From a very early age, feeling there was more to the world and universe than was currently being taught in the schools and universities, a path was decided upon to search for and uncover the 'hidden truths' that lay at the core of life! The aim was more spiritual than physical (although physics was also studied), as it became more and more obvious as time progressed, that the spiritual was where the 'real underlying truths and causes' would be found (The spiritual being the blueprint for the physical universe.) This took an immense amount of spiritual research undertaken on an individual basis. A lifetime of searching and discovery, of these basic underlying truths, is being powerfully used now to change, help and guide others.
