“Frank Natale served as a unique teacher and guide in the field of human growth and development for more than 30 years in the USA, Europe and in many other parts of the world began his last great journey on his 61st birthday. He left his body at June 21st 2002. Frank, was a great and gifted teacher, still sending signs of encouragement in the creation of his conscious death at the day of the Festival of Light, Summer Solstice. He wanted to die at summer solstice, and the reason for this was that it is a doorway to the 4th dimension. Frank indicated that even death, the last great passage and challenge in life, is nothing but a transition into another dimension – no beginning, no end, only transformation…
Frank often mused, he was teaching his partner Ichiko and training her to be his mother. I took many photos of beautiful baby Sola who was born within days of Franks death, but only in one frame was this pose held. When Ichiko saw this image, she broke down in tears and cried, ‘that is Frank’.”
