Our next training on consciousness engineering is with one of the most remarkable men I've ever seen grace a stage. He's like a modern day Martin Luther King. His name is Michael Beckwith. Michael Beckwith, in 1986, founded the Agape Spiritual center in Los Angeles. I don't typically go to church, but I go to the Agape Church whenever I get a chance in LA because it is amazing seeing this man on the on stage, unifying spiritual practices from so many different religions to a congregation and audience that are from people all around the world. And Agape is one of the most amazing experiences you can have if you're in LA and you get a chance attend an Agape session. Agape has expanded to locations in eight African countries, plus nations like Afghanistan, Bosnia, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Iraq, Kosovo and Sri Lanka. And that's because Michael Beckwith is a man obsessed with world peace. In fact, he had the honor of addressing the United Nations General assembly as part of its annual World Interfaith Harmony Week. He is also the international co chair of get this, the Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Season for Non Violence, which was launched at the United nations in 1998. And as part of this, he actually got to give an award to Nelson Mandela. So this is a man who associates with some of the most prominent world leaders in terms of interfaith dialogue, peace, and getting humanity to whole new levels of cooperation, transcendence and global harmony. I could go on and on and on about the various awards that Michael Beckwith has won, but instead I'm going to save that for a page on this course. Let me now tell you what we're going to be talking about. As you go through this upcoming training, you're going to see a new pattern for how human beings decide they want to pursue goals. Beckwith is going to outline for you what happens when you reach a certain stage in your life where you decide that it's no longer about the pursuit of goals, but it's about serving. He'll also talk about a model of reality, on how the universe is in fact a friendly universe. And when you come to terms that every problem that you face in life is a gift that is going to lead to some sort of transformation within you, you stop stressing out about life and you start operating in life at a whole different paradigm. The universe is friendly and it has your back. Beckwith is then going to teach you a range of different systems that you can put into play to cooperate and play with this friendly universe. He's going to show you his personal method for mindfulness and meditative practices. He's going to talk about how he applies grief, gratitude. He's going to challenge what you think you know about prayer and show you his method of praying to the universe, or to God, or to the divine, or whatever you wish to call it. And as we wrap up this training, we're going to go explore other topics ranging from how human beings evolve and develop towards enlightenment, to new levels of goal attainment, goal setting, seeking things in the world that you start moving into as you move upwards on your scale of human awareness. So this, honestly, was one of the most inspiring CE trainings I've ever done. I finished recording this training with Michael Beckwith just a couple of hours ago, and I'm still riding on this wave of energy. So I know you're going to absolutely love this. Let's get started.
