An Uncommon Man on a Remarkable Journey

It was 5:00 am on a chilly morning in Tasmania, Australia, over 4 decades ago. On my way to bring the cows into the milking shed, I jumped on the merry-go-round I had made for my children out of an old cart wheel. Round and round I went.

This, I thought, represented my life… round and round, although it wasn’t ‘merry.’ Why was I milking cows? Fear cracked the whip, keeping me on this endless, monotonous circle, day after day, doing what I did not enjoy. Then, out of the blue, a question exploded in my head. “Who am I ?”

That moment, that question at age 35, would forever change my life as I embarked on an unshakable quest for self-discovery.

Over the next decade I became increasingly attuned to the Spirit of the Land, to the silent whispers of Nature. At first this new ability of communicating with Nature was quite threatening to me. I thought I must be going insane. But, in time, realising how much it enhanced my spiritual growth, I began to trust what I was being taught.

During this same period, I learned to develop and fine-tune a natural ability I had as a child, the ability to travel in my Light-body, going beyond linear time and space. I learned to cross the membrane separating the material (physical) from the intangible (metaphysical). New worlds opened up to me, and writing about these experiences became my creative outlet.

In spite of these unusual and rather extraordinary abilities, these years were the most difficult of my life… an endless struggle financially, physically, mentally and emotionally. I had been striving ceaselessly to reach the peak of the spiritual mountain, but all I had managed was to dig a massive, gaping pit of despair. I suffered from debilitating, chronic pain and exhaustion with no end in sight. I had failed on my path and refused to continue on in the illusion. Death was the only release.

In my darkest hour, in 1986, I gave up completely. Feeling utterly defeated, on impulse I began letting go of everything that was dear to me – my family, God, my beliefs, my desire to become enlightened and, ultimately myself as an identity. I moved into this deep process of letting go so that I could step into the portal of death that had metaphysically appeared before me. But instead of death… I stepped into a higher level of Life. I was overwhelmed by blazing Light, consumed by Love and a vastly higher consciousness. I knew myself to be Love and Light. This I Am. This is Self.

For the next twenty linear minutes I had no physical awareness. I was experiencing the holistic movie, ‘The Continuity of Self,’ simultaneously knowing the what and why of humanity, of life, and its purpose. When I came back to a physical reality, the ruptured disc in my spine was completely regenerated, and all my other ailments were gone, never to return. All anxiety was lifted away, all worry finished. I have never experienced either since. Michael, the identity, died. With the death of identity, Self is revealed.

My experience of self-realisation continues to unfold exponentially. I now experience unconditional Love and emotional completeness, along with very deep levels of insight. More recently, I experienced the reality and purpose of structure, and the structure and purpose of reality on various dimensional levels and timeframes.

Over the years, these many experiences have developed into the platform for my books and seminars, which I have been presenting worldwide for the past 23 years. For 21 of these years, relatively unknown, I have been waiting for my time to arrive. Everything happens in perfect timing. At the end of 2012, my perfect timing arrived. For me, 2013 is Year One. In this era of newness I am now moving into my full power as a spiritual teacher.

My days of farming and organic gardening have long ended. I am still a gardener at heart, and I always will be, but now I ‘grow’ people instead… helping them switch on their full spiritual potential. This is my passion, my purpose and my joy, and I welcome you to my website.

“We are Beings of Love. It is Love that connects all life on Earth… and beyond. Love is the prime factor of life. Love is the reason for our being here, the reason we incarnate over and over, all to connect with, and powerfully experience, unconditional Love. And to become emotionally balanced and complete in a state of inner freedom.”
