​​​​MIKE RATNER PhD

The first thing most people ask is if I prefer being called Mike or Michael of which I typically reply that it doesn't matter and that I've been called far worse things.  It all makes for an interesting life.

,

I’m what you might define as a busy so-and-so social entrepreneur who engages community and a lot of people behind the scenes yet by most standards seems unemployable and is involved in nobody's business.  I am not perplexed personality wise, I'm very easy going, too easy going no where, rudderless in a vast ocean of floating plastic yet, I am involved in a variety of projects. lol

 

Like any mood cycle and dreadmill operator, rudderless has its advantages of which in my daily practice are observable lessons that help my clients see alongside vast possibilities.  Along long stretches of yawns testing patience which can be sleep inducing,  there is something every day that I find useful helping me and my associates better relate into deeper abyss ahh elements of ourselves. 

 

I started this sojourner journey quite young wanting answers to questions a child rarely asks, yet by my early 20s I was amazed to experience a love so great that it's burning desire within me still directs my path to this day.  We all want to find the truth that completes you & I, at least that is my core driver to reconnect within that embrace - I am today because I found my essence & true purpose for living.

​

Life tends to “happen to us” at an increasingly rapid pace. From my vantage point, it is a societal derangement that needs rectifying, I call it the Mass Trance and as a "self-lib" activist I hope to be instrumental in waking the populace out from it   — or should we wish to combine a focused effort — it is a way for us all to become more helpful, "I" aware and proactive in steering our lives individually and collectively (for the good of the whole). Together we can help achieve a desirable sustainable future - I believe deep in our hearts a greater conscious awareness awaits our common humanity.

Can we have a Community Conversation or a Loving one that in the end expands consciousness?

Ultimately, I hope you and I together are co-instigators of radical change that our coming together has now made possible.  It is this reality change evolved that becomes a transformation for us all.

​

As a pseudo philosopher and un-social psychology observer there is much to say.  While it does take two to "un-tangle" the web of woes, wisdom and wonder, together on this journey there is much to appreciate and discern.  I hope as a partner in the process I can make a worthy contribution to the effort to better understand the worlds we co-exist in - I write about this in WeltSchloss.com and in other places including my Mikes Mastermind podcast where I verbally relate these concepts.

​

I hope you will find something here that is worthwhile for your consideration and enjoyment.

​

Everyone has their own reasons to "exist" I hope yours gives meaning and purpose to others.

​

I believe in you. Whatever your reason, I’m here for you.  Thank you for checking 'me' out.

​

Yours Truly,

Michael

PS This site while brief about myself has literally hundreds of ideas. It showcases my thinking and abstractions, as well as some interesting book concept proposals that I'd happily write up for you.
