Dick Sutphen had two very distinct careers in his lifetime. He studied art and became an Art Director and eventually opened his own studio in Scottsdale, Arizona. His second career was in Self-Help and Metaphysics. When he developed an interest in a subject, he would spend hours researching and developing his thoughts. He was introduced to hypnosis and past-life regression from an artist he employed who convinced him to go to have a past-life regression. That first regression took him to a time in ancient Mexico and the experience was so profound, his interest in his Art Studio began to take a back seat to metaphysics. He decided to turn part of his studio into a seminar room and began the Hypnosis Center so he could experiment with different ways to conduct hypnosis and past-life regressions. His Wednesday night sessions were very popular. Many of his students requested private sessions, which gave him an opportunity to do in-depth research and write about his discoveries. He developed his own style of hypnosis session, which he termed Spirit Contact Therapy.

Dick Sutphen was an amazing artist, Hypnotherapist, lecturer and writer. He left behind hundreds of columns and articles he wrote over the years. Wanting to carry out his wishes, his wife, Roberta, organized his most important articles into the years in which he wrote them. This is the first time they have been published in a book.

Dick was a Master who came here to enlighten and challenge us to become our authentic selves. You will find some wondrous ideas within these pages and be amazed how his wisdom still holds today as it did when he wrote these over the past five decades.
