The mission of Divine Light Meditation Training is to connect people with the Divine Light and train them in meditations for accelerated spiritual evolution, self-mastery, fulfillment, and service to others.
About Me
I'm Brandon - meditation teacher and founder of Divine Light Meditation Training (DLMT).
I created DLMT so I could begin formally serving others as a meditation teacher. I feel an incredibly powerful calling to serve others as a teacher.
Since 2013 I've practiced in a spiritual tradition known as Mudrashram.
In 2023, after an extremely challenging 10 year journey of growth, I completed the Mudrashram inner development requirements & formal training for becoming a teacher. I was anointed and empowered to teach and initiate in the Mudrashram tradition.
All Mudrashram courses were developed by my teacher, George A. Boyd, the founder and head meditation teacher of Mudrashram. You can read more about him further down, in the "About My Teacher" section.
I love the Mudrashram approach to spirituality because I've found great love, wisdom, power, truth, goodness, and beauty in it.
Because of Mudrashram I've grown to have the utmost love & devotion for the Divine and Divine Light. ❤️🔥 They are unspeakably Heavenly, Holy, Blessed, and Beautiful to me.
Divine Light caused my Soul to grow tremendously. It transformed me.
It also inspired me on the deepest level, and prepared me to work as an instrument of the Light, committed to serving others. I am eternally grateful for this.
My Spiritual Journey
I had a very rough spiritual awakening in 2012 when my Kundalini awakened unexpectedly. Like a volcano this fiery energy surged up my spine, launching my awareness upwards into a peak experience of ecstatic union with my Soul, before returning my awareness back to the ground state.
It was unfathomably sacred, transcendent, and awe-inspiring, but also very difficult to understand and integrate.
This started my spiritual journey.
I wanted to get back to that higher state of consciousness that I touched upon. I also wanted to understand the troubling symptoms I was experiencing. The Kundalini energy was intensely surging up my spine and throughout my body at all hours of the day, awakening me, paralyzing me, and dredging up all kinds of unconscious material that had been blocking my spiritual growth.
Soon after I found Mudrashram and my teacher George Boyd. He was kind, patient, and wise. He helped me understand what was happening to me. He used inner vision/clairvoyance to assess exactly what was happening with my kundalini, and he gave me instructions for how to ground/normalize the energy.
I had several profound early experiences with him which helped me embrace the Mudrashram Path. Twice through his presence over video call I spontaneously inwardly glimpsed his true spiritual attainment—an attainment which empowered him to function as a true initiating teacher. It was stunning and eye-opening.
Another similar experienced happened a different time through his voice as he explained how Mudrashram's chosen transformational mantra worked. It awakened a deep and powerful remembrance in me regarding mantras that draw down Divine Light to purify and transform the Soul. It was like Deja Vu x100.
I knew there was something real here.
Not everyone has early validating experiences like these, even when interacting with a true initiating teacher, because there are many variables governing the veils over our perceptions. So I considered myself fortunate to have gotten a glimpse, because it helped me confidently move forward on the Mudrashram path.
In addition to that, the Mudrashram system was incredibly fascinating to me the more I studied it.
In 2013 I fully devoted myself to spiritual development in it.
Since that time I've been on a long and challenging journey of spiritual growth, healing, personal growth, and service.
In addition to Mudrashram, I've explored and studied a variety of different spiritual traditions and therapy systems. I enjoyed the differences in all these approaches, experiencing the unique value they each provide, and gaining self-improvement and discernment from this process.
My core passions are spirituality and psychology. I studied psychology while in college.
Over my journey with Mudrashram I've gone through multiple stages of spiritual development. I continued applying the Mudrashram tools, and receiving the Light in twice monthly Light Sittings.
George taught me so much throughout hundreds of sessions over one-on-one video calls and webinars, courses, hundreds of articles, many books, guided meditations, in-person meditations at his home in California, hundreds of Light Sittings, and probably ten thousand emails, which he thoughtfully responded to with deep wisdom and compassion. I am very grateful for all of this.
Through Mudrashram I've had deep spiritual experiences and I've grown in many ways.
I've grown personally and spiritually to the point that I can teach and initiate in the Mudrashram tradition.
