Gods, Goddesses, and God
•What do these terms mean to you? How do the words affect you?
•To what extent do you consider it possible that beings, or a Being, infinitely more conscious and
more capable than humans, exist and interact with us; who may be experienced directly by your
senses and be interacted with productively?
•Beyond mere hope to "believe", can you, or can anyone you have met personally, recount a
direct sensory experience of God, or of a god or a goddess? If yes, what is your level (or that
acquaintance's level) of social acceptance as a credible person?
•If these words and questions make you uncomfortable or, conversely, if they make you joyful,
how influential is your lifetime indoctrination in that reaction? That is, to what extent are your
responses to these questions controlled successfully by the by the hypnosis of social
conditioning?
The questions arise naturally, particularly in this scientific age.
If they trigger emotions in you, then come to Rishikesh, India with me for ten days' study and
experience January 4-14, 2014. After we tackle the subjects theoretically and empirically, you
will be best equipped to determine for yourself what "Gods, Goddesses, and God" are all about,
and why this subject continues, well into the science era, to be not only intriguing knowledge, but
highly relevant and socially pivotal to the changing world consciousness and your personal role
in it.
On my course in Rishikesh, it will be my role to demonstrate, beyond reasonable doubt, that only
one experience ever is had: that of one's own state of consciousness. I will show that one's
universe is a construction of one's own consciousness-state.
It is incumbent upon us to have the most functional, interactive and adaptive consciousness state
possible, to maximize happiness in order to create a logically functional, friendly universe. This is
the goal, even if subconsciously so, of all scientists, and their counterparts in humanity, the
theologians and religious.
To continue to be one more suffering person, clueless about the cosmos in which we live, is
irrelevant to the need of the time. It is socially irrelevant; and it is irresponsible because it makes
others suffer, too.
The goal of "GODS, GODDESSES and GOD" will be to provide an intellectually stimulating
(while extremely relaxing) environment for self-exploration, using the techniques of Vedic
Meditation to enhance sensory perception to quantum levels. Whatever exists should be
experienced directly, not merely imagined.
During our stay in Rishikesh, I will lead excursions to sites of pilgrimage of the greatest
intellectual and experiential seers of five millennia. I will share with you knowledge and
techniques that will reveal to you The Truth of your state of consciousness and its corresponding
universe.
I will further show you a vision of possibilities, whatever your existing level of understanding and
experience may be, give you the tools to create happiness for yourself, and to radiate it to all
those surrounding you.
Join us, January 4-14, 2014 at the Hotel Ganga Kinare in Rishikesh, India. Space is limited.
