His wealth of experience is plain to see in his writings, and in every presentation he gives, together with his special warmth, humour, wisdom, sparkle and charisma.

The talk of those in positions of world power is of "peace". The peace process, whatever that is. But there is no peace.  We have now entered a new age, the age of TERROR! Now a very few evil people can hold individuals, nations, and the world to ransom.

For our own sanity, let alone peace of mind, we all need some positive concepts to hold on to.

People are suspicious of politics, with good reason; wary or disgusted with the way many religious people seem to use their beliefs to intrude, intimidate, bully, or even as an excuse to cause murder and mayhem.

If ever there was a time to take care of your body, feed your mind, and protect and nurture your spirit... it is NOW!!

IS THE WAY TO SUCCESS A “SECRET”?

 The word “secret” has got the world buzzing!

As kids, we were always dying to know what

 the ‘secret’ was that those other children were not

 telling us about. As adults, the very idea of a ‘secret’

draws us into wanting to know what it is.

 One of the “secrets” that keeps us watching the soaps is because the writers keep us guessing about the ‘secrets’ built into the script, that are yet to be revealed.

 People just LOVE a mystery, don’t we? This current “secret” that has everyone intrigued, especially those interested in personal development and things metaphysical, has got everyone guessing as to what actually comprises the “secret”.

Now the questions have started. Is it this? Is it that? What IS the “secret”?? Is it “The Law of Attraction”? or The “Law of Manifestation”, or “Affirmations”, or of “Positive Thinking”?

This degree of public attention was bound to produce its new crop of metaphysical entrepreneurs who offer to tell us the inside ‘secrets’ of the “secret”. They claim to have the inside scoop. They say they can tell us “What the Masters did not tell you!” They ply us with promises of telling us, for a fee of course, that they will reveal all the good, important ‘really secret’ stuff that you have not yet been told, and it is all in their material.

The real SECRET to success in life is not a “secret” at all! Everything you need to know about creating wealth, health and happiness is all out there, as an “open secret” – for FREE!

Those who would promise quick and easy ways, a special “law” that if only you knew it, you can have anything and everything you have ever wanted, all you have to do is……. do not tell you it is all out there for you, for nothing!

Look, is true success ever “quick”? Is there such a thing as “easy money”? Well, maybe, but usually if any way to “easy” riches looks “too good to be true” IT IS!! Or you have to break many laws to get it.  Here is one “law” of success: Break laws, eventually, they break you.

OK. If I tell you, you can be a world ranking pianist, and all you have to do is to buy my ”secrets”. I’ll teach you the quick and easy way to buy a piano, learn how to press the 88 keys in the order it tells you on the music, and hey presto!! There you are, you’ll soon be a success as a concert pianist. Would you believe me?

No! Probably not. It takes years of study, tens of thousands of hours of practice, probably several music teachers, self-discipline, a mentor or coach, and your own dedication to your purpose and goals over many years. Even then your success will be in direct proportion to your ability, application, determination, courage, and all the other positive values it is vital to bring to the job of becoming a successful concert pianist.

It is the same story with achieving true success in this life. It takes a lot of study, research, application, yes, and that dirty word ‘self-discipline’ to make a success of your life. Accumulating wealth, ‘stuff’, and the physical trappings of wealth is only a small part of becoming a successful human being. You also have to guard, attain and maintain good health. There is no point in any of it if you are not happy!!  

So why am I telling you this? Well, I am offering to save you a lot of time. Over fifty years of research have gone into my book,

“How To Make Your Life Work Better, and be

Wealthier, Healthier and Happier.”

 It does not contain ALL you need to know, but it is the distillation of most of my studies on personal development over five decades. It contains literally hundreds of the so-called “secrets of success”, which as I say, are not really secrets at all. But if you want to be an expert in any sphere of endeavour in life, it helps a great deal to have a coach. Someone who has “been there and done it”, and hopefully has the T-shirt also!

