From The Illusion of Separation to A Spiritual Revolution
From unhappiness and self-destruction to harmony and self-growth
"The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists."
"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."
“It’s always darkest before the dawn.”
“Out of the ashes arose the phoenix.”
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—that negatively permeate all our human endeavours.
We therefore live with flawed (and often harmful, or 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 our world.
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, divided, and in deep turmoil. 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!
Our disempowerment runs deep 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.
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 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 remain ignorant of how the two are connected.
It can, therefore, be no surprise that our human world is on fire, and seemingly marching ever-faster towards its own self-destruction.
This dreadful cocktail of delusion, ignorance and arrogance is a total catastrophe for our health and wellbeing! We are living in a psychological and spiritual wasteland, which has led to a terrible level of physical illness and disease 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 yers ago Gautam Buddha warned specifically against self-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, and without course-correcting ourselves we are likely to bury ourselves in totalitarianism, or even threaten our continued existence.
Perhaps we have arrived at a T-Junction, a fork in the road: that path takes us to tyranny, this path takes us to a golden era. We each have a choice: shape up or ship out.
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 understand: since we live in this interconnected interdependent world of ours, each of us must put our hand up to be counted, not just for ourselves, but for the fate of humankind collectively. YOU count, and that is the illusion you have to bust.
Fix yourself = fixing the world
Fix the world = fixing yourself
They go hand in hand. You cannot choose one or the other.

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.
A SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION, which you undertake through an exciting and libearting 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.

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.

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!
The exquisite beauty of the lotus flower arises out of the mud: mud is useful!
Spend time in the slow lane and practise the art of letting go
Go with the flow! Just keep on going, enjoying the scenery along the way
Give yourself regular time and space to reflect upon and learn from your life
