I INVITE YOU to JOIN ME on a JOURNEY to a LEVEL WHERE PATHOLOGY DOES NOT EXIST.
for half a century he worked with various study groups, including doctors, lawyers, osteopaths, dancers, therapists, psychologists, teachers and others who, instead of trying to become perfect, were looking for ways to become more informed and holistic.
The wisdom, generosity, love and humour with which Mike shared his experiences with friends, relatives and all those who wanted to know about his work, helped everyone to open more deeply and easily to the amazing processes and metamorphoses that take place at the level of Higher Knowledge, and to implement ideas that sometimes are very difficult to understand. Meeting the Master has changed the lives and destinies of thousands of people around the world.
from CHAOS to ENLIGHTENMENT: MIKE'S LIFE PATH
MIKE HIMSELF about HIS LIFE
in a class in Northern California, the students asked me to write my biography. I had almost forgotten most of my life, but my wife, who had bravely attended the course, asked me sensible questions that began: 'Yes, but do you remember when...' and she got something out of me. at least the memories that I was willing to recall. I'm married to Barbara, and to speak with pure British understatement, that's a good thing! I've been married before, and each one seemed like a good thing at the time. but this one just keeps getting better and better. And the others got worse. Don't be insecure, be optimistic, kiss several frogs!
We have four children, three of mine and one of hers. The last time I did a head count, there were eleven grandchildren, including grandnephews and grandnieces. We live in a small cottage in the south of England and have a lovely garden, which is our shared passion. I grow vegetables, she grows flowers.
as for careers, once I was a clerk (for my father), grew rubber plants in Malaya, fought in the jungle, was an international film distribution administrator (with a huge income), sold Bruce Lee films, worked as a manager in a health food shop, psychologist, psychotherapist, acupuncturist, craniosacral therapist... what else does the future hold? I've been a therapist for about forty years. I've been a Buddhist for about forty years.
All that and a few other facts I won't bore you with is called compost. Also, I was an athlete, but that was a long time ago. I feel like a mortal now. All these things add up to what I am trying to teach, which is that enlightenment, according to the Buddha, is in the body. Right here and right now.
THE EMPTY BOWL
It was made by the last of the masters who know the secrets.
The cup is empty, though the Ocean fills it.
I can knock on it and it will sound. And that is useful.
I can put roses in it. And it would be beautiful.
but it will no longer sound.
My grandson could piss in it,
he probably would. And it would probably be useful.
but it will no longer sound.
but as I approach it from the Silence
and share my work with it, it begins to sing
very beautifully and the sound of it fills the Universe.
And that is useful.
And the bowl is empty.
I have a mind,
It was created in Eternity.
Sometimes it is full of thoughts, and it is useful.
And when it is filled with traumas and limitations,
That is also helpful.
Sometimes it's filled with roses, sometimes it's filled with urine.
I can work with all that. And that is useful.
but if it's empty and I'm approaching someone else
Out of Silence,
There is space for the History
to be poured out without a trace, and the other person remembers
Who they really are
And the Universe remembers itself,
And that's what's really good.
And the mind is empty.

HIS PHILOSOPHY IS a FUSION of SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY
in the last years of his life, Mike focused on bringing together different fields of knowledge, seeking harmony between ancient wisdom and cutting-edge scientific discoveries such as epigenetics and biocentrism.
This research has helped to develop a new understanding of the interrelationships between heart and intellect, masculine and feminine, and has contributed significantly to the expansion of mindfulness.
