When you live in Boca, South Florida, the beach is your heavenly playground year-round.  It also serves as a perfect setting for a date.  Can you imagine anything more romantic than the warmth of the sun on your body, the gentle sound of the waves, the soft breeze touching your skin, and that view into the silvery-jade-blue infinity that simply takes your breath away?  How could you not adore your date in such an intoxicating environment? I had such a date during which time stood still.  But when I expected other such blissful get- togethers, I was in for a huge surprise.  Paul had a Ph.D. in M.E. from CMU.  IQ tests had "categorized" him and his brother as geniuses.  In addition, the love of his life happened to be none other than quantum physics.   Over the following weeks, months, and years, Paul proceeded to talk to me for hours on end about the Einstein-Bohr debates and similar topics – the central mysteries of quantum physics.  I did my very best to comprehend the incomprehensible. However, as time passed on I caught on, and when I did, a passionate flame ignited in me.  Quantum phenomena, my beloved esoteric and metaphysical wisdom traditions, and the development of advanced states of consciousness showed striking similarities and even parallels.  I started blessing the fathers of quantum physics of the past century for their divine inspiration and insight.  I felt like Paul Davies, a renowned physicist, who once said:  "… the new physics offers a surer path to God than religion." Exhilarated with my new passion, I founded a nonprofit organization and called it the Colloquium on Quantum Phenomena, Consciousness, and Being.  I inaugurated several programs and conducted lecture tours in the Colorado Front Range and the greater California Bay area.  I returned to Colorado to conduct workshops in Conscious Creating, Unconditional Happiness™, and Appreciation, which are the practical applications of the organization’s theoretical research.
