How To Love Yourself

30 May 2011

You cannot make yourself love yourself just as you cannot make yourself love another person. Loving yourself is a result, rather than a cause, of a changed personality.

Work For The Sake Of The Work

17 January 2011

In my business career as well as with with my clients and students, I have developed a firm belief that our business success is 10% skill and 90% who we are, the quality of our character. This is exemplified by Richard Branson, a man with little education but now a billionaire with over 200 companies. [...]

They claim that this new period has changed the process of spiritual development such that a person can skip [...]

Where Have All The People Gone?

9 June 2010

I wonder…when something new is opened or discovered and there is so much activity, people say how wonderful and helpful it is, are they lying? or just wrong. For the purposes of this discussion, I am not speaking of a new restaurant, rather this is about something that is of benefit to you and your [...]

What Is Your True Path In Life

2 June 2010

The first thing is to really understand, not just intellectually, but to sincerely finally understand and accept is that there is no one specific God given special path for anyone. We each have some abilities, either natural talents or developed and learnt ones, that can be used in a variety of paths to make like [...]

What Really Bothers You

I Have a Dream

13 April 2010

It is a common dream, many people have it, but I have achieved it for many years on a small scale. I would now like to make my dream grow. I have built and had a successful school of this nature in Colorado, but I left that country and now live in New Zealand where [...]

The Importance of the Quality of Your Character; How to Achieve the Balance Required for Spiritual Growth

4 November 2009

Spiritual growth relies, in my opinion after decades of self work and study along with meeting many remarkable and unremarkable people, on the cultivation of your morals, personality and character. A strong character with correct standards and morals is the first prerequisite step a normal person must take towards spiritual growth to attain bliss and [...]

A Living Teacher or Acceptance

29 September 2009

The Sufis say that the way to find God is either through a living teacher or, failing that, is through acceptance. Acceptance of all things that come to you without judging them. The way of accepting all things without complaining or feeling bad is to know that the reason these difficulties exist is so that [...]

The Law Of Attraction Is An Electro Magnet

21 September 2009

Have you ever tried wrapping a copper wire around an iron nail and connecting the ends of the wire to a battery? Instantly, with the electrical charge going through the wire and around the nail, it becomes a magnet. Even with the addition of electricity, the wire alone is not magnetic, nor the nail on [...]

The Law Of Cause And Effect

4 August 2009

The Universal Laws are laws which govern the way things work. They are equally tools which we can use to make certain laws deliver certain results by consciously using other laws to effect them. The laws are not controlling masters if we choose to develop our Will to understand and work with them. The higher [...]

Learn How to See with Your Mind, Develop the Ability to Ponder

The Need For Mass Stimulation

6 July 2009

Sometimes these exhilarating feelings we get are not frequent enough to satisfy the body’s need for this euphoric feeling and so people turn to drugs to get that boost [...]

More On Inward And Outward Goals

29 June 2009

I have been asked to write more on this subject, and so I am pleased to do so. I have noticed in my decades of teaching that the sincerity of a person when they ask a question determines the quality of the response that I give. But another large part of my writing comes from [...]

The Secret And The Law Of Attraction

Why You Need To Know Your Outward and Inward Goal Before You Can Succeed

9 April 2009

To succeed in achieving your goal, there must be an inward satisfaction as well as the outward achievement of the goal. A goal that is related to anything in the world, for yourself or for others is what we call an ‘outward’ goal. In order for an outward goal to be achieved you must have [...]
