Why do I need a Spiritual Life Coach?

The mission of a Spiritual Life Coach...my mission is to "Save the World one soul at a time starting with mine." 

So what does that mean exactly?

Why would anyone reading this look at this website and decide that they wanted to hire me as a Spiritual Life Coach?

The simplest answer is that I have learned a process that puts an end to suffering.

Buddha said that "enlightenment is the end of suffering."

The Self-Mastery course that I teach is a step by step process to attain enlightenment. So what does "enlightenment" mean?

I could give you many definitions that I have read over the years in all the books I've studied, but I'll give you my definition.

For me, enlightenment means that I no longer consider myself a human being that occasionally has a spiritual experience or a moment of inner peace that I attain through some outward experience.

For example, I used to have to do something really exciting to find those moments of peace. I found inner peace when after having jumped out of a plane, the parachute opened and I had a few moments of peace before I had to start thinking about landing.

I used to have moments of it when racing my motorcycle through the woods and I would just kind of find this rhythm...weaving in and out of the trees. It was there...just for a second or two.

Or the few moments right after sex...before anyone started talking, before my mind started worrying about "was I good?", "what did they experience?", etc.

I used to have that moment right after I bought something that I had been wanting. That brief instant of satisfaction, of fulfillment.

The problem was that those brief moments were never enough, so I sought more danger, more sex (and if I didn't get that feeling again with a woman, I just moved to a different woman), more things...because unconsciously, I was seeking those brief moments of satisfaction...those brief moments of peace.

If anyone had asked me why I did what I did...and many people did ask me...especially women as I bounced from one relationship to another, I would have given them what I thought was an honest answer. And it may have been accurate at the time, but it wasn't the truth. Because the truth was, I didn't know why I did those things. I had never looked deep enough into myself to understand why and even the prospect of looking that deep scared the hell out of me.

I would never have actually told anyone that I was scared. I would have said that I didn't need to do that. I would have come up with something like I just hadn't found the right woman yet. In other words, I would have externalized my problem. I would have said something along the lines of I just didn't believe in all that psychology stuff.

After all, I wasn't depressed (that I was aware of), I wasn't creating dysfunction (that I was aware of) and I was normal...and THAT in itself is part of the problem. 

Because I didn't consciously understand who and what I really am, I bounced back and forth from doing one of two things, I either internalized my problems...by blaming myself and withdrawing from a person or situation...or I externalized it by blaming that person or situation.

So if I was in a relationship and someone said something that struck a chord with me...something that hurt me...I withdrew from the relationship. I would go into my man cave and just be alone for awhile. I would be alone until my ego had gone through all of the reasons why I should be hurt and angry, why I was justified to do that and then when it had subsided enough, I would come out of my shell again.

By that time, in many cases the person was gone...so my problem was solved, right? At least until it happened again...and again. My other option was to blame them. If they did something that I knew they were wrong and I had justification to blame them, I focused my anger outwards.  

Neither option comes from a place of enlightenment. Neither is a healthy option and neither will create the type of life that I desired to create.  Because both options are a denial.

Most of the country and actually the world is in mass denial right now and so since they are, what is happening with us seems "normal."And yet this denial of the problem is causing most of our problems. 

 We are entering a New Age...the Age of Aquarius. And whether you believe in astrology or not, this age is having an effect on all of us.  

* How many of you know someone personally that is going through a divorce right now?

* How many of you know someone personally that is going through a debilitating illness?

* How many of you know someone personally that has some condition that traditional medicine has no explanation for, no idea why this is happening and no sure way to treat it?

* How many of you know someone personally who has committed suicide? 

The best explanation for what I feel happening right now is that the Universe is kind of wringing itself out...like wringing the dirty water out of a rag. And since so many of us are still operating on the unconscious level, we FEEL this pressure...but we either intensify the internal or external pressure. 

We deny, deny, deny that we have a problem to resolve. WE are not the problem. That other person, my manager, this one co-worker, my wife/husband, that idiot who just cut me off in traffic...they are the problem. I'm fine.  

This is the dysfunction. We are so identified with our minds that we can't see...hear or feel what's really happening.  Thus we continue to have suffering.  But there IS a way to end the suffering.  By no means am I saying that the way I teach is the only way.  

Hinduism teaches that "there are many rivers to the ocean" and this is true.  

Self-Mastery is but one way. But what I liked about it is that it doesn't require either you or I to possess psychic abilities. That is another way, but one that didn't work for me. In that way, I had to put my faith in someone else to heal me.

Self-Mastery doesn't require blind faith. It is a clinically proven step-by-step process. The founder of this course spent 25 years arranging all of this material into a process by which anyone can attain enlightenment. I don't think he consciously knew that's what he was doing all of that time. He was a counselor and he was just dedicated to helping his clients so much that he just kept adding on to his practice until it grew into this course. And then he realized he could teach others how to teach this. I am one of those teachers he has taught.  

Teaching my clients how to heal their pain is the most fulfilling thing I could be doing right now. Because the more of us that put an end to our inner suffering, the faster we can put an end to the suffering that is going on in our world.  

Are you ready to take that step? It's not your fault that you are where you are...but it is your responsibility to change it. No one else can do it for you. 

But if you stick with it...if you apply yourself to this course, not only will you put an end to your own suffering, but you will want to share it with others.  I did and I have many clients who I am helping now who are seeing changes in their lives, changes in their relationships and most importantly changes in themselves. They are becoming more loving to themselves and others and more peaceful in their lives.

I guide many people who are not enrolled in this course...just as a sounding board for what they are exploring in their journey...to validate what they are experiencing, to listen when they feel other people might think they're crazy to be trying what they're trying and to be a source of new ideas for where to take their journey next.
