Turning the Great Reset into a Great Awakening

April 19, 2021 by Zen

Great Reset into the Great Awakening?

Can we turn what’s being called the ‘great reset’ into a ‘great awakening’ that is beneficial? We’ve all been affected by the last year’s chaos and confusion over a pandemic that has the world in it’s grip, right? Businesses across industries and sizes have been saddled with the challenges of agility, perseverance and transformation to incorporate new demands and a shifting marketplace. Much of what was once done face-to-face has transformed into virtual encounters and/or organizational meetings.

I turned to a world-renowned leader for some additional perspectives, possible guidance and world view. Klaus Schwab is the Executive Director of the World Economic Forum, an organization that features global leaders and shapes economic policies that trickle down to you and me. Beyond the bi-polar views of the organization and its function, he notes some critical issues we face. Whether we like it or not, we’ve become a global village made up of people like you and me, as well as local, regional, national and global organizations struggling to meet the demands of this new 21st Century outlook.

Klaus’ questions about ‘can we be caring and compassion toward each other coming out of COVID?’ and ‘will businesses be agile enough to meet the demands and survive, let alone thrive?’ are certainly important questions we all need to consider; if not personally then for our businesses or companies. We simply must find a way to work together better and offer solutions that allow us to remain free and unencumbered by medical or political restrictions. Healthy people, and humanity in general, need options that don’t prohibit the evolution of our specie toward a Type 1 Civilization, our next step in our planetary civilization’s evolution toward the stars.

My life experience is one that has allowed me to consider other aspects of our reality, our interconnectedness across many fields of play. I say play because we are all actors who determine our own scripts, whether we realize it or not. The notion of cosmic consciousness condensed into form, which was the core understanding I received in a near-death experience as a teen in college in 1975, gives us pause to consider just how powerful our choices, our feelings and our thoughts are and how they affect our reality. Larry Dossey, MD, in his book One Mind (highly recommended), brings ancient and current understanding into view and illustrates, through examples of extraordinary abilities, that we are inexperienced and vastly under-educated in the knowledge of self, let alone others.

Can we turn the great reset into the great awakening? My transformational life coaching practice echoes this understanding as I work with clients who have dreams and aspirations and a loosely developed skillset that allows them to at least begin the journey of moving their dreams to reality. Several clients have come, some after consulting other business coaches who give them data dumps but no ‘how to’ hand-holding, only to find out that through careful and considerate questions the path for them opens as we craft action plans for them to do so. Whether they realize it or not there are spiritual practices that support their journey. The most simple is the old adage paraphrased, ‘where two or more are gathered, there I am also.’ Here’s an interesting question: Who are you?

Turning the Great Reset into the Great Awakening

For at least a couple of decades I made regular visits to discussion groups and workshops on self-improvement and self-development. The question I closed the last paragraph with was asked quite often, which drew out all kinds of answers. Some referred to what their jobs were, some were spiritual like ‘I am a divine being’ and some were focused on family relationships. Those were all good answers and relevant to the individuals, though the deeper truth seemed illusive, and all-encompassing answer that worked for everyone. I was first asked the question in the early 80s in Jim Tolleson’s Empire Builders weekend intensive held at the Francisco Grande in Casa Grande, Arizona.

My answer: “I Am… and the rest is up to your perception.” How or why did I answer that way? The simple answer is that my NDE allowed me to reference what appeared to be the fact that even as a cosmically conscious individual, others were bereft of the experience and therefore could only see me through their own lenses of perception. Every time we encounter another, those lenses apply whether we are cognizant of them or not. We see people, places and things through our own lens, developed or not. So how to we develop a better, more expansive lens, or do we? Perhaps a more well-developed lens will assist the process of converting the great reset into the great awakening.

I had a recent conversation with a business leader and philanthropist who mentioned Marianne Williamson’s quote in part. I’ll include the whole quote here as you will see how powerful it could be for you:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

In the growth to self-awareness and success we have to address the fears we encounter, and we all encounter fears. An old friend, Willy Whitefeather [RIP], in an interview I had with him for One World so many years ago, offered an interpretation that I’ve seen repeated over and over for decades. ‘FEAR is only False Evidence Appearing Real. What we seek to do is Free Every Anxious Reaction.’ The young whippersnapper in me piped up with, ‘and what we usually do is F.. Everything And Run.’ It’s quite interesting how the latter is absolutely true. We avoid rather than lean into our fears. Let’s turn this great reset into a great awakening of the human spirit of transcendence.

