Especially in difficult and strange times you may ask yourself, What is the purpose — my purpose — in this mad, crazy world we’re living in?
You’re here for a reason. There is divine intention for the life you’ve been given.
You are on a colossal cosmic journey and will find profound peace, meaning, and purpose when you gain insight into why you have a soul and where the soul transitions to after the body dies.
Dr. William Bloom, the UK’s leading mind-body-spirit teacher, believes that when we fully comprehend and experience the reality of our soul and its inevitable destiny, we can more naturally enter into a calm, strong sense of self. Understanding this spiritual reality makes us far more able to handle life effectively, creatively, and successfully.
Our soul is an expression of the Divine. While it is eternal, it also influences our here and now — the quality of our lives and how we relate to each other. Truly knowing that we are a soul — as well as human — is transformational.
In this 7-module course, William will take you to the very heart of the deepest esoteric and mystical teachings about the soul and the true purpose of life here on Earth.
While these ancient teachings are normally veiled in myths, symbols, and metaphor, you’ll discover that they all speak to the same extraordinary journey.
You’ll explore these profound secrets so you can better understand your own place in the cosmos and the meaning and purpose of your life. Knowing your true source and your ultimate destiny will give you a sense of great stability, hope, and resilience so that you can better manage the realities and challenges of daily life and accelerate your spiritual development, while also preparing you for what comes after this life.
William will speak to the nature of the soul — how it begins its long journey through many lives and how it fulfils its purpose. He’ll elaborate on the soft explosions of light, a term he uses to describe what happens in the human energy field at birth, at the end of life, and at moments of significant spiritual growth.
William's mystical experiences as a young child spurred him to devote his life to researching and understanding metaphysical realities. He’ll guide and inform you by drawing on the deepest teachings from ancient wisdom, Indigenous creation myths, and esoteric traditions.
The course will follow the soul’s journey at the end of life across the Bardo and astral fields, to its return home to the Ocean of Source. There, your soul prepares for its next stage of learning and contemplates its life to come...
It chooses its ethnicity, family, and cultural context — attracting the experiences and lessons it needs for its development. The cycle of the soul into human form and back to Source is the eternal, beautiful, and complex cosmic dance of our being.
In this 7-part insightful intensive, William will show you how to find purpose and meaning by delving into your soul’s mission so you can live in a more enlightened way now that will lead to a future of pure consciousness.
This course will feature step-by-step teachings and experiential practices with William. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to understand your soul’s mission.
Live in the nowhere that you came from,
even though you have an address here.
— Rumi
When our physical body dies, it’s known as “the permanent, irreversible cessation of all biological functions,” but we should take solace in knowing that death is really just a change of address.
In this first class, you’ll discover where the soul goes after it leaves its physical body.
After its human experience, every soul passes through the Temples of Learning. The soul is greeted and supported by helpers, angels, and guides who help the soul journey through the energy fields known as the Bardo in Buddhism and Purgatory in Catholicism.
The soul is attracted by the infinitely powerful magnetism of the clear light that irresistibly draws every soul back home to Source.
The inner helpers may guide the soul along special pathways illuminated with totems and symbols. The most well known are those of the Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead.
In this module, you’ll discover:
Every saint who has penetrated to the core of Reality has testified that a divine universal plan exists and that it is beautiful and full of joy.
— Paramahansa Yogananda
In this session, you’ll learn about the great ocean of souls and the Source to which they return. This Source is not a distant point but more like a loving Divine Mother within Whom we all exist.
You’ll learn the very nature and meaning of souls, why they exist, and how they are a part of the Divine Plan.
You’ll discover that there are two great cosmic breaths that create the human experience. The first breath created the material universe — from billions of stars to the tiniest grain of sand. This first breath has qualities of harmony, beauty, proportion, and intelligence.
The second breath holds a softer, higher vibration — one of love, compassion, and wisdom. The human soul emerges from this second breath as a vibration or flame.
You’ll come to see that the soul’s purpose is to integrate the two breaths. This is the core of the human experience, and explains the paradox of the human condition. We are both cosmic love and animal instinct. In the metaphor of alchemy, the meeting of soul with human creation is the mystic marriage.
Through inspiring guided exercises, you’ll experience your own deep connection with Source which will connect you with the powerful ability to self-heal, and help others around you through channeling and radiating blessings.
In this module, you’ll discover:
My Lord, why do I storm heaven for answers that are already in my heart?...
O Lead me to the beyond within.
— Sister Macrina Wiederkehr
You will be led through a process to discern which of the seven soul groups you are a part of. You’ll do a deep dive to access key learnings on each soul group to help clarify how you can better approach your spiritual journey and development.
These seven groups make up seven “ashrams” at the heart of Source. Each ashram has its own teachers and traditions, and is in continuous supportive spiritual rapport.
