For years, we’ve wanted a book we could recommend to awakening souls — a manual that clearly spells out how to do two fundamental things.
These two foundations of awakening are so simple, we often overlook them in our fascination with the endless complexities of the spiritual path. But from 30 years of supporting the process of awakening, we know for sure that the core of awakening can be described in just a few words. As we awaken, we release who and what we are not, and remember who we are. Sounds good, right? But how do we actually DO that? Anyone who has tried to let go of a troublesome inner dynamic knows the process isn’t always simple. This book distills all that we’ve learned about how awakening happens. It gathers the wisdom gained through 30 years of facilitating awakening into one simple-to-read volume. Along with the words, there are also guided inner Experiences you can download — for free. You will not only READ this book, you will directly EXPERIENCE everything it presents. It is a living journey of transformation and awakening. More than words, it contains a transmission of possibility to catalyze your journey of awakening. This is how you will live into the next steps in your awakening. Awakening doesn’t need to be difficult. Taking Off Overcoats will walk you through the process of letting go of who you are not, so you can more fully live as the eternal, divine Self that you are. Isn’t that what we all want most? So, how would you like to read Taking Off Overcoats? Paperback or Kindle However you purchase the book, it includes a link to the FREE mp3s for all of the guided inner Experiences. These Experiences bring alive everything the book says. When you engage with them, you will be directly experiencing awakening. Interacting with these Experiences as you read the book powerfully catalyzes awakening. If you feel that the time to awaken is NOW, this book is for you. And if you’ve been on a journey of awakening for some time, this book will expedite experiencing even more freedom, aliveness, and radiance! ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ Have you been on a spiritual path, yet do not feel deeply rooted in who you truly are? Do "unfinished issues" seem to be in the way of your spiritual awakening? Have you read a lot about the true Self, or soul, but have not directly experienced your core divine essence? Do you sometimes feel discouraged and overwhelmed by the unresolved traumas of the past? Do you yearn to commune with Source and rest more fully in the limitless ocean of the Divine? Are you feeling compelled to more fully realize your true, divine nature NOW? |

The Shift From self to Self
The core of the spiritual journey is awakening to who we really are and consciously communing with the Divine in us.
This is the shift from perceiving ourselves as the egoic, human self, with its fears, limitations and self-judgments, to knowing we are a Luminous Self, with its limitless divine capacities and qualities.
The core of our work is directly experiencing your true, divine nature, and progressively embodying That.
Everything we offer — modules, private sessions, groups and teleconferences — is designed to support you in the all-important shift from believing you are a small, human self to knowing you are a vast, magnificent Self.
Why is this so important?
Awakening to the Self is "One-stop Shopping."
All that we seek "out there" already lies within us, waiting to be discovered.
The peace, joy, abundance, love, fulfillment, and freedom we yearn to experience are essential aspects of our true Self.
These and many more divine qualities and capacities naturally flower as we deepen communion with our true nature.
Problems, challenges, conflicts, and dis-ease multiply when we are not living from our essential Self.
Creating a deeply fulfilling life is not possible as long as we think we can do so by making changes “out there.”
So-called objective, "outer reality" is but a holographic projection of our inner state.
When we are asleep to who we really are, our inner fear, pain, and conflict inevitably manifest in our outer lives.
As we come to know that we are a vast, Luminous Self, not a small, limited human being, everything in our lives begins to rearrange to express our divine nature.
Ego-distortions give way to the coherence and harmony of the Self, which is rooted in the Divine.
Who we are becomes the answer to every question.
It is not an exaggeration to state that we are all awakening Buddhas, Krishnas, and Christs.
These and other Great Ones were not fundamentally different from us.
They simply demonstrated what lies within each of us, waiting to be discovered and expressed.
Buddha insisted, "All beings have Buddha nature."
Christ Jesus promised, "Greater works than these shall ye do."
This is our ultimate destiny as souls.
This is how personal and planetary heaven on earth unfolds.

Awakening Is Not A Once-And-Done Experience
It is a progressive, ongoing process that unfolds over time.
What you receive from this work will exactly mirror your level of commitment to awakening.
If you approach this work with a deep consecration to awakening — if awakening is more important than anything else in life for you — you will experience the greatest benefits from everything we offer.
Powerful shifts typically occur during even one Luminous Self session.
But if you engage with this work as a cumulative process, you will find that momentum grows over time.
Progressing through the Modules and a series of private sessions, you will experience all the places in consciousness that are a part of you — and therefore a part of your unique process of awakening.
We’ve been blessed with inner technologies of consciousness to help you master the two primary facets of awakening:
1) Moving through shadow material, ego-resistance, and all other forms of suffering
2) Knowing who you really are through communing with the divinity in the core of your being
Awakening to who we truly are is the whole point of human life — the goal that pulls us back to Earth, lifetime after lifetime.
There is nothing more important than this!

Why Work With Us?
Simply put, our presence catalyzes awakening.
For several decades, our lives have been dedicated to awakening.
Each of us has been blessed with many profound experiences of awakening.
As a result, we are able to directly induct others into powerful experiences of the multidimensional, Luminous Self.
Our state of consciousness functions like a tuning fork.
Since we primarily rest in the true Self, others easily enter into that space in consciousness in our presence.
Our journeys of awakening have included the vastest realms of light and the darkest depths of despair and hopelessness.
We’ve learned how to meet whatever arises with love and acceptance, and that, too, becomes easier for others in our presence.
Our balanced, integrated approach to awakening includes all levels and dimensions of being, from the highest super-conscious realms to the depths of the subconscious.
Decades of facilitating sessions enable us to hold a deep, vast, loving, and clear space in energy~consciousness.
This helps you to face and embrace the core patterns of your suffering and move through your “stuff” into greater Self-Realization.
We know what works.
We show you the easiest, most effective ways to move through the ego-resistance that arises on the way to the soul.
And the most important thing we want you to know is this:
The Universal Christ overlights our work.
During sessions, groups, and teleconferences,
the blessing~grace and Resurrecting Power of the Christ pour in to accomplish what no mere humans could ever bring about.
We also call upon many Ascended Masters and divine beings to help you move through your traumas and suffering and awaken.
We know that we are not the ones making things happen.
The Divine does everything through us.
And through you!
