RAMSEY MOURAD CreatorInfinity Compass <a href=”http://infinitycompass.com” data-mce-href=”http://infinitycompass.com”>infinitycompass.com</a>Ramsey Mourad is the Creator of Infinity Compass, a methodology for creating in alignment, integrity, and ease. The alignment and integrity are with one’s self. The feeling and experience of ease is a result of this alignment. The methodology begins with an orientation to one’s infinite capacity for creation and a recognition of how we as individual expressions of that capacity are constantly creating on multiple levels of our experience. From this orientation, we begin to recognize how the events and circumstances of our lives are not only not random, but actually an expression of that vast, creative capacity; one that far exceeds even our ability to comprehend on a conscious level.Ramsey has experienced challenges, failures, successes and all kinds of other stuff. He presents, teaches, writes and participates with others whenever he can.
