Have you ever experienced real, unconditional joy?
Have you every been completely certain of something?
Have you ever been totally committed to someone or something other than yourself?
Have you ever stepped out of the confines of your mind into the universe?
I can sincerely say ‘yes’ to all of the above. Since I was a tiny child I have known that there are many fabulous secrets to our existence which will one day be revealed to me if I look in the right place. And I have always known that there was much more to existence than just this one human life with all its suffering and frustration, its ephemeral happiness, its dark beckoning womb.
Transformation and Transcendence are well within our reach if we cease to see everything from inside the room of our making, our mind. We can open the window or the door, walk outside, muse in the garden of no-conditions and truth.
I hope my site will inspire you to Transform and Transcend. The universe is good and pure, and we conscious humans are an essential part of that universe. It’s only the egocentric grasping mind, the envious and ignorant heart, that can contaminate our purity and goodness. And only we each have control of our minds and hearts. Only we can make the executive decision to take control, starting right now!
Two of the most seminal greatest moments in my life were: first, when I encountered the teachings of the Buddha Shyakyamuni; and second, when I was first able to put aside my own needs and desires entirely, and devote myself to others unconditionally. These shining events were when the true joy flooded in and the suffering emptied away!
However, the river has moved on closer to the ocean of truth and now I am honing my self with all my energy as well as looking after my loved ones. I have learned along my route that we must live for ourselves first. If not, we become depleted and eventually resentful that we give everything to others.
Now after a long life of taking care of others, I am finally relishing myself—my talents and creativity, my strength and capacity to love, and my generous, sincere heart. It’s wonderful to finally appreciate myself.
My life has been truly privileged in that I was born in multicultural Britain so I was exposed to many religions and belief systems, and explored them enthusiastically. I know that all religious pathways are heading towards the summit of the same mountain, but approaching from different directions. Experiencing other paths made me able to be certain of my path when I encountered so I wish to pay homage to those other paths on this site.
I have emerged. My mind has been put aside and I sit in the Earth. I am of the Earth and my own remarkable Hero.
I have also written many things about my pathway, including several novels. These will be available in the section in the Heroes shop.
I will be grateful for any comments or questions, and the opportunity to communicate with other pathsters who care to join me.

‘Knock upon yourself as upon a door, and walk upon yourself as on a straight road. For if you walk on that path, you cannot go astray; and when you knock on that door, what you open for yourself shall open.’
Silvanus: 1st century, AD
