UNCOILING THE SERPENT: Kundalini & the Dynamics of Spiritual Maturity - Uncoiling the Serpent describes common sense understanding and practices that will allow our Kundalini to rise within us. It has been a long time coming to where we can see how our social programming has trapped us in the myopic bondage of the tangible world.

​

Almost all the metaphysical fields have aligned themselves to a simplified and commercially watered down presentation of their concepts, disciplines and principles simply to attract a wider audience for their distribution. This gathers audiences that are poorly educated and without any depth or understanding. Uncoiling the Serpent renews the depth of values, traditions and disciplines required for us to grow in our quest toward a truly higher and spiritually mature consciousness. 

   

Uncoiling the Serpent follows a process moving through each of the chakras describing what we will perceive, the type of energy we will be working with and the direction in which this energy should be focused in order to align us with the chakra’s energetic capabilities. Once these factors are understood and utilized we can then build a solid foundation at each chakra progressing up through the centers. This process will enable us to effectively use the energies and abilities of our senses, feelings and intuition toward achieving the best possible success in our spiritual growth and awareness. There are no angels to hear, no shamans to imitate and no gurus to find. Just plain down-to-earth thinking that aligns our lower mind with what must be done to properly unwind our coiled serpent. Paperback. 222 pages. ISBN# 978-1-7372493-8-2. $15.95.   Buy on Amazon

NUMEROLOGY: Life’s Mirror of Vibration - Everything, including us, vibrates. We all vibrate slightly differently and each frequency of vibration corresponds to a number. These numbers tell us who we are, what we can do, where we’ve been and what type of circumstances we will encounter in our future.

​

Yet, the numbers are incredibly accurate in how we perceive and feel about life. Of all the things that numerology can provide for us, a synthesis of the influences is the most important and the most challenging for us to recognize and comprehend. Most contemporary books simply give us a laundry list of individual calculations leaving us to integrate them in a mechanical fashion, like stacking blocks, consisting of our birth numbers and name qualities while offering us a simple sequence of timing for their occurrence. Numerology does have its rote and predictive potential, but what is more important is how we perceive and understand the subtle differences that it brings to our perceptions. This creates the biggest variation in how we make our choices.

​

“Run of the mill” numerologists normally just use our birth path, our soul urge, our quiet self, our full name and our personal years to map out who we are, where we’re going and what we should expect from our future. Yet, it’s the subtleties that give us the juice that characterizes our inner self. The more subtlety that we can see, the clearer becomes our life path and our understanding of our spirit and what it is attempting to teach us.  

​

Numerology: Life’s Mirror of Vibration takes the simplest influences and integrates them into a tightly synthesized interface offering a breakdown of our personality, our circumstances, our feelings and the actions that we are most likely to take. Below all of this, there is also an issue of accountability that we must come to understand and accept. Isn’t it more important that we use the influences that we’ve been given to understand and make our choices rather than feeling fated to have to follow what someone else has told us to do? Paperback. 126pgs.

ASTROLOGY 4 PURPOSE, POWER & PERSPECTIVE: A Primer for the Seven Rays & the Work of Alice Bailey - This is not a book about who you or your client are or what you can become. It is a book about how you can allow your spirit to express itself through you more easily. Michelangelo cut and chipped away at the marble to free the inhabitants he saw trapped within it. As humans we are essentially doing the same with our earthly existence.

​

Neophytes and seasoned astrologers often tell us that our Sun sign and chart tell us who we are and what our futures will be. As our automobile manual does not tell us how we will drive our car or what it will be used for, similarly, our Sun sign and birth chart only tell us what we must do in order to “run” more efficiently. Djwal Kuhl has told us through Alice Bailey what we must know to do this. 

​

Astrology 4 Purpose, Power & Perspective is a dual-purpose work. First, it lays out the fundamental concepts necessary for understanding the dynamic energies of the Seven Rays and, second, it includes a section delineating the application and effects of each ray as it applies to each sign and house axis.  

​

What is truly needed to promote a spiritual perspective is for us to be able to purge our overly tangible and often egotistical self-image of ourselves which seems to bypass the perception of most conventional astrologers. Then, we must recognize and integrate our own subtleties so we may adjust the direction of our path. This is necessary if we are to align ourselves properly in a unified spirit combining our physical, emotional and mental bodies toward actualizing this life’s lessons. Pbk. 299 pp. ISBN# 978-0986-436-482. $22.00. Buy on Amazon

TAROT: The Astrological Layout - Tarot: The Astrological Layout is a comprehensive guide for integrating astrology, tarot and numerology. It offers an innovative approach to utilizing the cards, the astrological houses, the signs and the vibrations of numbers to provide expanded detail allowing a much deeper look into the messages emerging from your cards.

