As a teenager, my ambition was to be a scientist, which led to enrolling at Arizona State University to become a molecular biologist. However, contacts I had had throughout my childhood with the subtle worlds blossomed into a collaborative relationship with inner beings which resulted in my leaving the university in 1965 at the age of 20. I then began to pursue a career as a teacher and explorer of subtle and spiritual realms that I still pursue today, sixty years, many classes, and many books later.
During the Seventies and Eighties, I became a spokesperson for cultural changes and the New Age Movement. I lectured extensively throughout the United States and Canada and taught classes in new dimensions in governance,
community, and spirituality at the University of Wisconsin and Seattle University. I am a Lindisfarne Fellow. In the Nineties and up to the current time, my work with both my non-physical colleagues and my Lorian associates has led to the development of Incarnational Spirituality.
If there has been a theme running through my work all these years, it has been an affirmation and celebration of the spirituality of ordinary, everyday physical life and the fact that each of us is an expression of a sacred spirit. We have the opportunity to be co-creative partners with each other and with the Earth. This is the essence of Incarnational Spirituality, which it has been my joy to teach. Incarnation is not exile from a “true home” but an expansion of our spirit to embrace and engage the world and to contribute to its wholeness. Each of us has a capacity to bring Light into the world. We can each create moments of grace, of joy, of appreciation, of courage, and of love that all together make a difference in the world. I have dedicated my life and work to helping us remember that we are agents of Light who can bring blessing to the Earth.
Living in the Pacific Northwest, I am happily married to my wife, Julia, and together we have four adult children and two grandchildren.
