A Letter from Our Founder:
Shortly after becoming involved with an international group that aspires to a wonderful set of humane principles and to whom I credit a lot of my personal growth, I acquired the nickname “Life” based on the personal motto I’ve developed to “not facilitate addiction but to facilitate life.”
A few years later, I received my Doctoral Degree in Social Psychology from the University of Arizona and many of the people in my close circles began to refer to me as “Doctor Life.” With such a potentially influential moniker, I thought it was worth insuring that not only should it have some serious and profound meaning but it should also be put to good use. Thus, I embarked upon a thorough examination of my personal teaching philosophies and devised the acronym L.I.F.E., which represents “Limitless Ideas and Free Environments”. To this day, the moniker serves as the underlying ideology and operating principle for the Foundation and Ministry and other organizations with which I am associated and heavily involved.
Although not always the case, many limitations that hinder us as humans are based in our thoughts and ideas. Thinking that we are limited is itself a factor of our limitations and accumulating evidence suggests that our thoughts are not only capable of limiting us but are also capable of extending our cognitive and physical limits. Consequently, I believe that we can help people through the process of freeing themselves from the limiting factors of their minds and by doing so help them create environments of freedom for themselves and for others around them.
In this age of little economic opportunity, ramped unemployment, community safety and security concerns, questionable food and water security, government corruption, religious and ethnic conflicts, overwhelming poverty, inequality and discrimination, century old wars and conflicts, moral superiority and the destruction of nature, It’s my belief that a Foundation and Ministry with an empowering philosophy that is taking steps to remove mental, physical, and social barriers is truly needed.
Our commitment to the community is simple! We want to help empower every individual to be the greatest individual they can be and to help those individuals demonstrate that greatness in the best possible way! Every human being, no matter their mental, physical or social limitation, has the potential to do something great for humanity and it’s our job to facilitate that!
Join us in the fight to facilitate the greatness of L.I.F.E.!
