1/ Why an AGI-specific degree? Most AI programs train you on today's tools. This one is built around what comes next, the technical, ethical, and civilizational questions of AGI itself.
2/ Faculty: Ben Goertzel, Matt Iklé, and Gabriel Axel Montes. Live video classes.
3/ No GRE required. Applications reviewed on a rolling basis. Priority deadline July 31, final deadline August 31, for a Fall 2026 start.
4/ Institutionally accredited by WSCUC.

In response to our students’ desire to learn more about the essence of Dr. Motoyama’s teaching, and the need for the consciousness community to reflect on key values and principles in today’s turbulent world, we are sharing the articles of divine instruction that Dr. Motoyama said were sent by God. We are proud to be governed by these values in the CIHS community and lead the conversation on the future of consciousness science.

1. God creates the cosmos and the worlds of spirits, giving them life.

2. God, with love and wisdom, gives life to all things, enabling all to achieve a higher spirituality.

3. Know God’s love and emulate it.

4. One is born by virtue of one’s individual karma, one’s family karma, the karma of one’s country, and the karma of the earth.

5. Fulfill all one’s karmas and return to the selfless Divine Self.

6. All beings live by virtue of God’s love and are destroyed by the force of matter.

7. Believe in God, and all things will be fulfilled.

8. Care for people and nature with God’s love.

9. All things perish; do not be trapped in attachment.

10. At each moment, devote yourself selflessly to the task at hand without regard to the outcome; all will return to the Absolute God.

11. One who is trapped within one’s self (ego) harms people and things.

12. The human world stands on the harmony among people, nature, spirits, and the worlds of spirits.

13. One who loves people, nature and spirits is naturally empowered to establish and realize oneself.

14. One who harms people and nature perishes.

15. One who loves (i.e., is unified with) God enables all things to exist in the way in which they were meant.
