Is This A Cult ?
Except for the healing treatments, I do not proscribe any diets, exercises or other "weird" things you must do or not do in your life. I may offer some advice on certain matters (if asked or guided), but you are always free to do as you please. I also don't profess to be infallible... take anything I say with a grain of salt.. if it feels right to you, it is your truth I am mirroring.. if not, let it go and follow your own counsel. I am not God. The healer is the Spirit that works with or through me, but it is not this body, persona, mind or ego that is called David.

No one lives in a vacuum, nor does anyone heal by themselves, yet everyone is somewhat limited in the amount of spiritual resources that they are able to accessible within their own space. To a great extent, it has been through utilizing the support of other healers that I have gotten to this place on my own path, and likewise, I know that when my spirit works with you, our combined powers can achieve a greater effect within your space. And it is not that you "give your power away" to me when you ask for or receive help... it doesn't work that way... we work together. Besides, the cycle of life is a constant giving and receiving. No one can give and give without receiving in return (and vice versa).. this would create a kamic imbalance.

So in order to maintain this karmic balance with you (in regards to healings) I do advocate an equal exchange of goods (money) for services (healings). Most people have a gross imbalance in these areas, manifesting as co-dependent behaviors and control issues (all forms of power manipulation games). That I have clearly defined and set fees for my services maintains a balance in our exchange so we can both have our boundaries, self respect and integrity.

Spirit (and I) do care deeply for your well being, but we cannot deprive you of the opportunity to demonstrate that care (of yourself) by investing in your own healing. Spirit realizes that people tend to value something more if they have to sacrifice for it. In the area of Spiritual healing, it is no different. 

There are no strings in my healing relationship with you on any level (my higher and lower self will not allow it). I wish to remain free and un-encumbered from that which would only interfere with my greater work and happiness (if I were to ensnare, cord or hook you into my energy field, I would be equally trapped). Once my Spirit is finished working with you, I/we totally remove ourselves from your energy field. After that, your life and what you choose to do with it is between you and God.

Though I do have my own set of beliefs, teachings and opinions about things (which I freely share with you here) I don't expect or ask you to have the same. Ultimately, everyone's' guidance is quite unique and individual to their particular needs and make up. However, there are times when Spirit senses you are not listening to a Higher Truth, and asks for an objective consciousness to intervene. If I am thus guided to convey such messages to you, I will strive to be true to that inner voice and do so, even at the risk of losing you as a client (which has happened). On the outside chance that such information may benefit you (either now or further down the road) it will not be a loss. I have learned not to be in judgment of what may be coming through from spirit (I do trust that it is always with your highest and best interests in mind). Irregardless, whatever information I share with you, you are always in choice to accept or reject it.

The Spirit that is working with and through me is empowered to open and clear the doors and passageways between the inner worlds... so that you may further expand the light of your awareness and come to know the spirit that you are.

It is my wish that through this work, your human self may more clearly hear the messages from your Higher Spirit Self, but it is up to your human will to act upon that inspiration or not. As the saying goes...
"you can lead a horse to water but you cannot force him to drink".. 
or...

I can help open you to receiving the answers within
but only you can follow that truth...

The idea of my work is to get you to a point where you can tap into your own spiritual source... and not have to run to a psychic (or me for that matter) for the answers to all your questions (I've got other more important things to do than run your life). However, if you allow me, I can be a most powerful ally to help you achieve your own spiritual goals and destiny in this life time... dissolving all that stands between you and you dream... your glorious purpose.

Spirit Works Through People
To some degree or another (depending upon how clear and large an opening there is in your being) everyone is a channel for their Higher Self to work through. The Higher Self that works with and through David here is an individualized spiritual being with particular purposes and gifts. It should be noted here that not all spirit beings are empowered or able to do all things. Just as humans have different areas of expertise and function, so to do the beings in spirit specialize in certain areas of work. (Your spirit also has a unique specialty. Are you curious what that could be ?).

Among many things, this spiritual master (David's Higher Self) has developed or accumulated the abilities, knowledge and powers that allow him to do healings. On your behalf, David (the lower self of his being that exists in this world) is able to pray, petition, intercede, or mediate with his Higher Self (existing in the Spirit realms). In other words, he is able to consciously communicate with and call forth or "request" his Higher Self to do the healings.  Since the energy and consciousness of this Spirit Being is (to some extent) grounded in (and can channel through) David (from the physical dimension on up) their is a qualitative and quantitative difference... and greater range of effectiveness... in his work. 

David Raphael Isaacson
  David works as the primary and focalized incarnation and channel of an ancient (and well known) multi- dimensional being. In the past, he has worked closely with Jesus the Christ, Commander Ashtar, Lord Buddha, Archangel Michael, Divine Mother, and many others of the spiritual hierarchy. He has a pure attunement to the Divine Directive (or "Universal Plan"), expressing in his work the spiritual authority, healing power, transformational consciousness, divine light, and will of the master.

