School of Spiritual Mastery

Master Teacher David Bruce Hughes

Esoteric Teaching Seminars is the premiere online resource for spiritual education. Here you can obtain the most precious thing in existence: transcendental knowledge of the soul, by which all ignorance is destroyed. This knowledge comes from Vedānta-sūtra, the ultimate knowledge of the Vedas, the world's oldest and most complete spiritual culture.

In this world of ignorance and suffering, spin and disinformation, there is a tremendous need for enlightened souls who can reveal the clear Absolute Truth to sincere souls who desire it. The purpose of Esoteric Teaching Seminars is to train powerful self-realized spiritual Master Teachers to give practical knowledge of self-realization for the good of humanity and the world.

What is the use of this knowledge? After all, it is only information. But consider the knowledge, "There is a great treasure buried under the southeast corner of your house." It is only information, but it makes self-evident what you have to do to gain great benefit. Similarly, the Esoteric Teaching is 'only' complete information about the soul, the Supreme, and how to attain self-realization. Self-realization is the complete solution to all problems; and to anyone who completely understands this Teaching, the path to complete self-realization becomes completely self-evident.

Our teachings and services are free. This is not a commercial business, nor even an ordinary religious or spiritual group, but a transcendental Esoteric School where sincere individuals can learn the Absolute Truth, apply it to solve all the problems of life, and share it with others. Even if you have had contact with other spiritual groups, you have never encountered a school like this before: we really are giving the complete Absolute Truth, and the process to realize it for yourself.

Our Master Teacher training program has three steps:

1. Study the preliminary materials on this website.
2. Practice this Teaching, become an Initiate and then a Teacher.
3. Establish your own Esoteric School and deliver this Teaching to others.

The Esoteric Teaching is Vedānta, the confidential conclusions of the Vedas, the world’s most ancient and complete lineage of spiritual knowledge. Veda means truth, and anta means the end; therefore Vedānta is the ultimate knowledge, the Absolute Truth. Vedānta is very advanced; to understand it properly, some preliminary studies are required. Therefore our basic program is as follows:

• Watch the videos and hear the podcasts on the site.
• Register as a student and take online courses like:
  • Secrets of the Soul
  • Problems of Life and Their Solution
  • Śrī Īṣopaniṣad
  • Bhagavad-gītā
• Participate in the online community forum and weekly online Satsang.
• Practice the principles and methods of the Teaching in your daily life.
• Travel to our International Retreat Center for the Master Course.
• Study Vedānta personally with a Master Teacher and accept Initiation.
• Develop your own unique personal teaching style and materials.
• Return to your place of residence and open your own Esoteric School.

Although our focus is the exalted philosophy of Vedānta, we also provide subspecialties such as transcendental music and art, Vedic astrology [Jyotish], transcendental ontology and others. Every student is a unique personality, and so especially in the higher stages, the curriculum is customized to the individual.

We hope your experience here is fulfilling and brings you the greatest happiness: complete self-realization and real knowledge of the Absolute Truth.
