Studies and Stages of Growth

BASIC SCHOOL - 8 years in Bulgaria

The name of this school is "Vasil Levsky". It is in the city of Lovetch where I was born. These 8 years were my formative education. I was fortunate to have good teachers and my parents were also teachers. WE studied all the basic sciences, 3 languages, drawing, singing, physical education, hand crafts with wood and metal, and variety of extra workshops. I graduated with top, excellent, grades.

HIGH SCHOOL - 3 years in Bulgaria

The High School I attended was in my city also and it was called "Mathematical High School <Yurii Gagarin>". We studied all the subjects like the previous 8 years plus extra and higher level mathematics. I was in the class which also had courses in Programming with the language "Fortran". As my grades were excellent, I did not have to take the final High School maturity exams. I finished the High School in May of 1974 at the age of 17.

UNIVERSITY - 2 years in California

From September 1984, I was a full time student for four semesters in California State University-Fullerton in Fullerton, CA. I was taking all the required general education courses plus some English and Linguistics classes. In the spring of 1986 I had to interrupt my University studies indefinitely for a combination of reasons. Anyway, it was a beneficial period for my learning. Even as a freshman, in 1985, I received the First Prize overall in the annual literature contest of the university, organized by the English department.

PRESENT LIFE SCHOOL - 43 years - all over this world

What I mean by this is the LEARNING EXPERIENCE in this LIFETIME. After being born in Bulgaria and living there and in the USSR for 23 years, I emigrated (escaped) and have been all over the World in the last 20 years. In October of 1980 I arrived in the U.S.A. and from March of 1981 have been a resident of California, where I was granted a citizenship as a conscientious objector in September of 1987 in Los Angeles.

CONSCIOUSNESS EVOLUTION - INFINITE

WHO We Really ARE IS ONE - INFINITE SPIRIT, CONSCIOUSNESS -and THIS ONE IS SUPREME, SUBLIME, and ETERNAL BLISS. In Sanskrit THIS ONE IS "SAT-CHIT-ANANDA". As Christ said it, "I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE." This UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGE, and REALIZATION take time, but "time" and "space" are relative to SPIRIT.
