People here at Mount Soma’s Community Center and Student Union have been telling me they are receiving a lot of questions about the Bliss Course, previously known as the Awakening Course. We have renamed it the ‘Bliss Course’, as people have been referring to it that way. Some Ashram participants wrote the following and asked me to post it.
After receiving inquiries about the Bliss Course, as students of Dr. Mamas, we wanted to give you a sense of what a long-term course at Mount Soma is like.
Michael Mamas shapes all programs and courses for the evolution of individuals, the group, and the greater good. He is always responsive to the group consciousness and the flow of the moment, which gives variation and flex to everything. Courses are usually designed in harmony with the Ashram Program.
Here is a typical ashram day:
We begin with meditation at 7 AM. Afterwards, we have breakfast and then begin our morning projects. When he feels it is indicated, Dr. Mamas meets with everyone. Midday, we have a delicious homemade vegetarian meal. Over lunchtime, we often take a walk and enjoy the mountain air. We have a little more activity in the afternoon and then meditate again. In the evening, there are activities in the temple we can attend. After dinner, we often enjoy relaxing together and personal time before lights out at 10 PM.
This daily schedule of meditation, activity, and sleep supports our well being and promotes the integration of the Transcendent into our physiology and daily life.
The motivation for the Bliss Course is to support people’s evolution. All activities and projects are designed to help you catch the flow of the Cosmic Stream. When you’re at Mount Soma, there is a palpable feeling that is beyond description. It resonates with the deepest part of us and over time, the bliss wells up more and more…
Over the next week, we are hoping to put out some more information about the Bliss Course and possibly some videos of Michael Mamas discussing it.
Stay tuned!

Course Fee
Six Weeks: $1500
Three Months: $900 (This is not a typo.)
Start date is any day in June 2013 you would like.
In today’s world, bliss is often thought of as an intense experience on the surface of life. However, True Bliss is a sublime experience that exists at the depth of your being.
The group consciousness at Mount Soma offers the opportunity to touch into the field of True Bliss. We have been working for years to cultivate this place so you could enjoy such benefits. The purpose of the Awakening Course is to provide you with a taste of True Bliss.
Attaining enlightenment can be viewed as nothing more than breaking a bad habit. The habit is looking for bliss in ”all the wrong places.” That habit comes in many forms. Preconceived notions of what bliss means perpetuates the habit. It amounts to lifetimes of chasing one mirage after another. This summer, awaken to True Bliss!
Even when true bliss begins to dawn from within, at first it goes unnoticed. The habit keeps you distracted by things more superficial. It takes time to break the habit. This course offers you the opportunity to do just that.
We understand people are busy and it is hard to take time away. We are offering a shorter program to accommodate those who are unable to commit to the full three months. Of course, it is best to do the full program. We have made the full course an absurdly low price because we want to share this experience with as many people as possible.
Give us three months of openness to a new understanding, and we will introduce you to the universe of True Bliss.
Our motivation for the fee structure is to give you incentive to take maximum advantage of this opportunity. Your commitment is of the utmost importance.
If you register for the full course at $900 and decide to leave early for any reason, you will be expected to pay the additional $600.
If you sign up for the shorter course and decide to extend your stay, you will be required to pay an additional course fee of $900.
A new and deeper experience, understanding, and appreciation of bliss will transform your entire life. We are thrilled to share this opportunity with you!

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”
– Mahatma Ghandi
There is a very profound message here. Namely, that what underlies all of life, all of existence, is the Unified Field. It is a field of infinite harmony and perfection. It is the foundation upon which everything rests, just as the depth of the ocean supports all the waves on the surface. Everything comes from that and returns to it. That which is not in harmony with that, loses the support of that foundation, and is short lived.
One country may overtake another in battle, but in time, the people of that land renew their rule of that land. Every person, every nation, every thing has its own essential divine nature. To eventually come to rest in that is the course of all of life.
Nature supports.

“A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.” – Edward R. Murrow
Prejudice reaches far beyond the limits that most project upon it. This is particularly so in how one views ones own personal prejudices. Through prejudice, you create your world.
Most information is wrong information.
Putting all that together, you may feel there is little hope… no way out of the illusion. However, it is through the awareness of this nature of life combined with the dedication to Truth that you will navigate the waters of life and ultimately attain wisdom.
Life’s beauty lies in its elusive nature. The spiritual path is the path of discernment.
Discernment arises with the integration of heart and mind, both discovering their roots in the same one thing.

A comment including the question, “How do you fix a nation that doesn’t want to fix itself?” was posted in my last blog. My answer is below.
The solution to not only this but all problems is the same one thing: Awakening of world consciousness to pure consciousness.
By infusing pure consciousness (the Unified Field) into relative existence, all is healed. It is like watering the root of a plant to feed all aspects of the plant.
Pure consciousness is the underlying basis of all existence. It is the source of infinite harmony, peace, intelligence, awareness, health, divinity, wisdom, truth, etc.
It is as if a whirlpool of identity with that which is more superficial than pure consciousness has overtaken the world.
You too are pulled in that direction. To live better, humanity must look deeper. “Heat” is generated by the friction created when identity is too superficial… lost to relativity. To cool the planet is to move group consciousness more deeply. Otherwise we are merely rearranging the same old furniture in our home, hoping it will make the furniture new.
To answer directly your question, I say, Awaken world consciousness to pure consciousness, the Unified Field. The fastest and best way to do this is to build Unified Field Generators, i.e. Enlightened Cities. They will radiate the light of life to all existence. We are starting with one, Mount Soma. It will serve as a guiding light for humanity.
