Workshop Content

               The content of the workshop is in I AM A I (http://www.i-am-a-i.org) with its lab applications.  In addition, the lab applications can be found as basic mental exercises in The Truth Tuning Toolkit (http://www.i-am-a-i.org/exercises/index.html).

Workshop Purpose

                   People involved with popular world religions and philosophies may disagree, however the mystical or contemplative -- monastic -- people of different religions tend to agree.  They all talk about having to do the same thing.  Only their approach, methodologies, or philosophies may differ.  For example, catholic monks take the Tao te Ching, substitute the phrase "the Way" with the phrase " the Christ" and call it "the book".

               The purpose of this workshop is to expose you to ancient reoccurring worldwide spiritual/mystical concepts within a contemporary college physical science format for non-science majors. The provided paradigm encompasses a wide spectrum of spiritual thought and philosophies.  It contains a synthesis between scientific and spiritual models, and shows you how they relate and are not that different. 
               The model you will be presented with contains a thumbnail sketch of the history of world religions, the shamanic journey, science, and math.  You will be introduced to a comprehensive paradigm that includes a model of the Universe – Divine into physical form (incorporating the prevailing physics model), a model of how your mortal mind works, and you are presented with an interface of the two. 
                The spectrum of the model presented spans elements relevant to Shamanism to elements of the Covenant (Judaic, Christian, and Islamic thought), from Buddhist concepts to math concepts, and it provides a links between western technical/scientific thought to witchcraft or magic concepts.
                The workshop also presents advanced spiritual concepts that clarify – demystifies -- thaumaturgical magic and miracles.

                Even without the intellectual elements of this workshop you are also exposed to techniques for opening your ‘mind’s eye’ – adding dimensions to your mind.  Specifically, you are given a hands-on exposure to visualization techniques; truth perception and recognition; thinking in parallels; using the mind’s weaknesses; meditation techniques (including using music as a mental tool); psychic perception, techniques, and its cultivation; and consciously forming personal intention.

                In conclusion, the workshop format allows for an introduction of a comprehensive metaphysical theory while providing hands-on exposure to the presented concepts.

Workshop Relevancy to Daily Life

         The comprehensiveness of the model that is presented makes it applicable to most serious endeavors.  The importance of formulating personal intention, meditation mechanics with modalities, and some of the perceptual psychology concepts introduced in the workshop are some of the examples of how this is .
         The Mystic Science workshop ties together many subjects and works with common themes.  The workshop teaches the mechanics of meditation, which can be referenced to other relevant workshops or experiences.  will learn mechanisms in common between martial arts orientated disciplines, to the various yoga disciplines, and the concepts and exercises presented can be applicable to massage, art, music, and dance endeavors.  You also are introduced to a mathematical formula that helps define your effectiveness in these endeavors. 
          Techniques taught in this workshop can aid in cultivating and maintaining a specific consciousness while
         performing a physical operation like atheletics, work, or cutting the lawn.  Yoo are also presented with a number of grounding techniques for your mind and also introduces the importance and role the Divine has in healing.
          This metaphysics workshop illustrates many ways you can ‘tweak’ your individual practice; you are shown how you can expand the scope of whatever practice (spiritual, mystical, physical, etc.) you may have.