Embracing Your Own Creative Power

Imagine if you embraced the notion that you were powerful beyond measure. How would that look? Probably pretty scary at first. As a transformational life coach I start with that premise and work with clients to extend and integrate that awareness into their lives, their personal experience system beyond the beliefs they may have been entertaining for most of their lives. Their lives truly transform.

One client recently came to me with a dream of having her own TV show, among other things. The pandemic had severely dampened her work; doing live performances as an artist painting icons on the fly. No events meant no work. Sound familiar?

That all changed in a matter of months. Her faith in God played a huge part, though she didn’t realize it really turned into faith in herself. Our agreement (where two or more…) of her dream-come-true fueled the thoughtmospheric action that allowed it to come forth, first as a single show in an ongoing series that features a pay-it-forward theme. It worked so well that the producers began discussing the potentials of her own show and were going to pitch it to their network of over 75 million viewers. I don’t want to reveal much more, though you’ll find her in my testimonials, as the events are still unfolding. So, what is your dream or dreams?

Certainly I cannot take credit for the entire flow of events. I was merely a player in them, knowing the right script in order to engage the spectacle of transforming dreams into reality. How do I do that? Can it be learned? How can you take advantage of your own brilliance, skillset and talent? I’m able to do it through decades of practice, trial and error and learning the depths of cognitive science in order to apply the principles on a regular, if not on-demand, basis. Of course you can learn it, too, and with the help of a coach/mentor it is certainly much easier and truncates the timeframe you’d experience just doing it on your own. Taking advantage of your brilliance, skillset and talent means you lift yourself out of the self-deprecation and self-doubt you’ve no doubt included in your internal dialog with self for years.

Is This for YOU?

transformational life coaching, online life coach, transformation - a guide for change — This workbook is set up for a 30-day process. It will change your life for the better.

My program isn’t or everyone. It’s demanding of your intelligence, your ability to suspend beliefs and learning how to read the signs that are all around you at any given moment that you’ve been dismissing or missing altogether. It’s a kind of science of mind, an application of cognitive science, though there is really no religion or spirituality to it. It’s built in to every one of us by design. Like Larry Dossey offers in One Mind, and I can deliver to you as an experience over time…

Imagine a united consciousness, an awareness of which all of our minds are a part . . . and a potential way out of the division, greed, and destruction that threaten to engulf our world.

Most of the books about our connectedness offer examples of others who’ve managed to perform beyond the imagination and, consequently, have become objects of reference and study. Some offer methods to experiment and explore your own natural abilities, gifts and talents. After a decade or so of coaching and consulting, I put together a guide of my own, called Transformation: A Guide for Change. It’s got many of the exercises I learned and some that I found on my own through experimentation, trial and error, that worked really well. Since you are here, I’ll offer you a free download, without requiring your email or name, so you can test it for yourself and perhaps follow up with me.

A Kind of Revolution That Elevates instead of desimates

FLOW – Your Mind, Body and Spirit in Action

July 6, 2019 by Zen

Transformational Life Coaching enables and empowers your ability to discover and engage FLOW in your life. Some of us are fortunate to discover the concept and observe it in our lives early. Some struggle with acquiring the skill set necessary to apply the art and science. I discovered an author, awarded the ‘Thinker of the Year’ in 2000, who devoted research, study and translation of findings into several works on FLOW.

From Amazon:

Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s famous investigations of “optimal experience” have revealed that what makes an experience genuinely satisfying is a state of consciousness called flow. During flow, people typically experience deep enjoyment, creativity, and a total involvement with life. In this new edition of his groundbreaking classic work, Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates the ways this positive state can be controlled, not just left to chance. Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience teaches how, by ordering the information that enters our consciousness, we can discover true happiness and greatly improve the quality of our lives.

I’ve incorporated many of the tenets Csiksentmihalyi presents and have found even better techniques to help clients become more attentive and aware of their own flow. It isn’t just personal, though, as our lives aren’t islands. We engage people, places and things to achieve our daily goals, let alone life goals. The better we get, the more joy and happiness we experience; a kind of synchronicity that brings a smile of recognition.