​

All the cards are described in rich detail and applied to the twelve astrological houses in a wheel. The houses represent specific personal issues and circumstances particular to separate areas of life like relationships, finances, health, traditions, career and more. The cards give depth and color to these areas plus their connections to the astrological signs. The numbers give each of these twelve houses a wider picture and “flavor” further expanding your discrimination between the separate areas of life.  Each discipline in itself can open into a completely different set of symbols resonating with your inner knowledge and intuition.

​

By using the astrological layout circumstances and issues can be separated with clarity in ways that the Celtic Cross and other layouts can’t. Timing is easily established through the separate layers and any person in your client’s life can be found simply by moving to the house that they’re represented in and then simply reading the wheel for them as if they were a new client. Once you incorporate this method into your readings you will delight your clients and yourself with a plethora of practical and useful information while providing tremendous dimension and insight into your readings. Treat yourself to learning some astrology, numerology and the tarot all in one book! Paperback. 132 pages. ISBN# 978-0-9864364-4-4. $15.95.   Buy on Amazon

SIGNS & PORTENTS: A Reader’s Guide for Combining Psychic Tools - Psychic readers can use many types of tools. We can use the tarot, astrology, numerology, psychometry, I Ching and more. But very few readers use more than just one mode. Since using more than one requires learning a completely different discipline, many readers simply opt toward sticking with the one that they already know. Some readers, when faced with this option, depreciate the value of other modalities to make themselves feel better about the one they’re using. Others have respect and admiration for those who use more than one. What needs to be understood is that each modality is simply a different “language” used to present the universe in terms of vibration. How much more depth and insight might we gain for our client, and ourselves, by applying different perspectives? Each modality approaches issues from a different vantage point. Having studied many modalities over many years, I have taken what I consider to be the best parts of each and put them in a protocol that might be comfortable for you.

​

Signs & Portents provides us with a general familiarization with the tarot, numerology, and astrology and then puts them into a protocol with a logically progressive format allowing us to give a wide array of perspectives for our clients to see the options for their choices. Expand your horizons and theirs. Broaden your perspective. Give your client more than they bargained for. Learn the protocol or set up your own. New modalities combined with your own personal organization of them will bring you power, practicality and an unbeatable presentation for your clients. Paperback. 212 pages.

UNWINDING THE KARMIC WHEEL: The Journey from Survival to Compassion - Our life journey is profoundly affected by the intentions and directions of our parents and caretakers, often with seemingly catastrophic results. The career not taken, the marriage not consummated are only two choices colored by the emotional distortions we might have been trained into accepting and believing about ourselves. These conditions often come as a result of having unconditional faith and trust in the wisdom and the omniscience that we have attributed to our parents and caretakers in our formative years. But little did we know, this learned conditioning is merely “stage-setter” for the karmic perspectives that we need to align with in order that they propel us into the most growth-oriented type of journey through this life.

 

What if we are raised with love and acceptance for who we are not who we’re supposed to be? What if we can learn to recognize and disarm what might have led us to feel “toxic shame” and to create our “Shadow” which could then lead us to build our courage, self-worth and confidence in creating a fuller and more rewarding life? Then perhaps our life lessons might process and mature sooner and the peace we seek might manifest even earlier.

 

Unwinding the Karmic Wheel takes us on a journey from our first beginnings of life to spiritual maturity using our personal experience and simple observations of how we defensively react to life and the circumstances it presents us with. It explains the roles of the chakras, empathy, compassion, shame, the Shadow, the DSM and its diagnoses, gives us a level of awareness scale and presents us with many more of the tools needed to become emotionally and spiritually mature.

CYCLES: The Application of Energy Within the Natural Cycle - All of life and nature follows cycles. Day moves to night and then back to daytime. Life leads to death and then back to life. Spring leads to Summer, then to Fall, then to Winter and then back to Spring. All of this is observable, predictable and reliable. Humans are no different. We’re born, we grow, we fade and we die. We live within a myriad of cycles. But what we might not realize is that there are cycles within cycles within cycles. The key to our living bountifully and well is to recognize this and live within their natural structure by going with the flow.

