A Spiritual Revolution
Empowering Yourself Transforming Your Life Healing Humankind
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
~ Rumi
“The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.”
~ Robert Pirsig
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
~ Gandhi
“When you discover the joy of learning you discover the joy of living. When you master the skill of learning you master the skill of living.”
~ Philip Keay
Did you, perchance, want a life of health, harmony and happiness?
Would you like to change your world? Change the world?
A SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION is the revolution of the individual, by the individual, for the individual. We undertake this journey to unlearn and undo the harmful consequences of the school system’s anti-human anti-education, which has devastated the health and wellbeing of human hearts, minds and bodies everywhere.
It is a learning adventure into the heart of your inner world which society has kept hidden from us all since we were born. The society and the school system ‘externalise’ us, training and programming us to only see the world around us, and to remain ignorant of the inner landscape of our mind, body and soul work.
Yet, inside our body and mind is our constant address, our forever home.
A Spiritual Revolution is the most tremendous adventure a human being can ever undertake, because, in learning how to align yourself with your true nature, in reconnecting your inner world with the external world, you discover the real true you.
This is authentic liberation. It is like the thickest of morning fogs has suddenly cleared.
When one comes to reflect upon matters relating to a life of peace and happiness, meaning and purpose,, love and freedom (our birthright and deepest yearning), we will come to realise that A Spiritual Revolution is the ONLY solution to the emotional and psychological troubles that torment human beings everywhere, which has led humankind to the brink of its own self-destruction.
A Spiritual Revolution is a SECOND EDUCATION which delivers a radically new learning experience for the adult student. It inspires you to:
unblock your mind, unlock your heart and unleash your spirit
so that you may take yourself out of the world where stress, struggle and suffering is the norm, and firmly move yourself into the world of health, harmony and happiness.
Dear Friend, if you desire a better world for yourself, then you are fully qualified to achieve it. It now just needs your action to make it happen. I am Philip, and I am your navigator, guide and facilitator to help you make it happen. Conventionally speaking I am a ‘teacher’, but please note my choice of those three words: there is nothing I share or teach in my educational work that I have not done myself.
Might I make an early suggestion? When you find a needle in a haystack, realise it’s best to stop looking for another needle! Bookmark this page right now so that you can’t accidentally lose it. Then peruse it.
Better still, sign up to receive my weekly Letter, Unleash Your Spirit. I will in addition send you my Ebooklet:
“A Spiritual Revolution” which you can download and print out if you wish. It is a concise overview of why we need to undertake A Spiritual Revolution, and what we need to do to get all the benefits.
Aside from this valuable free content (full back catalogue here) you can buy my books, and/or enrol on my live learning courses to learn with me in small groups of like-minded souls. Classes are both online and in person in Chiang Mai. Full information is in the Academy tab in the menu bar at the top of the page.
Find out about me here, and see what students say about learning with me here. I also have my A Spiritual Revolution YouTube channel here. Big plans for the second half of 2025 to expand this channel.
This website is the primary resource bank for your essential second education, to learn how to:
empower and liberate yourself by getting out of your own way
align yourself with your true nature and be the real true you
transform the way you experience and engage with the world
be a confident communicator and build strong healthy relationships at work, home and play
become a lifelong learner on your own evolutionary path of personal development and spiritual growth
live with purpose, meaning, authenticity and self-belief
and so much more.
This second education is ‘essential’ because the first one we get is a catastrophe for our emotional, mental, social, and physical wellbeing. Just look all around you at our human world, and make an honest appraisal of your own world.
We are spiritually starved and crying out for connection…
Humanity is in chaos, on fire, on a path of self-destruction. We harm each other, we harm ourselves, and we harm our world, the very thing that birthed us and gives us all our life. We bite the hand that feeds us.
We do this, not because we are bad, but because humankind has, for a very long time, lived under the dark cloud of a GIGANTIC MISUNDERSTANDING: we are conditioned to believe that we are separate beings. But we are not. It is a devastating misperception, and is the root cause of all our conflicts and problems, our pain and suffering, and the feeling of being powerless to change things.
If we think of ourselves as architects of our own life, it turns out the school system gives us completely the wrong blueprint, leading us into creating a world where stress, conflict and myriad problems predominate.
This second education is to tear up this faulty blueprint and replace it with the proper blueprint, enabling us to move into a world of emotional stability, psychological wellbeing and spiritual connection. We reclaim
our birthright
our human essence
and our soul consciousness
by deprogramming ourselves from our conditioned ignorance. We do that by acquiring the essential skills, self-knowledge and self-belief that the schools suppressed from us.
It is our TOTAL TRANSFORMATION, a game-changing turnaround in how we experience life..
This learning journey you undertake to get your new blueprint so that you can empower yourself, transform your life, AND contribute to the healing of humankind, is A Spiritual Revolution.

“Today’s society is yesterday’s classroom, today’s classroom is tomorrow’s society.”
The educational paradigm we have all been taught under always had the answers, the facts, the being correct, the truths, the knowledge. We were taught the answers and expected to remember the answers in never-ending tests and exams. If we did have questions, we soon learned asking them carried a price not worth paying.
Accordingly we have been deeply conditioned to want answers in life, and often magic pills. The deeper psychological outcome—at a subconscious level which drives our automatic habits, actions and beliefs—is that we look to others for answers. Ours is a world built on the ‘Principle of External Authority Knows Best’. We are not autonomous, nor independent
Our very way of school education conditions us to being dependent and away from personal sovereignty. We comply with the external authority because we were disempowered from being able to make our own decisions.
The school system ‘education’ systematically and progressively hinders and stifles natural creativity, curiosity, fun, play and love of learning from children - it de-educates, disempowers, demoralises and dehumanises them. And then into adulthood…
Philip’s mission is to inspire and train parents, teachers, educators, leaders, world helpers, life coaches etc etc in adopting a heart-friendly, skills-focused, Task-Based Learning approach to education. His vision is to transform the human world by radically transforming the way we do education.
The mission has two stages:
Train adults
then the adults can train the children
“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 abilities. 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.”
~ from Philip’s book Menu For A Spiritual Revolution: Health Harmony & 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.

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.
