This story is universal. By opening their minds and seeking beyond themselves, wanderers come to a wider wisdom, a larger view not only of the world but of themselves.

This is the essence of your journey. As someone who has lived five, six, seven decades or more, you have probably found that you were expected to adhere to a set of predetermined ideas. But all the while, you have wondered if there was a way you could escape the limitations of your thought habits and become a larger person with greater vision.

There is. It’s Brain Mastering, in which the skills and concepts you have learned throughout the first four stages of BEST come together as a single unified discipline.

A Spiritual Quest

BEST is a spiritual quest—a quest to become a person of greater enlightenment as you make the transition into the mature years of your life. You have plenty of goals: to heal from the traumas of the past, to find peace, to develop a healthier body, and even to discover a new purpose for your life. Brain Mastering is discovering the life you want to live and developing a mental discipline that allows you to turn your brain into a tool to create that life. It is a continual process of improving your brain to become a better human being.
