And the mirror of truth that's sitting inside all of us in our heart,

it is constantly trying to intuitively reveal to us something profound.

It's whispering to us to guide us to live authentic lives,

where we're actually inspired by what we do,

loving what we do with transcendental awareness, inspired, enthused, grateful,

certain, present. I

just want to spend a bit of time with you today and talk about

a ancient story

called The Mirror of Truth. Sometimes I call it The Mirror of Truth and Wisdom.

There's a story of ancient times where

there was a great mirror, and when you looked into the mirror,

it revealed the secrets of the universe.

Now that was implied at the time theological connotations,

so they call it the secrets in the mind of God,

but I like to think of it from a more secular perspective of just the secrets of

the universe.

This mirror was very perfectly smooth, perfectly shiny,

and it had the great wisdom that all great seekers of wisdom search for.

And this gave the power of youth, the power of vitality,

power of wisdom,

and allowed people to excel and master the expression of their human existence.

When you looked upon the mirror, if you were ready,

if you were a student of wisdom yourself, it would reveal its secrets.

If you were not ready, it would not reveal the secrets.

When the student is ready, the teacher appears, that's the mirror.

The mirror is really your own highest nature.

The most essential you, your authentic self. It's a symbol of that.

But the story is about this discovery of this mirror that's physical.

Suddenly vandals came in and stole the mirror,

and everybody wanted a piece out of it, out of their passions of greed.

And they broke the mirror into fragments and splinters and spread

it and everybody went to different directions, these vandals. And

it was left in every part of the world. And

all the fragments were hidden from commoners gaze. But

those that had discernment had wisdom,

would find and pluck out and locate the mirror of truth and it's different

splinters.

And they would gather together and correlate the

back together. And philosopher after philosopher and thinker after thinker,

sincere mystic and theologians and scientists through the

ages have been putting the mirror back together as best they can,

but there's cracks and missing pieces.

And as a result of it, it's like when you actually get the,

all the mirror pieces together, if it's not perfectly clear,

you have the puzzle pieces missing, You've done a puzzle.

And if you've actually tried to play the puzzle at first,

it's kind of a mystery. You don't know where the pieces, it's very challenging,

but slowly but surely the pieces come together and eventually see the whole

picture. That's the splinters, coming together and being found.

A syncretic development,

which is a graduate amalgamation and synthesis of all the different splintering

pieces throughout the world by great minds,

have been gathered over the centuries, millennia,

to put this mirror back together. I've spent 47,

almost 48 years working on that project.

Gathering together as much information from the greatest minds who ever lived,

in every field, well, not every field, but 299 fields, most fields.

Trying to find the most common principles and laws of the universe that

could be helpful in helping an individual master their life.

Imagine a sand glass, an hourglass,

you turn it over and it's filled with sand and it slowly

pours through this little opening and fills the base.

And the base becomes denser, but after awhile,

the upper portion becomes crystal clear.

And that's like our mind when we're on search for this great mirror of truth,

we start out and our denser aspects at first blind us,

but as they are transcended,

we eventually have clear penetration of the mysteries that this great mirror of

truth reveal. For centuries, as I said,

people throughout the world have been searching for these pieces.

And I have too. In 1982,

I was studying the Vedic texts. It was October 12th actually,

and it was around two o'clock in the morning.

And I was just stopping for a moment and doing a meditation after being reading

and summarizing, Vedic writings.

I did this, in this meditation,

I got really inspired and spontaneously started writing an outline

of a series of courses that I felt that I would like to share.

I had so much information in me from all the research that I've been doing,

that I couldn't wait to bring that to people.

And that night something called the Concourse of Wisdom came to me.

Concourse meant,

confluence of people gathered for the sake of finding the mirror of truth,

and wisdom being the ultimate pinnacle of that expression,

the love of wisdom and the wisdom of love, philosophia.

So I started outlining and taking,

and summarizing all the different disciplines that I could get and study

throughout the world and put them together into a cohesive

system that was congruent. That was not

you know, confusing, but clarity, bringing clarity.

I started then presenting programs.

I remember I literally outlined 300 individual little

classes that were weekly classes.

And I sat there for four hours nonstop writing as fast as I could with tears in

my eyes writing these things out.