In this module, you’ll discover whether you approach your spiritual growth by:
Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.
— Rabindranath Tagore
In this session, you’ll learn how a soul prepares for and chooses its next life. This is a process that works with the harmonics of past experience and karma.
Previous life experiences have created a memory bank with unique vibrations and tones. These tones are then pulled into situations that carry a similar or relevant resonance. These vibrations include gender, sexuality, ethnicity, culture, class, and family dynamics.
Before your next life, the harmonic constellation of your soul was drawn to a constellation of relevant vibrations. For example, a soul’s history of melancholy may attract it to a family with a similar psychological color — or a soul with a background in the arts may be attracted to a creative family.
From our limited human perspective, this choice is not necessarily the logical, straightforward process we might assume. Every soul carries a kaleidoscope of vibrations of different intensities. It’s like a musical tune searching for the right instruments through which it can be played.
In the module, you’ll discover:
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.
— Carl Jung
In this session, you’ll explore the soft explosion of light that happens at birth — and how the soul relates to its human incarnation.
You’ll get a glimpse into what it’s like for a soul to take on its very first body. it's a poignant process when the innocence of the “young” soul meets the flesh-and-blood instincts — the elemental forces — of the human animal.
At first, the relationship is alien and distant. The soul is unfamiliar with the human body and personality, and the human creature may not be aware that it has a soul.
In every incarnation, the soul is in a perpetual dance and marriage seeking to integrate fully with its human self. Its vibration and harmonics attract the experiences and lessons that it needs for its development, while its human form may be bewildered by the process.
We will learn how over many lives this relationship between the soul and its human persona becomes closer and more intimate — until it reaches the wonderful stage in which a person begins increasingly to feel, sense, and know that they are soul.
In this module, you’ll discover:
Aim at Heaven and you will get earth "thrown in": aim at earth and you will get neither.
— C. S. Lewis
In this session, you will learn about the ultimate destiny and fulfilment of your soul.
There is a universal promise in all spiritual traditions that we can become fully enlightened and superhuman — one hundred percent love, compassion, and pure consciousness in every cell of our body.
This is the consummation of the mystic marriage — and the child of this marriage is the new you. The relationship between the soul and the physical person is now completely harmonious and unified. Your awareness, your wisdom, and your compassion is cosmic. You have attained pure Christ Consciousness, Buddha Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness.
In Hinduism, Buddhism, and all the other traditions that understand reincarnation and the soul’s journey, the soul is now free and liberated from the cycles of life. Samsara is complete and Moksha and Nirvana are achieved. The Great Work of alchemy and white magic is accomplished.
Cosmic love and consciousness is no longer an idea or a sought-after vibration. It is a total way of being.
In this module, you’ll discover:
Between our birth and death we may touch understanding,
As a moth brushes a window with its wing.
— Christopher Fry
In this final session, you’ll look at the transfer of consciousness that takes place at the end of life. You’ll learn how to prepare for a peaceful and graceful transition — for yourself and to help others.
Death is not a mysterious and final event. It’s a gateway into the next stage of the soul’s long and exciting journey. At its very best, our passing over is a calm and loving event that radiates reassurance and inspiration to all our loved ones and companions.
You’ll see how preparing for a good end of life also supports you living a good life now.
In this module, you’ll discover:
In addition to William’s transformative 7-module virtual course, you’ll receive these special bonuses to complement the course and take your understanding and practice to an even deeper level.

You’ll receive the following enlightening sessions:
In challenging and dangerous times, it's crucial that people find love and safety — both in their meditations and in their day-to-day lives. To feel this love and safety, two important elements are needed in your practice: first, that you fully experience the healing and benevolence of what William defines as “the bliss fields,” and second, that you balance your sensitivity and openness with practices that support your ongoing emotional and spiritual health. Join William and Shift Network staff member Nick Mattos in this enlightening conversation.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you again for your course, I literally feel I have “grown” in so many ways! I know I have a long way to go, but this course has opened my eyes to a world and universe I never realized was so big. The awareness I have with how I behave and respond to my friends, family, and clients, and their response in return, is just fantastic.

Hi, William, a note to say a huge thank you for the training day in London yesterday. By far it is the most useful and enjoyable meditation teacher/leader training session I have attended.

You know I really feel privileged to be able to learn from your doing and your being. Thank you.

“I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever...”
I had never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion, and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon within which to participate. I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever — not in all the years of taking college classes — and I had my doubts about doing an online course. The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
