Mission Statement
The Essential Elements
The basic elements of the Curriculum are Integrative, broad-based, all inter-relate and overlap.
The elements can easily be isolated and worked on in specific areas in focused ways or approached in an Integral fashion be it relationships, work and career, personal growth, spiritual development, physical and psychological well-being, or anything else that one chooses to work on.
The modules are designed to apply to all aspects of life based on general tried and true principles, developed and practiced from the wise ancient wisdom traditions up to and including current trends as research and science has aided human development while our modern brain has developed throughout the course of evolution.
The essential ingredients to the overriding Formula form an overarching comprehensive picture.
Here’s the wind-up and the pitch:
- Strengthening Mind, Body and Spirit.
- Operating In the Two Main Realms of Existence. They are The Existential/Person Realm and the Transpersonal Spiritual Realm.

Fulfillment Formulas for Life
Understanding the Formulas
The Fulfillment Formulas are essential Organizing or Applied Principles that integrate beautifully into a unified whole, but when broken down to their constituent parts, can be utilized using specific modules for specific problem solving, tasks or goals toward an evolving comprehensive approach to living.
It works equally well for individuals, relationships between individuals or group dynamics.
My job , as I see it, is to train others how to coach themselves. It's been said, don’t give a man a fish when you can teach him how to fish. It is a working partnership between us. It is about choosing and learning, in an intimate way, about ourselves and how to be the best version of ourselves. It may not be easy, but being less is a much harder way to live. That’s why it’s worth the effort. A bad alternative or option may be as good a motivational tool as we need, but, fortunately, as we will soon see, there are many bad options. Fortunately, there are countervailing forces that can overcome the factors that impede our personal and Trans-personal growth.
The Formulas rely on the best of both ancient traditional and modern developmental teachings. It is geared to serve what each client wants their life to look like to the best of their current self-knowledge and an effective curriculum to learn more about ourselves. My very use of the principles of the formula as I developed it were the building blocks that created it.
Given there is really nothing new under the sun, I see the formula as synthesis of the great, courageous and insightful work of those who came way before me with my own brand of organization and particular spin on the wisdom teaching that even to this day, continue to develop, with greater access and exposure to the general public then at any time in human history.
Where to Start?
I start with the well -worn proposition that we live lives concerned with Mind, Body and Spirit, the big three. I believe a core understanding reverses the order somewhat as a more accurate reflection of reality, as Spirit first, our essential Nature followed by Body and Mind.
Dynamic Thinking
Spirit, body and mind seem to better reflect that reality, in that we are spiritual beings manifesting in a physical body, with a mind that has a correspondence to but is beyond the attributes of our physiological brain, rather that we are biological entities with a spiritual life.
Conscious Awareness
The body is, however, the physical vessel that must exist for consciousness to be located in the world of form. No body, no vessel, no consciousness. It’s easy to understand why it would seem that the body is the source of consciousness, rather than the vehicle in which human awareness travels.
Direct Manifestation
What is and has been studied for decades is what is referred to as the “hard problem” of science, trying to prove that spirit is not our source out of which all manifestation occurs but a psycho/physiological projection of the body/mind. So far, the consensus of both the traditionalwisdom traditions and modern science suggests our essential nature is a mystery beyond the realm of the senses.
Major Influences, Influencers & Paths of Wisdom:
Transpersonal Psychology and Spirituality
Existential/Humanistic Psychology & Philosophy
Cognitive /Behavioral Modalities
Client Centered Coaching
Ken Wilber's Interracial Approach
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
The Jordan Peterson Approach to Reality & Morality
Steve Taylor’s Research on Enlightenment/Awakening
Kabbalah & Other Judeo-Christian Principals.
Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist Principals.
The Metaphysical Teachings of Alan Watts, MoojI and Adyashanti
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
A Course in Miracles
The Hebrew Principles of Ethics of the Fathers.
All these paths of wisdom and depth of knowledge diverge in their own way and yet converge as all paths of wisdom somehow come together as the sum of all parts. The Fulfillment Formulas attempts to expand on this simplest of Equations in order to produce an effect that is indeed greater than the sum of their parts.
This work is based in large part on decades of studying many of the great wisdom teachers in the spiritual traditions, psychology and philosophy.
Among the main influencers, whose ideas permeate my approach into an integrative whole from various backgrounds, life experiences and even their own sufferings and conditions of existence are The Buddha, Jesus, Adyashanti, Mooji, Nisargadatta, Alan Watts, Joseph Goldstein, Ram Dass, Krishnamurti, Thich Nat Han, Ken Wilber, Victor Frankl, Carl Rogers, Rollo May, Jordan Peterson, Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, Irwin Yalom and Colin Wilson.
Life Coaching with Dan Franklin
"My desire as a life coach, is to help others fulfill their lives, joining them on their journey for a little while, and if and when we part, both of us are better for the time spent together. This gives meaning and purpose to our journey as each learns from the other."
