Let’s dive in and discover how to align your spiritual calling with your everyday world.

My Journey into the Occult

My path began in the 1970s as a child haunted by paranormal encounters—poltergeist activity, vivid dreams, and possible interdimensional contacts. These unsettling experiences drove me to seek guidance. In 1990, I met my mentor, Charles, whom I later dubbed “the godfather of psionics” due to his upbringing in Chicago. He taught me to channel my experiences through psionics, a practice using mental focus and everyday tools like radios to influence reality. I ghostwrote for one of his books (edited a couple other books of his and republished in print), contributed ideas on geometric energy patterns (the telepathic node or magic telepathy rod, VPG-1), and explored quantum-like mysteries we kept secret (See: "The Miraculous Prayer Board"). My global travels and diverse trades—from hospital security to teaching, to engineering documentation, to online article writing—shaped my understanding of the occult’s universal appeal.

Your journey is unique, but like me, you can find balance through the right practices which I will outline for you in this article.
