Pointers: What You Will Find When Investigating Who You Are

John Landré is a retired businessman. During the first half of his career he designed optical devices. The past twenty five years he spent researching growth in consciousness.

Mr. Landré holds a master’s degree in physics. He started a medical instrument company in 1974. After several years at the helm of this company, he discovered that for him the most meaningful part of running a business is to help facilitate the growth of his coworkers. So he looked into what personal growth is and how it differs from person to person. From Brian P. Hall he learned how to objectively measure what it is that different people consider meaningful and how this interacts with growth in consciousness. He then applied Hall’s methods in the work place to create a work environment conducive to personal growth.

After selling his company in 1986 Mr. Landré inquired further how growth in consciousness takes place, both in theory and in practice. Specifically for transcendental growth in consciousness he learned much from spiritual masters such as Merrell-Wolff, Wilber, Cohen, Shankara, Sri Ramana, Sri Nisargadatta, Sri Aurobindo, Balsekar, and Liquorman. A discipline of regular meditation has resulted in numerous transcendental experiences that confirm the teachings of these mystics.
