MY LUNCH WITH STANLEY KRIPPNER

Stanley Krippner ~ Internationally known parapsychologist, and an executive faculty member and Professor of Psychology at Say brook University in Oakland, California.

Having lunch with Stanley Krippner is really once again seeing a former mentor, friend and fellow traveler in a Unified Field of love and soul consciousness that exists not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears ~ and dramatically realizing during this special meeting that many others are beginning to feel empowered and are responding to this inner call to find their authentic vocation and make a difference within a universal loving plan: Allen L Roland, PhD

Stanley Krippner is an important and empowering gift in my life for he was my mentor for my 1975 Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology as well as my first book and the second reader for my PhD dissertation on the Unified Field in 1998 and also wrote the forward for my resultant book Radical Therapy / Surrender to love and heal yourself in seven sessions (not seven years) ~ which was published in 2002.

 

But more importantly, Stan and I are both in service as planetary light workers and when we meet, the universe speaks to us and we listen ~ but many others are also listening and beginning to respond to this innate inner call to find their authentic vocation and soul based service ~ as you will discover in this story.

 

Let me share our initial meeting 44 years ago in 1972 which has set the stage for where I am now but is a wonderful personal example of how our lives are divinely interconnected and guided from within if we will but listen, say YES to ourselves and not be controlled by fear.

 

In 1972, I attended a 3 day special conference for Masters Students in counseling at a ranch in Sonoma, California. It was almost a year since I had surrendered to my deep "Well of Grief " by letting go of a destructive relationship and I realized my whole life had shifted from being outer-directed to inner-directed. I had also experienced a profound dream during this painful inner transformation that pointed to my writing a book entitled Conscious Love, The Ultimate Energy.

 

At the same time, I was also making a transition from the brokerage business to the counseling profession and was enrolled at Sonoma State University in a Master's Degree Program. Many paranormal events happened to me during this inner transformation and I wanted to share them with the renowned parapsychologist Stanley Krippner ~ who fortunately was leading the Master's Degree conference I was about to attend.

 

About the second day of the conference, Stanley asked a group of about 20 students, one by one, what there Master's Degree dissertation would be. This was it ~ I could share my dream or fake it and try to impress Stan ~ I was very nervous and finally he turned to me and asked me what my dissertation subject would be?

 

I took a deep breath, gulped and shared my dream ~ I was going to write a book entitled Conscious Love, The Ultimate Energy . There was some laughter around the room and Stan pointed to me and said "Demonstrate it " ~ which produced even more laughter.

 

The conference ended a few days later, much to my chagrin, and I had not made a meaningful connection with Stan who had already left and would be leaving for New York the next day.

 

While carrying my bag to my car that morning ~ for I was about to leave the ranch for home ~ something deep inside me told me not to leave.

 

I listened, put my bags down and wandered over to the dining room, completely surrendering to the moment and whatever was guiding me.

 

No one was in the dining room, so I peeked into the kitchen and noticed that someone was washing dishes. He seemed to be part of the cleanup crew and immediately recognized me as one of the participants in the conference. He asked me if I would have a glass of wine with him and chat for a few minutes.

 

We sat down in the dining room where he proceeded to share his perceptions of the masters conference whereas he had been part of the kitchen crew ~ his name was Leonard and he was of the impression that the whole conference had revolved around him.

 

I listened compassionately and then gently but honestly led him to another but more realistic perception of what had happened. We then finished our wine, he thanked me for listening and sharing with him ~ and I left the ranch knowing I had done what I was supposed to do.

 

Later that evening, Stanley Krippner called me at home and told me he was cancelling his trip back East and wanted to meet with me in Sausalito the next day. Stanley and I spent the next afternoon together and he told me that when his chauffeur came back from the ranch the previous morning after working with the kitchen crew ~ he seemed like a changed person and had made a remarkable shift in behavior and attitude.

 

When Stanley asked Leonard what had happened to him, he said he had an extremely illuminating conversation with one of the participants and was now seeing things quite differently. Stan asked him the name of the group participant who spoke to him and Leonard said Allen Roland

 

At that point Stan suddenly realized that I had indeed demonstrated the power of conscious unconditional love with his own chauffeur Leonard ~ although I had no idea that Leonard was Stan's driver and chauffeur ~ but that knowing child within me most certainly knew it and was determined for me to make a meaningful contact with Stan.