​

In nature a river is a symbol of life. It moves following the natural laws of gravity and motion following the path of least resistance. When we are relaxed and allow the current to carry us, we follow the same pattern of travel. However, humans are not known for being relaxed and passive. Some of us will even be stupid enough to swim against the current. Life is exactly the same. Despite the fact that we feel the currents, we still create difficulties and wear ourselves out by swimming against the current because we don't understand the dynamics of how energies flow in their natural cycle. Utilizing the combination of Moon phases, Saturn transits, Uranus transits, the I Ching & Pagan holidays, Cycles will help you recognize the natural patterns of flow in our lives so we may foresee shifts and have a clearer understanding of how to prepare for what comes next.

IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF IT: Heaven, Hell & the Many Faces of Enlightenment & Ascension - When we come into this life, the limits of spiritual awareness that we have accomplished thus far become the directive force that pulls us into the next type of parental lineage that we need to work through. That new lineage provides the attitudes, loves, repulsions, abilities and disabilities needed for us to develop the perspective in this life that will drive us toward the direction of our needed karmic “finishings.” Whether we are aligned with its traditions or not, our newly perceived landscape provides the redefined momentum that encourages us toward choosing a specific career or lifestyle that fulfills our spiritual requirements for this life and eventually our potential Ascension.

​

With this indoctrination in place, now comes the awesome task of working our way back  toward the spiritual state we were in before any of our incarnations. When or if this occurs, we will be said to have become enlightened and accomplished in our spiritual Ascension.

​

In the World but Not Of It examines time honored disciplines and religions that show traditional patterns prescribed for our personal behavior. These will give us the understandings of how to release erroneous beliefs and over reactive emotional patterns that have led to our worldly entrapment. Included are explanations about energy dynamics, intuition, emotion, empathy and how each of the major religions view and utilize them. You will also learn how to avoid the many triggers and pitfalls that might send us further back into worldly bondage. Truly a practical manual for leading us back toward Enlightenment and Ascension.

PLOYS FOR DOMINANCE: A Guide for Recognizing & Disarming Manipulation - We’ve all had the occasion on knowing a person who seems to make us feel that it is our responsibility to take care of their concerns. They also seem to have a way of just getting under our skin and leaving us with the feeling that we’ve just been conned into doing what they should be taking care of themselves. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. Our reactions to these people let us know the level of our susceptibility to manipulators and con artists. Some of them are even members of our own family. However, we all have the ability to recognize their ploys and disarm their potential over us.   

​

They play their game by playing the aggressor, acting helpless or asserting that they are our best friend and only want what is best for us while making us feel guilty for not doing things their way. The manipulee, that’s us, can only be played through what we want; what we want to be, want to be seen as, what we want to have, what we want to avoid, essentially, through what we feel that we lack. The manipulator knows this and has a sixth sense on knowing what ploy they can use to get us to align with what they want. What is not known is that the manipulator also feels the same sense of insecurity that we might feel but is better at hiding and working around it through using their craftiness and aggression.

​

Ploys for Dominance teaches us to recognize their ploys in the moment. This is our primary challenge before we can do anything else. Then, our secondary challenge is learning to trust ourselves and learn how to respond so we can prevent ourselves from being “suckered” in. We all have everything we need to be and do what we want. We do this by simply turning off our susceptibility to them and to re-empower our own self-worth & confidence. Paperback. 159 pp. ISBN# 0-978-0986-436-437  $15.95.   Buy on Amazon

ENERGIZING SELF-TRUST: 7 Steps for Reclaiming Your Power - Although our Western civilization has produced a plethora of technical advances in science and computers, our emotional growth toward personal maturity and power has essentially been halted primarily by the disappearance of the traditional nuclear family. The support and encouragement that we once had from them has vanished, leaving in their wake a crisis in the development of our intimacy, personal autonomy, accountability, and with a feeling of not being “allowed” to trust our own judgment. We have been directed toward “experts” in every field of relationship prescribing for us how we must align with a “new normal.” Included in this “new” programming is for us to accept that everything of value must come from outside ourselves. In allowing this to happen we have lost the ability to hear our own hearts. I’ve written Energizing Self-Trust to provide a method for us to again align ourselves with our own heart and spirit.

​

Energizing Self-Trust brings us back to acknowledging our own counsel and judgment in relating to others and making life decisions. Its process is easy to follow and quickly brings us back to listening to our own heart’s messages through renewed creativity and an increased zest for life through a series of seven simple steps utilizing self-observations and making small changes in how we present ourselves to the world. These steps form an alternate path for revitalizing our most personal desires and ambitions without the fear of receiving any undeserved shame, intimidation or “cancel culture” ostracizing us in the newly formed and collectively oriented social institutions currently in play.

