Mentors

The following POK folks offer their one-to-one assistance (unpaid) to discuss troubling issues or for longer-term mentoring if that’s helpful.  Others in the community would likely also be available if you contact them!

Greg Ascue

My background is eclectic and varied. I was a Soto Zen Buddhist monk for 2 years, have studied with various non-dual teachers (Ramaji, Jeannie Zandi, Richard Miller, Scott Kiloby), Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism. I am a certified Yoga teacher. I know various forms of direct inquiry (Unprovoked Happiness, Ramana “Who Am I”, Emptiness Inquiry, Living Inquiries, Direct Path etc.) and enjoy playing/practicing with others. I, also, know and am certified to practice or teach various energetic/somatic/inquiry methods: acupressure, iRest (Yoga Nidra), Judith Blackstone’s Realization process, Scott Kiloby’s Living Inquiries, Ramaji’s RASA (I can give RASA), Vortex Healing etc. I, also, have training in SE and TRE. I have a background working with people who have addiction and trauma issues as well. I mentored a group in the last FC. Beyond all of this, I love playing with, sharing, and exploring this. I’m not stuck on any particular way. Would be happy to meet with any and all of you. sascue@msn.com

I would gladly help anyone who wants a kind, non-judgmental ear and some feedback based on my experience. I can offer many years experience with non-duality. I don’t know about the locations, but I have been through many different swings between the dual and non-dual, learning to walk in both worlds. I have done bliss state, suspended state, non-human (ha, ha) state, deeply calm state. I am currently (by choice) in a deeply human state with access to the resounding eternal silence. I think the journey is about learning to live with your understanding of your divinity as you choose to see it. The journey is about freedom and joy and finding the balance where you can appreciate your humanness while rejoicing in your emptiness.I have lived 62 years. I feel much lighter now than I did when I was 40. I don’t do much practice anymore. I started with Christ at 16, knocked to my knees and standing up talking in tongues, tucked it away until my forties when I fell into emptiness after reading Surya Das’ “Awakening the Buddha Within.” I spent almost a year as a bliss ninny – probably what Jeffrey would call a Level 3. And then I continued the journey. My principal spiritual teachers have been Christ, a shaman in the Toltec tradition, shaman-Buddhist, Tibetan Buddhist (Surya) and I now gratefully sit with Adyashanti on silent retreat twice a year.If you are reading this, I hope you have some understanding of how blessed you are among beings – that you are here at all shows that you are reaching for and have probably touched your deepest truth. How wonderful you are.

Texts are great for initiating contact – I’m not great about retrieving voice messages. Text at 617/571-7883. Or email at annierenn@hotmail.com.

With much love, Anne.

As an Inner Explorer/Researcher, I’ve been meditating consistently for nearly 50 years. I have an underground Floatation Tank in which I’ve spent thousands of hours. I’ve trained intensively in Qi Gong for eight years, taught it for three years, trained intensively in Latihan for five years, and had a Non-Dual Awakening during a retreat with Unmani lasting three years in 2005. FC8 in 2016 did the trick, and I’ve practiced Group Awareness regularly since. Following FC8, I did nearly 18 months of bi-weekly sessions of Ascension Mantras with Dr. Bob – and would be willing to work with anyone interested in deeply exploring Ascension or Group Awareness on a one-to-one basis. I began hosting multiple weekly PerfectlyOkay Group Awareness sessions in January 2018 – I LOVE Group Awareness – I Love it when Hearts Open & people find Tears of Joy in their eyes… 

Some fruits of my research are: 

( a ) I believe I can provide a direct experience of NSE using an Advanced Proprietary Neurofeedback Protocol.

( b ) I have a custom Protocol for Eliminating Neuropathic Pain using a combination of Ultrasound and Frequency-Specific-Micro-Current-Stimulation – (I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia – and I know this works) and 

( c ) I have discovered how to find Optimal Whole Brain Stimulation Frequencies to guide anyone into Very Deep States and 

( d ) I’ve filed a Patent for finding Optimal Brain Stimulation frequencies – the tech lets you see what the stimulation is doing in real-time to the client EEG – Note to experience any of these technologies requires you to either attend my Lab near London, UK, or I could work remotely via a willing Neurofield Neurofeedback Practitioner’s clinic and   

( e ) I’ve created the Intention Cloud see https://www.dropbox.com/search/personal?path=%2F&preview=id%3AvsisHhM7dcUAAAAAAAFrRw&query=intention+cloud&search_session_id=88244321709218051324885071423889&search_token=eK9JSa99fkDrYAT305xIrB2vvqr2608G3nDjMGewNDQ%3D and

( f ) I’ve discovered a way of using the Muse meditation headband to release/unlock/explore/decondition the darker side of human experience described in this article: https://medium.com/@robertlenzie/mining-the-dark-side-of-meditation-with-the-muse-s-967fffd3c39e and

