Ideas on human conscious evolution in terms of an approach I've developed which I call Spectrum Counseling; this involves: conflict resolution, martial arts, meditation methods, mindbody strategies, and tranformational learning. This effort is for human beings who wish to encourge, stimulate, discover, and explore the potential of conscious evolution within themselves.

An experience of Initiation in terms of Dzogchen:
Some years ago I attended a series of seminars on Tibetan Buddhism - Dzogchen Teachings - at Columbia University. This presentation on wisdom was given by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu. I used the seminars as partial fulfillment of requirements for a Ph.D. degree in, Transpersonal Psychology and Communications, at The Union Institute & University. At the seminar's end, I waited patiently with others, each in turn, to have a brief, personal audience with Rinpoche. I remember one lady showing him photographs of a child, and asking him for healing blessings for the youngster. I wanted to thank him for his teachings, and if possible, shake his hand. When my turn came, I approached Rinpoche, who was seated. I extended my hand, he took it, and we shook hands. I remember clasping his hand in both of mine, and saying, "Thank you, Rinpoche," as I looked directly into his eyes. For a brief time, with respect to my immediate perception, his eyes changed color, from normal, to crimson red with points of white light sparkling in them. That direct experience gave me a sense of having been exposed to a tacit dimension of being beyond the common space-time continuum.
