My Story

After stints as a professor of Spanish language and literature at Northwestern University and an attorney at a boutique litigation firm in Manhattan, I had a profound spiritual awakening, which transformed my views of the true nature of reality. My psychic faculties opened up, and I began to download works of spiritual wisdom on the nature of human consciousness and experience a state called samadhi, where I am filled with a blissful energy of love and peace.

As a former academic and attorney who values the intellect, I think of myself as a “modern mystic” and my spiritual beliefs as “practical woo-woo.” You will not find me repeating vague New Age tenets about frequency or manifestation. My wisdom is rooted in my concrete experience, and I focus on awareness, forgiveness, and intuition as pathways to wisdom and compassion.

Spirituality is, for me, the path of releasing judgment so that we see each other as equally worthy of all that life has to offer. We are not isolated from each other in time and space but deeply interconnected. When we work with our mind’s perception of time and space, we open ourselves to higher states of consciousness that remind us that our true nature is to love.

Spirituality is also not opposed to scientific thought, particularly our understanding of time. In fact, science has begun to validate the power of meditation and psychedelics. Eventually, science will come to understand the states of consciousness that modern day healers and mystics routinely experience.
