*Footnotes, bibliography, and citation style listing after the interview.*
1. In terms of geography, culture, and language, where does your family background reside?
I was born in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia to my German mother and Welsh father, both Christians and educated people of strong family, ethical and social values. They arrived in the 1950’s post WWII Europe and were told to learn English and become Australian, a mostly-UK conformist annex of the world. I currently believe that Australia is a very good place to be in the world, with minimal corruption, rich natural resources, high educational and living standards, firm protection (due to natural geography and governmental support) and a high level of civil liberties and democracy. Australians are lucky.
Australia is a country with a rich diversity in people, geography, nature, opportunities and much more. It truly is the lucky country; no man can fail unless he really tries to. I was raised in an environment where things that occur in other counties are foreign and unknown here, evil … unheard of. It is hard to consider the differences of a normal life (here) and a hard life (there) while watching the international news.
2. What was growing up like for you?
It was difficult. I was different. I was strange – lived in my own world, talked to myself, and understood everything as a commentary between myself and I – in secret, of course, because no-one else would understand what I meant; and even, if (!) I were to explain, they wouldn’t have understood, for while I could not understand mental spacial relationships, my internal thinking was about half pictures and half visual symbolic representations, like some coloured-energy-cloud that breathed and evolved, like pictures coming together and merging, each with its own meanings and intentions understood – so I couldn’t explain these to others, especially as I didn’t like most other people.
I played music at seven years (guitar), then moved into brass instruments from nine until seventeen (trumpet through tuba) and have played the bass guitar since then; I tinker with different musics like pan flutes/wine bottles, vocal toning/chanting, keyboard and am a mad lap-tabletop-drummer if inspired enough.
Always excelling in the classroom, I usually failed exams because I argued the semantics of the questions and the test. I always failed school out of the classroom too, finding solace in the school library. In each school, I worked my way, day-by-day, page-by-page, volume-by-volume, set-by-set, through the encyclopaediae, and then moved onto their psychology, philosophy and science sections. Dewey was my friend.
3. When did you first become aware of or first try to develop your abilities?
I died at the age of seventeen and experienced an out-of-body-experience, viewing my whole body on an operating table and many hospital staff around me, after a road accident. My heart and breathing stopped and I was revived, but I was consciously observing in real-time what was happening to my body, seeing my face and self dying there, a purplish-indigo glow around everything. Until that point, I was a scientist and didn’t go for any religious nonsense; but afterwards, I explored yoga, OOBEs, psychic phenomena and the like.
Soon after, while learning to walk again around the hospital, I could look at a person and tell if they were going to survive or not. They psychically ‘reeked’ of death – a feeling – and also what they felt. As a latter-diagnosed Asperger’s Autistic, this was very new to me – I could ‘feel’ in a new way, new doors of my mind had opened, and – like it or not – it was coming to me, ready or not.
My first profound psychic experience was with my school friend Ryan, whom I am still in-touch with. Mum and Dad were driving me to Ryan’s 18th birthday party along the West Tamar Highway of Launceston, Tasmania. I screamed as I saw a white 4-door car overturn on the other side of the highway. Then, it disappeared. My parents didn’t see it. They said it was the painkillers. Mental, I was. No matter. We went to the party, a sleepover/gaming session. It was a good night, and I told everyone about my vision, and they all agreed with my parents, and we continued to play Archon (a RPG-style video-chess game). Ryan’s older brother even turned up for a few hours and played and then left late that night. We went home late next morning. That afternoon I got a phone call from Ryan saying his brother, who left late the night before, driving his white 4-door car, crashed and overturned on the highway driving back to Launceston, just where I had seen it. That was a very spooky moment. My life was never the same.
4. You have numerous online resources with reference to, or published by, you.[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18],[19],[20],[21],[22],[23],[24],[25],[26],[27],[28],[29],[30],[31],[32],[33],[34],[35],[36] [37],[38],[39],[40],[41],[42],[43],[44],[45],[46],[47],[48],[49],[50],[51],[52],[53],[54],[55],[56],[57],[58],[59],[60],[61],[62],[63],[64],[65],[66],[67],[68],[69],[70],[71],[72],[73],[74],[75] What responsibilities come with this public, professional exposure into the electronic world?
Ah, the internet. The greatest observable library of the World. Ah, the internet. Well, with great responsibility comes great power (lol, but true), and the key virtue to all leadership – for that is the pathway of power – is trust. Trust is earned, demonstrated and kept by keeping integrity. Anyone can be anyone, but their standing, reputation and value to society is ‘held’ by integrity, whatever that may be, whatever their values may be, and whatever their actions may hold them accountable for. I believe that for me to do the work I do, which I’ve not consciously chosen to do – it’s just what has happened – that we must adhere to our True Selves, and be the best we can be, and not for our own reputation, but for the sake of others, and indeed, the World.
5. You wrote a number books, e.g. Zen Master: the Art of Perfection (2008), Maths Experiments for Year 9 (2005), Sapientia Diploma of Metaphysics – Knowledge Master Program (2000), MLM Secrets: Networking in the Y2K (1999), and A Guide to the New Age (1996).[76] How did these become topics of interest to you?[77]
Zen seems to appeal to my perfectionist nature and philosophy, MLM Secret was a practical thing, as was Maths Experiments, and Sapientia is my basic instructional manual in the ‘ways of the world’ self-empowerment and how to learn as much as possible and how to think intelligently and spiritually in as short amount of time as possible.
6. What does each book cover?[78]
A Guide to a New Age was a spin-off from my ‘Tasmanian Directory of Alternative & Natural Therapies’ where I was the editor and publisher. We did 1000 copies for statewide distributor every two years and this started as a brief explanation of the modalities; but because I was drunk, it was midnight and there was a full moon playing with the harquelin of my mind, I decided to write sillilly, and asked a uni mate of mine (Jon Kudelka, now a famous award-winning national political cartoonist) to match them with images. He did. It was. It sold, went national, became a bit famous – it was a hoot.
MLM Secrets was the publication of a set of notes I’d written after a decade in the industry, Maths Experiments was a collection of mathematical experiments I’d used as a high school math teacher and Sapientia was a 1-year personal growth program of applied philosophy that drew from the Hebrew Qabala and medieval mysticism (the topic of my PhD research and thesis). Students come for 3-hours every Wednesday night for 44 weeks and get a Diploma of Sapiential Metaphysics. (Zen is still a work-in-progress.
7. You constructed intelligence tests, high-range intelligence tests, namely: Lux25, WIT, Mathema, Asterix, and others..[79],[80] How does one create, develop, refine, administer, statistically norm, and publish a legitimate test?.[81],[82]
This question is a book unto itself, and so, I cannot answer it. I may describe the answer in a sentence, perhaps: it takes time, experience, cleverness, cunning and a devious attitude to mettling-out the truth. Publishing is easy. Administering is easy if a home-test providing everything in honest (checking IDs etc) and norming can be complicated. Creating ‘tests that work’ as IQ tests is an art and skill. There are many methods that converge to the Ultimate Truth of the Matter. I have found one that works for me.
8. What test provides the most accurate analysis of general intelligence out of the total set of personal tests?.[83],[84]
Asterix (http://www.psiq.org/*.pdf) is my most accurate test. For those that take my four best tests and find their TrueIQ (a term I coined) then Asterix is the closest to their TrueIQ.
