In June of 1993 I was given a book called "Emmanuel's Book" by Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton. This book was beautiful, peaceful, and given my state of consciousness at the time, utterly beyond my understanding.

Somehow, however, it had an effect on me. That effect was to start me on my quest for joy -- my path towards enlightenment.

I was at that time firmly entrenched in my mind. I thought of myself as a scientist -- living by logic and the scientific-method. So anything that sounded "religious" or "spiritual" seemed immediately suspect and sometimes down-right foolish.

Not long after that my mother died of breast cancer. A very special event occurred, an event that I couldn't explain with my rational "thinking" mind. I was forever changed. My mind's hold on me was shaken.

It wasn't until years later, when the amazing book Power vs. Force came into my life that my spiritual program received a major boost. This book starts with over 50 pages of hard-core science that proves that there is more to life that what we see with our eyes. This really appealed to me. Then I learned about the Map of Human Consciousness and ZOOM! I was on the fast-track to enlightenment!

By far, the most important book for me has been "The Power of NOW". Please, please buy and read this book. This book has the power to change the world, and save our precious planet -- two things I'm really interested in!

I can tell you this: before my journey began I was "normal". I worried about the future, I replayed "movies" in my head over-and-over. I was miserable now, but I just knew somehow the future would be better. I was nervous, anxious, and never really happy.

Now, I live mostly in the present moment -- the NOW. I don't worry. I don't fear anything. I am mostly happy. I have an abiding and deep sense of peace.

This website is my "giving back" to the world. I hope it helps you. Building it certainly has helped me.
