Biography

Steinbrecher was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Edwin E. Steinbrecher and Helen Clara (Siska) Steinbrecher. He was raised in a family of astrologers, including his mother, several aunts and uncles. He learned the language of astrology from the age of five and took classes with his aunt and godmother, Josephine Siska. A restless youth, he joined the Army as a conscientious objector, serving in the medical corps. On April 23, 1953, he volunteered for experiments in lowering body temperature, in order that army medics could find how best to readjust the temperature of soldiers after freezing-trauma. During the procedure, he "flat-lined" in an NDE. During the few minutes when he was clinically dead, he experienced such bliss that it changed him forever and affirmed his life direction.

He founded D.O.M.E., the Inner Guide Meditation Center, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1975. The center moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1984.[14] Steinbrecher died of emphysema on January 26, 2002.[15] [16] Shortly before his death, he sold his data collection to Lois Rodden's Astrodatabank, where his collection was completely integrated. His collection of original birth records has been scanned by the current owner of Astrodatabank, the Swiss company Astrodienst AG, in 2014, and is available to researchers in PDF firmat.
