While writing his book “Beyond the Box of Space and Time” Jim spent years trying to find the words to explain the 4th dimension. He very well may have found a shortcut to the 4th dimension thru ecstatic dance. On Sunday September 4th, Jim collapsed at the ecstatic dance with a smile on his face. He went into cardiac arrest and there were a number of people there who performed CPR on him for 20 minutes or so. He began breathing on his own again and was given the best medical care during the next 10 days. Our master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, Anam Thuben and practitioners from all of the world practiced for Jim. Dutsi/Amrita pills were sent and the Song of Vajra played in his room. He appeared to his beloved Kaitlyn and let her know he was very surprised, happy and would not come back to his body. On the morning of September 14, 2016, Jim left his body.

Jim was like a brother to me, one of the most intelligent man I've ever known. We always considered him like the nutty professor he was so bright but sometimes he would not remember to tie his shoes. As an inventor he opened the first hot tub company- Mill Valley Hot tubs where he used ancient wooden wine barrels, where he stuffed up to 12 naked bodies into the tubs. He progressed to alternative energy and installed generating wind turbines in the front of a store in downtown Fairfax. He designed and help build an incredible dodecagon using sacred geometry on my land in Hawaii for the dance of the Vajra, Yantra yoga and tun practices. Also, as a filmmaker and photographer he delighted many.


He was a deeply spiritual man, he followed Chögyal Namkhai Norbu all over the world. A world explorer, inventor, architect, writer, dancer, a man who always made the best of the moment!

Dancing and smiling that huge smile we release your hand in the dance of life, keep on paving the way to the 4th dimension for us all!
