The Circle of Self-ascension

Wisdom Teacher Sri Ram Kaa was born in 1952, the Year of the Dragon. As a ‘triple Cancer” he wrestled with creativity, sensitivity, and depth of perception since birth. Sri’s early adult years were marked by entrepreneurship. He started several small companies, and while working full-time, earned an MBA.

In the mid 1980’s Sri was intrigued by the emerging computer industry and he developed software programs and computer-guided machines that opened new market niches. His innovations received rapid acceptance and his designs and products were marketed globally in 22 countries. This rapid growth caught the eye of stock market professionals who encouraged him to take his company public.

Sri’s business success attracted demanding shareholders who sought financial rewards. This financial pre-occupation stimulated a “soul anxiety”, and he soon felt imprisoned by the very corporation he had created. One year following his public stock offering, new competition, from Japan and Microsoft, overwhelmed his young company. His public corporation was forced into a bankruptcy that brought him to his knees.

With the bankruptcy, the life Sri had identified with was gone; shame and terror replaced it.  It was the chasm of the void…the crossroads of his life. His despair stimulated an inner search and the truth of authentic beingness began to be recognized.

Sri chose to listen inwardly and follow the irrational nudges of his heart and intuition. Sri applied his business skills part time to maintain a paycheck while studying with Indigenous Shamans and entering graduate school. In two intense years Sri obtained his Masters Degree in Psychology while also pursuing extensive holistic health training. He opened a successful counseling practice in Seattle, Washington and soon he recognized that emotional problems were exacerbated by a desire to conform to conventional norms. Many clients’ distress was actually related to their expanding authenticity.

Motivated by a desire to understand the mysteries and the energies that underpin our experience, Sri became a Reiki master, clinical hypnotherapist, and over the next several years he received certifications in over 24 different healing modalities.

Sri’s unquenchable thirst for unraveling the mysteries led him to the emerging field of Medical Intuition. His intuitive aptitude led him to become an accomplished Medical Intuitive and he later taught at the Stillpoint Institute, where he had previously trained. His private practice revealed that there were two basic orientations of clients, those who wanted to cope and conform to cultural norms and those clients who sought expansion or enlightenment.
