For those who become offended by what I am about to say, this discourse is NOT for you! Like all of my work it is meant ONLY for the Seeker. It is meant ONLY for That Rare One. I have never agreed to take on a single client without interviewing him or learning deeply about […]

  A long time ago, in an ancient village of Northern India, the King declared a competition to see who was the wisest man in the land. Scores of men were sent into the streets in order to gather the wisest men who roamed the lands. Three men were brought back to the King. The […]

  Humanity does not live in the real world. It lives in the world of MIND. It lives in the world of THOUGHT. Understand what I am about to say. And understand it clearly. For it is not a sleight against humanity. It is simply the unadulterated truth: MAN IS A SCHIZOPHRENIC. His existence is […]
