Practical Spirituality
Here at A Spiritual Revolution, our business is teaching adults and youth practical spirituality, a way of life based on living in harmony.
This is nature’s way, as the divine cosmic operator, universal intelligence, God, intended for all living organisms.
It’s just that we humans have gone badly astray. Everybody wants to be healthy and happy, hardly anyone is.
At the heart of our troubles is that we have a wrong relationship - with ourselves, with each other, and with the very planet that gives us all our life. Harmony and peace are out, stress and conflict are in.
We are on a path of collective, and individual, self-destruction. We don’t know who we are, we don’t know how the web of life works, and we are disconnected from our true nature.
We are not living intelligently. The school system and society damage everybody, rich and poor, famous and unknown.
Our schooling has conditioned us into a really terrible ignorance, out of which fear, greed, delusion, hatred, conflict and dis-ease arise, stealing our innate beauty, our human essence and our freedom.
For a full, hard-hitting, expose of this school system, and to understand all the forces that get in our way of leading a healthy and happy life, get your copy of the ebook An Education Charter and Framework for the Healing of Humankind here.
We struggle with our health, we struggle in our relationships, we struggle with loneliness, unhappiness and low self-esteem. We are living without our mojo; the joy of life has been sucked out of us.
It doesn’t have to be this way, and it’s not meant to be this way. Time to put a stop to it. Let’s reclaim our natural intelligence, our innate beauty, and power to do good, and let’s give expression to our multiple talents and unleash our true spirit upon the world. LIVE LIKE A TRUE HUMAN!!
Practical spirituality stops the struggles by removing the root causes: non-understanding of our SELF. A Spiritual Revolution is the learning journey you take to educate and empower yourself with essential skills, self-knowledge and self-belief so that you can live with health, harmony and happiness.
This is not a pipe dream, IT’S YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.
If you would like to reclaim your birthright and live like a true human being, and if you are ready and willing to do what is required to achieve this, then you are in the very place you need to be in.

And be sure about it, the journey to living spiritually, living with purpose and in alignment with your true nature, is not hard work, it’s a magical adventure wherein your own treasure is revealed to you.
Your Contract with the Universe
Please be aware that we are not talking the fluffy woo-woo kind of spirituality that fills books and social media.
Darkness, hatred and our capacity for evil are real and inside all of us, and must not be ignored: they are to be faced up to and understood.
It is through this understanding that we are able to liberate ourselves from their power over us. Gazed upon by the light of your perception and understanding, darkness and ignorance shrivel up and wither away.
Nor are we talking about any kind of religion, although practical spirituality does share attributes with the original religious messages. Religions tell us what to do and how to live. That’s a backdoor politics coming at us.
Nor are we talking some kind of complicated esoteric spiritual knowledge being advanced by the gurus and masters, confusing us with their language and concepts that seem to have no practical basis for us ordinary human beings, and which lead us to simply another version of control and dependency..
Practical spirituality is an individual contract between you and the universe. It is you taking full responsibility for protecting, promoting and loving life… your life and all life. A Spiritual Revolution is the learning journey you take to manage your own life, health and destiny.
This is true spirituality. It is conscious, heart-centred living. You live in right relationship: right relationship with your self, right relationship with all others, and right relationship with our beautiful awe-inspiring world.
To cross the bridge from the world of conditioned ignorance into the world where you live intelligently, holistically and harmoniously, requires you to engage in a period of unlearning and relearning to educate and empower yourself to lead the life you want, by aligning yourself with your true nature.
This transformational journey you navigate is A Spiritual Revolution. It comes along a pathway of guided discovery by Philip Keay, author, creator and builder of everything on this website. Books and live learning courses in The Self-Empowerment Academy support and inspire you in your quest, helping deliver you into a life you perhaps only dared to dream about.
Who are you? What are you?
For what do you live?
How can you take charge of your life, health and destiny?
What is your purpose?
What is your passion?
How can you grow, evolve, improve yourself?
How can you help heal a seriously troubled human world?
A Spiritual Revolution is self-inquiry. This is a most amazing journey into the inner landscape of your mind, body and soul.
Self-inquiry leads us to self-knowledge, self-empowerment, and self-growth, enabling us to step into a way of life characterised by:
health, harmony and happiness
inner peace, gratitude and self-trust
meaning, purpose and passion
Self-inquiry is the engine of A Spiritual Revolution.
A Spiritual Revolution is a 5-step journey of self-inquiry which asks you to build 5 foundational pillars to align yourself with your true nature so that you can take charge of your own life, health and destiny.
A Spiritual Revolution is transformational, it is life-changing, it is an inner journey of adventure to align yourself with your true nature.
A Spiritual Revolution is a revolution in learning to inspire you to do as Gandhi bid us. You develop and acquire the skills, self-knowledge and self-belief that school education denied us.

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.

Menu For A Spiritual Revolution: Health Harmony & Happiness is the book that took my blood sweat and tears from me for eight years to write, complete and publish!
It is a book-reading and heart-expanding adventure taking you along a journey of exploring and understanding your mind, the human condition, and the spiritual nature of our human essence. Multiple tasks along the way enable you to practically apply this knowledge to enhance your life, move into your optimal health, and forge strong, healthy relationships.
From that foundation nothing can stop you living out your purpose and passion, and enjoying a fulfilling, rewarding life.
You can sample the book by clicking on these words, or buy your copy here.
