I started practicing Transcendental Meditation in high school. I have studied with psychics, channelers, gurus, and spiritual teachers - both in person, and through their books and tapes - since the early 80s.
I have seen a lot of them come and go in my life. I have gotten a little bit from each one of them, and am thankful for their humor and wisdom.
After a period of “shopping” however, you eventually settle down with a few things that consistently work for you. They become your core philosophy. For me, that would be The Course in Miracles, Mindfulness Practice, and Eckhart Tolle. That doesn’t mean I don’t check out teachers from time to time. It means that I am no longer shopping for a new one.
With advent of my third spiritual book, “Mindfulness: The Miraculous Practice,” I have started to teach publicly in the Pasadena area.
