HISTORY
Because of his extended involvement and unusual experiences with martial arts Dr. G. began
searching in 1973 (in his 20’s) for the most efficient, practical, reproducible, effortless, no
nonsense methods to reach Awakened states of consciousness. This search to his surprise
would extend throughout the world. The search began as an undergraduate student at Kent
State University in Ohio, USA. After participating exactly as he was instructed he would evaluate
(after a substantial period) whether the meditation that he found in a book or directly from
another person was doing anything for him whatsoever. But the search continued until he found a
truly effortless technique and as a bonus the results were substantial. Therefore he followed
through with advanced courses.
After graduating from Chiropractic School he ran a very successful practice (over 92% of patients
stated they were 100% satisfied with the results of their treatments in 16 years of private
practice.) This success rate would eventually motivate him in other areas as well.
In 1987 he became unusually overwhelmed by a death in the family. He once again began
searching for something better or more or in addition to the meditation to relieve his grief. By
1993 he had experienced many western, self-help or Meta physical and eastern methods, for
short periods of time, all of which he excelled in, according to his instructors. Few of these
programs satisfied his continued thirst completely and none of them came even close to the
current meditations effectiveness for him. Therefore he continued with this meditation and added
breathing techniques from another organization, which complimented the meditation and helped
immensely. Yet he still noticed that even those who were more committed to their sadhana
(spiritual practices) then he was, beyond 3-5 hrs / day, were very often truly overwhelmed, even
by their own admission. Even those who considered themselves as experts in spirituality and the
psychics as well as the novice would state that peace was not firmly established moment to
moment for them.
Ironically, PEP was born out of an overwhelming situation with his office staff that would not be
resolved. Even though it was truly a situation which only existed in their minds Dr. G. could not
get them to see it. Having attempted every possibility he knew that anger was the only option left.
Therefore he acted as though he had lost his wits and told them all to shut up and close their
eyes as they were angrily yelling at each other. Much to his surprise they didn’t get up and quit
but did shut their mouths and closed their eyes. Stunned! He wondered what now? So he also
closed his eyes and shut his mouth for sometime until he spontaneously guided them into what
became known as the Productive Energy Program (PEP - Transforming Stress/Life into
Productive Energy Moment to Moment), now also referred to as GAP (Gentle Awakening
Program). To his further astonishment each subsequent weekly office meeting the entire staff
(only 1/3 of which had any spiritual knowledge) excitedly asked if they could learn more, and they
did. He began to realize it is a vital tool to firmly establish peace, therefore he guided people
through it on occasion when they seemed to be overwhelmed. Soon it became very obvious that
all problems are opportunities for growth! That is if you know exactly how to utilize your
consciousness moment to moment effortlessly.
He traveled throughout the world since 1994, especially India on an almost yearly basis. Although
PEP was 99+% effective he continuing his search into finding all the elements necessary to be
less and less overwhelmed, regardless of one's spiritual expertise. He continued to successfully
guide patients, friends and associates in various aspects of the Productive Energy Program. He
retired in 1995 to more actively pursue this quest. Basically he rationalized that if traditional
contemporary education could transform a kid from the streets (himself) to a doctor, then
spirituality, at the very least could transform anyone, as it eventually did with him, into not being
overwhelmed, ever, by anything. Like receiving a degree some would require the time and
commitment of receiving a Ph.D. and some may only need a similar commitment as an associates
degree, but the results should be similar. Now he would not stop until he would be able to serve
others in this arena with as much success as he realized with Chiropractic care, i.e. 92%+.
In 1996 he had a quantum personal Realization/Awakening (Shift) where as wholeness, fullness
and completeness seized to be a concept and became a Lucid Realization. This dramatically
enhanced the effectiveness of PEP/GAP in all walks of life including spiritual, business, clinically,
non-clinically, atheistic, religious, agnostics and even the recently enlightened as well as the
enlightened who need assistance in integrating higher states of enlightenment. Since then PEP
and now GAP and the other programs come from a wholeness which can only be referred to as
an Actualized Lucid Realization/Awakening. (Note) Dr. David R. Hawkins MD, Ph.D. states that
approximately 50% of those who become enlightened will not integrate and may take years or
decades to do so (Dr. Hawkins by his own admission took decades). Read “Power vs. Force”.
