Thomas Ramey Watson

One of Thomas Ramey Watson's prominent forebears on his mother's side was Jacques LaRamee. A number of places in the upper Rocky Mountain West bear his name to this day. Laramie, Wyoming is best known. Jacques was a renowned and influential explorer and fur-trapper. Because he was just, honest, and treated others, including the often-despised native Americans, well, he was held in high esteem. One winter, the story goes, the native Americans were starving, so they killed one of Ramee's cattle. He told his workers not to take action against them--they were hungry. Jacques shared with fellow free-trappers his theory that the world was wide and there was room enough for all. He had the courage to live his convictions and followed the beat of his own heart, not what was imposed on him from outside.

One of Ramee's progeny, psychotherapist, life coach, writer, and professor, Thomas Ramey Watson believes that journeying in various realms--of the mind, the physical world, and the soul--is central to enjoying a good life. The insights gleaned from becoming aware of the intersecting planes of existence lead us to fuller and more deeply lived lives.

Thomas Ramey Watson, Ph.D., is an affiliate faculty member of Regis University's College of Professional Studies in Denver, Colorado. He has served as the Episcopal chaplain (lay) for the Auraria Campus in Denver and taught English for the University of Colorado at Denver. He has trained as a psychotherapist and was named a Research Fellow at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale University, a position he did not take, choosing to do postdoctoral work at Cambridge University instead.

He is the author of many scholarly writings, including an acclaimed book on Milton, Perversions, Originals, and Redemptions in Paradise Lost; a popular memoir, Baltho, The Dog Who Owned a Man; two books of poetry, The Necessity of Symbols and Love Threads; a novel, Reading the Signs: A Paranormal Love Story; and the memoir, Seer: The Communion of the Living and the Dead, Vol. 1, which was recently released on Kindle. Vol. 1 will soon be released on Kindle. These volumes will then be compiled into one complete work and published both on Kindle and in paperback.

Dr. Watson is available for speaking engagements, teaching assignments, counseling, and coaching. He can be reached at trw@thomasrameywatson.com. You are invited to join him on Baltho's Facebook page, Baltho, The Dog Who Owned a Man.

Without justice, not just for one but for all--not only the powerful, but the disenfranchised, those without voices, the poor in spirit and material goods--there can be no real or lasting peace.
