Embarking upon a journey of self-inquiry into the treasure-filled, but hitherto suppressed, landscape of your inner world, to make all the above a reality
”Today’s world is yesterday’s classroom, today’s classroom is tomorrow’s world.”

~ Robert Pirsig
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
~ Mahatma 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
This 16-week 16-lesson LIVE online course of transformational learning is a second, holistic, education open to all adults who want to make a better life for themselves and who want to help fix our struggling suffering human world(it must be both)
It is, however, especially life-changing for parents, educators, leaders, life coaches, world helpers, entrepreneurs, healers etc etc who will benefit from mastering the communication skills, motivational qualities and self-belief needed by those who desire to be transformational leaders who inspire and empower others by their own example.
The reason we all need a second education is that yesterday’s classroom (the one we were in) stifled our psychological and spiritual development, and today’s classroom is even worse.
When did you last invest in your own education? In your own growth and evolution? In your own health and happiness?
How about investing four months of your time, energy and money in revolutionising your life… for a lifetime of rewards?
know yourself express yourself trust yourself respect yourself care for yourself forgive yourself feel gratitude create build produce learn reflect grow adapt change evolve observe listen read books share give contribute love life serve the greater good allow yourself to be loved open your heart wide follow your heart never comply with tyranny
A Welcome Letter
Dear Friend
I am Philip Keay, a non-conventional educator, university teacher trainer, writer, lifelong learner and soul adventurer, and I thank you for coming to my small corner of the digital world. A small corner, perhaps, but one which offers no small impact.
In fact, the impact is life-changing.
Our human family live in troubling times of turbulent transition, and the major reason for this is a rotten school system which gave all of us a nurture that antagonises and suppresses our nature, instead of complementing and cultivating it.
It’s been doing this for multiple generations (“I never let my schooling interfere with my education”, said Mark Twain in the 1800s), and continues today.
It is as if we are Mother Eagle clipping the wings of Baby Eagle, and then saying “Fly Baby, fly.” An eagle needs its wings, we humans need our intelligence. Yet, the school system perverts and suppresses it. It has clipped our human wings.
The only way out of this mess is for adults to get themselves a second, holistic, education to unlearn and undo all the damage done to us by our first one. No more shall we suppress our innate intelligence, now we choose to cultivate it and EXPRESS it!
The holistic education I offer not only inspires and empowers you to transform your own life, it gives you the skills, know-how, motivation and self-belief to inspire and empower others to transform their lives in kind.
I call it A Spiritual Revolution. It’s a revolution in how we do learning and education. It is the only solution for the healing of humankind. And we certainly need healing.
A Spiritual Revolution is you learning the Art of Self-Leadership. Self-leaders make inspiring leaders of others; respected, trusted and valued because they learned how to do it all themselves first and are seen to be leading by example.
I wrote my book on it, Menu for A Spiritual Revolution: Health Harmony & Happiness, then I spent quite some time building The Self-Empowerment Academy, and now I’m ready to teach the whole book live and online to small groups of students who wish to make our world a better place, realising this means first doing as Mahatma Gandhi and Robert Pirsig wisely advised: changing your own inner world.
The Complete Course in Self-Empowerment, Holistic Health & A Spiritual Revolution is a one of a kind course of learning for many reasons, but here are three:
I don’t bring you the answers to good living, I bring you pertinent questions for you to find your own answers in collaboration with a small group of like-minded souls; in other words, I don’t teach, I facilitate, inspire and enable you to learn
you open up your mind, you change your mindset, you learn all about your mind, and you practise and mastering multiple cognitive and communication skills with it
my teaching method is Task-Based Learning,, which means learning by doing, exploring, questioning, thinking, reflecting, discussing, reading, researching, listening, observing, and it means lots of small group work, collaboration, and social interaction.
The Prospectus and Course Content discusses in full detail the unique features of this course, its rationale, the learning objectives, what you will learn, how you will learn it, who you will learn from, and the benefits you can expect to accrue from being a student.
However, right here I’ll share with you the #1 benefit any human being can acquire for themselves:
you explore, discover and become the real true you (hitherto hidden by society), empowering you to align yourself with your true and unique nature: when you understand your SELF you understand the world, and it is now your oyster.
Please realise that this is no ordinary course or ‘product’, after all, its objective is your very transformation of a life-changing order, and so this page cannot fit into any soundbite or TikTok video! So make a pot of tea and be sitting comfortably without distractions!
However, you will find the form to send off for the Prospectus and Course Content repeated a couple of times, so you can read as much or as little as you need to read, to determine if you think you want to be on the course.
Hope to see you taking part in my education and learning revolution to transform yourself and co-create a better world for all of us.
Philip
PS Towards the bottom of this page you can read a selection of feedback from a similar, but much shorter course I delivered in 2024 to about 250 leaders. Here is a sampler:
“This course was incredible! I gained a multitude of insights and understanding. Insight into myself and the world as a whole, insights and understanding about sovereign leadership, the role and purpose of the leader, and the process and framework of an event. I gained lots more awareness about myself as a human being and how I can contribute to humanity as a whole in a positive and supportive way. This course gave my life's purpose more depth, clarity, motivation, curiosity, humbleness, excitement, and direction.”
unblock your mind unlock your heart unleash your spirit be socially self-assured live consciously with curiosity creativity and courage learn the art of self-leadership activate your inner authority cultivate your human essence elevate your soul consciousness nourish your mind and body be in control of your FATE (feelings actions thoughts emotions)
What’s all this about?
“It should be a determination in every intelligent being that we are not going to allow any vested interest to destroy this planet. To save man is to save the greatest creation of the universe. It has taken four million years for this earth to create man. It is so precious. And the future is much more valuable.”
~ Osho
This course is all about changing your life for the better AND proactively contributing to the healing of humankind.
The course instructor, course content and your classmates will inspire you to learn and master the skills, self-knowledge and self-belief you need to:
educate and empower yourself
transform your life and relationships
contribute to building a better world for all.
Why do I need to do make these changes?
Because we have all been disempowered, disconnected and dehumanised.
Because humanity is on the march towards its own self-destruction.
Because tyranny is a desecration of the human being.
[coping, pretending all is okay, harmful habits, addictions, self-doubt, negative self-talk, unworthy, seeking validation, apathy, feeling powerless to change, complying with tyranny, conforming, human harming human, blame game, guilt and shame, resentment, hatred, anger, despair, anxiety, fear, unhappiness, loneliness, intolerance, socially awkward, resist change, poor listening, self-censorship]
Because we want peace, love and freedom.
We want our human essence back.
How have we been disempowered?
Two reasons (root causes):
1. By a miserable anti-social, anti-human, anti-education, double F grade school system:
suppressed: developing our learning, communication and social interaction skills
blocked: learning the workings of our mind, body, soul, and the web of life
crushed: our innate curiosity, creativity, confidence and courage
promoted: self-doubt, ignorance of self, blame guilt and shame
outcome: struggling health, conflict in our relationships
2. This rotten school system has arisen because humankind suffers from the ‘illusion of separation’, an understanding that goes directly against the karmic law of nature and of all life here on Mother Earth.
While everything in our world is interconnected, we have been conditioned to believe that we are separate from each other. Our mind, our psyche, tells us we are separate beings, and therefore we feel disconnected - disconnected from our roots, from each other, from our own unique self, from the past, from the future, and from our core humanity.
It is a gigantic misperception that colours everything else.
It is a wrong understanding that has devastated our psychological and spiritual development and wellbeing:
we don’t know who we are
we don’t know how the web of life works
we lack ability in the learning and social interaction skills
our innate intelligence, inner beauty, and human essence have been buried
we live in a state of almost perpetual inner conflict and stress
hence so much anger, hatred, resentment, cruelty
unhappiness, loneliness and despair
Now THAT is a total disaster in anybody’s book.
Enough is enough!!
No more of this crazy nonsense!!
It’s time to arise and build a new humanity!!
Are you game?
Are YOU ready to do as Osho bid us?
Living spiritually is the answer.
And that means you need A Spiritual Revolution.
What is A Spiritual Revolution? Why do it?
A Spiritual Revolution is a 5-step healing journey of changing yourself from the schooled-you into the true you, and integrating the practice of perpetual personal development and spiritual self-growth into your life.
It is your liberation, not by getting out of the matrix, but by getting the matrix out of you.
A Spiritual Revolution is a self-empowering exploration into the treasure-filled inner world of your mind, body and soul consciousness to discover and become the real true you, to learn how the whole web of life works, to align yourself with your true nature, and to live intelligently in harmony with others and with Mother Earth.
It is a revolution of you, by you for you
and the universe will love you for it.
So will you love you for it!
Here is how you can become a spiritual revolutionary
It starts right now with you overruling the disempowering voice programmed into us all…
you consciously commit to empowering yourself and transforming your life, health, destiny and relationships >>>

you are a true leader of our world, an ambassador for humanity, a spiritual revolutionary and warrior.
Job done.
What is spirituality?
It is not organised religion. It is not gurus or experts telling you how to live. It is not fluffy woo-woo stuff. And it’s not leaving everything to God, or any other kind of external saviour, to fix.
It is you putting your hand up to take responsibility for your own wellbeing and the wellbeing of all life on Mother Earth.
Spiritual human beings are not a passive powerless spectators watching transfixed as our human world crumbles, they are proactive players leading themselves and everybody else into a beautiful new world.
Spiritual living is living intelligently, authentically, proactively in alignment with your true nature. You respect and care for yourself, and you respect and care for all of life.
Buddhist wisdom from a monastery in northern Thailand
The truism contained in this sign gives us a deep insight into the ways of human life. People engage in such harmful actions while under the cloud of the illusion of separation.
By the same token, to respect yourself, care for yourself, to build yourself up, is to respect others, care for others, build others up… and open up your own path to prosperity.
It works like this because life is the flow of energy, and all your feelings and thoughts are energy on the move. If you hate somebody, you are holding the energy of hatred within yourself. If you feel compassion for somebody, you are holding the energy of compassion in yourself. We explore and discuss all this during the course.
When we deeply understand this karmic principle of life, we take a giant step towards reconnecting with our innate spirituality, hidden from us by a faulty nurture.

Cost: £1250 (excluding course book)
Value: like beauty, this is in the eye of the beholder: get the prospectus to decide!
It is a five-step learning journey of self-inquiry and self-leadership during which you build a firm five-pillar foundation to your life, enabling you to weather all storms and to thrive in the calmer times.
A synergetic mix of skills, knowledge and self-belief
In this course you will learn about the human condition, human behaviour and human potential. There is nothing more important for us to understand than who we are.
Observe others and learn about yourself, observe yourself and learn about others
We learn about ourselves by exploring and understanding the bigger picture of humankind, and we learn about the bigger picture of humankind by exploring and understanding our own mind, body and soul consciousness.
You learn who we are, how we came to be this way, what our true potential is, and you begin manifesting it. You learn the interconnected and interdependent nature of all life on Mother Earth. It is holistic education.
As we explore a whole range of topics, issues, concepts, processes that constitute human life, you will be continuously practising and mastering a whole range of learning and communication skills. This in turn engenders in you increasing levels of self-belief, self-confidence and self-worth.
In an important parallel learning experience during the whole course, you observe, partake in and reflect upon the successful building of a close-knit community who work, collaborate and grow together in a learning environment that all adults find emotionally supportive, cognitively inspiring and spiritually uplifting.
This is holistic education: utilising and developing your mind, heart and soul!
Now you have the practical experience and know-how to build similar communities back in your real life environment. In this way you become a valuable leader for the world that humans must build.
If not, we all collapse into tyranny together!
The 5-Step Journey of A Spiritual Revolution
#1 Situation Analysis: ‘Elephant in the room’
Recognising and accepting we are the architects of our own problems and suffering, but with the good news that we are not to blame - we were given the wrong blueprint for life.
#2 Needs Analysis
Asking ourselves what our desires dreams and aspirations are i) for our own life, and ii) for the human world. It must be both. We become aware of what kind of world we all want.
#3 Mindset Reset
Our mindset determines the world that we experience, and the actions and behaviour we express back out into the world. Consciously choosing a new mindset that supports your wellbeing and promotes your self-growth and evolution, is a crucial part of the course.
(New Year’s resolutions are always over by February 1st because there was no prior change in mindset, meaning the subconscious mind continues to thwart one’s evolutionary growth.)
#4 Building the Five Pillars
This is the learning journey to create a new blueprint for your life, and to acquire the skills, self-knowledge and self-belief that is the engine of our empowerment. This enables us to:
take charge of our own life, health and destiny
to proactively influence and create the environment we want to work, live and play in
to build strong healthy relationships, to set up and lead communities.
#5 Lifelong Learner’s Toolkit for Spiritual Self-Growth and Evolution
This is what you build during the course and take away at the end. Now you have all the tools you need to stay accountable to yourself, to grow and evolve into your life’s journey, and to help others to empower themselves.
You are an independent learner and a sovereign human being.
The 5 Pillars of A Spiritual Revolution
Our life as a human is being, doing, having, feeling and thinking. When we have the fundamental skills, knowledge and self-belief we need, we have the strongest possible foundation to build our life upon, to live with purpose and meaning, to rise to all challenges, to enjoy life, to use our tremendous power and talent to do good things for our world, and to feel fuilfilled.
With this foundation the sky will be your limit, the world your oyster, and the universe your boundary.
Get building, why don’t you! Here they are:
master the learning skill (the Mother of all skills)
master your communication skills (the Father of all skills)
master the art of self-leadership (autonomy and sovereignty)
develop self-awareness and self-knowledge (of mind, body, soul and the world)
develop self-belief and self-worth (goodbye self-doubt and negative self-talk)
This is everything that the school system denied us. Without this foundation, any old storm will batter us, never mind a 2020 typhoon of devastation.
With it, you are earthquake-proof.
Why is our human world struggling so badly?
“Today’s world is yesterday’s classroom, today’s classroom is tomorrow’s world.”
~ Philip Keay
“I never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
~ Mark Twain (1800s)
“The difficulty with most of us is that we have forgotten how to play in the sense of partaking, sharing and discovering for ourselves. We are accustomed to being told what to do, what to think and what the right action is.”
~ J Krishnamurti
“This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.”
~ John F Kennedy
“Unfortunately our daily exposure, both in our personal lives, and through the media, to the great dramas, tragedies, and comedies that characterise our civilisation, ultimately leads to a gradual desensitisation. This results in both a passive tolerance and a sense of discouragement about the prospects for positive change.”
~ Samael Aun Wor
“If we are able to quiet the cravings within us, we see that our true desire is not wealth or fame but happiness. Because we want happiness, we search for power outside of ourselves. But as long as we seek power and happiness in fame, money and sex, we will not find it. Only by coming back to ourselves and purifying our minds can we experience true, lasting happiness and the kind of power that can’t be corrupted.
We should train ourselves to see happiness in terms of peace, freedom and compassion, not the size of our bank accounts. These are tremendous sources of power we can cultivate in our daily lives.
Our minds can be intoxicated by three kinds of poison: the first is craving, the second is hate or violence, and the third is delusion. To purify your mind is to neutralize and transform these poisons within you. You neutralize these poisons with the three wisdoms, the energies of mindfulness, concentration and insight.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh, in The Art of Power
“Only by us individual citizens doing inner work on ourselves can we begin to turn things around at the global level for our whole human family and Mother Earth alike. It makes the impossible possible. Nobody can change the world, but they can change their world, and ultimately speaking that will change the world.”
~ Philip Keay (p15 in his book)
An anti-social anti-human schooling
Imagine, if you will, Mother Eagle clipping Baby Eagle’s wings. Baby, unable to fly, will barely be an eagle. Perhaps this symbolises our human world…
School systems everywhere fail humankind by moulding and pushing us all into a tiny society box of uniformity, conformity and compliance. A whole wide world and universe out there, and humankind limits itself to a lousy cramped box.
This is a devastating denial and suppression of our human nature, essence and spirit.
This box (aka the ‘matrix’) gives us little room to develop and express our innate talents, intelligence, qualities, inner beauty, human essence and soul consciousness.
Our schooling systematically disconnected us from our roots and each other, disempowered us from getting out of the box if we happen to discover it, and dehumanised us by crushing our curiosity, creativity, courage and confidence to be the human we were born to be. We are a social creature given an anti-social nurture.
We have created a psychological and spiritual wasteland, with unwell minds and hearts .
We are Baby Eagle. We have been clipped.
Enough! No more of this self-destructive nonsense!
The insane collective meltdown of 2020 should have shaken everybody awake. But it’s useless being awake in an insane world. All individual human beings must rise to the challenge to rescue our own world. It is WE who must build a better world. Today, not tomorrow. Tomorrow may be too late.
It’s time for us to get out of the box, get out of the matrix, and transform and liberate ourselves. We do this through the power of holistic education. But here’s an essential understanding to imbibe:
changing yourself for the better means changing the world for the better, and if you want to change the world to be a better world, you have to change your own world. The two always go together.
The only solution for our life-changing transformation and the healing of humankind is A Spiritual Revolution. This is the journey we undertake to learn how to do as Gandhi and Pirsig bid us to do.
A Spiritual Revolution
The purpose of A Spiritual Revolution is to learn how to educate and empower yourself with the skills, self-knowledge and self-belief you need to transform your life, health, relationships and destiny, and to develop your ability to proactively shape and enhance the environment around you at work, home and play.
The wider purpose of A Spiritual Revolution is to transform and heal humankind through the power of holistic education. A Spiritual Revolution is going to radically change the way we do education.
What students say about their learning experience with Philip
In the summer of 2024, I was invited to teach a 4-session online course (using the Zoom platform) in Facilitation Skills Training and Self-Growth for about 250 leaders of Connecting Consciousness, a global spiritual community with tens of thousands of members in over 100 countries.
My brief was to enhance their leadership abilities with empowering skills and know-how to deliver more motivating and interactive meetings for group members.
The content for those four sessions will be a foundational part of The Complete Course of Self-Empowerment, Holistic Health & A Spiritual Revolution. Should you enrol on this course, you will get 4x the power of the Connecting Consciousness course!
Here is some of the feedback from these leaders. The course was received very well indeed, and you can see the full selection of feedback by clicking here or navigating to the Testimonials tab in the Menu bar at the top of this page.
Additionally you will see plenty of feedback from my teacher students at Payap University in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the session and loved your talks. They were absolutely packed with valuable information for our leaders on how to be the best facilitators they can be.”
(Co-Leader of Connecting Consciousness)
“More time with Philip, he is so professional, and love his servant spirit. I want to be more like him, and really enjoy his delivery.”
“Much gratitude for facilitating the new paradigm shift for mankind.”
“Thank You Philip … the info you shared felt like psychology on steroids.”
“Philip at this point it's hard to improve on what I see as perfection. The whole point of this session is to build one's Inner Authority and you are doing that. As time goes by we will build ourselves to grow and put forward our style to empower and guide others so they can grow and flourish.”
“Loved your sessions very much - thank you Philip 💖”
“Philip, Thank you so much for your time, dedication, love, and wonderful training session. Many blessings from Washington, USA.”
“Thank you Philip for imparting your wisdom, experience and knowledge to support us being better facilitators!!”
“Thank you Philip for your excellent course for all of us and for sharing your expertise and ebook. You are very much appreciated!”
“This course was incredible! I gained a multitude of insights and understanding. Insight into myself and the world as a whole, insights and understanding about sovereign leadership, the role and purpose of the leader, and the process and framework of an event. I gained lots more awareness about myself as a human being and how I can contribute to humanity as a whole in a positive and supportive way. This course gave my life's purpose more depth, clarity, motivation, curiosity, humbleness, excitement, and direction.”
“To facilitate to so many cultures is challenging and you did a fantastic job Philip. Thank you.”
“You rock Philip 😎💥😘”
“I think this should be in elementary schools training - the world would be a better place for all.”
“This was wonderful! I realized what happened to me through my life and why I am the way I am.”
“Thank you so much! Very informative and interesting not to mention transformative!!!! Thank you Philip!”
“The course has changed my perspective of myself and the world because of it. This course gave me a unique and new experience, it helped me observe myself in a new light and is guiding me with my own inner work. I discovered my resistance that was standing in the way of becoming a good listener and how to change that.”
“Philip's sessions should become a permanent and repetitive fixture/feature of the [leaders’] Learning tool box. There is nothing to improve we just need more of Philip so much so that it becomes absorbed into our corporate culture.”
“Excellent session!!! Very motivating and alive! Fun and engaging!”
The Art of Self-Leadership
If you want to continue in the rotten society’s blame game of guilt and shame, or you want to stay in your discomfort zone and continue watching transfixed as our self-destructive human family marches towards its own psychological and spiritual oblivion, then you’ve strayed into wrong territory and need not read on.
If, on the other hand, you would like to:
i) empower yourself and transform the way you engage with the world around you,
ii) comprehensively upgrade and enhance your experience of life, and
iii) be one of the builders of a tremendous new human world,
then you have found yourself in just the right place and should keep reading.
How would you like to learn and master the SKILLS, SELF-KNOWLEDGE and SELF-BELIEF that enables, empowers and inspires you to take charge of, and manage, your own life, health and destiny?
How would you like to discover the real true you and align yourself with your true nature, so that you can develop strong healthy relationships, build and lead dynamic communities, and proactively contribute to shaping the new better world that our human family so desperately needs to build?
How would you like to become your best self in next to no time, and to gain the skills and intrinsic motivation to continuously grow, adapt, change, and evolve as the unique human being the universe explicitly invited you here to be?
Then learn the ‘Art of Self-Leadership’.

Course Information
“If you want a better world, if you want a better tomorrow, then you have to create and build a better world and a better tomorrow TODAY, for tomorrow is forever one day out of your reach.” ~ Philip Keay
It is a 16-week, 80-hour course of learning which runs from
13 September 2025 to 10 January 2026
There is a break for Christmas during which you will work on your Lifelong Learner’s Handbook to present to your peers in class.
Lessons are 2.5 hours and held online on Saturdays, using the Zoom platform for our classroom. Anticipate about 2.5 hours self-study and homework tasks, meaning you need to invest about 5 hours of learning time each week for the duration of the course. You will need a computer.
There is room for a maximum of 12 students
This is because learning how to take part in, build and lead successful communities with a strong group dynamic, is an integral part of the course; it needs to be a first-hand learning experience.
The cost is £1250 (excluding the course book)
As ever, the value is in the eye of the beholder, but do bear in mind you will be investing four months of time, energy and money for a lifetime of rewards.
If you think the price is low, and find yourself questioning the quality of the instruction, don’t! Take it while you can, because it won’t be this price again (pioneers take risks, and deserve rewards).
Your instructor is Philip Keay, whose mission is to transform the way the schools do education. Human beings need a holistic self-empowering education. A full range of student feedback is here.
You will be learning from Menu for A Spiritual Revolution: Health Harmony & Happiness, Philip’s first published book, and from a range of stimulating supplementary books and videos by various masters of our human world, taken from Philip’s bank of cutting edge learning resources.
Hear from Philip giving a brief summary of the course.

“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
A Karmic Truth of Life
We need to understand a crucial, if unpalatable, truism that is never discussed in society, indeed, this is ‘the elephant in the room’:
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.
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.
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…
