Matthew B. James, Ph.D.
The Trainer of Trainers, Dr. Matthew B. James, Brings Huna, the Ancient Science of Consciousness, to the World. "We all have everything we need for personal transformation at any moment." So says international trainer, coach, and kumu (teacher) of Huna, Dr. Matthew B. James. Over the past fifteen years, Dr. James has helped thousands of students-- from elite athletes to CEO's to human potential trainers -- to reclaim the meaning, joy, and excitement of life.
Too many of us live lives of "quiet desperation." We continue to struggle to get the basic "nuts and bolts" of life that come so easily to others. Or we might acquire all the things that we thought would bring happiness the home, the family, the careers but somehow they fall painfully short. And despite the shelves of self-help books, the hours in "get-better" seminars, the years of affirmations and therapy, we still end up with the same questions:
Why do we feel more sadness than joy? More stress than excitement?
How did life become so lifeless, routinized?
What's the point of it all anyway?
Matthew B. James, Ph.D., asked these questions earlier than most of us. He practiced Transcendental Meditation at five years old, pursued training in contemporary therapeutic disciplines during his teens, earned various graduate degrees in his twenties, and recently completed his Ph.D. in Integrative Psychology. But it was his training in Huna, the indigenous Hawaiian science of consciousness, that finally brought lasting change into his own life. www.matthewbjames.presskit247.com
Beyond The Matrix
BEYOND THE MATRIX
The Matrix is opaque and dissonant, like neon in fog.
Cluttered with the filler materials of our lives, it weighs us down in the density, clipping our wings, holding us captive in its web.
The Matrix is limited and confining, painting us into its grids of sameness: masked bandits in a hall of mirrors.
Loud and cacophonous, the Matrix tears at our inner and outer worlds with the noise of chaotic frenzy—
banging the drum, sounding the horn.
It is the superfluous impulse of demand and desire,
the prison of those who do not believe.
Dark and determined, the Matrix exists to enclose our minds in a cage, in a cube, in a box, in a corner—
crouched in cells of our own making, where fear is the gatekeeper and trust is but a memory.
Beyond the Matrix is the Light.
It is clear; it is pure; it is the unchained melody.
It is the breeze upon which souls take flight.
It is the day, the eternal warmth of the sun.
It is the wonder of a cool, moonlit night.
It is a place of truth: the search, the Wisdom;
a cosmic dance; the magic kingdom.
Beyond the Matrix lies the hope
and the dream;
it is the dream that keeps us alive.
It is the dream. The dream. The dream.
Free Your Mind!