To mention a few of these Actualized Realizations/Awakenings:
He knew it had to be effortless, since the mind interprets resistance as stress. How could it be
otherwise since you can’t fool Mother Nature! Ignoring, tolerating, avoiding, including positive
thinking, by negation of the negative, which mentally creates more subconscious or even
unconscious stress. Thinking negatively is part of the human predicament. If you mentally and or
emotionally avoid it, you feed it! Because what you resist – persists, and where the attention
goes the energy goes, even if it is subliminally avoided. Therefore the energy goes to that which
is resisted. Furthermore, one reacts proportionately to the degree of mental resistance to any
situation, however with PEP/GAP one progressively responds to each moment with more and
more action and less reaction.
You cannot firmly establish moment-to-moment peace on your own terms; otherwise you would
already have it! Wouldn't you? There must be a full commitment in every dimension of life in
order to have peace in all dimensions moment to moment. We cannot just simply pick those
aspects of life, which we are willing to commit ourselves to or want peace in and leave the others
for later. What kind of peace would this be then? Partial and incomplete at best! Then we are
right back to where we started, albeit organized a little differently. True peace is whole complete
and full moment-to-moment. How could it be any other way?
He also knew, many people struggle to firmly establish peace, which is counterproductive.
Therefore, the course to awakening peace is effortless regardless of how bumpy the road is. This
awakening to peace cannot be an intellectual or emotional process, as it also had to be a
Realization, beyond even a lucid experience. An Actualized Realization, if you will, that would
prevail in proportion to that which the person would participate, consistently, reliably and
predictably.
This Actualized Realization was a Gentle Awakening, a shift to another paradigm and eventually
an effortless shift beyond all paradigms. This shift will re-enliven the natural harmony humans
inherently are born with, with the maturity of an adult. Also, it will progressively bring it to the
forefront of consciousness rather then it being overwhelmed (unknowingly/innocently held in the
background). This would have to be achieved by integrating peace into activity moment to
moment through PEP/GAP as well as expanding consciousness with certain entrainments, which
integrate the mind/body.
In 1992 he began administering clinical entrainments, which he now utilizes in a non-clinical form
to assist integration of the mind/body. Since then he found many other effective entrainments,
which would also expand consciousness. By integrating the mind/body through entrainments it
was now more effective and efficient to integrate the inherent dimensions of peace, which is
rooted beyond the mind/body. Depending on the needs of the individual or group these programs
(such as : EnerQiArts, Entrainments, GEM) comprise the plus portion of the GAP+/PEP+
programs, to enhance the effects.

His success rate with the Productive Energy Program/Gentle Awakening Program (PEP/GAP)was
and still is 99%+. However, since January of 2006 the program to peace became more efficient.
Consequently he began marketing (spread the word - so to speak) these programs. He
knew he now had the entire package for serving those who would make firmly establishing peace
a priority in their lives by gradually becoming less and less overwhelmed effortlessly by any thing
at any time regardless of the tragedy, situation, circumstance or even little occurrences.
Entrainments of the Awakening Entrainment Program will assist the shift to firmly establishing
peace as well as expand consciousness effectively in all situations when appropriately co-
coordinated with PEP/GAP (the Awakening Programs).

“Whether you are new to spirituality or have spent a life time at it I am sure you would like to be
able to utilize all that you have gained from it in your daily activity moment to moment in the most
effortless manner possible. Experts in Spirituality, teachers of it, Yoga teachers, the recently
enlightened, the enlightened integrating higher states, Psychics and novices as well have
benefited immensely from these courses. Why should you only experience peace or freedom
when you are doing your sadhana (spiritual practices) or when things are going well for you? One
would think or feel that spiritual practices should have no barriers including life itself regardless of
tragedies, traumas, and ups and down or even seemingly little things, which overwhelm you. PEP
(The Productive Energy Program) and GAP (the Gentle Awakening Program) have been
extremely effective in doing just that since 1993. It is as effortless as seeing, hearing, touching,
tasting, and smelling." Dr. G.
