Everyone knows - unless you've been living under a rock the past 40 years - that we are living in a transitional period of human history and that something new and unprecedented is coming on the scene (cf., the New Age Movement). However, most of us are not yet aware of the changes and Revolution that is about to take place in knowledge and the sciences, which can alone provide the necessary foundation for this New World and New Race - namely, the Absolute science which will be taught in all the schools and universities of the world.

There are many topics in The Jedi Handbook, but tonight I will talk about the One topic I feel will be the most beneficial for all of us. Since we are collectively in the act of creating and giving birth to a New Race and thus are called upon to transform, as Nietzsche says, from Man to Superman and Superwoman, my chosen topic is, "God and Goddess Realization-And How to do it (Or: How to be all you can be)."

Some of the issues we will discuss are:
(1) The Primary Key to transformation or God or Self-realization. Namely: The Truth, according to Absolute Science, is that Reality or What Is, is ABSOLUTELY ONE (Religion calls this one infinite Reality "God", Science calls it the "Universe"). Hence in truth, right now and eternally, You are and can only be One with this One Reality which eternally is (cf., Shankara's teaching of Advaita & Non-Duality), hence there is no separation between yourself and everybody-everything else, despite what your 5-senses tell you (cf., "Do not follow the call of your senses," The Bhagavat Gita). This means that to be enlightened there is nothing you have to do except realize this One Truth.
(2) The obvious next question is: How do you do it? As there are thousands of ways to do it, I will just give you a few of the basic points that underlie all of the various ways. Here is a short list:

The main obstacle to realization is the Other people who surround you who are living in the "Soup" or Plato's Cave of the material senses, who are constantly insisting that you believe what they believe, or their version of reality-viz., separateness and "what's in it for me?"
The way to break the power they have over you is to 1) make the decision to dedicate your life to healing the world and yourself, etc (discussed in the "Jedi Power Ethics" section of my book); 2) constantly Meditate and do e.g. LOVE/TRUTH-Affirmations: e.g., God is love, so You be love too; if you indulge the emotions of Fear and Hate you separate yourself from God, Love, Reality, & Truth. Open up your Heart Center (Chakra) = LOVE (Agape), because your true essence is Love (practice saying "I love you" all the time, etc). 3) Join a group that knows and wants the Truth and practices it daily, i.e., 24/7/365: there is power in numbers.
Relationships (Self-Other) are very, very important, if done right (triadically, not dyadically). The main point is that You, in reality and right now, ARE COMPLETE (are divine, a "God," Elohim). Hence the only purpose a relationship can have is to help each other realize their completeness ("two emotional invalids joined at the hip" or "co-dependence" is the worst case scenario). Here Berdyaev's teaching is especially important: "you are not a man or a woman (a "bisected" or "halved" being), you are a Jedi "Androgyn" (a complete being); we will discuss the truth about Sex (latin: secare) and the need to utterly transcend gender, while preserving it in a special way; and also how to transmute eros (your 2nd chakra) into agape (your 4th chakra), the true goal of every romantic relationship, etc, etc.