Now some may argue that joy and happiness isn’t all its cracked up to be; that it is overrated and overvalued. I would offer that those folks have succumbed to the level of simply accepting their lives as they are, tolerate the misery and false promises of poorly chosen relationships and wish something would change. They haven’t determined what needs changing as the discomfort hasn’t grown to the point of intolerance.

Ultimately, we seek joy and happiness. It often comes in the form of loving and being loved. Not everyone has that, though, yet the desire to be happy still remains as a driving force, consciously or unconsciously. We know we deserve it, yet our beliefs about self often counteract the desire with self-deprecating inner statements. Those statements surely impede flow if not stifle it completely.

Zen brings a level of human revolution seldom experienced in traditional world. His presentation skills are exemplary, as can be witnessed by his many successful campaigns and product launches. Zen is also technically proficient and down to earth. He is able to connect to and inspire broad audiences. His guidance for me has always left me high-spirited and well educated for my daily success in decision making at all walk of life. Zen is a consummate professional and passionate individual who can be counted on to help plan carefully and thoroughly, to mobilize the needed resources and to motivate you for great results with a massive Inner Transformation. ~ Sunder Rajan

This brings us to the question: “How do you find flow?” It’s as simple as paying attention to what is right in front of you. Too often we look all around us – to the side, behind, to the horizon – and forget to notice what is present and purposeful right in front of us. This applies to business and personal goals and objectives as well, practical and pragmatic applications for success.

Access to flow is always there and sometimes we need help to see it, removing the distractions and clarifying the course of action. A good coaching relationship provides those keys and tools with ways to implement them on a regular basis, creating new habits that promote your life-goals and well-being. Your action plan will have clear and simple steps that excites you now. The dread of each day will disappear, if you’ve had it.

Now, what if you are wondering about ‘life goals’ and haven’t really figured out what those are yet? Great coaching assists you in getting clearer, utilizing your aptitude, skill set and understanding of what matters to align your passions with purpose. It isn’t a great mystery.

The prudent path is already inside of you, perhaps buried by things you don’t even realize are there. We’ll discover and transcend those bottlenecks and align your mind, body and spirit to work better for you. You’ve got the power to perform. I can show you how to use it in far less time than it would take for self-discovery.

Discipline and Practice of Letting go

June 12, 2018 by Zen

The Discipline and Practice of ‘Letting Go’

We’ve all heard the phrase, ‘Let go and let God.’ Can you? Are you sure? Do we have to really work on recognizing and releasing our attachments to outcome? Usually we do; working through the frustrations of self-criticism along the way. But, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Oftentimes, we find ourselves in a vicious vortex of self-destructive patterns. That same vortex can just as quickly release us when we know how to let go of our critical subjective nature, acknowledge the feeling, allow the feeling without denial, choose to release it, observe its release and accept a better feeling. Sounds so simple in theory yet again, doesn’t it?

What if it really is?

This practice is a relatively simple yet profound tool for transformation and transcendence. You might already realize the advantages. What you will be doing is synergizing your breath with your feelings, releasing the emotional blocks or bottlenecks to your true freedom and flow.

Depending on what you uncover in your emotional patterning, it can work quickly or take some time. The process, once perfected, can be used anywhere at any time. The results are experienced in many ways as they offer deeper understanding of your own emotions and feeling patterns.

We can either respond or react to any situation, depending on our perspective. By responding, we pause and reflect before we act. The observer within allows us to step away from the emotional attachment to outcome, yet helps us define those attachments because we have become aware of them now.

Once aware, we can choose how to respond rather than react out of some unconscious pattern of old behavior. This is especially helpful when dealing with races from other planets that have a higher frequency than most humans. That may seem a lot to consider, but the news lately certainly creates the possibility.

Personal growth does not have to be painful, even though it often is. Why would we want to continue to experience pain, then? We can observe and not be engaged by the disturbance. So recognizing that the observer is a really powerful place, how do we find it?

The focus of this exercise is to move beyond disturbance in your emotional patterns, the blocks or resistance to change or growth, and become the observer of your process. Emotional attachments cause blockages in energy flow in the circuitry. Our neurocircuitry operates on energy flow, electrical impulses that move through it, or not.