David the person is a human being (just like you) experiencing the unique opportunities offered in this dimension. He is totally committed to the enlightenment of all beings and the ascension of the whole planetary body into the higher dimensions.

Awakening
David was first awakened to the spiritual path when he was about 15 years old, upon reading Martin Bubers "Tales of the Hassidim" (a collection of stories of Jewish mystics and miracle workers of 16th-19th century Europe).
At the age of 17 he became an "Eagle Scout" of the Boy Scouts of America.
At the beginning of his third year of studies at the University of California (Irvine), he read "The Autobiography of a Yogi" by Parmahansa Yogananda, and felt compelled to leave school to persue his spiritual quest.
He investigated many religious traditions (Jewish, Christian, Moslem, Taoist, Buddhist, Hindu, American Indian) and spiritual paths and practices (Sufi, Subud, Siddha Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Dowsing, Spiritual Response Therapy...).
He was married and has fathered two beautiful children.
After completing 2 years of pre-med studies, he was accepted into and studied at Western States Chiropractic College, The Oregon School of Massage, and after 3 years of post graduate education at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, receiving in 1992 his Masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (see Acupuncture > a curious experiment & why I left acupuncture ).
A year later, he consciously became aware of the "Inner Master", which began a course of intense prayer, meditation, and inner study.
Knowing full well that one cannot give what one has not received, David has worked with - and received a considerable amount of energy work from - many other healers.
Constantly being inwardly guided in all aspects of his life, David received that he needed to retire from his medical practice in order to whole heartedly devote his full attention to developing and eventually sharing his unique healing gifts with the world...and here we are.

All those sincere seekers who are willing to go beyond their limitations and comfort zones are invited to experience this work.

Awakening
(The Other Version - A Shortened Story)
Stored away in some part of the Inner/ Higher Self... hidden beyond and underneath the mundane reality of everyday life... there resides the accumulated memory and knowledge of all things spiritual, including all ones latent gifts and talents (the result of efforts taken over countless past lives, in this and other dimensions). The first challenge for the incarnated soul (enchanted and intoxicated by the illusions of this dimension) is in Waking Up to this greater reality, or at least in Acknowledging the Awareness ... even to entertaining the Possibility that there Is - or could be - A Greater Reality, and you are (more or less) a conscious participant in it. This is the first hurdle on the spiritual path... awakening from ignorance (that you are even reading the information in this web site shows me that you are on the search, or at the least, awakening). 

 It began to dawn on my consciousness (ever since reading "Tales of the Hassidim" and "Autobiography of a Yogi") that there was something more to life... that there was some greater purpose for me in being alive, that there was something that I was sent here to seek out. As a man, we usually are inundated with the cultural and biological messages that this is found in relationships with women.. and on a certain level this was my truth, but that was only part of it.. I sensed there was more to my life than the pursuit of pleasure and the conventional traditions of family and work. I began to sense a gnawing itch in the back of my mind... a precognitive knowing that some "priceless treasure" existed, and I had to find "It". Over the skepticism of my friends and family, I acknowledged hearing the faint call of some as yet unknown voice... feeling a yearning within my heart that "there must be more!".... Thus began my search.

Some people are rudely and painfully awakened through some cataclysmic trauma (such as a near death experience). I suppose that such an event wasn't the necessary motivation or catalyst needed for me to me to go through this "veil", yet there were a number of "little deaths" and big disappointments that pushed me over the edge, over and over.... 

A divorce from the supposed love of my life (and soul mate)...  with the subsequent loss of my beautiful children (when they flew away to the other side of the world, literally) was, at the very least, a death of the notion of living "happily ever after" fantasy. This was a big death for me, yet there was born a massive commitment that I would overcome and heal that inside which led to this happening. Suffice it to say that I am (or have been at any rate) the archetypal "wounded healer". 

For 2 years (about this same time) I was studying with a so called "Guru" (no one you know), who I was led to believe was this great spiritual master. After I found out he was physically and sexually abusing some of his students, I began to entertain the possibility that he and his teachings, thus my own spirituality, was all a lie. Such a disappointment. Everything about spirituality that I had believed in was now in question... how could such a "spiritual" being do these sorts of things ? (I get letters from clients who have had similar experiences). I can see why people easily get disenchanted in the spiritual path... the people on it (and the leaders) are all human... with human character flaws, failures, shortcomings, weaknesses... but don't throw "the baby" (the spiritual) out with the bath water...there is still some good to be shared amongst us "imperfect" humans. Fortunately, I did have another spiritual friend who helped me through this crisis. However, there was a subtle shift in my focus.. from off the outer .. and more to the inner teacher.

