Life After STAT - And Terror

by Jeremy Chance

Everything changed after 2 years.

It started in 2002 when I was struck down an escalator and dislocated my arm - my wife had just walked away with our baby daughter Angelica and I was lying in agony at the bottom of the moving stairs. I screamed out her name louder than I ever have before.

“JALDHARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

A Boy Scout Becomes a Liar

by Jeremy Chance

In 1999 - as I was negotiating the start of ATA|BodyChance in Japan - I was accused of being “a boy scout”. It was meant as an insult - that I was naïve, with no sense of the real world.

But actually, I was quite proud of that insult.

The Little Fred in my Head

by Jeremy Chance

“You have to go to Japan.”

I am walking along Crown street in Sydney - on my way to teach a class at the Actor’s Centre in 1995 - when this thought arrives in my head. Truly, it happened. I don’t remember thinking much about Japan before then, so where did this thought come from?

1995 - An Unexpected Thought

by Jeremy Chance

Having arrived back in 1991 on the shores of Sydney - both bereft and broken - I started to put my life back together.

One of my important decisions was to find spiritual guidance. I had been a big fan of Werner Erhardt and “The Forum” - his more grown-up version of EST - but now I was broke. I couldn’t afford those kinds of “yah! Yah!” topline change-your-life type seminars.

Rejoicing Our Profession

by Jeremy Chance

Today is just too busy to sit down and write another post, but I want to keep to my daily commitment. So I am going to cheat. I am sending a message I wrote in 2016 - just before Trump became President of the USA - which briefly explains what happened to me in 1991, as well as one of those dreams I talked about:

Write it down - and it will happen: I haven’t changed a word from the original, 7 years ago.

The original link of the post is shown at the bottom.

An Australian Auteur Vanishes

by Jeremy Chance

To explain what happened next during my desperate return to Sydney in 1991, I have to go further back to briefly describe how I initially got involved in Alexander’s bloody discovery.

Because to become a teacher, I had to end my boyhood dream of becoming an Australian film director.

The End of My Beginning & The Beginning of My End

by Jeremy Chance

As part of this series, I have been wondering when I first realised the contribution financial health gives to being an effective communicator of Alexander’s Discovery.

For me, I think it was in 1991.

How Japan Solved my Problem in the Edo Era (1603 to 1867)

by Jeremy Chance

“So Jeremy, is your training part of the STAT-affiliated societies, or more ATI ?”

I had to laugh.

“Neither” I replied, “It’s Japanese”

***

The Sakoku Edict of 1635 endeavoured to cleanse and purify Japan of any foreign influence - including making it a capital offence to leave Japan. No kidding - you’d lose your head if you tried to leave. Today - just as the civil war still rages in the minds of many Americans - so Japanese remain an isolated people.
