“Tim Gillespie gives an excellent summary and step by step explainer of light wave mechanics … I highly recommend this course!”
What’s happening inside the Octave Wave?
Start with one diagram. Follow it through with Tim Gillespie.
Trace the movement from Russell’s wave diagram into his painting: where it begins, why it flows both ways, and what happens where the two sides meet.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
“I have just started the Light Wave Mechanics Series. The video presentations, PDF notes, and powerpoint slides provide a comprehensive, easy-to-follow format.”
Continue your study with the full series.
Continue beyond the Octave Wave into Russell’s periodic chart, mathematics, and ideas about Mind—with recorded explanations and downloadable materials to revisit at your own pace.
- Fourteen lessons, connection by connection. Study with Tim Gillespie, with Darren Colomb presenting the final lesson.
- Downloadable materials to study alongside the videos. Refer to the lesson PDFs as you watch, with slide decks also available for selected lessons.
- The original discussions and Q&A. Follow the questions participants raised and the explanations that followed—not just the prepared presentation.
- Time to work through what matters to you. Pause, replay a passage, and return to earlier lessons as your understanding develops.
Your course is hosted in the USP HUB, home to the University’s wider student community.

I keep returning to Russell’s work, but I still struggle to follow it. Is this for me?
You may have spent years reading Russell and still find the diagrams difficult to follow. The series returns to the foundations, giving you a guided way to deepen your understanding.
I already have a PDF of Russell’s work. What would the course add?
Having the text is different from being able to follow the diagrams. Tim Gillespie walks through them, explaining how the parts connect—so you can compare his explanation with what you’re seeing.
The series includes fourteen recorded lessons, the original discussions and Q&A, and downloadable lesson PDFs, with slide decks available for selected lessons. Pause an explanation, refer to the supporting material, and replay the parts you want to understand more clearly.
Start with the free Lesson 1 sample to see whether this approach helps you make sense of a diagram you’ve struggled with.
Would it help to have Russell’s books alongside me?
Yes. Having Russell’s books nearby can help you compare Tim’s explanations with the original passages and diagrams, then carry those connections into your own reading.
The course includes downloadable lesson PDFs, with slide decks available for selected lessons. These are supporting course materials—not copies of Russell’s books.
What if an explanation doesn’t click the first time?
You don’t have to move on before you’re ready. Pause the recording, refer to the downloadable lesson PDF or slides where available, then replay the passage with the diagram in front of you. Return to earlier lessons whenever you need to revisit a connection.
Can I experience the teaching before I enroll?
Yes. Sign up for the free eight-minute sample from Lesson 1 and watch it right here on this page, in its original course presentation. You’ll also get an interactive companion guide with Tim Gillespie’s audio to help you explore the diagram. See whether his way of explaining helps you follow what you’re looking at before deciding to enroll.
How long will I have access? Can I get a refund?
Your one-time purchase gives you ongoing access to the full series, with no expiration date. All sales are final; refunds are not available.
You can watch the free Lesson 1 sample before purchasing to see whether the teaching is right for you.
