Second, I have been refining my teaching. Here is what I am now expressing… Awakening to freedom, which is the same thing as enlightenment or self-realization, happens when you finally see that everything between your ears—the whole world of thought, belief, of “me, myself, and my story”—is an illusion, yet you, as awareness, the pure, witnessing presence watching, sensing, and experiencing all of this, are still very much here. Realizing this frees you from mental and emotional suffering. It opens you to an endless flow of wisdom, love, and creative energy from within. You discover your true purpose for being here, and connect with others in a way that is authentic, free of fear. Living itself becomes meaningful, rich, and a lot more fun. Using the simple three-step practice from my book, End Your Story, Begin Your Life (www.endyourstory.com),I invite people to experience being present as the luminous awareness they are, free of all stories. From this clear, grounded place we use the power of thought, word, and action to create a new, conscious story for our lives. This includes raising our children with love; finding harmony in our relationships; experiencing peace, if not joy, in our work; taking responsibility for paying our bills and meeting our other commitments; making sure we do what we love, what genuinely inspires us, every day; and, finally, working toward achieving our goals and dreamsLove and blessings, Jim

What People Are Saying About Jim's Work "Jim’s teaching is most similar to Eckhart Tolle, but unlike Tolle, who had an unexpected spontaneous awakening, Jim’s awakening came after years of spiritual seeking. His book, End Your Story, Begin Your Life, makes his teaching easy to relate to and his guidance down to earth and helpful" Lyra Mayfield & Charlie Stein, Boulder, CO "I am really appreciating the practice of stepping back with my awareness. It is simple, powerful, and amazingly effective at releasing stress and emotional tension. In fact, it is magical! Thank you!" Anne Beversdorf, Austin, TX "You completely changed my life. I have practiced your work for over a year. I now realize that I chose to be a victim. No one ever opened the world of wisdom like you." Jan Hamilton, Ph.D., Aspen, CO "There is a very deep presence that has stayed with me after working with you. I am more easily able to come back to the sanctuary of the present than before." Erik Ossell, Big Sur, CA “My experience of Jim was remarkable… Every time I felt conflicted I did as he suggested, and felt a sense of freedom from the story and from the emotional upset. It was profound.” “As a result of Jim’s guidance I have really experienced a much deeper sense of my Being, and feel I am on the threshold of living the freedom he has modeled for me.” Juliana Dahl, Ph.D., Boulder, CO
