A lady gave me a book when I was 11 years of age. The book explained how man was not only a physical entity, but a mental and a spiritual one as well. The following summer I spent 30 days in bed with hepatitis, reading. Those two experiences put my life on a very peculiar path. I completed degrees in engineering and philosophy, worked as a design engineer, then went to graduate school. After a few publications, conferences, and teaching engineering, I felt like a scientist. Eventually I became a hypnotist and left the University to help people deal with chronic and degenerative disease using their minds only. This was years before Psychosomatic Medicine was recognized as a specialty in medicine. Later I went to medical school. The deeper I dove into the spiritual realm, the more "magical" my hypnotherapy practice became. Looking back, however, I became a bit withdrawn, particularly to a wife who was extremely ambitious. That marriage ended with a movie-star level of fanfare, the deepest levels of betrayal, and several attempts on my life. Throughout that process, I was "speechless", literally, riding a wave of aggression, lies, court battles and lawyer fees. I chose not to articulate a defense of my person, put my fate in God's hands, and worked on forgiveness. I met another woman, a doctor who would take me to the hospital and let me do rounds with her; a little like the medical residency I never attended. That felt good for a while, until she became physically violent, accused me of violence, and attempted to steal all I had. Basically, version 2.0 of my second marriage. That was a great lesson for me, for I realized that I had somehow attracted what I still felt inside: pain. Once we separated, I took 30 days to work on myself actively and seriously. I prayed, I talked to God, I reflected, I sat quietly at the beach at night. I healed. As I connected more and more with the idea of love, peace, and joy I met another woman, a pediatrician with a heart of gold. Soon after we met, life begun to change for the better. Today I feel an enormous sense of gratitude. The four wonderful daughters I had the privilege of fathering are a huge joy in my life. But we are not done yet! "Frank Baler Finds TH", is coming out soon. A new mission is on the horizon. Stay tuned! Flavio
