Jack DuChene

---

In late May of 1984 Jack DuChene walked into a church in Phoenix he had never entered before and would never enter again.

He and his wife had just moved to the city. Times were difficult. The power company was scheduled to shut off their electricity the following day. He needed two hundred dollars and with nowhere else to turn he opened a phone book, found a church with a Wednesday night service, and went.

They arrived late. They spoke to no one. They sat quietly waiting for the service to end.

Before Jack could approach anyone a man he had never met tapped him on the shoulder.

He asked Jack his name. He opened his Bible and wrote it down. He asked Jack to spell his last name. Then he handed him a check for exactly two hundred dollars.

Jack fell back into his chair.

The man turned a chair to face him and said, that was to get your attention.

What he said next would take forty years to fully understand.

The Three Declarations

The man made three statements.

You will do something very important in this world.

It has nothing to do with what you are thinking right now.

And you will go through twenty years of darkness before this begins.

Then he was gone. Jack never saw him again.

The twenty years began almost immediately.

The first ten Jack navigated through ignorance, operating from beliefs about himself and the world that had been installed long before he had any framework to examine them. He did not know what he did not know and he paid for that in ways he would not fully understand until much later.

The second ten were different.

The second ten Jack spent inside alcohol addiction. Multi-day binges followed by four to five days of withdrawal before the cycle restarted. He thought something was fundamentally wrong with him. He was operating from agreements he had never consciously chosen, protecting them as if his life depended on it.

It nearly did.

December 16th 2003

On December 16th 2003 Jack made a decision that had nothing to do with willpower.

He identified four intentions, sobriety, abundance, success, and love, and commanded them into existence every morning upon waking and every night before sleeping using hypnotherapeutic brain states.

On February 24th 2004, ten weeks later, he stopped drinking.

Not because he believed he could stop. Belief had never been enough. What he operated from was a knowing, a direct and precise use of the mind as a creative instrument rather than a recording device replaying old programming.

That distinction, between belief and knowing, became the foundation of everything that followed.

Twenty Years Of Rooms

What followed was twenty years of facilitating large group awareness trainings across thousands of rooms with thousands of people. Every room examining the same framework. Every room producing the same result in human beings who were ready to look honestly at what they had been handed before they could evaluate it.

For twenty years Jack believed the facilitation was the important thing the prophecy pointed toward.

He was wrong.

The facilitation was the education.

The Book

In 2020 the world shifted in ways that made the examination Jack had been facilitating in rooms for two decades feel suddenly urgent at a scale those rooms could never reach.

The framework needed to exist beyond the rooms.

Shatter The Illusion Now is the result of forty years, the prophecy, the darkness, the transformation, and the twenty years of examination with thousands of people, distilled into a precise and honest examination of the mechanism by which human beings are programmed and what becomes available when they finally understand it.

The prophecy from 1984 said something very important was coming.

Forty two years later this is what it pointed toward.
