EXPLORING THE VEDAS 1-6
Exploring the Vedas 1-6
Veda means Truth, Self truth or knowledge. You will experience Intellectual teachings of the people, their names and what they were experiencing in cognizing this deep knowledge and the implications of this knowledge.
The Veda is the ancient record of spiritual experience that is the source of the arts and sciences of Ayurvedic medicine, yoga, meditation and Indian philosophy. Knowledge of the Veda is said to confer mastery of all the laws of nature, because the Veda is structured as universal knowledge available within everyone’s consciousness; it is the blueprint of creation.
Thom Knoles is recognized as one of the world’s foremost teachers of the Veda’s true meaning and application. In a six-seminar course of 73 hours recorded over a two year period, Thom delves deeply into the Veda and draws out pearls of wisdom that are nothing short of life-changing. Students of Exploring the Veda learn techniques for deepening meditation, for correcting the mistakes of the intellect, and for manifesting the life experiences that reveal true fulfillment. This knowledge is the most powerful and practical you may ever experience, and will impact your everyday existence on multiple levels.
The complete Exploring the Vedas program consists of six installments. Each installment is conducted in a retreat setting over a weekend on Fire Island or in NYC at the East Village location in the format below.
Please note: all attendees will be required to present proof of vaccination upon arrival.
About Advanced Courses
Once you have learned how to establish yourself in Vedic Meditation and you begin meditating regularly for at least twelve months, you are eligible to receive an Advanced Technique. An Advanced Technique is designed to take one’s awareness to that layer of consciousness that occupies the space between the relative and absolute. This is the space we call the charm zone.. Or state of bliss, that deep spot that we linger in our daily meditations. We can then realize that state in every moment of our waking state.
Advanced Techniques are for those who want to speed up their evolution. It is like pulling materials for a project and really clueing into how they merge towards each other. And then getting on a roll and pulling more and more palettes each one better than the next. We can get where we need to go by pulling one palette at a time, but it will take much longer than if we start clueing into a higher level of consciousness.
An Advanced Technique may involve the student learning a more advanced version of their existing mantra, or it may involve learning a more advanced method of using the mantra they already have received.
Locations and Scheduling
Each of the seminars can be enjoyed individually, with no obligation to complete all six. However the course must be completed in sequential order as one seminar leads naturally into the next.
