You’ve written much about your past failures and what you learned from them. You’ve also written that your life is going very smoothly today, both internally and externally. But surely there must be some areas of your life that you’re struggling with right now. What are they? Maybe your readers could help you if you [...]
Where do you live?
Las Vegas. It seemed a good place to honor my Catholic upbringing.
What’s your favorite color?
Blue. But I happen to be colorblind, so my blue might be a little different than yours.
What’s your favorite food?
Bananas.
Here’s my own banana shake recipe: Blend 2 frozen bananas (quartered), a handful of walnuts (about 10 walnut halves), 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, [...]
I see that your wife is offering readings on her site now. What’s the deal with that?
Earlier this year Erin and I attended a spirituality seminar where we had the opportunity to try doing intuitive/psychic readings of other people. We’ve been developing our intuitive abilities throughout our 12-year relationship (has it really been 12 years???), but this was the [...]
Don’t you think it’s unprofessional to cover topics like psychic readings and spirit guides?
Not to the spirits.
Given the size of this site’s audience, I fully accept that some articles won’t resonate with certain people. Personally I don’t see that as a problem but rather as a fact to be accepted.

What religion are you?
I don’t identify myself with any particular belief system, philosophy, or religion, so this question doesn’t have any meaning for me. Just as your computer wouldn’t identify itself as the software it runs, I don’t identify myself as the beliefs I hold in my consciousness. I strive to install and understand lots of different beliefs, [...]
How you do deal with a situation where you do your very best to help someone, but they refuse to apply your solution even when it’s virtually guaranteed to work? What do you do when you lead the horse to water, but it stubbornly refuses to drink, even to its own detriment?
When you lead a horse to water [...]
What is your technical background/history?
When I was 10 years old, I was introduced to Apple II BASIC programming via an after school program. I instantly loved it and never looked back. A few years later, my parents bought an Atari 800 computer with a disk drive, and I quickly claimed it as my own. I subscribed to a [...]
You’ve alluded in past posts that there are even more things you’re involved with regarding psychic phenomena than you have written about. I’ve gotten the sense that you are holding back some things. Is my hunch right? What are you dying to tell us (your readers) about psychic phenemena that you feel would really challenge [...]
What’s there for personal development in astral traveling? Is it worthwhile to pursue the astral world and neglect the physical world?
I first learned about real astral projection in 1994. Before that I only knew the phony version as depicted in movies and computer games. For me astral exploration was a natural extension of lucid dreaming, although the two experiences are quite [...]
How do you tell the difference between what your intuition is telling you vs. what your ego is telling you? Which should you listen to?
This is usually a significant challenge at first. It takes practice to recognize the difference between genuine intuitive guidance and ego-based messages.
Here are some pointers that may help you tell one from the other:
Fear vs. [...]
