Dear Readers,
As we reflect on 50 years of LBL, our thoughts are of course drawn to Michael. History will record his body of research as one of the great contributions to the evolution of human consciousness and he was passionate about us carrying on his work.
In 2013, he wrote something for our TNI LBL Therapists that clearly articulated what we are about and how we should undertake our work in a troubled world. At times we have quoted from this document, though it has not been shared publicly, in its entirety.
Now is the time, and here it is. These words offer an insight into a remarkable man, with a real passion for humanity’s evolution.
Best wishes
Peter Smith
President
A VISION OF OUR MISSION
We want to bring a new form of personal spiritual awakening to an ever expanding range of people around the globe. I see our mission as twofold. First, through training and supporting our practitioners and secondly, to foster public awareness of the benefits we are able to offer people seeking to uncover spiritual knowledge within their own minds. Our movement is designed to help human beings mentally become whole by connecting with the essence of Oneness in the life between lives and while in this life experiencing a transformational discovery of the true nature of their eternal soul within the matrix of a physical brain.
We were founded at the beginning of a new millennium. This was an auspicious time for an organization devoted to individual spiritual development. Today, the earth is in an international crisis of nationalistic fundamentalism with militant states coupled with overpopulation around the world. Drug abuse is rampant where many wish to escape from the reality of their lives. I believe that much of the frustration of people living in a more stressful, technological and environmentally challenged world comes from not knowing their true identity of Self, or purpose. Many feel lost and disconnected. Our basic goal then is to help people move beyond the mindless strife in their physical existence to an inner peace through self- discovery.
As we approach the tenth year of our existence, The Newton Institute is gaining a wider influence in a world that is becoming more difficult for the individual. We live in a time when self-determination is being eroded by globalization, multi-nationalism and internationalism. This intensification of institutional power and control over an ever expanding population stifles empowerment of the individual. The focus of what we do is devoted to the individual seeking answers to the age old questions of: who am I, where do I come from, why am I here and where am I going?
Cultural antagonism between people that often involves superstitious dogma seems to be diminishing slowly and we should contribute to this change. Much that divides us spiritually would be further diminished by the knowledge that we all come from the same spiritual sphere and will return at the end of our lives to the same universal place of origin, regardless of who we are, where we live and what we do. A belief that a divine power greater than ourselves exists, without human disciples but with personal spirit guides, would bring greater harmony to society. The healing of each individual that experiences a spiritual framework of loving order will help others whom they touch in society. In this way our message will expand by the work we do.
For spiritual unity to take place we cannot depend on the methods of current religious practices on the one hand, or science on the other to bring answers to the great mystery of life. Our organization is pledged to offer a new way with enlightenment springing from the mind of each individual, regardless of their prior institutional belief system or lack of it. In the complex world of the 21st century, people need the conviction more than ever that a divine universal consciousness exists within a pure spiritual order. They must discover this principle within their own minds for real conviction to take place. Eventually, if enough people come to this realization through our efforts, there will hopefully be a lessening of external conflict in our struggle for survival. The ethical compass of humanity would have a stronger meaning since it would come from personal enlightenment.
TNI teaches that the core purpose of souls who come to earth in their incarnations is to bring love, compassion and understanding to others who cross their lives. This moral imperative is blended into our personal karmic purpose to improve life on earth by our being here. Defining individual identity through our hypnosis methodology helps people advance the level of their own energy. The realization of our universal divinity as united souls on earth, each with a conscious knowledge of Self and purpose, would allow for a more positive destiny in our future on this planet. The dissemination of these ideas will allow TNI to grow larger and more effective in the process of expanding our mission in the world.
