“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi
The purpose for undertaking A Spiritual Revolution is not to change the world, it’s to change yourself to create the world you would like. Your greatest achievement is not to become someone, it is to BE YOU.
This will mean removing your society mask, which makes you get in your own way, disconnecting you from your roots and disempowering you
from cultivating your abundant talents and qualities.
IT’S NOW OR NEVER…
LIBERATE YOUR MIND AND SPIRIT!
EMPOWER YOURSELF! TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE!
NO MORE BLAME! NO MORE GUILT! NO MORE SHAME!
Thank you for your interest in arriving at this portion of the digital universe. The objective of this page is for you to determine if you would like to receive the prospectus and syllabus for A Spiritual Revolution: The Complete Course, with a view to enrolling as a student.
It is a 16-week, 16-lesson course for learning life-changing knowledge and developing your self-empowering skills, and is open to maximum of 12 students. The learning experience is interactive, skills-focused, student-centred and uplifting.
A central feature of the learning is you observing, experiencing first hand, and reflecting on, how group harmony is built and sustained.
It is impossible to come out of the course anything but a confident communicator and an attentive excellent listener. Your self-awareness, social interaction skills and self-belief will have skyrocketed.
The course will run from late August to early December 2025. The cost is £1200.
The value is for you to judge, but bear in mind you will be investing your time, energy and money in acquiring the fundamental skills, self-knowledge and self-belief you need to guide you through the rest of your life. Four months endeavour for a lifetime of reward…
Gandhi once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Well, this course inspires, facilitates and trains you to actually be this change, and you do it in the company of a small group of like-minded soul adventurers, also transforming their lives.
The focus is on developing your learning, social interaction and self-leadership skills, while learning how to feed and nourish your mind, body and soul, and how we can together build the new world that WE want to see. Pleasure comes from consuming, joy and happiness come from creating and giving. So, on this course we will all do plenty of both!
You probably never knew learning could be like this.
A Karmic Truth of Life
However… we need to understand a crucial, if unpalatable, truism right from the off:
YOU are the architect of your problems, conflicts and suffering. You are causing them through your reactions to other people, events, situations, happenings.
However, once you are able to see this ‘elephant in the room’, it becomes tremendously good news because it means so, too, are you the architect of your own solutions, and for building yourself a harmonious life of good health, fulfilment and much happiness.
Everything is UP TO YOU!
Live consciously with courage, confidence, compassion, creativity, curiosity, conviction.
You just have to make sure you are using the RIGHT BLUEPRINT and that you have built the RIGHT FOUNDATION to your life…
Finding your Harmony is your Liberation
Learn the skills and know-how of personal development and spiritual self-growth and you will empower yourself and transform your life by your own endeavours.
Not by being told what to do, not by being told how to do it, but by LEARNING AND DOING IT YOURSELF.
(This is the complete opposite of school ‘learning’.)
~~~~~
When you take charge of your own life, health and destiny like this, the sky is your limit, the world your oyster and the universe your boundary. No longer will you be getting in your own way. You won’t any more be dragged down by society, you’ll be building a much better one.
Life takes on an entirely different hue as a creator, and it’s colourful, sparkling and fulfilling!
~~~~~
Becoming responsible for our own health and wellness is what our business is round these parts, and we do it through the process of ALIGNING OURSELVES WITH OUR TRUE NATURE.
Finding your harmony—your resonance, your sweet vibration, your holistic wellbeing—is your true everlasting liberation from the enslavement of unsolvable, and usually recurring problems, that can bring us so much unnecessary misery and suffering.
To get to your harmony, you undertake a journey of self-inquiry, which leads to your self-discovery + self-knowledge + self-awareness which leads to your self-empowerment + self-belief + self-growth.
It is a tremendous adventure into the inner world of your own being, exploring your mind, body and soul consciousness, and I call it A Spiritual Revolution.
Notice how the whole emphasis is on your SELF. Know your self and the whole world changes.
Building a Solid Foundation
You just need to learn TWO key things, that’s all. And then you achieve your harmony and your soul liberation.
Two things, however, that the schools never taught us, and still today they continue to fail humanity.
Learning these two things builds you an earthquake-proof foundation for your life. Without them, it’s a foundation laid in quicksand.
You need to learn
the skill of learning
how to intelligently feed and nourish your mind, body and soul consciousness.
In becoming a skilled learner, you necessarily master your communication and social interaction skills. In learning how to take care of yourself, you automatically learn how to take care of others, and of Mother Earth. And self-belief and self-confidence come to you like bees to nectar.
You become the intelligent social creature you were born to be.
