He coined the concept of psycho-synergy in the 1970s as a psychological notion to contemplate personal development through the integration of spiritual values in human evolution relating to our soul's journey and its responsibilities throughout life.
He has had close contact with many spiritual leaders ranging from tribal chieftains to HH Dalai Lama, Pope JP II, Sai Baba , and he has studied Yoga, Sufism, Kabala and ethnobotanical traditions.
Warter's vision is unique in that it is inclusive, projected into the future, valuing traditions of the past with respect yet realizing that destiny is being created in a singularly and mysteriously new way for each being and time of our species, which brings into place a non-dogmatic, open, transformative energy that includes each individual and all into a free and new space.
This requires deep inner work and a new understanding of the purpose of human life that separates his work from philosophical or psychological repetitious or theoretical explanations and requires a deep inner inquiry.
Warter is clear that we have completed a cycle of social and psychological planetary development and that we need to activate the neuroplasticity of new avenues of our being to reach a positive destiny of vital quality for the development of future generations.

His methodology has continually evolved, from a time when training in entheogenic therapy was part of academic curriculum, to the current time when it might be celebrating its return.

Dr. Warter has been nourished from traditional psychoanalysis, to existential, humanistic, transpersonal schools, having been influenced by shamanism and its traditions. These ancient pathways are, through meditation and ethnobotanical research, influencing their return and enhancement of modern ways of healing.