 

Stan became my mentor, friend and now colleague and he has been instrumental over the last 40 years in connecting me with key people who have been very important in guiding me towards fully owning my truth and being in service.

 

This story is all about listening and responding to our inner guidance ~ which, in this case was Get out of the way, Allen ~ I'll take care of this!

 

 

 

This week, 44 years later, Stan and I had lunch at Saybrook University in Oakland and after we sat down together at a small café on 14th street deeply engaged in animated conversation ~ a middle aged woman who was sitting close by became intrigued by our conversation and entered our discussion uninvited ~ but she was welcomed by us. She quickly shared that her name was Cynthia, she was an Army veteran, her mother had died at three years old and she had never been able to get beyond her fear of loss and that there was something else she really wanted to do.

 

Cynthia was reaching out and I responded, took her by the hand and said it was her turn and all she had to do was call me or read my Kindle book or watch my YouTube sessions and if necessary I would be happy to personally assist her to get beyond that childhood fear of loss which still haunted her ~ just as it does many veterans. I also told her that her mother was still very much alive in her heart and she could access her by opening her heart through gratefulness and in that process go through her fears. She was very touched and empowered by our brief connection and left knowing something very important had just happened ~ her soul had been touched, she felt empowered and I was once again in sync with my destiny.

 

It only took a few moments, but in that totally spontaneous few minutes, I had demonstrated once again to Stan that conscious unconditional love was the ultimate empowering energy and that I was indeed in service ~ as I had been 44 years ago with his chauffeur, Leonard ~ for I was once again in sync with a state of love and soul consciousness deepest within myself and empowering others to heal themselves by giving them the gift of myself and my truth.

 

Cynthia was a needed reminder to both Stan and myself that the planet is now beginning to listen and respond to this innate universal call to be in service from a place of love and soul consciousness.

 Being in the field is the subtle awareness of an inner pull which is bigger than ourselves, our hopes and our fears ~ a  Unified Field  of love and soul consciousness which calls us into service from an egoless place of joy, intention, purpose and delight and its principle property is the universal urge to unite ~ but there is more to this story.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coincidently, Stan had just published a new book called Haunted by Combat / Understanding PTSD in War Veterans ~ and then at lunch we accidently met Cynthia, who was a war veteran and most probably haunted by the fear of loss (which started with her mother's death at 3 years old) and which most certainly lay beneath her combat fears and PTSD ~ which I have demonstrated in my heart centered transformational work with combat veterans over the past 5 years.

This is how the universe or loving plan works when you are in service and in sync with your destiny ~ for both Stan Krippner and myself are also active players in a Unified Field of love and soul consciousness, which exists not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears ~ and there are no accidents if you can see through your heart and are open to the unknown.

 

"It is only through the heart that one can see clearly; what is essential is invisible to the human eye."
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery (The Little Prince)

EASTWOOD'S AMERICAN SNIPER HAS ANTI-WAR MESSAGE

Click on Photo to enlarge

Clint Eastwood's lonely vigilante of Dirty Harry days lives in American Sniper but now the killings have taken a toll and he has Post Traumatic Stress ~ which virtually all combat veterans have to some degree. The VA has been reluctant to tackle soul damage from veterans participating in military combat but my own extensive experience as a heart centered counselor and consultant with combat veterans with PTSD as well as recent studies have conclusively shown that it is a significant risk factor in the rising military suicide rate and it most certainly cannot be eliminated with drugs: Allen L Roland, Ph.D

 

I saw Clint Eastwood's American Sniper yesterday and I saw Dirty Harry in Khaki (Bradley Cooper) who by dehumanizing the enemy and eliminating them one by one as America's most lethal sniper eventually became dehumanized himself, was diagnosed with PTSD, and ironically eventually was killed at home on a firing range by a troubled fellow serviceman with PTSD ~ who he was teaching how to shoot.

