Regardless of the name we give it, a new consciousness has arrived and is being felt everywhere, in countless different forms.

THE METAPHYSICS OF SUCCESSFUL THINKING - VOLUME I (CT-104/ 2.0 CH) Success is determined not by the size of one's brain as it is by the size of one's thinking. The size of bank accounts, the size of happiness accounts, and the size of one's general satisfaction account is dependent on the size of one's thinking. All of us are products of the thinking around us. All around us is an environment that is trying to tug us, try-ing to pull us down Second Class Street. We are told almost daily that there is a surplus of chiefs, so be content to be a little guy. The simple steps we have set down in this two volume course are not untested theories.

THE METAPHYSICS OF SUCCESSFUL THINKING - VOLUME II (CT-105/ 2.0 CH) The basic principles supporting this course come from the highest sources. Minds like the prophet David who wrote, "As one thinketh in his heart, so is he"; minds such as Emerson who said "Great men are those who see that thoughts rule the world"; minds like Milton who in Paradise Lost wrote, "The mind is its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven." Perceptive minds like Shakespeare who observed "There is nothing either good or bad except that thinking makes it so". But how do we know the master thinkers were right? The proof comes from the lives of the select people around us who, through winning success, achievement, and happiness, prove that thinking success works magic. The techniques in this two volume course are not untested theories. They are proven approaches to life's situations, and they are universally applicable steps that work and work like magic.

EXPANDING YOUR MIND POWER THROUGH MENTAL EXERCISE (CT-106/1.5 CH) Ancient cultures have concentrated on the study of the mind. The computer, the automobile, and all other great achievements started as an idea in somebody's mind. Unfortunately, most human misery also has their root in the mind. The wisdom of some of the brightest minds is concentrated into this 8-lesson crash course in mind power. The techniques described herein work like a charm. They are designed to put you in control of that 90% region of the mind that was off limits to most people. This course will give you a different attitude. It will turn you into the person that seems to "have all the luck." Only you know that luck has nothing to do with it. You're just using your brain (and all of it, too).

IMPROVING YOUR STUDY SKILLS (CT-107/4.0 CH) Your success at CMS will be determined by the interaction of several factors. These factors include your aptitude, your motivation, and your study and test taking skills. The first factor, aptitude, should be of little concern. If you have made it this far in school, CMS should not present any major barrier unless the remaining two factors, motivation and study skills, are lacking in development. Your motivation to successfully complete your studies is something that you and you alone must develop and maintain. Your ability to perform the aforementioned tasks will improve with the time you spend with CMS but there is no reason to learn these skills "the hard way." This 6-lesson course will assist you to find some excellent guidelines to help you develop your study and test taking skills. You may not require assistance in all of the study skills areas but it can be to your benefit to spend a little time and read the entire course.

Through processing, you can rid yourself of your reactive mind, (that portion of a person’s mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis, which is not under his or her volitional control or power of making a conscious decision and which exerts force and the power of command over his or her awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions) and the limitations it imposes. Our full potential can be realized. The potential is far higher than earlier practices and religions thought possible. The hardest road is the road that you walk alone. But the bridge that you build with your own hands is the most satisfying to walk upon. Here is a guidebook for those who would find their own way out of the trap. This is an introductory course in the sense that it will not assume that you have already engaged upon any particular course of study, but it is not really a beginner’s course. It will demand much of the reader and will pull no punches as far as introducing powerful and advanced concepts. This course includes a great deal of mental exercises and techniques. The theories will be intertwined with practical actions to clear yourself of mental barriers and irregularities and to regain abilities, awareness, and recall of your past existence. It goes far beyond anything that is available today and it requires nothing but hard work on your part. Since it is a teaching tool, you yourself will be an expert in the field once you have finished it.

RELIGION – THE CULTURAL BASIS FOR STUPIDITY (CT-109/1.0 CH) Culture is a means of behavioral organization by which some of the more advanced species learn to interact with their environments. As a cultural constant, in the case of humanity, stupidity is routinely transmitted from one generation to the next by the time-honored mechanism of the vicious cycle. Poorly adjusted children mature into maladjusted adults, and then using the same techniques their parents used on them to raise yet another generation of misinformed conformists or malcontented sociopaths. Whenever people hear the title of this course, the reaction is – a delayed smile and a nervous laugh – confirmation that we are dealing with a taboo topic. But, it seems that almost overnight stupidity has switched from taboo to fad. Some credit for this phenomenon is, in part, due to Forrest Gump and Beevis and Butthead. The focus of this 6-lesson course is not on the individual elements discussed – Religion, Ideology, Communication, Politics, Economics, Society, Technology, Art, etc – but on the way they work to produce a dysfunctional whole. Included What do we mean by stupidity?; What do we mean by culture?; The “Church”; Educating the masses; Cultural systems; The human condition; Conclusions.

