JD Messinger is the author of 11 Days in May: The Conversation That Will Change Your Life (Waterfront Digital Press), the story of a spiritual transformation that started after a second near-death experience. JD is also a former CEO of Ernst & Young Consulting, Singapore, one of 37 Distinguished Graduates from the United States Naval Academy, a former nuclear submarine officer; and the Exxon executive who helped supervise the Valdez oil spill cleanup. I recently had the chance to interview him about his professional background, near death experience and why he wrote 11 DAYS IN MAY.

In his book Messinger reveals insights generated for business, politics and life. Among the revelations he shares is how our inner Spiritual Warrior can lead us to a deep understanding of our true inner selves, which will enhance and promote inspired leadership and true corporate transformation. In a dialogue with an unseen being he explores some of the deepest questions mankind has asked throughout human history, including: Who am I, Why am I here, What is a Thought, What are Intentions, What is Matter, Time, Love, War, Sex, Death and Souls.

During our interview, JD also shared with me some practical advice on how to let go of the need to control everything in life, how to manage difficult emotions such as anger and depression; and specific techniques for moving out of our head so we can live from our heart.

By Joylina Goodings

No individual is here on Earth by accident, neither are we ever really alone – even in our darkest hours we are only a single thought or intention away from guidance and help. Spiritual life coach, author and angel expert Joylina Goodings explains what the angels’ influence has in store for us, and how to achieve our highest potential and inner peace in her best-seller Your Angel Journey…

All our journeys have a beginning and an end. What we do in the interim is what matters – that is what constitutes our life. And everything we encounter in this life is resonating, vibrating according to the frequency of its creation. The lower the vibration the more dense, solid and visible the matter becomes. We are created as solid beings but within us is a much higher vibration. Some call it our Life Force, Essence or Soul and this is what contains all or creative potential, emotional spectrum and capacity for both incredibly loving and spectacular actions as well as immeasurable destruction. The fundamental aim of this journey is to make the most of our ‘light-bulb’ moments and minimise the number of times we feel left in the dark.

We cannot necessarily choose everything that happens to us (like redundancy, divorce or acts of violence) but we can choose how we move on and what we learn from the experience. This is where higher vibrational beings/energies such as Angels, Spirit Guides and even visions of the departed can help. Angels have been around for as long as we can recall acting as messengers between the ‘Power House‘ or Divine Creation and humanity, with the oldest recorded angel rock-art dating back over 10,000 years. They have proved to be popular as they have a majestic, yet human form and feature in many religious teachings so their concept is not alien to most people.

Angels are here to help realise the very best in ourselves and as we connect with their energy life begins to unfold in more beautiful ways that increase our appetite for living. We begin to notice the signs of their presence whether it is in the form of the random appearance of white feathers, magazine articles touching us at opportune times, messages in music or just helpful people coming into our life. Whatever the sign all we need to do is notice, trust and act. All our fears and worries can be lifted from our shoulders when we invite the angels in to help us on our journey. We all start at birth and end at death but what we do and experience in between is what informs our way of thinking and being. And there is no reason why we should not choose joy over pain, success over failure or happiness over sorrow.

The beauty of connecting with Angels is that we need to ‘know’ very little about them. Though much is written about individuals, hierarchies, explicit powers and roles, when it comes down to it all that matters is that we remain honest and open. We need to think more about the type of guidance/assistance we need and the type or ‘quality’ of energy would help. We needn’t worry about the ‘how’ – the angels will take care of that. We can be as specific and practical as we wish – we can ask for the perfect relationship, a car, a new house, new job etc.  What we must consider above all though is what we want to experience with this new relationship, car, house, and job, like joy, happiness, love, security etc., because it’s the qualities we experience now that make all the difference rather than how such things came about.

Your Angel Journey acts not only as a source of great inspiration and reassurance but also like an instruction manual to ensure you receive all the guidance you need to make the most of your life. It sensitises you to the vibrations all about us. This is not superstition. It is increasing your awareness of how subtle energies interact in the ebb and flow of life, how we can prevent our own energy reserves becoming depleted and tap into the vast supply from the cosmos, after all it is our place of origin.

This is a guest post written by Colette Brown, author of Maybe The Universe Just Isn’t That Into You! Spiritual Responsibility in a Fluffy Bunny World.