A fantastic foundation, I feel sure you will agree!
Not hard to learn, for it’s in your human DNA—in fact, it’s a tremendously exciting learning journey—but certainly you will need initial guidance and inspiration from somebody who has done it themselves, thanks to the disempowering, demoralising and dehumanising anti-education schooling that about 99% of us got.
~~~~~
Further down you’ll find out a little about me, Philip Keay, my non-conventional approach to education, and why it should be that I am the one able to help you become the master of your own life and destiny.
Hint: my work as a different kind of educator is inspiring, training and empowering adult students to become autonomous learners and skilled confident communicators. Throughout the course you continuously build up your Toolkit for Lifelong Learning and Conscious Living, which is your essential take-away after the course is finished.
~~~~~
Question for you to ponder on: If you are a skilled learner of learning, and a self-confident communicator, in what tangible ways do you think your life at work, home and play will change?
Forget the Magic Pill, get the Master Key
Does this describe your life:
too many challenges, problems and conflicts, often sapping your energy and vitality?
feeling a sort of ‘disconnect’ that’s hard to put into words?
self-doubt and self-consciousness get in your way?
feeling powerless about the declining health and wellbeing of our troubled human world?
never really able to escape ‘the matrix’, whatever you try?
Well, enough of all that depressing stuff. ENOUGH!
Fix it all. No more despondency, no more despair, no more disempowerment… FIX IT ALL!
Once and for all.
Become the confident, loving, powerful, talented beautiful human being that is your birthright. It’s now or never!
~~~~~
But first you got to stop looking for or relying upon magic pills, silver bullets, white knights, gurus, prophets, miracle cures and all those external ‘solutions’.
They are a false illusion, and in our gut we all know it… seductive, yes, but never transformational for us. The quick fix is never a true fix.
Unless or until you are prepared to do the learning work yourself, you are stuck with this enticing, yet false, answer to that which brings you pain and suffering.
You need the MASTER KEY for your own life:
the one that UNLOCKS your heart, your mind, your soul consciousness, your inner beauty, your innate intelligence and your tremendous power to do good things in our world
the one that ENABLES you to fearlessly express your unique talents, qualities and individuality
and the one which EMPOWERS YOU to take charge of YOUR OWN life, health and destiny.
You also need the right BLUEPRINT
Your schooling gave you the wrong blueprint. Hence we create problems that we cannot solve or prevent.
These woeful, anti-social school systems have led us all to the psychological and spiritual wastelands that have been a catastrophe for humankind.
They give us a nurture that antagonises and stresses our nature, instead of complementing and cultivating it.
INNER CONFLICT AND DISEMPOWERMENT HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED INTO YOU.
We’ve been living without the skills, self-knowledge and self-belief that we need to make our life one that we are proud of, a life that FEELS GOOD:
one where we can solve our own challenges and prevent problems
one where we can live with purpose, good health and gratitude
and one where our relationships are not on the rocks, but healthy, strong and successful.
~~~~~
So-called experts got our human world into the immense trouble it is in today, so forget about them when it comes to solutions.
YOU are the solution.
You just need the right blueprint and your own master key.
That’s where I come in, and that’s where my - dare I say it myself - uniquely transformational teaching methodology comes in.
We only get the one life: there are no second goes, no dress rehearsals, no dummy runs…
Just imagine for a minute how your life at work, home and play will feel when you can answer ‘Yes’ 10 times…
Are you motivated to upgrade and transform your life?
Are you a skilled lifelong learner?
Are you living in alignment with your true nature?
Do you understand how your mind works?
Do you live with enthusiasm and authenticity?
Are you pursuing your life’s purpose?
Are you a confident articulate communicator?
Are you an attentive interactive listener?
Do you carry yourself with self-respect and self-belief?
Are you in charge of your life, health and destiny?
That most human beings are likely to only truly be able to answer ‘Yes’ to just one of the questions is the sad and devastating consequence of a major fault line in our human world. We will address this below.
Indeed, our world is in chaos, on fire, marching towards self-destruction. School education got us into this mess, and only a radically different kind of education can get us out of it.
So, how to change your life so that you get 10 ‘yes’ answers? To point the way, we will look at two different worlds that we simultaneously find ourselves living in.
But first, a few words on CHANGE. When we resist change we become stuck and fearful, when we embrace change we do so with a liberated mind and spirit.
“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
“If you ignore the excellence of your own house, how can you aspire to find excellence elsewhere? Within you is hidden the treasure of treasures.”
~ The Oracle of Delphi
How do you get this treasure?
