1969 Enlightenment Intensive Advert

Tell me who you are.

An aspect of my nature has always been reverential toward the elders of the path I walk and whose foot steps I follow. It's part of my loving bhakti nature. 

I thought some of you out there in the wider cyber Enlightenment Intensive community might enjoy and appreciate seeing some of this material I have from the archives of Charles Berner, the originator of the Enlightenment Intensive.

Forty-seven years ago this was the text from a 1969 Enlightenment Intensive notification that was published by the Institute of Ability.  The Institute which was the organization founded by Charles and Ava Berner to support their personal development teaching.

Abilitism A Space Age Religion
 
Would you like to have a fresh view of Life? One so different and new that, If it is true, would explain why health and happiness on earth has not been accomplished after 10,000 years of religion.
 
We also offer the means by which you can experience this for yourself.  This is done by a new meditation-communication technique which after a year of success has helped hundreds of people   reach states of Enlightenment about themselves and the nature of LIfe
 
These Intensives are held for either 3 or 5 days. They start at 6 AM  and until 1 2 PM.   During this time you experience contact with others that is wonderful. You also experience a meditation that takes you deeper and faster into cosmic consciousness than any method known.
 
No drugs, hypnosis or evaluation are used.   This is a do-it-yourself method. You are fed a special diet and the rules very strict.   But this is what we have found it takes.  You are in an environment that is completely for you. This enables enables you to spend 54 or 90 hours experiencing yourself.  Every thing is planned and supervised.
 
Treat your self to yourself at the Institute  of Ability.

​Our next Intensive will be held Dec  27, 28, 29, 29, 30 and 31st, 1969.

So not to create any confusion about dates.  
My next Enlightenment Intensive forty-seven years later and on the other side of the world is:2016 Annual New Year Enlightenment Intensive
31 Dec 2015 - 6 Jan 2016
Adelaide Hills, South Australia

​May all sentient beings know peace and contentment
