What people say about the Soul
I am so blessed to have been able to stumble across this magical and sacred place. The Soul of Yoga is here to help make the world a loving place because it all starts with you. Its enviable that your life will change just after one class. I was grateful to have my first Kundalini yoga class on my 25th birthday at the Soul of Yoga and it forever changed my life. Ive had the pleasure to take classes from Marcia, Tony, Bri, Nicole, and Paige. Each teacher brings their own flare and their authentic self to the class which is so crucial in todays yoga scene. Often times youll go to a class and it feels as though there is nothing fresh not at the Soul of Yoga. Every time I go to class, I am blessed with a new and life-nurishing experience.
Sabrina R. ~ San Diego, CA
This place holds what the name communicates: Soul of Yoga! As a explorer of Life, I have travelled a lot through the world and have seen a lot of Yoga Studios, but this one had this special feeling as soon as I walked in the door. A feeling of having the possibility to connect truly to my Soul, to my true self. This yoga teacher training has supported my transformational process and connected me again to my heart! This place is for those, who really are interested in learning all facets of Yoga, not just the physical practice. Thank you Soul of Yoga for this unique experience!!!
Rashid M. ~ San Diego, CA
The teacher training is an amazingly transforming journey that is truly a gift of unexpected growth and a lifelong treasure.

Evolutionary Leadership | Training Magazine
Posted: May 7, 2016 at 11:47 pm
By Deborah Busser, Consultant, Camden Consulting Group
Google the word, leadership, and you will get thousands of entries on leadership styles, leadership qualities, leadership training, leadership skills, leadership challenges, leadership techniques, leadership tools, and so on. The good news is that organizations recognize they need strong leadership to achieve results. The challenge is that there are so many different definitions, explanations, training programs, and interventions that it can be difficult to get a grasp on what leadership is, why you need it, and how to nurture it.
Evolutionary leadership is one of the newer terms related to leadership. It offers a multi-dimensional perspective drawn from the latest business school research, as well as positive psychology, integral theory, and spirituality. One definition of evolution is that it is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually better or more complex form. Other definitions talk about change that occurs over successive generations. So how do evolution and leadership come together?
Evolutionary leadership has less to do with what you do, and more to do with what you believe in and value. Evolutionary leaders are, by definition, self-aware and constantly strive to keep their egos in check. They are connected to a higher vision and know that becoming the best leader they can be is a process they will never complete. Instead of finding this discouraging, however, they are motivated and fueled by their sense of purpose to keep learning, and to push the boundaries of what cutting-edge leadership looks like, not only for themselves but for all of those who will follow. Craig Hamilton, the former editor of EnlighteNext magazine and the founder of Integral Enlightenment, elaborates on many of the concepts below in workshops he runs for thousands of learners all over the globe.
Evolutionary leaders:
Evolutionary leaders are committed to the continuous growth and evolution of themselves and those around them, and have consciously chosen to use their roles to accelerate climates of learning and growth in service to their stakeholders, their communities and the world.

2013 Spiritual PhytoEssencing Training Intensive
Posted: February 19, 2016 at 2:45 pm
Webinar Classes and Home-Study Training Courses
Dr. Bruce Berkowsky's 2016 Spiritual PhytoEssencing Training Intensive
Dr. Bruce Berkowsky is a master practitioner, and one of the world's preeminent teachers, of deep psycho-spiritual healing work with essential oils. In addition to essential oils providing benefit on a physical level, they also exert a strong influence upon the psycho-spiritual plane. Dr. Berkowsky designed the art of Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE) to help an individual overcome the separation from one's real self a core factor in much of the deep-seated psycho-spiritual disharmony we experience.
The real self is the deepest stratum of the self-structure, the one which directly connects to, and reflects, one's unique soul essence. The innermost aspect of the real self can be referred to as the inner spiritual self. When one operates from his or her real self as opposed to the ideal self (a compensated state a person constructs based upon the expectations and concepts of others), he or she evaluates life experiences based upon pre-thought level feeling and sensing and connection to spirit.
Operating from one's real self is the only viable pathway to self-actualization and thus the feeling of inner completion. On the other hand, charting one's course based upon the expectations and concepts of others, despite their incongruence with one's organic feeling, sensing and spirit guidance, obstructs self-actualization and leads to an inertial state of stuckness.
