The Power to Perceive Differently
As I believe, I see. Before deciding which lens to see our world through, let’s first chat about belief. Is belief synonymous with truth?
Dennis Rodriguez was born in Lajas, Puerto Rico, and grew up in a bilingual home in the Bronx, New York. At the age of sixteen, Dennis moved to Boston, Massachusetts, to attend Boston University’s College of Fine Arts, earning a degree in acting. After graduating in 1993, Dennis moved to Kansas City, Missouri, and completed a master of fine arts degree in acting and directing. The decision to make family and security his most cherished values took over, and he left acting completely to learn how to use a computer and get an office job. He spent the past 25 years in sales management, earning an MBA in international business. Simultaneously, his existence as a businessman was rivaled by a second life.
Meta comes from the Greek prefix and preposition meta, which means “after” or “beyond.” When combined with words in English, meta- often signifies “change” or “alteration” as in the words metamorphic or metabolic.
A metatransformation is what happens after awakening. It is a lifelong process of integrating moments of profound spiritual insight into the ordinary moments of everyday life. Many people experience moments of clarity, peace, or awakening that forever change the way they see themselves and the world. Yet when the experience fades, they often find themselves asking:
“Now what?”
How do I live this truth in my relationships?
How do I remain peaceful when I’m triggered?
How do I bring this awareness into my work, my family, and my everyday decisions?
This is where metatransormation begins. It is the movement from awakening to embodiment. From insight to integration. From understanding truth to living it. At Metatransformations, we believe awakening is not the finish line- it is the invitation to a new way of living.
Through the practical application of a Course in Miracles, contemplative practice, and what we call the Metatransformation Method, we help people into a lasting experience of inner peace.

Skyrocketing unemployment rates, the threat of a worldwide economic collapse, global warming, civil unrest, and terrorism, have put the prospects of a better life on hold for many throughout the world. Trips have been canceled, weddings postponed; fulfilling jobs aligned with our skills and passion are not pursued for security reasons. Is fear destined to win?

We all know that moments of crisis can and usually do take us by surprise: the news of a terminal illness, an unexpected car accident,
