Greetings—My name is Chad Ashley Vandenberg.

I am the founder and visionary of the creation now known as Elements for Life, Inc.

I was inspired to create and share our products, in part, by my own experience with an alchemical substance called colloidal gold. Colloidal gold for me was nothing less than a super-nutrient of the highest order. It had subtle yet profound effects on my mental, emotional and physical well-being. My first experiences of what can only be described as unity consciousness came in conjunction with my supplementation of colloidal gold. These transformational, personal breakthroughs came, even though at the time, I wasn't aware of its full effects. I first started taking gold for its reputed ability to help my chronic knee pain. I had been injured as a gymnast in catastrophic backflip on uneven ground. I was on crutches for months and in pain 24/7. I hoped the gold would eliminate the pain. What I found instead is that it transformed my relationship with the pain. The less I resisted the pain, the more my attention was free to focus on things that mattered more to me.

My social and personal relationships also began to Transform. Across the board, it seemed like things were getting smoother, less abrasive, less friction, less arguments, less fighting, less tension, deeper communication, and more acceptance of self and others. I realize now that the reason my external relationships were transforming was because my relationship with myself was transforming! My consciousness was transforming ever so subtly and the ripple effect it had in my life was profound.

What people thought about me or my choices began to not mater to me anymore. This allowed me to live from a far more authentic place. I learned that stress is a self produced by-product of resistance. The less we resist our true thoughts and feelings the more authentic and powerful we become. I let go of lies I had been telling myself and discovered that Radical self-honesty allows authentic living.

What really blew me away however, was the consciousness enhancing effects I experienced. The period during which I supplemented colloidal gold, I discovered that I had the ability to solve complex design problems associated with the aviation project I was working on. I was able to visualize the interaction of extremely complex dynamics operating as a whole with extreme accuracy. My mind seemed to wrap itself fluidly around anything I thought about.

I also began to notice my dreams were becoming so vivid that I would realize that I was dreaming. The dreams were more vivid than real life; so I recognized within the dreams that I had to be dreaming! I discovered that as soon as I realized I was dreaming two things would happen: The dream became even more vivid, and instantly I had control and ability to interact with the dream from a waking consciousness kind of perspective. Sometimes I would become simultaneously aware of my body as pure energy. In this state, which felt like an ecstatic electric bliss kiss, I could fly, walk through walls, and explore the physical nature of reality from a very revealing perspective. I seemed to experience an unbroken continuity of consciousness across dimensions of my being. These experiences taught me that whatever we focus on expands and that our thoughts create our reality, and that we are all points of consciousness within one infinite being learning to become aware of ourselves as infinite love.

These experiences so transformed my perceptions and experience of "reality" that I dedicated my life to the transformation of myself, the planet, and the collective remembering of our highest nature as individuals and as a global culture. I live in service to this mission now and invite you to unite with me on this journey of transformation. I welcome you warmly to our ever growing worldwide family of Planetary Transformation Artists who are teaching and empowering people to heal, grow, and live their highest potentials. May we be blessed overflowing as we walk this path together!
