« RETURNPersonal Message
Welcome to the rapidly expanding ranks of those who feel compelled to seek to know the answers to:
Who am I—truly?
What am I doing here on this planet at this time?
How can I make a more meaningful contribution in my world?
What does it mean for me to grow spiritually?
How can I find Peace and end my seemingly endless experience of emotional suffering?
If these are questions you’ve been asking more and more lately, you are not alone. Many, more than ever before in human history and all around the globe, are responding to what we refer to as an Evolutionary Impulse. One awareness all of us appear to have in common is that we have come to the place where we recognize that true Happiness and Fulfillment will never be be found through achievement of goals in the material world, regardless of how successful we become.
Where then, are they to be found? As all the revered saints and sages have been telling us for centuries, they are to be found within each individual. What hasn’t been so clearly articulated is an educational process designed to assist in revealing the place inside where we experientially know the Truth of Who we are—Divine Beings having a human experience.
If this fits for you, it is with great Love and Compassion that we welcome and invite you to discover the foundational principles and tools—the heart essence—of Spiritual Psychology contained within the pages of Loyalty to Your Soul.
And by the way, the more you grow spiritually, the more the quality of your life will improve.
To learn more about Spiritual Psychology and to participate in upcoming events, we invite you to subscribe to this site.

About the Authors
Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick are world-renowned educators and pioneers in the emerging field of Spiritual Psychology. As founding faculty and co-directors of the University of Santa Monica (USM), they have designed, and continue to facilitate, the life-changing experiential Master’s Degree Program in Spiritual Psychology, which they define as the study and practice of the art and science of human evolution in consciousness.
USM, recognized as the Worldwide Center for the Study and Practice of Spiritual Psychology®, offers its programs within the context of Soul-Centered Education. This philosophy acknowledges spiritual reality and begins with the assumption that we are not human beings who have a soul; we are souls having a human experience. The goal of the educational process is to bring forth the beauty, wisdom, and compassion inherent in every human being.
Both Ron and Mary are licensed Marriage and Family Therapists in California, and Mary is also a licensed Clinical Psychologist. They are the Executive Producers of, and appear in, the award-winning documentary, Freedom To Choose, which is based on USM’s seven-year service project at Valley State Prison for Women in Chowchilla, California.
They have been happily married for 32 years and reside with their beloved cat, Sweetstuff, in Los Angeles, California.

Book Summary
Loyalty to Your Soul establishes Spiritual Psychology as a paradigm-altering frontier. It initiates a radical shift at the core of contemporary psychological thought by unveiling a technology for using everyday experiences as rungs on the ladder of spiritual evolution. This book is uniquely suited for anyone seeking to discover and cross the bridge that spans the waters between life referenced in material reality and life lived within the context of spiritual reality. Engaging in such a journey is not about finding the right job, attracting your soul mate, earning a six-figure income, or indulging your heart’s desires, but about satisfying the deep inherent hunger to answer life’s larger questions: Who am I? What is my purpose? and How can I make a more meaningful contribution in my world?
Loyalty to Your Soul shows you how to first gain access to, and then gradually learn to live from, that sacred place inherent within everyone, referred to by the authors as the Authentic Self—a place where emotional suffering ceases, where answers to the above questions are self-evident, and where profound peace and love are present. While many people have written about such an inner state, Ron and Mary Hulnick show you how to travel there . . . and what to anticipate once you arrive. The radical technology they introduce empowers readers to transform challenging or negative human experiences into direct experiences of the Soul.

Foreword - By Neale Donald Walsch
One day when I was a very young man acting out in a very strange way, a friend said to me, “Neale, life doesn’t come with a Little Instruction Book. You’re on your own.”
I always hated that thought. Doggone it! I shouted inside my head. Life should come with a Little Instruction Book. And we shouldn’t have to be “on our own.” We should be able to get some help here. Surely somebody must know what’s going on. . . .
Well, somebody does. Ron and Mary Hulnick are very clear, and if you wish to be very clear, you will find it immensely satisfying to read this book.
Preface: Why This Book—Why Now?
The moment Ron introduced himself to me, I became flustered, as I immediately knew he was going to be an extremely important person in my life . . . although I had no idea how. He was standing at the doorway to my classroom, waiting to ask if he could observe my class. He explained that he was an incoming doctoral student whose intention was to sit in on each of his upcoming professors’ classes to get a sense of what he would be involved in throughout his three-year course of study. Quickly regaining my composure, I agreed.
Introduction
It’s Time to Put Psyche
Back into Psychology—
As Well as the Rest of Life
Most people are struggling to make their way in the world. Less obvious are those who are gracefully, joyfully, and quietly easing their way out of it.
What an amazing and fantastic time to be alive, especially if you feel a deep yearning for something more relevant and meaningful than material success alone. There’s little doubt that humanity is involved in a time of convergence, of something old dying while something new is being born. It could be called a global sea change, a worldwide paradigm shift.
As we see it, what is dying is the notion that advanced consumerism is the path to fulfillment. Many people are realizing that material abundance alone doesn’t result in the happiness that endless marketing so consistently and enthusiastically promises . . . .
Chapter Five
I AM UPSET
BECAUSE . . .
Angry people are like storms:
at their core,
they’re peaceful.
When times appear stormy,
always move toward your Center,
for it’s there where you’ll find your peace.
Several years prior to my experiences with Dr. Hunter in New Mexico, I was driving around the streets of Brooklyn, New York, selling floor waxes, of all things. It wasn’t the most exciting work for a young man eager to find his place in the world, but nevertheless that’s what I was doing . . . perhaps a form of laying the groundwork for what was to come . . .

