Hello,

Welcome to my personal page.  

Currently I reside in the inner metropolitan suburb of St Marys, South Australia.  This year (2008) is the year, after over 40 years of living on the edge of suburban civilization, I moved back to a suburb very close to South Australia’s capital city, Adelaide.  I had been born in Adelaide in 1949, venturing first to a fringe residential suburb, Reynella in 1968.  From this point on in my life I continued to move further away from Adelaide and my ‘childhood’ life, to eventually own a 10 acre property at Morphett Vale, 25K south of Adelaide by 1979, and a 140 acre property at Monarto, 65k east of Adelaide by 1999.

At Morphett Vale I was able to fulfil my childhood dream of owning and riding horses to the degree/level of involvement that allowed my horse knowledge to blossom to the maturation stage that it has now.  I spent 20 years living and working on this property, owning/riding/training horses and teaching people how to ride them.  Here I was able to fulfil two dreams or visions that I had as a child: to ride classical dressage in a wonderful way and learn what I needed to know to help riders to ride in happier ways.  By 1981 I was one of the Australian’s first accredited equestrian coaches, qualified under the auspices of the Equestrian Federation of Australia, earning my main income teaching riders to ride horses in a very healthy/happy/safe manner for both themselves and their horse from this time.

2008 represents the ending of my need to learn more about riding horses in order to fulfil these early visions/ideas.  It is not that I will not learn more about how horses need to be ridden for the wellbeing of both themselves and their riders as my life continues, or that I have lost my passion for seeing horses being ridden better than they have been in the past in the Dressage world, instead it is about that ‘glass’ being very full for me at the moment, virtually overflowing.  The point here is that my childhood goals have been achieved and I now have more important things to attend to in life.  I have started writing books on the horse knowledge I want to share with people and I am still self-employed coaching riders on their own horses.  Therefore I am still involved in the horse-world, but my work involvement in that world is just on a lesser scale than it has been in the past.  Currently I have lost the desire to ride horses - and I am very glad that I have been able to make this choice happily/willingly rather than find myself wanting to ride but unable to do so for some reason that is out of my control.

The shift from the rider-coaching world to the ‘life’-coaching world started to unfold more seriously when I decided to move to Monarto in South Australia in 1999.  This decision to move to the more ‘outback’ agricultural district of Monarto then aligned with a plan to devote more of my life to a study of the Human Condition that related to the divinity aspect of human nature.  An attraction to, and the studying of, various philosophies and theories about this particular aspect of ‘life’ had been increasing within me since 1984.  As the year 2000 came along, this was a time of my life when I related this stimulus to an idea that had ‘appeared in my mind’ when I was 25.  It was the idea that one day I would be doing with people what I was doing with horses.  At that time I did not have any idea of what this idea meant or where it had come from. It had seemed a bit strange, but it did make a surprised impression in my ‘mind’. That was in 1974, well before any conscious interest in human behaviour had entered my mind.

My primary school years had been under the influence of an Anglican Church school, but this had not led to the idea of religion being on my radar (in my thinking) in any serious form after I left that school.  Just before I left that school, I was very fortunate to have got a horse. My secondary education had involved commercial business studies, and my early years of paid ‘very typical’ employment had been in the area of office management and accounts.  But the very strong childhood desire of working with and riding horses, which had been working very strongly within me since I was 8 years old, was still there by the time the early 1970s arrived.  And this was the time when an opportunity arrived for me to make my life with horses a main income earning venture.  Working with horses then became a very serious ‘income-earning’ part of my ‘life’.  I became self-employed in the horse industry as a coach of riders and a trainer of horses.

Developments during the 1970s allowed me to fulfil the ‘vision’ of teaching riders how to ride horses in happier ways.  Working as a professional trainer of horses and riders from that time enabled me to focus upon my main equine interest, the Art of Dressage, which is what had been strongly stimulated within me when I was 8 years old.  I had see the film ‘Florian’, which was about the Spanish Riding School, and on seeing that I knew that that was how I wanted to learn to ride horses. From then until now has been a period of ‘knowledge gathering’ that will help me to continue to fulfil this ‘vision’.  My move to Monarto in 1999 had always been to allow me to develop the horse-work area of my professional life in a different form, which I have now done (visit www.horsemastership2000.com), as well as pursue an associated ‘desire’ of writing books about the riding and training of dressage horses.  This desire/idea to do this had come to me during my early years of my professional horse-life at Morphett Vale.