 

The subtle signs were all there in Eastwood's film that Iraq was an unjust war at the cost of approximately 5000 American lives and close to 500 thousand Iraqi lives as well as millions of displaced civilians; His departing fellow soldier and younger brother telling him as he arrived in Iraq on his fourth tour "This is Fucked"  ~ His therapist having him visit a VA hospital to experience the walking and permanently wounded ~ but he was still in denial and convinced himself he was a hero who saved lives and that eventually cost him his own.

 

The movie deserves an Oscar as much as Hurt Locker in 2010 and in many ways was more powerful than Hurt Locker. Bradley Cooper captured the inner torture of killing others, even the so called enemy, as well as the obvious growing onset of PTSD with each of his four tours of duty. Cooper deserves an Oscar for his deeply moving performance where his combat company became more important than his immediate family in that he was almost fatally consumed in the adrenaline rush of combat before he finally realized he was ready to come home.  Sienna Miller co-starred as Kyle's wife, Taya and fully captured the anguish of living with someone you deeply love as they begin to slip into the grey zone of PTSD ~ where they are seemingly no longer there.       

 

In an interview, Navy Seal author Chris Kyle admitted that he needed to dehumanize his victims in order to kill them, calling them “savages” ~ but in the process he lost his soul and his humanity.

 

Is there a better way, besides drugs, to treat PTSD in our returning soldiers?

 

The answer is yes, according to myself as well as Saybrook University Psychology Professor Dr. Stanley Krippner.  Krippner is the author of two major recent books in the field:  "Haunted by Combat:  Understanding PTSD in War Veterans" and the "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" series in the "Biographies of Disease" series, among many other books.

Krippner was also mentor for my Master's Thesis in 1975 ”Conscious Love, The Ultimate Energy" and second reader for my PhD dissertation in 1998 the Unified Field which identifies and demonstrates a psychic energy field of love that exists not only beyond time and space but also deepest within each one of us. Stanley eventually wrote the forward for my book "Radical Therapy, Surrender To Love and heal Yourself in Seven Sessions (Not Seven Years)" which is used as a guide in my highly successful ongoing Healing the Wounded Heart workshops in Northern California ~ where I act as a volunteer consultant, advisor and mentor for these transformation sessions.

Here's the Kindle link http://www.amazon.com/Radical-Therapy-Surrender-Yourself-Sessions-ebook/dp/B00JGE5VQE

 

Krippner says, that “American Sniper” can usefully be seen as an anti-war movie.  What it doesn’t have is any of the clear instances of how to help someone like Chris Kyle that we know how to do ~ but that the military health system is unfortunately slow to adopt.

 

Saybrook University has a strong history of research supporting veterans with PTSD.  Graduate Bart Billings, a colonel in the military, helped organize the world’s longest running conference on combat stress, and has testified before congress on the military’s overuse of anti-depressants to treat mental health issues. Drugs are not the answer but are far too often seen as the answer as Colonel Billings, a Clinical Psychologist with a 34 year military career as a Clinical Psychologist, explains ~ 8 minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F02HElsg8uI

A current Saybrook PhD Student, Jason Frye, is currently conducting research on the psychological impacts of being a sniper. In a recent study, he interviewed two demographically similar men who had received sniper training ~ one of whom had confirmed kills in the field, one of whom had never taken a life.

 

The sniper who had killed in the field showed significant scores for PTSD, meeting 9 of the 13 criteria for diagnosis, and showing “significant numbers in major depression with suicidality, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,” and numerous other issues. 

 

An American soldier dies every day and a half, on average, in Iraq or Afghanistan while Veterans kill themselves at the rate of one every 80 minutes. More than 6,500 veteran suicides are logged every year ~ more than the total number of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq combined since those wars and occupations began.

A bag filled with violence inducing psychotropic drugs are not the answer for treating our returning veterans, such as Chris Kyle, especially since for every US soldier killed last year, 25 veterans commit suicide. The US military has lost more troops to suicide than to combat for the second year in a row and a better cause versus symptom based understanding of combat-related risk factors for suicide is now critical.