( f ) I’ve been exploring Group Gratitude, described in this article: https://medium.com/@robertlenzie/huberman-gratitude-5d6c35fa93fc

Chris DiStefano

For anyone not looking to read the whole bio, a summary is I would not wish the path on another and I would not trade it for the world. I battled depression for most of my life. I had a glimpse of freedom via psychedelics in college and pursued it with meditation for decades following. I learned and practiced every technique and modality I ran across.  I did have an awakening through Liberation Unleashed that lasted for several months and later I circled back to try to recapture it via Finders Course, LLM, and the mentorship program. Following Covid I had a shift and it has been accelerating since. Depression seems like a distant memory and flow continues to become easier and more natural. I have been practicing acupuncture since 2008 and realizing the deep relationship of consciousness to health I have been moving into coaching since 2022.  So… what do I offer? What I can offer most is experience and the ability to listen with an open mind and heart. It is what I do every day at work. I am aware of the dogma traps and that there is no ‘right’ path for anyone. That shifts depending on the person and where they are in terms of consciousness at any given time. I believe that a true awakening happens in this plane, not through a transcendence into an etheric location (been there, done that) and we have given ourselves what would be called shadow work in this projection of consciousness to have the experiences of growth, faith/trust, and connectedness that facing that which we have avoided provides.  My analytical mind is no longer my enemy (most of the time), rather it provides me the ability to help people by being attuned and helping them through gross and subtle clues to find and overcome limiting beliefs. My nearly 30 years of struggle/growth has transformed towards joy. The process has given me many tools and insights that I can offer to others to assist in overcoming obstacles, finding direction and accelerating momentum in the awakening process. In my experience, people are generally closer to their goals than they believe themselves to be. Often the outside perspective can be all it takes to clear away the obstacles to awakening. I can be reached at TaoOfAlignment@gmail.com and I am happy to help anyone in this community free of charge.

I am available for unpaid Fundamental Wellbeing Location and Layer assessment for both new and experienced Finders, and by private treaty for other forms of coaching. I am one of the “still involved” Mentors trained by Dr. Jeffery A. Martin and Annemeik Meyers in 2022 and 2023 in the Mentors and Partners Program, and I am a member of the Inner Circle group, etc. and generally active on Telegram (@JewBilly). I am also an alumnus of the Layers and Locations Mastery course, the Thriving in Fundamental Wellbeing course and Cohort 23 of the 45 Days to Awakening. I discovered the Finders Community in the Spring of 2022, and I took the 45 Day course then to learn new skills to teach to men that I sponsor in the 12 Step Fellowship, which I have been a member of since 1991. I am what is known as an “Old Student” of Vipassana as taught by Goenka, and I taught various forms of meditation for over a quarter century, mostly in the 11th Step context. I represent a different demographic than most other folks in the Finders Community. I have been a dairy goat farmer and rancher in the Northern Rocky Mountain region of the USA almost all my adult life, and I bring a decidedly rural, wildlands and agrarian perspective to my work as a Mentor, Coach and Guide. I seem to have been in Fundamental Wellbeing all my life, or a least since early childhood. It’s a family tradition. Although I started formally meditating in 1972 my transitions in and out of non-duality were not persistent until I ceased using all intoxicants in 1991, when I transitioned to Location 2 of the Martin Matrix of the Consciousness Continuum. I am an advocate for strict sobriety including abstinence from all stimulants and all psychotropics. Vipassana brought me into persistent Location 3 in 2010, and L3,3 is my “home base”. I have experienced several later locations, and I have a strong pull into Location 5, but I am only interested in living in the full, rich-charmed life of L2,2 – L5,3. I am Hyper-Fluid and fully Integrated between L2,3 and L3,3, a consciousness Jeffery describes as the “Rich-Charmed Life”. I’m neither knowledgeable or particularly interested in either Location 4+ or Layer 4, preferring to be fully engaged in my active 47-year marriage and family, and our ranch life and community life. I teach the importance of an outdoor lifestyle and lots of daily physical activity for easy and joyful de-conditioning and health. I am into mountaineering, hiking, biking, horseback riding, motorcycling, kayaking, canoeing and sailing, as well as cattle, horse and goat ranching. My personal focus is on achieving and maintaining a vibrant full life that is Happy, Healthy, Joyous and Free, and helping others to do the same. I can be reached (USA Mountain Time) at quincy.orhai@icloud.com or by text or WhatsApp or voice at 1-307-858-5858 or by appointment (text is best) on a Zoom or Telegram video chat. If you have a question, please post it for us on the Telegram channel “Q&A with Q&K”: https://t.me/+3LjL1JHZNS4wMTgx or just bring it to the meeting.