I presented the class and I selected 27 of the most

brilliant people that I knew in the city of Houston at the time.

And I did this presentation and it was on the relationship between our

journey, from our mortal self to our immortal self,

from our mundane self to our sublime self,

from our unclear self to our self-mastery,

the essential being,

our ground of substance and being that we have inside and about a mastery,

path of mastery. At the end of the class,

people were inspired, they had tears in their eyes. It was grateful.

And I asked them if they'd like to join again on beginning the second class of

the 300 classes. And the following week, few people came.

And then I told them that if you wanted to continue this,

there'd be certain responsibilities. And then the following week, nobody came.

And I realized that I had gone to steep with the

information. I had to do it in little layers.

I had gone too fast with the depth of information.

So I later calmed it down and created a curriculum.

I redid the Concourse into layers.

I had the Breakthrough Experience,

which is the program that I've been taught now 1,100 and going on 11 times this

weekend, my Prophecy program,

which is for us to be a prophet of our own destiny,

a wise individual that has decided their own destiny,

captain of their ship, master of their fate.

And then I also put together the Empyreance, which I learned from Dante,

which is the Imperial abode,

which is the highest state of awareness that a human being can have.

And then mastery courses.

And then the edifice program and the coronation program.

I put together a whole series of classes,

progressively expanding human consciousness and the

awareness of the mastery of the basic areas of life and beyond,

asking very important questions, who are we? You know,

this is an ontological question, who am I? People ask that,

and there is an answer, and it's not too mystical.

One's hierarchy of values dictates this,

whatever's highest on an individual's values,

their identity revolves around and their path evolves around. Epistemologically,

this is where they know themselves most. Teleologically,

this is where they know their mission and purpose. There is a science.

It's not a hit and miss.

It's a reproducible duplicatable science on the mastery of knowing oneself,

being willing to live purposefully and to do something extraordinary on the

planet. This is what the purpose of the mirror of truth was about,

to have the ordinary become extraordinary. The masses become master.

The ignorant become wise,

and this is what I've been dedicated to for 47, 48 years.

I have been absolutely on a relentless pursuit of that.

It still brings me tears of inspiration, thinking about it now, as it did,

when I was in 1982, when I got the Concourse.

The Concourse then was told that it would reach the world and we have,

we now have students in every country around the world and we get to,

I've been to 154 countries speaking,

but I've actually have students now in every country because of Zoom and social

media. So we're thankful for that. Whoever designed these,

really did contribute. And I'm able to speak to you because of that.

But one thing I'm certain about, that this mirror of truth,

deep inside all of us, it's the alchemy of our own life.

It's about taking our base metals and making them the fine precious metals of

gold, not just metaphorically, but literally.

Gold means Au, it's a symbolism which means light.

It's about enlightening our own being. It's about becoming aware. See,

we go around and we live in our animal nature sometimes,

where we're impulsive towards things we seek and instinctually away from things

that we avoid.

And we're automatons reacting to misperceptions and run extrinsically

by misperceptions of our outer world, our subjective biases,

in a sense lopside our reality and keep us from being empowered.

I have been working for many, many years on a system,

which I call the Demartini Method,

which is a series of questions that are wise,

intuitive questions that lead to the heart and open the heart and allow you

to see the great mirror of truth. You know,

as the theologian said, when the hand of God slides over the mirror truth,

he seals the cracks and puts all the pieces back,

and all of a sudden you get a glimmering of what's wise inside you.

All of my classes and the Demartini Method were designed for that objective.

So you can know yourself. So you can be yourself. So you can love yourself.

And you can do the contribution that servers that makes a difference on the

world that you're here to play with. You're here to do something extraordinary.

You're not ordinary.

But if you subordinate to the world on the outside and live in conformity,

instead of enormity and fit in and survive,

instead of thrive, then you will not access the mirror of truth.

You'll not be ready for it. You won't have equanimity,

which it takes to be able to see into the mirror itself.

See, what happens is, sometimes the truth frightens people.

I've been teaching the Breakthrough Experience my signature program for many

years, 30, almost two years,

and sometimes facing the truth of our nature is frightening.

We don't realize that everybody around us is a reflection.

Everything is a reflection. And that includes the hero and the villain,

the saint and the sinner, and the virtue and the vice, and everything around us.