So let’s take a closer look at the bagful of drugs (Care of big Pharma) that are currently being thrown at Veterans as well as their adverse effects.

A recent study published in the Public Library of Science online journal (PloS One @ www.plosone.org) by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP @ www.ismp.org) listed the top 31 prescription drugs that can cause violent or aggressive behavior in those consuming them. Note that Prozac, Paxil and the amphetamine drugs as well as Lariam are # 2, # 3 # 4 and #5 on the top-ten list: See article ~ http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/04/25/rising-vets-suicides-heart-centered-approach-needed/

A new SFVA study strongly suggests that soldiers who experience killing experiences are twice as likely to attempt suicide ~ which strongly supports the reality of soul damage as a contributing factor for veteran’s suicide as well as the obvious need for a proven soul centered approach toward veteran rehabilitation

In an important April 13, 2012 research study abstract entitled ~ KILLING IN COMBAT MAY BE INDEPENDENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH SUICIDAL IDEATION ~ the SFVA released the following abstract which indicates the possibility of soul damage with combat veterans who by dehumanizing the enemy and killing them ~ become more dehumanized and suicide prone:

    BACKGROUND:

     The United States military has lost more troops to suicide than to combat for the second year in a row and better understanding combat-related risk factors for suicide is critical. We examined the association of killing and suicide among war veterans after accounting for PTSD, depression, and substance use disorders.

    METHODS:

      We utilized a cross-sectional, retrospective, nationally representative sample of Vietnam veterans from the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS). In order to perform a more in depth analysis, we utilized a subsample of these data, the NVVRS Clinical Interview Sample (CIS), which is representative of 1.3 million veterans who were eligible for the clinical interview by virtue of living in proximity to an interview site, located within 28 standard metropolitan regions throughout the United States.

  

       RESULTS:

         Veterans who had higher killing experiences had twice the odds of suicidal ideation, compared to those with lower or no killing experiences, and substance use disorders were each associated with higher odds of suicidal ideation. Endorsement of suicide attempts was most strongly associated with PTSD.

       ONCLUSIONS:

            Killing experiences are not routinely examined when assessing suicide risk. Our findings have important implications for conducting suicide risk assessments in veterans of war. See Report:

 

         These findings offer even more justification for offering soul centered workshops for combat veterans as well as other heart centered therapy. We’re talking about soul damage here and only a heart centered intervention can effectively treat  that psychic despondency ~ as I have consistently demonstrated with combat veterans, over the past five years, who have virtually all participated in killing experiences.

 

       And therein lies my point ~ there are most definitely effective and proven ways to handle PTSD other than throwing a bagful of drugs at them and one of them is the heart centered Healing The Wounded Heart workshops we are facilitating with Veterans with PTSD in Northern California.

      
         I have long felt and have now proved that PTSD is really Post Traumatic Heart Disorder for a common symptom of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is the inability to give or receive love ~ which can obviously apply to non-veterans who have also suffered significant loss or emotional childhood and/or adult pain.

          I have also clearly demonstrated that only after the soul is activated through gratefulness can true self-healing occur for only then does the client (veterans or otherwise) truly want to heal.  Using the premise that what is deepest within us is love (not anger) and utilizing an action oriented approach to face and go through their heart felt fears ~ these veterans, soon discover that beneath their pain, anger and shame is not only love and joy but most importantly their true authentic self.

          The purpose then of the Healing the Wounded Heart Workshops i  is to penetrate the grey zone of guilt, aloneness and unworthiness, that many combat War Veterans diagnosed with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) experience, and this is accomplished within a supportive group setting through heart centered self-exploration, group sharing, guided visualization and action oriented homework ~ where love, gratefulness and joy eventually overcome inner fear, anguish and separation.

 

         We call each one of these 6 week (once a week) workshops Band  of Brothers and 14 of them have already been completed since early 2010 and Band of Brothers #15 will commence later this month.

          Using Band of Brothers #5 as an example ~ 21 PTSD symptoms were included on the evaluation survey and the veterans were asked to rate their level on the 1-10 scale ( with 1 being “ Very Poor “ and 10 being “ No Problem” for each of the PTSD conditions Before and After the workshop. Here are the after workshop results ~ with an average symptom improvement of 59%.

