ADDITIONAL POINTERS
I am creating a landmark turn in my personal journey of Conscious Evolution.
A fascinating and super-exciting phase of re-positioning, re-engineering, and re-formatting.
Here are some additional pointers:
1. I will re-write my biography on the web, ending not with “Training” but directing the readers to the brand new subject of Conscious Evolution.
2. I will make video intros for each course, and have them transcribed in printed form. They will be uploaded to YouTube.
3. I will “come out of the closet” with regard to the teaching of Chinese Psychology.
4. I will make videos for “Intro to Chinese Psychology”, “Tao of the Land” and “Ba Zhi”, delineating the Depth Psychology content of each course, especially the Jungian aspects.
54.The new website will definitely carry my personal signature !!!
6.Since I am doing personal and corporate re-positioning, I will in the days to come develop a new set of transformational tools: interpreting traditional myths in the light of Conscious Evolution:
a. Journey to the West (Monkey King)
b.Fung Sheng Bon
c. Buddhist Stories
d.Taoist Stories
e. Western myths
7. Of course, the “productization” of existing courses into e-courses would be a priority because that will allow me the required time to develop these tools.
8. My deepest gratitude to you all for your commitment and devotion. Blessings.
