College of Universal Science
Welcome to the College of Universal Science, as Kenrick Finlayson from Christchurch, New Zealand, once designed it. Kenrick then said, that the College of Universal Science had been founded by Dr. Murdo MacDonald-Bayne in Manchester, England, during the early 1930’s. Kenrick pointed out that his website was designed specifically for the sincere students of the teachings of Murdo MacDonald-Bayne, as both a resource on material available and the teachings, and as a comprehensive course on four levels:
I. Beginners (Stage 1: Introduction to Teaching)
II. Intermediate (Stage 2: 1945-1948)
III. Advanced I (Stage 3: 1948-1950)
IV. Advanced II (Stage 4: 1950-1954)
Kenrick went on to say, "The definitive books, lectures and recordings are available for download The South Africa Lecture Series (1948-1954) are presented in the spirit that Dr. Mac gave them to his selected students in closed sessions in Johannesburg and Pretoria with the exception being that the recordings and lecture notes have been transcribed together where available and are also available for download. This website is now the definitive Murdo MacDonald-Bayne self-teaching resource site. There are no fees, classes to attend or exams. This is entirely a self-study site, you do the work this is what Murdo wanted for his students. How far you go in re-connecting contact with your True Self, is entirely up to you!" The College was divided into 4 Courses, which then as now build on each other, Kenrick wrote about those Courses at the time:
Guide
"All of the material sanctioned by Murdo since he came out of Tibet in 1937 is available at the College of Universal Science as it was to his students in South Africa. All of his books, lectures and known original sound recordings are made freely available to today’s students. This is a self teaching site. You have to do the work and it is not easy. No one can give you the Truth, Enlightenment, Cosmic Consciousness, that already lies within you, you have to make the effort to connect with it and bring that part of you which is REAL to the forefront." The Course is presented in 4 stages:
Course 1
Course 1
Introduction to Murdo MacDonald-Bayne's life and teachings. An understanding of Murdo's teachings can only be gained by first studying his background. His early life and his call to come to South
Africa and then to Tibet, where he completed his spiritual training and developed his healing gift that culminated in Cosmic Consciousness. By the time Murdo came out of Tibet in 1937, he had
discarded everything he considered part of his previous development, including his previous writings, which contained errors. (Some of the writings are still being
produced by unenlightened individuals). Beyond the Himalayas: First published in 1954, the book covers Murdo's early life and his mysterious call to Tibet. His journey
from India to Tibet. He meets his master Geshe Rimpoche. His brief resie to Bhutan, the Ok Valley and his onward journey, culminating in his meeting the Hermit of Ling-Shi-La. The Yoga of
the Christ: First published in 1955, the sequel to Beyond the Himalayas. The book covers the rest of Murdo's time in Tibet. His journey from the mysterious Ling-Shi-La to Lhasa and on to
Zamsar, back to the Ok Valley and back to Kalimpong. Your Life Renewed Every Day: First published in 1954 with 180 Benedictions. Now that all the previously unpublished material
has been released (e.g. Lectures and Newsletters), we have found more of Murdo's Benedictions and prayers, including some of the Great Masters. Also included
are those Benedictions that have been extracted, with their slight variations, from the original recordings. This results in 366 uninterrupted daily Benedictions in this expanded edition.
You can start with any Benedictions in this book and have daily Benedictions for the whole year.
Course 2
Course 2
A healthy mind and body plus Murdo's introduction to the biblical scriptures as given in the Lectures from 1945 - 1948. Murdo taught that a healthy mind and body were needed to seek understanding
and develop the true self. The way of life, diet, freedom from emotional distress and self-centered desires would be the key to the "inner path". Heal Yourself: To keep the body
perfectly healthy, one must pay attention to one's thoughts, actions and diet, have sufficient exercise, habitual corrective exercises and so on. Perfect health is not possible without a
knowledge of spiritual, mental and physical laws. Spiritual and Mental Healing: This course is divided into three parts: Spiritual, Mental and Physical Laws. I am the
Life: Truth is eternal, without birth and without death, always the same, but the teaching of truth is always changing into subtler and higher expressions as man evolves. The Bible
contains much knowledge of the great prophets that remains hidden to the many, esoteric knowledge revealed to the inner circle of disciples. What is Thine is Mine: Divine
Metaphysics is a system or technique that enables us to remove detrimental conditions from our mind, body and circumstances and replace them with perfect health, happiness and the abundance of
things we need. You may say that's a tall order. Yet it is true. It has been done by the Masters and they assure that it can be done by anyone who practices fluently. The greatest exponent of
divine metaphysics was Jesus, the Master. The Higher Power You Can Use: "This course has been written with the express purpose of guiding you along the path of the Masters; to
free you from all limitations and imitations in the world of forms, creeds, dogmas, notions, theories, concepts and so on, which limit and confuse the mind, thus distorting the truth. You cannot
realize or understand until the mind is free and unlimited, for it is the natural intelligence that paves the way to the understanding of life ... But through the Super Technique as explained in
this course, there comes a higher understanding ..."
