MysterE is an Evolutionary Guide.
As an evolutionary author, poet, artist, musician, sound healer, labyrinth designer, and community leader - MysterE is on a mission of forgiveness - to band together with other Black Sheep to create the New Earth.
MysterE’s journey began in earnest in 1997, when faced with bankruptcy, he met his first spiritual teacher, and began learning the art of non-resistance. In 2002, after a nationally recognized successful run in financial service sales, on the day before 9/11, he abruptly halted selling to write: Your LifeBuilder: Ride the Vision of Your Life - a book about vision. Within one year, he was touring the country with audiences between 50-1,100, and had met his Guru - and was told by him; spirituality has never been a business, and it never will be. Presented with a riddle in a commercial world by an affluent spiritual teacher, this paradox became the driving force of his life’s mission.
MysterE’s message has been consistent since 2009, when he briefly found himself homeless after losing his business, home and family structure after an extended illness. Through a series of seven lucid dreams, he was given the instructions for how to create from nothing - a useful skill in times of great change. These instructions are The Evolutionary Guidebook, which describes our now reality of being faced with rapid change, and how to let go of our limited perception to create something new.
In 2015, he established the River House MysterE School with $8 in quarters to his name after receiving a vision to establish a center for the great awakening and not to charge money for services. For 8 years MysterE and his community build an AirBnb business and served the local community with yoga, meals, beds, meditation, friendship and love - operating purely on donations and the Airbnb income stream.
In 2018, like the rest of his books, MysterE suddenly found himself receiving information which foreshadowed a Great Awakening (the pandemic) and a process for how to efficiently confront the shadow we all carry, and alchemize the darkness into Light. These instructions are in Amusement Park: The Game is Change. In this book, the 5th Ace Emerged in the final scene as an ominous sign of change. The 5th Ace is the first card in a new suit, New Earth - which eventually became a part of the 5-suited tarot deck: New Earth Tarot.
In late 2019, MysterE began to receive information about a shift into a compassionate economic system and produced a short video saying, the world is about to change. On March 13, 2020, he released a template for learning the fundamentals of the Compassionate Economy by restoring one’s inner vision, in the Five Aces Academy - the day before the US lockdown.
Later in 2020, the stress of the pandemic fractured the community, presenting him with an Impossible Problem. Concurrently, MysterE was re-introduced to the Tarot and A Course in Miracles while co-establishing Lunar Cycle Relating - An Evolved Way of Intimate Relationship and the Lunar Empowerment Course online.
In 2021, MysterE received the instructions for how to repair one’s vision in the face of a shattered heart and confused mind to align with the True Self. This solution to the Impossible Problem is published as Spark in September ‘21.
By the Spring of 2022, with the world changing quickly and the property of the River House MysterE School up for sale, MysterE dismantled the school - effectively terminating his income and residence for 10 years - to care Mr. E. Dan Smith II, MysterE’s father - who about to enter the hospital to remove a massive brain tumor. Realizing his life was shifting dramatically with family duty calling, MysterE moved to Nashville, TN for two months. After 69 days in the hospital, MysterE’s father restored his health, and MysterE became a nomad.
In late 2022, while studying Marconics Advanced Energy Healing back in Colorado, MysterE got the instructions on what to do next, and published Book IX as: Deal With It Now - It Bothers You for a Reason. With Winter coming, and a student offering him an automobile, MysterE hit the road in the Southeastern US to visit people he’d known since childhood and continued to practice the wisdom he channeled in his books. It was a 69 day trip.
Just after New Years 2023, MysterE retreated to Sayulita, Mexico to integrate the last 26 years of spiritual journeying. In Sayulita, MysterE found a welcoming space, and developed community with tourists, the homeless and locals alike, offering meditation, yoga, tarot and counsel. In Sayulita, MysterE met Keeley Brand, who is now the Empress in the New Earth Tarot, and joins MysterE on the II of Cups.
In Sayulita, MysterE took the time to condense all of his learning, teaching and experience into one game: The Game of E - and received a vision offer Mass Forgiveness Ceremonies to as many people as possible.
Book X: It Just Happens to Me was published chapter by chapter in August of 2023 - and is currently being reformatted as the first book in a 6 book series, entitled “Surprises on the Horizon.”
In the Spring of 2024. MysterE and Keeley hit the road in search of their spiritual home and landed in Sedona, AZ after getting married in Taos, NM.
MysterE believes our environment is changing faster than we know, and that our best course correction is Mass Forgiveness to relieve everyone of the density of shame, regret, guilt and anger - only then will we be able to see how to efficiently respond to our Collective Impossible Problem.
It is our collective vision that creates our reality.
If we want a peaceful reality, we must release all the past -
For the past, like the future cannot exist.
Unless we think about it, then it persists.
