Applying These Lessons
Welcome to the Beyond Ordinary View Study Course:
We are so happy to have you join us, and we welcome you with open hearts!
What We Need to Know About This Course
There is something important we want to understand right from the start: there are no right or wrong ways for us to take this Course. We will not be tested, and we will not be graded. The only thing we are asked to do is read the material regularly—every day if possible. That's it. Simple, right?
We might be wondering what makes this course different from ordinary book knowledge. Well, the knowledge we will gain here is special. We call it "divine Knowledge," and it is very different from the kind of information we memorize for tests at school.
Let's think about it this way: In regular classes, we are judged by how much we can remember. We study facts, take a test, and get a grade based on what we recall.
But divine knowledge doesn't work like that at all. Instead of measuring our success by what stays in our memory, we measure it by what actually changes inside of us—how we grow as people and how we experience life differently.
We don't need to remember a single thing from this course. That might sound strange, but it's true! When we read and focus our attention on the lessons—whether we choose to work on one lesson each week or go through all four lessons for the month—something amazing happens.
The principles and ideas naturally become part of who we are. They get installed in our minds and hearts without us even trying to memorize them.
As time goes on, we will start to notice changes in ourselves. The way we think about things will shift. We might find ourselves reacting differently to situations that used to bother us. We might be amazed at how divine knowledge works in real life.
Through this course, we will learn that knowledge and spirituality have different levels. As we progress, we unlock deeper understanding. We will discover that real spiritual teachings bring results that go far beyond simple ideas of "right" and "wrong."
Most of us spend a lot of energy trying to look good to others. We want to seem smart, kind, or successful. We call this "the ego's desire to look a certain way."
But this course teaches us something deeper. Instead of just appearing to be a certain way on the outside, we will learn how to actually be that way on the inside. We will experience the divine reality of genuine transformation, not just putting on a show for others.
As you progress through this course, we warmly encourage you to share your experiences by leaving a review on the IDTFellowship.org website. Your testimony could be the spark that inspires someone else to begin their own transformation. Whether you've noticed subtle shifts in your perspective or profound changes in your life, your story matters.
Others who are considering this journey need to hear from real people like you about how divine knowledge has touched your heart and changed your life. You may leave as many reviews or updates as you like—we love hearing about your ongoing growth and breakthroughs!
We really hope you will stick with this course and stay committed to your study and your progress. We know that life gets busy, and it's easy to let things slide. But we encourage you to remain steadfast—to keep showing up, keep reading, and keep growing.
Because this course has the power to rearrange our lives in the best possible way. It will change how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we experience the world around us. These changes will be real and lasting.
With that, we want to share blessings from everyone here at IDT Fellowship and from Yogi Jiananda himself. As we journey through this course together, may we feel surrounded by love and support. May the love we discover through these teachings fill our hearts forever and guide us toward becoming the best versions of ourselves.
Welcome again, and we are excited to be on this journey with you!
Very sincerely,
IDT World Fellowship
