Our goal is freedom from bondage. Many of us are locked in by outworn traditions, erroneous educational conditioning, and by our own fears of the unknown. Each of us needs to discover the wonder of being a unique entity in a universe of entities. Each of us is something special and it is time we claim our birthright and be ourselves first, last, and always!

    There is a new paradigm emerging in world consciousness; the freedom to be holistic in every avenue of our awareness. It is not either/or; it is All is One. Science and religion are slowly awakening to the realization that every particle and wave in the universe contains the whole (holographic).

    Spirit is the microcosm, mesocosm, macrocosm and the pancosm. It is simply the Essence of the Universal One that can be experienced but not adequately explained in the language of words or symbols. These personal experiences are often characterized as mystical. Reading between the lines of the written word will intuitively become natural to you.

    Meditation, contemplation and silence are, encouraged since these are highways to soul experiences. As a starting point we may focus upon ordinary things, and go beyond the physical object to penetrate the object and find the source of its beauty, its form, and its very existence!

    Included here are 252 audio lessons and 102 six to eight page summary texts (PDF format) that can be viewed on screen or printed out. There is also a 22 page abbreviated glossary at the end the lesson section. Here you will find definitions of our most frequently used words.

    How to help you recognize awe-inspiring experiences, how to set the stage for their discovery, and how to increase your spiritual awareness is our purpose. The search for a beautiful way of life will allow you, literally, to roam everywhere for methods or techniques. We will share experiences of illumined mystics who found the way and have tried to convey its ineffability to others. We will ask questions about your state of being, your state of present living, and your state of becoming what you desire to be.

    Only by first discovering, the real worth of ourselves can we begin to share anything worthwhile with others. We can develop natural poise, self-confidence, and strength. Sharing, is an integral part of life and we want to share our spiritual insights with you.

    Every created thing is a starting point for illumination! Spirit resides outside and inside of us.

    We begin with our published books; three that are now available.

In addition to the Unity teachings, he studied other spiritual and mystical teachings, such as Rosicruianism, Self-Realization (Yogananda), Zen Buddhism, Sufism, Hinduism, and Taoism.
