~ Mark Francis Dodich

Mark Dodich has provided Astrology and Intuitive Consultations since 1980. Mark holds a C.A.P. (Certified Astrological Professional) from ISAR (International Society of Astrological Research). He is past president of the Oregon Astrological Association, publishes his own newsletter, and is regularly featured in the media.

Mark is a regular speaker on astrological topics at conferences, fairs, and metaphysical venues. He provides his work internationally from his base in Portland, Oregon.

Mark is heard on on radio programs numerous times each year, and is on "Let's Find Out" every quarter at the Equinox or Solstice.

Metaphysical subjects and techniques that empower spiritual growth are a continual source of interest for Mark. His interest in esoteric subjects started while attending Kent State University, near his birthplace in Canton, Ohio. Mark was fascinated with the study of so-called primitive African tribes that could do telepathy, healing, and even had specific knowledge of stars that were not visible to the naked eye before the telescope was invented. He also studied a local spiritualist church camp to understand intuitive abilities, which he later learned were active in the elders of his own family (Catholics, in those days, did not speak of such things!).

Further studies included a healer/counselor certificate, and then a ministry certificate from the Arizona Metaphysical Society, Frank Alper, and the Church of Tzaddi (I am no longer affiliated with the church, and Frank has since made transition). Mark was a board member of the Church of Alice, a spiritualist church, for over 8 years. Mark also took numerous Native America-style medicine wheel training's from Sun Bear and other shamanistic teachings He is a past president of the Oregon Astrological Assn. (two terms) and past treasurer.

“There are two types of people...interested and interesting”.

Edward J. Evans

Edward died and started toward the Light at the age of 19, and has been exterior to his body 3 times, that he is aware of. He was married to the same beautiful woman for 60 years, and spent fifteen years in Scientology, but quit because they couldn't back up their claims...Edward has done several hundred hours of past life regression, and was there when Jesus was crucified!

He is the author of "The Truth Shall Set You Free" and "My Journey Beyond The Bizarre".

Edward is 87 years young :) He was born in Sioux City, Iowa in 1932. His Father died 10 days before his 4th birthday, and his Mother paid a Dakota Sioux Indian family pennies a day to babysit him so she could work. They moved to California in his uncles 1928 Chevrolet Touring car in 1938. He attended three different grade schools and three different High Schools. He had twenty-one different jobs before settling down and marrying his High School Sweetheart at the age of twenty-one.

 

Edward’s first out of body experience happened at the age of five years old. He was in a dentist's chair and left his body to search for his Mother.  His second out of body experience happened in Long Beach, California at the age of eighteen years old. His 1948 Harley Davidson motorcycle broke both chains and locked the rear wheel, throwing Edward over the handlebars without a helmet. The road rash was severe, to say the least.  

 

Edward went to work for Douglas Aircraft Corporation and at the age of nineteen was killed along with nine others due to a large curing oven explosion that sent him flying through the air for sixty feet landing on the edge of a work table.  A round trip to the light followed.

He went to college and became a Research and Development Electronics Engineer on the Minuteman Missile project and the Apollo Spacecraft project for a total of fifteen years. After this he worked as a Field Service Engineer for the Gardner Denver Corporation for nine years, flying all over the country teaching customers how to operate and maintain the company’s computer-controlled equipment that they purchased. After this, he created, owned and operated his own electronic assembly company for thirty-two years, called Sierra Assembly Services Inc.

 

Edward now lives alone. He lost his eldest Daughter in 2009 to lung cancer and lost his Wife of sixty years in 2012 to Dementia aggravated by a broken hip. His youngest Daughter, two Granddaughters, and three Great Grandsons give him lots of love, attention, and purpose.

Both James and his wife, Steph, have overcome the deepest darkest moments of their lives to create amazing lives. Fast forward 15 years, after many ups and downs and a lot of hard work, they recently sold their tech company, one of the world’s largest construction software companies! They have created a personal evolution company called Powerful U, along with producing a film, book, and assessment to help others transform their lives through evolving their Perceptions.  The book is titled Perception: Seeing is Not Believing and it's available now on Amazon and Barnes and Noble's websites.  

James and Steph’s journey of transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. Before they met 15 years ago, both of their lives had hit rock bottom. They were both financially, emotionally, and spiritually bankrupt. Life had beaten them down and shattered their self-esteem. At the lowest point in their lives, they met and were united by a shared vision of creating and becoming more. They started the only place they could by working on themselves and helping each other grow. They challenged each other every step of the way, and never settled.

Shortly after meeting, Steph wrote James’ first resume and taught him how to send an email. This began James’ unlikely career in technology. Around this time, they also started a family. Fast forward fifteen years, after many ups and downs and a lot of hard work, Steph and James recently sold their tech company, one of the world’s largest construction software companies. They now have five beautiful children and live an extraordinary life. Through this journey of self-creation, they developed a personal philosophy centered around perception. They believe perception, more than any other factor, will determine how someone’s life will turn out. James and Steph started Powerful U as their way to give back to the world.  

Their mission is to provide a roadmap for people to master their perceptions and their emotions to become the conscious creators of their lives. According to James and Steph, “Everything you see and experience is determined by your perception, and your emotions give your life the only meaning it has.”

James and Steph Purpura are seekers who find the state of humanity inadequate. They believe the unrealized potential of the individual is both the source and solution to this problem. Their goal is to inspire fellow seekers to tap into their unlimited potential, through a personalized combination of philosophy, science, technology, and community.
