ATCE 2 Testimonials

It is difficult to express adequately the amount of learning and change and, dare I say, evolution that I have been experiencing through ATCE II. Not because these experiences are so mysterious beyond verbal description, but because some of these changes are outpacing my intellectual understanding of what is happening in my life.

My chi/prana/internal energy has increased so that I feel its circulation in my body. The books on internal subtle energy begin to make sense to me. My ability to meditate daily has increased profoundly. Given that I knew the importance of meditation, yet I have never been able to practice it daily, I do not know what happened, but somehow I am meditating daily and enjoying it profoundly.

But most importantly, I am beginning to feel that I am the owner of my life now. It is as if somebody gave me an operating manual for being a human, so I am finally beginning to understand how to live my life. The operating manual is not complete though; the remaining chapters remain to be written by me, and I am totally excited and nervous about writing them out as joyously and authentically as I can.

In ATCE II, we learn some amazing esoteric spiritual principles. But the most esoteric principle, LOVE, is directly experienced and expressed in the most authentic and human way. I am learning how to be human in the most tender and exhilarating way, and I am utterly grateful for this wonderful journey.

Since I began my journey with Yasuhiko many years ago starting with his “Passion Workshop” in 2000 and now in ATCE 2, I can clearly see that the development of the “Thinking” process is the common thread that has seamlessly interlaced all of his programs and workshops. Step by step Yasuhiko has invited us to explore our humanness, and once understood, to transcend that humanness into our greatness.

Yes! Greatness and authenticity is what I have come away with. The realization that my potential is as limitless as my passion has been translated into a remarkable relationship with my family and a healing-arts practice that has continued to grow and evolve in a remarkable manner.

Most importantly, it has been my personal growth and evolution that can truly attest to the merits of this work. I have attained a clarity and purposefulness in my life of which I was previously unaware and more importantly I have acquired the tools and the means to consciously create the life that I desire to live.

As with all great accomplishments in life, this undertaking has also been preceded by a conscious effort and developmental process. Yasuhiko’s reading material in the advanced courses is not for those who are frail or unwilling to be challenged. On the contrary, this well-planned and thought-out curriculum invites us to the challenge of transcending from mediocrity into greatness, from effect into cause, from “me” into “us,” and from “I” into “I AM!”

This has been one of the best investments I have ever made, the returns of which have been priceless.

The ATCE courses are the integrated educational experience that I have always longed for. Yasuhiko Genku Kimura is incredibly skillful in communicating his deep understanding of the world's spiritual, scientific, metaphysical, philosophical, artistic, religious, and creative modes of thinking. He does this not by imparting information but by creating a space, a context, in which we are enabled to literally think along with humanity's great geniuses. The ATCE reading list alone is worth the price of the tuition.

What is truly remarkable about ATCE is the impact that it has had on my life. The many aspects of the ATCE experience—the stimulation of deep thinking, the reading, the coaching, the practice of meditation, the conference calls, the retreats, the online consultations, and my own personal commitment to evolve—all of these work together in such a quiet but powerful way. Without really "doing" anything different my business stared to boom, my marriage went from being barely tolerable to being enjoyable, I started to actually want to spend time with my kids, and the overall anxiety that was always present in the background of my experience has for the most part been replaced by a calm excitement and wonderment about life.

My participation in ATCE has changed and continues to change who I am. ATCE has had a powerful impact on my being, which in turn has profoundly affected my life. I am incredibly gratefully for the life and work of my dear friend Yasuhiko and I highly recommend the ATCE courses to anyone interested in making themselves and the world more whole.

ATCE II has ignited a radical shift in my life. Before the course, I was very much attached to the illusory world of DOING and lived my life from this unsatisfying structure. Thanks to the work and meditation practice I learned in ATCE II, I now experience much more joy and fulfillment in just BEING. I am learning, as the Buddha said, to "Be in the world, but not of the world."

By studying and understanding Universal Laws, I see the world and my place in it in an entirely new way. My personal relationship with the Universal One is now the spring from which I live my life. The work of ATCE II has led me to this still and joyful place and I am eternally grateful.

Yasuhiko Genku Kimura is a fun yet profound teacher. He encourages his students to explore all systems and modalities of thinking and use the work to help discover their true essence—the Authentic Self from which to live life. I highly recommend ATCE II and I am excited to continue onto ATCE III!

I have been very happy to participate in ATCE II. It has been a great experience to get to know and be with everyone in the group and to be inspired by Yasuhiko’s profound guidance. It is a joy to be part of Yasuhiko’s progressively deepening teaching every year.

Deciding to participate in ATCE I was the beginning of a great new chapter in my Life. ATCE I laid the foundation for ATCE II which has shown me the thinking skills and awareness to create good results to improve me toward being an 'authentic thinker for conscious evolution'. I think in clearer detail, I comprehend the value of getting focused and as a result I am less stressed, a wiser business woman and much happier person.

My participation in ATCE II has resulted in a leap forward in my journey to authenticity. I have finally acknowledged myself – my true self – as opposed to my being a character in one of my many stories. I appreciate the guidance of Yasuhiko on this path; but in addition, the observations, encouragement and support of my classmates. His guidance and support, and theirs, has helped me identify the competing personalities that have diverted, and to a lesser degree, still divert, me away from my authentic self. In addition, during ATCE II, I have made progress in self-remembering and in self-observation. The readings, on-line consultations and conference calls, along with the multi-day symposia, have all contributed to this growth. I believe the study of Buddhism and its Eightfold Path and my Enneagram-Bible assignment will add depth to my spiritual quest and help give me gain an even greater appreciation of my own religion and spirituality.
