A Spiritual Revolution is a heart-expanding inner journey of self-inquiry and self-discovery to empower yourself with self-knowledge, self-awareness and self-confidence
Our human world urgently needs YOU to be thriving in your own health and wellness, and it needs YOU to be a light for others to do the same.
Humankind is in terrible self-inflicted trouble. We are destroying ourselves through our ignorance of self and of the whole web of life.
Only individual human beings can turn things around.
That’s you and me.
The way we do that is to heal ourselves. Everybody needs healing because our schooling damaged and disempowered us all. Only we can heal ourselves.
A Spiritual Revolution is a framework, a 5-step process, and a guide to achieving and maintaining optimal health and wellbeing in your body, mind and soul.
A Spiritual Revolution is each of us bringing about our psychological realignment and spiritual reconnection with the ways of nature, thereby expunging our schooled ignorance of who we are.
Now you live with health, harmony and happiness. But the real magic is that, in taking care of and valuing yourself, you are proactively contributing to the healing of humankind.

“Spiritual living means entering into a conscious agreement with Mother Earth, to protect, promote and enhance your life and hers, to the best of your ability. This agreement asks you to forevermore push the boundaries of your best, and to love and cherish yourself along the way.
It is a commitment to lifelong learning: learning to learn, and learning the art of living. A Spiritual Revolution sets you up for life. The menu within invites you to decondition, self-educate and empower yourself into health, harmony and happiness.
Have a fantastic adventure.”
These are the opening words from Menu For A Spiritual Revolution: Health Harmony & Happiness.

Question: What do the terms inner authority and human essence mean to you?

Dear Reader
A very warm welcome to A Spiritual Revolution… and the rest of your life!
I am Philip, an Englishman who went to Thailand in 1991 for my big travel adventure in the great mystical, oriental, tropical Far East. I went on a one-way ticket to ensure I had maximum spending money to stay as long as I could… seemingly without a thought about how to get back home.
As it turns out, I never did!
During my travels I fell in love with the country and her people, and when my spending money ran out I managed to talk my way into a job teaching English to Thai adults in Bangkok so that I could extend my stay. I immediately discovered that teaching adults (and adolescents) was my vocation in life. It subsequently transpired that I had accidentally emigrated!
I would say that my conceiving and promoting of A Spiritual Revolution, as the healing journey for all human beings, is a synthesis of my Western upbringing, my African roots (from my mum), and my living in the Eastern, Buddhist nation of Thailand for most of my adult life.
Undoubtedly we all need healing to some degree, with many needing a lot of it. We (all of humankind) must face up to the most pressing home truth of modern human life: most people are struggling mentally and suffering emotionally, and it’s because we don’t know who we are, nor how life works. We fear death because we are ignorant of what life is.
It’s my mission to train and inspire adults and adolescents everywhere to dive into their inner world and discover, activate and cultivate their human essence and their inner authority.
This is the key to overcoming the mental burdens we all carry from an anti-human anti-fun school system which damages us emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. When the adults reconnect, empower and liberate themselves, they will no longer, albeit inadvertently, be getting in the way of the children.
Inner authority translates into self-worth: having the self-knowledge to be and express oneself, and having the courage and confidence to lead one’s own life according to one’s unique set of talents, traits and individual nature.
Relating to life with our inner authority enables us to overcome self-doubt and that harmful inner voice which tries to convince us we are not good enough. We stop comparing ourselves to others, and instead focus on our own growth, evolution and self-development. We are liberated from worrying what others think of us. I cannot emphasise how HUGE this is!
Being grounded in your inner authority harmonises your whole self with the whole web of life, thereby giving full rein to your human essence.
Your human essence is your very humanness, which houses the energies of love, peace, kinship, joy, fun, curiosity, creativity, empathy and freedom - all that we deeply yearn to experience for ourselves.
Our human essence is our personal connection with the source of all life and with each other. Whenever you feel a unity and oneness with others, this is your human essence in action. When you feel love for life, vitality and energy in body, and clarity and joy in mind, this is your human essence in action.
I have built this website to offer you a variety of resources to inspire you into making transformative enduring changes to your life so that you can:
live with holistic wellbeing: health, harmony and happiness
forge strong healthy relationships
actualise all the potential and talents that you were born with
and be a mentor and example for others to follow in kind.
Please join me in my mission to bring peace, love and understanding to our poor old struggling human family. Let’s do our own inner work and work together to loosen and remove the grip which despair, fear, loneliness, frustration, hopelessness and conflict have over our whole human world in these trying troubling times we all live in.
We are such beautiful creatures, with so much untapped potential and ability, and mountains of hidden love in our blocked hearts. We were given heaven on earth, so let’s accept it instead of rejecting it! Get with the 3Us:
Unblock your mind! Unlock your heart! Unleash your spirit!

He is me! Everything you see in this digital corner of the universe is my creation, and represents the foundations for my mission to revolutionise how education is done. Education is very much for adults, not just during childhood.
On this page you will learn a bit about me, what kind of teacher I am through my students’ eyes, and I’ll share a timeline of my life’s work and mission. It seems every time I am in a comfortable place in life that I then leave that for new challenges and different pastures
Undoubtedly I’ve trodden a ‘rebel’ path in life, always with two driving forces: a love of learning, and a love of fun.
In 1991 I went travelling to Thailand, and in one fell swoop the universe ‘emigrated’ me and made me a teacher of adults, both of which I had no idea were going to happen! But it put learning and fun squarely into my life.
I am now on this big mission because I can clearly see how the wrong kind of education has so harmed humankind, and I know that a heart-centred, skills-focused education will transform our human family.
