David Johnstone is the creator of the DestinyMatrix Spiritual Profiling™ system.
David was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and embarked on his fledgling exploration into esoteric spirituality at the age of 13, through the catalyst of Orbis Publishing’s weekly magazine, The Unexplained (Mysteries of Mind Space & Time), which featured illuminating articles on a rich array of earth mysteries, myths, ancient knowledge, UFOs, psychic and paranormal phenomena subject matter. Each article provided a recommended reading list of books, which served as touchstones for further research and kindled his thirst for eternal mysteries. A fascination with India, its history, culture and religious traditions also flourished in the midst of this phase of ardent discovery.
Whilst living in London, England in 1994, David had an unexpected encounter with an acquaintance who introduced him to the writings of Alice A. Bailey, Helena Roerich and Benjamin Creme. The teachings contained within their extensive published works revealed even deeper layers of ancient Eastern philosophy, knowledge and wisdom, which offered profound insights into the nature of human existence and life. Soon after David began practising a powerful group meditation technique, Transmission Meditation, participating in group sessions two or three times a week for over 10 years. During this period David studied a broad spectrum of teachings given to the world by various spiritual teachers such as J. Krishnamurti, Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, Sri Sathya Sai Baba and Sri Ramakrishna.
In 2003 David met his spiritual teacher, Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda. Through the Grace of Paramahamsa Vishwananda’s love, compassion and teaching David has gained a direct understanding of the true potentiality of human consciousness and our capacity to Love, altogether different from the knowledge presented in books. David received initiation into the Atma Kriya yoga meditation system in 2010, which subsequently became the keystone within his inner quest for what lies beyond the known.
Beyond the sphere of spirituality, David possesses a passion for Renaissance art, rock music and nature. His professional life has been predominantly focused in the field of building services management and David is a Certified Member of the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (CIWFM).
