Participating in the Altruism Revolution

We live in a rare moment of rapid change. A dramatic revolution in how people think, see life and interact with each other and all of nature is underway.

We are becoming a world of people who know themselves deeply, live authentically, express freely and accept their whole range of emotions, thoughts and experience. We will live in connection without fearing each other and without hiding parts of ourselves. We are discovering that when we prioritize emotional needs, physical needs take care of themselves, and in that way we are becoming a world without poverty or senselessly inflicted suffering.

We’re all participating in the Altruism Revolution on one way or another. Even those of us who will die in the old mindset of personal gain and individual glory serve the revolution by creating contrast and motivation for the rest of us to leave that dog eat dog world behind.

And that’s what I’m about, helping us to learning to love and be loved as our core selves. We are becoming a deeply connected people, attuned to each other’s needs and boundaries, resonating with each other’s feelings and less concerned with thought. I help us to see that we yearn to participate selflessly in life by helping each other awaken to the reality that we are one with each other and all of life, and the joy of losing ourselves in that reality.

I experienced constant emotional suffering for the first 40 years of my life, and I suffer a lot less today.

During that time I constantly worked on one project; figuring out what was wrong with me and why I couldn’t maintain relationships and meet my emotional needs.

For about two decades I was a relentless seeker, exploring countless self-help techniques, spiritual paths and I always had some guru or teacher in my earbuds.

Today I know that there was never anything wrong with me, that I was merely trapped in my own unprocessed grief and limiting beliefs.

Of the over 100 tools I’ve explored, 3 have stuck with me. They are:

  • IFS Parts Work (with integrated somatics, attachment theory and neurophysiology)

  • Plant Medicines and the integrated psychedelic experience

  • Gene Keys - a lightweight nondogmatic highly potent spiritual path

These are the methods I use and practice today for my own development and to contribute to the development of others.

I’m 43 years old, have 3 adult kids and I’m married for the second time, this time happily. I’ve been a small business owner most of my life in the software space. When I’m not improving my mental health coaching skills I like to camp, work in my wood shop or do construction projects on my Arizona property.

My life has been marked by:

  • Serial Relationship Failures

  • Addiction Struggles

  • Sexual Issues

  • Divorce & Family Blending Challenges

  • Inability to Connect with my Children

  • Inability to Focus & Career Problems

  • Bankruptcy, Foreclosure & Chronic Financial Challenges

  • Intense Shame & Inner Criticism

  • Isolation and Loneliness

  • Religious Trauma

  • Childhood Physical and Emotional Abuse
