The online course is gathered on this page, which is organised in tabs. This, the Welcome tab, an Overview tab, 5 Session-tabs and a Moving On-tab. You can access the different tabs right above this writing. During your work with the contents in taking the course, as well as during any continued work with the contents, you are welcome to make use of the overview, to help you address particular aspects or tools in the recordings.   Working with the Contents The 5-session setup is prepared for your journey through - in choosing either a very concentrated and intensive 5-day stretch or application over a 5 week stretch of working even deeper with the contemplations and investigations invited in each of the sessions.   5 day plan You can engage with the course in a 5-day stretch of highly intense daily engagement with the transmissions in talks, meditations and contemplations. Going with the 5-day plan you are encouraged to plan for a full week of engagement – calling for full focus on your deepening with the contents of transmission in a setup of retreating at home. You are invited to create the time and space needed to engage with full focus. You can arrange yourself for days of social silence, with engagement applied only to practice in meditations, reception of transmission in talks, to movement every day of walking and perhaps movement to music, along finally with engagement in the contemplations with a notebook. You can furthermore support your journey by allowing a return to simplicity in both the drinking of plenty of water and by simplifying your eating to healthy and nutritious food, which will assist your integration of and alignment with the transmissions.   5 week plan The second plan is that of a weekly engagement - running over 5 weeks. A plan of engagement, which can be integrated alongside your daily life. This plan encourages the integration of and deepening in Truth with the daily Life and requires a balancing between attending responsibilities with Care and engaging with ongoing accuracy and focus to the deepening with the video-material and contemplations. Each week can be planned for an ongoing engagement with and return to the core of your investigations, throughout the course, and your self-discipline is needed to attend continuously with inner engagement on the topic, in the time between your engagement with the video material. Watching and re-watching the week's videos can be deeply beneficial for a continued deepening with and understanding of the keys of consciousness delivered. In this way the benefit of this form of engagement entirely depends on your level of engagement with the contemplations, the transmission and the practice in meditation.   Engaging with Contemplations With each sessions follows a set of contemplations, which invites you to turn your attention towards the investigations of your own ways, assumptions, strategies and other aspects which all play a part in our way around the topics of this online course.

Which feelings are hard for you and therefore not readily available for your consciousness to be at Peace/in Silence with, and which feelings directly escape you? How much space does Truth have in your closest relations? In journeying intimately with other people, we face the fact of a world of people with varying degrees of loyalty to and openness towards Truth.
