Legacy & Foundation

Amongst the most enduring symbols of Freemasonry is the Rough Ashlar, the stone newly taken from the quarry. It is uneven and unshaped, still marked by the force of its extraction. Its edges are jagged, its surface irregular, its form undefined. Yet within that coarse exterior lies hidden order. The stone is not without value because it is rough. It is simply unfinished. Freemasonry is often described as a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated through symbols. 

The allegory is both direct and demanding. The Rough Ashlar represents the human being in a natural state. Each of us enters life with strength and capacity, yet also with ignorance, impulse, fear, pride, and unexamined habits. Like the stone, we possess structural potential, but that potential is realized only through deliberate refinement. Without discipline, the material remains raw.

The Perfect Ashlar represents the completion of that refinement. It is the stone squared, aligned, and polished through the steady use of proper tools. In symbolic terms, it reflects a person who has committed to self examination, education, and moral discipline. The roughness has not been denied but shaped. The result is clarity, stability, and alignment with a greater design. The individual becomes capable of supporting something beyond himself.

Across the world, more people are searching for direction. Many feel called to elevate their lives and eventually help others do the same. I do not position myself as a guru. I stand as someone with lived experience, tested perspective, and a genuine commitment to those who are ready to do real work. I also feel called to build a company properly from the ground up, to license it correctly, to meet my tax obligations, and to create something legitimate and lasting.

Mentorship is a serious commitment between two people, and I treat it as such. For that reason, I work with no more than twelve individuals at a time. Investment reinforces commitment. When you place real value on your growth, you show up differently. Pricing details will be discussed during our introduction call, where we will determine together whether this path is good for each of us. If it is, then you will receive a welcome package with the tools necessary for success, including an original piece of artwork from my good friend Maggie McKay.

If I believe another mentor would better serve you, I will say so without hesitation. The goal is your advancement. Your clarity. Your elevation. The fact that you are reading these words suggests that something within you already recognizes the need for movement. That recognition is the first act of discipline and is essential to the work. If an area of your life requires attention, it will be addressed directly.

If your health is compromised, we will confront it not to diminish you but because your well-being matters. Confidence and clarity are built on physical health and that begins with daily habits. The aim is not rapid transformation but sustainable improvement because health is foundational.

You will carry a Goal Card and bring it to every session. We will continue working until it is realized. I adopted this discipline from Bob Proctor, whose teachings on belief and manifestation fundamentally expanded my understanding of reality. The principle is simple. Clarity repeated with conviction reshapes direction. This is a fact.

During our time together, we will read at least three self development books. The first will be selected from three that have influenced my thinking for years. Those who study them consistently report renewed perspective. That mental shift is essential. As Wayne Dyer said, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

That shift in perception is where transformation begins. 

So, let's begin.

Peace and Light,
