says he "unhypnotised" them instead of hypnotizing them. Masters called hypnosis a "duplication of life's errors": About his changing professions from diamond cutting, Masters said in an interview "I had my own business, but I left that lucrative work because I had a calling for this kind of work. I'm more interested in what I'm doing now than anything else." Masters set the precedent for the legality of non-medical practice of hypnosis when he was charged with practicing medicine without a license at age 30. He was sentenced to serve 30 days in jail. (For the medical practice of hypnotism, see hypnotism precursors, such as Dave Elman.) The Foundation for Human Understanding Masters lived in Los Angeles, California, buying a house trailer and living in Venice, CA in 1961. He later profited from his investment in gold at its price highs in 1980 and purchased Tall Timber Ranch in Selma, Oregon, and relocated his family to Grants Pass, Oregon, where he moved the non-profit Foundation of Human Understanding. He produced an observational or meditation recording titled How Your Mind Can Keep You Well, which became the title of his radio show and one of his books. Talk radio show In 1961, Masters started a talk radio counseling show, which is currently broadcast under the name Advice Line, as a syndicated program. The show has been on the air continuously since its start. Masters passed hosting duties to his sons, David and Alan, shortly before his death. Media appearances Masters has appeared on CNN's Crossfire, Larry King Live, The Sally Jessy Raphael Show, The Sean Hannity Show, and The Drudge Report.
