Welcome!
My name is Peter Torok and I would like to welcome you to my Mind-mastery course. This combination of lectures and training was designed to let us learn how the mind really works so that we can access a higher aspect of ourselves and leave behind any undesirable ego identifications.

Why learn about the mind?
Self-awareness training is powerful a psychological tool. There are things we all share, like our desire for love and purpose. The fundamental processes of our mind are also the same. Why do we have certain feelings and problems? Most of the philosophies say, that we are looking for the causes externally rather than looking inside. This is what modern psychology argues as well, and neuroscience, CBT, Schema therapy and mindfulness are the most effective ways thorough which we can connect to, and understand our inner self.
I have been researching the nature of the mind for over a decade, and as part of that I did a social experiment: I committed to two-years of 100% honesty in all of my interactions, no matter what the outcome may be. Imagine talking to your boss and really telling them your critical views about their work ethic, or talking to a difficult relative and pointing out everything that they are not willing to face. -It was challenging… Why is it impossible to be 100% honest about what we say, really?
Constant evolution of Self-awareness
It is because there is a sense of self that is part of us, which reacts automatically in situations. We can call it the ego or part of the subconscious mind. In what other situation does this part react automatically? Whenever our `pain body` has control over us: when we`re suffering.
Our automatic reactions are part of our evolved survival mechanism, however, we have evolved into social, intellectual beings, and the brain`s focus on pure survival mode is no longer beneficial for us. What`s really important is that in our everyday disagreements and power struggles with others, or when we are anxious, our subconscious sense of self that I mentioned feels as threatened as if we were still in the jungle, where a conflict with a tribe member would determine our survival. Life in society is no longer about protecting our lives from others…however the subconscious part of the brain doesn`t know this!
These automatic reactions are the cause of most conflicts between us and others. And the same automatic reactions are the cause of our internal problems, like depression, anxiety and so on…
Techniques
If we truly wish to understand our self, the root of our problems and to recognise that we have power to change anything in our life -we need to take a helicopter ride, which lifts us up from our everyday perspective and lets us take a look at ourselves from above, from the outside… to take a peak into our mind. The aim of this course is, to gain one more layer of awareness, which enables us to recognise our automatic reactions and patterns, to enable us to choose the way we feel. To give us the ability to look at a problem or challenge and immediately focus on the solution, rather than allowing to be overpowered and pulled into negative emotion.
Believe me, even the wisest person on Earth doesn’t have complete control over their mind. This material takes you through my personal journey through stories, psychology, neuroscience, mindfulness and meditation.This training is intended to serve as a manual for the mind, and it`s for anyone who wants to take control of their life.
Mindfulness during the day may lead to a new type of awareness in our dreams too, called lucid dreaming. If you are interested, check out my 10 Day Lucid Dreaming course.
Why learn from me?
Personal - I share the story about how I use mindfulness practice & meditation for self-development, joy and healing anxieties. I demonstrate the power of introspective work through my own examples.
Expertise - I began to study the mind in 2010 because I wanted to know the psychology and the neuroscience behind my meditative states and my out of body experiences.
Experience - Over the years, I have developed my own meditation technique, which I have taught one to one and on retreats. I visited Hindu and Buddhist masters in India and Nepal. I am also a qualified teacher.
Mindfulness - I think that by today I found my passion. I like to learn about the mind and consciousness. Meditation, mindfulness, introspection and lucid dreaming have become the core part of my life.
Community - You gain access to my Facebook community, in which you may discuss your progression with other practitioners
