Understanding the world is the basis of our conventional education system. The self is the fundamental character in the play of life. The experience is not the primary thing. Understanding the self is the beginning of spiritual life. You reach a deeper realization of life when you reach this deeper level of self-realization.

You will in this module.

• Become aware of the roles and interaction of these 3 expressions of Self
• Distinguish between the Ego and the Self
• Align the Self more clearly with the authentic power of the timeless Higher Self
• Align the Self with understanding how to anchor yourself in timelessness, yet exist in time

We can better understand the world around us through exploring yogic teachings. You will learn how to live in greater integration with natural intelligence and how to be in higher and higher potentiality on this planet. You will learn how to be a positive impact in your daily life and how to have access to infinite resourcefulness.

Well-rounded development is promoted by exploring fundamental yogic practices. In our spiritual practice, we tend to give importance to one faculty over another. We will talk about practice in a moreholistic way so that you don’t ignore any aspect of your being. There is nothing that is not yoga in your life.

You will in this module.

The human mind is conditioned to learn through comparison. When there is no problem, we try to solve the problem through the mind. We will look at how you create this trap. As you begin to step out of your mind, you can see the unity between the masculine and feminine. It’s a part of the same that it seems opposite from the point of view of the mind. The purpose and potential of the divine limitless being will be explored.

You will in this module.

• Discover how to balance the sword and the lotus, stillness and dynamism, the masculine and feminine — and how to activate each of them when needed
• Understand the yogic perspective on the divine masculine and divine feminine
• Find out how to harmonize the sacred masculine and feminine within the psyche
• Integrate and use the sacred masculine and feminine in ways that help you realize their highest potential

The essential meaning of karma, and how the three levels of karmic conditioning limit us, will help us identify and go beyond karmic conditioning to more evolutionary living. The act of karma leads to bondage. Kriya is an action that leads to expansion. In tune with divine destiny, dharma is expansive living with a sense of purpose. You will shift from narrowness to dharma.

Life is held in the grip of karma. A true yogi moves from linear to vertical time and from the positionality of living as an effect to living as cause. Understanding the nature and aspects of time and karma is a key aspect of yoga.

You will in this module.

• Identify how fear keeps us logged into karma
• Understand the conditioning that binds us

• Move from attachment/narrowness to expansiveness/purposeful living
• Understand the continuity of evolutionary practice
• Investigate every stage of consciousness and its associated shadows, and how to use kriya to transcend them

There is a lot of confusion surrounding the word. Finding a guru is an essential part of the yogic path. We will look at what the word guru means, the importance of a living guru, and how to connect with the formless guru.

We will look at how to build sacred relationships, how to heal the society at large, and how to move from cultural to spiritual sangha. The individual is the most important factor of the holy trinity and it is important to recognize your own radical responsibility. If we want to walk the spiritual path, we need to get in touch with the rebel inside. All spiritual beings are not nice.

You will in this module.

• Shed light on the yogic understanding of the role and purpose of a guru

• Come to identify and unite with the guru within and without
• Discover how to create sacred relationships and a sacred family
• Understand radical individual responsibility
• Identify the pitfalls/traps of the mind and how to transcend them
• Master the art of aloneness in your role as a spiritual warrior

Our mind and ego make us use our spiritual practices as diversions from our divine nature. We will look at the eternal now which includes all dimensions of time. A true yogi is always present in the here and now and doesn’t strive for a future realization.

People who come to the spiritual path often have great experiences in the beginning, but then they hit a point where they don’t want to go anymore. Our life can be a continuous expression of evolution if we avoid this waiting pattern. The nature of nature makes it necessary for individuals to evolve like the universe. This is the experience of being alive.

You will in this module.

• Identify what you’re really seeking so you can move from seeker to discoverer
• Move from “then” to “now”
• Understand how to unite all the different aspects of a spiritual practice
• See why a spiritual practice should not be used as a decoy for waiting, and how you can “get out of the waiting room”
• Explore how to experience radical aliveness — liberation from fear, guilt and worry
• Realize that the goal and the path are one