I am fed up! I could SCREAM! I am demented! Why? Once again I have heard a fluffy bunny excuse as to why things have gone wrong for a person who should know better. It has been a busy week for folk using spiritual excuses for their own bad decisions! Another ‘it was a lesson from the universe for me’! Another ‘Spirit is taking me in a new direction and I MUST follow’! Another ‘My soul lesson was to walk away’!

Why have we given up on personal responsibility? Why can’t we just say we made a bad decision and it is haunting us? Or we really WANT to do something? Or that you really need a new direction in life so are just going to go out there and make it happen? Or that a relationship was bad and you found the courage to walk?

Why in recent years do we see the trend to use ‘Spirit/ God/ Universe’ as an excuse for our own failings or disastrous decisions? What has happened to personal responsibility? Free will? Human error? Risk? And when decisions DO actually work out, how many people actually then give full credit to the Universe? No: then it is all about their own hard work, effort and brilliant ideas. This isn’t healthy. This isn’t the way of the spiritually evolved. This is just the following of new dogmas in place of old. A spiritual sheep in wolves clothing.

Let me first say a little about myself. I consider myself a spiritual person. I try to walk my talk every day. I follow a shamanic path and try to live in beauty, balance and harmony. Some days I am good at this; others, I am not. But I don’t blame the bad days on soul lessons, faulty angel cards, God/Universe/ Spirit. I put blame where blame, if any, is fair. On me! Maybe I simply had a bad day; I was nasty to my husband; I had far too much wine and became too bolshy! I made a decision in haste and now regret it. I chose to over spend, over eat, etc etc… I have had a business that failed and it failed because I went against what my intuition and a damn accurate tarot reading suggested.

My fault…and I won’t do it again. You could say that was my lesson? Well, it was a costly one and one which was more about my free will and dodgy decision making than any lesson I needed to learn at the time. You see…I am prepared to take responsibility for my actions and not blame the Universe for things that are within my own control. There may be things that are fated to happen to us in life that are part of some sort of greater plan. We have no control over Fate. I believe that these fated events then allow us to show the power of our free will, destiny choices and spiritual evolution. It is in these circumstances that we can rise or fall. It is our choice, and blaming a bad choice on anything other than ourselves is just so disrespectful and even downright delusional.

So, you have seen the books of spiritual affirmations that make every day wonderful and full of fluffy bunny rainbows. You have heard the sound bites and sayings from the gurus. This book (Maybe The Universe Just Isn’t That Into You!) is full of spiritual myths debunked, quasi affirmations torn apart, gurus put in their place and arrogant experts exposed. It has offerings to help you live a spiritual life in a human body! Take responsibility for your own life. Don’t let anyone woo you with facile compliments. You are not a perfect divinity in a rose coloured aura. You are simply YOU! You are a soul journeying in a very amazing human container. Isn’t that enough?

So, here are your ‘thoughts for the day’, guru words of wisdom and silly sound bites turned on their heads. After reading them, you will be ready to take control of your own destiny and accept the universe as your co-pilot. I hope you laugh. I hope you recognise yourself in some (I did) and can join me in standing up and being counted as spiritual humans evolved enough to take responsibility for our own personal actions. This is not aimed at those who have been severely traumatised, abused, disabled or ill in any way. It is for those of us who have accrued so called spiritual crutches and have begun to live life based on clichés and platitudes. We can all be guilty of this. I have been and sometimes, I still am. I am trying to walk with some sort of balanced outlook though and hope you are too.

So it is time to recognise this and cleanse ourselves from the addiction to sound bites, words of wisdom and daily internet aspirations. Detox your spirit and feel free. The answers lie within yourself. Be your own guru!

Maybe the Universe Just Isn’t That Into You! – Spiritual Responsibility in a Fluffy Bunny World By Colette Brown

You have read the little books of affirmations, done the daily angel/oracle/astrological inspiration thing? Fine…me too! But it has all gone too far. We now have a great swathe of spiritual people who are giving up personal responsibilty for their actions and claiming that simple bad decisions are the work of Spirit/God/Universe. It has to stop. Everything is a ‘lesson’ or a ‘gift’. So here is the book that debunks the usual suspects. It shows up what is simply a lack of strength and character when things go so wrong that ‘Spirit told me to do it’ is simply an excuse for someone looking to avoid facing the truth in their own life. Yes…it’s an angry and non-subtle book. It is needed in an ocean of fluffy-bunny rainbows. It is time for the pendulum to swing the other way.

