Faculty Advisor George Donnelly
"We are far more powerful than we think"

Weekdays you’ll find AIHT faculty member George Donnelly, D.C. grading tests, essays and other student projects, answering calls and emails. Some evenings, his next stop is Touch of Light, a holistic healing center he shares with another network chiropractor and a hypnotherapist. Within spiritual communities in Birmingham, Brooklyn and Atlanta, over the years George has co-facilitated prosperity classes and enlightening visits from Marianne Williamson and other metaphysicians, “sprinkling some light” wherever life leads.

Recently, like some of his AIHT cohorts, George the lifelong learner discovered a deep resonance in the far-reaching metaphysical blockbuster movie, What the BLEEP Do We Know—an entertaining “story” wrapped around truths and mysteries as deep as the universe. Amid sound bytes with an other-worldly mix of scientists and philosophers, its myriad of centuries-old messages are both simple and utterly profound.

Seeking to learn more about how we can each become what the movie calls The Ultimate Observer, George embarked on a summertime vision quest in the Pacific Northwest for nine unforgettable days and nights of experiential intensives.

“At the Ramtha School of Enlightenment each lesson reminds us that we are more powerful than we think,” he explains, adding that the four tenants of its teachings are:

• You are God.
• Consciousness and energy create the nature of reality.
• We are here to make known the unknown.
• We are here to conquer ourselves.

These and countless other Ramtha-isms offer tangible touchstones toward magnificent manifestation. George described how the teachings of biology, quantum physics, neurology and chemistry literally come to life in nature, as each participant “does the disciplines.”

One of his most memorable experiences took place in a huge fenced pasture. It involved wearing a blindfold and deeply visualizing one’s strongest intentions. Their instructions were to focus so fully as to lose any and all sense of distraction, even amid being jostled by other students and repeatedly rerouted and redirected. “This exercise obviously brought up a lot of stuff,” George added.

So enthralling was this adventure that, at press-time, George had returned for an autumn retreat and more workshops.

“Our biggest challenge as humans is to dissolve the limiting belief that we are our personality,” he concludes. “The goal is to quiet the mind and think a new thought, and know that we are more than our personalities.”