Plants are alive and anything living has being. In other words, plants, like humans and other animals are ensouled. In Spiritual PhytoEssencing, essential oil blends are constructed based upon the archetypal patterns of each oil's inner soul nature. Accordingly, essential oils are selected for inclusion in a customized essential blend on the basis of their congruence with certain aspects of a specific person's soul/real self archetypal pattern. Thus, when properly prepared, the completed blend represents a portrait in oils of that person's inner soul nature.
It is the encounter with soul-level congruence between the personalized blend and one's real self that encourages the latter to reassume its natural leadership role regarding the guidance of one's life course. Living totally moored within the artifice of the ideal self fosters an ongoing state of conflict arising from the incongruence between how one is informed by organic feeling, sensing and spirit connection and how one ultimately values and reacts to life experiences based upon externally controlled behavior. This state of continual incongruence must invariably lead to a state of chronic discontentment.
In the 2016 Spiritual PhytoEssencing Training Intensive, you will be taught how to construct these customized, life-enhancing blends.
If you would like to study with Dr. Berkowsky without ever having to leave your home, consider this year's webinar-based training course:
Please note: As the popularity of Dr. Berkowsky's Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE) and Natural Health Science System has grown, so have the demands on his time. The development and presentation of this annual training intensive is extraordinarily time-consuming. Therefore, the 2016 Spiritual PhytoEssencing Training Intensive, which begins March 23rd, is the final, annual (this is the 20th year of these annual training intensives), comprehensive course which covers the entire SPE skill set. Future SPE courses will be more limited in scope.
Accordingly, if you would like to take advantage of this rare opportunity to be trained by Dr. Berkowsky in the SPE art of customized layered blending using oils that he has personally sourced from around the world and potentizing (the SPE art of preparing a homeopathic-style dilution using 12 drops of the customized essential oil blend), without ever having to leave home, do not miss this opportunity to do so.
Dr. Bruce Berkowsky's 2016 Spiritual PhytoEssencing Training Intensive Creating Personalized, Soul-Level Healing Essential Oil Blends (limited class size)
Presented by Bruce Berkowsky, N.M.D., M.H., H.M.C. Founder and teacher of Spiritual PhytoEssencing Deep, soul-level healing work with essential oils
Specific Course Details
This in-depth training features
1) In-Depth Exploration of the Inner Nature of Four Essential Oils
The 2016 Training Intensive will feature in-depth exploration of the inner nature of four essential oils Balsam fir, bergamot, eucalyptus and gandhi root (also called sugandh mantri). Dr. Berkowsky's classes typically run between 2 and 2.5 hours each. The first half of each class is devoted to theory and review. The second half of four of the classes will be devoted to an in-depth exploration of the inner soul-nature of a specific essential oil. All students will also receive the Balsam fir; Bergamot; Eucalyptus and Gandhi root chapters (each chapter is typically 20 to 30 pages long) from Berkowsky's Synthesis Materia Medica/Spiritualis of Essential Oils
2) Sensory Animal Imagery Blend Development Training
Dr. Berkowsky developed the SPE customized animal imagery blends techniques after encountering the work of psychoanalyst Eligio Stephen Gallegos, Ph.D. In his book The Personal Totem Pole, Gallegos, one of the world's foremost experts on deep imagination (imagination emerging from the pre-conscious, soul realm as opposed to the faculty of imagination associated with everyday consciousness), describes how, in his psychoanalytic work, helping a person elaborate imaginal animals (beings which can only be elaborated via deep soul-level imagination) and then, through their actions being informed by them, resulted in deep-level emotional healing and personal growth. Once the imaginal animals are elaborated, they can be encouraged to develop a helping relationship with the person to whom they are indigenous.
Dr. Gallegos, who teaches his Personal Totem Pole Process to therapists and laypeople all around the world, found that these imaginal animals have a distinct association with the chakras and senses. In other words, an individual, when properly guided, elaborates a different imaginal creature from each chakra and/or each of the senses.
While all of this sounds somewhat primitive and beyond the bounds of rational thought, when one opens to the work, the experience is actually quite profound. Importantly, there is a difference between imaginal animals and imaginary ones. The former arise from the deepest layers of psychical existence and the soul-level artifacts of earlier periods in the human evolutionary journey. The latter are simply figments of one's everyday consciousness wherein imagination often serves as the engine of meaningless fantasizing.
