It also led to the fundamental discovery that these were psychological states that had been identified and adopted for thousands of years by many cultures and belief systems.

Featured Books

The Finders (non-fiction)

#1 Amazon Bestseller in Transpersonal Psychology, and many other categories.

Unless you’re a Finder, there is no way for you to even begin to imagine how much better your life can be.

The average person lives with an experience of the world that is rooted in fear, worry, and anxiety. The most common way this manifests is in a persistent sense of discontentment. Something just doesn’t feel quite right.

That something is usually hard to put a finger on. It’s often just a feeling that haunts us in the background, one that leads to endless soul searching and goal striving. Although it can disappear when a desire is achieved, or a piece of our life that was believed to be missing falls into place, ultimately the relief is only temporary. Before long, the background feeling that something is not okay returns and the search begins anew.

You may be surprised to learn that life doesn’t have to be this way. Since 2006, our global scientific research project has been on the trail of the tiny fraction of the population that seems to have escaped this fate. We found thousands of them, and what we learned has been nothing short of astonishing. It will revolutionize your life for the better, if you’ll let it.

The Fourth Awakening (fiction)

#1 Amazon Bestseller in Mysticism for 4+ years straight, as well as many other categories.

Awakenings occur when something so profoundly changes the world that all of the old rules no longer apply. A powerful new order arrives, completely unexpected and without warning, and things are never the same again. Today, humanity stands on the cusp of the Fourth Awakening.

The First Awakening occurred approximately 200,000 years ago when Homo Sapiens emerged in East Africa, but it took another 150,000 years for things to begin to get interesting. The Second Awakening saw the emergence of spoken language, early shamans, and great myths. During it, humanity began to perceive the future and past in new ways that enabled planning. This allowed us to begin to plant crops and keep livestock, which in turn allowed for larger fixed population centers.

The Third Awakening began around 3,000 years ago. It saw the rise of all modern religions, as well as science. Between 800 BC and 400 BC, there was a religious explosion. The key events in the Old Testament occurred, from which emerged Judeo/Christian beliefs. At the same time Taoism was being followed by Confucianism in China. The same was happening with Shintoism in Japan, and Hinduism and Buddhism in India, and later Islam.

The Fourth Awakening is just beginning. This is the one you get to participate in (whether you like it or not). The Fourth Awakening brings a new mode of being with it. Glimpses of it have been written about for thousands of years. Are you ready?
