The THADOS Collective  ·  Est. 1973

Everything worth knowing has been withheld.

For more than fifty years, TTC has been perfecting a way for knowledge to pass directly from one person to another. No lectures. No credentials. No permission.

1973Founded by Prof. Randall James
50+Years of continuous practice
0Lectures. Ever.
7thMeeting, when most members report a change

You have been taught to copy. We teach you to receive.

One

Bring a question

Apply with one question you cannot answer. That is the only requirement. It has always been the only requirement.

Two

Join a Chapter

Attend two meetings free. Chapters meet in person, in small groups, under the Forms developed by our founder.

Three

Keep another’s

You will take responsibility for another person’s question. Sit with it. By the ninth week, most members can’t explain what has changed. They just know.

“Every institution you have ever trusted was built to stand between you and what you could actually become.”

I walked into my first Chapter meeting with a successful business and a head full of other people’s opinions. I walked out unable to go back to either one.

What Professor James stumbled onto in that basement in 1973 is the most important thing nobody has told you. It took me to understand what it was. They will not be able to keep it from you any longer, because they cannot keep it from me.

I left my doctoral program after my second meeting. I have never once missed it.

By week nine I knew what my partner was going to say before she said it.

It costs less than one college textbook. It has given me more than the whole degree.