Using some of Gallegos' central ideas and understandings, Dr. Berkowsky has developed the Spiritual PhytoEssencing chakra animal imagery blend and sensory animal imagery blend methods. In the 2016 Spiritual PhytoEssencing Training Intensive, the students will be taught how to develop a personalized sensory animal imagery blend.
In The Personal Totem Pole, Gallegos writes: Whereas the chakras are modes of action or power, the senses are modes of reception.
What we learn from the sensory animals is that some early injuries may have been dealt with at the level of the senses. Traumatic or injurious situations were encapsulated at the level of the sense organ, and perception of the event was thus modified in order to protect the child. The efferent sensory system [the system of feedback from the central nervous system to the sensory organ such, as the nose, itself], could readily accomplish such a change.
The modified input is represented in the sensory animals. Developing a relationship with them allows the quickest way I know for healing the injury and realigning the sensory organ with a relatively unbiased input.
The focus of the 2016 Spiritual PhytoEssencing Training Intensive layered blending training exercise (see below) will actually be the creation of a personalized sensory animal imagery blend. In other words, each person, using the 2016 Spiritual PhytoEssencing Training Intensive Essential Oil Set, will be guided to create his or her own personalized sensory animal imagery blend.
Similarly, the focus of the potentizing class (the final class of the training intensive; potentizing involves taking 2 drops of a personalized essential oil blend and, using a method developed by Dr. Berkowsky, producing a homeopathic-style dilution of the blend for internal use.) will be the development of a highly dilute homeopathic-style potency from the personalized sensory animal imagery blend each student created during the layered blending exercise.
This may be the last time Dr. Berkowsky personally teaches the SPE method. In the future, those who did not participate in this course, will have to rely on recordings of the potentizing method.
3) Layered Blending Training Exercise
As noted, a central feature of this course will be the layered blending training exercise during which Dr. Berkowsky will guide the students step-by-step in the preparation of a layered sensory animal imagery blend using the oils in the class oil set.
These oils, personally sourced by Dr. Berkowsky from around the world, are all of exquisite soul-level healing quality. The set, made available to students at a very reasonable price, is not included in the tuition fee. Students can opt to use their own oils for the blending exercise. However, the oils Dr. Berkowsky makes available are of extraordinary quality and most students are eager to work with them.
The eligibility to purchase the class oil set is one of the central attractions of this course. While the cost of this set is separate from the tuition fee, Dr. Berkowsky makes an extraordinary effort to keep the pricing remarkably reasonable so that everyone can afford to participate in the blending exercise.
Dr. Berkowsky personally sources the oils for this set from distillers all over the world. He spends months sampling oils from different distillers before constructing the set. He will only include oils that not only are grown or wild-harvested in an ecologically sensitive manner, but also are particularly rich in the plant-soul forces required for deep soul-level healing work with essential oils. Many students remark that the oils Dr. Berkowsky provides are the finest and most spiritually vibrant they have ever experienced.
The composition of this set of approximately 15 oils (5 ml each) will not be finalized until early March. The following oils will definitely be in the set: African tea tree oil, balsam fir, bergamot, clary sage, Douglas-fir, eucalyptus, frankincense, gandhi root, Jasmine auriculatum, high-altitude true lavender, lavender sage, lemon, monarda and Norway pine.
Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE), features the use of two types of essential oil blends: constitutional and situational. The constitutional blends include the: custom soul archetype pattern blend, chakra animal imagery blend, sensory animal imagery blend, gemstone mantra blend, and polarity synthesis blend (based upon leading concepts from the work of 19th century philosopher G.W.F. Hegel). All of these blends are customized to reflect the unique inner soul nature of one particular individual.
Situational blends are prepared to illuminate and activate key spiritual perspectives regarding specific life situations such as illness challenges, divorce, encountering a pivotal crossroad in one's life, dying, grieving, etc. Situational blends, while customized, are more limited in personal scope than constitutional custom blends, and can be formulated to be relevant for more than just one person.
All students will be preparing their own sensory animal imagery blend which, in accordance with the Spiritual PhytoEssencing blending method, will be constructed in layers.
