Spirit: The Science of Miracles book cover
My book on The Science of Miracles. Click on the picture for more information.

My earliest interests focused on ontology and personal certainty. These are pretty heavy topics for a three-year-old, but this is the earliest that I remember having thought of these things. Certainly, my interest was borne out of earlier infancy. How is such a thing possible? Could it be because we are each not the physical bodies we wear?

Throughout my life, I have questioned my beliefs and attempted to empty my cup to have it filled with the next banquet of understanding. Thus, I have studied comparative religion, experimented with miracles and struggled to obtain a spiritual understanding of ancient religious texts.

I came to understand that there are two faces to religion. First, we have the face destroyed by ego—the selfishness of emperors who wanted to mangle the religion in order to use it as a tool for control. Second, we have the earlier face which shines with the light of God and Truth.

My Spiritual Timeline

  • 1950—My return to Earth this lifetime.
  • 1951–1953—Dreams of flight, faith, doubt and self-concern.
  • 1953—Critical self-awareness in my grandfather’s church (Southern Baptist).
  • 1959—First major step with forgiveness. Dad had read Dianetics by Hubbard, cured my mother of painful earache and ended corporal punishment in the family. I ended my 5-year feud with my brother Larry.
  • 1962—Family moved to Washington, DC area so my Dad could study Scientology (the spiritual extension of Dianetics).
  • 1967—My 3 brothers and I spent summer working at DC Church of Scientology and taking courses. Courses continued, evenings, into my senior year of high school. First ever low grades prompted me to ask for help. Counseling with David Aldrich gave me first taste of the power of Scientology spiritual counseling. My “Ds” in English Lit. were offset by the only “A” on the mid-term exam.
  • 1968—Family attempted to join Sea Org on the Scientology Flagship in Melilla, Spanish Morocco; then Saint Hill staff in East Grinstead, Sussex, England; only to return to America, moving to Los Angeles to join American Saint Hill Organization (ASHO) staff. Free training and counseling.
  • 1969—Joined Sea Organization, moving to base in Mexico, then to Advanced Organization L.A. (AOLA).
  • 1970—Power Processing triggered first remote viewing experience—out-of-body with full perception.
  • 1971—Counseling became easier and easier, finally as-ising (vanishing) entire chains of negative, past events by inspection. This freed up awareness in the present to do more constructive things. Left Sea Org in September. Moved to Phoenix, Arizona to re-join family.
  • 1972—Family moved to Flagstaff, Arizona so parents could start their own Scientology center.
  • 1973—Met John R. Jones (science fiction author, John Dalmas) at Scientology Center Flagstaff; beginning of lifelong friendship. Also, met my first wife there; married in December.
  • 1974—Struggled with meaning of “not know” related to “postulates.” Developed hypothesis on spiritual action (miracles, prayer) and tested it with strong, positive result. Later in year, moved back to Los Angeles to continue Scientology counseling.
  • 1975—Continued experimenting with spiritual action, with more, startling and positive results.
  • 1977—Miracles on Wilshire Boulevard—parting 2 miles of rush-hour traffic from 3 lanes to 2 within 5 seconds. Took me 34 years to understand more fully what had happened that day. Finished Clear level in Scientology (~December, #6307). Experienced one entire week of serene, mental quiet.
  • 1985—Separation and divorce from first wife. Left increasingly psychotic Church of Scientology—negative changes after Hubbard had stepped down. Studied Buddhism. Stress-induced illness created heightened mental clarity and several months of creative realizations. April, met my second wife, immigrant from Thailand.
  • 1986—Re-married.
  • 1990—Visited Thailand. Switched careers from art to computer science.

  • 1997—Moved from Los Angeles back to Phoenix.
  • 1998—While researching for my Edge of Remembrance series of novels (Atlantis), I became interested in Kabbalah and my discovery of the Kabbalistic “Tree of Life” embedded in two chapters of Genesis.
