A 30 Day Course on Self-realizatio
Introduction
Are you one of the increasing number of people who is thinking about enlightenment, or who actually would like to be enlightened? Then this course is especially made for you! Even if you are someone who considers him/herself pretty much enlightened, this surely is the course you will love to be on!
I myself went for enlightenment when I was 21 years of age, and a lot of the things I will be telling you during these thirty days, I picked up right at the beginning of my journey, in 1974 and 1975. These basic principles proved to be correct throughout my life, so I am sure that they are expressions of ete
al, universal and true knowledge. In a sense, during the coming 30 days I will try to share with you all the essential knowledge about life I collected during the last thirty-seven years!
So is this a crash course in enlightenment? In a way it is, and in a way of course it cannot be. It is, because it will deal with all that a human being should know about enlightenment, about selfrealisation, about the world, and about the nature and origin of creation, as well as with the goal of life and creation! So I will try to make you acquainted with all the ingredients that make up the cake of enlightenment!
But the proof of the cake will for ever be in the eating. Enlightenment is nothing other than self knowledge, in the deepest sense of the word. This means that we are supposed to become self-referral. And as long as we are learning something from a book, so long we are focusing our attention on something that is not our self, not our own essence! In that sense I mentioned above that an email course or a course from a book cannot actually make you enlightened.
Nevertheless, if you understand the things I will share with you, you are actually experiencing these truths for yourself, by yourself and in yourself! In that sense, all you have to do to become enlightened, is to understand, and intuitively recognize the truth as it is presented to you. And I can assure you, that all I am bringing up is simple and easy to understand! There is nothing complicated about self knowledge, on the contrary! We have been brought up with so many complicated things at our schools, colleges and universities, that we have unlea
ed the ability to be simple, and to be aware of the absolute simplicity that is underlying the infinite complexities of life. You see, life is both: infinitely complex and absolutely simple at the same time!
During this course, you will be shown the way to be aware of the underlying unity that pervades the infinite diversity of creation. What is that common ingredient in all of the manifold expressions of life? Consciousness. Consciousness is not only the source of all your thoughts and feelings, it is the source of your physiology as well! If we are to be clear in our heads, and clear in our hearts, and sure enough, that is exactly what enlightenment means, we are to understand that consciousness is primary and that matter is secondary! Consciousness is that which in churches is adored as “God”, in Mosks as “Allah”, and in temples as “Shiva”, etcetera. As you may have noticed, in the churches, temples and mosks, usually one is not so clear what exactly is meant by these ancient terms! The whole world is in an intellectual and emotional chaos, confusion, bankruptcy.
This simple course has more than enough power to eliminate this unfortunate situation! It is as deep as an infinite ocean, it is as wide as an infinite ocean. It provides not only an internationally acceptable common ground for all religions, it also provides the common ground of science and religion! This it does by showing the common essence of all people and all of peoples creations!
Mind you, this is not a religious course. Enlightenment has nothing to do with faith! One of my favorite expressions is: belief is for the ignorant. It is only natural that ignorant people are fond of believing something. But in your case, the very the fact that you are no longer satisfied with believe, religion or blind faith, is in itself a sure sign that the dawn of enlightenment is taking place in your mind already.
During the course of my life, I noticed that there are many misunderstandings about enlightenment, as there are many misunderstandings about everything else! Characteristic of life in ignorance is that one sees everything in a wrong light, in a lack of light. In the absence of light, a piece of rope could easily frighten us, because we tend to think it is a snake. In stead of coping with a non-existing snake, it is much wiser to light a light. That we will do in this unique course! Instead of coping with the darkness that is prevailing throughout the world until now, in this course we will conce
ourselves with introducing the light!
So let us take a breath, and turn the switch that is waiting to be turned in our own awareness! Let us move forward and demystify the whole field of so called spirituality! Let us rejoice in adequate knowledge about an area of life that has hitherto been a white spot on the map of life: OUR OWN CONSCIOUSNESS!

How Could This Be About Me?
Dear Keith and Maura, I just found your website and podcasts yesterday and they totally resonate with me. I am a very active youthful 55. I was widowed suddenly at 32 with 2 babies. My soulmate died and I was lost and devastated. I banged around for 10 years raising my boys, working and trying to find a similar loving relationship as I had. I met losers, liars, cheaters, alcoholics, and abusers.
