Chapter 150. The Knowledge Seekers Workshops: Format, Phases and Community

The Knowledge Seekers Workshops (KSW) are the main channel through which Mehran Tavakoli Keshe taught. They were also the meeting place of the community that formed around him. They began in spring 2014 as online sessions on reactors and “GANS” materials. The library’s latest holdings show them still running in September 2026. In that time a single format came to hold physics lessons, healing testimonials, product announcements, fundraising appeals, statements to governments, and a growing teaching on the soul and religion. This chapter describes the format and the phases of the series as the transcripts record them. It then describes the multilingual community of teachers, translators and chat groups that grew up around it. One caveat runs through all of it. The transcripts and summaries were produced by volunteers. Their headers state that KF has not checked them: “Transcripts has not been checked by KF. Please listen to original recording” [Keshe Foundation, KSW Summaries 1-393, #378714]. Later files carry the line “Auto transcription by Elias”, and from 2026 also “Transcription, Editing and Proofing done by KF Brazil” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 659, #378371].

The early phase: reactors, GANS and Fukushima (2014-2015)

The first workshops were technical and experimental. KSW 5 (3 April 2014) dealt with “the decontamination of Fukushima waters with Gans and Nano materials” and with reactor construction. Keshe claimed there that turning radioactive material into a GANS state makes it “non-radioactive”. He said: “No Materials can be dangerous to Human Beings … Radioactive is not a problem anymore!” [Keshe Foundation, KSW Summaries 1-393, #378714, “5th Knowledge Seekers Workshop”]. The same session announced “the decision to open the International Knowledge seekers to the world” and explained “how to be a student of Keshe Foundation” [#378714]. KSW 6 (10 April 2014) was announced with the line “Main topics will be Fukushima and Nano Materials”. A Japanese participant, Yukako, reported on Fukushima. Keshe then explained the CO2 box, saying “the current in these systems … are a Plasmatic flow, not electrons” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 6, #377649, “Fukushima Radiation Remediation and Nano Material Physics”].

Religion entered early. KSW 16 (26 June 2014) lists “Talks about Vatican Meeting, Unifying Religions” as its first topic. A Dr Eliya reported on a meeting at the Vatican. The transcript records: “When Mr. Keshe entered the Q started a huge rain”, and “a storm happened when Mr. Keshe entered the room and it is said that the storm stopped right when Mr. Keshe left the room”. Keshe then explained that “the reason to go to Vatican was nothing to do to put down the integrity of the position of the Pope, but to unite the Religions … we meet in the cloth of man, not with higher hierarchy … Its not about to create another Religion” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 16, #377659, “Vatican Meeting and Scientific Workshop Updates”]. The Summaries record an exchange in which a participant asks “how to handle the emotion of Mr. Keshe stepping down”. The reply is: “It’s not stepping down. In a way it’s a good news” [#378714]. By 2015 the tone had turned political. KSW 64 (4 June 2015) reports that “negotiations with governments has failed, now go straight to people of earth”. It also predicts that “the biggest objection will come from religions” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 64, #377707].

The anatomy of a session

The transcripts show a stable pattern. A session opens with Keshe’s greeting: “Good morning, good day to you. As usual, wherever you listen to this series of Knowledge Seekers of the Keshe Foundation Spaceship Institute” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 430, #378142]. Next come announcements on negotiations, governments or finances. Then follows a teaching segment on physics or the soul, and then questions handled by moderators. The early summaries already show the moderator “Rick” taking questions on nano-coating [#378714]. In KSW 510 the moderator “R” reads decommissioning documents aloud [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 510, #378222]. Transcripts are time-coded in the form “(:07)” or “(1:28)”, and the later ones open with a long keyword index. KSW 659 begins with a block that runs from “Universal process of life – give & receive energy” through “Negotiating 3 governments Keshe Coin (KC)” to “Zoroastrian Temple Sacred Fire burning – Fire Keepers breathe ash” [Keshe, KSW 659, #378371].

