I love to say “I’m a little bit Deepak and a little bit Tupac.” I am a former stand-up comedian with an inspiring story of overcoming trauma, emotional/mental issues, and heavy drug addiction that got me into plenty of trouble and had me stuck in the USA’s “sickcare” system for decades. I now live a life filled with joy and just published my first book Sourcery 101: 13 Rungs to a Higher Elevation of Consciousness. The misspelling of sorcery is purposeful because becoming a Sourcerer is not about casting spells, it is about using Source energy to heal trauma and manifest a thriving new life. My backstory is weaved together with lots of humor, pop culture metaphors, and insight to create a unique system of healing that was inspired by the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. However, unlike AA, the 13 rungs of Sourcery do not discriminate between the symptoms of soul sickness. A Sourcerer recognizes that the overuse of our phones and a hyper focus on the material world can be just as destructive to the soul as drugs and alcohol. Each specific symptom, such as addictions to gambling, food, shopping, sex, drugs, etc., as well as most forms of what is referred to as “chronic illness,” all branch out from the same root cause: spiritual bankruptcy.
