We conduct "classes" via the internet and e-mail, in which we analyze and discuss materials, ideas, techniques, experiences, processes, etc ... related to expressing spirit in flesh.

No grades are given. All assignments are voluntary. Collaboration, cooperation, and sharing are encouraged at all times. Students are expected to develop cooperative interdependent relationships with each other. This cannot be emphasized enough. Wherever two or more can gather and express openly it is amazing what spirit can manifest. Further, this is one of the most important things to learn how to teach.

We constantly explore new approaches, ever seeking ways to more fully express spirit, not only individually, but in groups of various sizes. Unlike the standard Teacher/Student breakout at most schools. We KNOW that we are all TEACHERS here. We express this by teaching one another though sharing. There are no lectures. There is no one way dissemination of information. Such outmoded ways belong to a time that is past.

MECHANICS FOR CLASSES:

• Each week there is a reading assignment. Not a lot. Approximately 30 pages. But, then not "light" reading either. Accompanying the assignment will be guidance as to what the focus should be including specific questions and some suggested exercises.

• Students are encourage to collaborate to gain not only a personal understanding of the material, but also an understanding of how others interpret things. Where possible, any questions should be answered among the students together.

• Any open questions will be submitted to the master teacher conducting the course who will respond in writing by posting Q&As to the class web page. Personal questions can be addressed privately via e-mail as well. The master teacher will also be available for a Q&A session on chat each week.

Conducted by Wayne Hartman

TEXTBOOKS: Beyond Imagination Notes, The Nature of Personal Reality, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and parts of Beyond Imagination: Foundations for Creating a New World.

The notes can be found on-line at the Beyond Imagination site. I am looking for a volunteer who would handle getting hardcopy printouts to people who might want them; preferably someone who can read the WordPerfect versions of the files.

TUITION: $22 US/week payable per lunar month ($88 US) at New Moon. The preferred methid of "payment" is via a service scholarship. Service scholarships require that you apply your skills and talents for two hours each week in some manner that "serves" others. When you take the class, you are consuming a service that spirit provides through us. This puts you in debt ... not to the teacher nor to the school, but to SPIRIT. In return, spirit asks that you DO SOMETHING to provide service to others. Exactly what you do to discharge this obligation is strictly between you and spirit ... it is not our concern.

At 30 pages per month, it will take approximately 1 year to get through all of the Notes. This doesn't mean that you have to commit to a whole year to start. It also doesn't mean that as a class we have to stick to this curriculum. If we find that our explorations take us into new uncharted areas that is fine too. Openness in the face of uncertainty is what this Grand Adventure of Spirit is all about.

Please e-mail a brief bio that includes what you know about your level of awareness, whatever you know about your mission, and why you are moved to be part of what this school is doing. Feel free to explore the Beyond Imagination site and check out the Notes to see what you are signing yourself up for.

This course has been conducted once for a class with one student. See the class guidance for more introductory information on what the class covers and how it operates. The February class will follow the same lessons that were developed for the initial class with appropriate improvements, of course.

If you want to know how I rate as a teacher, you'll have to ask my only student to date. Actually, I've been a teacher to myself as well. LOL!!!

OPTION FOR SELF-STUDY

If you want to do the course on your own or in your own group, without signing up, that is fine too. Since it requires less resources for us to support you in that case, the suggested tuition for "auditing" is one hour of your time per week in service to others for each person auditing. Guidance for the first 15 weeks of lessons is available from the Course 1 page.
