George Sison is the preeminent Filipino proponent of New Thought and is recognized as the "Consciousness Guru."

From a privileged upbringing, George gained notoreity in his youth as the writer behind the pseudonym Conde de Makati, whose eponymous magazine column irreverently revealed the most intimate goings-on in Filipino high society.

During the Martial Law under the Marcos regime, he was detained along with other journalists, student activists, anti-government politicians and civil society figures. He narrowly escaped the fate of many of them, who died or disappeared under torture or execution.

It was during this period that George began seeking a deeper meaning of his life experiences and studying esoteric subjects such as astrology, metaphysics and New Thought.

He had achieved fruitful creative self-expression in many endeavors-appearing in stage plays and hosting TV shows; mounting three one-man executions as a painter-poet; achieving the distinction of being perhaps the only Filipino to compose a song for the international musical group The Platters; and producing what is now widely regarded as one of the classics of Filipino cinema, Pagdating sa Dulo by renowned film director Ishmael Bernal.

To institutionalize his learnings in New Thought into teachings for the benefit of other people, George established the Temple of Prayer, Peace and Prosperity (TOPPP) in 1983. The organization was subsequently affiliated with International New Thought Alliance (INTA), with support from the world-renowned New Thought expert and author Catherine Ponder.

In 1998, in recognition of his efforts in propagating the movement, George produced broadcast materials such as drama "Dalawang Mukha ng Karma" [The Two Faces of Karma] and a season of "Will Your Fortune in the Game of Life," where New Thought Principles were made more accessible to a growing public television.

The turn of the millenium and civilization's impending entry into the age of Aquarius, as defined by astrology, aptly brings more avenues for George's New THought reach. IN 2002, he published his first New Thought book, the seminal A Miracle Awaits You, which went on to become a sold-out best seller. Other titles include I Am A Winner and Soul Spa.

He also hosts the popular radio program "Positive Session" and pens the highly anticipated Sunday lifestyle column "And So It Is' in top broadsheet Philippine Daily Inquirer. The portions on spiritual teachings in the column have been selected and compiled in this book, You Are God As You. Source: Joel Cruz
