Are You Ready for a Direct, Experiential Initiation into Your Full Spiritual Potential – Giving You the Practices and Teachings to Manifest the Mystic Christ in Your Daily Life?

If so, you’ve been guided to right place. In the last few years, a profound shift is happening in which an increasing number of people are realizing that it is not enough to put a single historical figure like Jesus on a pedestal, and worship him – something he actually counseled against.

No, the task ahead of us is much more potent, mysterious and illuminating. It’s to take the concept seriously that we have within us the same latent potentials as Jesus did – and that we, too, can express the divinity at our core in extraordinary ways.

It’s to walk in his footsteps into a future we can barely imagine.

Yes, you may be thinking of the many ways that you become unconscious each week or fail to live up to a saintly ideal. That is true of all of us. However, that does not deny the potential that you have within you, which is to become a vessel for the marriage of heaven and earth – a divinely embodied human.

To reach the next stage of our evolution will require a profound clearing of the old patterns and beliefs, with a deep initiation into the new possibility – such that we can really learn to live, breathe and experience ourselves as a Christ being.

We’ll need to break through our spiritual “glass ceiling” that prevents us from even conceiving of this possibility, and realize there is a blessedly ordinary dimension to what it takes to bring forth the mystic Christ within.

It doesn’t mean foregoing a life of laughter and love to be crucified by enemies. In fact, it means just the opposite. Manifesting the mystic Christ within is a path of expanded unity and heartfelt connection to all of life. It’s a journey that creates joy rather than suffering.

If you have been on a spiritual path for some time, you have likely been exposed to teachers and practices from many lineages. You may meditate or pray daily, engage in shadow work, play with mental habits – or even practice yoga. While all these things are beautiful and helpful, there’s simply nothing like being in the welcoming presence of a mystic who embodies that which we aspire to become ourselves – and who can lead us forward.

Bill Bauman is such a mystic – wise and curious, deep-seeing and free, humorous and playful. He has been steeped in transformational perspectives from his time as a priest, psychologist, and even entrepreneur. But what sets Bill apart is a vast, completely unconditional love and a history of powerful, life-changing initiations into Christ consciousness – which he can truly transmit to others.

Before we go putting HIM on the pedestal too much, what also makes Bill such a wonderful teacher is that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. He brings a tremendous lightness of being to his work of helping awaken, heal and liberate others. He’s having a blast in his life, and calls all of us into the fun, as well.

You see, we’ve inherited a vision of the Christ path that is often colored with excessive suffering and deprivation. Bill shows us how to strip away the troubled history and discover the luminous core – that we are little Godlings who have come to express our highest nature here on planet Earth and we have worlds of possibility within us.

If you’ve hungered for a direct path of connection to your truest nature – one that validates and ultimately goes beyond whatever religious training you might have – Bill Bauman is your man. He teaches us how to be a blessing with our very presence. He teaches us how to open our hearts wide. He shows us how to create truly sacred relationships.

That’s why so many of today’s top transformational leaders – including New York Times bestselling authors Jack Canfield and Marci Shimoff – look to Bill as a guide and ally.

During the seven months of the Manifesting the Mystic Christ Within training, you’ll progress through a series of modules with Bill – each carefully sculpted to build upon the last, and lead you to integrate more of your full Self – until you begin to access the Christ within you as a stable, day-to-day reality. The modules are oriented around a sequence of qualities that reflect deeper and deeper stages of opening to your deepest truth.

The Manifesting the Mystic Christ Within Immersion will take you into the rich depths and endless heights of your divine and mystical Christ nature. Even more, it will give you a profound immersion into the divine wonder that lives so intimately within you.

Does your soul sometimes ache for a "Self" that is bigger, less constricted, more divine? Are the secret chambers of your heart whispering to you – perhaps, even nagging you – to wake up to the luminous powers of your Christ nature?

This one-of-a-kind offering is fully dedicated to you. It is your personal "initiation" into the very Christ-hood that you might have seen and cherished, but never considered that you could become – until now.

Bill Bauman speaks the pure wisdom of the Christ to your mind, stirs the unconditional Christ love in your heart and opens the infinite wonder of the Christ in your soul. His aim in this unique immersion is to inspire you in your human depths, awaken you to the grace-filled presence of your inner Christ and “initiate” you into the sublime power of your calling.

