in her own words.. "...we need to be pursuing understanding and we need to be open to embracing the best in everything and in everyone. When this occurs then you find that there's outwardly a kind of revolution in consciousness and in behavior, in the way that we interact with one another. I think it's very important, and I think the understanding of the Universal Language of Mind is one of three significant gifts that the School of Metaphysics has to offer the world."

Experience
1975 - present Educator
A lifelong student, Dr. Barbara Condron began teaching adults the development of human potential in 1975. She is currently a professor at the College of Metaphysics in Missouri where she lives with her husband, Daniel, and their son Hezekiah. In 2005, Dr. Condron created the POWERS of TEN day long seminar and began offering it at colleges and universities the following year. The POWERS of TEN is based upon the course of study the School of Metaphysics teaches. The school is a 501(c)(3) educational institute dedicated to the evolution of quality education. SOM offers transformative education that enables the individual to use the whole mind through the use of ten essential life skills: Self Respect, Undivided Attention, Concentration, Memory, Listening, Imagination, Breath, Reasoning, Intuition, and Entrainment. These are described in Dr. Condron’s book Master Living: 10 Essential Life Skills for Health, Prosperity, Success and Peace of Mind.
Dr. Condron has served as a mentor to people of all ages. Artists, composers, and writers have benefitted from her tutelage and support in their own creations. Her affiliation with the School of Metaphysics has enabled her to teach children since 1992. This has led to her work, which is chronicled in How to Raise an Indigo Child. She has also been a part of the School’s philanthropic work with talented and gifted children (1977-1982) and visionary schools (1998-1999). Whether teaching the art of cheesemaking or the science of living meditatively, Dr. Condron’s ability to aid others to use the intelligence and energy available to them is empowering.
1975-present Dream Researcher
Since 1977, Dr. Condron has made guest appearances on radio and television shows and been interviewed by newspapers here and abroad. From WGN in Chicago to WGNO in New Orleans, from PBS Latenight in Detroit to BBC Radio in London, her expertise in her subjects and her ease as a public speaker have made her a media favorite especially on call-in shows. Her affection for using media to connect people was behind the National Dream Hotline®, the annual weekend of sharing dream research sponsored by the School of Metaphysics. She served as International Coordinator for the hotline from its inception in 1989 to 2000. In 1997, she created www.dreamschool.org to share School of Metaphysics research and answer questions from dreamers online. Now she is pioneering global dream awareness through heading the Global Lucid Dreaming Experiments. The experiments seek to collect the largest body of experiential knowledge to date concerning specifically, lucid dreaming, and to analyze the data making it widely known. The Dreamer’s Dictionary is based upon the SOM researchers’ years of study in Mind Linguistics. Her film “Ten Powers of Dreaming” is shown during POWERS of TEN.
1976 - present Academic Administrator
Dr. Condron currently serves on the Board of Governors for the School of Metaphysics. As International Education Advisor, she creates new programs, designs internet campuses, and promotes global outreach through correspondence study and peace work. In 2007, she created the Global Lucid Dreaming Experiment dedicated to researching, studying, and promoting dream awareness. In 2000 in conjunction with developing the School’s Psi Counseling program, she pioneered an evolutionary development in the art and science of yoga. Coined “Taraka Yoga” these sequences in thought and action provide the basis of a mental technology enabling the practitioner to explore the whole Self. This work continues to echo in present endeavors, and the Taraka Yoga on Resolution serves as the high point of the POWERS of TEN day.
An instructor with the School of Metaphysics since 1976, Dr. Condron served as a branch director in Wichita, KS (1976-1977). She opened the first branch of SOM in the southern United States in New Orleans, LA (1978) and served as a field director for the school opening branches along the Gulf Coast. In 1980 she was elected to the Board of Directors and asked to serve as its president. Following this, she turned her attention to the development of the interfaith studies and ministries which culminated in her seminar presentation at the Parliament of the World’s Religions on Kundalini in 1993, the same year her most widely-regarded book Kundalini Rising was published. She served as CEO of SOM Publishing from 1989 to 2000. She was Editor-in-Chief of Thresholds Journal from 1990 to 2001 and editor of the Wholistic Health and Healing Guide during those same years.
1977-present Intuitive Researcher
As an Intuitive Reporter with the School of Metaphysics, Dr. Condron has worked since 1977 in partnership with conductors to research knowledge from the inner levels of consciousness. Originally focused on wholistic health, relationships, family, and the purpose of life, her work made quantum changes when she partnered with Daniel, who she would later marry. Investigating the creative nature of mind, intuitive paths, dharma, and chakra function became the focus of their work, what Daniel calls prosearch. Since 1995, this work has been shared with people from around the world during Spiritual Focus Weekends held at the College of Metaphysics. By 2003, people on six continents had received Intuitive Reports from the School of Metaphysics, forming a network of people worldwide, the basis of the Society for Intuitive Research, which Dr. Condron began actively promoting. Of the estimated 50,000 reports given, Dr. Condron has been directly or indirectly involved with over half of them. Many of her published works (eg. Work of the Soul, Uncommon Knowledge, Total Recall) include the intuitive reports collected by researchers at the School of Metaphysics.
1995 – present Efforts in the cause of PEACE
Following years of meditation and service to others, Dr. Condron initiated the Universal Hour of Peace by calling upon leaders in government, education, and business to proclaim September 25, 1995, at noon Greenwich Mean Time, as an hour of peaceful thought and action. This coincided with the 50th anniversary of the U.N. In 1996, the Universal Hour of Peace moved to December 31st as a way to welcome the new year. A twenty-five hour vigil is held each year at the Peace Dome on the College of Metaphysics campus.
In 2003, Dr. Condron served as the International Coordinator for the dedication of the world’s Peace Dome. People on every continent, including Antarctica, joined as ONE VOICE, in reading the Universal Peace Covenant, a document researched and penned by two dozen SOM teachers from all walks of life, in 1997. The history of the Peace Dome, the covenant, and present initiatives can be found on the internet at www.peacedome.org, a website she designed. She edited and directed the 22-minute documentary on the making of the Peace Dome (Making Peace) and wrote Peacemaking: Nine Lessons for Changing Yourself, Your Relationships and Your World while preparing for the Peace Dome’s dedication. It was also during this time that Dr. Condron received permission from the Nobel Foundation to quote Nobel Peace Prize laureates’ speeches in a play she created called “The Invitation”. This unique play spans 50 years in the development of peace thinking through eight Peace Prize laureates. It offers stunning lessons in history, social activism, compassion, and hope. It is Dr. Condron’s hope that in time, young thespians around the world will have the opportunity to bring Mother Teresa, Albert Schweitzer, Martin Luther King, Jr., and five others to life.
