S.W. Pringle is of Scottish/Afrikaner/Jewish/Bantu ancestry. He was born in South Africa in 1941 in the middle of a World War. Raised from childhood in the Apartheid system, he was witness to the rise and fall of one of the most controversial social experiments in the history of colonial occupation. In 1973, a metaphysical encounter with the Divine nature of Atomic Consciousness initiated a profound alteration in his sense of self-awareness. It focused him on finding the purpose of existence.
Uniquely positioned from birth, in Time and Space; beginning with Africa as the cradle of human psychology, with added experience in the Middle East and the Far East, he brings to the table a life time of research into the ancient history of mankind’s social and spiritual evolution. An international documentary film-maker for 25 years; he was initiated in Animism, Shamanism, as well as Yoga, and ordained as a Buddhist minister in Japan at a Zen monastery in 1979.
He now resides with his family on the Global Stewardship Foundation's desert research station in Nevada.
