I see myself as a "Modern Magician." I've studied many esoteric tomes and learned many practical incantations for making change happen as a Life Coach, and in my own personal development.

The most powerful and ecological personal change technology I've found is the Core Transformation process, which I now use primarily in my coaching and for my own growth.
My advice to you is not to undertake the spiritual path. It is too difficult, too long, and it is too demanding. What I would suggest, if you haven’t already begun, is to go to the door, ask for your money back, and go home now. This is not a picnic. It is really going to ask everything of you and you should understand that from the beginning. So it is best not to begin. However, if you do begin, it is best to finish.
