Now as I am about to launch my second book The True Nature of our Reality, so much has happened to me and the world around me that it’s a challenge to know where to start.
I’ve changed and the world around me has followed suit. The changes to us both have been profound, challenging and dramatic.
In 2006, when I first launched The Secret of Life, the material world was a world of abundance for very many of us in the western world. While the undeveloped parts of the world continued to struggle we were becoming more and more affluent.
Financial abundance perceived at the time to represent success, fuelled further growth and expansion of our personal income, domestic and international economies. I was ambitious, healthy, happy and very well off financially. I was successful in my property career and as a personal development writer and speaker.
The depth of the teaching in me has expanded and intensified and I have been blessed by life experiences and with further growth in my personal and spiritual development.
In the years following the publishing of The Secret of LifeI presented what I called the Sirius teachings in the form of a one-day seminar called The Sirius Life Seminar but after two years the property crash in Ireland in 2008 forced me to redirect my focus back to the family property business and my career as a chartered surveyor and property arbitrator. When my father passed away suddenly in 2009, I had no choice but to take over the family property business putting a hold on my passion for spirituality.
The crash had a serious affect not only on my professional career in the property and real estate business but also personally having been one of the many caught out by the dramatic and immediate crash in the value of property. The property investments I had made were decimated in value almost overnight.
I spent the next eight or nine years struggling professionally to ensure the business survived and personally battling financial insolvency with two banks. There were some very dark days and mental, emotional and physical challenges but I emerged successfully with the property business intact and my personal financial solvency secured. I am not looking for sympathy for the challenges I had, and I know of many of my colleagues who had greater challenges than mine, but it took a lot out of me and left me battled, scarred and very imbalanced. I was physically exhausted, emotionally drained, mentally challenged and spiritually lost by the end of the battle.
In the summer of 2019, I had my deepest awakening yet triggered by a mental breakdown and culminating in being hospitalized for depression.
I was almost three months in hospital detached fully from everything and in the end when I was discharged, I had a new perspective on life and living.
Today, I am physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually healthy and progressing well. I am financially comfortable. I now have a Masters Degree in Consciousness, Spirituality and Transpersonal Psychology to complement my BA in Philosophy. I continue to practice in property as a chartered surveyor and property arbitrator but am supported now by my daughter Rebecca who joined the company.
