My Story

Why I can say with absolute certainty that dramatic improvement in any and all issues you may be facing can be a very realistic expectation.

I know for certain that we human beings are far more powerful than we, or conventional wisdom, suppose we are. We can create awesome healing and tremendous positive change in our body, mind and life. I know because I have done this myself. The simple evidence is that I was completely blinded in an accident, told that I would never see again, and now I can see. My story was featured in a Buffalo News article and Gannet Westchester Newspaper article.

Ever since I was a child everyone said I would one day be a great artist. I could draw and reproduce exactly anything and anyone I could see. My future career was assured, and until the age of fifteen, I and everyone I knew was excited about my becoming rich and famous one day as a result of this talent and skill.

Then I had a commission to paint three very large exterior business signs in the middle of winter when I was fifteen. Issues within my dysfunctional family forced me to paint these signs in the same room where I slept. Over a period of the three weeks it took to paint the signs with exterior enamel paints and solvents, I breathed and slept in that room for more than sixteen hours a day. Though I complained of dizziness, my parents ignored requests to take me to a doctor and urged me to finish what I had pledged to do as quickly as possible.

Back then there was little if any concrete evidence for the terrible toxicity of those materials. Eventually though, I became more and more ill. I was complaining of illness so severe after the job was done that my parents finally took me to the hospital emergency room. But by then it was too late. The doctors said the effects of the toxins were so great that my optic nerves were dead. I was told I would never regain my vision because when nerves died, they never came back. There was no real treatment they could offer, and so they simply arranged a few weeks of monitoring in the clinic to make sure no further brain or nerve damage would ensue.

This diagnosis was intolerable and unacceptable to me. Although the well-intentioned doctors, my family and friends all urged me to accept my fate, I could not. My previously voracious readings in religion, metaphysics, and the sciences, my highly imaginative and artistic nature, and my high motivation combined with the understandable rage and fury at this ignominious fate focused my mind and all my energies to proving the doctors wrong. More importantly, my early experiences with my religious heritage which emphasized the love and fogiveness of Christ provided a spiritual vehicle which prepared me to embrace the fact that everything was possible with God.

My creative mind explored every avenue and facet of external self-induced physical healing and internal mental, spiritual and emotional healing, from meditation through visualization to deep prayer, exercise and nutrition. My drive to see again consumed all my attention. Yet the realization that healing could not be forced by the tremendous power of my will alone revealed the need for me to surrender my pain and suffering to a higher force and embrace forgiveness of myself and my family for past failures and mistakes.

Indeed, much more than this was taking place on a wide range of internal levels of awareness, and though progress was excruciatingly slow, it came. All of the efforts I’ve described and more began to show results. I began to heal. Within three months I could discern shapes and figures, reading accurately the number of fingers that doctors held out at the edges of my visual field when I was examined at the clinic.

Soon enough, I could make out larger and larger portions of the visual world around me. Within a year I could see so well that the doctors swore their original tests had to be wrong, and the obvious healing and vision I presented had to have been simply the results of an original earlier misdiagnosis of optic nerve atrophy on their part. They were so positive that nerves could not be made to function once they had atrophied that the evidence before their own eyes was too impossible for them to believe. I laughed when they said that, because their own records and the evidence of my once total blindness and my new ability to see again clearly proved them wrong. Though they had difficulty believing it, I had none. I could see.

I went on to complete high school and get a BFA degree in drawing and painting. Eventually my work was shown in galleries on 57th Street in Manhattan. My fascination with the creativity of the mind, the power of the unconscious, and the transformative levels of the Spirit led me to study many intriguing aspects of psychology, physiology, and comparative religion. Through study I developed methodologies that I could teach and reproduce for others. I applied these to clients who sought me out when they needed to transform any aspect of their lives, whether it was embracing success principles in business and sales, applying high-powered visualization and concentration skills in sports, creative energies in the arts or healing any level of physical or emotional trauma.

The principles and practices offered here are a virtual cornucopia of techniques and understandings gleaned from a lifetime of deep research and highly focused observation. Mine was not just a physical or psychological healing, but a revelation that to overcome any obstacle no matter how great, reason, science, and emotional and cognitive factors are wonderful, intricate and rewarding yet must embrace the unquenchable love, power and compassion of that which underlays and overwhelms all the world we know, the beautiful living passionate inspiration we call God, in any of our cultural guises. The depth of the understanding you may find and apply here is based on the simple truth that there is always a solution, that you can achieve almost anything you desire, and that you can do this more quickly and efficiently than you can even conceive of at this moment. There is no need to struggle and there is no need to wait any longer. You are in the right place and it is the right time now, and you know it.

My study and research have allowed me the privilege of developing some highly effective protocols for quickly and effectively increasing your potential for great health, wealth, happiness and success. In this pursuit, I have become a member of the American Psychotherapy Association, the International Network for Alternative and Intuitive Therapies, the American Counseling Association, the American Christian Counseling Association, and many more professional groups. I hold doctoral degrees in Philosophy and Alternative Therapies. I have been practicing my craft for over 35 years. I have appeared on numerous television and radio programs and offered seminars and workshops in the USA and Canada. I have taught college courses at Daemen College and La Guardia Community College. My radio program, Adventures in Consciousness, in which I spoke about the awesome powers of the mind with internationally recognized experts, was heard every weekday morning by over 100,000 listeners in the United States and Canada.
