I didn't start down my spiritual path to gain enlightenment...or even empowerment. I went into this kicking and screaming.

In April 1990, I woke up with a deep vein thrombosis in my femoral vein. Ten years later, I experienced a broken femur and was told that had my skeletal structure not been weakened, this wouldn't have happened to me. In both cases, traditional medicine could not tell me WHY this was happening to me.

Feeling I had no other choice, I set off to find a solution for myself. I started my studies with nutrition and exercise to strengthen my body, but found healing through my emotional work.

I have experienced the highs and lows of life just like those of you seeking change in your life. I not only had physical challenges to overcome, but had problems in my relationships as well. I married and divorced after a 7 year relationship...worked on myself during my time as a single and was surprised to find that the biggest problems from my first marriage were waiting for me when I entered into another serious relationship. Surprise!!

These two women couldn't have been more different, so it helped me to realize that the only common denominator here was...me. If I wanted my relationships to change, I had to face my beliefs and resulting unconscious behaviors that were silently sabotaging my relationships.

It has helped that my wife has also been through the Self-Mastery course as we both take responsibility for our feelings in the relationship and both understand how we are creating our individual and collective realities. We have chosen to consciously create a Spiritual Partnership in which nothing is more important to us than supporting each others' spiritual growth.

In the past 18 years I have studied hundreds of books, but the Self-Mastery course brought it all together for me in a repeatable step by step process using clinically tested self-help exercises. Much of the information in this course wasn’t new to me. What WAS new was the way the information was arranged, the clinically tested exercises that had been developed to help me overcome my specific challenges one step at a time...and then to teach me how to master the tools that allow me to create the life I desire.

I found that while all of my studies had resulted in an intellectual enlightenment...conceptually I knew who I was. I knew I was a child of God. I KNEW I was a spiritual being having a human experience. But I only understood this as a concept. I didn't know how to apply what I knew and thereby be Empowered to create my life the way I wanted it.

By no means have I created everything in my life that I desire...yet. But...I do know HOW to do that now. I have learned that my life is an experiential experiment of trial and error. I now understand how what I see in my world comes into my experience and instead of judging myself or others when that happens, I simply tweak my belief systems to change my experience.

Knowing I have the power to create my life has taken the stress out of living and given me back the magic of exploring this wonderful world we live in. It is my sincere desire to teach you how you can do the same.
