Well, all about Slim Spurling could fill many pages. Instead, I’d like to answer a question I get asked countless times — both when Slim was still with us and since he made his transition from the physical plane:
“What kind of a man was Slim?”
Slim the Teacher
Slim was an extraordinary yet humble man—an enlightened being who saw goodness in everyone he met. As a teacher, he captured hearts with his stories and wisdom. He had incredible energy and insights, which he shared freely.
But he never made a fuss about what he knew. He didn’t want followers or fanfare. In fact, when people would put him on a pedestal, he’d say with a smile, “I put my britches on one leg at a time like everyone else.”
Slim loved teaching the principles behind the Light-Life Tools. He had a special way of explaining complex science in a way that anyone could understand. And if he didn’t have an answer, he’d admit it—he never pretended to know it all. He encouraged people to experiment with his tools and share their findings. To him, everyone who used a Light-Life Tool became a Geobiology Research Associate.
Slim’s life was seeking knowledge and truth to achieve healing for the planet through the use of tools and healing methods. His heartfelt desire was to help heal our planet and everyone and everything living on our planet.
Slim the Researcher
Above all, Slim was a scientist and seeker of truth. His passion was to find solutions for air pollution and to improve health and well-being. He could spend hours in the shop making tools, then dive deep into research, always questioning, always learning.
I remember when he got a report from South Africa after a workshop he led. A participant shared how a friend with brain and liver tumors — sent home from the hospital to get her affairs in order — used 3 ½ Sacred Cubit Light-Life Tensor Rings and two 1 Sacred Cubit Light-Life Tensor Rings as part of her healing. After six weeks, both tumors were gone. Slim was thrilled, of course, but also curious. He spent time experimenting with the same rings, moving one through the other to observe the energetic effects. This was Slim: always wondering, “What happens if I try this?”
Slim the Friend
Slim had a deep love for people. He was the kind of friend who would drive for hours just to deliver a remedy to someone in need. He’d take your call — whether he knew you or not — and truly listen.
I’ve seen people write that “Slim loved the women,” but really, Slim loved people. And truth be told, if he had to choose between a casual conversation and a deep scientific discussion, he’d choose the latter every time.
He was selfless when it came to others’ health, often putting it ahead of his own. He didn’t always take great care of himself, but he made sure everyone around him had what they needed to feel better.
Slim the Wizard
Slim once told me he remembered coming from another universe. After he passed, I had a reading with a psychic who knew nothing about him. Early in the session, the psychic asked me, “Who was this man? He wasn’t from this world!” That’s the kind of presence Slim had—grounded, yet deeply connected to the higher realms.
He jokingly called himself an “Old Hillbilly”—a way of downplaying his genius. Some people fell for that humble disguise, but those who really knew him saw his brilliance.
A doctor friend who still uses the Tools in his practice recently told me, “Slim was like Tesla. Way ahead of his time.”
Slim and Nature
From childhood, Slim was closely attuned to nature. He could read the weather just by looking at the sky and learned about herbs from his mother and grandmother. He later studied with a Native American woman who deepened his knowledge of plants and their healing properties.
That knowledge came in handy one day when he placed a puffball mushroom inside an Environmental Harmonizer to help save someone from anthrax poisoning. You can read the full story in the e-book Slim Spurling’s Universe.
“My” Slim
Slim loved his coffee and bacon, and eggs for breakfast — and a good steak for dinner. But he could also forget to eat entirely when he was deep in research or a passionate conversation.
He was deeply concerned about the world and politics, especially the direction he saw our country heading. He understood the Constitution and felt we were drifting away from its principles.
When Slim was alive, I never referred to him as “my husband.” I always just said “Slim.” He was too unique to be owned or defined in that way. I loved his energy and his infectious sense of humor. He could laugh until tears streamed down his face.
I miss that laughter—and him—every day.

Watch his interview with Alan Steinfeld — my favorite one. It beautifully captures the essence of who Slim was.