It remained a secret, oral tradition known to very few until centuries later. The tradition of the Kabbalah is predominantly Jewish, but since the Renaissance humanists, philosophers, psychologists, and esotericists have seized on it with enthusiasm.

We are entering a new age, one of consciousness, which helps us to see through eyes opened wider than before. Truth is subjective, it changes frequently, and what we hold as truth today may not be tomorrow; for the level of consciousness we hold is the basis for the truth we express.

INTRODUCTION TO THE AQUARIAN AGE (EP-111/1.0 CH) We are the generation of a new era. Before us lies a period of stunning technological innovation, unprecedented economic opportunity, surprising political reform, and great cultural and educational rebirth. For centuries the monumental, symbolic date of 2000 has stood for the future and what we shall make of it. That future is now here. Already we have fallen under its dominion. It is amplifying emotions, accelerating change, heightening awareness, and compelling us to reexamine our values, our institutions, and ourselves.

A METAPHYSICAL VIEW OF THE AQUARIAN AGE (EP-112/2.0 CH) A remarkable change is taking place in our time. A holistic world view is penetrating our consciousness and superseding the rational materialism which is proving inadequate to explain our universe. We are recovering what was called the Ageless Wisdom of the ancient Mysteries, which knew that the Universe is Mind not mechanism, that the Earth is a sentient creature and not just dead mineral, that the human being is in essence spiritual, a droplet of Divinity housed in the temple of the body. This vision lifts the basic fear of death in our death-ridden culture. The vision of the spiritual nature of humanity and the universe brings the conviction that the human potential is unlimited and that we stand at the threshold over which a quantum leap in consciousness is possible. Cosmic consciousness, a blending of mind with Universal Mind, is being achieved and demonstrated by more and more people. This world picture by no means implies that we just sit back and let God do the job. Human initiative is the vital factor, but we are working with energies of life and being from the ocean of Divine Intelligence which can bring about change.

HEALING THROUGH EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL BALANCE (HA-107/1.0 CH) Any perfectly balanced machine runs more smoothly, uses less energy, and lasts longer than one which is out of balance. Our bodies are subject to the same principle. They wear out rapidly under friction, developing weaknesses which they would avoid if they were brought under the control of balanced emotions. This 5-lesson course is intended to point out those elements that make up the balanced personality so the individual can enjoy harmonious relations with others and with him/herself. This balanced harmony places us in a mental and emotional position where something larger, deeper, and more permanent can move into action, reproducing within us that which is forever in balance, thereby healing the illnesses caused by the friction of our former imbalance.

AN ESOTERIC APPROACH TO ENERGY AND THE HUMAN MIND (HA-109/1.5 CH) In this age of over specialization, with emphasis on chemistry, bacteriology, mechanical and surgical research, we have lost sight of the over-all picture of humanity as a living being. In this Aquarian energy field, ancient and modern science can meet. The present can be enriched by the experiences and understanding of the past. This 9-lesson course describes a rational therapy, with a wider range and a finer perspective of the actual energies operating in the body. The attention is directed to the finer energies in the body that constitute its breath of life, by which the soul functions in and through the body. The energy fields of the sensory and motor expressions, which are rivers of Life, must be used constructively in order to enter the One Life Center or Sun principle, out of which they flow and manifest as mind streams in order to relate consciousness to the world of matter.

CAN THE MIND REALLY HEAL? (HA-111/3.0 CH) One of life's constants is that change is inevitable. The universe reminds us to expand our vision beyond ourselves to see the bigger picture, so we can better appreciate that every circumstance, whether it's positive or negative, serves as an opportunity to strengthen our Spirit. As we approach this new day in treatment, have you done any reflecting and house cleaning of your mind or your body? Within each one of us is the capacity to create our own healing sanctuary.

THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS OF ENERGY HEALING (HA-112/3.0 CH) We live in a sea of energy. Radios, televisions, cellular phones, and wireless computer networks operate on unseen energy waves. Our bodies also operate within a human energy field. In an era when science is excelling in taking apart the cell, even to the genetic level, many are drawn to expand a way from the smallest parts to embrace a holistic approach to healing. People are discovering that they are capable of moving the energy within and around their bodies. They do this because they feel better, think better, and it improves their health. The fundamental rule in treating the body energetically is in treating the whole individual, taking into account experiences and environment. Every identifiable system in the body must be kept in balance, internally and externally to promote proper health and functionality. This 19-lesson course includes Introduction to energy healing; Common elements of healing techniques; Scientific support for energy healing; The psysio-emotional link; Energy exercises; The energy healing session; 21 energy healings techniques Energy; Hands of Light
ENERGY AND ALTERNATIVE HEALING FOR ANIMALS (HA-113/1.5 CH) Every day wherever Western ideologies are in place, little babies, disabled children, delinquents, old people, sick people, and animals are being treated with dominance reduction and behaviorism. We still give and withhold privileges to helpless individuals and animals. Through a change in consciousness, those who wish to heal can learn to change their reality and become a “healer”. If you have an animal whose behavior or temperament needs improving, if you are caring for an older animal that's in pain, if you want injuries and surgery to heal more quickly, then you can use this course in energy and alternative healing for Animals.

THE SCIENTIFIC AND RELIGIOUS BASIS OF SPIRITUAL HEALING (HA-114/4.0 CH) Scientific studies demonstrate that individuals who participate in organized religion are healthier and live longer. Religion promotes health through social mechanisms and something called spiritual healing. Spiritual healing contributes to a sense of well-being through a mysterious force called life-force energy. The aim is to help the person to get in closer touch with the infinite wisdom of their body/mind and to make best use of the resources available for healing from within. The question is, what is it and why does it work? Today there is a growing interest in, awareness of, and knowledge about spiritual healing. Physicists and other scientists are beginning to put together a body of information showing the validity of what the spiritual teachers have taught all along. This 20-lesson course, investigates the scientific and religious basis for spiritual healing and the many modalities used by the worlds religions and belief systems. Perhaps the life-force energy referred to by medical and spiritual traditions throughout history represents the answer. Is it the energy referred to as prana in India and Tibet, mana by the Polynesians, Yesad in the Jewish Kabalistic tradition, qi in oriental medicine, the Christian Holy Spirit or the cosmic unity of the Shaman? Included Has science found God; The science of prayer and healing; Psychology and spiritual healing; Psychotherapy; Spiritual healing and Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Shamanism, Hinduism, Buddhism (including Ayurveda healing, Pranic healing and Yoga).
THE METAPHYSICS OF SPIRITUAL HEALING (HA-115/2.5 CH) Spiritual awakening is actually experiencing the unlimited source of love, peace and abundance. But most people do not know how to achieve this or they are convinced these realities are beyond their abilities. The only difference between those who are spiritually enlightened and those who are not is the decision to think outside the normal realm. Open your mind to the fact that there may be forces at work in this universe that may or may not be beyond our human comprehension. By embracing our own divinity, we can regain our power and lose the feeling of separation. The simple fact is, behind it all is ONE underlying truth, ONE principle, ONE energy. Our greatest individuating human characteristic, the gift of free will or choice. Do you choose to experience fear or love? It is a choice that only YOU can make. If this resonates with you, next comes the big question. Now what? When you experience these truths, you own them. The next step is to incorporate these experiences into your life. That is when YOUR reality will change.

Spirits walked. Healings were being done. Weather was being controlled. There were practitioners who could call fish to the shore. Telepathic messages were being sent and received. Huna is primarily an experience rather than an intellectual pursuit though all aspects of self and reality are honored and harmonized the mind the body and the spirit are given equal weight and harmonizing the three selves is of major importance in Huna. It is a powerful and transforming system of practices, teachings, philosophy, energy work, magic and more.