If we want to know the truth of the mirror of truth,

we have to actually embrace all aspects of ourselves.

We can't shed one side and think, 'Oh,

I want to get rid of that side and only be this side.

The entire self-improvement mythology has hampered the mirror of

truth. It's not helped, it's hindered,

because it's misleading people into thinking that they can get rid of half of

themselves and only be one sided.

And the idea that perfection is one sided instead of both sided and the

integration.

How are we going to have a balance in our physiology if we don't have a balance

in our expectations in reality?

And I'm a firm believer that the mirror of truth is awakened,

the people who are ready,

the ones who are willing to embrace all sides of themselves and the world around

them and is able to do objective,

set objectives that are actually ones that are inspiring, that's authentic,

that are essentially spontaneous in their expression within the individual.

I've watched people that basically try to be somebody they're not,

bang their head against the wall, self depreciate, compare themselves to others,

hold themselves back, live with anxiety, live with self depreciation,

wonder why the world seems to be against them, when none of that is real.

What's what's actual in our world is that we have the capacity to do something

extraordinary on the planet. And all we have to do is be ourselves.

And that's what all my courses are set up. My entire Concourse of Wisdom,

which is 76 courses,

is designed as a unique curriculum designed to help people navigate through

the matrix,

the labyrinth of existence and help them realize that they can do something

amazing. I'm a firm believer that you can actually wake up your genius.

I know in my own life, that that was my mission since my twenties,

I wanted to create original ideas that served humanity,

and I'm absolutely certain that's doable, I'm living it, I'm watching it,

original ideas that are,

no one's put on the planet that are out there making a contribution.

And I think being an unborrowed visionary and doing something extraordinary with

your life is what you want.

And you don't have to accept anything less than that.

You don't have to be living in mediocrity.

You don't have to live in quiet lives of desperation.

You can do something extraordinary. I'm a believer you have genius inside.

I've worked with thousands of kids. I've worked with adults. I mean,

I'm absolutely certain that it's sitting inside,

but it takes you willing to be authentic and living integrally according to what

you value most to awaken it.

And if you're not giving yourself permission to do that,

and you're comparing yourself to others,

instead of comparing your daily actions to your own dreams,

you wont awaken it and see it. I love helping people get that.

I want to help you do that. You deserve that. That's the true you.

The magnificence of who you are is greater than all the delusions you may put on

yourself. And that's the mirror of truth.

When you can look in the mirror and see yourself and embrace the self,

you've integrated your fragments and splintered components and personas,

the masks that you exaggerate and minimize yourself with, that are lost,

that are hidden

by your lower nature. It can't be seen.

It's too subjective biased to see this great objective truth about our life.

We also have the capacity to do something of great service with equanimity and

equity.

When we're doing the thing that we can't wait to get up in the morning and do

and serve people and do it in a way that actually inspires them and serves them.

And I'm a firm believer that that's doable and it doesn't matter where you

started,

what matters is are you going to follow the principles that stood the test of

time, which leads to the enlightened mirror of truth.

And this is something fulfilling.

People live in a delusion that they want avoid pain and seek pleasure,

avoid predator, seek prey.

They live trying to polarize themselves and divide the magnet up and get one

side of a magnet, which is futile, it's not ever going to happen.

Utility is different than futility,

and utility is the fulfillment of making a difference in serving other people

and filling their voids and needs. And the service that you love doing it,

is inspiring to you doing that is a niche of fulfillment.

I've asked people by the thousands,

how many of you had fulfillment when they make a difference in people's lives

and the hands go up. You don't want to escape.

Most people are doing quiet lives of desperation,

doing a job they don't want to do. Having Monday morning blues,

Wednesday hump days, thank God it's Friday's, week friggin ends.

They're not inspired by what they do. They want to escape with a vacation,

they want escape with an hour break or sneak off to get a sugar fix at

some Starbucks thing. And they want to take vacation or you know,

retire or something like that. Cause they haven't found their mission.

I want to help you find your mission. You don't need to be motivated.

Motivation is a symptom.

The solution is an intrinsic calling inside that's inspiring,

guided by the mirror of truth.

When you can look in the mirror and you can see the truth of your own nature,

and it's enlightened enough to be able to embrace your life and say,

'thank you', you got the mirror of truth.

