Happy Valentine’s Day! Tananarive and I drove down to Laguna Beach for brunch Saturday at a nice restaurant with outdoor seating. Today we’ll have a meeting about the SOULMATE PROCESS, our new version of a course we did some years back: I’ll be giving a two-hour talk on it this Saturday for a private group, then turning that transcript into an e-book, and then that e-book will be the foundation for a real, solid course.

The process has been refined over time, both through observation and experimentation. But the most important thing might be the definition of a “Soulmate” itself, so here it is:

A Soulmate is a person who, when you meet them, you can see and feel the path to a happy, healthy future opening before you…and they feel the same.

We believe this is not just possible, it is a replicable process, available to almost anyone who can pass the Three Gates and loves themselves enough to admit they want the best from life. No, there isn’t just one such person for you. THAT would kinda suck. I’d estimate that you are no more than one degree of separation away from DOZENS of potential soulmates: someone of your tribe, at your level, who is available and interested in mating.

How can I say that? Because the average American knows about 600 people. Each of whom know about 600 people. That means THREE HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND people just one degree of separation away.
