Our Founder

At the California Institute for Human Science, we are inspired by the principles and philosophy of our founder and first President, Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama. Dr. Motoyama’s life was directed toward laying the foundations for the emergence of a new integrative worldview wherein the insights derived from religion, spirituality, and science could be harmonized and unified. Specifically, Dr. Motoyama held that the materialistic universe disclosed by twentieth century science is but one aspect of a broader and deeper cosmos that includes spiritual dimensions. He taught that the human being consists of body, mind, soul, and spirit, and that humanity’s deepest essence is love and wisdom. All human beings have an inherent capability to achieve oneness with God and to realize the underlying emptiness of the Absolute.