Dr. Berkowsky will review the Spiritual PhytoEssencing alchemical blending techniques including: the surrounding essence, invisible sparks, jewel in the lotus, magic drops and soul star drops techniques. Each of these techniques is very subtle, yet powerful and serve as catalysts that increase the dynamic, soul-level healing potential of the blend.
4) Homeopathic-Style Potentization Training
The Spiritual PhytoEssencing potentizing technique involves taking 2 drops of a personalized essential oil blend and, using a method developed by Dr. Berkowsky, producing a homeopathic-style dilution of the blend for internal use. In this course, each student will be producing a highly dilute homeopathic-style potency from the personalized sensory animal imagery blend he or she created during the layered blending exercise.
5) Class Recordings
All classes will be recorded and so those who have scheduling conflicts and miss a class, can review the entire presentation whenever they like, at their own pace. The recordings also allow those who did attend the class the chance to review the class material as often as desired.
Schedule of Classes
There will be 6 classes in all (plus a free bonus Q&A/student feedback class).
The course begins on March 23rd and (including the layered blending exercise) concludes in late June. This provides a casual pace that allows for more extensive between-class study and review and blending time.
First Class: Wednesday, March 23rd @ 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time (8:00 p.m. Eastern Time). All classes except are presented at the same time.
The scheduling of classes for the remainder of the course is set as follows:
Additionally, there will be a bonus Q&A and student feedback class scheduled after the course has ended.
Continuing Education Credit and Certification
Those who complete the entire course, including the blending and potentizing, will be eligible to receive a letter recommending the issuance of 20 CE credits. If a student does not participate in all the components of the course, the number of CE credits he or she will be eligible for will depend upon proportionate participation.
Certification Exam
Those students who participate in the 2016 SPE Training Intensive can sit for an optional certification exam (which includes submission of a sample of the blend the student prepared).
There are different levels of Spiritual PhytoEssencing certification. Those students who pass 3 certification exams are awarded the credential R.SPE.P. (Registered Spiritual PhytoEssencing Practitioner). For students who are interested in going on to earn a diploma in Spiritual PhytoEssencing and receive a Di.SPE (Diplomate of Spiritual PhytoEssencing) credential, passing the certification exam is necessary for this course to count as one of the six required Diploma Course (a tutored home-study course) study modules.
Tuition
Dr. Berkowsky is well aware that these are difficult economic times for a lot of people and so keeps tuition rates unusually low. This may be your last chance to take this comprehensive course conducted personally by Dr. Berkowsky at such low tuition rates.
Tuition covers: all 6 classes, the class recordings, the layered blending exercise, the potentizing training as well as all class study exercises (Dr. Berkowsky designs unique, optional study exercises that the students receive between classes), chapters from Berkowsky's Synthesis Materia Medica/Spiritualis of Essential Oils and other reference materials.
Individuals who cannot afford to pay the full tuition in one payment can contact Dr. Berkowsky to set up a comfortable, monthly installment payment plan. If you require a payment plan contact Dr. Berkowsky and he will e-mail the details to you. Contact: drbruceb@cnw.com
The cost of the class oil set, required for participation in the layered blending exercise, is not included in the tuition. Considering the rare quality of all the oils (personally sourced by Dr. Berkowsky), the set will be very reasonably priced in order to allow anyone who wants to participate in the blending the exercise to be able to afford to do so.
Early-Bird Tuition best offer ends Tuesday, March 1st: $325.00
Full Tuition after March 1st: $375.00

Berkowsky's Synthesis Materia Medica/Spiritualis of Essential Oils
Berkowsky's Synthesis Materia Medica/Spiritualis Of Essential Oils consists of 110 chapters, covering 110 different essential oils.
This is a work in progress that Dr. Bruce Berkowsky began work on in 1998. It is the central reference manual for the art of Spiritual PhytoEssencing (the system of soul-level healing work) that he began developing in the mid-1990s.
In addition to essential oils providing benefit on a physical level, they also exert a strong influence upon the psycho-spiritual plane. Dr. Berkowsky designed the art of Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE) to help an individual overcome the separation from one's higher self that lies at the core of emotional and physical disharmony.

