About the Authors

DavidPaul and Candace Doyle have been seekers of Truth for nearly all of their adult lives. For Candace, this journey began when she discovered the Berkeley Psychic Institute (BPI) shortly after graduating from California State University in 1987 with a degree in Social Work. Due to her gifts as a psychic, her passion for healing, and her ability to connect with people from all walks of life, Candace quickly ascended the ranks of the Institute and became a meditation teacher, performing thousands of clairvoyant readings and healings over the course of her seven years there.

DavidPaul’s spiritual journey began while attending the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1989. One month before the first day of his junior year, the day on which all cadets must sign their military commitment, DavidPaul was riding in a car with friends when his favorite Kenny G. song came on the radio. In the middle of the song, something unexpected happened—his heart suddenly opened and in rushed the most profound love he had ever experienced.

Wanting to somehow share this gift with others, he realized that what he wanted more than anything else was to impact people’s lives in the most profound way he could imagine. Knowing that pursuing a career in the military was not going to take him where he wanted to go, DavidPaul decided to continue his studies at U.C. Berkeley. After graduating with a degree in Political Economy in 1992, he stumbled upon the Berkeley Psychic Institute, where he and Candace soon became close friends.

In the fall of 1993, the course of their lives together was soon to change. A friend introduced them to a channeled transcript from Jesus that impacted their experience of life so deeply that the beliefs and concepts they had learned at the Institute—in the blink of an eye—no longer felt true. Shortly after this profound transformation, they discovered A Course in Miracles (ACIM), and within a matter of months, they decided to move to Hawaii to begin new lives and deepen their experience of the Course.

Shortly thereafter, while reading one of the lessons from the ACIM Workbook, Candace spontaneously started hearing the Holy Spirit within her as a discernible, audible, conversational Voice. After sharing this exciting news with DavidPaul, he felt guided to send someone to her to receive communication ... and thus began their work with of sharing the Holy Spirit with others.

While Candace’s work with the Holy Spirit flourished in Hawaii, DavidPaul struggled to hear this Voice for himself with no apparent success. After he and Candace became married in 1998, DavidPaul started asking the Holy Spirit how he too could hear this Voice.

Over the course of several months, the Holy Spirit gave DavidPaul numerous exercises to help him open up to hearing this Voice within him. Then one Sunday morning, while Candace was sharing the words of the Holy Spirit while having church in their living room together, the Holy Spirit turned to DavidPaul and told him to open his mouth and start speaking. To DavidPaul’s surprise, after years of trying to hear this Voice within him, he opened his mouth— and out came the Voice of the Holy Spirit.

Since becoming married, DavidPaul and Candace have known that sharing the Holy Spirit and teaching others how to hear this Voice within them was their mission and purpose in life, but with the demands of raising a family, finding the time and energy to manifest this dream was difficult indeed. Wanting to make a break from Corporate America yet not knowing how, their opportunity came when DavidPaul was unexpectedly laid off from America Online in 2003. Instead of searching for another job in Silicon Valley, they decided to sell their home and moved to Ashland, Oregon to write the book they had always dreamed of writing with the Holy Spirit—The Journey That Never Was.

DavidPaul and Candace continue to live in Ashland, Oregon with their 4 year old daughter, Hannah.
