My name is François De Kock, and this is my story.

I was born in the womb of a narcissist mother within a toxic family. This conditioned my intake on life in a harsh but unconscious way. I experienced my youth as being filled with meaninglessness. I found happiness whenever I managed to escape my surroundings. Music was the main key to my sanity and to uplifting emotions. I did not fully understand the ongoing impact of narcissism on my wellbeing until I passed the sixty years mark, and after three decades of a determined and continuous spiritual search.

During 20 years, I had made a living of my hobby. I evolved from amateur music journalist and disc jockey (the term of DJ was not in use yet) into a long career in a famous multinational U.S. music record company. I have witnessed the switch from vinyl records to CDs. The evolution into the digital era came later. My encounters with many artists and managers were my greatest joys in that period.

When I realized that I was stuck in a dead-end street, I started to search for new ventures thru therapy, astrology and later a full-fledged spiritual journey. Very fast, I became myself a spiritual guide and advisor in a period when that was not yet fashionable. My interest was still labelled as parapsychology, and the best spiritual guides were still called gurus. I must have created one of the very first Internet sites devoted to self-development, and I became famous (in French speaking territories) with the creation of a one-year non-stop workshop called “My 12 works of Hercules” based on the assimilation of the energies of the 12 zodiac signs.

I have never ceased to learn and to integrate multiple spiritual approaches with the best teachers and fellow searchers I could find, while at the same time encountering the most incredible toxic abuses every time I made a huge positive progress. I have lived so far the most intense yin-and-yang life I would never have guessed in advance.