Menopause: a Natural and Spiritual Journey 

Weegie Tarot 

Excerpt from The Case Against Atheism By Mike Dobbins.

Should a supernatural event take place, material science, according to its doctrine, would fruitlessly strive to explain the event by natural, material means. It may state that it doesn’t know, but it will not concede that a supernatural event occurred. The entire premise of material science is that all explanations are material, even those claiming to be immaterial. As Smithsonian Institution paleobiologist Douglas Erwin so poignantly stated “One of the rules of science is, no miracles allowed.”

Accordingly, scientists would have reacted swiftly and vehemently to the claim that Jesus Christ was resurrected. If scientists had thrived at the time of Christ they would have immediately started making material hypothesis as to how Jesus rose from the dead: he was in a coma, he consumed something to make his heart beat slow and make it look like he was dead, they revived him and hid him for three days, etc.

The material scientist wouldn’t accept any of these hypotheses, unless there was compelling evidence for one, but they also wouldn’t accept a supernatural explanation. As a scientist who believes in materialism, it is in their nature to look for material answers only.

Rather than admit they don’t know the answer as a scientists would, an atheist will *adopt *the numerous alternative explanations provided and claim these explanations explain the supernatural event. Never mind that the explanation has *no* evidence to support it, the *existence* of the alternative explanation is evidence enough for the atheist. This is what many atheists refer to as skepticism, or being a skeptic.

I’d like to state unequivocally that skepticism has its place in science and in supernatural claims. Skepticism was in dire need when science was advocating and ‘proving’ eugenics. Skepticism was in dire need when David Koresh declared himself a prophet. Skepticism has its place in debunking scam artists, astrology, and countless other questionable claims. It also has its place when reading the works of today’s pop-atheist writers. However, many atheists have distorted the word skeptic to their own ends, which are not those of traditional skepticism.

Atheists lose their credibility as skeptics when they *skip* the evidence part and instead simply draw a conclusion based on the alternative explanation. Not only is this not scientific, it is perverting the true meaning of skepticism. To the outside observer, it appears as if atheists only use skepticism as a way to *rationalize* *away* something that is difficult to fit into their worldview. Perverted skepticism is a tool used to maintain their faith and not have to entertain or accept ideas that challenge their beliefs. Atheists are giving skepticism a bad name and making atheists look desperate.

Even the founder of The Skeptic Society, atheist (though he doesn’t always label himself such) Michael Shermer confessed as much when he wrote “I am occasionally accused of being skeptical of the wrong things, or being too skeptical for my own good. Sometimes I’m even charged with denialism – I don’t want X to be true, therefore, I unfairly find reasons to reject X. That is undoubtedly sometimes the case.”

Instead of a confirmation bias, which atheists regularly accuse of scientists who show evidence for the supernatural, the atheist has an *anti-confirmation* bias. They are biased towards not accepting evidence that a supernatural claim may be valid. They are in *denial* that the belief system they’ve adopted could be wrong.

It’s one thing to call yourself a skeptic, it is another to apply skepticism properly, rationally, and scientifically. It’s one thing to call yourself a free-thinker, it’s another to actually be one. Yet, atheists continually assert skepticism in the face of evidence that contradicts their belief, often without evidence of their own. Those who dismiss serious evidence pertaining to questions of significant consequence with inventions that have no evidence are treating you like a child, and don’t warrant a seat at the adult table.

This post is an excerpt from : The Case Against Atheism By Mike Dobbins

This post is an excerpt from Letters Across Time, written by Stephen Chong.

The old grand master was lying in his bed, almost near death. He struggled for breath and his every movement seemed to take an effort that led him further towards his end. There was much lamenting, for gathered around him were the many acolytes and monks that had been in his service for several years. Their tears flowed freely while lamentations and chants resounded clearly from the main assembly area and numerous other halls within the abbey; all came from those who did not have access to the grand master’s chambers.

Of a sudden and completely without warning, the grand master raised his head from the pillow. It was as if some magical essence had filled his ailing body with such strength that he could master that feat.

‘Go and fetch me the young novice, Michael,’ was his tremulous command.

‘But grand master,’ said his principal assistant, ‘he is but a first-year novice. He has been with the abbey only a few weeks. You are surrounded here by your monks and initiates.’

