"When All Else Fails, Read the Instructions"

About My Offerings

The Global Wisdom System is the working title of my life's work, a collection of over 300 methods from every wisdom source that I could find, applied to every aspect of life.

I'm only writing the initial document, which will be a set of books. (It is currently over 1200 pages in MS Word.) The second version will be a Web site presentation with automated versions of each methodology, guided navigation, online real-time groups, co-mentoring, online blogs, and links to outside sources of information about each of the methods.

The final document will be a work in progress which is owned and evolved by the Global Wisdom System organization. The direction and evolution of this final document will be managed by members and by member organizations.

Periodically, as I write the Global Wisdom System Handbook, I blog little sections of it for the purpose of organizing my thoughts and soliciting feedback. Examples of this are the following:

• Paradox Is a Door to Deeper Understanding
• Harness Memories of Centered Inner Silence, and Reuse Them

I will be sharing approximately 6.7 percent of the methods in the Global Wisdom System in the on-going online Chrysalis Wisdom Council groups and in the Energy Healing Course that I will be teaching in the New Year. (Dates yet to be determined.) The curriculum is described at: Course in Energy Healing Available World-Wide By Webcam. I'm presenting both groups as fund raisers for IONS.

The links on the page Details about the Global Wisdom System Vision provide you with:

• A brief overview of my commitments to the future evolution of the planet through developing the Global Wisdom System Organization,
• A more detailed overview of the Global Wisdom System Handbook, and
• An expansive view of the future society that we're evolving towards.

The Chrysalis Wisdom Council

I created the Chrysalis Wisdom Council to manage this organization from a place of wisdom. I will teach the Chrysalis Wisdom Council to any person or group in IONS who wants to learn it with me--in person, by phone, and by online teleconference. Please write to me for details.

I have currently been leading Chrysalis Wisdom Councils for IONS members online, using Webcam technology. This makes them available anywhere on the planet. Previous online Wisdom Councils are described at: What I Learned About Getting Things Done from a Noetic Perspective and Bringing Chakra Awareness into Daily Consciousness. The next online Wisdom Council will take place on January 6 at 10:00 PST, entitled What is Your Energy Medicine? What Delights Do You Radiate? (Available World Wide).

You can also use the Chrysalis Wisdom Council as a private meditation when you’re all alone. For examples of this, click Invocation of a Global Wisdom Society that Embraces the River and The Scent of a Practice.

Nine Gates Mystery School

In 2004, Gay Luce, the founder of Nine Gates, invited me to show my PowerPoint presentation about the Global Wisdom System to the Executive Board of Nine Gates. I showed it to her, to Deborah Jones, and to Rigby Leighton, and then followed my presentation by doing Chrysalis Wisdom Council with the three of them.

In that wisdom council, Deborah told me that in the past, I have carried my vision by myself, but I would no longer be carrying it alone, because they were now carrying it with me.

I wrote a small piece of the vision that I described to Nine Gates—a collaborative and comprehensive personal and spiritual training program—in the blog If I Could Create One Shift in the World, What Would It Be?

The three of them subsequently shared the Chrysalis Wisdom Council technique with their Council of Guardians. The current version of the Chrysalis Wisdom Council contains a step that was contributed by the the Council of Guardians after they began using it independently of me.

After the Chrysalis Wisdom Council with the three of them, they told me that my work belongs inside of IONS. I think it should become a program within SIA.

My Background

I have been researching, writing, and practicing elements of this work since the creative vision in mid-February 1976.

I was so enlivened by this vision that I did not come down to earth for six weeks, at which point I realized that 1) I knew nothing about meditation or personal transformation, 2) I knew nothing about programming computers or writing training materials for computers, 3) No one would ever use such a training package anyway, since computers required an entire room to house them, and 4) I was six weeks behind in my university studies.

Since then, I have followed this vision sporadically, given that I'm not worthy of it.

In 1999, I realized that I would never be worthy; so I started teaching the curriculum to a small group every two weeks for three years.

In 2002, I realized that I would never allow myself to publish the material unless I embraced the original vision. So I stopped trying to do it the easy way, and began writing something that fit the original assignment from my higher self.