Most importantly I've grown to deeply love the Divine, and I've dedicated my life to serving the Divine.
Service
I feel called to share this Light and these tools with whoever feels called to receive it.
Mudrashram encourages "Loving selfless service," and I whole-heartedly resonate with that.
Our spiritual tradition maintains a humble/truthful perspective on teachers.
Mudrashram teachers are human and have limitations. We are a work in progress. I think everyone on Earth is both a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time.
However, I've seen how the Divine uses everyone to spread the Light, despite any remaining limitations on our human side.
George says that as long as we're alive we will have things we're working on as part of our life karma—issues that cannot be solved through spiritual techniques and must be lived through and worked through gradually. We will always be a work in progress.
This is true regardless of how much spiritual development & personal development we’ve done. The refinement always continues.
He's compared this to sun spots, and encourages everyone to share their Light despite their remaining sun spots. I like this idea.
I'm committed to continue growing ever-more united with the Divine.
I feel honored to be doing this work.
I give all credit for this work to the Divine.
I'm committed to being a great teacher to all students & seekers who want to learn about this powerful form of spiritual work. 🙏

Why I Love Mudrashram
I would like to explain a little more about Mudrashram, and why I love it.
I have seen so many troubling patterns out there in the spiritual world, so I would also like to explain how my teacher George wisely designed Mudrashram to avoid those patterns.
I love that Mudrashram is centered on the Divine Light.
In Mudrashram the teachers are servants of the Light.
We teach, guide, and initiate, but we also direct students to ultimately look to the Divine Light as the true Teacher, Guide, and Initiator. This Divine Force powerfully shapes us all, works through us all, and leads us to fulfill our spiritual destinies.
Mudrashram is a different model that removes the harmful elements of certain traditional teacher-student spiritual models (e.g. the traditional guru model which has often been abused, wreaking havoc on the spiritual community).
I see the Mudrashram teacher-student model as closer to a peer-to-peer relationship, where everyone develops themselves to be instruments of the Light and then transmits that Light and guidance to others, as a spiritual friend and teacher.
Everyone does their part by contributing their service and their gifts. Everyone treats each other lovingly and respectfully. Everyone is in Truth, equal.
I love that Mudrashram operates like a meta-path, helping you to navigate your authentic path to the Divine, rather than promoting any kind of exclusivism/"only-one-way-ism."
Mudrashram provides a very useful map of the entire continuum of consciousness (all possible states of human consciousness from the ground state to the highest plane).
This map was compiled from many thousands of hours of deep meditation on the inner planes, directly observing how Souls move forward on an evolutionary track through multiple vibratory planes, each filled with unique content (e.g. different archetypes, lessons, forms of the Divine, and potential love, wisdom, virtues, and powers/abilities to be developed).
Our Souls inwardly go through many, many planes/paths (e.g. Pagan religions, Buddhism, New Age, Science, Art, Philosophy, Healing, Christianity, Hinduism etc.) over many lifetimes, which are like classes the Soul takes in school. Each path develops a different facet of our Soul. There is no single "right" teaching or path.
Mudrashram describes how the Divine Light is transmitted through all living spiritual traditions.
Each tradition simply transmits the Light in a different way, in order to develop followers along certain lines.
I love this highly inclusive perspective on the inner worlds and spiritual evolution.
In addition, in Mudrashram you are sent the Light in a way that accelerates your Soul's evolution through every stage of its Path, without getting over-identified with any one path/class.
You don't need to adopt any creed or new identification to receive this Light in Mudrashram, you simply receive the Light.
In addition to this, you are given a core set of spiritual tools to accelerate the spiritual development of your Soul and spiritual heart/spirit. You can maintain your current spiritual beliefs & practices, and use the Mudrashram tools as a great supplementary practice.
A major aim with Mudrashram is completing each of your Soul's inner "classes" at a faster rate, for those who wish to speed up their spiritual growth process rather than take many more lives to finish their work.
I love that Mudrashram encourages students to meditate like mystic-scientists.
We're encouraged to not accept the teachings on faith, but to learn to verify these statements for ourselves.