The soul and Universal Council phase (2016-2019)

From about 2016 the teaching on the soul and the “Universal Council” (UC) comes to the fore. KSW 171 shows the new register. It contains statements such as “I am the Totality as you are” and the claim that “we are all part of the same soul” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 171, #377814]. The Summaries volume preserves the programme of this phase: “The new guide line is not the Bible or any Holy Book, the new guide line is within the Soul of the man and is connected with the Physicality of the man”. Elsewhere it states: “We see the end of Vatican, the end of the leadership in the Islamic world as the way we have seen as Imams, Ayatollahs, Rabbis, and every other shape or form of priests” [#378714]. Money remains a constant subject. In KSW 240 (6 September 2018) Keshe reports that KF had received “an amazing 5 Euro” in donations over seven days. He adds that “an organization that costs thousands to run and millions of people benefit from it … only received 5 Euro” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 240, #377952].

COVID, peace diplomacy and the Mithra calendar (2020-2022)

The workshops of 2020-2022 combine teaching on the pandemic, statements on Iran’s nuclear file, and the Mithraic festival cycle. In KSW 412 Keshe claims that KF delivered documents to the IAEA showing how its knowledge had been “misunderstood” in the Iran file. He says the head of the IAEA “Mr. Grossi immediately shared the document” with the 5+1 powers, and that “we have become 5+3” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 412, #378124]. The same session (23 December 2021) celebrates the winter-solstice festival: “as it is Christmas, and the birth of Mitra, return of Messiah, return of the totality, where the Messiah is your soul”. It goes on: “Today’s teaching is celebration of life of Mitra. In a way, change the name in another language and call it Christ … call it the teaching a Mohammad, or Buddha”. It declares completion “as of the 21st of December, 2021” [Keshe, KSW 412, #378124]. Fundraising grows more pressing in this period. KSW 429 makes an urgent appeal: “We raised most of it, we showed 150,000 Euro” and “We have past 35,000 Euro collection at the moment” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 429, #378141, “Funding Requirements and Financial Structure”]. KSW 460 (24 November 2022) complains that visitors to the Linz centre paid nothing: “there is a light to pay for, there are people who teach you, the facilities, the cleaners, rent on the property” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 460, #378172].

Participants as test subjects (2022-2023)

From mid-2022 participants come to Linz, or join remotely, to sit inside KF systems. KSW 435 (2 June 2022) announces “Ready to start testing new FEU this Monday June 6th”. It speaks of “the one flight test in Linz” and of a remote group of 200 “for those who are outside”. It also announces plans to spread the systems “into Arizona, which is our headquarters, into our offices in Tehran, in our building in Beijing” [Keshe, KSW 435, #378147]. KSW 443 reports that “over 100 people” had passed through the “Keshe Foundation spaceship simulation center”. It quotes participants who said “I’m more calm, I don’t get angry anymore” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 443, #378155]. KSW 464 (22 December 2022) presents the results of 16 December, the “Promised Day”. Its index line reads: “physical proof graphs – collectively man with Prophets met Creator; Man – Prophets – Universal Council (UC) – Creator all equal”. Keshe says: “We gave you the Promised Day. You found peace between you and your Creator” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 464, #378176]. KSW 478 (23 March 2023) reports an eight-question survey of “about 80 participants of ‘Dining with the Creator'” after “2 weeks of feeding at the ‘table of the Creator'”. Keshe concludes that “Man can feed from the plasma System in Linz”. He reports figures of “79 out of 80” and “about 75%” for whom the system triggered “the brain of the man to produce water”, tested through saliva salinity [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 478, #378190].

