Born in 1937, Francis "Frank" Lyle Jordan began his life as a cattle rancher in Eastern Oregon's Malheur County. He was the first in his family to attend college, earning a degree in agriculture and veterinary science from Oregon State University. He married his Vale High School sweetheart, Betty, and raised four children-Joe, Pam, Cindy, and Jenée (a.k.a. Jeanie). They lived first at Westfall, operating the Jordan Cattle Co., then moved to Wilder, Idaho in 1971. In Wilder, Frank worked five years for US Steel as a fertilizer sales manager before returning to orchard farming and raising cattle on his Sunny Slope fruit ranch. During that period, he exchanged his cowboy hat for an iconic scarred yellow hard hat, which is often seen in photos (he said it protected his head better when riding a tractor through whipping apple tree branches and falling fruit). But he never gave up wearing cowboy boots.
In the early 1980s, Frank experienced a profound spiritual awakening and discovered a healing gift that utterly changed his life. In the following decades, the cowboy-turned-healer became an award-winning author, dowser, teacher, and psychic intuitive with his healing partner and second wife, Jane. Active with the American Society of Dowsers, he was a skilled dowser and inventor who developed highly sensitive equipment for dowsing, divining, and crystal meditation. He used his skills to help people locate underground water, mineral deposits, ley lines, missing persons, and more. Frank was gifted with all the known psychic abilities and developed them into a metaphysical technology called Clearing The Way. He was a spiritual teacher who constantly taught people how to use his clearing techniques to heal themselves and raise their consciousness. Distance was no hindrance to this ability, and he worked on the phone with people around the world.
In his later years, Frank became a dedicated visionary catalyst for global oneness and transformation. He led weekly world meditations on Wolf Spirit Radio and Universal Mind Radio and was a popular guest on a variety of podcasts and programs. Frank's rich and varied life is captured in the adventures of the characters in his novels and his workbooks on higher consciousness. His first book, Clearing the Way to Higher Consciousness (1989), is a practical course for personal and spiritual growth and won the Humanitarian Healing Award for 2006. Other workbooks include Living with Subtle Energies and Earth Mind. Frank also won the Awakening Visions Award for Literary Excellence in 2012 for his three-novel series, Gods Who Would Be Men (2009), Discovery of the Gods (2010), and Return of the Goddess (2012). His interest in ancient history and genetics led to the discovery of the wealth of information he presents in his adventure novels.
Frank is survived by his first wife, Betty, three children, five grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren.
