Some more about me
I admit, I’m a sucker for patterns. Ever since I can remember, patterns presented themselves everywhere I looked. I found predictable rhythms all around us—humans included. My need to make sense of people, the world, and the universe made me an insatiable learner.
For my PhD, I chose epidemiology that allowed me to translate qualitative observations into quantitative, statistical data on my clients’ behavioural patterns. Curious, irrational, yet uncannily predictable.
But epidemiology and science couldn’t answer all my questions. So I dabbled in psychology, quantum theory, medicine, string theory, fractals, education, economic models, business, anthropology, philosophy, spirituality, energy healing, and every other scientific and metaphysical area that held the promise of expanding my understanding of life.
Recurring patterns were everywhere, crossing lines between animate and inanimate, physical and psychological, scientific and spiritual. I have learned that even chaos exhibits patterns, and an elaborate physical and ethereal tapestry connects everything and everyone.
It had occurred to me people displayed nearly identical behavioural patterns at any scale, be it as individuals, family members, partners, sports fans, students in the schoolyard, corporate employees, or prisoners of war in death camps.
​
That’s when the Cone pattern had revealed itself to me. Incredibly consistent, relentless, and destructive. Suddenly, wherever I looked, there it was in every area of our lives and on every scale.
Despite our differences, we all experience the same basic fears, needs, fragilities, pains, desires, hopes, and joys, something that is also known as the human condition. It is from this understanding and lifelong observations that I have developed the Cone Model©—a recurring pattern that explains how and why we start with brilliant solutions to our problems yet end up with controlling and destructive life systems.
My mission
From the moment the Cone Model© had materialized, I knew my role would be to get it out into the world and awaken people to its realities in every way possible. Understanding this model has the power to make us aware of the many mind prisons (Cones) we are trapped in; help us rescue ourselves from them; and guide us toward better ways to address our problems and needs. Once we break free, we can lead more sustainable lives as individuals, members of our communities, residents of our planet, and integral elements of our universe.
My first step was to write a book about it. Now I’m reaching out to the world in as many ways as possible to spread the word.
Though our reality is a far cry from the utopia we wish it to be, there is yet hope for us. Yes, we are predictable and tend to repeat mistakes, but most of us are also mutable, well meaning, and ever evolving.
My ultimate goal is to lay healthy foundations to open-minded, inclusive, and enlightened debates, and to communities driven by a positive and constructive mindset.