 
  Symptoms / After workshop % Improvements

   Sleep Problem              67%

   Nightmares                    62%

   Trouble breathing        15%

   Avoidance                      63%

   

    Isolation                        69%

   Emotional Numbing       74%

  Irritability/Anger          70%

   Anxiety                            53%

   Depression                     65%

  Suicidal Ideations         41%

  Intrusive Memories       58%

  Super alert issues         58%

  Concentration issues     55%

  Energy                            57%

  Feeling Joy                   75%

  Fear of intimacy           63%

  Physical pain                  36%

  Emotional pain            65%

  Love                               59%

  Peace                             69%

  Compassion                 41%

  Gratitude                       75%

 

        The figures speak for themselves but the ones that leap out are the 75% improvement in Joy and gratitude. These combat veterans have not only survived the ultimate firefight of battling fear on the journey to their heart but are now experiencing the delight of not only being themselves but the joy and gratitude that they are truly healing themselves and can finally begin to give and receive love.

          Here are two participants comments from their workshop evaluation; “I have progressed farther in the workshop’s 6 weeks than I have in 25 years of on-and off private therapy. I’ve been given a very informative look at myself. I understand much more about my own experiences. So many answers to so many questions. I feel alive!  Gaining a different perspective on life helps me to see my true self. It’s nice to feel love and a sense of self-worth”

          “My quick temper and bouts with anger are gone. My dreams are no longer violent and I have not flown out of bed since the workshop. I am able to fall asleep and remain asleep. My relationships with my wife and family have improved immensely. The comradeship that grew with the other participants was wonderful. I feel very strongly that the “ Healing The wounded Heart “ workshop should be added to the VA’s inventory of most effective tools used in re-adjustment counseling to combat the life destroying effects of PTSD.”

  
    Three years ago General Peter Chiarelli,  the Army’s No. 2 officer, acknowledged there are more effective ways to treat PTSD than just drugs ~ a fact that we have have been proving for over five years with our heart centered Healing The Wounded Heart workshops for combat veterans with PTSD in Northern California.

    “There’s no doubt that we’ve changed. We’ve totally done a 180. But have we done enough? No. I want to do more, quicker. I want to have more of these secrets unlocked faster. I want to understand what drugs we should use to treat these symptoms, if we should use any drugs at all. I want to look into alternative pain management. We are finding there are other ways to handle pain that are more effective and allow a person to feel a lot better than throwing a bagful of drugs at them.” General Peter Chiarelli

 

 “If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans” ~ James Herriot, All Creatures Great and Small

AN ANGEL TURNS 80 / STANLEY KRIPPNER

See Eskenazi article: http://www.sfweekly.com/2012-04-25/news/the-grateful-dead-parapsychology-dream-telepathy-joe-eskenazi/

This Christmas I honor a living truth seeking angel who just turned 80 years young, Stanley Krippner. Stan has been a mentor, coach and friend to hundreds of students of the paranormal and in my case an angel ~ who mentored my Master's Degree and was second reader for my PhD dissertation on The Unified Field: Allen L Roland

Dr. Stanley Krippner is an internationally-known psychologist who is the author of more than 500 papers and more than 100 volumes, co-authored or co-edited, on a wide variety of topics in psychology, consciousness, psychotherapy and parapsychology ~ but to many others Stan is a gentle and compassionate truth seeker who, in my case, saw my truth when I was just sensing it and helped pave the path for me to own it with the world.

Stanley Krippner

It was 1972 and I had just been accepted in a new two year field experience oriented Master's Degree program at Sonoma State University in Cotati, California. At that time, I was making a transition from the brokerage business to the counseling profession, and many paranormal events were happening during this confusing heart centered inner transformation from ego consciousness to soul consciousness.

Stanley Krippner was leading a special three day

conference for the pilot program I was about to attend.

At the opening session, Stan individually asked a group of about 20 students what their Master's thesis topics would be. When he turned to me, I nervously announced that I was going to write a book entitled Conscious Love, The Ultimate Energy (a book I had dreamed I would be writing). There was some laughter around the room and Stanley pointed to me  and said " prove it, " which produced even more laughter.