‘Do as I say,’ was the stern command. ‘Quickly! Make haste, there is not much time.’

So a messenger was dispatched to retrieve the young novice from his dormitory.

Some minutes later, and somewhat out of breath, the young novice was ushered into the chamber in which the grand master lay. He was no more than ten years old and still had not undergone any of the rigorous training in the austerities that define the life of a monk.

‘Come, come to me young minion. I must speak with you. Come over here by my side.’

The novice took tentative steps towards the ailing master and knelt by his bedside in awe of his power and wisdom.

‘Raise yourself, young man. I have not the strength to bend down to look at you.’

Then the master held out his frail hand for the novice to take.

‘Come, take my hand.’

The novice did so, but the quizzical look upon his countenance was enough to assure the assembled acolytes that this situation was completely without plan or design.

Then, in wavering voice, the grand master said, ‘Young novice, what is the meaning of life?’

At these words the novice looked aghast at the grand master, then said, ‘But master this surely is a question for your monks, not a novice like myself.’

‘Yes, yes, I know, but I want you to tell me.’

‘Well master,’ said the novice, ‘I am a child of God. It is by His grace that I have this life, but it was my choice that I chose this life. I chose this body and this life so I could best realize my true self.’

‘And, young novice, what of your life so far, how has it been?’

‘Master, my life so far has not been without trial. I have experienced some pain, but I have also experienced much happiness.’

‘And for what reason do you think that you have had these painful and pleasurable experiences?’

‘Well master, I guess it is because through these experiences I can realize my pathway to God.’

‘Thank you, thank you, young man,’ said the grand master softly to the novice, ‘you will make a great master one day.’

Then, he addressed all who were assembled to hear his words.

‘Listen well to the words of this young novice, for these are the words of innocence, untainted by a longing for redemption. He knows not the fear of death, yet he speaks the words that define our life. Harken to his words I say, and let none here deny their veracity. For truly, it is the young and the innocent who hold the key to the most profound questions about the meaning of life.’

At these words the grand master closed his eyes, and —with the most beautiful expression on his face – passed on to the next realm.

About Stephen Chong:

Stephen Chong M.Ed. is a highly sought after personal development coach, keynote speaker and author. Over the past 25 years he has provided guidance and motivation to countless people through his inspirational messages and ability to bring the best out in people. Stephen’s wise observations of modern work and personal life will give you insight how to realise your highest potential through a rich and fulfilling life.

Below is a Q&A with Joseph Sutton, author of The YEARS the Giants Won the Series: A Fan’s Journal of the 2012 and 2010 World Series Seasons.  Drawn from his personal journal, Joseph Sutton’s observations of the San Francisco Giants’ climb to win two World Series will remind you over and over again how a bunch of ragtag ballplayers in 2010 and a band of young ballplayers in 2012 became champions of the world against all odds. Interspersed with comments from his notes of twenty years ago as Little League coach for his young son Ray’s teams, Sutton enhances the importance that baseball plays in cementing relationships between fathers and sons, and some daughters too…

1.  How do you think sports can bring parents closer to their kids?

Coaching my son brought both thrills and frustration. Thrills when he made winning hits, great plays in the field or when he stole a base.  Frustration when he got down on himself or was mired in a bad slump.  That’s when I learned that I had to be more patient with him.  The memory of going through the hard times and good times together will always be with us.  Even though my son is now 32, we still reminisce about those days.

 2.  Can watching the ups and downs of baseball help parents guide their children?

Baseball can teach children that there are good days and bad, glorious times and bumps in the road, and that sometimes things don’t go the way you want.  Baseball, to me, is such a great symbol of life itself.

3.  Does the concept of teamwork help in parents’ relationship with their children?

Teamwork is so important in sports, and especially at home with the family.  Teamwork is sharing the workload and supporting each other.  Teamwork makes for a happy team and a happy family.

 4.  You wrote that it takes “talent, fortitude, determination, perseverance, and luck to reach the majors.”  Do you believe it takes the same to be a good parent?

By all means it takes all those qualities to be a good parent.  I would add another word to that list:  PATIENCE.  Sometimes I was impatient with my son.  Although a parent’s poor judgment can’t change the past, he or she can surely learn from it.

