Remember, I promised you I’d show you a little something about how you can be, do, or have…anything you desire. This is a good part of the missing link.

I’m asking you to suspend reason and go with me for just a minute or two.

I want to show you something and I think you’re going to love it.

This vision I’m asking you to invest in, your original vision, is a combination of your thoughts and feelings when you first considered becoming free.

Let’s look and you’ll see, this is where creation happens. Continue reading

Ken Wilber is one of the greatest philosophers of this century and arguably one of the greatest theoretical psychologists of all time. Roger Walsh M.D. Ph.D.

Wilber is an American integral thinker and author. Working outside the academic mainstream, he has drawn on a variety of disciplines including psychology, sociology, philosophy, mysticism, post modernism, science and systems theory to formulate what he characterises as an Integral Theory of Consciousness. He is a leading proponent of the Integral thought movement, and founded the Integral Institute in 1998.

While Wilber has practiced Buddhist meditation methods, and the beliefs of Madhyamika Buddhism, particularly as articulated in the philosophy of Nagarjuna, Wilber does not identify himself as a Buddhist.

I first came across Wilber’s writing while in Thailand attending to my father who was injured in a high-speed car accident. Wilber is a prolific writer, and it was indirectly through his books that this site came to be. Some of my preferred titles are listed below.

All of life is a process, a continual process.

We all start equally at Square One. Progress along the Continuum of Life is determined by, among others:

• Social Environment
• Personal Aptitude and Hunger for Knowledge
• Family Background
• Religious Involvement…

The Development of Consciousness can be described as progression from:

1. Materialism to Spirituality, or
2. Egocentric to Globalcentric

Many theorists have named the different stages in human development. One of the simplest and easiest conception of the stages can be found in Scott Peck’s book, The Different Drum, in which he describes the progression from selfish child to self-giving sage. Peck’s stages are these:

1. Chaotic, antisocial
2. Formal, institutional
3. Skeptic, individual
4. Mystic, communal

The Secret was launched globally on March 26, 2006 and I am sure by now you’ve heard about it. Maybe you’ve seen it too.

The Secret is a feature length account of an age old secret, said to be 4000 years in the making, and known only to a fortunate few. The Secret promises to reveal this great knowledge to the world - The Secret to wealth, The Secret to health, The Secret to love, relationships, happiness, eternal youth… The Secret to life itself.

Of course, the information in The Secret is far from new. Earl Nightingale had the same message nearly 50 years ago when he released his program called “The Strangest Secret”, and Napoleon Hill wrote about it in his legendary book “Think And Grow Rich”.

The Secret is simply a dramatisation of The Law of Attraction, one of the Immutable Laws of Nature. My only criticism of this particular DVD is that it focusses too much on wealth creation, as if that were the only important thing in the world. The producers have also taken many liberties in their interpretation of the science behind wave and particle theory, so consider The Secret as your first foray into this fascinating subject. This is one of the most clearly spelled out principles of The Law of Attraction, and if this concept is new to you I’d highly recommend getting a copy.

If you’d like to take the concept a little further, try What the Bleep do We Know?

And finally, once you’ve seen The Secret, here is an analysis of where the producers have taken a little liberty in their interpretations of science: The Real Secret.

Have you seen The Secret? What did you think? Let’s hear your opinion below.

The first step to achieving a free and fulfilled life is to understand that all life is governed by law - nature, music, art and all of the sciences. These laws never change, no matter how much things around us seem to be in a state of constant chaos. This is why they are known as the Immutable (Unchanging) Laws of Nature.

To live in harmony with these laws produces vibrant health, engaging relationships, abundant joy, clarity of thought, unparalleled judgment and a fulfilled life. To violate them produces strife, stress and destruction. These laws are in operation, whether you are aware of them and understand them, or not. Much the same as the law of gravity continues working whether you understand it or not.

In everything I’ve written and collected on this site, I am seeking a universal approach to Fulfilled Living, specifically health and wellness.

Despite vast differences and conflicting opinions when it comes to health and wellness, all cultures share universal truths. Behind the facade of cultural differences and egotistical squabbling, all of humankind shares one undeniable common factor: Genetic design.

To be bound to one particular way of thinking with regards to such a fundamental fact of Nature is to limit one’s personal growth and compromise one’s health. All schools of thought should therefore be considered. The positive and the constructive aspects should be extracted from each of these schools and merged to form a more holistic and universal paradigm. Continue reading

Living in any Western (and even increasingly so, non-Western countries) today, is like being trapped inside a 45-gallon oil drum (a metal drum large enough to contain an average sized person, and which echoes horrendously when any sound is made inside). Now imagine turning a ghetto blaster on full-blast, while having a multi-channel TV link transmitting full visual media on all of its channels simultaneously. Add a small whirlwind and throw in loose pages from a variety of magazines and newspapers, and one has created a scale model of the media storm with which we are bombarded daily, and which is nigh on impossible to avoid.

We are all, in effect, being forced into a situation where our frazzled, over-stimulated minds just cannot function effectively. One needs quiet to reason, and especially to reflect on thoughts and past experiences.
