As a boy, he read Emerson and Lao Tse.  Many metaphysical principles were incorporated into his practice.  Some fifty years ago, through the use of hypnosis, he learned that we all experience multiple incarnations.  This knowledge, coupled with metaphysical principles, was helpful in the recovery of many patient’s illnesses and injuries.Dr. Bonnett published two scientific articles: Effects of Positive Suggestion on Surgical Patients and The Treatment and Prevention of Acute Dysionic Myocardial Necrosis.

This circumstance was especially fortuitous, as his grandmother was able to guide him in organizing his burgeoning perceptual talents, drawing on a discretely held ancestral history of clairvoyant abilities.  After high school, he pursued a formal education at San Diego State University for several years, with extensive studies in literature, philosophy, psychology, and art.
