Larry grew up in the foothills of  Studio City, California, as the son of an inventive genius who introduced him to multiple ways of perceiving any sensed experience…rather than only reacting to input and opportunities. Thomas A. Stevens [see Chapter Two excerpt, “Saucer in the Hills,” from Table of Contents] was a trouble-shooting expert in experimental aircraft design/flight-test work, assigned to Kelly Johnson and Lockheed Aircraft’s infamous “Skunk Works,” in Burbank, California. The senior Stevens had a favorite saying...one Larry was gifted to hear often during his insatiably curious and sometimes precipitous childhood: “What you don’t have in your head, son, you must have in your feet or your pocketbook.”

Emulating his father’s interest in aviation, Larry applied for and was accepted into the U.S. Navy's intensive 18 to 20-month flight training (NAVCAD) program, September of 1963. He received his commission as Ensign and the coveted Wings of Gold on the 5th of May, 1965. During the next three plus years, while repetitively flying into and from the many South Vietnamese airfields, Larry encountered multiple, paranormal-like interventions that while life-extending, defied any rational explanation. Later, after an equal number of years as a pilot for Western Airlines®, Larry continued on what became a thirty-year quest to uncover the mysteries of the extraordinary, or miraculous. This examination included a short stint as reserve UFO investigator for the well-respected Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization (APRO), based in Tucson, Arizona. 

Larry's relentless prodding into what some refer to as the “Supernatural,” intensified a metaphysical calling. This eventually led, in 1998, to an invitation to join an avant-garde discipline combining the philosophical, secular-oriented Holographic Psychology (HP), with the transpersonal aspects of Science of Spirit. SOS...HP with a transcendent inclusion...embraces all the psychological and mystery schools in its cooperative facilitation. A primary focus of this foremost, California-based empowerment group is to observe and chart the relationship between a person's motivated interest, inherent talents (within the personality matrix), and what is theorized as Spiritual-realm DNA.

Larry, Director of Education for LACCRS, is primarily involved with field testing the involutionary properties and stages of human freewill, gratitude, allowance, and appreciation...often referred to as a “state of grace” within the sacred community. Larry's practice includes presentation of a self-actualized, multi-sensory method to help expand one's reality/awareness levels and synchronicity (luck) quotient. By using contemplative attunements and directed visualization, awakening persons can generally enhance their neutral observation (remote viewing) capability...allowing then for internalized, quality-of-life replacement for non-serving thoughts, feelings, and those sabotaging habit-patterns often associated with the inner-mental critic. HP team members call this neutral refereeing capability “LOCATION of COMPREHENSION.”

While also volunteering as a Community Coordinator for the Institute of Noetic Sciences (NorCo IONS), Larry maintains a personal empowerment (quantum HEART-shift) coaching practice.

And now...here's Larry!

MY TRANSPERSONAL ROLE

Aloha and Namaste! To outline my participation in our journey together, I feel it important to establish something—especially with my agnostic-based brothers and sisters—before we take any leaps into the elsewhere areas. Even during my most arrogant and deluded years, I never saw myself as a person of especially remarkable gifts. I do not purport to be a Seer, Sage, Guru, Svengali, or Messiah...just a reasonably observant, very curious guy that’s been actively (sometimes passively) participating in extraordinary events and circumstances. Afterwards, it did not take a rocket scientist to follow the bread crumbs...especially by one as isolated and alone-feeling as I.

I use contemplative attunements as a method to clarify thought, feeling, and experiential meaning. Although I’m having FUN with the “Soul-Man/Soul-Woman” integration, I do not represent any independent or separate voice of God, Souls, Angels, or the Eternal Forces. Nor do I believe any other person acts in that exclusive capacity. I repeatedly demonstrate the liberation inherent in accepting our meaning-maker status...and therefore captaincy of our own LIFE SHIP.

Consider this SoulMan your guide for a wonderful adventure of Spirit. And before we kick in the afterburner...know that we all visualize and imagine God, or other entities with which we resonate—both now and during our glorious transition—according to our uniquely expressed beliefs. I find the energy of Souls, Spiritual Guides, and Angels, even when differentiated, meaningful for me. Spiritual metaphors symbolize the ONENESS of our existence, so use the labels that personally serve you. I won’t spoil your FUN by suggesting it’s all the same stuff—at least for now.