Also along the way, I had spent a number of years invested in academia, following my other (so called) "dream" to be involved in the healing profession. I thought I was to be a chiropractor... and I eventually worked my way into chiropractic school. Two weeks into the second semester, I had a powerful dream. I saw myself standing in front of the class (of some 130 people) and saying that ...
"I was dropping out.. that this wasn't for me... that I am not going to follow through on something that is really not making me happy, no matter how much I have invested in this choice... it is never too late to shift gears and go another path".
This was a very odd dream to have at the beginning of my schooling. When I really looked at myself in light of this dream, I realized that I wasn't happy doing this trip. I should be excited about waking up every morning and going to school... not dreading it. This was "I thought", the fulfillment of my "dream", and here I was... not excited ???? I had invested so much of my ego identity, time, money, hopes and fantasies on this path to being a chiropractor.. what was I to do if I gave it up ? Yet I had all these other feelings, and this dream... It did seem like a clear message... do I take action on it and do something quite unconventional and quit, or ignore what my inner is telling me ? Right or wrong, I  decided to listen to the messages I was getting, and quit school... just the way my dream showed me. A year later I heard that 2 senior class students killed themselves (to bad they didn't hear my speech). Little did I realize how soon the wall of blackness descended in front of my life... I had followed my dream and here I was, left with my shattered hopes, no discernable future, a big student loan, and lots of disappointment. What was I to do ? One thing led to another...  and I ended up going to and completing Acupuncture school.......  Ok, I started my practice, yet there was still something itching me from the inside... I had gotten some pieces to the puzzle of life, yet after all this work, I didn't feel that Acupuncture was the end all answer for me, and this was disturbing... I finally got "somewhere" (see the diplomas on the wall ?!?!) and still my soul wouldn't let go of this search....

In the meanwhile, I was learning new things (outside of traditional oriental medicine) and I began to feel like I could never come back to the old ways (like they say, "once the country boy goes to Paris, he can never go back to the farm"). I didn't quite realize this yet, as I was still holding on to this idea that I was an Acupuncturist. A few years later, I had the opportunity to go to Saudi Arabia to work (as an Acupuncturist) in an alternative health clinic, with the potential to make a lot of money (and pay my student loans off in 2 years.. WOW YEA !). After 3 months waiting, the clinic owner could not get his licenses (politics in Arabia.. ya gotta love it) and we were all sent back home. Well, about this time (after interest on my unpaid student loans started to grow even more outrageous) I started to read the writing on the wall... forget Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (actually, it was more like @#*&! Acupuncture !)... I have done my part... this door is just not opening for me ! Spirituality 101... "when one door closes, another opens." Ok Spirit, where is the open door.. where are the "Yesses" ?
Throughout the past few years, I had been working on this "other healing stuff".... I wasn't quite sure what to call "it", or what "it" actually is, or even if I can earn a living doing "it", but "it" sure was interesting and I was getting amazing results... besides, my heart is soooo into "it"... I figured, ok, the "A" (acupuncture) door is closed, let's see where door "B" takes me....  and here we are..... The rest, they say, is history.
(I think I am finished with door "J" right about now, ready to pop through door "K" any time soon).

  I have learned much of what I can do and who I am... but the journey of life (and process of discovery) continues....

Acknowledgments
 Over time and with much assistance, I have become a clear enough channel so that I may be able to communicate with my Inner/Higher Self. By carefully listening to and strictly adhering to the guidance and direction of this inner voice, the light, energy and consciousness of the Higher Inner Self has been more and more "grounded" into the physical, and my healing work has expanded accordingly. A very big part of my path (assisting  with this clearing and grounding) has been to follow the guidance to receive (and often exchange) healings from many talented beings who have had a certain piece of my "puzzle". No matter how great or small, long or short the work (and association) has been, I would like to thankfully acknowledge a few of these beings for their unique gifts and special influences in my life : 

Shirley and Martin Isaacson, Greet Van Oyen, Jacques Wetselar, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, Swami Muktananda, Sedra Ranae, Ruth Childs, Audie Davison, Frank Jordan, Robert Detsler, Donald Walters, Gemma Smith, Mary Margaret Rose, Anita Stewart, Racquel Palmesi, Jeannie Mackie, Annie Chapman, Grace Stevens, Onofree Chico, Hilary Swank, and Charles McCall....

Not wanting to exclude any one else who has worked with me throughout this and many other lifetimes... I do thank you... one and all.

Just like you, my other purpose in being here is that I too may be healed and evolve beyond my own limitations. As a side effect of the work I have received from all these beings (embodied or in spirit)... all that I have healed, surrendered, and opened up to of my own Soul... this is what I can offer you.

Giving and Receiving... the Flow Continues.......

My Limitations
I don't change water to wine
(I have been know to have a drink of it once in a while though).
I don't walk on water (except puddles, ice and snow).
I don't levitate
(I have flown in an airplane, even jumped out of one once).
I don't de-materialize, teleport, or create physical manifestations out of thin air (yet)...
but I am working on it all
(and I'm crazy enough to believe that one day I shall).
