Rick Johnson Is on a Mission to Make Awareness of Source Mainstream

Born in Tulsa and raised on a foundation of love and common sense, author and coach Rick Johnson, founder of Divine Mind 1.2, is building a platform to make awareness of source mainstream through three books and his teaching.

Los Angeles, United States, October 27, 2026 /PressCable/ -- LOS ANGELES, CA. Author, teacher, and youth basketball coach Rick Johnson has one aim behind everything he builds: to make awareness of source mainstream. Through his company, Divine Mind 1.2, his three books, and his work with families and young athletes, Rick is building a platform that helps people find the love and awareness he believes already lives within every person.

What Rick Offers

Books: The Universal Principle Made Visible, Love Yourself First, and a new parenting book, all available on Whop.

Teaching: the Ventricle System Method, a breath-paced meditation practice taught online, in person, and to companies.

Family: a parenting series that helps parents build a child's tool kit from the womb to the world.

Coaching: youth basketball in Los Angeles, helping young players stay calm and trust themselves under pressure.

Culture: a growing platform at ydmm.love dedicated to bringing awareness of source into everyday life.

Rooted in Tulsa

Rick was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where respect for elders and for the people who came before was instilled from the womb. His family lived in the area of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, the attack that destroyed the Greenwood district known as Black Wall Street. Rick says his family later learned that their childhood home sat on an unmarked grave from the massacre.

Rather than fear, Rick describes a feeling of love and care in that home, which he credits to the spirits of those who were lost. That love lived most clearly in his grandmother, who led with love before pride, love before ego, and love before her own pain. Rick believes love was how she survived the hatred outside the house, and it is what she passed on to him.

He remembers walking through grass as tall as his shoulders, feeling guided by the love of the Creator, and playing on the train tracks behind the house where the trains roared by day and night. That love, he says, became the source of his common sense.

Common Sense as a Foundation

Common sense became the foundation of Rick's upbringing and later his teaching, because of its power to build strong family values. It carried him through years when reading was out of reach. Rick did not learn to read until his late twenties.

Results That Started With Love

Rick points to his own life as proof of what love and honesty can open up. He says he was once offered an acting role on the TV series NYPD Blue by David Milch, the show's co-creator and executive producer, and had to turn it down because he could not yet read. Rather than hide it, Rick told the truth, something he credits to loving himself more than protecting his pride. Milch answered with what Rick calls the gift of a lifetime: he paid for Rick's first reading lessons and bought him a bike. It was the beginning of a long road to comprehension. Today Rick is the author of three books.

Rick also describes learning to listen to source, and to trust that life, even when it looks hard, can hold a secret prize in the mud pile of circumstance. A motorcycle accident in 2014 changed his life in many ways: money, family, love and love lost, and friendships that turned out to be false. It also brought lifelong connections that are still thriving today. Rick believes none of it would have been possible without a solid foundation of love and compassion.

Three Books, One Purpose

Each of Rick's books carries the same purpose from a different direction.

The Universal Principle Made Visible maps a path inward through the brain's own anatomy, using the ventricles at its center as a place to rest attention and come home to awareness.

Love Yourself First turns that awareness toward the inner conversation. It names the Critic, the Flatterer, and the Witness, and carries honest self-love into every relationship, from partners and family to friends and coworkers.

Book One of his parenting series starts at the very beginning. It treats a newborn's brain as an empty tool kit that parents begin filling from the womb, using the milestones of rolling over, crawling, walking, and running as a map for life.

Together, the books serve one life purpose: to help people know who they really are, love themselves first, and pass that love on to the next generation.

From Tulsa to Los Angeles

Rick moved to Los Angeles in 1994 and spent about 30 years studying meditation, the brain, and the world's spiritual teachers before founding Divine Mind 1.2. He describes his role as a shepherd, not a guru, and his mission as taking human consciousness home to itself and making awareness of source part of everyday life.