Sometimes we have enough awareness to be able to ask why we reacted to a situation in such an inappropriate or incongruous way. That question is an opportunity to explore the deeper causes of our reaction. The following exercise is designed to allow you to garner greater awareness and control of your responses to stimuli. When you can ‘watch’ then you can respond more appropriately on the fly.

Exercise:

Find a place where you can completely relax and be uninterrupted for at least a half hour. Create an environment you feel totally protected and supported in (crystals, incense, calming music, etc.) Then, when you are ready…

Recall a situation where you reacted emotionally out of control.

Remember the feeling/action/words that triggered the reaction.

Feel the feeling as deeply as if it had just happened again. Embrace the feeling as though it was totally present right now. Notice the sense of it in your body and hold onto it as though it was the most precious thing in the world.

Now, take a deep breath and, just let it go. On the exhale, feel yourself relax and release it fully, or as much as possible. It may only feel slightly different. That’s okay. It is still different now.

Breathe deep, again and breathe again. Feel the tension leave your body as it is replaced by a sense of freedom just from breathing.

Notice that you feel better, less stressed and less tense.

If you don’t know how to release the feeling, just imagine you are free of the disturbance it has caused… completely… like it never happened and you feel completely loved and surrounded by a sense of safety and security. Feel like nothing can harm you, period; like you are in the arms of your parent, protector or God.

That is the process. It is that simple. You probably had forgotten about the feeling, right? Still, if it came up as you focused then it has been there, deep in your subconscious, and affecting your life without your awareness. There could be a bit of residual emotion still. That, too, can disappear with practice. Imagine if you took conscious breaths on a regular basis.

Sometimes past lives, whether you believe in them or not, can affect your current life stream. Your karma is just as easily worked out by and through this process as it is called – forgiveness. We think about forgiveness, but it is a process of releasing.

Most world religions include teachings on the nature of forgiveness, and many of these teachings provide an underlying basis for many varying modern day traditions and practices of forgiveness. Some religious doctrines or philosophies place greater emphasis on the need for humans to find some sort of divine forgiveness for their own shortcomings. Others place greater emphasis on the need for humans to practice forgiveness of one another, yet others make little or no distinction between human and divine forgiveness.

There is a feeling beyond forgiveness once one has processed their bottlenecks. It is a feeling of being imperturbable, as Lester Levinson put it. It is where one becomes completely impervious to inner and outer emotional tugs. It is a place even beyond bliss.

Don Juan, who was Carlos Castaneda’s guide, taught of ‘sealing the egg’ which required severing all psychic cords to others. The ‘egg’ is akin to one’s aura, the luminous egg that surrounds each or us like a cocoon. It is another opportunity in the process of ‘letting go.’

To further enjoy your opportunity, you can get the workbook that includes much more information and opportunity titled: Transformation – A Guide for Change. I ran across a great article by Rob Liu that offers inspiration in making better choices.

Transformation – Your Door to What Is… happening

February 22, 2018 by Zen

Your Door to ‘What Is’

“In the realm of human destiny, the depth of man’s questioning is more important than his answers.”
Andre Malraux

What is in it for you?

In starting any self-awareness or self-development program the first concern on nearly everyone’s mind is, “How can this person help?” or “What is in it for me?” are standard inquiries. What’s this ‘door to what is’ thing? I hope to make that clear as we move through this process. It will be one that will empower you to be more authentic and make better choices in your life.

Some of the following may seem incredulous and don’t forget that truth is often stranger than fiction. My life is living proof and I’m still seeking answers to explain some experiences.

Let me give you a quick thumbnail. If you need more information, you can search Zen Benefiel on the Web and the results would keep you occupied for weeks. Please feel free to check. Here’s a piece on the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts website.

As an orphan and adoptee with an insatiable curiosity and penchant for pushing the limits of reality, I apparently opened a door in my psyche very young that allowed paranormal experiences to fill my life. I enjoy them still, yet the challenge is the harmonization of inner and outer realities, crafting a niche in the world that aligns and rewards passion and purpose for and with people, places and things. To put it simply – finding form, fit and function in this reality.