5.  As a former college athlete, what do you think is the biggest challenge to success?

The biggest challenge is having confidence in your athletic ability.  If you do well your confidence rises, helping you to succeed. If you don’t do well, you lose confidence and get splinters sitting on the bench.  I’ve experienced both!

 6.  Named as one of the top 10 baseball movies of all time by Baseball America, how do you think “Field of Dreams” shows how baseball bonds Fathers and Sons?

There’s a famous line in the movie that Kevin Costner’s character, Ray Kinsella, an Iowa corn farmer, keeps hearing—“If you build it, he will come.”  It took Costner the whole movie to find out that if he built a baseball field next to his cornfield, it would bring his father back in his life.  Baseball is symbolic of how fathers and sons, fathers and daughters, can connect and bond with each other.

 7.  Of all of the feedback your writing has received, including from a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, what are the highlights of your writing career?

The Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner was William Saroyan.  I met and talked to him twice before he passed away in 1981.  He was my mentor.  There were many times I doubted whether I should keep writing because of all the rejections I received.  For some crazy reason I never gave up, and finally, it paid off.  Also, in my wildest dreams, I never thought I’d publish ten books.

8.  How did teaching in South Central L.A. impact your latest book?

That was my first and most memorable teaching experience. Coaching my son and his teammates became an extension of teaching.  I’m a teacher at heart.  A teacher wants to help his students gain self-confidence and knowledge about the world in general.

9.  It took 20 years to get your first book published.  What did you learn from that?

 I learned never to give up on something that I loved to do.  My advice to other writers is this:  If you have a passion to write, no matter how gloomy things might seem to you, something will come of your writing if you keep at it, if you keep persevering.

10.  Out of all the books you have written, which is one of your favorites? 

 My favorite book is probably my first published novel:  Morning Pages: The Almost True Story of My Life.  It’s about a writer trying to break out of a writer’s block and little does he know he’s broken out of his block and is writing a novel.  Writing Morning Pages was a revelation to me in that it didn’t take me as long to write and wasn’t as tortuous to write as my first three fiction books.  Ever since, I’ve become more confident in my writing ability.  Confidence, whether in sports or writing, is so important to have.

11.  Have you already figured out what your next book will be?

I’m almost finished with two books.  One is a collection of short stories.  The second details my experience of losing 50 pounds.  It’ll be a thin book about my becoming thin.

12.  Besides helping readers relive the highlights of The Giants champion years, what is the main message you’d like people to take away from your book?

The Giants realized that there was no “I” in team in those two winning seasons, and that a team working together is more important than individual statistics, agendas and egos.  Another important element to their success was their “never-say-die” attitude.

My message for including my baseball relationship with my son is to show how baseball can cement relationships between fathers and sons, and daughters, too.  I also wanted to show how America’s favorite pastime brings generations closer together.

This post is a guest article written by Stephanie J King, author of Divine Guidance.

What is truth, until it is recognised and fully lived? What is the point of life without the knowledge and understanding through experience that goes with it? Author, healer, channel and Soulpreneur™ Stephanie J King reveals the answers you need to make miracles in her latest book/divination tool Divine Guidance.

Nothing ever happens of its own accord without a reason. Everything has a purpose and a function. Every want, desire, and need is birthed at some point by someone; begins somewhere. This synchronisation of live events is necessary to create the fertile setting for any miracle to take place. What we see occurring on the surface is often just a fragment of an unfolding saga and even though we operate as separate, free-thinking individuals, we still continue to invent and interlink with the planet’s own intelligence – the creative life force that’s working with and through us. If we had the gift of hindsight, we would be more equipped to know exactly what was called for bringing about little miracles every day and pay life forward. Divine Guidance brings these little miracles back into conscious alignment, in a way that helps Earth’s own thriving, intelligent, creative life force work with you.

While still in the realms of Spirit, before our time of birth, we had a life plan. We saw how life would be on Earth today. We knew what we would accomplish, our talents, gifts and strengths, we knew our weaknesses and our downfalls, what we’d contribute, would encounter and could change. We worked out a plan of action and we teamed with others along the way. Once incarnated everyone is aware of their thoughts, what they see, feel, want and need, but few remember their blazing talents to know their ‘soul agenda’, to see karma working out and to read the underlying factors that drive life and other people. If we could be a little more open with intentions, thoughts and feelings, others would read us better and life would flourish. But often we are guarded, our mind is busy somewhere else. We project our inner world through expectation and presumption onto things that are unfolding around us. We colour and misinterpret much of what we witness (hear, think, feel or see). We misread simple signs and signals and often alter, change and colour those we send out ourselves.

