Offered with the Highest love in honor of
my beloved Teachers.

Offered with the Highest love in honor of
my beloved students,
who have given me the privilege of being their teacher
and who have also been my teachers.

Offered with the Highest love in honor of all
who are courageously remembering.

Your own Self-realization
is the greatest service you can render the world.

My Highest welcomes your Highest to this great journey of awakening!

Im overjoyed that you remembered our appointment with each other, and, even more important, that you kept your appointment with yourself and with the unfolding of your own emotional and spiritual freedom.

Ive been preparing for your arrival for many years, creating a sanctuary of healing, revelation, and remembrance in the form of this book. Now its complete, and everything is ready for you. Its finally time for me to joyfully fling the doors open and invite you in.

This is what teachers dowe prepare ourselves to serve the student, and then we wait for the student to arrive. So its a great moment of celebration when we can finally deliver what weve been saving for you. My own teachers were in service of my greatness. Im honored to have the opportunity to offer myself in service of your greatness, in service of your freedom, and in service of your Highest.

For 40 years, Ive been an author, a speaker, a radio and TV host, and an educator. Mostly, however, I am a mystic. A mystic is someone who understands, contacts, and maps the invisible roads inside of us. Since I was a child, Ive always felt as comfortable navigating these inner highways as I have moving on the external plane of existence. It seems that I show up in peoples lives when theyre ready to cross a threshold into more consciousness, healing, and awakening.

Over the past four decades, my work as a transformational teacher has undergone several major paradigm shifts. Each time, these external shifts have been birthed by my own foundational spiritual shifts, significant inner transformations that made it possible for me to be a more powerful and transparent channel for love and wisdom, and, subsequently, to be able to actively transmit these healing energies to my students for the purpose of the upliftment of their vibration and the acceleration of their return to wholeness.

Now Im at a place in my life where I find myself with an abundance of harvested, ripe wisdom. This kind of authentic wisdom can only be born from a mysterious process of the alchemy between profound contemplation, deep mystical and personal experience, the passage of time, and the careful articulation of all of these.

Imagine an explorer who knows there is an amazing destination that will take them years to get to, years to explore, and then years to travel back from, but the promise of what they will find there is irresistible. They depart, and when they return, they arent the same. This is the exciting adventure Ive been onIve taken eight years away from writing to immerse myself in teaching and a serious deepening of my own journey. Out of this,
