Welcome!

My name is Don Mordasini. As an author and psychotherapist I use wisdom stories which have been humanity’s guiding inspiration for millennium to help you claim all of the spiritual and material riches that life has in store for you. I chose a medieval story “Prince Five Weapons” for my book’s inspiration and for my teaching because the prince (one’s higher self) battles the archetypical energies of darkness and ignorance (one’s ego) that has been man’s struggle since he first incarnated.

The goal of all human life is the expansion of consciousness— a movement away from self-centered egoism to the realization of our God nature. This journey has been depicted in myth and story, usually as man engaging the dragon, demon or ogre in epic battle. Each of us needs guidance when battling these guardians which bar entrance to our sacred Inner Kingdom. As I have learned much in my life-long battles, I offer my assistance to you.

• I depict the ego as an ogre guarding the gate of your kingdom. Your kingdom contains infinite spiritual treasure and material well being. The ogre has no knowledge that your soul, or Self is inside the palace walls. It battles you– the prince– for control of the kingdom
• As you, the prince, gradually learn to master the ogre, you become more aware of the treasures of your kingdom. Mastery of the ogre prepares you to receive the infinite treasures of spirit and all the potential good that life has for you.
• Whether you desire material success or profound opening of spirit, your intent draws to you the things you desire. However, you must clear your psychological blocks and/or accept the challenges and trials that purify your consciousness in order to receive them.

Whether you continue reading — or stop and go no further — I urge you:

Don’t let the ogre (ego), set your goals or determine your life experience. The ogre has no knowledge of your infinite nature, nor the joy that awaits you in the inner and outer worlds.

Through My Book, Lectures, and Seminars:

1. I teach that love is the sub-stratum of all existence. All relationships are a reflection of divine love. The desire to experience perfect love in a relationship is an unconscious urge that emanates from your soul. Human relationships are the vehicle by which we ‘perfect’ ourselves to experience a love that is beyond our human comprehension.
2. I show you how to create a life of fulfillment and love that forms the bedrock of your existence. However in the necessary process of socialization and development of an ego, this knowledge has been layered over with mind impressions that give you a false sense of self. This false sense of self is perpetuated by the ego’s identification with its perception.
3. I explain how your ego (ogre) helps you and how it hinders you so you can direct your energies to realize the material and spiritual riches of your Kingdom.
4. Through more than fifty wisdom stories and personal vignettes in my book, and the stories I weave into my presentations, I help you to see yourself through the eyes of your soul and to change the thought patterns and behaviors that keep you limited.

My book Princes and Ogres: Integration of Psyche and Soul is a reflection of my life and experience. It required a long and arduous journey, but now, with what I have learned, I’d like to share it with you.

As a stockbroker and Vice President of Dean Witter and Co. I learned the truth of the old adage, “There is no free lunch on Wall Street.” Material wellbeing is earned the hard way. I know the challenges of holding a demanding job, while parenting and partnering during challenges and good times. I have also known what it is like to be stripped of everything I held dear; executive position, money, status, and family to discover the sacred layered underneath the ego’s accumulation of worldly things.

As a psychotherapist with twenty years of experience, I learned there are no shortcuts that remove psychological blocks to happiness. Many of our coping mechanisms for dealing with challenges, as well our perception of the world, emanates from thinking patterns that lie below our conscious awareness. As we desire to enrich our lives and open to the sacred, we need to face these lesser known parts of ourselves. We illuminate ourselves by shining light on the shadows beneath our awareness. All challenges, trials, and roadblocks we encounter on our journey are opportunities to shine the light within and discover our innate, wholesome and basic goodness.

As a spiritual seeker, trekking the Himalayas, studying ancient scriptures, spending countless hours engaged in spiritual practices under the guidance of my teacher, Shri Anandi Ma of Gujurat India (lineage holder of the ancient tradition of Kundalini Maha Yoga), I know that spiritual return follows the laws of cause and effect. Spiritual joy, peace, and love can be yours—and can be integrated into your daily activity to attain unimagined happiness–but that is subject to the intensity of the energy and the wisdom you bring to your search.

A spiritual teacher said, “Within you is that which completely transcends the entire universe.” The point is that the God within us cannot be confined or contained in the universe–or a thousand universes–that make up all of creation.