That's what every one of my courses are designed to do, to help people do that.

I knew by Zig Ziglar, when I met him, when I was in my twenties,

if I help other people get what they want to get in life,

I get what I want to get in life. I wanted to live by the mirror of truth.

And I know deep inside, no matter what your facade is that's covering it,

there's a deep part of you that knows that's true in what you want to do.

There's also an abundant financial opportunity for everybody who is living

authentically, serving people, and valuing themselves,

because when you live by your highest values and live by priorities and it

serves other people, your self worth goes up and your net worth compensates,

and it deserves to be remunerated for great services,

and you deserve to be able to put some of that into asset accumulated wealth

building systems so you can passively have an income where you don't have to

work because you have to,

you work because you love to and you build up a mastery and exemplification of

what's possible economically on the planet.

I believe you're here to deserve that, and have that, you yearn for that.

And even though you pretend that it's not important to you, deep inside,

you don't like struggling and living

in poverty and slavery. Penury is not the answer, but wisdom is mastering money.

If you're working for it, it runs you, you're it's slave.

If you are mastering it, you're its master. And I believe you're here,

designed to do that.

I think you're also designed to have an amazing relationship and be able to have

communication and appreciation.

True intimacy is not some

passionate you know, impulsive lust system.

That's not what intimacy is.

Intimacy is to have the realization that what you see in other people is a

perfect reflection of yourself and there's no missingness in what you see in

them inside you. And you can identify reflectively with reflective conscious,

and self-awareness and introspection, that nature.

When you can realize that everything you see in them is inside you and your own

expression in your own unique set of values, you have true intimacy,

where nothing's missing. You're not in a relationship because you 'got to',

or 'need to', or 'have to', or any of the imperatives.

You're there because you love to. You want to share with that individual,

you have love for them. And you're not in desperation.

You're not in an illusion of missing-ness. Nothing's ever missing in your life,

but you may have an addiction and fantasy about forms it's supposed to be in and

therefore thinking you're missing things and therefore disempower your

relationship dynamic,

and then search out of desperation and project your unrealistic expectations on

others to live in your needs.

And this erodes it and gives feedback in relationship dynamics.

And it allows you to eventually discover the mirror of truth.

When you realize that there's nothing but grace, there's nothing but love there.

There's a presence there. And it doesn't matter where the individual is.

There's no locality. It's,

non-locally kind of an entangled loving when you're there.

And also socially, the authentic you is a leader.

It automatically emerges spontaneously when you're giving yourself permission to

not put people above or below you.

Not splinter the world and fragment yourself and

of social hierarchical illusions about who they are,

instead of realizing that they're in a sense, fully functioning,

self-actualized souls, and individuals that are not fragmenting,

unless you put labels on them with your subjective biases.

When you finally realize that there's nothing missing in them and nothing

missing you,

there's a natural yearning to want to respectfully communicate and offer in a

sense your heart, to help them fulfill what their meaning is,

what's meaningful to them. And to lead them and direct them.

Not by coercion,

not by aristocracy or oligarchy,

it's simply by inspiration and vision.

I was at the self realizationship center many times, many years ago, 30,

40 years ago, almost in San Diego, California. I asked a woman there,

'How did they build this center?' And they said that,

'Yogananda came here and he was so inspiring one day that people just had to

want to help him. And people started to put the thing together,

it was a spontaneous thing.' He didn't even ask him.

A designer came, an architect came, they held the vision and it manifested.

And an individual that's really inspired by what they do and clear and lucid in

their mission, and is willing to be the master of their life,

automatically synchronizes people, places, things, ideas,

and events into their life to manifest those goals.

And I believe that that's what's possible for each of us.

That's when I put the curriculum forward,

I wanted people to learn the greatest information that's on the face of the

earth,

by the greatest minds who ever lived and summarize them and synthesize and stand

on the shoulders of giants and do something amazing and learn the tool,

the Demartini Method,

so they can ask quality questions and have their intuition and inspiration guide

their life instead of impulses and instincts as an animal.

I think they're an angel in the making. An angel is a messenger of light.

I believe that we are here to be messengers with a message bringing what is

unique in our own unique expression of values into the world and enlightening

the world on our own expression and our own exemplification.