However, an interest in astrology had a major ‘kick-start’ in 1984.  Two very important people in my life had presented me with books of astrology on Scorpio and Sun Signs during the prior 3 years, but I had not been interested in them.  I didn’t know anything about astrology and was not interested in knowing about it.  It was a major event to one of these people in 1984 that caused me to question ‘why do people do what they do [to themselves] in life'.  A search for answers to this question then began because of this very emotionally traumatic time.  This ‘search’ led to me taking serious steps to learn about Astrology in 1985, and it continued to be a hobby of huge interest to me.

I had previously engaged with a short course in human psychology in 1982.  I had been interested in understanding more about human behaviour from that point of view.  So something had stimulated me to start examining human behaviour/thinking then.  But astrology became a study that I could not overlook, possibly because of the connection of a person’s natal chart with external world symbolism that it offers and its connection of the signs to human behaviour.  Mainstream human psychology does not offer symbolism like this.

An eager interest in this field of study continued until eventually I got to a point in life where I couldn’t resist any longer an undertaking the study of esoteric astrology (in 1997) and an associated study of esoteric psychology (in 1999).  By this time I was free of children at home and all my good school horses were getting to the 30 year old mark.  Along with a few other indicators, the time seemed right to move to another property, which had also been another vision from the early years at Morphett Vale. Yet I was unsure what I could do with horses there at that stage of my life, but moving to Monarto did allow me to easily pursue/develop the next equestrian-training/horse business development phase of my life while at the same time allowing me more time to commit towards further study in order to develop my understanding about the esoteric component of human ‘life’.

As 2008 came along, so did my new life.  By this time, a range of issues had arisen that seemed to suggest that it was time I moved back to suburban Adelaide, and it was a move I felt very good about.  While I did have things that I wanted to be more involved in here in Adelaide, I never realised the ‘huge’ importance that this move would have on my life at that time.  On the one hand I could appreciate how much easier life could be for me here in Adelaide, on the other hand, the move would allow me to make more effort easily in other areas of life that I was also interested in.

And I have not been disappointed. Amazing things similar to what enabled me to be where I wanted to be with my horse-work in the late 1970s have occurred.  But this time these amazing things are in the area of ‘better way’ or ‘happier’ living of human life, on both the personal and the universal level.  I had not envisioned or had any conscious desire to take the very ‘major’ steps that I took in the few months after resettling in Adelaide in relation to becoming a life-coach.  Something quite different to what was driving the horse-life development was ‘at work’ in relation to this new focus in life, and now, profession.  Although what currently happened at this time of my life was the start of a completely new path in my life, it does align with my coaching/helping people ‘mentality’ of earlier times.  And I am feeling very happy about all this.  At last I can put all my personal growth and psychology study to good use in a bigger and more public way, feeling very confident and enthusiastic about being able to do so.

Working with an understanding about how ‘life’ plays its game with humans on Earth that increased within me during 2000, I chose in 2001 to develop an astrology website for people interested in esoteric astrology called www.astrologybigpicture.net.  This website was the focus of a thesis for my Esoteric Science Master in Esoteric Psychology.  Information about this thesis is available via the Thesis link on this website, and the esoteric astrology information which was online at www.astrologybigpicture.net is available on the Esoteric Astro link on this page.  One aim behind the development of the www.astrologybigpicture.net website was to offer information that informs us of an aspect of spiritual development that many people experience in human life as their ‘life’ unfolds.  This spiritual development became the focus of my esoteric psychology thesis, and working on this thesis helped me to develop a better understanding of the value of astrology and its use in relation to human behaviour and development.   This particular form of ‘spiritual development’ or evolution in individual humans described in this thesis has become a ‘life’ concept that is very real in my heart and it now forms the basis for my consultancy as a life-coach.

I have a great deal of information that I can offer people at the free public gatherings that I am undertaking to organise currently (go to homepage and click in the ‘free’ link).  Basically, as part of these gatherings, ‘presentations’ are to be given about various topics of self-development that people can start to use to improve facets of their life.  People will be able to connect with ideas that may be valuable to them in lots of ways.  What people have to pay me for is my services in relation astrology consulting, personal ‘life’ coaching or whole or half day seminars.  The FREE forums need not cost you anything more than your time and effort to be there and you willingness to listen and absorb what is talked about there.  There is much being happily offered to people at these gatherings for free, both by myself and my friend Ann Hunt.  Why we are willing to do this FREE work can be explained to people at the beginning of every gathering.

I hope you find this site interesting and I would be very pleased to hear comment from you on how I can improve it for your use.
