Buddha, Mohammed, Shankaracharya, Guru Nanak, Vyasa, St. Theresa, Annie Besant, Madame Blavatsky, were all advanced souls of the human race. We are moving irresistibly towards the same goal. That is only the next plateau in human evolution, on an infinite ladder of evolution. The absolute will always send advanced souls to guide the race. In time, it has been said, we are meant to become gods on other planets. This is through the millennia.
Right now, the difference between moving from human to transhuman consciousness has been equated to the difference between what we are today and an animal, let's say a dog; that is the difference between what we are now and what we will become.

We hope to demonstrate that genius can be cultivated and that there will be a few of these aspirants in this environment for five years, who will develop multiple forms of genius that will eventually change scientific concepts about mind and matter.
Right now, scientists say that the genes determine the breadth and the scope of our intelligence, and they are correct. But when the kundalini awakens, even the genes are transformed. Then there are no rules, then we can blossom into all forms of prodigies and expressions. That is our future, and our destiny. We are all on the same ship, heading for destination unknown. We are all moving towards the same port, only we
