Beginning your journey with the Temple of the Original Thunder Online is very easy!

Superself is an Empowering experience that will supply you with the core view, orientation, and life-enriching methods of our work.
With practice and application, you can use what you've learned in Superself to completely Transform and Uplevel in the school of Life!
Embodiment
Having students learn the curriculum is nice, but seeing students Embody the curriculum is miraculous!
At the Temple of the Original Thunder, there is a heavy emphasis on correct View & Orientation, Awareness & Willpower, and Clarity & Wisdom.
The path is very Clear, yet it is only natural that we sometimes stumble off course. With such cloudiness Embodiment becomes difficult.
But with the correct pointing out, students have a higher chance to experience success. As success accumulates, direction becomes clear and resolve builds; the harbinger of Embodiment.