The late series: transmutation, Keshe Coin and Space City (2023-2026)

The library’s newest workshops show the series still running. KSW 649 (2 July 2026) marks a “10th Anniversary – Fabio assassination – naming building Space City”. It then teaches on yawning as the moment when the “Soul hands over body to P[hysicality]” [Keshe, Knowledge Seekers Workshop 649, #378361]. Its notes on the Keshe Coin say that buyers “converted it to Gans, Balls, what we call, Cosmic Ray Balls”, and that “what you do with it is yours, it’s not ours” [#378361]. KSW 659 (10 September 2026) reports “Negotiating 3 governments Keshe Coin”. It says the coin will “Not replace national currency”, that “KF not take over governments”, and that the coin is “Not Cryptocurrency – can’t speculate”. The same session reports on China agriculture (“first year still contaminated … Pure conditions by 2028”). It also returns to Keshe’s Iranian childhood: “When I was in Iran … very first time I went to the temple. The Man who is in charge of the fire, they are usually very serene” [Keshe, KSW 659, #378371].

The community: Spaceship Institute, language teams and KAKT

The teaching structure is called the Keshe Foundation Spaceship Institute (KFSSI). An end-of-trimester report in the August 2018 Plasma Times records classes “in: Bengali, English, French, German, Hungarian, Romanian, Polish and Spanish”. It says that “the numbers of students who became class teachers in different languages has increased”. It also thanks “dedicated transcribers and translators” [Keshe Foundation, KF Plasma Times 2018-08, #38312, section 4]. The same issue covers a Polish conference and a KFSSI Polska YouTube channel [#38312, “Language Community”]. National communities also produced their own derived manuals. The library holds a Romanian series, Înțelegerea Științei Plasmatice (“Understanding Plasma Science”), subtitled “Serie de Ateliere de Lucru” / “Seria Atelierelor de Lucru” and dated 09/2017. It includes Part 2 on “Sănătate – Suflet – Natură” (Health – Soul – Nature) and Part 5 on “Plasma – Gans de CO2 & Zinc” [Keshe, Înțelegerea Științei Plasmatice, partea 2, #43973; partea 5, #43974].

The Telegram logs of the KAKT groups show how members understood the teaching. In December 2021 the group scheduled a reading of “408 Knowledge Seekers Workshop (KSW) Reading Key Phrases – Part 1 – The Truth about Christmas – The Birth of Mithra” for “December 21, 2021 – Birth of Mitra, Day of Enlightenment for Humanity”. On 25 December members posted greetings such as “Merry Christmas and happy glorious birthday of the Mithra!” [KAKT Knowledge Seekers, KAKT Chat 2021-12, #377890]. In August 2022 a member wrote: “I was from Shia belief. not complete. The completion came with understanding uncondionnal love brought to us by Mr Keshe”. Another member described Keshe as “the only specialist I would trust with emotional covid” [KAKT Knowledge Seekers, KAKT Chat 2022-08, #377898].

Key points

• The KSW ran from spring 2014 to at least 10 September 2026 (KSW 659), the latest workshop in the library.
• Sessions follow a fixed pattern of announcements, teaching, moderated Q&A and time-coded transcription. All transcripts are volunteer work and are marked unchecked by KF.
• The early workshops dealt with GANS, reactors and Fukushima. KSW 16 records a Vatican meeting “to unite the Religions”, reportedly accompanied by a storm.
• From 2016 the soul and Universal Council teaching dominates, with the line that “the new guide line is not the Bible or any Holy Book”.
• The 2021-2022 workshops fuse diplomacy on Iran’s nuclear file with the Mithraic calendar: 21 December 2021 is presented as the “birth of Mitra” and equated with Christ, Muhammad and Buddha.
• From 2022 participants are tested in Linz systems (flight units, the “Promised Day”, “Dining with the Creator”). Survey figures are reported by Keshe.
• Fundraising recurs throughout: 5 euros in a week (KSW 240), a 150,000-euro appeal (KSW 429), the costs of the Linz centre (KSW 460).
• The community works through the multilingual Spaceship Institute, national manuals (such as the Romanian series) and KAKT chats, where members celebrate the “birth of Mithra” at Christmas.
