Well – I’m Staying True to Myself Right NOW
I have So Many Creative Visions that I know I will Achieve Over the Next 50+ Years
In Sharing My Dreams with Friends, Family, Associates & Strangers
I am Receiving Screeds of Negative FeedBack
Which is Understandable
AND at the Same Time Frustrating
As a Result
I am Sharing Less
While Still Holding TRUE to my Visions of Healing Humanity
I am also Refining My Conversations to be More Effective
and
AM Now Asking that People Ask Me Questions?
Before they Respond Negatively
So I can Present all the Supporting Principles Surrounding each Concept
In all of This
I have Noticed that There are 4 MAIN Listener Types
= = = = = = = = =
1 – Supporters – Those who See The Value Immediately AND Fully Support My Endeavours
2- Watchers: Those who like What they Hear AND Still have Doubts – Who will Sit Back and Wait Until they See Things Working
3 – Questioners – Those who Question Everything AND Will Only Come on Board when They See Concrete Evidence That Answers ALL Their Concerns
4 – Imbalancers – Those who Use Greed, Exploitation, Fear & Other Business Imbalances AND will Continue to Kick and Scream whilst Trying to Remain in Outmoded Thought Patterns
= = = = = = = = =
WITH This Knowledge I Now Address Everyone
With Peace and Confidence in My Ability to Create Exactly What I Want :)

Keeping The FAITH :)

Free The World
Light, Love and Healing :)

As a precocious little brat I watched ’2001: A Space Odyssey’ when it came out and was taken with HAL the computer. How might one engineer a true artificial intelligence?

About the time I entered college it occurred to me that, since the matter of the brain lives at the quantum level, maybe that was a good place to look for mind as well. It was the luckiest hunch of my life.

Back then, virtually no one was talking about consciousness — it was all about behavior in most psychology departments. Worse, the “neural winter” held sway, with research on neural networks all but moribund. Worse and worse, the foundations of quantum theory were pretty well shuttered.

I persisted, turning my back on most academics, beckoned onward by hints from Einstein, Weyl, Schrodinger and others.

Today, 40+ years later, the situation has undergone an historic sea-change. Googling “quantum biology’ will return over 25 million hits, for example.

In other news, experimental results have confirmed half a dozen predictions I’ve made concerning brain activity.

The journey has not been easy. Like a lot of bright people, my gift has a dark side in bipolar illness. Happily, modern meds work well for me, taken together with a healthy regimen of diet, rest and exercise, but … it wasn’t always so.

In the course of long illness my writing and research became a refuge and a sanctuary — a place I could go where progress could be made, where an often cold, uncaring world kept at bay.

Ironically, the long stretches of enforced solitude and comforting silence contributed in large measure to my eventual success. Today, I am secure in the knowledge that, thousands of years from now, people throughout the known universe will misspell my name and misconstrue my meaning. I still miss my time out on the frontier, though, and have composed a little ditty about those long years.

Home, home on the fringe,

Where the deer and the antelope cringe.

Where nowhere is heard

A more nervous herd

And the shepherd’s off on a long binge.

I made a career change later in life. I wanted to make films about things that I thought were important. I made my first feature documentary (in fact the first film I made) using the little bit of money I had, credit cards and bank loans. I quit my job and worked without pay for a year and a half on the project. It was a tough but I got it done. My highlight was my one hour interview with the Dalai Lama. I was two thirds through production and after the interview we had our photo taken, he kept squeezing my hand. It was all I needed to give me the boost I needed to finish the film when I got back to Australia. And now, 4 years later, I’m working on my most exciting project ever. 1000 Stories of Hope. And I hope to meet Richard Branson to ask him to become and Ambassador :)

Like the last guy.. I have to say ‘RIght here, right now.’

I believe education can and should be a much better, more enjoyable experience for most young people.

I believe in future, learning will become self-directed from a much earlier age, with much less need for ‘academics’ and ‘experts’.

That’s what keeps me writing my work, sending out proposals, applying for grants, delivering training and dreaming of a better future!

I may be pissing in the wind, but I believe the time has come for The Youth Coach! – that’s my truth ;-)

I must say the present, I started as an Entrepreneur at the age of 13, while my friends were doing lemon aid sales for school projects, I became the youngest Silver producer worldwide for Amway Corporation, back then my teachers worked for me, I was making more money than they did, today I have many options available to me allowing me to work for Governments, International Organizations and the Private sector.

I love a challenge, my new start up has given me the challenge of my life, sometimes I think to myself i have bitten off more than I can chew but as I have learned from a very young age “time is the solution to all problems” so I have keep fighting, one day at a time, when I first started this many people thought I was crazy, but 5 years later, I have made some of the most amazing accomplishments my country of birth has seen, the funny thing is the citizens of this region do not know its my work or I exist.

After all the fights, struggles and criticism of some of the region most well know people, I have stayed true to my vision and today am getting closer than ever before, many are starting to see my true vision, its amazing one person can start a spark that can change a unjust government, after that I dont take my start up as much of a challenge any more.

Keep dreaming, stay focus on your vision and success will come.
