2015 for a Divine Healing Hands (now Tao Hands) introduction and then at retreats they led in the Washington DC area in spring 2016 and summer 2018, with follow-up instruction and readings. The spiritual guidance I received was uncannily spot on and impactful. I'm very grateful for his presence in my life and service to humanity. My condolences to his family and others he no doubt touched very deeply.

Dear William, Alma, and Family,
It is not very often that you meet a soul like William. My life was made so much better by William. He showed me that loving others is the purpose of life. William showed me about Service. He showed me how to respect others´ space and soul journeys. Yet, he reminded us to be present. He would often tell the story about how he would be excited to tell beautiful Alma his experiences, and she would listen, then remind him to take out the trash. We all got a kick out of that story! Lastly, William prayed for my daughter when she was in college. I feel strongly that he was a huge part of her becoming a doctor. I will miss you, beloved William. I send my greatest love to beautiful Alma and your family. I will never forget what a special soul William was and continues to be. I hope the garden in Heaven grows tasty tomatoes! Love to your family, Justine Wald

I am so sorry of hear of his transition. He was very kind to me. I enjoyed his classes in Atlanta and spending time with him and his wife in Hawaii. I will always remember his gentle demeanor and his warm smile. The earth is a better place for having had him be a part of it!!!

My children and I offer our most heartfelt condolences to Alma, the Boykin and Thomas families, and the worldwide community of colleagues, teachers, students, neighbors, and friends who have all been touched by the grace of William Charles Thomas, a giant among men. I am one of his students. I don't remember when or how we first met, but it is as if he was always there in my life. I honor and esteem his wife and him.

It has been a great privilege to have been a student of William Thomas. I learned and evolved so much as a human being because of him. He and his wife were extraordinary mentors to me and I will be forever thankful for the blessings that were bestowed on my life and I know on countless other lives. Anyone that had the privilege to be in William´s company, especially while he was imparting teachings, wisdom and blessings , knew that they were with a very special soul. I send my highest gratitude to William Thomas and thank him for life well served . May he fly and soar in the highest Heavenly realms and feel the love that will be sent his way. I offer my sincere condolences to his lovely wife and family . William will continue to live on in our hearts. Sincerely, Claudia Thompson
