BURNING QUESTION?
Stephen K. Hayes’ extraordinary quest began with an extraordinary question: How can I protect myself and others from real danger?
When the sport martial art training he received as a young man in the US didn’t have all the answers, he took a risk and moved to Japan seeking the secret teachings of the ninja—and found them! And when he realized that physical protection wasn’t enough, he applied himself to the study of esoteric mind-sciences which led him to India and Tibet. All the while he challenged himself to develop the most effective ways to share what he learned with people seeking a brighter world.
Stephen often reminds students: always have a burning question. Know what you’re searching for—this week, this season, this lifetime.