Spiritual Nutrition Mastery Program
The two year Spiritual Nutrition Mastery Program is our most comprehensive training program for spiritual transformation. Our unique science-based academic curriculum supports a strong emphasis in spiritual and nutritional exploration and development. It is at once challenging, inspiring, and enriching.
With a combination of on-site and distance learning, this program provides a superior foundation in Spiritual Nutrition through integrating the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of health.
Upon completion of the Spiritual Nutrition Masters Program, our graduates are certified as a Spiritual Nutritional Counselor and Modern Essene Minister.
Credits are honored by the University of Integrated Science of California (UISCA http://www.uisca.org) for a Masters of Arts Degree in Vegan and Live Food Nutrition. Students may apply for their diploma upon graduation. For those who do not currently hold a bachelor degree, certification as a Spiritual and Nutrition Counselor is available from Cousens School of Holistic Wellness.
The two year Spiritual Nutrition Mastery Program is divided into the following four elements which make up the distance learning and on-campus training.
Through our online education platform, students will experience the ease of communication with other CSHW students and teachers. For each topic, students will have conference calls, group forums and a critical thinking essay submission.
Eating a diet rich in plant-source only and living foods can improve health, slow aging, improve mental clarity, and strengthen overall immune function. Understanding the natural functions of the body and by integrating all components of nutrition, students will learn how to achieve and teach optimum health.
The Essene consciousness is that of the Awakened Ones. They are the ones who live in the Eternal Presence beyond the confines of the identification with the mind and body. Excerpted from Creating Peace by Being Peace by Rabbi Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
The Essene portion of study is woven throughout the nutritional education. This balance of awareness on how to connect the body, mind and spirit is taught through living the Modern Essene Way, guided by the Six Foundation and Sevenfold Peace. This individualized spiritual support comes from Rabbi Gabriel Cousens, MD and Essene Priestess Shanti GoldsCousens
The thesis project is one of the most exciting things SNP students will do to support devotion to Spiritual Nutrition.

Daniel 10 and the Notion of Territorial Spirits (Contra) by David E. Stevens, Senior Pastor, Central Bible Church, Portland, Oregon. Indepth study in which Stevens points out that
A marked difference stands between the nature of Daniels prayer and what is presently termed strategic-level intercession. Daniel never sought the names of these cosmic powers nor did he employ their names in his intercessiona practice more in keeping with occultic arts.71 In fact there is no indication that Daniel was aware of what was taking place in the heavenlies during his three week period of prayer and fasting. It is not until after this period that Daniel received revelation about the identity of the angels engaged in this heavenly struggle.72 And even then, the only angel who was named was Michael (10:13), who fought on behalf of Israel. The evil angelic princes of Persia and Greece were identified by their generic titles. In light of this, Lowe concludes, If this passage teaches the importance of names, it is angelic names which are consequential. Generic titles are sufficient for demons.73
Territorial Spirits (Pro) by Don Rogers, Spiritual Warfare Ministries Online. Territorial Spirits and Spiritual Warfare: A Biblical Perspective (contra) by Eric Villanueva
What about corporate demonization over regions, nations, cities, ethnic groups, and generations of families? First, we must acknowledge that there is some biblical evidence for territorial spirits. Jesus called Satan the prince of this world (John 12:31) while Paul named him the prince of the power of the air (Eph. 2:2) and the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4). He leads the whole world astray together with his angels (Rev. 12:9, NIV). []
Where teachers of these doctrines depart from Scripture more definitely is in the practice of trying to expel these spirits. The Bible does show Jesus and Paul verbally rebuking demons which physically possessed individuals. Each of these individuals was freed, and, like the Gadarene, was found to be in his right mind after the expulsion.
It is important to note, however, that neither Jesus nor the disciples ever verbally rebuked (or taught others to do so) national, ethnic, behavioral, or generational demons. The Bay Area demons have been thoroughly rebuked but the region is still not in its right mind, while materialism, immorality, and irreverence are common behavior.
Territorial Spirits: Some Biblical Perspectives (Neutral) Vern S. Poythress
Now what does the Bible have to say specifically about territorial spirits, that is, the association or confinement of evil spirits or angelic spirits to certain spatial locations or territories? The Bible contains very little explicit teaching that would satisfy our curiosity or morbid fascination. But there are some scattered indications of various kinds. Some texts directly or indirectly indicate that we can expect, at least in many cases, that demons have a particular spatially limited habitat.