 If you buy the book and audio files, and dedicate time and effort to listening and learning what it says, and then diligently apply what you have learned step by step, your steady progress towards greater success in your life is guaranteed. Yes, if you apply the “secrets” it contains, and you get into harmony with the ‘hidden’ laws of success, you are absolutely guaranteed that your life will change for the better.

 These physical and spiritual laws are not really ‘hidden’, but because they are known and practiced by so few, talked about by hardly anyone, certainly not taught in schools or places of higher learning, they are in a sense ‘hidden’ from the daily experience of most people. So some call them “secrets”.

When asked, those who claim to have ‘mastered’ the “secret” will offer new ‘insights’, many new aspects to understanding the ‘secret’. Interestingly, it has been observed that these ‘masters’ do not all agree. But even this has been lauded as a good thing. Life would be dull and boring if everyone agreed wouldn’t it?

I don’t think so. It is a good job that aspects of many of the laws we live by are agreed by one and all to be “absolute” and certainly not a matter of opinion. Which laws? The unseen laws that concern gravity, aerodynamics, electricity, chemistry, physics, structural stability, speed and inertia, to mention but a few.

Anyone who sits around and uses metaphysical speculative or abstract reasoning to argue the merits and demerits of these proven laws is wasting their time and energy.

(Dictionary definition: metaphysical: excessively subtle reasoning, immaterial, incorporeal, super-natural) No matter how plausible their reasoning, those who practice this branch of philosophy are on dangerous ground if they attempt to re-invent and apply their own interpretation of how these laws should be applied.

They say that history repeats itself. There is no doubt that all this interest in things metaphysical is very similar to the public intrigue that centred around the group of Greek philosophers who lived just over two thousand years ago. The writings and thinking of Pythagoras, Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, and a large group of other ‘thinkers” form the basis of a large proportion of modern ‘philosophical’ thought.

Metaphysical philosophy could be a confusing, contradictory, insecure route towards understanding the true ‘secrets’ of a successful life.

Our ability to think and reason depends to quite a large extent on our vocabulary. In fact, a study of the relative prosperity and success of different cultures might be correlated to the number of words in common use in their language. Consulting a dictionary frequently to learn about the meaning and the origin of words is a very worthwhile habit to develop.

For instance, the meanings given of the word Metaphysical are very revealing.

Metaphysical: Based on speculative or abstract reasoning.

Too abstract, excessively subtle, immaterial, incorporeal super-natural. A branch of philosophy that systematically investigates the nature of first principles and problems of ultimate reality. The study of being, and the structure of the universe. Speculative or critical philosophy in general. Excessively subtle, abstract or speculative reasoning based on Aristotle’s work which followed his work on physics.

Do you really want to base the way you run your life on the speculative and abstract thinking of ‘philosophers’ who have such wide ranging subtle, immaterial ideas?

 Have a quick look at the word ‘philosophy’ in the dictionary also.

 Philosophy: – From two Greek words

Philo – love (Philanthropy – love of mankind)

Greek Sophos or Sophia: Skilled or clever

Greek Sophia: Wisdom (Sophocles 495-496 BC)

 This Greek word Sophos meaning clever can be taken two ways. The person who is a Sophist can be honestly clever, but more likely devious and deceptive, as the dictionary explains for words that use the same root.

Sophism: Deceptive but Plausible fallacious argument.

Sophist: a scholar skilled in devious argumentation

Sophistry: Plausible but faulty reasoning.

So it pays to be extremely careful, and discern by study whether the words of those who claim to be philosophers are honest and true, and that they are setting forth truth, or whether they are using subtle, plausible, enticing, but fallacious arguments which in reality have no truth in them.

The Greek school of philosophers that were extant over two thousand years were known for their self-serving, appealing, plausible, subtle proclamations, and their over inflated egos, and their moral turpitude. Socrates was executed for perverting the young!

