saw drawing as the foundation of visual thought. His mission
was not to teach people how to draw, but how to see. www.drawingpower.org.uk

Complimentary Trainings (Consciousness
is the main focus)
Thane Legacy: This site is created by students of
Thane Walker, a great Teacher and founder of The Prosperos, School
of Ontology. The site offers opportunities for long-standing
students to re-connect with each other. It also is a place for
new students to state concerns, ask questions, and explore how
the study of Ontology can be helpful to them on their pathway.
The Prosperos:
This school offers a variety of trainings based on Ontology (the
Science of Being). The school's purpose is to guide you to draw
forth from within yourself the knowledge of your true identity.
By studying the words you use and translating every problem back
to underlying wholeness you free yourself of old, mechanical
thining. Behind the roles we play, in essence, each one of us
is a spiritual being, an Individuation of One Infinite Mind.
To release our essential identity as Consciousness into our everyday
life is our highest purpose. I received my High Watch Mentorship
Degree from this school in 1978. P.O. Box 4969, Culver City,
CA 90231. Call Toll Free: 1-966-ONTOLOGY (1-866-699-6564). www.theprosperos.org.