What are territorial spirits? (Balanced) from GotQuestions.org. Points out that while the Christian concept of territorial spirits comes from Bible passages, engage territorial demons in spiritual warfare is not justified by Scripture.

Dan Millman Interview – Spiritual Endeavors
Posted: at 3:42 pm
Dan Millman Interview
by Simon Hunt for Spiritual Endeavors
Spiritual Endeavors Dan, you're probably best known to most people for your best selling books. Your first book, Way Of The Peaceful Warrior, has been read by millions of people, translated into 12 languages, and has a major feature film in development. But athletics was your first love. And it's obvious that it remains dear to your heart. You're doing a fund raiser here in Las Vegas for the World Acrobatics Society. Let's start there.
Dan Millman Okay. I'll be visiting with the World Acrobatics Society as they hold one of the major meets of the season, The Go For It Classic, at Cashman Field. I'll be speaking on Life Mastery And The Laws Of Spirit at one of the rooms there, from 2:30 till about 4 p.m. on Saturday, February 7th, followed by a book signing. Tickets are $ 22. I'll be there to raise funds for these talented kids.
Spiritual Endeavors You had a wonderful career teaching and coaching gymnastics at Stanford. You took a dormant program and in four years turned it around to produce world class and Olympic athletes. You put in all the hard work of changing it around, but didn't stay to reap the rewards, why?
Dan Millman I stopped coaching when I realized I was admiring the other team as much as my own athletes. I didn't care who won. I cared if everybody played a good game and did their best. In my view, no one looses, because whenever you play, you're learning something about yourself. I treated opposing athletes not as the enemy, but as potential teachers. So I decided it wasn't really appropriate for me anymore.
Spiritual Endeavors I understand that you used some unusual techniques at the time; fairly commonplace now, but unheard of back then.
Dan Millman Yes. Other coaches used to rib me because they considered me kind of a weirdo at the time. They'd say, "I heard rumors you have your athletes meditate before competition." And I'd say, "Of course not! I have them meditate during the competition."
Spiritual Endeavors From being an athlete and college coach, how did you get into writing books like Way Of The Peaceful Warrior, The Laws Of Spirit, and your other books?
Dan Millman I started my writing career with articles about natural principles of training for a gymnastics magazine. Later, these principles expanded to the broader arena of skill training, including other sports, such as dance, martial arts, and music. During this time, I wrote the book now titled The Inner Athlete (formerly "The Warrior Athlete), to convey how to become a natural athlete (or musician or anything else)--about the larger promise and potential of training. Having done that, the scope of my work expanded into the realm of daily life. I went on to write Way Of The Peaceful Warrior and the books that followed.
Spiritual Endeavors I realize that it's not as important as some people think, but for the record, is the character Socrates real or fictional?
Dan Millman The character of Socrates is based on a real old man I met in an old gas station on the corner of Oxford and Hearst Streets in Berkeley, California, about 3 A.M. one starry night.
Spiritual Endeavors And could he really jump up on rooftops etc..
Dan Millman No. Nor did he grab me by the head and "send" me on inner journeys, or make me forget about Joy for all those years, or "crush" my skull in a cave in the mountains. Socrates became the spokesperson for what I had learned from a number of teachers and influences in my life, both external and internal.
Spiritual Endeavors How much of that book is true?
Dan Millman Except for the items I've already noted, most of the book is factual. I did go to Berkeley. I was a world trampoline champion and gymnast. I did shatter my right femur in a motorcycle accident and recover to join my team and win the NCAA Gymnastics Championships. I did travel around the world studying various martial arts and spiritual traditions; I was married to Linda with whom I had a daughter, Holly. I did have an experience one might call "ego death" and powerful insights that continued to surface over the years.
Spiritual Endeavors As I said, I realize the non importance of the question, but some people will be very disappointed.
Dan Millman Some people are very disappointed to learn that it's not all factual, because they are so strongly hoping for "magic" in the world that contrasts with what appears to be a mundane existence. My intent is not to create illusions, but to point out the extraordinary event of daily life, right now. Let's keep our heads in the clouds, but our feet on the ground. Why be concerned about traveling "out of the body" before we've even gotten INTO it? Let's not get so fascinated by "near-death" experiences that we fail to notice that THIS moment is a near-death experience. Some of us who want to know all about past and future lives aren't yet paying attention to this one.
