       This site is undergoing a major reorganization (6/09), so expect some temporary glitches until they're resolved. Thanks for your patience! Here's what's happening. .

        This nonprofit, educational Web site exists to alert you to a widespread toxic personal and family stressor - a cycle of [psychological wounds + unawareness] that silently passes down our generations and weakens our culture. This cycle promotes widespread social problems like abuse, neglect, divorce, crime, abortions, addictions, bigotry, runaways, terrorism, gangs, homelessness, obesity, depression, suicide, and murder. Have any of these affected your family? 

         Based on 30 years' clinical experience and study, the site offers you a seven-lesson course on how to understand and break the cycle and reduce major personal, marital, and family problems. Average mature, "well-educated" adults are unaware of the cycle and its toxic effects. Are you aware of them?

  Suggestions on Using this Site

  • Make freeing your true Self (Lesson 1) your highest ongoing priority. That will maximize your return for investing time and energy in this unique course.

  • Keep a long-range perspective (e.g. the rest of your life) and the open mind of a student. Many  ideas here will differ from what you've been taught. Do not expect these resources to immediately resolve any crises - take your time!.

  • Avoid using these ideas as absolutes. Sense the themes underlying them, and adapt them to fit your unique personality, style, and circumstances.

  • Keep these ageless guidelines in mind as you grow.

  • To avoid feeling overwhelmed by all this information, absorb it in two steps: first...

    • learn the basics in each lesson, one at a time. Treat this learning as you would seven se-quential college courses. The more you learn, the more all topics will make integrated sense to you. Then...

    • apply the combined basics to any significant personal and family problems, starting with freeing your true Self and improving your communication effectiveness. Use these options to assess and resolve any personal or social problem.

  • Identify any specific questions you seek to answer here. Option: keep a log or journal of your questions, thoughts, awarenesses, and feelings, as you explore this site and its guide-books.
