FIRMLY ESTABLISHED PEACE

Firmly established  peace is an effortless actual realization of peace moment to moment. Never
being overwhelmed at any time by any situation regardless of how traumatic it is as well as not
being overwhelmed by even the slightest occurrence – just not being overwhelmed period,
anywhere anytime for any reason - moment to moment effortless freedom.

It is not an intellectual or emotional approach, nor does it require an intellectual or emotional
resistance in any form to succeed.  Actually, the intellect and emotions together with moment-to-
moment occurrences, which provide unlimited potential for growth, become the very tools
enabling one to effortlessly regain the freedom inherently available.

Ironically spirituality itself is transcended, effectively releasing oneself from conceptual limitations.
One cannot realize this through the intellect or even feel as if they have it. An
Actualized
Realization
is achieved which is as effortless as seeing, hearing etc. Beyond being
overwhelmed by thoughts, emotions or any situation.

                                              WORK SHOP/LIFE COURSE

Work Shop/Life Course is a Dynamic Orientation/Alignment before the 1st Module or Part 1 of
GAP the (Gentle Awakening Program). These work-shops include an introduction to obstacles,
which overwhelm us, increase stress, and prevent continual awakening/integration of
consciousness as well as Special Processes and Entrainments (see below). It enables one to
experience a broad spectrum of what is available in the Awakening Programs and Awakening
Entrainments as well as introduction to The EnerQiArts programs. Most significantly it provides a
unique orientation of consciousness.

                                                AWAKENING PROGRAMS

The teaching agenda for Awakening Programs repeatedly reflects integration with normal life
situations. Essential to the program’s is an experiential progressive realization followed by
refinements, which softens and dissolves obstacles including buttons, and patterns that prevent us
from Full Awakening to our level of consciousness, which we have thus far achieved. Awakening
Programs is the primary factor needed to effortlessly integrate spirituality/ peace in our moment-to-
moment life, rather then only experiencing spiritual moments/ peace in sadhana (spiritual
practices) or at peak times of  happiness, bliss and/or euphoria. Most everyone can feel peace in
these peak times but progressively loose this peace in life’s trial and tribulations. Major factors of
these Awakening Programs is that the processes, are spontaneous, practical, and effortless, and
transcends itself rather then becoming fixed on a concept. These Awakening Programs must be
taught in a real world straightforward manner, which precisely pinpoints the traps/obstacles to
firmly establishing peace as they naturally unfold spontaneously from multiple perspectives with
the participant’s interaction; again not in a strictly lecture format or 'airy fairy' everything is
wonderful atmosphere, as it must reflect all aspects of life moment to moment. Fully integrated
(grounded) spirituality is the epitome of practicality and the herein Awakening Programs reflect
this; otherwise it will not be grasped and utilized effectively through out our daily lives. Another
words it must be real and each participant creates that reality with their interaction. Therefore no
two courses will be alike.

It requires a personalized program of groups or individually to get a major shift -usually to firmly
establish peace - as each class Dr. G. has conducted in groups of one on one since 1993 have
been unique yet lead to the same outcome - integrating consciousness (peace) into daily activity.   
In other words there is no format to be followed yet there is a progression, depending on the
group dynamics, which may be achieved. The progression may be – buttons – patterns -
effortless meditation - traps of the mind –anchors – concepts - etc. with attention to and elimination
of being overwhelmed at each state of consciousness by fear, etc. It must be done in a question
and answer interaction, not just lecture.

PEP
These programs are designed to soften/dissolve overwhelming buttons and patterns, which we
are aware of. The program is lecture/guidance based with discussion/interaction. Dr. G has been
teaching the 1st Module  to staff, friends and patients, since 1993 in a business, clinical and or
spiritual and non-spiritual format, as well as to enlightened ones who needed more integration or
when they were ready to move to a higher state of enlightenment. The success rate with all has
been 99 %+; i.e. to integrate the consciousness level currently achieved, enabling one to more
fully utilize consciousness and become less and less overwhelmed. We tend to innocently utilize
our available consciousness predominately to enhance stress unknowingly. Historically PEP has
progressively put an end to this as quickly as the participants allow it. In 2007 PEP was  revised
into a business format only called PEP+.  PEP also gave birth to the Gentle Awakening Program
(GAP), which is a spiritually based format.  As always, PEP+/GAP/ GAP+ will be designed
according to the needs of a particular group or individual.

