Just one word. “Unconditional”.

For 2009, a new theme emerges out of Perfect-Pitch. Unconditional. It's the one word to enlightenment, not your enlightenment, just enlightenment where no ownership of "me" belongs. That me is way back in a story that was conditioned and programmed over the many years of your life.

Mark’s teaching is very simple, very straight forward and if followed (from a relative viewpoint) is a fast track to freedom. Reversing is another way of looking at this enquiry, going back through all the conditioning and ideas. Beyond religion, transcending spirituality, your ground tone stands alone because it is alone, empty yet totally full.

Mark Hans is happy to talk between the two dimensions of the Absolute and Relative, knowing that whilst there is no where to go and nothing to do, (keeping the non-dual people happy) having compassion for the story of life, which is felt as very real by almost everyone who experiences it, is essential as a starting point. Being told that it’s all a dream, that it’s all mind based is all very well, but until that is clearly seen, the paradox of this story can be very painful indeed.

However, Mark Hans goes immediately beyond “the story” and focuses on true self as a starting point (essence). This he encourages through regular Meditation, simple, straight forward and most enjoyable. From there he sets the focus on self enquiry, how stories are created and how they are constantly repeated by the process of time-space, the dimension of the mind through reference to past, carving out a future and veiling any view on what reality really is. He points to conditioning, copying patterns taught from childhood, demonstrating where shadow personalities dominate and how “what you think is what you are”. The bottom line is Live Life Unconditionally. Sounds easy, but is quite a challenge.

He specialises in small groups with a maximum of 25 participants. Other than in an open Satsang, this is the extent of his group work. He gives personal attention to each person, by name, by character and by spiritual experience.  He is open, lively, imaginative and has a great sense of humour (laughing at himself too). He uses three methods (concepts) to work with, mediation, talks, (Q&A) and finally Diksha. (Energy transmission work). He has extensive knowledge of Tantric practices and loves to drink a pint or two! “Keep it simple” is his direction, enjoy life is his heart energy. Over the past two years he has bought all of his close students to realisation with quite some ease through dedication and simple hard work. Anything is achievable if you really set your heart to work!

Mark Hans is English, born in Colchester and has his base in Amsterdam from where he teaches all over Europe, in the States and in India. He is a Bodhisattva. (dedicating his life to the liberation of others).

He travelled the world for 5 years full time with his teacher to study the 6 major world religions. His most recent pilgrimage was Japan for three months where he studied the art of Zen. He has no attachment to anything living unconditionally, he encourages participants to use those methods that they find easiest to work with.

The Shollond Trust is a UK charity set up to share the teachings and experiments of Douglas Harding (1909-2007), author of On Having No Head. Douglas first saw who he really was in 1942. He then developed a powerful set of tools that enable anyone to see who they really are. Visit our website for more information on the experiments. Richard Lang is the co-ordinator of the Trust. He leads workshops wherever he's invited. You can find out lots about this work on our website. Please get in touch if our 'headless' approach means something to you, or even if it doesn't! Warm regards, Richard

Why a Gnostic Spiritual School ?
Great changes and transformations are taking
place everywhere in the world. The one
transformation necessary, however, is the one
within the human being. Many people are
beginning to realize this and so seek for
fulfillment of life within themselves. Many are
occupied with spirituality and striving for higher
consciousness, but few have found what they
are seeking. And so the search continues.

Gnostic spiritual schools have always offered
seekers the possibility to return to the Godhead,
particularly in times when this possibility is
strong. The form these schools have taken, and
thus the symbolism and methods, have varied
according to time, place and culture. The
International School of the Golden Rosycross
has its roots in this tradition of mystery schools
in which the profound wisdom of the original
religion is explained and lived accordingly. By
actively living this process of change, the human
being can find the true goal of existence. Finally
the deepest longing of the heart is fulfilled and
one can then help others.

THERIACA - An Essential Elixir

Natural nutritional supplementation is no longer just a good idea —in todays world it is essential to maintain health and vitality. But with the vast array of supplements and herbal tea products on the market today, how do you choose which nutrients your body really needs?

Excellent nutrition has never been simpler and Tony Samara (www.TonySamara.org) will now explain the importance of Theriaca in our everyday life.

Tony says, “In today's world nutrition is vital. We may get occasional and life-sustaining nutrients from our everyday diet but to catch up and keep up with today's extraordinary demands we must seek out essential nutrients and minerals to flood our systems so that our health is not only optimal but our well-being is functioning at its peak.

This entails eating fresh and natural foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains, and nutrient dense herbs such as Theriaca that cleanse and supplement and super-charge the whole process of living that is missing in today's modern society.

The Weston A. Price Foundation speaks about the vitamins and nutrients present in fresh food becoming more optimum in the presence of certain naturally occurring co-factors such as trace minerals and vitamins. These trace minerals, vitamins and co-factors are abundantly present in Theriaca and are what give this product its tremendous life-giving synergy.

Part of what makes Theriaca an essential part of our daily routine is its supply of an incredible depth and breadth of critical anti-oxidants like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and a host of other key micro-nutrients including saponins which have been found to support the immune system in an incredible and remarkable way.

All of the ingredients have centuries of tradition and are supported by impressive research and today are being discovered as wonder nutrients by the scientific community.

The unique ingredients have powerful anti-aging, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor as well anti-oxidant properties of awesome proportions. Studies of these compounds confirm that they protect, heal and even reverse modern day sicknesses. These powerful ingredients revitalise the bodies most fragile tissues preventing abnormal cell growth. They help stop oxidation, inflammation and the damaging cycle of disease before it starts.

Historically mankind used herbs as a powerful means to protect and enhance health and well-being helping to create longevity, rejuvenation and a sense of extraordinary well-being that helps us today to re-experience these extraordinary health benefits.

Theriaca is a powerful nutritive energiser and cleanser. It works gently yet when taken for 2 or 3 months creates an amazing balance that is sensed not only on the physical level but also in the mind and the emotions. This balance is due to its synergistic and adaptogenic effects.

Modern society has shown an increase in many physiological and psychological problems such as insomnia, irritability, lack of energy as well as cancer, heart problems, diabetes and immune disorder.

The good news is that we today know that many rare essential minerals and nutrients can reverse and prevent what has become a major issue for many of us despite modern advances in medicine.”
