So in 1997, she left corporate America and started studying profusely the many alternative healing techniques she now uses to help others.  “Although I was always successful in my previous career, I feel super successful now due to the passion and the connection I feel in my entire being. Enlightening others is what I do.”

I wasn’t aware of how much I was connected with my Spiritual guides until I was in my twenties. I remember as a child I was afraid to be alone in the dark. I was five and my sister, Maureen, was six. I would ask my sister to “think” when we were tucked in for the night.  I somehow knew that if she was thinking, she would be awake allowing me to comfortably go to sleep so I wouldn’t be alone in the dark.

A few years later, while experiencing unpleasant dreams, my guides taught me to think pleasant thoughts to replace the haunting ones in my dreams. I later learned only one conscious thought can be in the mind at any one time. If I thought of something positive and exciting nothing negative could enter the doorway of my mind.

When I was in my teens, I could manifest almost all the things I wanted in life with grace and ease. The manifestations weren’t anything major – good grades in school, an occasional gift, getting the job I applied for – but I felt and noticed that my life appeared to be guided.

I enlisted in the Marine Corps after graduating from high school. I received a  medical discharge after two years for blindness in my right eye. I enrolled in college shortly thereafter and earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Accounting. After graduation, I began my career in the corporate world. Most of my working years were in supervising individuals, coaching, and managing the daily routine using the spiritual techniques taught to me by my spirit guides. I contribute my 35 years of success in the corporate world to a spiritual consciousness in handling my daily business routines, dealing honestly and truthfully, and treating all individuals like family.

When I started to meditate as a young father,  my awareness increased and I realized that the Great White Brotherhood was working with me.  On one occasion while on a business trip, I was guided to go to an old book store  where I reached for a book on the top shelf. It was called First Book of Azrael: Teachings of the Great White Brotherhood (by the Great White Brotherhood and published by Devorss & Co., 1965). Subtle experiences like this were indications to me that I was being guided by the Great White Brotherhood.

Although I worked during the day in the corporate world, I continued to do my spiritual work in the evenings and on weekends. In my late twenties, I followed a four-year study curriculum and became an Ordained Metaphysical Minister.  In that capacity, I occasionally facilitated funerals and weddings.

After a dynamic, spiritually awakening dream visit with the Lords of Amenti, I learned about thoughts. I began facilitating meditation classes which I did for over twenty-five years assisting other in connecting with their Spirit guides. Through the years, I became a Reiki Master and studied in Hawaii to certify as a Kundalini Yoga instructor.

I enhanced my connection with Spirit when I visited to  Peru on several occasions to participate in Shamanic spiritual ceremonies that included  drinking the Shaman plants Ayahuasca and Huachum.

I have come to understand my life in terms of spiritual aspiration.  I was raised as an observant Catholic, I got an undergraduate degree in the history of religions from Brown University.  My own experience of Spirit did not fit neatly into any of the traditional religions and I found my way into esoteric literature and eastern religions after graduation.  

A little later in life, I earned a doctorate in history from the University of Iowa.  I found myself strongly drawn to the practice of astrology, which allowed me to bring together all of my learning, life experience and spiritual aspirations into a single, unifying practice.  Astrology is a universal language.  It enables me to communicate with many people from around the world.  

It also allows me to understand and serve others to the best of my abilities.

STATEMENT OF THE NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION ON GRAND JURY DECISION NOT TO INDICT OFFICER DARREN WILSON:

    The National Bar Association is questioning how the Grand Jury, considering the evidence before them, could reach the conclusion that Darren Wilson should not be indicted and tried for the shooting death of Michael Brown. National Bar Association President Pamela J.  Meanes expresses her sincere disappointment with the outcome of the Grand Jury's decision but has made it abundantly clear that the National Bar Association stands firm and will  be calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to pursue federal charges against officer Darren Wilson. "We will not rest until Michael Brown and his family has justice" states Pamela Meanes, President of the National Bar Association.

    President Meanes is requesting that the citizens of Ferguson, Missouri not allow this decision to cause an unnecessary uproar in the community that could lead to arrests, injuries or even deaths of innocent people. "I am asking for everyone to remain as calm as possible and to join in solidarity as we continue to support the family of Michael Brown and put our legal plan into full effect" says President Meanes  "I feel the magnitude of the grand jury's ruling as Ferguson, Missouri is only minutes from where I reside", adds President Meanes.

    Over the last couple of months, the National Bar Association has hosted Town Hall meetings informing  attendees of their Fourth Amendment (Search & Seizure) constitutional rights, whether it is legal to record police activity, and how citizens should behave/respond if and when they interface with police officers.  "The death of Michael Brown was the last straw and the catalyst for addressing issues of inequality and racial bias in policing, the justice system, and violence against members of minority communities," states Pamela Meanes.

    The family of Michael Brownrequested that District Attorney McCullough step aside and allow a special prosecutor be assigned to the investigation to give the community confidence that the grand jury would conduct a complete and thorough investigation into the tragic shooting death of 18 year old Michael Brown. The grand jury's decision confirms the fear that many expressed months ago - that a fair and impartial investigation would not happen.

    "The National Bar Association is adamant about our desire for transformative justice. While we are disappointed with the grand jury's ruling, we are promoting peace on every street corner around the world. The only way to foster systemic change is to organize, educate, and mobilize. We are imploring everyone to fight against the injustice in Ferguson, Missouri and throughout the United States by banding together and working within the confines of the law," states President Meanes.
