The Website hasn’t been fully developed yet (6/2026), but we hope to have it up and running in August. Hopefully sooner, but we have a lot of wonderful projects in development, that we will are excited to share with you soon.
Our “Metta:Universe”™ started back in 2011 with Mettatations™ and has continued to expand year by year. Mettapeutics is a combination of programs and practices, tools, philosophy and positive psychology, and sociobiology and neuroscience, East and West, ancient and modern, plus some yoga and… more.
Mettapeutics is more than transformational, it’s positively transmutational. And it is surprisingly, quick and simple. In a complex and dynamic world, once you clear away all of the noise, lose the ego and it’s ‘story,’ move from an external to an internal loci, then you can find and focus on what is real, to see and work on the building blocks within each of us.
“While both words mean to change from one state to another, transform alters the external appearance, shape, or function, while transmute alters the fundamental essence, nature, or internal structure.”
Mettapeutics is the culmination of 40+ years of research, experience, and immersion into everything from Physics and Quantum Entanglements, to Social-Biological-Individual Psychology+, to Eastern and Western Philosophies, to Business Strategy, Marketing, OD, and Level 5 Leadership. This is the synthesis of all of them. There are so many tools, and so much research, and knowledge, and practices that exist out in the world that most people have never heard of, let alone been taught about, or instructed how to do. It’s truly mind-blowing what is available, and what can be created.
Mettapeutics is the ‘complete’ system of several interrelated, congruent, and complementary programs. The first, Mettatations is a holistic synthesis of several practices and frameworks. The central goal is learning how to cultivate the nine cardinal, primordial fundamentals.
Once one knows how to cultivate, and begins to understand the workings, flaws, and power of the mind, The Shi Hou Practice™ can facilitate healing traumatic events, core wounds, and strengthening emotional intelligence and create psychological growth. How? Here’s one piece of that complex or simple puzzle: Our memories are relative and subjective. Did you know every time you have a ‘memory’ you change it? The brain stores feelings, and the truth of the details are not reliable. When you have a memory, it is influenced by your current mental state, you may remember some details, but the brain fills in (makes up, or in AI terms : hallucinates) most of the details.
By Mettatating™ you can create deep, unyielding, “PsychoSomatic Wellness.” An unshakeable, impenetrable PsychoSomatic Resilience forged of Peace, Compassion, Forgiveness, Wisdom, Love, and Strength. Yes, it’s possible. I’ve done it. I’ve taught it, and there is a very tangible shift of energy when my clients/students achieve it.
Now, that we’ve learned to heal, and unhook some of our mental, emotional, and relational anchors, we can really start to fundamentally improve and increase our baseline level of happiness and work towards living the life we want to, and that we were meant to live. And that’s the beginning of LifeShaping101 and it’s derivatives: LoveShaping101 and LeaderShaping101.
But wait, there’s more… that we will continue at another time. But this gives you an introduction to some of what Mettapeutics, et al, is about and what it creates. And if I can ever find the time, I have at least 5 books I can write on each of these and the synthesis with the others. Plus the next 4 parts of the Mettapeutics System, the “Metta:Universe.”
Mettapeutics & Business: an unlikely, but inevitable synthesis.
In a business context, the “Metta:Universe” is a foundation for Level 5 Leadership, high-functioning teams and individuals, and transmutational growth for the entire company, from the President / CEO to the intern and entry level job. It is a foundational, culture changing platform unlike anything that has come before it. We know that is a lot to promise, and that there have been dozens and dozens of ‘business fads’ over the past 40+ years, but those all lacked several foundational components.
Mettapeutics was just built differently from day one. First, it wasn’t built; it was discovered, and then it developed. Second, it wasn’t built for business, it was built for people. But, we’d argue that if you don’t transform/transmute the people, you can’t really evolve a company without a lot of negative consequences along the way. Third, it is grounded in neuroscience, positive psychology, social-psychology, sociobiology, organizational development and level 5 leadership. Fourth, it was built for people, but people live in relations, in systems, in environments, and that is another foundation on which we we’ve built; people don’t live in isolation, so true personal development has to unequivocally include the dynamics of relationships. And that all translates to organizations, which is a collection of individuals and the dynamic relationships between them both within the organization and how it interacts with the world outside of the organization.
And change is here, and more change is coming. The companies that thrive (not just survive) during this AI revolution need to have an active strategy for organizational change and development; and that includes personal / personnel development.
That’s it for now.