“Ron and Mary Hulnick are the premier teachers and practitioners of Spiritual Psychology in the world today. The transformational Master’s degree Program that they offer through the University of Santa Monica has changed thousands of lives. This book, so eagerly awaited, makes their work available to us all. It is truly a Rosetta stone for the Soul.”
— Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., the author of It’s Not the End of the World and co-author of Your Soul’s Compass
“Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick are assisting the birth of something vastly important—an answer to the spiritual hunger that millions of individuals now feel. If you want to replace that gnawing emptiness in your life with a sense of meaning and fulfillment, Loyalty to Your Soul is the guide you’ve been looking for. Written in crystal clear language, this book is a gem, and could only have been written by two people whose lives overflow with experience and wisdom.”
— Larry Dossey, M.D., the author of The Power of Premonitions and Healing Words
“As a USM [University of Santa Monica] graduate, I know firsthand the value I received from participating with Ron and Mary in the Master’s degree Program in Spiritual Psychology. I am so grateful to have Loyalty to Your Soul to sweetly remind me of all I have learned. Let’s just say that I went from playing an angel on TV to living more of an angelic life every day. The teachings in this beautiful book have sent me on a journey to the very center of my own being where, wrapped in the safe wings of Love, I feel as though I have come home.”
— Roma Downey, star of the Touched by an Angel TV series
“I am grateful to Ron and Mary Hulnick for having written this book. They manage to make lofty spiritual principles clear and easy to understand, and they show you how you can apply them to your life. What more can you expect?”
— Piero Ferrucci, the author of Beauty and the Soul
“Ron and Mary Hulnick are living treasures in the field of transformational learning. Now, with this remarkable new book, they give us a handbook for how to live based in Spirit. Their love and dedication to liberating our highest potential comes through on every page. Read Loyalty to Your Soul and feel the magic of their work.”
— Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks, the authors of Conscious Loving
“Loyalty to Your Soul is the work of master teachers, two of the very
best in our world. Ron and Mary Hulnick give us a step-by-step method and set of principles not only to overcome our egoic reactions, our upsets and fears, but to use as signals from our Souls as to what and how we can learn. Each problem serves as an awakener. We become Soul conscious as we apply the wisdom of the Soul to the problems of the ego. This is conscious self-evolution at its very best. A vital work for us all.”
— Barbara Marx Hubbard, author, evolutionary educator, and founder of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution
“Bookstore shelves are filled with guides telling us how to get our bodies in shape, but there is very little practical advice about exercising our souls. Yet throughout America, millions seek to make their lives about something more than their own comforts and successes. Loyalty to Your Soul can be the handbook for that exploration. It tears down the false wall we’ve put up between our minds and our spirits, and shows the way toward a more fulfilling life.”
— Arianna Huffington, the cofounder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post
“Reading Ron and Mary Hulnick’s wonderful book of practical wisdom reminds the Soul of its inherent unity while lovingly guiding you, its manifestation in form, in discovering and fully living the call to Wholeness through your Soul’s unique qualities.”
— Leonard Laskow, M.D., the author of Healing with Love
“With Loyalty to Your Soul, Ron and Mary Hulnick give us a wonderful guide to what it really means to live a spiritual life, as well as a great thought system in Spiritual Psychology, which I believe will be the wave of the future and which they have been developing for the past 30 years. Having heard them speak at their home site, the University of Santa Monica—as well as having a partner who is a graduate of USM—I must say that Ron and Mary don’t just teach these principles, they live them every day.”
— Gary R. Renard, the author of The Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality
"I am proud to say that Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick are my teachers. They taught me to recognize and embrace the power, beauty, and majesty of my soul. I am excited that they are now sharing their wisdom with the world. I invite you to feast on this wisdom as you would a good home-cooked meal. I have no doubts that your soul will be nurtured and nourished, and that you, too, will become a proud student."