Natural Healing Arts Studies
Note Nothing in these courses should be construed as diagnosing, prescribing or treating disease. They are presented for education only. We must legally warn you that if you are ill, have any disease, are pregnant or nursing; you should consult your medical doctor before attempting any natural or herbal program.
INTRODUCTION TO NATURAL HEALING (HA-116/2.5 CH) Even though chemical drugs that relieve symptoms appear to be a cure, the underlying cause of illness is not addressed. Patients are not asked to change the faults in their lifestyle that created their condition. Since the cause of the disease is not dealt with, the condition continues to grow and flourish within them, often unnoticed. But eventually it resurfaces with a vengeance. Drugs chemically alter cells, tissues, organs, and the normal function of your body, making it appear to function normally, when it is actually still sick. While this deception is going on you appear to be healthy while all the time your condition worsens, grows, and eventually kills you. Our bodies are composed of around one hundred trillion cells. Each cell has a blueprint for the whole organism; the form and function that each new cell will have. This is determined by a field of spirit or intelligence that is working backstage behind the physical cells. This is called innate intelligence. Innate intelligence (or Higher Power) is the real "doctor." Only our bodies can heal, and they do it continually. No human can do what the body does on an ongoing basis. This is "natural healing." Included in this 13 lesson course Frequently asked questions; Why use Natural Healing therapies; 155 Natural and Alternative healing modalities; The Ideology of Natural Healing; 6 lessons of Natural Health and Wellness; 3 lessons of The Human Body and symptoms of dis-ease. The course also contains a glossary of over 1,500 Natural and Alternative healing words and phrases.
NATURAL HEALING - BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT (HA-117/3.5 CH) The natural healing arts have been with us for ages, and can often be very powerful - the natural approach is the opposite of ordinary medicine. Ordinary medicine is invasive. It treats the body as a mechanical system with parts which can be poisoned, removed, or replaced if they malfunction. Natural approaches restore vitality so that the body can heal itself through its own healing resources. It is a non-medical, non-invasive approach to healing. The cause of healing is always due to a personal strengthening and normalizing caused by changing the internal environment, physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - an increase in life forces. The natural approach starts there. When the whole person is restored to balance health challenges disappear because their cause is removed. The human mind, body and soul are designed to be self healing. The natural, holistic approach teaches us how to cooperate with that process, and gives us powerful, positive, and natural ways to take care of our health.

Certainly herbs have their place as self-help for minor infections, coughs, colds, catarrh, stomach upsets, indigestion, constipation and so on. The wealth of information that abounds today about herbs is enabling people to make increasingly informed decisions about the specific remedies they choose to self-administer. Those who are attracted to trying herbal medicine in one form or another are often people with a respect for the miraculous world of nature, or they may simply be referred to a remedy or a practitioner by personal recommendation. It is interesting that as gardening continues to be one of the most popular leisure pursuits in this country, even if as a city dweller one only has a patio, balcony or window box, people are increasingly growing herbs. Fascinated not only by their attractive shapes and colors, delicious tastes and often wonderful scents, there is something that people find about growing or being among herbs in the garden that has a subtle healing effect of its own.

NATURAL HEALING - HOMEOPATHY (HA-123/8.0 CH) Homeopathy is a system of medicine that views symptoms as the body's attempt to fight infection and/or adapt to stress. Symptoms are viewed as the "language" of disease, rather than seen as separate entities to be suppressed. Homeopaths work WITH these symptoms rather than against them by seeking a remedy which imitates the body's symptoms, thereby stimulating the natural immune response. Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, or the principle that "like cures like." That is to say, a substance that in large amounts causes certain symptoms in a healthy individual can be used in small amounts to cure those symptoms in a sick individual. Homeopathic medicines are made from plant, mineral, and some animal substances and they ARE NOT the same as herbal remedies. Homeopathic remedies must undergo a prescribed series of dilutions and succusions (agitations) to arrive at a certain potency. The potency used in any disease picture depends on many factors, including duration and severity of symptoms, the level of disease and the patient's energy level or life force.

NATURAL HEALING - HOMEOPATHY FOR CHILDREN (HA-124/5.5 CH) Homeopathy is becoming very popular for treating a wide range of children's illnesses. Parents are frequently finding conventional medicine failing to treat their child's illness. Homeopathy should be considered as a gentle and safe system of healing that encourages the body to heal itself without causing addiction or toxicity. A homeopathic remedy contains a high energized but dilute substance that stimulates the body's own healing centre, activating defense systems to drive out the illness. It redresses balance to the body boosting the immune system and a person's general well being too. Emotional disorders such as autism, hyperactivity, grief, anxiety and depression can also be successfully treated with homeopathy as well as behavioral problems such as temper tantrums, bullying and physical behavior. One of the main advantages of choosing homeopathy is that it boosts the child's immune system reducing the risk of future illnesses.

