SPECIAL NOTICE: Sunday class audio recordings of "Expanded States of Self-Awareness" will be postponed until September 7th, after our Summer Seminar gathering. We left off on lesson 15 and will start back up on Lesson 16. September 7th will be a review of past lessons. "The first thing that we are aiming at is self-development. No one can be of any service or any good to himself or anyone else unless he has self-development. Now you may think you are well-developed, but I am talking about development in a particular way. The particular way is higher, keener understanding and insight into the fundamentals of existence. The more that we can develop that understanding the more meaningful becomes our own life to our respective selves and the greater service we can render to others... So to understand the self and to work with the self-development program we are going to emphasize, you have to have an understanding of the whole cosmic process, because each one of us, essentially, intrinsically is integrated in that cosmic process. Everything and every part of the world has an influence upon you and me—what's going on has a very strong bearing upon us even down to whether or not we are going to exist on this planet. So this cannot be overemphasized. In every respect we have to understand the whole in order to understand the part..." ~ Vitvan, "Expanding States of Self-Awareness" *** Class is held Sunday mornings 8:30 a.m. Mountain Time. Please contact us for a Zoom meeting invitation.
