Dear Friend
The content on this website is designed to inspire you to take action—urgent, unpostponable action—to help build a better world for all of us by building a better life for yourself. I would like to help you fall in love with life, or, if you have already, to deepen this love.
It is truism, and fundamental insight afforded us by understanding karmic law, that to build a healthy, happy and harmonious life for yourself you will necessarily be doing the same for Mother Earth and all who dwell upon her. This website will make clear how that works, starting here on this page.
I am Philip Keay, a transformational educator and soul adventurer, and for over a decade I have been building an educational and spiritual ecosystem for the purposes of facilitating you to educate and empower yourself to transform your life and heal humankind.
It’s been a tough, challenging and often lonely journey, but for every single human being who comes on board my mission it will be more than worth it. Quite simply I had no choice because I had discovered the solution to all our ills. I call it A Spiritual Revolution, but we must first start our journey of discovery together by inquiring into the root causes of all our troubles, and just why A Spiritual Revolution is essential work for all adults.

The Illusion of Separation
Humanity unknowingly lives under the dark cloud of a gigantic false understanding, which I call THE ILLUSION OF SEPARATION. This leads to a cascade of erroneous beliefs and further misunderstandings—masquerading as truth, facts, knowledge, reality—that negatively permeate all areas of human endeavour.
We therefore live with flawed (often harmful, even deadly) science, medicine, food, education, research, academia, media, and government.
As for our own inner world—and the workings of our mind, body and soul consciousness—The Illusion of Separation hits even harder. The upshot is that we don’t know who we are, we don’t know how the web of life works, and we don’t know how to live in harmony with others and with Mother Earth.
This delusion has disconnected, disempowered and dehumanised us all, suppressing our innate human essence, intelligence and soul consciousness.
It’s why our human world is on fire, caught up in turbulent times of transition where troubles, trials and tribulations are faced by nearly everybody - if not directly, then it impacts on us because we see family and friends struggling.
Our disempowerment is truly insidious because we don’t even know we don’t know. We assume we know, but we don’t. In fact, humanity has come to view itself as more intelligent, powerful and important than the rest of the world’s inhabitants and Mother Earth herself. Whoah, steady on humanity!
In this arrogance we cut ourselves from our roots, and we ditched God (the Divine Cosmic Operator), installing ourselves in ‘his’ place. Instead of working with nature’s laws, we seek to conquer nature and make it bend to our will.
Since this delusion of ours runs directly counter to the immutable laws of nature, which state that everything is interconnected and interdependent, we suffer from almost perpetual stress and inner conflict.
Our understanding of the outer world is flawed, our understanding of our inner world almost non-existent, and we are ignorant of how the two are connected. Ignorance in this context is definitively not bliss.
It can, therefore, be no surprise that our human world has completely lost its way, seemingly marching ever-faster towards its own self-destruction.
This terrible cocktail of delusion, ignorance and arrogance is a total human catastrophe.
We are living in a psychological and spiritual wasteland, which has led to so much physical illness, disease, emotional pain and mental confusion in so many human beings.
Many masters over many millennia have tried telling us, but we don’t listen. Many have been killed for bringing us a truth we don’t seem to want. Over 2500 years ago Gautam Buddha warned specifically against delusion, which leads to the cravings of greed and the energy of fear. I consider greed and fear to be two sides of the same coin of ignorance.
However, today’s world of human beings live in The Digital Revolution, an era of rapidly advancing technology. This has amplified and accelerated our pathway to self-destruction. Without urgently course-correcting ourselves we are sleepwalking (sleeprunning?) into totalitarianism, perhaps even threatening our continued existence.
To me the horrific crime of 2020 serves as a pivotal moment. I said from the outset this was a virus of the human mind. It’s our mind we need to attend to.
(I’ve been exploring, reflecting and learning about the human mind since the early 1990s, and I based my book on guiding readers to find their own understanding of this vital epicentre of human life; our schools taught us nothing about it.)
I feel we have arrived at a T-Junction, a fork in the road: one path takes us to outright tyranny, the other path takes us to a golden era. I think humanity has taken our strained relationship with Mother Earth to the limit and we have forced her to give us a binary choice: shape up or ship out. If you look into the African concept and insights of ubuntu, you will realise that choice applies to individual human beings and the whole of humanity.
But, since humanity is actually just a word and can change not a sausage about our world, it’s up to each one of us to make those changes.
A Spiritual Revolution
A SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION, as conceived, built and taught by me, Philip Keay, is the solution for humanity’s transformation, healing and liberation.
It is the revolution, transformation, healing and liberation OF you BY you FOR you.
But here’s the essential thing to grasp: since we live in this interconnected interdependent, when we build a better life for ourselves, we are building a better world for all, and on the flip side, if you want to build a better world you’ll need to build a better life for yourself
They go hand in hand. You cannot choose one or the other.
I consider this to be a tragedy, but: “out of the ashes arises the phoenix”. I am inviting you to add to the numbers of phoenixes! I am one, and it means I am liberated and guided by my human essence, my intelligence and my soul consciousness.

What do YOU think?
When we embark upon an activity called self-inquiry, we explore and reflect on these questions, leading us to our own insights and understandings.
Self-inquiry asks you to open up your mind and heart to become aware of your pre-existing attitude, mindset, beliefs and conditioning, and the multiple limitations programmed into us all by an anti-human school system and the sick society that spawned it.
We discover that we were disempowered, disconnected and dehumanised without even knowing it. This new awareness is the essential first step in our healing. We cannot possibly fix a problem we don’t know we have.
A SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION, which you undertake through an exciting and liberating adventure of guided self-inquiry, empowers you with the skills, self-knowledge and self-belief that the schools denied us. You become the real true you.
Now YOU create your own reality and live the life YOU want to live.
Now you take charge of (and responsibility for) your own life, health and destiny.
Now you live with purpose and passion, courage and curiosity, health and happiness.

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.

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.

Find your way to the top of the page and choose from my blog writing, weekly Letters to transform your life, and my Witness page, which is where I’m recording our times as history in the making. I also have lots of videos on my YouTube channel which are mostly spiritual or educational in nature, along with a few travel ones.
I began my own revolution in the mid-1990s after becoming aware of the monstrous crimes committed by human against human throughout the 20th century. I had to do something about the inner rages I felt when reading the books which described these terrible brutalities.
I spent thousands of hours during this decade (much of it while doing ‘hammock time’ on the veranda of my beachside bungalows on the tropical islands of southern Thailand) looking into the human condition, wondering how on earth we could produce so much beauty, yet so much brutality. I would grapple with the questions below in this revealing journey of doing inner work on myself.
One day a crucial insight came to me: my rages were doing nothing to stop these criminals holding political and corporate power, but were definitely hurting me. I was losing out twice. That was the proper beginning of my spiritual ascension.
I have spent many years distilling everything I have learned which led to my first book, eight years in the making, and the academy I have now set up to train and inspire adults to live spiritually in a far shorter period of time than it took me!
Just as the exquisite beauty of the lotus flower arises out of the mud so we humans can find freedom out of tyranny
Spend time in the slow lane and practise the art of letting go and bending with the wind (Chinese wisdom)
Go with the flow! Just keep on going, enjoying the scenery along the way, working your way around all obstacles
Give yourself regular time and space to reflect upon and learn from your own life experiences and happenings