Who is Bill Bauman?

In a very human and lovely way, Bill lives in the quiet serenity of the divine, plays in the expansive beauty of the Light and delights in the marvel of our human creation. He deeply embodies and expresses the Christ in ways that are heartfully passionate, purely loving and powerfully transforming. Indeed, he is a recognized model and example to those whose own Christ nature is now emerging and growing.

Historically, Bill has been a Catholic priest, a religious science minister, a licensed psychologist, a business entrepreneur and an advocate for world peace. For the past 30 years, he has served our world as an inspiring spiritual leader, gifted healer and expansive visionary. Bill’s human self has profoundly merged with his infinite Christ self – which, in turn, has moved him to be a Christ-centered empowerer to many of our world’s transformational leaders.

Particularly since December 2012, Bill has dedicated himself to supporting not only our recognized leaders, but also the informal, often unrecognizable ones – those, like you, who will craft a new human world in the image of your own Christ-ness, and bring our human family’s hidden possibilities to life. Are you among those emerging leaders? Most definitely – you are!

What is the Christ?

This term, “Christ,” means many things to many people. For many religious persons, it may refer to the historical figure of Jesus, Buddha – or one of the many gifted avatars who have lovingly graced our human domain.

For those not necessarily oriented to these historical traditions, "the Christ" may capture that unique divine quality, or light-filled nature, that resides in all of creation – that "Christ nature" that you have undoubtedly felt within yourself for many years.

For many of us in this modern age, “the Christ” characterizes that same infinitely-loving divine light that placed itself in those precious leaders of past ages, but now has chosen us as its human home – so that it could bless and enhance our world anew – both in and through us. It’s in this sense that you may be a part of the “collective avatar,” or “collective Christ,” that many believe is how our world will now be blessed, expanded and enriched.

This inspirational, transformational and initiatory experience will take place over a seven month period – three evenings each month – to allow for both the time and intensity of your personal deepening and expansion.

You need not have participated in earlier programs offered by either Bill Bauman or the Shift Network. The only prerequisite is that you feel soulfully drawn to this remarkable gift – the gift of the Christ essence at your core.

Those who have participated in Bill’s earlier classes or gatherings have often described three unexpected phenomena. First, they have found “their tribe.” The sense of community or family that emerges in Bill’s group experiences is both profound and empowering. Participants report feeling sacredly held, loved and supported – not only by Bill – but by everyone else in the group. Secondly, because of the loving depth of the experience, participants tell us that they have finally discovered who they are and how they fit on Earth. Finally – as viewed through the eyes of the inner Christ – their life makes sense. These experiences await you, too.

This unique offering may be the one-of-a-kind opportunity you’ve been waiting for – the grace-propelled, spiritually-empowered leap into your very own Christ Heart. Search your all-knowing soul, ask your innermost wisdom, and discover whether the hidden potential within is calling you to this luminous doorway – the opening to become your destined Self as a present-day expression of the Christ.

What You’ll Discover in This 7-Month Advanced Immersion:

Throughout the seven sacred months, you will experience a profound deepening and immersion into your very own nature as a Christ being. You will be genuinely initiated into the Christ essence that you came to Earth to grow into and become.

Partnering with Bill Bauman and the other “Christs-in-training” who join with us, you will expand your capacity to:

• Bathe in the delicious Love and endless Light of the Christ.
• Experience the healing and empowerment capacities of the Christ energy.
• Awaken to your position as a true “son” or “daughter” of the divine.
• Embrace your own divine nature, and swim in its grace-filled possibilities.
• Find yourself – your real and true self – as never before.

Your journey to awaken into your Christ-hood will happen in ways that are bathed in bounteous Grace, bestowed with a generosity of Divine intervention, gift-wrapped in pure Love – and sealed with the kiss of the Christ’s innate power to transform.

Yes, we’ll bypass many of our learned “human” styles of growth, and allow the very “miracle-oriented” Christ that we all are, to move us powerfully to this amazing state of “being the Christ.”