​

Energizing Self-Trust will help you to regenerate your self-worth through regaining any of the self-trust or confidence that you might have lost through a dysfunctional family upbringing.  By using these simple steps, you can replace undesirable and inertia-bound emotional patterns with new experiences and new self-assessments that will make your motivation and ability come alive with a new feeling of freedom and consistency.

OUT OF THE BOX: 7 Elements for Raising a Self-Directing Child - We all feel proud and complemented when our children come to us for advice. But how much should they depend on us and how much of their decision-making process should be a result of their own experience and thinking? And if they don’t come to us, where else will they go? Their peers? The media? Their teachers? Their pastor? Odds are, all these different sources will have different ideas and a vested interest in what they should or shouldn’t do. Is there truly a right and wrong way to do things? Can we really know what’s best for our children in the long run? Probably not. Their lessons will be different than ours.

​

Our culture tells us that we should think for ourselves, yet it tends to ostracize those who don’t align with the opinion of their clan or social group. In our aligning, we tend toward training our children to seek advice and permission for all important decisions from us and the authorities we respect and honor. Granted, we want our children to live in harmony and follow the laws and rules that keep things running smoothly. But to what extent is it healthy to follow only what has been prescribed by our culture? At what point does it begin to block or interfere with their creativity and their ability to be self-sustaining?

​

If we want to guide them, yet leave their spirits unfettered, we must, at some point, cut their apron strings and support them in surpassing what we have become and accomplished. We do this by encouraging them to think for themselves, listen to their feelings and to be patient while they put things in motion.

​

Too often we so much want our children to be successful but chain them to the ways and methods that we have used to arrive at our own current position in life, which is often not where we want them to be. We want them to avoid the mistakes that we have made yet we emphasize the methods that we have used to arrive there ourselves. The fight between our inner honesty and need for control is tremendous and often buried deep within our unconscious. It’s hard for us to let them defer to their own judgment.

​

Rather than prevention, we can use words of encouragement designed to help them listen to their own heart and counsel instead of the “constructive criticisms” that so often cripple and hobble their spirit. Out of the Box gives us the tools to enable our children to do just that. It also gives us, their parents, the steps to take to help us with our insecurity in letting them go. Paperback. 122 pages.

SELF-WORTH: Its Origins, Faces & Remedies - It is said by our culture that we should be independent, autonomous and innovative. Yet, that same culture trains us, from the cradle to the grave, to belong, to seek the approval of others, to be subservient, and to put others’ needs before our own. Why is there such a disconnect? Why do we always end up shooting ourselves in the foot when we attempt to make our lives simpler and more creative?

​

There are many sources in our lives that propose what rules, values and perspectives we should use in pursuing the personal goals we set. The family expects fidelity to its needs and secrets. Our culture expects us to live within boundaries that “give back” what it has provided us and our rulers require us to trust them to decide what is best for us. Every person and group wants something different. We often get stuck between what one group requires of us differing from other groups and their requirements. Many conditions contradict one another. How is it that we have fallen into appeasing so many different social institutions and their dictates?   

 

It's because we have been trained to trust the outer world’s values and judgments over our own. This takes the assessment of our self-worth out of our hands and makes it subservient to the wants and needs of others. Self-Worth: Origins, Faces & Remedies will help us change this by teaching us how and where this occurs and awakens the tools within us to bring back our self-worth to the point where it is back under our own judgment & discretion.

CORE VALUES: Recognizing & Surviving the Global Assault on Our Personal Autonomy - It is NOT your imagination. Since January 2021 our values, personal autonomy, family structure, gender identity, educational choice and social standards have been undergoing a stepped-up social and political assault by the global initiative. Through purposeful manipulative social programming and political mandates our freedoms and our traditional ways of life have been rapidly being chiseled away. The agenda has been to replace our sense of “normalcy” with an indoctrinated and subjugated mindset geared toward eliminating any sense of individualism, pride, merit and the pursuit of excellence which have been the traditional hall marks of our great nation. How could this have happened to such a thriving nation? What evil force has been so bent on making us fearful, insecure, out of control and chaotic by directing us to abandon all of our traditions and our Core Values?

​

This work examines the trends and currents that have devolved our child-rearing practices, augmented the collapse of the family, removed our true history from our schools, exposed our children to pornography and its perversions, created gender confusion and made those who support God essentially an enemy of the state. Can we survive the onslaught? Find out exactly what we’ve been dealing with and how we can put ourselves back on a traditional path supporting the primary Core Values that have made us such a powerful and desirable nation to call home.
