The underpinning beliefs that form the philosophy are:

• Human beings seek happiness, success and fulfillment, while they wish to avoid pain and suffering. Ultimate pain is death, Ultimate pleasure is immortality.
• The fundamental impediment to achieving these universal human "goals" is ignorance.
• Knowledge is the answer to removing these impediments. To achieve our goals, knowledge must lead to action.
• Knowledge is our heritage. It is available readily in the "waters of life" which have been dyed with the wisdom of many enlightened "seers" over the ages.
• We can tap into these waters of universal and ageless wisdom by searching within ourselves.
• Everything that is material, flows and changes.
• The spiritual aspect of our being is unchangeable.
• Good and evil are a reflection of knowledge and ignorance and exist together like the yin and yang.
• More:
• Education is a way to improve the human condition.
• Leadership and ethics are essential elements of a balanced education.
• Leadership is the process of transforming dreams into reality. Thus, change is central to leadership.
• Ethics is the concept of good and evil expressed through a value system. Balance is central to ethics.
• Humans are bundles of desire. All desires may be grouped into four levels--after the ancient sages of the east
• The human journey in the metaphorical river has an inner and an outer aspect. The inner aspect is determined by the trilogy of actions, values and desires. The outer aspect is determined by the spark, resonance and flow. This book shows how these two trilogies determine the course of life.

Who Am I?
Why Am I here?
Where am I going?

The Wisdom of the Ages, says

You are part of the One Existence which men call God. You are divine in your origin and divine in your innermost nature. Your body is mortal; your spirit; which is your true Self, is immortal; your soul, which is the self which thinks and feels and regards itself as 'I', may win it's immortality it it becomes the servant of spirit, and not otherwise.

You are here in order to discover what you really are, and to bring into activity all the powers that lie sleeping within you. Since you are, in you true nature, a part of the divine life, you have within yourself all the attributes of divinity: infinite love, infinite wisdom, infinite power. Humanity is still very young, and most of us have hardly begun the immense task of Self-discovery. But we are here to do this very thing, and we have all the time we need to do it.

You are going in the direction you have chosen, either drifting through life, at the mercy of events and of your own passing whims and moods, or taking adult responsibility for the whole of yourself, your character, your actions and your future. The full stature of manhood is the perfect expression of divinity in a human personality. You are choosing, at every moment, either to waste your opportunities and deny your true Self, or to accept your destiny and move consciously towards the goal of Self-realization.

"Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion." His Holiness The XIV Dalai Lama

"Lord Buddha is saying that you only have to know what you are, how you exist; that's all. You don't have to do anything. Just understand your mind: how it works; how attachment and desire arise; how ignorance arises; where emotions come from. It is sufficient to know the nature of all that; just that gives so much happiness and peace." - Lama Thubten Yeshe

Mother Theresa:

People are often unreasonable,
illogical, and self-centered;
forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends
and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
there may be jealousy;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway

Mother Theresa

Any Advice

Be open minded - beginner's mind

Don't belief anything just because somebody says so. Experiment for yourself. Test it out with your own mind & heart. Become an inner scientist. Be a student not a follower.

Be aware of your criticisms, fears, doubts etc. these highlight how your own mind works -

• are you dominated by a sceptical logical, negative, doubtful, cynical mind, even 'know it all' or 'holier than thou'?
• or are your thoughts mainly worries, doubts, fears, grief, sadness, depression
• are you even aware of your thoughts
• or are you in too much of a rush - too even read this now -
• maybe you' re printing out pages or save and read later. (ok if you actually do read it)
• or are you fully present, awake, alert, but relaxed - with what is called a Beginner's Mind.

Let breath, sound, silence, space, realisation of inner being, soul, be your anchor to the present moment. Notice when you are not present. Catch yourself thinking.

Listen to your heart - your in-tuition, small still voice inside.

Quick Tips & Truths

The most important person is
the one you are with in the present moment

Life is about relationships,
weaving a tapestry of fruitful experiences,
living to our full potential
