Dr. Guerin is a psychologist with two master's degrees and a doctorate in human development. In addition, he has been an adjunct professor in psychology for over 20 years. His personal experience has followed the global trend called “the rise of the nones.” These are people who view themselves as spiritual but do not identify with any organized religion. He experienced this transition after decades pursuing a deeper spiritual life through a tumultuous relationship with organized religion. The result was the development of 12 Lessons that took him beyond religion to spiritual freedom. Dr. Guerin’s conclusions are that we are angels; eternal, connected, and capable beyond belief.