All forms of alternate systems of medicine derived their growth from naturopathy. It has developed into a regular science and now many thousands of people in many countries are being benefited by it. Naturopathy is a system of therapy and treatment that relies exclusively on natural remedies, such as sunlight, air, water, supplemented with diet and therapies like massage. It is based on the belief that the body will repair itself and recover from illness if it is in a healthy environment. Naturopaths have many remedies and recommendations for creating a healthy environment so the body can heal itself. Moreover, allopathy medicines have their harmful after effects so it is wiser to try other methods, which do not harm the patient. A person suffering from a disease wants to be rid of the malady. The desire to fight disease is at the root of all systems of medicine, which promise cures. But people use drugs and medicine indiscriminately without regard to their harmful effects at the cost of permanent injury. Naturopaths are not discouraged if the process of healing is prolonged because they know that the healing aggravation would intercede and quicken the pace of healing. They never interfere with the aggravation through the medium of drugs.

NATURAL HEALING - NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE (HA-126/7.0 CH) Nutritional medicine is simply the application of known principles of biochemistry applied to the clinical setting. Instead of treating symptoms with a quick fix patent drug, nutritionists endeavor to understand the underlying process and then augment the body's own ability to repair and reinvigorate itself. Nutritional medicine is the practice of repairing the body's faltering defense with macro and micronutrients that are native to your own biochemistry. Therefore, the use of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and the like are used to strengthen the body's own enzyme systems. In essence, we derive the formula Let your food and nutrients be your drugs.

NATURAL HEALING - VIBRATIONAL THERAPY (HA-127/7.0 CH) From the inner visionary experiences of mystics to the outer measurements of modern scientists and metaphysicians, an increasing body of evidence has been accumulated that demonstrates that all organisms are composed of and dependent upon a subtle vital force.

Practitioners of Vibrational Medicine believe that the health or illness of an individual originates at subtle energetic levels. These levels, known as auric, vibratory or bioenergetic fields, influence cellular patters of growth and physical expression. If these energy systems, or vibratory fields, become imbalanced, there may be resulting pathological symptoms which manifest on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes. Through numerous diagnostic, manipulative and energetic techniques vibrational therapists are able to reprogram and reeducate the physical body into becoming more resilient, coordinated, flexible and suitably responsive in order to resist disease and lessen stress.

THE ANCIENT ART OF SCRYING (IA-109/1.5 CH) The word scrying comes from the Anglo Saxon “descry” which means 'reveal'. Practitioners of the art use a transparent globe or a reflective surface which acts as a focus for the viewing of visions. Just what they see varies, for some, the images are as realistic as film, for others, they are much more abstract. Many objects can be used as a focus, most commonly mirrors, crystals, incense, flames or liquids. However, a magnifying glass or the back of a watch are said to yield good results too. When most people think of scrying, they imagine crystal balls which certainly have a magical appeal. Anyone can pay for their fortune to be told, but with a little practice it is far more interesting to do it yourself. This fully illustrated 8-lesson course has been written with the beginner in mind. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary for the reader to possess. Before you successfully enter the realm of the paranormal, you must leave behind the fantasies and superstitions you have learned to associate with its nature.

Those of the Indigo, crystal and star generations will have no difficulty in adapting to the kind of mental posititivity necessary to channel their own mental energy in this way. Using your psi or intuitive abilities involves pushing back the frontiers of belief.

THE METAPHYSICAL USE OF MIND AND ENERGY (IA-110/4.0 CH) – REVISED EDITION (Formerly HA-101) There are many theories of what the mind is and how it works, dating back to the ancient Greek philosophers. Pre-scientific theories, which were rooted in theology and the soul, the supernormal or divine essence of the human person. Modern theories, based on a scientific understanding of the brain, see the mind as a phenomenon of psychology. The question of which human attributes make up the mind is also in question. Some argue that only the "higher" intellectual functions constitute mind. In this view the emotions are more "primitive" or subjective in nature and should be seen as different. Others argue that the rational and the emotional sides of the human person cannot be separated. To learn more about the mind, we must learn something about ourselves first. We must understand our own human nature and supernormal powers before we can put our minds to work. It is access to this knowledge that is studied in this course. Take it. Study it.

