What is the role of mentors, gurus, role models, soul rebels, and heroes in our human world? Who are they, and how do they do their work? Can you be one?

Understanding is liberating. Understanding gives you personal possession of knowledge and information. You can’t just receive it like knowledge, you’ve got to proactively engage your mind with it, play with it, apply it, verify it, learn more about it, talk about it, ask questions etc etc.

Just imagine, for a moment, that such a thing exists as a £1,000,000 bank note… and imagine further that you are in possession of this bank note. Why, you have a million pounds to spend, how good is that! What will you do with it?

You can avoid talking about politics, you can try to ignore the whole thing, but politics will NEVER avoid you and will NEVER leave you alone. So, either you claim your vested interest, or your interests will be sorted out for you by others, which is most unlikely to end up well (2020 anyone?).

We must all become leaders of self. Then we can help children and our fellow adults educate and empower themselves in kind. In this way a grassroots, organically-driven bottom-up movement becomes an unstoppable energy force, transforming our human world into…

Using karma intelligently means realising that life is simply energy and the flow of energy, and that while we cannot undo events, situations or happenings that come our way, we CAN choose how to respond to them.

A Spiritual Revolution is an empowering and exciting journey of self-inquiry into the inner world of your heart and mind to discover the real true you, and in so doing, how life works. With this newfound understanding you now consciously cultivate…

Those who have good communication skills will have the strongest and healthiest relationships with all other human beings, whether they are strangers or people we know; furthermore, skilled communicators lead more harmonious and less stressed lives.

Humankind, somewhere in our history, created its organising principle for its communities and societies as External-Authority-Knows-Best, whereby we outsource our decision-making to an authority outside of ourselves. This is antithetical to the human spirit and it hides our infinite human potential from us…

… so we need a learning environment where everybody feels emotionally supported, and in this psychological climate we are able to open our hearts and minds and express ourselves. When you express yourself and your ideas, you ARE yourself.

Do you really want to continue living the way you are? Do you really want to continue holding out hope that life—your life, the lives of your loved ones, the life of humankind, and the life of our planet—will somehow become better, without doing anything yourself to make it better?

I want to say that from my perspective there is so much 'spiritual guff', or 'spiritual woo-woo stuff', out there, which is so misleading for ordinary human beings who are looking…

Ignorance really is not conducive to health and wellbeing, certainly not in our troubled times. If we are not confident of who we are, and how life works, then we will allow others—who themselves don’t know who they are, nor how life works—to negatively impact on our life.
