The following is an extract from one of his articles
......For some time now there has been an ever increasing world-wide movement towards personal and collective spirituality and holistic thinking. Through the work of inspired individuals and focused  groups it has spread throughout the globe, uniting people as never before in a common cosmic cause. Even though it developed and exists for the most part outside the mainstream religious, medical and scientific mindset, it has gained widespread acceptance among people of all walks of life. It has even found a niche in our technological driven popular culture. If there is one guiding principle behind the emergence and development of this new consciousness it is that we are spiritual-psychological beings inhabiting a material world for the purpose of experiencing love more abundantly. This has fostered the emergence of a life view that synthesizes ancient philosophical and religious teachings with insights and understandings derived from in-depth psychology.

As a result spiritual teachings of a transformational nature, integrational psychological processes and holistic healing practices now exist that enable individuals to have greater awareness of the totality of their identity, the intrinsic connection between spirit, mind and body as well as the therapeutic power of inner energies. These contemporary modalities often draw from initiation and healing practices once taught and used in ancient Egypt, India ,the Middle and Far East. Such teachings and processes, while enabling  individuals to experience healing, harmony and wholeness  have, at the same time, contributed to the birth and growth of a culture in which there is a collective consciousness of the cosmic and universal nature of life and the need to understand and live by its laws. We in the West have been re-discovering the knowledge necessary for us to evolve spiritually as individuals and as a race. Knowledge that enables us to find our way into a personal and creative relationship with our Divine source, with God. To know ourselves to be ourselves but also part of a greater whole.......
