Appendix B – Courses


This appendix lists the courses offered by TSM.  Note that not all courses are offered at all times, and that courses may be added, deleted or modified at any time.


Explanation of Codes


Each course is uniquely identified by a three digit code.


The first digit distinguishes the Series.

  1. Core
  2. Near-core – theory
  3. Near-core – practice
  4. Manifestation – theory
  5. Manifestation – practice
  6. Manifestation – integrative


The second digit distinguishes the manifestation:  0 (ecstatic), 1 (service), etc.


The third digit uniquely identifies the course among multiple offerings in the Series or the Series and Manifestation.


Thus course number 421 refers to the second practical philosophical manifestation course.  It should be obvious that when the first digit is 0–2, the second digit will always be 0, and when the first digit is 3–5, the second digit will only be 0 when the manifestation is ecstatic.


Series 1 and 3 courses are primarily classroom-based while Series 2 and 4 courses are primarily workshop-based.  Series 0 and 5 courses are a mixture of classroom and workshop.
