Teaching Psychic Development
Q: Having been a teacher of psychic development for so many years, how did you first get started teaching the development of psychic abilities?
SA: "You see, I never set out to be a 'psychic', nor did I set out to be a teacher of psychic development. I had picked reading the tarot up as a party game. It came easily and naturally to me. Friends and colleagues (I was working as a Safety Engineer back then) would come to me and ask for the next installment' on their lives. That gradually got me into doing more and more psychic tarot readings.
"The first class I ever taught was actually a tarot class. People I'd been doing readings for asked me to teach them how to do what I did - and that was my first class. Within a year I had expanded teaching tarot to the psychic area and the beginnings of what is now the Anastasi System of Psychic Development.
The amazing thing is – each class I taught was put together at the student’s request. So I can honestly say I was led into this field by students who came to me wanting to learn."
Most Important Part of Psychic Development
Q: What do you feel is the most important thing for a student of psychic development?
SA: "If I were to boil it down to one most important factor – I would say laying the personal ego and its needs aside is the single most important factor.
"The study of psychic development needs to be fun and exciting. Students need to uncover their gifts and develop them with a sense of accomplishment. Students need to be thrilled at their self discovery, not become lost in the competition of ego."
The Anastasi System of Psychic Development
Q: There is a system of psychic development that is credited to you. The Anastasi System of Psychic Development. How and why did you start this psychic development system and where do you see it evolving?
SA: "Technically, the Anastasi System of Psychic Development had its beginning in 1979 when I taught my first psychic development class. But it wasn't until the early 1990s that it got its name.
"I was driving along one day, thinking of the tarot book I was writing, and my guides popped in telling me I needed to put my psychic development classes (that had by then evolved to a series) into book form and call it 'The Anastasi System.' I broke out in laughter. I said, 'I never heard of anything so egotistical! My name, given to a series?'
"My guides answered back without hesitation, “Don't worry about that. In 400 years it will be called the Anasazi System and it will be widely accepted that the Anasazi Indians created it." Well, that had me laughing even harder.
"I stuck with my tarot book, which took me three years to write since my guides gave no help. Finally it was done. I then began work on the first three books of the Anastasi System - levels one, two and three. I was amazed. My guides helped. Those books were written at an amazing rate. Within a month I had all three ready to go.
"Today, those first three books have been updated, and more have been added. This is truly a wonderful system for psychic development."

Q: You have published several books now. Books that go along with the Anastasi System of Psychic Development classes, a Tarot Book, a Kabbalah Book, and a few astrology books. Do you have any new projects you are working on that you'd care to share?
SA: "I have more projects in my head than you can shake a stick at, as the saying goes. I am working on the last two books in the psychic development series, also on a book that will make my "Seeing Beyond the Veil" taped class more understandable.
"After that I have plans for a book on my experiences doing psychic readings, and still more ideas for books based on my experiences in the field.
"I think I need more time to write. I'll have to live forever."