This curiosity was initiated by a voice that called out to me shortly after my fifth birthday. It was distinct and loud, yet was inaudible to anyone else around me. A few years later I began having nightly excursions, observing my physical body from a different point of view that took me into an orange cigar-shaped cloud hovering over a field next to my home in rural Indiana, near Muncie.

Those nightly excursions happened numerous times over a two-year period. It wasn’t until years later that I discovered the ‘cloud’ was the most common ‘contactee’ experience during that time period, according to Ruth Montgomery’s Aliens Among Us. It was also included in Strangers Among Us. Admittedly, the childhood I had was different than most.

Then in my late teens just after the beginning of my second quarter in college I got hit with the proverbial, “Who am I?” and “What am I here to do?” scenario. For many that is the first period of serious questioning regarding life, but not everyone has it. It came at a time of serious emotional trauma.

I prayed to know what truth was and a week later during a meditation I was asked, by the same voice I’d heard years earlier, if I was willing to die for what I believed in. My first response was, ‘Oh, shit!’ but I believed in Cosmic Consciousness as the ultimate truth and said, “Yes.” I felt safe and secure in that.

To keep the story short, I left my body, turned to see it as I moved away, looked back to see where I was going and found myself engulfed in white light immediately. I felt like I was HOME beyond comprehension. After realizing I wasn’t ‘dead,’ but this ‘Light’ was void of anything else other than the sense of unconditional love, I asked if there was more.

I felt a movement, found myself surrounded by points of light on an indigo background, and as soon as I realized these were points of consciousness the ‘voice’ explained my relationship to them and my purpose – to facilitate harmony among people and planet. What is a teenager supposed to do with that? There is more here.

A little over a decade later I experience an excruciating divorce, wave goodbye to my children and spiral into the rabbit hole for a year or so. It started one full moon night in June, just before my birthday, when a friend of mine and I were conversing outside our guest house he was renting for a short time.

Our conversation, deeper than usual, fell quiet and I closed my eyes and prayed silently, “Who am I?” I was overwhelmed when he turned to me and said out loud, “You are Zendor.” I was spellbound for a moment, with a quick vision that accompanied the words almost instantly. How does one ‘deal’ with that? A couple of years later I had the opportunity to use it wisely.

Experiment in Mentorship – Creating a Personal Council

Your Personal Council Awaits

We all know the importance of having a mentor or mentors in life and professional environments. The style and type of mentor is generally chosen for professional reasons. Do you have any now? What are they like? Let’s discuss mentors for a bit here. The specific instances may not apply to your personal life, but the essence of mentorship is quite helpful to explore.

Learning how to ask the right questions, especially in serving a purpose, is one of the keys to success. Mentors help to guide one in the direction of their best interests for personal and professional benefit. Knowing more about leadership allows one to grow in their ability to lead both self and others. I prefer a mentor as a master teacher, a confidant; one who stretches my ability to conceive of ways to accomplish goals with increasing ethical foundations that can be shared with others in the process.

I prefer a mentor that has depth, is able to share insights into human dynamics and problem solving while asking me to consider the same. Because of my awareness of psychospiritual mechanisms, I also prefer a mentor who has at least an open mind and shares their own personal discoveries in the moment, creating opportunity for discussion and reflection. A mentor leads you to ask better questions about yourself and the world around you.

A mentor shares a variety of ways to ask pertinent questions that reveal opportunities to garner support and strength in partnering, moving groups toward achievement and excellence in performance. Mentors have contributed greatly to my life and well-being, increasing my sense of fulfillment and connectedness to life in general.

Knowing that mentors are a great benefit, we don’t always have access to them when we most need them. So how can you have access when you need their guidance? This next exercise is designed to help you create your own council of mentors. Acquiring these mentors for this purpose is quite easy. Just imagine them in your head, using your visualization to create the scenery. They can be living or dead because in your imagination there are no boundaries.

Exercise:

Pick a mentor/hero/inspiration for each of the twelve areas of your chart

Twelve Views of your Council and their Characteristics:

1. Being – a strong natural presence, with solid ethics, morals, and values.
2. Having – shows others the gifts life can offer by example.
3. Local Learning – demonstrated learning in immediate environment.
4. Root/Home – firmly rooted in their center, confident and serene.
5. Personal Expression – achieved their dream with natural passion.
6. Service/Sacrifice/Self-Transformation – served humanity with their life.
7. Intimate Others/Close Friend/Family – you honor and respect.
8. Partnership Results – demonstrated success through collaboration.
9. Higher Learning – pioneered education, discipline, or mentorship.
10. Work – success through applying abilities, skills and talents.
11. Public Expression – impacted the lives of many through their public life.
12. Mystery – successful through synchronistic or serendipitous events.

