Have you ever thought that, really, the guru on a white horse you are looking for can only be YOU?

You can survive to live another day
or…
You can thrive* to love another day

Which one describes your life?

[*We mean thriving emotionally, psychologically, socially, and spiritually]

Here’s the conundrum you face (we all do)

By your very birthright as a human being, you are talented, creative, intelligent, peace-loving, social, radiant-born, and holding your own unique gift to share with the world.

But an anti-human school system—and the society that spawned it—spent years dimming that light until most of us forgot it was ever there.

The system, aka the matrix, did a real hit job on all of us: it limited us, and worse, it made us think this limited version is the norm.

IT IS NOT THE NORM

And it really doesn’t have to stay that way

All you gotta do is activate and cultivate all in you that has been suppressed.

And, I would like to say, learning to ride your own white horse and becoming your own guru is tremendous fun, eye-opening, empowering and SO VERY liberating.

When you look at my vicious and virtuous circles in the diagram below, you will clearly see how we all get trapped in a terrible darkness, and how you can flood it out of you by using your own inner light.

You will discover how small you were conditioned to be, yet how brightly you can shine.

You CAN shine, but WILL you shine?

I sincerely hope you will - for your own joy, but also because our lost and troubled human world urgently needs lots of healthy, vibrant human beings to turn our fortunes around.

Our world needs YOU to thrive and shine. Yes, you really are that important.

I learned how to do it myself, and because I am a transformational teacher of adults, I can navigate you along a practical pathway and inspire you to get your own light beaming out into the world.

I have two underlying maxims for life to share with you.

Maxim for Life #1

First is a maxim that has helped me negotiate the highway of my life, coaxing me through challenging times, rewarding me with fun joyful times, making sure I never take life for granted, and ensuring I am always growing and evolving.

Maxim #1 is this:

So far as we know we only get the one life. There are no dress rehearsals. No second goes. No dummy runs. When your final breath arrives, your journey ends forever.

The worst feeling imaginable, surely, is reaching that moment and suddenly seeing—clearly, painfully—who you could have become and what you could have given to the world and all your loved ones…

…only to realise it’s now too late to change anything.

Yesterday cannot be changed, and there are no more tomorrows. Your time is up.

That regret will probably burn like hell.

Now, if something in you just whispered “Not for me”, then listen on…

Tomorrow cannot be changed either.

You can NEVER change anything tomorrow, impossible.

Reality check: life is just a bunch of successive todays. You can think about tomorrow, but when you wake up in the morning it’s simply another today starting over.

If you want to develop, evolve, and improve your life, then you can only make it happen TODAY.

Tomorrow is reserved for dreaming about (or dreading), while today is reserved for action, improving yourself, and for self-growth.

A better tomorrow ONLY comes from making a better TODAY, because today is the only day you ever truly have.

But we never seem to be ready to change things in our life today; taking action tomorrow always seems a more attractive option.

Stop resisting change: enjoy it, get skilled in it

The reason most people never take the plunge and change today is super simple, if little known: school failed to teach us how to know ourselves, how to trust and believe in ourselves, how to grow ourselves.

Human nurture hinders human evolution. Schooling gives us self-doubt instead of self-belief.

This is devastating.

The school system has failed the whole of humanity.

[If you think it’s the job of parents, just remember they all had the same schooling.]

So it’s not so much that we fear or resist change, rather we don’t have the mindset, skillset, self-knowledge and self-belief to make real, enduring change.

So we stay stuck - clinging to the familiar, fearing failure and being seen to fail, shrinking from judgment, immobilised by self-doubt. We get in our own way.

Only a second education for adults can fix things. This second, holistic, education is A SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION.

My friend, please don’t wait until it’s too late to make change. Start unsticking yourself, and remember, you can only do that TODAY!

Professional compassionate guidance is at hand for you

Menu for a Spiritual Revolution: Health Harmony & Happiness - A Brief Backstory

In 1991 I went to the mystical, exotic, faraway land of Thailand for my big travel adventure. Oh what fun I had! But then after three months the money ran out.

Desperate to extend my adventure, I smashed my way out of my comfort zone, walked the steaming hot gridlocked streets of Bangkok looking for language schools, and on the second day of job-hunting I managed to talk my way into a job teaching English to Thai adults and university students. I had zero experience of being a teacher.

Landing this job meant two unplanned things had happened to me which immediately began to transform my life:

• I had accidentally emigrated - without yet knowing it

• The universe had connected me with my own—hitherto hidden—unique gift: teaching and inspiring adults

It is my ensuing journey in life—working in a job I love, living in a country I love, my time filled with learning, exploring and travelling, getting to know thousands of people—that led me to writing my book.

This journey quickly taught me a second maxim.

Maxim for Life #2

This maxim is simple in concept, but it is totally transformational—and revolutionary—in practice.

When we unblock our school-suppressed mind, we begin unlocking our heart and unleashing our spirit.

It is through becoming aware of, and understanding, the limitations imposed upon us that they quickly drop away.

This enables us to make a truly amazing discovery: we can prevent most problems and solve nearly all the others.

In this new space—now vacated by the problems and suffering that have fled the scene—creative and uplifting energy arrives.

We become empowered.

Self-belief replaces self-doubt.

Life begins transforming itself.

BINGO! EUREKA!

What more do you want?!

The book is born

Now, being the teacher the universe had wanted me to be, all I could think of was how to best share what I had learned and experienced with the whole world.

So, in 2012, I finally acted upon a long-held desire to write a book to help humankind overcome all our burdens.

Menu for A Spiritual Revolution: Health Harmony & Happiness was up and running.

It had to be the total, one-stop guide to inspire and empower readers to become their own guru by their own endeavours.

The desire of all humans, surely, is to be healthy and feel happy, but to achieve that we first have to know who we truly are as unique, yet interconnected, human beings.

It was all in my head what to write and I sort of thought it would take about a year to do.

It took me eight years, so I got that a big wrong!

But now it exists forever.

Dear Friend, please be sure about it, this book is NOT another motivational pep talk or a ‘10-steps-to-heaven’ formula. Nor is it a magic pill, nor will it tell you what to do or who to be. And it won’t pretend there are short-cuts.

But it WILL lead you to your own answers and understandings, for your own life.

With multiple tasks throughout the book, you are asked to practically apply what you are learning to the context of your life, to further deepen your understandings.

It’s a proven, step-by-step journey of self-inquiry and guided discovery that wakes up every part of you—your mind, body and heart, your soul consciousness—so you can light up your life and finally live the big, bold, fully expressed life you were born for.

Simply put, you become YOU.

You live with vitality, clarity and purpose

You become an active player in the healing of humankind.

Change stops feeling scary and starts feeling like the most exciting, joyful, liberating adventure you’ve ever been on.

You drive, I navigate

It’s your life, so you have to do the driving.

I’m just the navigator.

However, since I’ve been on this road for many years, I know every turn, diversion and dead end!

Through developing self-knowledge and self-awareness, you expose and remove one perceived limitation after another, and you gain power over that limiting inner voice (which I consider to be the real matrix).

Start your revolution today - you have only darkness to lose and light to gain.

Thrive to love another day, and SHINE.

Here’s how you can get started on your spiritual revolution today (not tomorrow!).
