Robert M Baynes dedicated his life to the pursuit of spiritual growth and becoming closer to God as a young man.  It began around 1988 while watching a movie about the life of Jesus that ignited in him a love for Christ that never left.  The next ten years included much study about the life of Jesus, the Bible, and reading books about Edgar Cayce and near-death experiences.

Then from 1998 to 2008 there was an intense focus on the academic study of religion and psychology.  Studying the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, Joseph Campbell, and Eckhart Tolle were influential at that time.  This period culminated with three spiritual experiences in December of 2008 that changed his life.  The first was an experience like being on the cross that resulted in a profound transformation of his mind.  The second was a sudden burst of inspiration where he was given the outline for writing his first book.  And the third was a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit that felt like his body was on fire while being spared the pain.

And then from 2009 to 2019 there was a focus on learning about the spiritual heart and directly experiencing his heart and soul.  He is deeply grateful for this time period and knows it was vital in preparing him for a deeper capacity to surrender to God’s Will for his life, and to bring him to the place where his ministry and the writing of the books could begin.  He gives all the praise and glory to the Source of Love and Light.

He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in religious studies from the University of Alberta.  He is grateful for everything in his life and enjoys living in the Edmonton, Alberta area with his wife and two children.