GAP
Gentle Awakening Program is a revised program (2007) originating from PEP taught in a
spiritual format only. PEP was originally taught in all formats however due to a rapid increase in
interest nationally and internationally the courses were renamed to more effectively organize and
serve each group or individual participant.

GAP+
Gentle Awakening Program + (plus), is an expanded program (similar to the business format of
PEP+) designed to provide an approach for any spiritually based group including special
programs for that particular group or individual which may include spiritual entrainments (see
below). These programs may consist of Qi Gong, Pranic Energy, Entrainments, and other
programs, as the needs of each group are determined.  
See Curriculum Vitae for background
information. A recent example of GAP+ may be a Part one spiritually based nonreligious athletic
program, which began in December 2007 has continued on through out 2009 with Part 2.

PEP+
Productive Energy Program + (plus), is a specialized Part 1 –2  - 3 program with Special
Processes/Programs for businesses/industry which may include a more concentrated regimen of
Entrainments. PEP+ will integrate and blend the most effective practical aspects of spirituality and
empirically proven methods (
Testimonial Tab) into a program beyond stress management for the
businessperson through out the world. As of 2009 PEP+ is now designed for executives as a pilot
program for introduction into their industry/business.

None of these programs are inherently religious or dogmatic; however there have been
very religious individuals and groups of people who have benefited from these courses.
Infinite and eternally flexible firmly established  peace  is whole, full, and complete and
applicable to any sphere of thought, belief, philosophy, science, nonreligious or
religious. None of these programs requires or negates any science, philosophy, religion
or nonreligious perspective. Therefore these programs can and will serve any one who
sincerely has made firmly established peace a priority in their life.

                                                 AWAKENING MEDITATIONS

GEM
GAP/GAP+/PEP+ includes a Gentle, Effortless Meditation (GEM), which is essential to firmly
establishing peace, and awakening. As GEM/GAP/GAP+/PEP+ is more refined, one is able to
utilize this awakening and
Actualized Realization moment to moment effortlessly. How can one
be in peace or be awakened if it requires effort? Any mental effort is interpreted by the mind as
stress. What you resist persist and where the attention goes the energy goes. Therefore the
energy goes to any thing you resist, which creates stress from mental effort. Remember you
cannot fool Mother Nature no matter how subtly you attempt to disguise it (resistance) or what you
call it or feel about it. We tend to innocently utilize our available consciousness predominately to
enhance stress unknowingly. This program enables one to awaken inherently available peace
and become less and les overwhelmed effortlessly. All of GAP/PEP’s teaching agenda
repeatedly reflects integration in normal life situations. As GEM/GAP is refined one can effectively,
effortlessly remain centered, aligned and progressively  and effortlessly culture more and more
peace in their lives. Please see more examples written below.

                                                        ENTRAINMENTS

EXACTLY WHAT ARE ENTRAINMENTS?
Entrainments are a naturally occurring phenomenon in which similar frequencies tend to
synchronize with each other.

Entrainments are a physics phenomenon of resonance, first observed in the 17th century, which
has an effect on all of us. Entrainment is defined as the tendency for two oscillating bodies to lock
into phase so that they vibrate in harmony. It is also defined as a synchronization of two or more
rhythmic cycles. The principle of entrainment is universal, appearing in chemistry, pharmacology,
biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, astronomy, architecture, SPIRITUALITY and more.
The classic example shows individual pulsing heart muscle cells. When they are brought close
together, they begin pulsing in synchrony. Another example of the entrainment effect is women
who live in the same household may find that their menstrual cycles will coincide.

DISCOVERY OF ENTRAINMENT

The history of entrainment is linked to Dutch scientist, Christian Huygens in 1665. While working
on the design of the pendulum clock, Huygens found that when he placed two of them on a wall
near each other and swung the pendulums at different rates, they would eventually end up
swinging in at the same rate. This is due to their mutual influence on one another.

