    Self empowerment presented in this book should not be construed as an exclusive method of confronting and handling or resolving medical, psychological, social and spiritual problems. It should be viewed as an alternative, complementary method to the use of mainstream medical or psychological treatment, unless contrary medical advice is given.

    Foreword

    The summer of 2008 is one I will never forget. After nearly completing my undergraduate studies in International Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University in Virginia, I decided to do a summer abroad and leave for the Philippines for four weeks while afterwards continuing a personal journey through the rest of Southeast Asia. The trip was entitled Grassroots Peacebuilding, Environmental Issues, and Culture. Little did I know this summer expedition throughout Southeast Asia would mark the beginning in what I believe is my calling in life: helping others, or as others may know it, humanitarian work.

    Self-empowerment is about knowledge, the desire and strength in furthering your creativity, thoughts, and ideas. As we grow older we gain more insight about our World, the people in it, and the issues it may have. Life is not always easy. In fact, it can be rather difficult at times, but as you learn and read about certain challenges embrace them. Learn from them. Challenge yourself and move on. It is always easier said than done so allow yourself to accept the help provided by others. Through my experiences, I have found that the ways in which we act among each other is a mere reflection on how we view ourselves.

    Self-empowerment is about believing in yourself; taking knowledge you have obtained and using it to the best of your ability. My experience in the Philippines and Southeast Asia opened my eyes. After hearing countless stories of people young and old, I have decided to take that knowledge and strengthen my desire in helping others, thereby solidifying my passion in humanitarian work and empowering myself to the best of my ability.

    During my time in the Philippines in 2008, I attended a class at the Mindanao Peacebuilding Institute in Mindanao, the second largest island in the Philippines. This is where Ted and I first met. We both attended a class called the Fundamentals of Peacebuilding. It was here that Ted and myself shared some of our life experiences, thoughts and stories about life, and created a mutual respect and understanding about the World we live in today. I was absolutely thrilled when Ted asked me to write the Foreword for this incredible book and I hope you enjoy and benefit from it as much as I have.

    Chapter 1 Quantum Evolution

    In the middle part of the 20th century, the concept of empowerment was rarely mentioned in college textbooks and non-fiction paperbacks. But the concept of social power or power to the people, as an offshoot of political power has become popular especially in the early 1970s when political activism was coming to its height in many parts of the world.

    The concept itself was never used as a formal subject in the 1960s but was associated with the ideas of marginalization and equal opportunity relative to human rights and civil rights. In 1990, the Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM) was first introduced by the United Nations Development Programme in its Human Development Report. The GEM was a measure of the inequalities between men and women in a country on three areas, namely: (a) political participation and decision making, (b) economic participation and decision making, and (c) power over economic resources.

    The Woodstock Festival held in Bethel, New York; in Sullivan County; and in Woodstock, New York in 1969, the three days of peace and music that captivated the attention of the world led to the radicalization of the human spirit that had in all likelihood inspired some individuals in the United States to undertake experiments in mind expansion through various means. This period also saw the rise of the counterculture movement and the widespread use of psychedelic drugs.

    By the early 1970s, the influence of Eastern thought and religions (i.e., Vedanta Teachings, Buddhism and Taoism) through meditation and yoga was becoming more pronounced especially among the young people of the West. One New Age guru who attracted international following especially from westerners was Chandra Mohan Jain, popularly known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

    In 1972, pioneer inner space explorer Dr. John Lilly published two books out of his experience using LSD and ketamine in an isolation tank, titled, Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer: Theory and Experiments and The Center of the Cyclone. His famous quote was, In the province of the mind, there are no limits. He later trained with a spiritual leader Oscar Ichazo in Chile, and Lilly claimed to have attained the highest spiritual levels of Samadhi-Satori, a spiritual state that is more or less parallel to the Christian experience of rapture or grace and enlightenment by the Holy Spirit.

    American novelist Aldous Leonard Huxley who wrote Brave New World was a practitioner of Vedanta and an advocate of psychedelics and used mescaline, an active ingredient of peyote, and who described his psychedelic experiences in his book, Doors of Perception in 1955. But before John Lilly, Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley and the other American experimenters of inner space exploration came, Europe was already ahead by about 54 years when G.I. Gurdjieff and a philosopher associate P.D. Ouspensky organized the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man and emphasized a drug-free approach through the methods of self-observation, conscious labor and voluntary suffering.

    Gurdjieff published Meetings with Remarkable Men in 1917, while Ouspensky produced In Search of the Miraculous in about the same year. Before the 1930s, Gurdjieff published two books, titled, Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson and Life is Real Only Then When ‘I Am.’ The mid to the late 1960s was a transition point in the evolution of human consciousness exploration with the publication of the experiences of American anthropologist Carlos Castañeda, the most prolific so far who wrote ten books on his research on psychotropic plants and his encounter with a Yaqui Indian in the Sonora Desert, beginning with The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge followed by A Separate Reality.

    In the same vein, another American anthropologist from the University of California, Michael Harner wrote about his experiences with the Jivaro and Conibo Indians of the Upper Amazon, using the natural hallucinogenic concoction ayahuasca that led him to explore the underworld and discover the Shamanic State of Consciousness (SSC), quite similar to the non-ordinary world of Carlos Castañeda.