Change your mindset and attitude >>
Change your thinking and perspective >>
Change your relationship with the world >>
Change your world, change the world >>
It’s a game changer, it’s beautiful >>
It’s A SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION
“We are not aware of our conditioning, and until we are, we can only produce further conflict and confusion.”
~ Krishnamurti
“Only a mind and a heart broken up in fragments creates problems.”
~ Krishnamurti
“If we are to bring about a true revolution in human relationship, which is
the basis of all society, there must be a fundamental change in our
own values and outlook.”
~ Krishnamurti
The Emerging World of Health Harmony & Happiness
(built on connection and intelligence)
The big evolutionary message of our times—momentous times of turbulent transition—has become clear to keen observers and true spiritual beings.
And even more starkly since the crime of 2020 was unleashed upon all of us.
The essential lesson for each human being to learn for themselves is this:
If you wish to enjoy health and wellbeing, harmonious relationships, and an authentic life of purpose, meaning and reward, you cannot just be looking out for yourself; you must ALSO be working for the greater good of all humankind. This is non-negotiable.
Why? How so?
The two—you and the rest of the world—are mutually interrelated and interdependent, for we are all interconnected with each other and with the whole web of life… if you and I are sailing in a boat, and one of us sinks it, we both go down.
If, in looking out for myself, I harm you or our planet in the process, then I am harming myself too. If I am intelligently and spiritually working for my own health and wellbeing,, it means I am automatically doing the same for all of life.
The parts are the parts, but always they belong to the whole.
According to karmic law and universal intelligence, it cannot be any other way.
Yet, this is not the way that materialistic modern man lives, not at all… which is why we are starved of spiritual nourishment and stuffed with emotional pain >>>
Buddhist wisdom from a monastery in northern Thailand. And in the same way: to respect, trust and love yourself is to respect, trust and love others. It’s all energy flow, and when we understand this, we find liberation from conflict and confusion.
The World of Stress Struggle & Suffering
(built on separation and ignorance)
Poor old humanity!
Trials troubles and tribulations everywhere!
Much pain and suffering!
Much stress and strife!
Woe is all of us!
But why all this chaos and misery?
If we can find the root cause we find the solution.
Then we can build the new world by moving ourselves out of this rotten one.
A Gigantic Misunderstanding
We have all been conditioned by society and the school system to accept a gigantic misunderstanding as the basis of our existence.
This misunderstanding, subconsciously held in our psyche, tells us that
WE ARE ALL SEPARATE BEINGS.
We take as a reality, as a truth, that we are
separate from each other
separate from the world that birthed us
separate from our natural roots
and even that our mind and body are separate entities.
In the process of fooling itself, humankind separated science and religion, matter and energy, cause and effect, and split the past and future from the present moment.
YET… the true reality and incorruptible law of nature, of the divine cosmos, of God, of the web of life, of the whole galactic caboodle of cosmic consciousness, states that:
all organic life and inorganic matter is interconnected and interdependent
we humans are an integral part of the world, not apart from it
the parts and the whole are of the same stuff, not separate, all conjoined by the flow of energy; and it is the flow of energy which IS life.
Worse yet, as a species, we decided we were more powerful, more intelligent and more important than the natural order of things and the rest of planetary life. We usurped God and universal intelligence. This is a terrible arrogance borne from ignorance.
Falsely separating ourselves from each other and the rest of the world like this pits us against nature’s laws of connectivity and wholeness, thereby putting us into a state of almost perpetual stress and inner conflict.
No wonder our human world is on fire! No wonder we feel disconnected and powerless to stop our impending train wreck.
We live in delusion and ignorance of who we really are.
But our disempowerment runs even deeper: not only do we not know who we are, we don’t even know that we don’t know.
As a social creature this ignorance is devastating for our psychological and spiritual wellbeing, leading to unhappy minds and lonely hearts, which then lead us to sickness and disease. We poison ourselves, we poison the world.
This deep misunderstanding of who we are and how life works is the ROOT CAUSE of all our troubles. But the bitter pill to swallow, as we said at the start of this page, is that we are the architects of our own troubled lives, our conflicts, our rocky relationships.
But hold off with the blame, guilt or shame!
There’s nothing wrong with human NATURE, there’s nothing wrong with you or me; it’s the NURTURE that’s gone wrong. We were all given the wrong blueprint for life. We got this faulty anti-health blueprint from our schooling.
The school systems taught us the wrong blueprint because they in turn got it from the gigantic misunderstanding of separation that masquerades as truth and knowledge.
If we could just get hold of the right blueprint for life, then as architects of our own life we can create and build for ourselves a strong foundation to educate and empower ourselves to move into…