While Bill’s approach mostly defies any attempt to describe it in words, the module descriptions that follow best explain what he will share and what you can expect to gain in participating in this innovative experience:

Each core module will last one full month – with three classes per month. The main course sessions will air live on Primarily Tuesdays at 5pm Pacific Time/ 8pm Eastern time starting Sept 3, 2013. However, even if you cannot make the live calls, you can still get the full benefit of this training.

If you are truly ready to dive deep into the transformative field of awakening your true Self – and embrace the beautiful present-day Christ nature within you – this 7-Month Advanced Immersion with Bill Bauman is the perfect training for you.

What Graduates of His Courses Are Saying About Bill Bauman. . .

“After more than 40 years exploring in the spiritual movement, I find Bill’s teaching the most inviting I’ve ever encountered. He integrates all dimensions of our humanity and divinity in a most powerful way. I have never before had a teacher (and there have been beautiful ones) who lives pure love so simply and fully as Bill does.”
-Hannah Woods, Philadelphia

“Having this experience with Bill Bauman was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Bill is a total jewel and I fell in love with him over the course of the seven weeks! He, from his Christed Beingness, managed to make me feel loved, to feel special, to feel seen and acknowledged and appreciated and so worthy. I feel empowered to live as a Christ now, knowing that this is truly who I am and why I have come here to this planet at this important time. I love life and all that I AM, and I thank Bill Bauman from the very depths of my being for all that he is and all that he shared so completely with us. I am so grateful! With love and great thanks.”
-Joanne Bracken, Baltimore, MD, USA

“The Mystic Christ has been the most miraculous class and I have received so many blessings from it. I have such gratitude to The Shift for offering it, and to Bill Bauman for being the embodiment of divine love, light, and power that he is. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to make major breakthroughs in their life, and wanting to be transformed into their own most sacred self.”
-Julie, Virginia

“Bill Bauman is a quiet, profound avatar and huge gift to humanity. He is a master of the moment. I am deeply humbled and grateful for the gracious way that he has gently led me home to my higher self. His loving presence generates consciousness, transformation and compassion. He teaches beyond the level of the mind and provides a thrilling journey into the levels of soul, light, vibration and all the elements. The gift of learning with this masterful teacher is an opportunity not to be missed!”
– Angela Mandato, Santa Clara, Utah

“Capturing the essence and fullness of Bill Bauman would be like trying to catch Niagara Falls in a bucket. This mild-mannered man is a powerful force. His own “bucket” is big enough to hold a group, no matter how large. He can reach in and touch each of us individually and all of us, simultaneously. When he does, he unwraps the mysteries of each soul, reveals and reflects all the beauty and potential within, and gives that back to each of us as a gift. Then, he leaves us free to choose how we are going to be with that gift. And he does all this with wit and humor that I find so endearing that it alone would be worth the price of admission.”
– Sharon Heller, M.S., Austin, Texas

“I cannot say enough about Bill and his presence. Studying with Bill was the first time, I became aware of ‘transmission’ as a style of teaching. It didn’t really matter what Bill was saying or doing. What I got was taking place on a deeper level. I was being transformed, healed, inspired and deeply touched and moved – just from being in his presence. That being said, what Bill has to say is always inspired, enlightened and humorous.”
– Debbi Brown, Phoenix, Arizona

“Bill’s presence comes right through the computer/phone to touch your heart and soul. This happened to me several times during the sessions. Thanks to the course I notice the Mystic Christ shining in me more and more. When it does, I notice a glow in the people I am relating to. It feels amazing to bring such joy to others.”
-Terry Hiduke, Fort Myers, Florida

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity to be a part of this amazing course with Bill. He is a true leader and radiant being of pure love and light. My new awareness of the Christ within has filled my heart and my body with so much love and I feel like it has opened the doors to the next amazing chapter of my life. Thanks again.”
-Claire Bettesworth, Auckland, New Zealand.