I believe also that our physiology is providing us feedback with symptoms.

We've been so hoodwinkled by the pharmaceutical industry and the medical

profession that the symptom is somehow unhealthy.

When in fact symptoms are part of wellbeing.

If you pig out and you overeat and you get symptoms the next day,

your body is trying to reveal to you, your foolish behavior, your ungoverned,

uncontrolled impulses and instincts that are stopping you from living with

reason and objectivity and balance.

And the symptoms are misleading this.

We think we got to get rid of the symptoms. We think that's health.

We take a pill for every ill and we don't actually take accountability for our

behaviors.

And this is exactly what the Demartini Method in the Breakthrough Experience is

for, is to learn how to master our life and balance our perceptions.

So we're not dependant as a drug taker.

That's the last resort, not the first resort for a master.

So I'm a believer that we're here to empower our physiology.

I'm going on, I'll be 66 in less than two months and I'm full

on, I go do full schedules.

I have intense activities and people wonder where I get my energy.

And it's very simple. You're doing what you're here to do.

You're on your mission. And you don't live to eat. You eat to live.

You eat prioritized food, you do prioritize actions.

You prioritize who you're interacting with.

You prioritize your services and you live by priority.

How do you expect to empower yourself if you're not living by priority and not

delegating lower priority things to people that have that as their highest

priority thing?

Therefore engaging in the resources wisely to go out and do something

empowering. And spiritually,

if we have a balanced mind by living by our highest values and we're

inspired by what we do spontaneously, we automatically and

instead of going around with rituals and artificial things from possibly

antiquated dogmas of the past, we're living present in the matrix of life,

contributing,

knowing full well that there's a higher order to our apparent chaos.

And we look for it. And we find it. In the mirror of truth

that's sitting inside all of us, in our heart,

it is constantly trying to intuitively reveal to us something profound.

It's whispering to us to guide us to live authentic lives,

where we're actually inspired by what we do,

loving what we do with transcendental awareness, inspired, enthused, grateful,

certain, present,

not uncertain and wavering and self depreciating, like most people,

who are living under futility,

quiet life of desperation. We're not here to subordinate.

We're here to ordinate. We're not here to look down on people or up at people.

We're here to look across from people, caringly, caring-ly

and communicate respectfully to them in their values.

And do what we're here to do and do it in a way where we honor them doing what

they would love to do and having enough reflective awareness to see that

there's, whatever we see in them is inside us.

If we're too proud or too humble to admit what we see in others inside us,

we won't have the intimate relationships that create sustainable fair exchange

relationships with others.

And we won't build momentum socially and spiritually in our lives.

So we have to give ourselves permission to shine and look in the mirror of

truth. The mirror of truth is constantly revealing equanimity to us.

It's revealing to us the matrix. The matrix of love.

I've been teaching the Breakthrough Experience for, as I said for 30,

almost two years.

And one thing I've discovered in the Demartini Method in what I call Column 6

and 13, is that no matter what's going, the equal and opposite's always there.

Our consciousness always maintains a homeostasis.

I've discovered a new psychology.

The antiquated psychology I see around us is very victim oriented.

It's very hypocrisy oriented.

It's morally inept in its approach. And it's basically living in the dark ages.

It's time for new psychology.

It's time for a new awareness of spirituality that's available to us.

And this is what I'm trying to offer in The Concourse of Wisdom.

It's not for people that just want to go and do entertainment.

It's not for people who want to stand on chairs and go RARA.

It's not for people that want to look the part and hang out with the people and

fit in. It's not a herd instinct.

It's people who are on a path of mastery.

Concourse of Wisdom is the group of people that are dedicated to the wisdom of

love and the love of wisdom. When I was 14 years old,

I met Howard Hughes and he took me to a library and he told me that there's only

two things they can never take away from you in your life,

and that is your love and wisdom. Although it was not until I was 17,

that I got a glimpse of what my mission was. And it wasn't until 1982,

when I put the Concourse together,

one thing I'm certain about is that the mirror of truth leads to love and

wisdom. There's nothing but love all else is illusion,

ultimately in the universe.

And the wisdom of seeing that is really what it's about.

And we have a massive contribution,

we play a much significant role in this universe than we realize.

