2005–2012: David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.

Dr. David R. Hawkins was a world-renowned author, spiritual teacher, and consciousness researcher. His work represents the leading edge of exploring consciousness and the verification of spiritual realities, including the author’s own profound realizations and transformations.

Dr. Hawkins’ approach was unique—he could describe advanced states of consciousness with clarity and precision, drawing from both his own spiritual journey and his scientific and clinical expertise. This rare combination allowed him to articulate the ineffable in ways that are accessible and understandable.

A nationally recognized physician, researcher, and lecturer, he authored over nine books translated into more than 20 languages. His best-known works include Power vs. Force and Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender, as well as his groundbreaking Map of Consciousness. His life was devoted to the upliftment of humanity and the alleviation of suffering.

2010–2015: Nathan Schwartz-Salant, Ph.D.

Dr. Nathan Schwartz-Salant was a Jungian analyst with a doctorate in Engineering Science from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich. His work uniquely blends rational-scientific approaches, mythological consciousness, and aperspectival awareness—a fourth-dimensional consciousness. He practiced psychoanalysis for over forty years in New York and New Jersey, bringing five decades of experience to his work.

He is the author of The Mystery of Human Relationship: Alchemy & the Transformation of the Self, The Borderline Personality: Vision & Healing, and The Black Nightgown: The Fusional Complex & the Unlived Life, and the editor of Jung on Alchemy.

Daniel considers Nathan to be one of the most original and embodied Post-Jungian analysts, whose work advanced and complemented Jung’s teachings in unprecedented ways. Nathan was Daniel’s psychoanalyst from 2010 to 2015, guiding him through profound personal and professional transformation.

2012–2022: Ron Young

Ron Young’s work is the culmination of a lifetime devoted to exploring the Nature of Reality and guiding others Home—to their Spirit Within. His path is a full and continuous immersion, honed through years of dedicated service to those seeking guidance, healing, and creative visioning.

As a Spiritual Guide, Ron helps each student uncover their unique gifts and move toward the Self with patience and care, always grounded in the Power of Love. There are no shortcuts, fixed methods, or comfort zones—transformation occurs through direct, untainted perception of reality, guided by Spirit.

Each journey is unique, and the work touches deep layers of consciousness that remain impassable for many. Through this process, students are invited to awaken fully to their inherent potential and the gifts they were endowed with for this life.

2012–2017: William A. Tiller, Ph.D.

Dr. William A. Tiller was Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University. Over his distinguished career, he published more than 250 conventional scientific papers, authored three books, and held several patents.

In parallel with his mainstream scientific work, Dr. Tiller spent over 30 years pioneering the field of psychoenergetics—a domain exploring how human consciousness interacts with physical reality. In this emerging area, he published an additional 100 scientific papers and four groundbreaking books, including Science and Human Transformation, which introduces the concept of subtle energies beyond the four fundamental forces, working in concert with human consciousness. He also appeared in the 2004 film What the Bleep Do We Know!?

For more than five decades, Dr. Tiller explored how conscious and focused intention could influence physical matter to address challenges facing humanity. He was Daniel’s doctoral supervisor, guiding his research into the effects of targeted broadcasted intentionality on healing and the evolution of human consciousness.

2015–2023: Steve Hardison

Steve Hardison is a mentor like no other. He does not have a traditional biography—he does not write or give talks. Working with Steve is a choice to go big or go home. My experience with him has been one of the most sacred of my life. Steve embodies pure solar power, pure Love, pure Integrity, and pure Creation.

Time with Steve is deeply personal—a dialogue with the Universe. Imagine sitting at the edge of existence, peering into the unknown. His coaching moves one to higher levels of awareness, but perhaps the greatest lesson he has imparted is the value of mentoring itself. Miracles emerge when we are open and vulnerable to the vastness of what is possible. Everything seems within reach when we connect with someone who lives without fear or limitation—someone who embodies the divine masculine, the archetype of the “good king,” balancing confidence and humility perfectly. He owns both his divinity and his humanity.

Steve is a mind surgeon and soul orthodontist, gifted in hearing and seeing what others cannot. He exemplifies Service, Commitment, and Love. He is one of the most Christlike individuals I have ever encountered. I am radically a better man because of him. He has shown me that there is only one relationship—the one with Self—and when that relationship is healed, all other relationships transform.