DISCOVERING THE TRUE SELF (ID-106/1.5 CH) Do you want to meet a wonderful person? Try getting acquainted with yourself! We are not the thoughts that flood our minds, but we are the Thinkers that use the thoughts to create. That's our legacy. That's what we were meant to be. Unfortunately, many are still trapped in their thoughts. They don't realize they are the Thinker and not the thoughts. They allow their thoughts to control them instead of them controlling their thoughts. This is a recipe for disaster because our thoughts are created by things and events that we have no control of. Therefore, if we allow ourselves to drift in the tide of our thoughts, we will have no control over our destination. We must reclaim our True Self, The Thinker, and analyze our thoughts as they appear. We must be critical thinkers, tossing aside every useless or negative thought while using every positive thought to bring us nearer to our full potential. This 7-lesson course examines all of this and much more.

THE ALCHEMY OF BALANCE (ID-107/2.0 CH) Matter exists only because the human seed creates it. The human seed, the original man, created matter in order to evolve the soul. Man also has the ego and free will to help this process. When we confuse the body and material possessions with the true self, which are not separate from the Divine, we become the slaves of circumstance. The circumstances of chaos and disharmony leave us disconnected and imbalanced. Only through conscious choice to create balance will we begin the journey back to our realization of our interconnectedness with God(dess). In this course you will learn tools for becoming conscious of your own life, your own perceptions of its imbalances and strive to create a path toward balance. The process of correction will allow you to see your conscious thoughts and actions creating the circumstances of your life. Because life is dynamic and inevitably changing, a life of complete and continuous balance is not the goal. Like the pendulum of a clock, there is potential on either extreme and it passes only momentarily through the middle. Similarly, a satellite spends much of its orbiting life off-course and constantly corrected. In the big picture, it fulfills its purpose. This is a journey, not a destination. This 11-lesson course includes What is Balance?; The Physical Level; The Mental Level; The Spiritual Level; The Emotional Level; Interconnections; Business and Career as a Mirror; Learning Consciousness; Opportunities for Creating Balance; Conclusion.

THE METAPHYSICAL APPROACH TO LIFE'S CHALLENGES (ME-103/3.0 Credit Hours) Living with the challenges and frustrations of modern life exacts a higher toll than inflation.

THE AQUARIAN APPROACH TO HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS (ME-104/3.0CH) We are in the midst of a great evolutionary change. Every social mechanism, including relationships, eventually becomes outmoded and must be replaced by a new model more suited to the task. Unfortunately, we often relate negatively and do not connect. While working ineffectively on "building" a relationship, we end up tearing it down! Most of us forget that the primary cause in relationship is in the mind. So we rely too much on physical interaction. We demand, "Be with me. Live with me. Then I will know that our relationship is REAL." "Buy us a house – and then I will know that our love is true!" It is important to realize that such arrangements cannot insure true relationship, or true closeness. Clearly, people who rely highly on physical contact will not necessarily be found to have a good relationship, or a better relationship, just because physical contact has occurred.

WHICH WAY SHALL I GO? (ME-105/1.0CH) As we enter this new millennium, we can sense a growing excitement, an unusual expectation for new beginnings. Within the great Divine Plan for all life, there is magnificent planning and order for each expression of the Creator‘s life in every dimension. In our dimension of time and space, each new day has a momentum and a Divine Plan held in the Realms of Light (Cause) that can be accessed and put into the World of form. As we begin to accept our Oneness, our Unity with the Higher Power, all our fears and misgivings will be recognized as just that, and the new potentials held within our divine Reality will begin to flourish within us. This new beginning is a strengthening time, a developing time for each of us as we prepare for the new century, and it can affect every phase of our life experience, for each one is a part of the whole of who we are. We cannot separate ourselves from the expressions of our families, our careers, our health, our hopes and dreams, for these are all part of who we are, who we have chosen to be. We can, however, change how the expression is in our lives. Wherever there is any infirmity, any failing or fault, there is a new condition available to us, an opposite potential that we can create in our lives through the power of our thoughts and feelings. Included The third millennium; Documenting the unfolding Divine Plan; Where your attention is – there you are; Jump start for the ascension process; Ending the poverty consciousness; How do I fit in?; What now?

God is identified within us all as the Divine Truth. Every authentic mystic, every illumed metaphysician, every spiritual practitioner knows that both the beliefs of metaphysics and Christianity recommend union of self with God, the attainment of Christhood as Christians name it and the Christ Consciousness as Metaphysicians call it.