The conference ended a few days later and much to my chagrin I had not made a meaningful contact with Stanley ~ except for that brief exchange. Intuitively, I knew this was an important contact for me but Stan was leaving and flying to New York the next day for an important meeting.

While carrying my bags to my car as I was preparing to leave the premises ~ something within me told me not to leave ~ so I listened.

I put my bags down and wandered over to the dining room, completely surrendering to whatever was guiding me.

No one was in the dining room, so I peeked into the kitchen and noticed that someone was washing dishes. He seemed to be part of the cleanup crew and immediately recognized me as one of the participants in the Masters conference.

He asked me if I would share a glass of wine with him and chat for a few minutes.

We sat down in the dining room where he proceeded to share his perceptions of the conference ~ for it was his belief that the whole conference had evolved around him, although he was a member of the kitchen crew.

I listened compassionately and non-judgmentally and  gently, but directly, helped him see another more realistic perception of what had happened. We finished our wine, he thanked me, and I now knew I could leave the premises.

I had no idea what this was all about, but I completely surrendered to it and simply fully showed up in the moment.

Later that evening, Stanley Krippner called me at home and told me that he was canceling his trip to New York the next day and wanted to meet with me in Sausalito ~ and he had blocked off the afternoon.

Greatly excited I accepted his invitation and Stan and I spent the next afternoon together. He told me that when his driver had come back from the seminar the previous evening after working all afternoon with the kitchen crew ~ he seemed like a changed person and had made a dramatic shift in behavior and attitude.

When Stanley asked him what had happened, he said that he had an extremely illuminating conversation with one of the conference participants and was now seeing things differently.

Stan asked him what was the participants name and he said ~ Allen Roland.

Stan suddenly realized that I had indeed demonstrated that Conscious Love was the ultimate energy by facilitating a complete change in his drivers behavior ~ and I had no idea of their relationship. 

Stan then also knew we had work to do together and he became the supervisor and mentor for my Master's Degree and book ( Conscious Love, The Ultimate Energy ) as well as eventually the second reader for my doctoral dissertation which explained and demonstrated the truth of the Unified Field ~ and to this day, Stan remains an ongoing source of encouragement and support.

If you Google The Unified Field ~ my Unified Field is #4 out of over 5 million results.

Why is this story important ? Because that is the deep spiritual dimension that Stan dwells in and he recognizes fellow travelers in his role as a connector and teacher and completely surrenders to it ~ much as I did in unconsciously demonstrating to him the power of conscious unconditional love with his driver.

This story is also about listening and responding to my inner guidance ~ which is my case said " Get out of the way, Allen ~ I'll take care of this "

And now that's what I do as a heart centered therapist ~ teaching people, by phone or in person, to find the courage to listen, respond and surrender to their own inner truth and guidance.

Or as Stan writes in the forward to my last book Radical Therapy: Surrender to Love and Heal Yourself in Seven Sessions ( not seven years)...   " No psychiatric Manual lists "Soul Loss" as a condition in need of treatment, but shamans tell me that "Soul Loss" is widespread in contemporary society. Allen Roland has had the insight to understand what the shamans have told me . He also has developed the skills to help his clients regain their souls."

As such, the foundation of my heart centered counseling is soul centered and the success of my heart centered work with others is most certainly attributable to angels, such as Stanley Krippner, who has lived his life seeking the truth and in service to others.

I think Stan is still intrigued that the foundation or base of ESP could well be cemented in a field of universal love and a state of soul consciousness that exists beyond time and space ~ and a state which I have clearly demonstrated in my work with clients and combat veterans with PTSD.

When I made the decision to share my truth in 1972, at the risk of being laughed at, I set in motion a series of paranormal events which have led me to being totally in sync with my destiny ~ and still telling my truth at the risk of being laughed at.

Stanley Krippner's demonstrated gift and lifelong lesson for me is the incredible inner validation and satisfaction of being in service from a place of celebration as well as not taking oneself too seriously.

"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting." Buddha
