I was born with a serious spiritual consciousness and for many years studied different paths.

You can take away the money and the fame. I don't look at myself as any of those things.

You just realize that you can't turn a lefthand corner in a right posture without exposing some part of your body, and so it was really me just noticing the exposure I had, and it made me start doing and practicing the switching.

The most important seed I can sow in this life is my children, and the love and knowledge that I can bestow upon them and the help I can give them.

People all over the world recognize me as a spiritual leader.