Two formats are provided for recording your inquiries and results. The first is an in-depth view of your personal responsibility based on self-knowledge and your willingness to accept constructive advice. The second is event or situation specific, allowing you to explore the choices for action. Take time to journal at the end of the exercise.

Long Format: Ask each to tell you your worst (personal weaknesses), your best (personal strengths), and how you can improve your skills from their point of view. This is an extremely powerful tool. It can offer a tremendous gift if you are willing to review the information openly, allowing yourself to be vulnerable in the comfort of your own private space. This is particularly nice if you like to keep your inner processing and thoughts private. The council already knows you deeply and can reflect many things that your normal processing might have missed. There is no time limit to the meeting. Make sure to journal about the process.

Short Format: Pick a few mentors relative to the specific area you need help and ask each to give their view of how you can perform in a specific situation, problem, event, opportunity, etc. Reflect on the information each gives you, like using conversational clarifiers or a reflection of what you understood. This allows you to completely relax without having to think about taking notes. It also helps in the journaling process afterward, which must be done in order for the process to have maximum effect. Journal afterward.

Once a week or when you are in need of counsel, call the twelve together in your mind and ask for their advice. You can construct a collage of pictures in order to visualize them more easily. It is important to make this meeting special, giving yourself time alone and uninterrupted. Ritualize the occasion (incense, candles, special garment, whatever will mark the process as being set apart from the routine of your life) Praise your mentors for their hero-hood, and thank them all for their past service, and in advance for what you are about to receive. Anticipation of phenomenal results adds to the experience. Begin by closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths to relax and prepare. All you are doing is having a conversation that is focused on you.

If you are uncomfortable or overwhelmed with such a large council, just create what is comfortable to you. The actual number of mentors is totally up to you. The point is that you make the attempt to create your council and work with it until you are comfortable in knowing it is available. This experiment can transcend your current cache of direct experience. Boundaries can disappear between worlds, physical and non-physical, if you let them. The four components: ask, believe, allow and receive.

Stubbing My TOE on Purpose – Discovering a Theory of Everything

December 7, 2017 by Zen

Stubbing My TOE on Purpose

‘Stubbing My TOE on Purpose’ is discovery and exploration of a theory of everything that includes finding one’s life purpose. In this book I’ve attempted to share a story with an expanded view of reality. It would be super cool if you’d share it.

SMToP is a combination of experience, research and synthesis of life’s conundrums and potential answers. I’ve been told it is engaging and yet not overladen with details, which is the nemesis of a storyteller… too many details.

Author Bruce ‘Zen’ Benefiel offers a healthy dose of spiritual wisdom for an “out-of-this-world” reader experience. Some dynamics which make this book a helpful guide are the author’s out-of-body experiences, his education and unique intelligence, combined with (but not limited to) an aptitude for research, diverse content synthesis and organization for reflection of his experience.
Zen embraces psychological, scientific, intuitive and mystical explanations, deepening the experience of “flow,” and more.
Woven by the common thread of his mystical experiences, Zen continually provides insightful logic regarding the ultimately inevitable connections among science and spirituality, connecting within, and galactic citizenry. Meaningful personal stories from the author’s physical life experience are steeped in wisdom. That said; the author’s emotional vulnerability is a great asset to humanizing the mystical experiences he lives out.
Zen’s authentic sharing creates a good foundation for us (the readers) to contemplate and realize the unique reality to which we have embraced and have been exposed. The book reveals compelling evidence that we can each go beyond our normal waking consciousness to connect in higher and finer ways.
The author’s knowledge of mental-emotional transformational methodologies makes for well-explored and deeply penetrating lessons.

The capacity SMToP has for introducing new thought as well as corroborating the lesser talked about experiences of others is one of my goals. I feel it is a seminal view of consciousness, cosmology and the congruence of science and spirituality.

Perhaps you will, too…. Get the Book
