“I always say, when the voice and the vision on the inside become more profound, clear,Dr. John Demartini was born in 1954 in Houston, Texas on Thanksgiving
Day. At an early age, John wore hand and leg braces to correct a birth defect.
When he entered school, he had difficulty in learning to read, write and speak.
Eventually, he was diagnosed with dyslexia and a speech impediment. In first
grade, his teacher told his parents that he would never read, write, communicate,
and never amount to anything. At the age of 14, John left school and headed for Hawaii. At 17, he had a near- death experience. These early challenges set the
scene for a remarkable transformation in his late teens.
John was a high school drop-out, unable to read or write when he met a 93
year old man called Paul Bragg. Paul helped John to awaken an inspired vision of
becoming a philosopher and a teacher.
John made a commitment to dedicate his life to the understanding of
universal laws as they relate to maximizing human potential. Becoming
determined and focus, is what fueled John’s success into mastering reading and
writing. He graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in 1978 from the
University of Houston. He went on the study Chiropractic at the Texas
Chiropractic College where he graduated in 1982 at the top of his class.
Dr. Demartini travels over 360 days a year to over 56 countries, where he
shares his research and findings across the globe. He is the author of over forty
books published in 14 different languages along producing numerous CDs and
DVDs.
Dr. Demartini states, “When you believe you can not read or learn and you
then discover that you can, it awakens an insatiable appetite for knowledge.” When I learned about Dr. Demartini’s life, I reflect my own life. We have a
number of similar occurrences. I was born with two defects. However, I knew I
had to take the first step in learning to walk. I knew I had to endure three eye
surgeries along with completing daily eye exercises. Something inside of me,
knew this. In addition, I taught myself to read. I was always day-dreaming in
class. I remembering sitting in the hallway by the kitchen. My mother was always
in the kitchen preparing the evening meal. I would read out loud hoping she
would help me. Once in awhile she did, but usually I had to figure the words out
myself. When it came to writing, I used discarded paper bags with crayons to
practice my skills. My dreamed was to become a famous children’s author.
Currently, I have been given a contract to write three, middle-grade chapter
books for a private publishing company.
I believe that when you are told that something can not be changed, it
becomes more of a passion to change it. When my son returned home after
running away, I knew I had to find a way to help him. I knew there had to be a cure for autism.