And we right now,

even though we're on this tiny planet in a little small Milky way, you know,

in a local cluster and a Virgo cluster in a super galaxy cluster of Laniakea,

the great wall and a great attractor in the form of cosmos,

no matter what we do, we still have a significance on the planet.

As Arthur Eddington said, when the electron vibrates the universe shakes,

and we have the power to do something significant on the planet,

and we're not here to exaggerate or minimize it,

we're here to live it and fulfill it. And deep inside, you know what it is.

But sometimes we compare ourselves to others and cloud the clarity of what it's

calling is representing.

So I want to give us permission to do that.

And I want you to come and join me in the Concourse of wisdom.

I promise you a curriculum like you'll not find anywhere else on the planet.

And I'm certain about that. I ask people at each of my classes,

how many of you have learned something this week or this weekend,

or these two weeks that you could have gone your whole life and never have

learned? And every hand goes up in every class I give.

So if you're interested in probing deeper into the mysteries of existence,

you're interested in studying physics and metaphysics and studying the profane

and the sacred and study everything in between and the sciences and the

religions and the philosophies and the universal principles of life, then

I'm absolutely certain that the Concourse can be of great value to you.

And I know the Breakthrough Experience, which is the center part,

will be the first step in that journey. Be prepared for a new awakened,

a new trajectory, because your perspective is about to change.

You're not going to see the same life you've had.

You're going to realize you have power. You don't have to be victims of history.

You can be a master of destiny.

You don't have to sit there and blame things and give credit to things on the

outside. When the truth is, it's nothing but a reflection of what's inside,

you know, in the Bardo Thodol, the Tibetan Book of the Dead,

at the moment of passing,

it asks the individual on the moment of passing on the way to the light of the

void, you'll be confronted by peaceful and wrathful deities, but fear not,

for they are nothing more than reflections of your own projections of your own

mind. And this is what we find.

We see the world around us and we give power to the world around us and don't

realize that it's a reflection of the world within us.

It's an hallucinatory expression of what goes on inside.

But if we go and we find the mirror of truth,

which is what the Concourse is about and what I put together,

you can go through and start to see and glimmer of what's really possible inside

your life.

And I'm absolutely certain that it's more profound than you first realize.

So if you're ready to go on a journey and want to go study the masters and stand

on the shoulders of giants, as Sir Isaac Newton,

from Pythagoras all the way to the greatest minds through history, thousands.

I'm talking about thousands of great minds I've been going through and

summarizing and synthesizing and syncretizing their work.

If you're interested in that, come and join the Concourse,

come at the Breakthrough Experience And if that's not for you,

then that's fine, may you go on your journey in it's natural way,

but you may end up having to do trial and error instead of standing on the

shoulders of giants.

Trial and error is definitely not as effective as foresight,

planning and learning from those that go on the path.

You want to be an unborrowed visionary,

but you want to stand on the shoulders of visionaries.

So I'm offering that to you. I want you to come and join me.

I want you to come to the Breakthrough Experience,

see about what this Concourse of Wisdom that I put together for you is,

and that's it. I just wanted to do that.

Cause the mirror of truth is inside your heart waiting to be discovered,

but all of the personas and fragments that you have that have interfered with

the communication of your heart,

to your own center of being is keeping it from acknowledging and realizing

the great mirror of truth that you have inside.

The master inside you is waiting to be revealed.

I will do everything I can to help you experience it.

And before I close, I just want to offer you a little gift.

It's called Awakening Your Astronomical Vision. Awakening Your

Astronomical Vision is a program, little presentation I did, two hours,

dedicated to expanding your vision astronomically.

You won't make a difference in your own life unless you have a vision beyond it.

And the astronomical vision is a very powerful vision I gave out a planetarium

to the group of executives and to help them expand their vision to do

something global. If you feel you're here to do something,

this little CD will be something I promise you,

you will say thank you by listening to.

And also if you're on a journey of

mastery, I'm on that journey too. And I know I can save you some time.

So I look forward to seeing you at the Breakthrough Experience.

Please take advantage of this gift and I'll see you on the next live time

presentation. Thank you for being with me today.

May you go deep inside yourself and really soul search and find out if you're

ready for the Concourse. If you are, please find a way of being there.

I promise you it'll be a life changing experience. Thank you.
