“If there’s any magician today who can compare to the spellbinding Eisenheim in the film “The Illusionist,” then it is James David Parker. As with Eisenheim, there’s something otherworldly and Victorian about James, as if he’s still in touch with the timeless mysteries that others have forgotten. And like Eisenheim, James blends magic with metaphysics, illuminating it all with a profoundly moral vision. No one else is doing what James is doing.”
Dr. Greg Goode, is an internationally recognised and certified philosophical practitioner, world-renowned author on western and eastern philosophy, and a student of the mysterious arts.

James recognizes the deep understandings provided by many Western philosophical viewpoints, some of which share common ground with his teachings.

However, his teachings primarily align with the non-dualistic philosophy that is predominantly prevalent in the East.

James ‘s new book, ‘The Philosophic Principle.’  The book will be published this year.

The teachings are not just abstract ideas, but rather are directly addressed to each person in the context of the world around us, transcending personal limitations. This is what makes these insights significant and effective.

Distinguished Philosopher

“The evolution of humanity lies in its philosophical realization, which is a journey that requires dedication. It is a misconception that one can listen to philosophical teachings and instantly realize them as an actuality. Philosophical mentoring demands a strong mentor-student relationship, detached from mere concepts and emotional dependencies. Many individuals are eager to pay for a rapid transformation, which is reminiscent of a historical act of idol worship, but it is deceptive and unproductive. Genuine learning involves a down to earth and authentic letting go of limited assumptions about existence.”

“I express my creativity and practical sagacity through my philosophical, artistic, and scholarly works, all of which strive to express existence and its wonderments. At the heart of my teachings lies the insight that experience are indivisible expressions of existence. However, the unexamined energies of routine and habit often control our thoughts, emotions, and actions, leading us to believe the false notion that we are disconnected individuals, separate from the external world and those around us. To challenge this misconception, I demonstrate that everything and everyone are expressions of existence with no inherent separation. This realization highlights the primary essence in which all things occur. Join me on a journey of captivating creativity, and experience the beauty and complexity of the human experience in a whole new way.”