Spiritual Endeavors I understand. Here at Spiritual Endeavors we've had that lesson drawn to us also. Idealistically, we'd love to give everything away free. But that head in the clouds philosophy doesn't keep Spiritual Endeavors alive, to keep on benefiting others, unless the bills are paid. I would imagine that being the great success you are, you would have had to do a bit of soul searching in the "money and spiritual truths department". How did you work it out for yourself?
Dan Millman Some people have negative or unrealistic, idealistic views about money, especially when it comes to what they see as spiritual teachings or spiritual life. Images of the Indian sadhus, ascetics who own nothing but a loincloth, or the Buddhist monks with begging bowls, are archetypes in our psyche. Popular media laud the "poor but good-hearted people" and the "nasty, spoiled rich." Remember the film, "It's a Wonderful Life"? The term "rich person" has become an epithet. Money is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving. If one lives alone, one can live without much money; if one raises a family as I do, and wants the best schools and a comfortable life for them, then one needs to work. I make my living writing and lecturing. I charge a respectable fee and give all I can. This is how it works for me.
Spiritual Endeavors At Spiritual Endeavors we are understanding that more clearly with every passing day. Yet, let's play devils advocate for a moment. There are those people out there who would say, "Dan you have information others should know about. You should be giving it away, not selling it".
Dan Millman Anyone who disagrees is welcome to express their view. After all, if we all agree on everything, only one of us is necessary
Spiritual Endeavors Well put.
Dan Millman People are welcome to express agreement or disagreement, and to criticize me. No one is above criticism. I don't require people to believe me or even to trust me; I encourage them to trust themselves. It's important to test what we read or hear against our own life experience to see if it is realistic or valid.
Spiritual Endeavors And that is so important! That's probably the one thing we try to convey the strongest at Spiritual Endeavors. So many "New Agers" tend to gulp down the latest philosophy without even bothering to chew it over. The real spiritual knowledge is eternal and gained through the discernment of all ages. How do you feel about your books being considered New Age?
Dan Millman I really haven't the faintest idea what the "New Age" is. First of all, it's not really new; most of the shamanistic, positive-thinking, proto-Atlantean healing technologies, occult, extra-terrestrial, subliminal, affirmative this-and-that have ancient roots. Second, the "new age" differs from the warrior tradition in that the "new age" has no shadow; it is aggressively pacifistic, idealistic rather than realistic, hopeful to the point of denial. Anyway, now that I'm 50 years old, I've asked the bookstores to move my books out of the New Age section and put them in the "Middle Age" section.
Spiritual Endeavors Dan, this has been delightful. Perhaps I better ask you some questions for your readers. Some of your readers think that through your experiences with Socrates you've become enlightened. How do you respond?
Dan Millman We've all read about these idealized figures who have "reached the state of permanent enlightenment." I'm a little skeptical about that. If life is a series of moments, we each have enlightened moments, and moments of being asleep, ignorant. Sometimes I'm an illumined guy, and sometimes I act like a jackass. I do have more good moments than in the past. Someone who observed my life would find it pretty compassionate, balanced, committed, responsible, functional, altruistic, and at other moments less so. That seems more realistic than talk about enlightenment, as fascinating as that may be. Enlightenment, to me, is less like turning on a light switch; more like gradually turning up a dimmer switch. In a sense, we're all becoming more "enlightened" over time--that is, if we're paying attention to the bigger picture.
Spiritual Endeavors Do you believe in God?
Dan Millman One of my favorite sayings is this: "There's God; and then there's not paying attention." To me this has nothing to do with saying I believe or don't believe something. Anyone who has looked into the depths of the ocean or up at a starry sky or really looked at a flower or a tree or anything else is also somehow gazing into the heart of God. At least it seems that way to me. But if you mean do I agree with or state my allegiance to one or another holy book, well--yes and no. A mountain path is my church; so are the city streets. Church is everywhere because Spirit is everywhere.
Spiritual Endeavors Spirit is everywhere. And in many ways it could be compared cyber space. You maintain your own web domain. Are you finding the Internet a useful tool for reaching the Personal Development audience?