Yet the word ‘philosopher’ conjures up a somewhat urbane individual, a scholar, who is philosophical and remains calm under trying circumstances, perhaps even someone who is sophisticated.

What does the dictionary say about Sophisticated?

Sophisticated: Having acquired worldly knowledge. Lacking simplicity and naiveté, urbane, cultured. And the verb….

To Sophisticate: to cause to become less natural, make less true, genuine or honest, to corrupt, pervert, or adulterate.

So in the process of studying “secrets”, listen carefully to the words of those who would offer you the esoteric truths that are hidden from view. Carefully analyse their arguments, and examine them for the truth they may contain, and you will find that those grains of truth are all too often mingled with false arguments and conclusions.

Partial truths about any aspect of life can be lethal. Have you ever listened to a salesman extolling the wonderful features of a motor car? Everything he tells you may be true. When you get the car home, or when you have driven it for a while, how many people find out the hard way about what the salesman omitted to tell you. When we get only a part of the story in any realm of life, we are in an invidious and risky position, especially if we act on partial knowledge if other ‘truths’ have not been explained to us.

Be aware that a combination of truth and error can be a deadly mixture. “All that glisters is not gold” and the shiny, tantalising statements that purport to tell you how you can get all you want in this life just by….. are frequently at best half-truths, or partial truths, mixed with a lot of conjecture, and unfounded opinions.

We human beings are governed by many powerful, unseen, spiritual laws. Our success and failure in life are linked to the degree we are in harmony with these laws. The more we use them to guide our conduct through life, the more successful we will be.

One of the unfortunate emphases of the “secret” is to suggest that everything we want in this life is to be had just for the asking. In a way this is true, and it is not a complete truth. Many statements made by proponents of the “secret”, promise that simply by following its principles, success unlimited is there for the taking.

But is this true, or is it a plausible, glittering, specious, false generality? The evidence is there for you to examine. Study the “secret”, even the “secrets of the secret” and see if you find it simple, easy to understand, and effective in helping you achieve the success you desire in the timeframe you have set.

What exactly is success? What constitutes a successful life? Prosperity and the acquisition of physical things is certainly a part of being a success, but only a part. Without concern for others, a constant striving to gain and maintain harmony with spiritual laws that ensure the development of good character, we don’t add up to much.

It has been asked, “What is the point of anyone who in the process of gaining the whole world, loses themselves in the process?”

Human beings have the gift of CHOICE. We can either pursue positive values, or we can embrace negative values, or we can live in unconscious ignorance of the reality of the effect of law.

If we CHOOSE actively to pursue positive values, then we develop good character, and a measure of success that is proportionate to our attitude and our ability to make the right choices.

If we either CHOOSE actively to pursue negative values, or through ignorance, fail to use the positive natural laws of life, then our failure as a human being will be in proportion to our wrong attitude and conduct.

True success is attainable. It is a step by step process of studying the right values, and making the right decisions.

Yet, we can observe those who flaunt most of the positive spiritual values most of the time, apparently succeeding in making the majority of the world work the way they seem to want it.

On a global scale, mankind has broken the natural physical laws of ecology by the extent of deforestation and the massive burning of fossil fuels. This has resulted in the slippery slope of global warming. Our reckless disregard for the delicate ecological balance is also leading to the extinction of thousands of species.

Internationally, the daily news shows despots ruining entire countries; Governments waging war which kill thousands; ruling politicians who implement policies that cause poverty and famine run rampant in many countries.

 At the personal level, relationships are failing due to ignorance of the laws of love; thieves break the law yet prosper; people suffer poverty and lack of success because they have never been taught how to manage their lives for success.

 J. Paul Getty, once the richest man in the world, was quoted as saying, “I would cheerfully give up my millions for one successful, happy relationship.”

The majority of the world’s tragic activities the newscasters present us with are the end result of the almost universal breaking of the positive spiritual laws by the billions due to ignorance and wilful stupidity.