Divine Guidance reminds you that your life is not by accident, but personal choice. It is the road map of the incarnate journey your soul is travelling. You can chop and change direction, rethink, re-choose, delay and alter all you wish, for you play the leading character role in your own life story. Nothing sits beyond your capability to achieve. You have the power and vital life force of this planet running through you, helping you to succeed and spurring you on. Nothing is set in stone before you personally make it so; in fact the, future is as pliable as plastic. It can shape shift, flex and change. It actually alters all the time, for every moment contains possibilities yet untapped. You are the activator of what is now and what will be, so it naturally falls to you to do this well. Divine Guidance will take you by the hand to steer you through your situation no matter what. A clear channel of communication, support and advice to help you achieve the best outcome at any moment, is ultimately what it offers.

We work and link with life on many intricate levels, but only focus and act upon whatever occurs within the scope of present attention. Yet attention wanders frequently; it dwells on future and past, it’s prone to wander when bored or faced with repetition, worry or stress. Very rarely is it functioning and fully present here and now, plus what we take on board can sometimes belong to others with whom we mix. Understanding the bigger picture always offers an advantage to the situation or live task that’s playing out. This book demonstrates that you are a working channel for life to flow both to and from. In an ideal world all aspects work together in harmony and in sync for you have life’s Source and creativity at your disposal.

Most of us who are trying to change our lives — or the world — are trying to evolve and awaken our best selves. Yet we all have something in common — a big part of us doesn’t want to go there with us.

If you’ve met with this struggle on your spiritual or personal growth journey, you’re not alone — we’ve all got this resistance. It’s often been called the “ego” — a pervasive part of our human nature left over from the early evolution of our ancient animal past.

It’s practically wired into us — and since it evolved for survival, it’s averse to change in a whole host of ways that take our lives and our spiritual growth off course.

Most of the ego’s impulses have not only outlived their usefulness — they’re antithetical to the higher flourishing we know is possible. They don’t match up with today’s world and our highest aspirations.

Most spiritual and psychological experts agree that the ego is the single greatest obstacle to our higher evolution, personally and culturally. Click HERE to register.

And despite a certain amount of progress, we haven’t yet fully evolved beyond this primitive “conditioning” that has eons of momentum behind it.

But a new discovery now makes it possible for us to do just that. And evolutionary pioneer Craig Hamilton will share how in his upcoming free online seminar The Key to Evolving Beyond Ego, taking place this June 13.

Craig has developed a specific breakthrough to take us far beyond this persistent barrier once and for all. And you can learn all about it in this powerful global gathering.

Craig Hamilton is the founder of Integral Enlightenment and a pioneer in the field of evolutionary spirituality. He’s been studying for decades how to get all the way past this outdated, egoic block that obstructs the fullest expression of our exceptional human potential.

He’s discovered another part of the self that’s capable of radically transcending and evolving beyond the ego, without any need to make the ego “disappear.” And he’s designed a precise process that allows us to align with it and live life from its perspective.

We can actually take the ego of the driver’s seat and render it inert. And Craig’s going to reveal the key to this remarkable, proven process in his June 13 seminar offered at no charge.

You’ll find out what stops us from embodying the ultimate shift we need to make, AND the specific step that can catapult us beyond this tenacious obstacle — for good.

You’ll learn groundbreaking news about a discovery that changes the whole spiritual-growth landscape — the key to a giant leap beyond this obsolete, unproductive part of us that’s left over from our ancient past.

In The Key To Evolving Beyond Ego, Craig will illuminate the catalytic process that has helped thousands of people around the world activate a powerful aspect of our nature that takes us beyond our egoic limitations — for good.

Craig offers only a few public seminars each year to share the newest insights and discoveries from his work in evolutionary spirituality. In the last year, his public addresses have drawn over 100,000 people!

And with good reason — Craig has become one of the world’s most sought-after evolutionary leaders and visionary teachers. Over 5,000 people in more than 50 countries have now graduated from his life-changing courses.

Barbara Marx Hubbard recently wrote:

“If I had to pick one teacher to take a deep dive with around conscious evolution, it would be Craig Hamilton. To be one of his students in depth is a great privilege.”