Entrainment phenomena – the synchronization of two or more autonomous rhythmic processes –
have been identified in many natural systems. When one physically oscillating system entrains
another, it means that the timing of repetitive motions by one system influence motions by another
oscillator such that they fall into a simple temporal relationship with each other. These
phenomena seem to be universal and can be understood within a common framework of
nonlinear system dynamics that has been developed mainly in physics, mathematics,
engineering, and natural sciences. Historically, entrainments are also known by many names in
different religions or philosophies such as Blessing, Benediction, Darshan, Shakti, Chi Kung,
Pranic energy etc. but
scientifically they are just called entrainments. Whom would have
ever thought or believed that a blessing may have been validated scientificly? As we approach
the realm of the Unified Field (the source of quantum physics) we are realizing the the validity of a
unified source even in science.


                                                AWAKENING ENTRAINMENTS

Awakening entrainments are a naturally occurring phenomenon in which similar frequencies
synchronize with the most harmonious frequency when facilitated by a qualified practitioner.
Spiritual entrainments will inherently spiritually expand ones level of consciousness. There are
many entrainments including non-clinical applications, which may have healing and awakening
effects. Entrainments are administered in various forms such as hands on cranial, eyesight and
intentional entrainments.

There is spiritual empirical evidence that entrainments (metaphorically) update the hardware in
the brain/ body in order to expand Consciousness. It is said to harmonize the over activity of the
Occipital lobes and the Limbic system as well as the brain stem and similar areas as well as
enlivening the Prefrontal Cortex. With GAP/GAP+/PEP any expansion of consciousness  
becomes self-evident especially with entrainments.

It is important to realize any entrainments including Spiritual Entrainments are something that you
cannot do for your self no matter how much sadhana (spiritual practices) you do, otherwise
most
sincere sadhaka’s (those who perform spiritual practices) would be enlightened already and
unfortunately this is not the case. In other words meditation alone will  not firmly establish peace
moment to moment in activity.

SUMMARY
Awakening Entrainments (metaphorically) integrate the hardware of the brain and  update’s the
hardware to provide the physical dimension, tone and resonance of consciousness. However, to
stabilize consciousness in all dimensions, and utilize it effectively, it is necessary to integrate it with
(software) - GAPGAP+/PEP+ - in order to move more efficiently, and successfully into higher
states of consciousness, while becoming firmly established/integrated in your present state of
consciousness, particularly as it expands. Therefore GAP/GAP+/PEP+ provides the necessary
software, where as it enables one to utilize their state of consciousness fully, moment to moment.
With the potential of entrainments to expand consciousness GAP/GAP+/PEP+ (integration)
becomes more essential as one progresses. With this combination GAP/GAP+/PEP+,
integrated  consciousness is progressively an
Actualized Realization at your present level of
consciousness. Adding entrainments to this combination consciousness is enabled to integrate as
it expands to greater, fuller and more complete wholistic levels of refinements.

GEM
        
A gentle effortless practical meditation program ENLIVENS CLARITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
This program is effortlessly expanded to be effective through out your waking day. Based on
spiritual principles of effortless meditation it is however a specialized method which transcends all
concepts including spiritual concepts. This program as well as GAP/GAP+/PEP+ is as effortless
as seeing, tasting, feeling, hearing, and smelling.

GEM+
An advanced program to GEM.

GAP/GAP+/PEP+
Integrates all levels of consciousness, disentangles the emotional, mental entanglements at each
level, softening and dissolving the obstacles of awareness/peace of mind.

Provides
SOFTWARE INTEGRATION, updates and support as needed.

It is the
HOW TO UTILIZE CONSCIOUSNESS moment to moment PEACEFULLY.

It does not change (update) the software (as entrainments do), that is up to you if you so choose
but it does integrate it with your consciousness. If you have firmly established peace and  freedom
from being overwhelmed then you may not need this program. However, The Levels Of
Integration For Enlivenment Of Consciousness Program (LIFE) would then be of benefit.
All of these programs include GEM.

GAP+/PEP+
Includes GAP or PEP and Specialized Programs/ Processes.

AWAKENING ENTRAINMENTS      
Spiritually integrates the prefrontal cortex with the spine and the rest of the body and the emotional
system enhancing spiritual awareness.
INTEGRATES THE HARDWARE.
Also, Spiritually facilitates a neurobiological shift especially in the prefrontal cortex, occipital lobe
and Limbic system and the entire body, to provide a physical harmonious anchor of
consciousness.
UPDATES THE HARDWARE.

