Awakened Living: When Everything Falls Apart, Wake Up
What you're feeling right now—the disorientation, the grief, the rage, the sense that everything is falling apart—isn't weakness. You're not crazy. You're not broken.
You're disillusioned. And that's exactly where awakening begins.
If watching genocide unfold in Palestine in real-time on your phone—while your government funds the weapons and the media calls it "conflict"—hasn't shattered something in you, you're not paying attention.
If the rise of Christian nationalism, global authoritarianism, and capitalism consuming itself feels like separate crises rather than symptoms of the same disease, the old framework is still running the show.
And if you can name what's happening in Gaza but not in Sudan, Congo, or Yemen—if some human suffering registers while other genocides remain invisible—you're seeing exactly what we've all been conditioned to see: selective compassion, curated awareness, a hierarchy of whose life matters.
Snap out of it.
(Yes, I'm channeling Cher in Moonstruck. Sometimes you need a slap across the face to wake up. Consider this your slap. You're welcome.)
The world you thought you lived in never existed. The systems you believed protected you were built on separation, exploitation, and the fundamental lie that we are separate beings in competition for limited resources. This is what separation-consciousness looks like at scale: endless "us versus them," systematic exploitation, genocide justified by those in power.
And now you can see it. The illusions are crumbling because they were never solid to begin with.
Plot twist: This is actually fantastic news.
I know, I know—doesn't feel fantastic. Feels more like watching a slow-motion car crash while you're inside the car. But here's the thing: within this crisis is the solution.

The Root of All This Mess
Every bit of suffering you're witnessing—and experiencing—comes from the same source: the belief in separation.
Not separate problems. One problem wearing a million different masks.
When you believe you're a separate self in a world of other separate selves competing for limited resources, safety, and meaning, you get exactly what we've got: exploitation, war, genocide, environmental collapse, and a deep existential dread that no amount of success, consumption, or self-improvement can touch.
Indigenous cultures understood what we forgot: we're not separate. We never were. The idea of the isolated individual pursuing their own interests is a recent invention—and it's killing us.
But you can't think your way out of this. You can't just decide to "believe in oneness" and call it a day. The conditioning runs too deep. The separation-consciousness is the operating system, and it's been running your entire life without you knowing it.
It has to be undone. Systematically.

What's Actually Possible (Spoiler: It's Freedom)
Here's what nobody tells you about awakening: it's not more work. It's less.
When you stop defending an illusion, you stop suffering over an illusion. When you recognize that the "self" you've been trying to protect, improve, and finally get right never existed in the first place—well, that's a relief.
This isn't about becoming a better person within a broken system. This is about seeing through the entire framework. Not positive thinking. Not spiritual bypassing. Not "raising your vibration" while children are being bombed.
Actual Liberation.
The kind of freedom that doesn't depend on circumstances. That doesn't require the world to be different than it is. That isn't threatened when systems collapse—because you're no longer identified with the systems in the first place.
(Don't worry, you don't disappear. You just stop taking yourself so seriously. Which, honestly, is a relief.)
But—and this is important—you can't skip steps. You can't jump from separation-consciousness to non-dual recognition just because it sounds nice. There's a process. An undoing. A systematic dismantling of everything you've been taught to believe about who you are and what's real.
And here's the thing about real freedom: it's not something a separated character can ever experience. That version of "you"—the one trying to get free, become enlightened, finally arrive—that's the prison. Freedom only shows up when that entire structure is seen through.
There's a freedom beyond anything you've imagined. Not the freedom to get what you want. The freedom from needing anything at all.
That's where A Course in Miracles comes in...

Why ACIM (And Why Me)
I've been working with A Course in Miracles for over 40 years. Not because I'm particularly devoted or spiritual, but because it works.
I've watched people's lives completely transform. Not in the "I manifested a new car" way. In the "I no longer believe the story that was making me suffer" way. In the "I can see clearly now" way. In the "holy shit, I'm actually free" way.
ACIM is a 365-day systematic practice for undoing separation-consciousness. It's not religious—though it uses Christian language that can be off-putting if you take it literally. It's practical. It's logical. It's experiential. And it does something most spiritual teachings don't: it actually dismantles the ego rather than just redecorating it.
Every single day for a year, you get a lesson. Each one is designed to loosen your grip on the false beliefs that keep you trapped. Not through belief, but through direct experience.
And here's why I keep coming back to it, why I've taught it for decades: I see the results. I see people wake up. I see the light come back on. I see freedom happen in real time.
But—and this matters—most people don't finish it on their own. Maybe you're one of them—you've got a copy of the book sitting on your shelf, you've cracked it open, maybe even started the lessons, but you didn't know where to start or how to interpret it, and by month two or three, life got in the way and it just... stopped. You're not alone. That's exactly why this program exists.
Is This For You?
Ask yourself these questions honestly:
Are you done with spiritual bypassing? Done pretending everything is fine when you can clearly see it's not? Done with "good vibes only" while the world burns?
Do you sense there's something fundamentally wrong with how you've been taught to see yourself and the world? Even if you can't articulate it yet, even if you don't know what's on the other side—there's a feeling that the whole framework needs to go?
Can you commit to a year? Not just when you feel inspired. Not just when it's convenient. But actually show up—even on the days you don't feel like it, even when resistance kicks in, even when the ego starts screaming that this is pointless?
Is there something in you that's ready for freedom—even if you're terrified of what that might mean? Even if part of you is clinging to the familiar identity, is there another part that knows it's time?
Are you ready to stop doing this alone? Ready to be part of a small group of people who will witness your process, support you through the hard parts, and not let you bullshit yourself when you try to quit?
If you answered yes to these questions, keep reading.
If you hesitated, if you felt yourself wanting to negotiate with any of these, this probably isn't for you. And that's okay. There's no judgment here—just clarity about what this actually requires.

