And you won't be able to put him into a box...not any that I know of.
Here a quote from a Sunday morning workshop in 2008:
"Enlightenment is just the beginning, later on come other skills, ...patience, a forgiving nature, extreme attention...."
Yes, in this lifetime and on the apparent human level he's looked like a writer (spiritual, art, science fiction), gamer, game developer, tantric, lover of old books and prints and the ancient civilizations, art- teacher, art dealer, artist, collector, meteorite lover, jeweler, silversmith, printmaker, sculptor, shopkeeper, cook, perfumer, magician, ventriloquist, dancer, musician, impersonator, producer, and has worked in film, on wall street and as undercover for the NSA during the Vietnam war. He's a shapeshifter, a comedian, humorist all of his life and as a way of being...and - he is foremost an employer, an employer in the work. If you need a job, you can apply.
What are your skills, what are you willing to do? Are you ready to serve, are you ready to grow up and start working...or are are you the perpetual student, or one who will show his diplomas but not actually look for a job? If you want a job, apply...
If accepted, it could well feel like sink or swim a lot of the time.
Pay: none that we know of.
And this is where this “school” seems most clearly different from most other “schools”. Not much prep work, but work. No therapy, but work...a certain type of work. Sure, stuff comes up, and you are expected to handle it.

And this is not a secret folks, it's out there. And here's another one: "Transformation is 100% attitudinal."

He works almost only with groups...well, pretty much. And there are good reasons for that.
You have to be exposed to as many types as possible....especially those you don't like or that trigger you.
It's an esoteric school.
It's a multidimensional school.
It's a school with various manifestations and places.
Coming to IDHHB, one current outer form of the school, for a workshop: it's fun, chaos, energizing, life changing, amazing and the one thing folks say most is: they got filled, feel full, they got so much, are so grateful...even as it never is as they expected... Just to be clear, this is not a hand holding type of retreat, a spa. Hospitality is amazing and you do get put to work in some way or the other. If you play an instrument, make sure to bring it along.
Could this work for you? Do you feel something inside that is curious, called...

The American Book of the Dead, ABD
Human Biological Machine, HBM