                                                        HOW IT ALL WORKS

The Awakening Entrainments are intended to synchronize with the most harmonious frequency
of nature (biologically and spiritually). The Awakening Meditations provides an enlivened clarity of
consciousness and the Awakening Programs effortlessly integrates consciousness into activity
moment to moment. Essentially the key to success is complete and total effortlessness beyond
thought or emotions to re-cultivate continuous uninterrupted peace, which we have not
experienced since infancy, but now with the maturity of an adult. How could life be peaceful if we
had to concentrate, contemplate, visualize, and or think positively each and every moment or
even occasionally albeit passively resisting our thoughts, emotions and life itself as it flows through
its negative and positive waves and cycles?  We cannot fool Mother Nature by even passively
resisting any of these overwhelming moments, thoughts, emotions through any of the
aforementioned methods, or any other, which avoids life. Please see example below.

                                                               EXAMPLE

You may or may not be aware of your-self, rationalizing, manipulating, intellectualizing, emotions,
thoughts, action, or deeds in order to always have and hold on to peace of mind, happiness etc.
As you know what you resist persists. Therefore the more one craves or seeks peace the more
the passive attention (energy) goes to avoiding the lack of peace (we cannot fool Mother Nature).
This subtle and often times hidden (subconscious) agenda is to avoid that which is not peaceful.
Since you cannot fool Mother Nature, the mind then amplifies these aversions (energy). However
there is no need to manipulate anything such as your thoughts, emotions, action, or deeds. This
is just one of the traps of the mind as well as judging, craving, aversions, etc. Paradoxically what
you resist will definitely persist! That is if you resist, avoid, replace, tolerate, escape- ANY AND
ALL - judging, craving, aversions, etc they will only persist with greater energy albeit subtly,
consciously, subconsciously or unconsciously. Therefore you just continue to be trapped and
stuck at deeper levels without these Awakening Programs, Meditations and Entrainments. Isn't
this how life usually progresses? Yet if we attempt to not resist it, this is also resistance that
eventually brings us full circle back to more stress. It must be noted that the traps of the mind are
infinite and with out being guided with GAP/GAP+/PEP+, integration has been extremely rare
even with enlightened beings. David R. Hawkins “Power vs. Force” points out that 50% of those
who are spontaneously enlightened are not integrated and cannot fully function at their acquired
level of consciousness. Actually if peace of mind is not awakened and utilized moment-to-
moment no one can function fully at any level of consciousness. Therefore it is imperative that the
traps are exposed with Awakening Programs to integrate efficiently and enable one to more
clearly respond moment-to-moment with action instead of reaction.

                                   THE UNIQUENESS OF THESE PROGRAMS

"Many  speak of what needs to be done intellectualy, but none teach experientially exactly how to
obtain it. How to effortlessly disentangle the entanglements of the mind and provide the
experiential actualized realization, which the Awakening Programs do in order for the
obstacles/traps to peace to become a thing of the past enabling you to remain in the presence of
the present, without being overwhelmed even by it, which is the only place peace exists. This is
not an intellectual or emotionally based approach otherwise many more would have firmly
established peace already.

Peace is just with in our reach. It is our birthright and is effortless. Yet we have habitually and
innocently been taken away from it. Now it is time to move forward into an expanded comfort
zone of peace every moment.

As a sincere seeker, I have searched the world for the most effective way to know and serve
others - to firmly reestablish peace moment to moment. I will drop any of this and add anything to
it or totally revise it if I find anything to be more effective in awakening peace in each of us through
out the world. This curriculum (Spiritual Awakening Courses) is comparable to a Ph.D. in
spirituality, a direct east/west, proven approach since 1993 to firmly establish peace moment to
moment regardless of the situation.

Weather you are new to spirituality or have spent a life time at it I am sure you would like to be
able to utilize all that you learn from it in your daily activity moment to moment in the most
effortless manner possible. Experts in Spirituality, Teachers of it, psychics and novices as well
have benefited immensely from these courses. Why should you only experience peace or
freedom when you are doing your sadhana (spiritual practices) or when things are going well for
you? One would think or feel that spiritual practices should have no barriers including life itself
regardless of tragedies, traumas, and ups and down or even seemingly little things, which
overwhelm you. PEP (The Productive Energy Program) and now with GAP (the Gentle
Awakening Program) has been extremely effective in doing just that since 1993. It is as effortless
as seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling, thinking, and feeling emotions. Since March of
2006 I have begun to make it available to everyone, instead of only my staff, patients, and friends."
