I am a home based urban monk.

The above is a jpg photo of my ordained minister's license. Instinctively, I have been following a monk like existence for many years now. I received the above license last August 2012. I decided to follow my own unique form of monkhood as of August 10th 2012. I will follow this way of life until I decide otherwise. I may keep up these practices throughout my life. I do not need a fancy building in which to worship. I follow my practices from my humble abode and out in the world at large, also.

My form of monkhood is not bound by dogma. It is evolving and it is open to change. It's not easy to place a firm label on my monastic way of life. I have spoken with a few friends and family members about views related to my monkhood beliefs, philosophies etc. This resulted in some of my friends and family members giving me strange looks and rolling their eyes at me as though I were crazy. People fear what they don't understand. The main thing is that I can help myself and many others through my beliefs. People are allowed to follow their own religious and philosophical beliefs. Here is a link to a site which gives more info on these universal rights:

If I were to put a name to my monastic way of life, I would label it as such: I am a home based urban monk. I incorporate Remote Influencing in my monastery. I am developing will power, focus, discipline, knowledge, power, healing and faith as a result of my monkhood practices. Incidentally, willpower, focus, discipline, power, healing and faith are part of my 29 Remote Influencing keys. I will provide more info on the 29 RI keys in a future post.

Getting back to the universal rights above, people are allowed to follow their own beliefs, so long as no one is being harmed as a result of those beliefs etc. I have written an interesting article which draws comparisons between monkhood and research. This article is in PDF format. If you're interested in reading this article, please e-mail me and I can then send the article to you.

My School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI, Facebook page.

Hi fellow Remote Influencing (RI) fans. I am sorry I haven't been posting for a while. I have been busy with some research. I believe that the internet can be a powerful tool for remote influencers. I have written a chapter about this topic in my book. Powerful RI energies can be transmitted via the already powerful internet. RI enhances the power of the internet. I have sent my RI energies via the internet on several occasions. The recipients of this RI work had reported that they had felt some extra energy within themselves and within situations they had encountered.

I have created a Facebook page for SOTRI. I am very impressed with the functionality of facebook. For example, great information, links, documents and videos etc can be sent and posted via facebook groups. These groups can be accessed worldwide by anyone with access to the internet. Here is a link to my facebook SOTRI group:

SOTRI is an online alternative school and it is a school of thought. SOTRI is based in essence upon the self directed learning model and distance education. Students will learn my RI system through self study. They will also be encouraged to create a learning project based upon their area of interest. The idea is that RI can and will enhance learning potentials in students. In SOTRI, the lines between student and teacher are blurred. A teacher can be a student and vice versa. I can help students with their learning and training. Students will learn how to become their own teacher, trainer, consultant and coach. I have also incorporated elements of consulting, coaching and training into SOTRI. SOTRI is evolving. It is not dogmatic in nature and it is open and receptive to change.

In have initiated several unique learning projects via SOTRI. I will be more than glad to share some of this info with you. Feel free to contact me and I can send you the info.

There are no fees to join my facebook SOTRI group/school.

My Ordained Minister Status

I received my ordained minister's license on August 13th 2012. Actually, I had an ordained minister's license while I had lived in Mountain View, California several years ago. However, I had misplaced that license, unfortunately.

There are several reasons why I wanted to become ordained. The main reason is because I want to heal, teach and train people through my Remote Influencing (RI) work. I also have a level 1 certificate in Reiki. I received my reiki license in Los Altos, California in 1998. I am not saying that my Remote Influencing system is a religion. However, my RI system does include spiritual elements within it. Here is a link to a copy of my minister's license:

My nephew was kind enough to have scanned a copy of my license:

School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI web site.

My School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI web site is live. It actually went live on June 21st 2012. I have been busy for a while and that is why I didn't get around to writing about the site until today. Here is a link to my site:

http://www.schooloftheremoteinfluencer.com

This is the first school of its kind. The idea behind SOTRI is to show students how they can learn my Remote Influencing system in a self-directed manner. The students can learn how to teach and train themselves. I have blended in Remote Influencing with self-directed learning, unschooling, the self-help model, DIY elements and more. SOTRI is hard to label and I don't like to use firm labels as it is.

Remote Influencing is about making things happen and attaining results, making improvements and creating change. These are just some of the things that RI can do. I have also blended in elements of consulting into SOTRI. I will elaborate. In consulting, projects are created and used so as to demonstrate knowledge and proficiency. In SOTRI, students learn RI and they then create a unique learning project based upon the area of their interest, talents etc. I may also ask students to write a report or a small essay to highlight how SOTRI and RI have helped them. These projects can lead to new jobs, opportunities, consulting assignments etc. A project could be a business idea the student is working on, a new web site, blog, an invention, a report which provides information on how the student could improve a product or a service. We can be creative and come up with unique and challenging projects. These projects will help to develop sought after skills in further education and in one's professional life also.

SOTRI is growing, evolving and improving over time. We, I say we because I too am a student of SOTRI; we can help with the growth and evolution of SOTRI through the exchange of ideas etc. This is where the group aspect comes into play. I urge students to create their own SOTRI groups. These groups can be linked together via the internet. In SOTRI, we can be both student and teacher and we can facilitate learning for others also. Students can create their own ideal model of SOTRI based upon their own likes, interests etc. I do not believe in dogma and I don't like to set things in stone. When we do this, we limit growth. I can offer a level 1 certificate upon completion of the course. However, this will not be accredited. In all honesty, I do not have the funds to apply for accreditation. The most important thing that the students will gain is knowledge and power. Here is a logo for SOTRI:

I will be more than glad to send interested students some info on a few of my past and present projects via PDF attachments and/or web links etc. I have a few more SOTRI logo's also. Students can use these logo's to create their own sweatshirts, t-shirts hats etc.

The Remote Influencer Consulting Solution - TRICS

I have created a new and unique form of Remote Influencing (RI) consulting. The idea behind TRICS consulting is to help clients through the power of The Remote Influencer archetype. It is a bit of a long name but it serves a purpose. The RI consultant utilizes the skills of The Remote Influencer archetype.

TRICS is somewhat eclectic in nature. It is evolving and improving over time also. TRICS can blend in with life coaching, training and other forms of personal development as well. You can find more info on TRICS in my new Facebook web site:
