Dr John F Demartini
Human Behavioural Specialist, Educator and Internationally Published Author
EARLY DAYS
Dr. John Demartini was born on Thanksgiving Day 1954 in Houston, Texas. From an early age he wore hand and leg braces to correct a birth defect. At school he had difficulty reading, writing and speaking which was later diagnosed as dyslexia and a speech impediment. In first grade, his teacher announced to his parents that he would never read, write, communicate, never amount to anything, nor go very far in life. At the age of 14 Dr. Demartini left school and headed for Hawaii where at 17 he had a near death experience as a result of strychnine poisoning. These early challenges set the scene for a remarkable transformation in his late teens.
INSPIRED BY A VISION
Dr. John Demartini was 17, a high school drop-out, unable to read or write when he met an elderly man called Paul Bragg who was able to catalyse a profound transformation by assisting him to awaken to an inspired vision of becoming a philosopher and a teacher.
Dr. Demartini made a commitment to dedicate his life to the understanding of universal laws as they relate to maximizing human awareness and potential. With focus and determined effort, Dr. Demartini gradually broke through his dyslexia and mastered reading and writing. He passed his GED and then wrote his SATs and attained entry level into Wharton Junior College and then progressed to the University of Houston where he completed his Bachelors of Science degree in 1978. He went on to study Chiropractic at the Texas Chiropractic College where he graduated with honours and his Doctorate in 1982 at the top of his class with Magna Cum Laude.
As Dr. Demartini states, ‘When you believe you cannot read or learn and you then discover that you can, it awakens an insatiable appetite for knowledge’. He has spent over 36 years avidly researching more than 270 different disciplines such as psychology, cosmology, economics, sociology, biology, theology, philosophy…
Just as Paul Bragg had inspired him to breakthrough his perceived limitations, he dreamt of being able to do the same for others.
