What is the Ageless or Ancient Wisdom?  - Return to Top -

The Ageless Wisdom is the collective name given for all the wisdom, philosophy, and spiritual insights and directions given to humanity throughout time, both in the Eastern and Western traditions. It is a body of knowledge that has been written and taught by wise men and women in all cultures and civilizations. Often, this body of knowledge is referred to as the Ancient Wisdom Teachings. But this is somewhat misleading in that it supposes that the only wisdom that is available is ancient in nature. On the contrary, the Wisdom of life evolves and grows continuously and organically as a result of the wisdom of any given person anywhere or at any time on earth.

General Information: TSG Focus  - Return to Top -

The TSG Foundation’s focus is on a comprehensive spiritual educational program of life enhancement teachings written and designed by an internationally recognized scholar, philosopher, and author Torkom Saraydarian. 

TSG continues to be run by Gita Saraydarian, who has established a worldwide audience as a creative educator for progressive ideas, transformation, and goodwill. The Foundation’s headquarters is in Cave Creek, Arizona. Its books, study courses, and seminars are distributed and conducted throughout the world.

The prime objective of the TSG Foundation’s work is to help people to unfold their potentials; deepen their non-sectarian spiritual learning through practical, transformational processes; increase their capacity to serve others; and make their lives more beautiful. TSG provides progressive ideas — defined as those ideas which are designed for the betterment of human relationships and for humanity as a whole, through which a person is empowered to make better life choices in every aspect of life.
 

We believe that new education is not found in new methods; it is found in the subject matter that is being taught. TSG’s subject matter involves principles and standards that can be applied by people of all backgrounds and cultures. It is a system of education that is designed to train the mind to think in terms of the whole. TSG labels this education ‘living ethics’. This includes:

  • The science of Meditation

  • Understanding Karma and Reincarnation

  • Learning about the Divine source of all human beings

  • Higher Worlds of life and Divine guidance

  • The principles of Beauty, Goodness, Righteousness, Joy, and Freedom

  • Continuous improvement and growth through application of spiritual Teachings

  • Service for human welfare in all fields as a way of life

  • The development of true inner confidence

  • The healing of our physical, emotional, mental, and higher spiritual bodies

  • Understanding the flow of psychic energy

  • The science of the soul and the work of the Guardian Angel

  • The science of right human relations in marriage, friendships, and child rearing

  • Developing the power of the human soul

About our Publications - Return to Top -

TSG has published many books and booklets over the years and continues to release more of Torkom’s creative works.

Publications are broadly divided into five subject areas: 

  1. Ethics and social responsibility: Building “right human relations” starts with having a sense of responsibility and a deep sense of the inherent human virtues that can be considered “goodwill.” An increasing sense of responsibility connects to one’s family, nation, planet, and the environment and enables the person to make the decisions about life that support the continuity and safekeeping of our planetary existence.

  2. Critical thinking: Learning to discern true independent thinking, free from mechanical thinking is the foundation of a healthy mind. To be free of outdated beliefs, emotions, others’ thinking and mass thinking develop better living conditions for the individual and society. Learning how thought affects our lives includes understanding the mechanisms of the mind, thoughts and chemistry, clear thinking and scientific meditation, memory and the development of intuition.

  3. Creativity and culture: Creativity can be defined as bringing illumination in any endeavor one chooses, in any of the seven fields of human endeavor: politically, artistically, scientifically, economically, educationally, and in the fields of communication and religion. The creative process strives to build a better future, a future that flowers hopes and expectations while conditioning the unfoldment of highest potentials. Culture is the result of experience; it is defined as an expression that reflects a certain level of creativity and beauty. Culture can be measured by the degree it uplifts and generates new visions for the future.

  4. Leadership and vision: Leadership qualities can be evoked in every human being in all fields of life. Leadership principles such as discipline, perseverance, health, inclusiveness, and continuous improvement relate to the core values of human experience. Leadership tools to increase a healthy self-image, success, the expansion of the heart and will power enhance our capacity to live our visions.

  5. Crises and challenges of life: We deal with crises and challenges of our personal and national and global life according to our inner strength and the power of our psychic development. Learning how to enhance our inner strengths will enable us to face any and all challenges of life. Learning about the role of karma and reincarnation will help us develop deeper understanding and tolerance toward others. Learning about safe and sane methods of spiritual development will make us thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.

TSG is now housing this collection.  We have sorted through all of them and to date have sent books to over 15 groups and libraries all over the world. Torkom’s spiritual energies are now present in many locations as a result of his love and collection of esoteric books.  We have kept the core of the Esoteric Collection at TSG Center and plan to place the entire collection in a database for research and study. A complete story of the library is now being written and will soon be available.

Your financial contributions are very important for us. We rely completely on contributions to continue our publishing and archiving works. At the time of Torkom’s passing in 1997, he had completed the work on 100 additional manuscripts, hundreds of boxes of original writings, books, music, and recordings that needed to be released for public use as well as archived for safekeeping.

Our plans were to publish all the remaining books and archive all his creative works in safe formats in the ten years following Torkom’s passing in 1997.Knowing that time and the elements were eroding the recordings and compositions, and knowing that the time to release all the written materials was sooner rather than later, we made plans that would enable us to complete this task in ten years!

However, facing the serious shortage of funds, this plan did not entirely materialize and we have continued our projects incrementally over the years and have accomplished much. We have made significant inroads using every contributed dollar in the most efficient way possible, relying entirely on financial contributions from friends and supporters.

We believe that Torkom’s creative works contribute to the enrichment of humanity’s culture all over the world. These works are certainly worthy of safekeeping for future generations. Future generations will be helped by having access to the lectures, writings, music, and original documents by Torkom to draw upon.

You can help us. Please take the time to make a one-time donation or donate on a monthly or annual basis. Include us in your Estate Planning. Your donations are tax deductible and are deeply appreciated.

TSG is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization.
