Tom Thompson

I am a teacher of conscious living. I meet with people privately and in groups, helping them discover what is true and most important for them. Ultimately, when we recognize what is really true, life is no longer a problem and we are free to live happy, fulfilling lives.

Since the age of sixteen I have been a student of human psychology and a practitioner of Buddhism, the yogic pathways and enlightenment traditions. I have had the great fortune of training with a number of exceptional teachers in several traditions over many years in the United States, Canada and India.

During the time I was pursuing spiritual training, I was a mental health worker in psychiatry and an EMT. I trained in transactional analysis, redecision therapy, personality adaptations and related subjects at the Southeast Institute, and was certified as a clinical hypnotherapist (I am really a de-hypnotist, as most of us are already profoundly hypnotized!) and an Energy Diagnosis and Treatment Methods Practitioner. I am also an Interfaith Minister.

After years of profound spiritual experiences, a deep awakening occurred that led to the spontaneous collapse and falling away of all identification with spiritual and psychological belief systems, traditions, gurus, concepts and the experience of a separate, unique, individual self.

Now there is simply presence-awareness, this as it is, and as it appears to happen.

The teachings of conscious living that I offer are direct, obvious, all-inclusive, and self-evident. There is nothing to be believed or accepted. These teachings point to the reality of our awakening and living as the truth of our being — now.
