Lighting the Way to Global Mentorship and Healing.

‘Live by design – not by default’ – the power of intentional thought
Washington state author John McNeil, founder and president of The Pacific Institute
Community, serves as a positive psychology coach for high performers in athletics, business,
and the arts, and in this extraordinary book he invites readers on a ‘profound journey of self-
discovery, imagination, and intentional co-creation…a call to awaken a world of Global
Congeniality – a world where kindness, clarity and connection are the building blocks of a
better future.’ His Creation Code is about ‘the intersection of psychology, neuroscience,
biology, and spirituality that allows you to create and recreate yourself with intention.’
Instead of preaching or rigid instruction, McNeil’s ideas are presented in a story format, a
series of 52 sessions between Professor Quinn (the name signifies wise intellect) and Landon
Anantrai (Sanskrit for infinite potential) – an exceptionally fine teaching technique that makes
the book more powerful and accessible and entertaining while learning. At the ends of the
sessions are Practicums – exercises to reenact what Quinn and Landon have covered,
underscoring the important phases of cognitive transformation, and followed by Landon’s
reflections on the growth changes he absorbs both for himself and for his associates in
reprogramming mind, body and soul.
Reading and experiencing this book instills the desire to take notes in an attempt to capture
the treasures revealed, phrases such as ‘a whisper from the universe, a nudge from God, a
reminder that no one walks alone,’ ‘Happiness isn’t something you achieve. It’s something
you give.’ ‘Take past victories to supercharge confidence, take past failures to fuel
accountability…visualize them and this conditions you to succeed: God designed me to build
a better world!’ ‘The world view you hold – whether consciously or unconsciously – shapes
your thoughts, emotions, decisions, and ultimately your life. The world is not something to be
controlled – it is something to be created.’ ‘Rewiring our mind to create the life we truly
desire.’
Every reader will find enrichment within these generous pages, a pilgrimage that starts with
self-actualization and moves graciously from that individual point to the universe. Rich in
references to fine authors, thinkers, scientists, and achievers, THE CREATION CODE is a
true “must read” for everyone wishing to unlock the human spirit. A masterwork! Very
Highly Recommended – Review by Grady Harp, Amazon 5-Star Reviewer

I just finished The Creation Code – thought to be honest, saying “finished” doesn’t quite feel
accurate. This is one of those rare books that doesn’t end with the last page. It’s a companion
for the journey – a wellspring of wisdom that I know I’ll return to again and again.
There’s no way I could’ve absorbed everything in one read. Each chapter invites deeper
reflection, and I’m already looking forward to unpacking the layers over time. If there’s
anything I can do to support the continued promotion or breakdown of the insights–whether
in the U.S., Sierra Leone, or beyond – I’m all in.

Tomorrow, I head to Cape Town for one of the largest renewable energy and clean water
conferences in Africa – over 80 countries and 7,000 people expected. Now I understand why
my mentor and friend, Ed, urged me to read your work before this trip. It’s already reframed
how I think about identity, influence, and what it truly means to “create.”

Thank you for this timeless and transformational contribution to the world – told so
powerfully through story.
With deep appreciation,
Gibril

The Creation Code by John McNeil isn’t just a book, it’s a mentor in your hands, that will
stay with you for the rest of your life. With every chapter, you’re guided through a profound
and practical journey of self-discovery that blends neuroscience, psychology, and soulful
storytelling. What sets it apart is the Outcome Formula: a powerful, real-world equation that
shows you exactly how to turn your goals into reality, starting from the inside out.

This book doesn’t just teach, it transforms. Whether you’re a coach, educator, parent, or
simply someone ready for more, The Creation Code gives you the language, structure, and
belief to rewrite your story. I found myself underlining lines, rereading insights, and even
crying through sections that made me feel seen for the first time in a long time.

This is not a motivational “pep talk.” It’s a masterclass in becoming. Highly recommend for
anyone serious about change that lasts.

As a U.S. Air Force veteran, I’ve been through deployments, transitions, and silence. But
nothing prepared me for what The Creation Code Seminar would uncover. When Professor
Quinn walked us through the Mental Diet exercise, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized
my mind—my daily mental space—was filled with noise: old memories, media distractions,
inner critics, and doubts I didn’t even know were still there. It’s been draining me for years.
But what made the difference wasn’t just the insight—it was Dr. Don Steele, the mentor who
carried us through it all. Like a true guide, he didn’t sugarcoat our struggles or rush past the
pain. He sat with it. He sat with us. Like the best kind of coach, he didn’t coddle—he
challenged us to rise, to reflect, and to rebuild with dignity.
This seminar didn’t hand me empty motivation. It gave me tools to take my life back. To
remember who I was before the stress layered over my identity. To design a future that honors
my truth—not my trauma.
If you’re a vet, and you’ve been looking for something real—something that treats you with
respect, not pity—this is it. Professor Quinn and Landon saw us. Dr. Steele walked with
us. And somehow, through all the noise, they helped me hear myself again.