The map is not the territory, and merely reading about our Soul, about transmuting karma with the Light, and about the Divine, isn't enough. We have to experience it for ourselves.
We work to gather our own direct evidence over time through practicing spiritual techniques, mystic meditations, and constant discernment, to build our own understanding of the truth.
In Mudrashram the students always ground their attention back in their human self after a meditation is concluded, which keeps a healthy grounded perspective.
This approach teaches students to honor both our spiritual side and our human side, and to work on developing both.
It teaches that it is good to have some meditation time in an altered state of consciousness with our attention communing with our higher spiritual nature, and then to end the meditation by returning attention back to the ground state and infusing that energy fully into our human self.
This honors the ebb & flow of our moment-to-moment needs and brings greater integration and balance between our two sides.
However, many groups instead teach followers to remain fixed in an altered state of consciousness, to consider that altered state of consciousness as their only true identity, and to disown their human side completely.
This "spiritual bypassing" can produce pleasant effects in the short term, but can cause great misery in the long term.
It can lead to an imbalance where the person gradually becomes permanently ungrounded/detached from their human side.
It can lead to a shutdown of reality testing/reason, grandiosity, delusion, deterioration in personality functioning, and many other problems.
It can lead to a split consciousness where the person believes themselves to be entirely a spiritual, archetypal being (e.g. one of the inner archetypes of Mastery or one of the forms of the Divine), while their human side & shadow side get repressed and eventually spill out in harmful ways.
This kind of dissociative/self-avoiding pattern has been seen in many gurus and spiritual teachers who developed their Soul into a form of Mastery and attempted to keep their attention on the higher planes in union with that archetypal form 24/7, disowning their human side, their unfinished development, and the problems lurking in their unconscious mind & shadow.
A rough analogy might be, a person with a fully opened crown chakra but a blocked, dysfunctional heart chakra or sacral chakra.
This imbalanced development causes problems.
In contrast, in Mudrashram the students are guided to work holistically on their spiritual side & human side.
We work to improve our spiritual side (e.g. Soul, spiritual heart/spirit, inner vehicles, attentional principle) and also our human side—our character, our knowledge & skills, our values, our heart, our relationships, our unconscious mind, our shadow etc.—so that we become a better, nobler being, all-around.
Even as we grow to the highest stages of spiritual evolution we continue living grounded human lives.
We constantly strive to be a better instrument for our Soul/the Divine Will.
We learn to integrate our spirituality into our human side in many practical ways, rather than attempting to stay fixed in an altered state of consciousness.
We continue working on the issues embedded in our life karma within our human Self, even after all of the karma behind our Soul, spiritual heart, and higher vehicles have been purified.
In short, we work on building the whole Temple.
This takes longer than the spiritual bypassing approach, and it is more challenging, but it produces better long-term results.
Earlier in George's spiritual journey he studied with teachers who would unknowingly imbalance their students by keeping them in a blissful, altered state of consciousness continually. This harmed George's functioning and life, which took time to heal.
After finishing his work with those teachers George gained a deep appreciation for a different, more grounded approach to spiritual work.
He subsequently made balanced spiritual development the bedrock of the Mudrashram approach.
And finally, what I love about Mudrashram is that the techniques and the Light Sittings have real power and value.
The spiritual journey balances Grace & effort.
I'm grateful that Mudrashram equips us with tools to take an active role in our spiritual evolution through our personal effort in daily spiritual practice.
I'm also grateful that it brings down so much loving energy of Divine Grace to support our efforts and accelerate our progress.
I've seen up close how powerful and multifaceted the Divine Light is, bringing in various Light rays with different effects for each (e.g. the Love Ray, the Wisdom Ray, the Awakening Ray).
I even grew to appreciate and embrace the challenge of when the Light comes down strongly as a refining fire (the Purification Ray), flushing out negative patterns to be processed and released (e.g. old emotional material, the negative passions).
Like dross rising to the surface of gold in a fiery crucible and being removed layer after layer, bringing continual refinement at higher and higher levels.
All the rays of Divine Light have a role to play, and all of the Yogas have a role to play. Working in an integral system like Mudrashram brings a lot of appreciation for that.
