(The Video series is FREE) This group is for those who wish to participate in GIC's Dr. Bernard Alvarez' ongoing lecture series. (Beginning Jan. '11) Every week Bernard will present a video class on the metaphysical arts. Topics will vary from week to week and students will be given an assignment to be completed at their own pace. Each Class and Discussion will be presented in chronological order and new students are asked to start at the beginning and take a week to practice the exercises offered therein while completing the proposed assignment.

Due to time constraints and an already overwhelming schedule Bernard will not be taking questions VIA the discussions or comments section and hopes those participating will aid one another with any particulars that will arise. With this, those who feel the need for more personal instruction, Bernard has offered to extend his consultation services for his nominal consulting fee of $25.00 for up to 30 min. for a phone consultation if you should feel the need for further explanation and discourse on a particular lesson.

Those interested in a more structured learning environment, Bernard has agreed to take up to 10 personal students VIA email for a monthly offering of $20.00 in which the student will receive one on one instruction and will be expected to deliver their assignments weekly.

NOTE from Bernard - I am very excited to offer everyone this new series and hope it will help answer many questions for all of you. I feel now is the time for me to get back to my roots as an instructor and share what I once shared with my own CODL group. I take my work very seriously and for those who wish to become personal students I ask that you have the following:

- Must be over 18.

- Have a reasonable grasp of the English language.

- Be willing to write in essay form.

- Have a good grasp of personal discipline.

- No overwhelming psychiatric disorders or Addictions ( I am not a shrink or drug counselor. ) Stress, anxiety and socially partying are fine.

( You can apply to be one the 10 students chosen by sending your personal email address to the GIC Contact with your name and a brief description of yourself and why you want to be a personal student of Bernard's.)

I look forward to sharing my experience and knowledge with all of you no matter what capacity you choose. Good luck and enjoy. - Dr. Bernard Alvarez