I came into this seminar carrying a reputation I built in the Corps—tough, hard-edged, never
blinking. But inside, I’d outgrown that version of me. I just didn’t know how to live from the
man I’d become.

When I asked Professor Quinn, “What do I do when the people around me only remember the
old me?”—his answer hit me straight in the gut:
“You don’t have to argue with the past. Just keep showing up as the future.”
That one line changed everything.

The Creation Code didn’t give me fluff. It gave me clarity. And it gave me back the power to
walk into any room—not with a mask, but with my mission. I’m not just reacting anymore.
I’m leading with alignment.

But the biggest shift came from the way Dr. Don Steele guided this entire process. Like any
great mentor, he didn’t coddle—he effectively challenged me.

He saw through the performance and invited me to show up as the man I was meant to be. His steady, respectful
presence made this more than a seminar. It made it personal. It made it real.
I’m the same man who served my country. But now I serve with presence, values, and vision.
And I do it for me… and for every young Marine watching how I carry myself today.

After 20 years in the Army, my life was the uniform. The mission. The identity it gave me.
But when that chapter ended, I felt like I’d lost the map. I kept asking: If I’m not a soldier,
what’s left?

Then I sat in on The Creation Code Veterans Seminar — and that question became the
doorway to something I didn’t know I was missing: me.

Landon and Professor Quinn didn’t give us cheesy affirmations or hollow pep talks. They
gave us a structure. A framework. Real tools like the Outcome Formula, the Mental Diet, the
“Three Wishes” exercise — all of which helped me find the parts of myself that were never in
the uniform, but had always been in me.

And most importantly — Dr. Don Steele. The way he facilitated the room, held space for our
stories, and brought decades of wisdom without an ounce of ego? That was leadership in
action. You don’t often meet someone who can challenge you and make you feel seen. But
Dr. Steele did. His presence anchored this experience in real dignity.

This seminar didn’t just help me transition from service — it helped me transform with
purpose.

If you’re a veteran wondering what’s next… this isn’t just a seminar. It’s a homecoming.>

I’ve served. I’ve survived. I’ve held it together for years — for my family, for my team, for
the world. But this seminar? This was the moment I came back to myself.
On March 8th, I wrote something I didn’t expect. A vision. A declaration. One that didn’t
come from my uniform, but from my soul:

“I start each day grounded, clear, and connected. I serve others with the same fierce devotion
I gave in uniform — only now, it’s through mentorship, healing, and showing up fully as a
mother, leader, and friend.”

The Creation Code didn’t just speak to my intellect. It reached my heart. It reminded me that
resilience isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about aligning deeper.

And what brought that message home was Dr. Don Steele. The way he held space for us —
with honor, steadiness, and zero judgment — was unlike anything I’ve experienced in or out
of uniform. Dr. Steele didn’t try to fix us. He believed in us until we could believe in
ourselves again.

Now, my daughter sees a woman who leads with heart. Not just a veteran — but a lighthouse.
If you’ve served and you’re still searching for yourself after the service ends, this seminar
isn’t just helpful. It’s sacred.

I’ve been the one others leaned on. On the field. In my family. In every space I’ve walked
into since leaving the military. But truth be told, I never once gave myself permission to lean.

Then I stepped into The Creation Code Seminar for Veterans — and everything shifted.

Yes, the Outcome Formula and the mental rewiring tools hit home. Yes, Professor Quinn’s
insights cut through the noise. But what truly surprised me was the steady presence of Dr.
Don Steele. His way of guiding the group — with calm, wisdom, and total respect for where
we each were — made me feel like I was safe enough to let go. Not all at once. But enough to
breathe.

When I asked, “How do I start receiving support when I’ve never allowed it?” the response
didn’t come as a lecture. It came as a moment of grace — from Dr. Steele, from Quinn, from
the community. It was this line that unlocked it all:
“You’ve become the pillar… but never had permission to lean.”

That one sentence gave me the permission I never gave myself.

This seminar was more than healing. It was re-humanizing. And for the first time in years, I
remembered what it felt like to be held — not because I was weak, but because I was worth
it.

If you’re a vet who’s carried the world on your shoulders… come sit with us. This is the reset
your soul’s been waiting for.

I’ve attended countless education workshops in my career, but nothing has come close to the
depth, clarity, and impact of The Educator’s Seminar Based on The Creation Code. This
wasn’t just another training – it was a transformational experience that helped me reconnect
with why I became a teacher in the first place.

Each of the 15 Applications spoke directly to the reality we face in classrooms today:
burnout, pressure, compassion fatigue, and the struggle to keep our identity intact while
serving others. The Outcome Formula reframed my entire approach to goals, mindset, and
resilience. And the voice of Professor Sage Quinn? Like having a personal mentor walk
beside you as you rediscover your worth and impact.

This seminar doesn’t just help you teach better – it helps you live better. I now have tools I
use daily: for self-talk, emotional recovery, congruence, and leadership that doesn’t burn me
out.

If you care about teacher mental health, retention, and rekindling purpose in your school
system – start here. This isn’t a program. It’s a legacy in the making.