Nobody needs to remain in ignorance. We can help you cut through the maze of confusing and conflicting information, and make clear the real ‘secrets’ of success in simplicity.

There are two ways to go in this world. The GIVE way, and the GET way. So here are the really simple choices you have to make:

You can either be tempted by the new “secrets” offered by metaphysics which offers the quick and easy way to “get rich” and “get everything you want”.

Or you can be among those who give to the matter of becoming a success in this world a painstaking job of patient learning, of testing and proving, of implementing true values. Join those who practice a wholesome way of giving and receiving, and in the process add to their own joy and store of life’s good things, but also enrich the lives of all those around them.

The vast majority of people want the easy life. They follow the crowd. They apply little mental or physical effort to learning how to make their lives more fulfilling. They would rather let others think for them, the politicians, clerics, gurus, and philosophers. It is so much easier, far less hassle, to go along with what all those around you believe, think is right, and practice.

It takes a strong fish to swim against the current. It takes courage to stop following the ‘sheep’. It takes effort to study, to learn, to discern the good from the bad. Although some philosophers, both ancient and modern, would have you believe that there is no such thing as good and bad, or right and wrong, and condescendingly say that of course if you choose to be judgemental and look at things in that way, that is up to you!  If ever there was a plausible, but fallacious and dangerous proposition, it is that!

Even more preposterous is the suggestion of some ‘thinkers’ that we are gods, and that we actually created the reality of this world in all its wonder and perfection, its balance and diversity with our minds! Well as they say, if you believe that, you will believe anything.

However, this notional statement is actually a horrendous distortion of a profound truth concerning the potential of human beings. The sum total of the best of all the wonderful things we humans have been able to create like planes, trains, and other wonderful inventions, is more than counterbalanced by the chaos and destruction of fauna and flora of the planet wreaked by man!

It also takes courage to chart your own course. It takes real guts to make changes in the way you look at things, and consequently change the way you act.

Why are we here? What is the purpose of human existence?

The Earth is a school, a training ground where we can either learn to develop good character, and qualify for a permanent life in the future, or fail to qualify by reason of the choices we make through this life.

We have been given free will to choose our pathway in life. There are three sorts of people.

1. We can grow in knowledge, understanding and wisdom of the positive spiritual values, and develop right habits and good character. By doing so, we will add ‘good’ to this world and to all with whom we have to do, and when we die we leave the planet a better place for our being here.

2. Or, like the vast majority, we can just drift along with the crowd, learning little, doing little to benefit ourselves or others, taking up space, using precious resources without thought, living a somewhat meaningless existence, and adding nothing to this world.

3. Or we can bend and break the laws which govern health, wealth and happiness, and cheat a little, lie a little, steal a little, wreck the planet a little, makes lots of money and accumulate a lot of things, and in the process destroy what little character we had in the first place, and die leaving the world in a worse state as a result of our being here.

These three types of people can choose whether to respect and honour Mother Earth, and “dress it and keep it”, just use what is here for our benefit, or systematically spoil it and destroy its beauty and its incredibly perfect ecological balance.

On a personal level, while on this earth, we have a big job to do with our minds and hearts.

Firstly, we are here to observe the way most of the world has become through mankind’s tragic efforts, and decide that overall, this is no way for anyone to live.

Secondly, we are here to learn to push against the tendency of our human nature which, if we allow it, will drag us down into all forms of depravity. We are to resist taking the easy way of giving in to, and practising negative values, and develop positive traits.

Thirdly, we are to battle constantly to encourage our human spirit aspire to greater, higher things, and build strong, fine, upright character. This will prepare us to face all the wonderful things the future can hold for us.

This is why we are here, and these are the choices we are forced to make. There is one thing in which we have no choice, and that is we have to choose!

This paper has presented in short form, some of the details of the “open secrets” which lead to success or failure in this life. We hope that it has been informative and inspirational.
