A heart centered cause versus symptom rehabilitation approach, fueled by gratitude and forgiveness, for active duty veterans suffering from PTSD has been implemented at the Concord Vets Center, California with great success. Under the direction of Salvador Ueda, MSW, and their team leader ~ a total of 18 Band of Brother's transformation support groups have been accomplished with well over 100 veteran graduates in the last five years and with this success ~ a personal dream and goal has come true. My dream was to help transform the VA rehabilitation system for veterans with PTSD from within through these heart centered Band of brother's sessions.

And here's a link to the YouTube Skype sessions of the self-healing process I teach and coach~ Watch, in the first 20 minutes of session five, how Marina conquers her deepest fear by going through it and she demonstrates that beneath her pain and fear is boundless joy. See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r12MoNnwPKg&feature=youtu.be
My book is a passionate call to heal your heart by surrendering to love. Initially by sharing gratitude with the many people in your life who have not been thanked for being a gift ~ and then all others as you open your heart and begin to not only see through different eyes but also slowly reconnect with your original joy, intention and purpose.
It is important to note here that all of my work over the past 45 years, both in my private practice and now as a heart centered coach and consultant, has been inspired by my desire to personally demonstrate my Unified Field by being in service from a place of celebration and service ~ which happens to be the last two steps of ego transcendence ~ as well as indelibly prove that deepest within us, even below our deepest pain is a psychic energy field of love, joy and soul consciousness (The Unified Field) ~ which exists not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears, and whose principle property is the universal urge to unite.

Just as becoming a Navy Fighter pilot was an important part of my destiny and brought me to the San Francisco Bay area ~ the precognitive vision of the Golden Gate Bridge was a door that was opened to me as a young child and not only let the future in but proved to me that the love for my grandfather not only existed beyond time and space but was also the sole constant of the universe.

3. THE FINAL OPTION / SURRENDERING TO THE UNIFIED FIELD
I have had many personal experiences of the sensory sensation of being in the Unified Fieldof love and soul consciousness that exists not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears but this one stands out ~ for it was a matter of life and death and it became the foundation of my belief in this state of consciousness that lies beneath our deepest fears. See http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/05/11/the-final-option/
My after death experience with my Mother when she passed on in 1987 was proof positive that she was now in the Unified Field ~ a state of soul consciousness that exists beyond time and space.

Let me share my initial meeting with Stan Krippner 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.

The answer to my query is because their psychic pain, quite often experienced at birth or early childhood, has over ridden their original joyful memories and they are afraid of or mistrust their deepest joy and are living their life and still making life decisions based on ego based fear.
In the third tenet of my PhD dissertation, The Unified Field, Idescribe the process by which psychic pain (the seeming separation from love) can over-ride joy and how most people are afraid of or mistrust their deepest joy ~ It would appear that the pain of not feeling loved for oneself and being seemingly separated from our original state of soul consciousness and the Unified Field is of such deep psychic proportions that, early in childhood, processes are triggered in the hypothalamus which result in a left brain imbalance and dominance as well as the denial, mistrust and forgetting of our connection to the Unified Field and the love and joy and a state of soul consciousness deepest within us. It is from this dark tunnel of pain, aloneness, despair and apparent death that the ego and ego consciousness is born – for survival and protection purposes only.
Thus death, or the idea of death, appears to be an illusion measured by the limits of our consciousness. This would seem to explain why people who have had a near-death experience quite often no longer fear death but also have new values regarding love and the need to be in service
In other words, I meet them from a place of celebration and service and empower them to open their hearts and fully claim the joy and authenticity of themselves.
Here are the eight stages of ego transcendence I demonstrate and teach. Remember that the ego is a projection of what we feel we have to be versus being our true authentic self~ and it is always born out of deep pain and aloneness.
Initially, I am called in to review their completed Life chart and help Sal connect the soul dots ~ a life chart which clearly shows their whole life, relationships and war experience as a Quest or journey to fully understand where they are now.
I then assist Sal in the remaining group sessions, with the veterans, using the seven sessions in my book as the guide ~ including the experiential guided visualizations.
For example, the last session is a death exercise where every member has the chance to seemingly die and I then have each member tell them how much they meant to them as well as share from their heart with each other. In other words, in that exercise they not only experience being loved but the thrill of speaking from their hearts.
It's not therapy but it is action based self-healing and every participant is given the opportunity to explore another heart centered choice of behavior versus a fear based ego driven choice. The Team leader was very impressed by this self-healing process but could not find the time to make it happen for himself but his support was evident to all participants.
In 2015, I have concentrated on empowering and mentoring Sal Ueda, at his suggestion, to not only see through his heart but connect the dots so that he could carry the program on without my assistance. This work, in essence, is all about soul retrieval for these veterans, who were once taught to kill, are now being reconnected to their deeper urge to love and cooperate with each other
Dr Stanley Krippner describes this process in the foreword of my book ~ “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”
Nowhere is“soul loss” more apparent than with veterans with PTSD who have been taught to kill or witnessed or participated in unjustified mass human carnage.
It remains to be seen if the VA will integrate this self-healing approach into their clinical approach but it is obvious that no amount of psychiatric drugs can ease the painful psychic pain carried by many of our returning veterans with PTSD ~ as witnessed by our rising veteran suicide rate.
Gen. Peter Chiarelli, the Army’s No. 2 officer, who has long been an advocate for soldiers suffering from the invisible wounds of war (such as PTSD and TBI) ~ also advocates the need for other alternative approaches ~ ”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.” See http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/05/23/unsaid-issue-behind-veterans-rising-suicide-rate-is-shame-based-guilt/
As a former active duty Naval aviator and carrier pilot who served seven years in the Navy, the last two as a weekend warrior ~ I can honestly relate to veterans and consider it an honor to have touched many of their hearts in my work as a heart centered consultant.
They have all, including myself, faced their deepest fears and been in service to their country. Many have been to the dark side and long for another choice and I am proud to have facilitated that process in my ongoing heart centered consultations.
There is no true healing without love and gratitude is the life blood of soul consciousness.
“Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” Rumi

the ancients had centres for healing at the intersection of ley lines and the effect was heightened by drinking water just before entering. These places and their effects still exist today