Dan Millman I have an almost religious zeal--not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up. In fact, the only way to get information about me and my work, currently other than what's written in my books, is to check my web site. I encourage all my friends to get online. Saves paper, increases interconnection and communication. To me we are in the midst of a quantum evolutionary leap and it's impossible to predict what it will mean.
Spiritual Endeavors And now there's another site, http://www.destinykeys.com, which aids people in discovering their life purpose. How did that come into being?
Dan Millman I was approached by a very bright group of people who were so taken by the material in my book, The Life You Were Born to Live, and had the Internet expertise to do it right, that I agreed to put the life purpose system online for those people who would like to receive the information through this growing medium. So far, the Life-Purpose Workbook orders are modest, but I know it will grow and serve a valuable purpose.
Spiritual Endeavors At that site people are actually able to get a free preview life purpose reading according to your system. I was there a few days ago. I submitted my birth date, and I was impressed. Helping people discover their life purpose is right down our alley. What do you say we put a link in the Spiritual Endeavors FreeStuff pavilion?
Dan Millman Let's do it.
Spiritual Endeavors Okay. [ See link below interview. ] What other projects are you currently working on?
Dan Millman My next book, Everyday Enlightenment: The Twelve Gateways to Spiritual Growth will be published by Warner Books. It should be in the bookstores by April 1998. I also have more stories in the works, including a special Christmas story, a sweeping novel, and a book of principles, quotations, and stories.
Spiritual Endeavors Everyday Enlightenment. Now there's a concept to practice. How about a sneak preview?
Dan Millman Love to. [Editor's note: That exciting preview will be featured in the next issue of New Beginnings.]
Spiritual Endeavors How about being a guest speaker at the Tuesday Gatherings during your visit here in February? Dan Millman Love to. Let me check the dates. Opps I won't be coming in to Las Vegas till Thursday. Perhaps another trip?
Spiritual Endeavors You're on. Dan, you certainly have been very gracious. Is there anything you'd like to add?
Dan Millman Sure! That's why I'm still writing. When I have nothing else to add, I'll stop. Let me close with this: Some people have called with one or another problem--maybe it's a relationship issue, or health or finances or a difficult decision. I end up saying the same thing: Trust the process of your life. As the title of one of my books, The Life You Were Born To Live, indicates, our lives may be predestined in some sense; yet we also have the free will to make choices which shape our lives. There may be no ultimate right or wrong, but there are consequences. Responsibility means recognizing the consequences of our actions for ourselves and others. Faith is the courage to live and act as if we "can't make the wrong decision." In other words, we make our choices and live as if it were the best possible choices. A path we choose may turn out to be difficult, but that doesn't mean it was the wrong choice. Let's treat difficulties as forms of spiritual weightlifting. All we can do in this life is to handle what's in front of us, accept ourselves and others as we are. We can be gentle with ourselves, and compassionate, and at the same time, call forth the best within us. There's the paradox; there's the humor; there's the path of daily life, the way of the peaceful warrior.
Spiritual Endeavors Thank you Dan.
Interview of Dan Millman by Simon Hunt for Spiritual Endeavors Best Selling author Dan Millman is probably most known for his book, Way Of The Peaceful Warrior.

In the spring of 1977, Michael was introduced to the writings of Rudolf Steiner. Within weeks he launched upon an ever-expanding path of exploration and discovery. He started his study of Astrology that spring and voraciously read Dane Rudhyar, Besant, and whomever elses astrology books he could find. In a years time, he started to provide readings to those who asked. He discovered Jeffrey Wolf Greens work with his first book on Pluto in 1980. He found that Jeffreys insights and basis of thought were in alignment with his own perceptions. His methodology provided deeper insights, which went hand-in-hand with what Michael had learned and understood about karmic impulses and relationships through Anthroposophy, and his own personal experience. In 1997, Michael began the Evolutionary Astrology Correspondence Course through Jeffrey Wolf Green. He continued working with Jeffreys materials and methods during the ten years it took to get his EA certification through Kim Marie. Michaels work as a Waldorf Teacher, and as an artist took up much of his time and focus, but proved to be enhanced by his astrological work and certification. Michael is also a member of the Anthroposophical Society, a member of the First Class of Spiritual Science, and recently a member of the Western Regional Council of the Anthroposophical Society of North America.
