Energy which is not yours contains wishes, tendencies, and opinions which are not those of your soul. If someone else's energy is in your space, it clouds your judgment. For example, when you find an uncontrollable emotion, it has large components of someone else's energy. Emotions composed of your own energy may be unpleasant, but you will always have some resources to use them appropriately. If your energy is in someone else's aura, it not only retards their growth, it is unavailable to you. As you sort your energy out, the effect will be astonishing, the benefit immeasurable.

| Greetings!
Our paths are not always clear, but there are meditations and exercises that can help us know ourselves better, focus our energies, and clear our auras of the energies of others.
Our goal is to provide training in practical meditation that can impact our daily lives, the lives of others, and our experience of the world. Skillful use of our energy can even change our karma.
Please join us at one of our community events or workshops! |

John Friedlander
Author, psychic, teacher
John grew up in Georgia and began his metaphysical education more than 30 years ago during college. He earned degrees from Duke University and Harvard Law School, spent time in India, studied with Lewis Bostwick at the Berkley Psychic Institute in California and joined channel Jane Roberts' "Seth" class. John practiced law from 1974-1989, and began to teach classes in psychic awareness in 1982.
Today, John concentrates on teaching students how to develop awareness to engage life more skillfully and meaningfully. He is available for private readings in addition to his seminar schedule. John and his wife live in Saline, Mich. | |
A Student's Perspective
I was at a point in my life where I was looking for answers. I noticed my life was taking on a pattern that I did not wish to repeat. And I was sensing from others that it was in my power to change and not be left to life's circumstances. I wanted to take more control of my destiny with regard to relationships and the men in my life. I was ready and open for change.
My sister has been working with John for more than 20 years and I wanted to explore the system. I'm forever grateful to her that she introduced me to John. I must say that words like "psychic," "channeling" and "reading" were not in my world at the time. I was interested in how I could change my reaction to the world in order to bring about change in my life and my relationships.
I've been studying with John nearly a year now and I can honestly say it's what I've been searching for on a spiritual level for my entire life. Not only have I been introduced to tools that enable me to have those better relationships, but I have met a number of wonderful new friends and have a sense of community that I have not had in my life before now. Thank you all!

2007 Spring Intensive: The Details You've Been Waiting For!
Twice a year we have seminars in which we use various resources-- channeled energy, the group's energy, and dedicated time -- to leap forward in our spiritual practice. These intensives are designed and lead by guides John channels and they explore topics outside our core curriculum. Topics covered are chosen and developed in the dream state over a period of months specifically for the people who will attend. Already, we can feel the energy work going on in the dream state for this spring's intensive in Ann Arbor the evening of May 4th through May 6.
John never knows exactly what will be covered in an intensive, for there is lots of spontaneity. We expect to cover, extend, and enhance what we covered in last year's spring intensive; a subplane by subplane exploration of the seven planes, each with seven subplanes, as described in the Theosophical literature of the early 1900s. We are unaware of any other place where one can learn systematically how to find these specific energies. Their very specificity allows otherwise fuzzy and unstandardized concepts like soul and spirit to be encountered with accuracy and skill. Finding these energies adds powerful tools for healing and growth.
One way in which we may extend last year's exploration is to learn to see the various spiritual bodies as the early 20th century Theosophists did, a vision quite unlike any of the psychics today of whom we are aware. Beginning around the 1960s, it seems a more emotionally centered perception became the psychic norm, serving the necessary purpose of centering the spiritual practice of perception on the encounters of every day life. Revisiting now the perceptual style of the older Theosophists will add a depth and power to the more modern and emotionally authentic path that is the norm today.
While the topics covered in these intensives are fascinating and useful, often, advanced material will be introduced that is beyond most, if not all of our understanding. It is introduced both as a preparation for and as a foretaste of things to come. Most people will experience some material that they do not understand; but by basking in the channeled energy, unconscious changes are made that both open us to respond more resourcefully to events in the present and prepare us to understand advanced topics in the future. Much material will be covered that we understand and is immediately usable consciously, but all of the material is designed to move us forward, with or without intellectual understanding. Those people who become comfortable without necessarily understanding all the material benefit most. Those who come can expect quite a ride, with multiple benefits in many planes.
One new benefit that should greatly extend the power and usability of the seminar is that there will be a free follow-up class by conference call about a month later, and subsequent monthly classes for a small fee. |

Foundations in Psychic Development I: Boundaries and Flow
Learning how to be aware of, and how to transform our aura transforms our love and life experiences. In this seminar, every exercise furthers the development of at least one of the two basic abilities: finding one's own psychic energy (one's own authentic impulses); and clearing blocks to progress. Students learn how to ground and run energy, how to clear blocks, how to find, clear, and repair the chakras, and how to explore deeply the entire volume and frequency range of the aura (called the layers of the aura).

Foundations in Psychic Development II:
Space, Seniority, Neutrality and Spiritual Fuel
In this two-day workshop, we will develop a deep understanding of how we use our own aura space to create our reality. We begin with psychic explorations that familiarize us with our space, and how we subdivide it through resistance to others. We can then learn to create our aura space through awareness rather than resistance. In the resulting neutrality, we become able to create our reality less and less through resistance to another, and more and more from our own spiritual fuel.
Prerequisite: Level I |
Foundations in Psychic Development III: Seeing Auras
In this two-day workshop we will explore the psychic anatomy of clairvoyance, or seeing auras; how to activate and empower this perception; and several ways to use this ability in making decisions, in healing oneself and others, and in deepening one's understanding of oneself and others. We will then move to actually doing comprehensive, systematic psychic readings in partnership with fellow students. Participants usually find they can easily increase their ability to perceive genuinely useful aura energies in just this one weekend, and that they are well started on the adventure of a lifetime.
|
Foundations in Psychic Development IV: Channeling
Learn the clairvoyant mechanics of skillful channeling -- how to prepare your space for channeling by running an ever clearer white light vibration while still owning and governing who and what occupies your space. This requires clearing psychic agreements, karma, and thought forms that distort both ordinary awareness and channeling.
