WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

"I am enjoying the course. I have done yoga for 45 years so am used to meditation. During those years I used my Christian thoughts for relaxation. I like to re-review your course and keep working on my progress. God bless you!" - Margaret G. San Diego


"While I 'know' and, indeed, have taught for years everything that you mentioned in our phone call and in your map the reality is that I had lost my point of view, my “center”, my connection/relationship with our Source, our God. What I seem to have needed was someone whacking me over the head with the truths that you did...which specific language I had not heard before and which moved me instantly into a new heart-space. Just like that." - Brian M. Vancouver, BC


"I applaud you for stepping out and providing information and services for those that are undergoing a spiritual transformation and are wondering what the heck is happening to them. You have been very helpful and responsive to me and my questions and I deeply appreciate that!" - Laura W. Colorado Springs
