Gary De Rodriguez may be a saver of souls, but it is his groundbreaking approach to the science of the psyche—not blind faith—that has enabled personal salvation for so many. While mentoring others toward deep inner change and spiritual healing has been his life’s work, this professional coach knows it is intellectual discipline and indeed science that paves the way toward achieving life fulfillment. And now, through his boutique-style training seminars held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, others in the helping professions can acquire the tools De Rodriguez has honed for twenty-five years, the most notable of which is Neuro Linguistic Programming or “NLP.”
According to the principles of NLP, to feel better one must first know better. By releasing stale paradigms—by shedding the old stories we carry with us like security blankets through the corridors of our lives—we can access the normally untapped power of our minds. Once this happens, possibilities for change abound as the subconscious mind begins to mirror the positive instead of the negative. While those who practice NLP understand that thought patterns can be prophetic, they also believe that harmful thoughts can be identified and permanently changed, thus effecting a different reality. The results are life transforming.
De Rodriguez should know. If the school of hard knocks could elect a valedictorian, he would win by a landslide. The biracial child of an alcoholic family in 1950s America, De Rodriguez spent the first eighteen years of his life searching for the pill that would allow him to escape the slow torture of his existence. Drugs, incest, abuse, and a codependent relationship with his suicidal mother took De Rodriguez to the brink of his own death more than once.
Then, in his late teens, he had a spiritual revelation. Within twenty-four hours, De Rodriguez quit smoking, drinking, and doing drugs. But this was not enough to quiet the deafening dialogue of self-hatred and shame that had haunted him his entire life. De Rodriguez traveled to India and began studying meditation under a Sikh known as a “Perfect Living Master.” After living in northern India intermittently for eighteen years, De Rodriguez returned to North America permanently, burning with the desire to bring hope and healing to a spiritually ill society.
In the mid eighties, De Rodriguez aligned with his cohorts to launch the first HIV/AIDS support organization in San Diego. Through his work with the AIDS community, he discovered Neuro Linguistic Programming, a relatively new technology developed to help people overcome patterns of pain and suffering and ultimately reach their highest potential. De Rodriguez had uncovered his gift, and his prayer to effect change in a world desperate for healing had finally been answered.
“Heaven or Hell happens between the ears,” says De Rodriguez. “To find Heaven you must stop worshipping at the temple of your story—of your past—and focus on where you want to go in the future. NLP shows us how to move through our stories, move through our pain, and rewrite the future according to our authentic desires.”
In developed nations, mental health disorders are reaching epidemic proportions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression will rank second only to heart disease as the world’s most crippling health problem. Rodriguez knows that North American society has the ability to turn this around, “but it will not happen en masse,” he says. “It will be through the ripple effects of intention and education in the personal change technologies such as NLP. These technologies for personal and professional expansion were not available to previous generations, but they are readily available to individuals and professionals alike today. We now have the ability to heal spiritual wounds and shield our planet and ourselves from the darker days that may lie ahead.”