“I was going through a very difficult time in my life during this course. Bill’s loving presence and powerful knowledge anchored me and gave me the strength and direction to face and move through my challenges. I felt his love and presence in my life in a very concrete way. Being able to ask questions during the classes reinforced my feeling of deep connection with him. I cannot recommend Bill highly enough for anyone seeking peace and oneness in her or his life.”
-Katherine, San Diego, CA

“I have been seeking the right spiritual mentor for this time in my life for the past couple of years. The course title intrigued me, never having heard of Bill. His insights, authentic loving nature and real spiritual agency showed me he is the answer to my prayer. I feel fortunate and blessed to have connected to him and the world-wide community of like-minded and hearted souls with whom I shared this experience.”
-Martha Hopewell, Melrose, MA

“I have taken several online classes. The remarkable thing about Bill Bauman is that he doesn’t just share information. He can catalyze profound energetic shifts in his listeners through a teleclass.”
-Laurie, Amherst MA

-Jack Canfield, Co-creator, Chicken Soup for the Soul series

“Bill Bauman’s seminars are the most transformative seminars that I have ever taken. From the moment you walk into the room and sit down, Bill’s energy starts entering your whole physiology. And by the time you leave, you are completely transformed into an individual who is thinking clearly, feeling extremely open, with a heart filled full of love – wanting to do nothing but be of service to the rest of humanity – because you have just been served so totally from Bill.”
-Janet Bray Attwood, Co-author, The Passion Test

“Bill Bauman is presence in action. He also brings humor to the deeply intuitive. He’s just a great guy, and I highly recommend that you work with him.”
Hale Dwoskin, CEO, The Sedona Method

“Bill Bauman is the Ultimate Human! I am filled with Joy and Love every time I heard his voice. His voice and his ‘being-ness’ came from within me. That’s how Bill is. He gently enters and transforms you. No matter what the topic, no matter what he says – it’s perfect. Because he IS LOVE. And Love heals. I have never ever felt True Love before in my life, and I will always treasure the time I had with Bill in this course. I would take it over again if offered without hesitation. Bill is one magnificent human being you want to spend as much time with as possible because he Truly Loves You, and he lets you know it! You cannot hide from Love when you are with Bill.”
-Juliann Calvey

“This course has helped me to not only accept myself as a Christ but also to begin to look for the Christ in all others. It has allowed me to Be my Self in a whole new way. Bill put forward the ideas and teachings in a lighthearted yet deep and profound manner. It was magic!”
-Maria, Trinidad and Tobago

-James, Cary, NC

About Bill Bauman, Ph.D.

To describe Bill Bauman is a relatively impossible task. People have called him a unique and inspiring human presence, a selfless and humble being. As you experience Bill, however, you find that he possesses a compelling giftedness – a beyond-words quality that has deeply touched and transformed the lives of countless people.

Bill’s loving heart is at the forefront of his every interaction. His expansive vision moves people to hear their own truth most compellingly. His transformational gifts are deeply healing and magically empowering. His charismatic touch awakens people to claim their fullest freedom. And his own personal ultimacy is an inspiration for – and mirror of – the “ultimate human” that we all can become.

Bill was a Catholic priest in the 1960s, a practicing psychologist from the ‘70s to the ‘90s, a business consultant and leader for two decades, a noted leader in the global peace movement in the ‘90s and a spiritual leader from the ‘80s to today. Currently, Bill has combined these many systems into a dynamic and life-changing approach that he now calls “the ultimate human,” “the ultimate healer” and “the ultimate leader.” In this approach, he is a noted trainer, heartful speaker, loving motivator and visionary of life’s possibilities.

With a doctorate in Counseling Psychology, a Master’s degree in Theology, and a Bachelor’s in Philosophy, Bill embraces life from a broad perspective and expansive vision. Thousands of people have attended Bill’s seminars on personal empowerment, dynamic leadership, love and relationships, personal and spiritual growth and empowered healing – which he has led nationally and internationally over the past 30 years. He has given hundreds of growth-oriented seminars, trainings and presentations to groups of every size.

A proven entrepreneur, Bill started and led four profitable private businesses, as well as his own successful private practice as a psychologist. Also, with his adored wife Donna, he founded and led two non-profit organizations – Washington, DC’s World Peace Institute (through the 1990’s) and The Center for Soulful Living (through the 2000’s).

He has recently authored three groundbreaking books: Oz Power: How to Click Your Heels and Take Total Charge of Your Life (2005); Soul Vision: A Modern Mystic Looks at Life Through the Eyes of the Soul (2009); and The Soul in Love: Heartful and Inspirational Poetry (2010). He is currently writing a book on (you guessed it!) the Ultimate Human.