It is difficult to define, but for purposes of briefly introducing it to non-philosophers, it can be identified as the study of any of the most fundamental concepts and beliefs, on which many other concepts and beliefs rest - concepts such as being, existence, universal, property, relation, causation, space, time, event, and many others. While physics is the attempt to discover the laws that govern fundamental concrete objects, metaphysics is the attempt to discover the laws that systematize the fundamental abstract objects presupposed by physical science, such as natural numbers, real numbers, functions, sets and properties, physically possible objects and events, to name just a few. The goal of metaphysics, therefore, is to develop a formally precise systematization of these abstract objects. This 12-lesson courses sketches the evolution of what we shall call metaphysical philosophy from the age of Aristotle to the New Age. The Course includes The multiple meanings of metaphysics; the evolution of metaphysical philosophy from ancient Greece to the New Age; religion, spirituality and mysticism; the spiritual, the mystical and the occult from psychism to hauntings.
THE NEW AGE ENTREPRENEUR (ME-110/3.0 CH) What is spirituality in the workplace? There’s a wide range of important perspectives. Some would say that it’s simply embodying their personal values of honesty, integrity, and good quality work. Others would say it’s treating their co-workers and employees in a responsible, caring way. For others, it’s participating in spiritual study groups or using prayer, meditation, or intuitive guidance at work. And for some, it’s making their business socially responsible in how it impacts the environment, serves the community or helps create a better world. Many in our secular society actively pursue a personal spiritual journey without being associated with any formal religion. Thus, while one may derive a sense of spirituality from religious practices, such practice is not requisite to the spiritual experience. We invite you to examine the material in this 8-lesson course without spiritual or religious bias – understand that what is spiritual for one may be religious for another. The course includes Spiritual Diversity; Spirituality in Business; Is Spirituality in Business Viable or Not?; Being Spiritual; What do we Mean by Spirituality; Spiritual Leadership; Business Ethics and Integrity; Personal Spiritual Practices; Applying Your Spiritual Values; Starting a Business Checklist.
GET WHAT YOU WANT THROUGH VISUALIZATION (ME-111/1.5 CH) If our brains were computers, our hard drive would be full! In the midst of this clutter we carry around. If we don’t name and narrow what we want, our dreams just become wishes that float around in our head, taking up space. Using the power of visualization properly will get you what you want. Clarifying visions and dreams, setting goals and objectives and visualization are nothing more than amusing mental exercises unless and until you take action. You just have to DO something, consistently, massively and creatively to make your dreams come true. Then after all this, you must learn to respond to feedback. This is one practice that is so simple yet so overlooked. Is what you are doing working, moving toward your goals and dreams? If it is, keep doing it and perhaps do it even more. It it’s not working, be smarter than you are stubborn and find something else that does work. Keep doing until you find what works. This 4-lesson course includes Introduction to Visualization; Mind Over Matter; How Dreams Become Reality; Twelve Steps To Mind Power; The Road To Success. The 11-visualizations are How the West Was Won; Peace River; Cash Flow; Love Connection; Lighten Up; Picture of Health; Drowning Anger; Controlling Fear; Thinner Winner; Image Shining; Painting Peace.
SPIRITUAL METAPHYSICS FOR THE QUESTIONING MIND (ME-112/4.0 CH) The purpose of this course is to present practical methods through which you may realize your ideals, cause your cherished dreams to come true, and cause the visions of your soul to become tangible realities in everyday life. The demand for instructive knowledge on this subject, that is simple as well as scientific, is universal. This course has been compiled to supply that demand. However, it does not claim to be complete; nor could any work on realizing your ideals be complete, because the ideal world is limitless and the process of making real the ideal is endless. To know how to begin is the secret, and those who have learned this secret may go on until they reach the most sublime heights that endless existence has in store. We have selected the best ideas and methods known for making the ideal real, and through this work, will place them in your hands. We do not ask you to follow these methods; we simply ask you to use them. You will find them to be practical; you will find that they will work and produce the results you desire. You will then, not only make real the ideal in your present sphere of life, but you will also develop within yourself that Greater Life, the power of which has no limit, the joy of which has no end.

The world is in great peril, and the two biggest factors that need to be corrected (and can be) are human overpopulation (with the resultant destruction of Nature), and myth based customs from our past (rather than truth) that cause errors in our thinking and behavior (and which ultimately lead to conflict). It is this second problem, of the errors in human knowledge, that philosophy makes its bus
