Welcome to Spiritual Superhighway, which is a collaborative blog between me, Dr. Stewart Bitkoff and my 36 year old daughter. In this format she asks questions, which stem from her own life experiences typical of "30 somethings." The spin is the advice I give. Sometimes, I will post a thought, poem, topic among other things for Melody and our readers to think about.
The following is some background on my daughter and myself so you have some sort of idea of the people we are.
Since 1998 she has worked in the fields of marketing, fundraising and communications for nonprofit organizations and universities in Boston, New York City and Pennsylvania. She received her Master’s Degree in Integrated Marketing Communications from Emerson College in Boston, MA. As well, she has served as an Adjunct Communication Faculty Member for local colleges and she guest lectures at universities and conferences on fundraising and communications. Currently, Melody is working as the Director of Fundraising Marketing for a College in PA. In her spare time, she spearheads the writing and marketing efforts for a blog she created for teen girls called Contemporary Teen, which you can visit at www.contemporaryteen.com.
From my perspective, Melody has lived a - how do I put this - lets say "self-fulfilling" life thus far. And I think others will learn from her curiosity. In many ways, Melody represents the typical 30 something and in other ways she is quite unique.
About me? Well, I've been married to the same woman for 40 years, raised two lovely daughters, I am the grandfather of four adorable little girls and been part of the baby-boomer generation. Over the years, I 've seen the good and bad of our way of life and have always tried to reach higher.
Professionally, I received a doctorate in education and worked for the State of New York in their psychiatric hospitals for 30 years. Having grown up in New York City, I spent most of my career living and working in the New York City area. Professional areas of expertise include Therapeutic Recreation, Psychiatric Rehab and Psychiatric Treatment. As well, I served on the faculties of five different colleges and universities and worked many years managing community mental health programs. Basically, my work has centered around helping the mentally ill integrate their altered state of consciousness into the physical world.
Over the years, I have written different spiritual books centering on the topic of the completed person and the original human development system. I studied in two modern mystical schools and through my writing and now this blog, I intend to help make available aspects of this secret, inner teaching.
And the readers? Yes. That means you - you are invited to join Melody and me on this journey! We encourage you to read, think and comment as you desire!
