My aim with this website is to share what I have learned on my life journey for the purpose of making a positive difference in the world. My ultimate goal is to raise social consciousness, which I hope to do by helping to raise the consciousness of the individuals who comprise the society.

I have come to realise that the problems that we collectively face - from war to poverty to ecological devastation - cannot be solved by political, economic or technological means. These are merely symptoms of a problem that, at its heart, has to do with who we are and how we relate to the world around us. Political, economic and technological tools have their part to play in the solution, but the prerequisite for unlocking their potential lies in our ability to use them for everyone's benefit. This we cannot do at our current level of consciousness.

The insights that I have gathered operate at two distinct yet interdependent levels. Some are personal in nature. They have helped me make changes in my life that have improved it tremendously. In many cases, they have been equally beneficial for the people whose lives I touch. Because I have validated them through personal experience, I know that they work, though I don't know how well they will translate to people who hold different beliefs to mine, honour different values and encounter different circumstances to what I have had to face.

The other insights are aimed at our communities, and ultimately at the society as a whole. They examine the dominant beliefs that we collectively hold, the social conventions that have arisen from them, and the social structures that we have erected on their foundation. My suggestions in this area are much more speculative. I can only hope that, if implemented, they will yield the benefits that I expect from them.

My commitment is towards progress and improvement at the level of both individual and community. This is why my writing is focused on envisaging a better future and suggesting ways in which it might be achieved. When it contains criticism of the present, it is solely with the aim of pointing out which of our beliefs, behaviours and aspects of society are in dire need of attention and what it is that makes them problematic, so that effective and lasting solutions to these problems can more easily be found.

I sincerely hope that you find the content of the website enriching to your life, as well as empowering to make the changes that you wish to make.