When I found Max, I was dealing with tremendous family upsets and emotions from the election—shock, disbelief, anger, sadness, grief. I knew I wasn't in a healthy place. I had started ACIM before but never got very far.
I listened to Max's livestreams for a couple months and started applying what he was saying to my life. I felt a glimmer of hope. When Max announced he was starting this class with only 10 openings, I knew I had to be one of them. I knew if I dedicated myself for one year, things would change—I would see things differently and my life wouldn't feel so difficult all the time.
Around month 3, I faced serious surgery. The lessons had gone so deep by then that I carried them with me through pre-surgery. Anxiety didn't consume me. I found calmness in the small room awaiting my turn. The lessons carried me through recovery, and I found a strong, beautiful part of myself I didn't know was there.
In the beginning of 2025, I had a difficult time saying no. I put others' needs before myself. I didn't exist. I lived in 'maybe one day.'
Now? I am here for me. This is my life and I am here to experience everything. Right now, this moment, is all we have. I'm experiencing my life with arms wide open. Greeting every moment with curiosity, peace, and love. Giving forgiveness where needed and embracing the storms calmly. Everything is love or a call for love, and miracles are everywhere."

What You're Actually Signing Up For
The Structure:
What You Get:
Exclusive Audio Lessons: I've personally narrated every single lesson in the workbook and all the extra material. These aren't available to the public. You'll receive the complete audio package so you can listen and follow along in your copy of the book. This alone is huge.
All Sessions Recorded: Can't make a live session? You'll have access to every recording. No FOMO, no missing out.
Weekly Guidance: Not lectures. Not me talking at you. These are exploratory sessions where we dig into what's coming up, what's being revealed, what resistance is showing up. I'm here to point, to clarify, to keep you from bullshitting yourself.
Bonus Resources: I've got a vault of videos and audios from decades of teaching that I'll share throughout the year to support your journey.
Community: This is one of the most powerful aspects. You'll be with nine other people who are committed to waking up. People who will support you, challenge you, and love you through the hard parts. The testimonials aren't lying—groups that start as strangers become family.
My Role: I'm not your guru. I'm not fixing you. I've walked this path for over 40 years, and I can hold space, point to what you're not seeing, and help you stay on track when you want to quit. But the transformation? That happens through your engagement with the practice.
The Structure:
- 365 days of daily ACIM lessons that you do on your own
- Weekly live sessions every Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM Eastern Time (60-90 minutes)
- Each session reviews the previous seven days and prepares you for the next seven
- Starting February 10th, 2026
- Sessions run every week unless there's an unavoidable holiday or illness (and we always make up missed classes)

As a new student of A Course in Miracles, the decision to join Max's ACIM Awakened Living: Year Long Course was one of best decisions that I made this year. Reviewing a lesson each day, or at least most every day, was an incredible way to really focus on learning and incorporating the knowledge.
Max's guidance was pivotal in helping me to understand the material and keep me on track. I tend to be someone who tries to learn on their own but studying with a group helped create an environment of sharing, learning and support whose importance cannot be overstated.
Last, but certainly not least, our group that started out as strangers became of group of friends who genuinely love each other.
Join this group! You will not be disappointed!!!

The Commitment (Let's Be Real About This)
This is a big commitment. We know that. A lot of people start ACIM on their own and don't make it past the first few months. This program is designed to give you the support you need to keep going—especially when you don't feel like it. And trust me, there will be times when you don't feel like it.
Here's the deal:
You can cancel at any time, but you're required to commit to a minimum of 3 months.
Why 3 months? Because that's when the real shift begins to happen. That's when you start to see how the lessons are actually working in your life. Before that, it mostly feels like weird mental exercises that don't make sense. After that, things start to click.
If you bail before 3 months, you're leaving right before it gets good. We're not going to let you do that to yourself.
After 3 months, if it's genuinely not for you, you can walk away—no hard feelings, no guilt trips. But give it the 3 months. That's the minimum buy-in for actual transformation.

I always wanted to do this class but couldn't commit because of my work calendar. When Max moved it to Tuesday evenings, I knew the time was right—even though I was nervous.
Sometimes the 'insanity' of the world is very loud. The Course always helps ground me and is truly my 'sanity' break.
I definitely felt challenged around the 2-3 month mark—the lessons get deep and repetitive. That was difficult, but I was determined to keep going without guilt. As Max always tells us, 'God is at my back.' I just think of that and remember I am exactly where I need to be.
Almost a year in, I feel a true sense of peace knowing I really need do nothing. I'm comfortable letting go, letting God/Love flow through me. Giving up 'control' has given me the gifts of remembering my true potentiality, limitlessness, and that only Unconditional Love is real.
The experience with Max and my classmates has been profound and transformational. I highly recommend this class. Max is an incredible teacher, mentor, and friend!
