Deeply rooted in the Western Spiritual Tradition, this teaching is an essential practice for observing thoughts and feelings without judgment. Immerse yourself in Robert Rhondell Gibson’s transformative book, “The Science of Man,” as this extraordinary class unfurls a profound psycho-spiritual journey of self-exploration and personal evolution. Discover a simple yet profound matrix that illuminates the roots of your “negative” thinking, emotions, and behaviors, freeing you from their grip. Across 24 thought-provoking weekly lessons, you’ll delve into the art of mindful living, simultaneously untangling your social patterns and liberating yourself from the shackles of the “ego” or “false selves.”

Each week, you’ll apply the session’s readings to your daily struggles, gaining valuable insights into the roadblocks preventing you from embracing life with a fresh perspective. Uncover how you react when reality doesn’t align with your desires, unearthing emotions like anger, frustration, fear, or insecurity.

By the end of this transformative journey, you will have:

• Cultivated a mindful approach to your daily interactions, enriching your relationships
• Identified six ways you unconsciously try to control others in your day-to-day behavior
• Embraced a holistic mind-body view, understanding the connections between your beliefs and your well-being
• Recognized the negative beliefs dictating your automatic responses.
• Gained a newfound clarity on your authentic values and purpose in life
• Acquired tools to utilize obstacles as stepping stones for inner growth
• Deepened your understanding of Biblical teachings and parables, finding profound wisdom in them

“Regarding my studies of Rhondell over these many years, it’s the most valuable practice I have found. I’ve researched many different methods over my lifetime, and I believe this teaching has awakened me to the point of who I am today. Regardless of how I may feel [happy or sad, anxious or calm, content or discontent], the awareness of knowing what’s behind it all is for me the awakening.” — A.P.R.
