In this blog, I reflect on life, learning, peace, and the challenges we all face in a rapidly changing world.
My aim is not to teach or preach, but simply to share insights and experiences that have helped me find clarity — in the hope they might help others too.
You’ll find thoughts on inner peace, philosophy, social structures, personal history, and what it means to live with awareness and kindness.
There are also some interesting videos, music and links and downloads to explore. Have fun!
I was born in Switzerland in 1947, moved to England at the age of 11, then to Italy at 40, and returned to Switzerland in 1990.
Over the years, I’ve moved more than 60 times—sometimes within the same town, sometimes within the countries.
My educational path was unconventional: expelled from school at 15, I later earned qualifications in Philosophy, Psychology, Marketing, and Information Science.
I’ve worn many hats—electrician, cook, power station worker, strategic project manager, and part-time business school lecturer for two decades.
I've worked with computers since the early days of the personal computers, such as the Sinclair Spectrum in the 1980s.
Life has taken me from sleeping on park benches under the snow to staying in five-star hotels. I’ve been a teenage junkie stealing food and, years later, dined with President George H.W. Bush and President Václav Havel while organizing international conferences and seminars.
In the 1970s, I worked security at music gigs. By the 1990s, I was a strategic planner for the London Stock Exchange and several major telecom firms. I've been a labourer on demolition sites and a Director of Hi-Tech Development company.
The last 16 years of my professional life were spent as a web designer, until I retired in 2021.
I’ve been married twice, have four children and five grandchildren, and have now lived alone for over 20 years. But the most significant milestone in my life came in the 1970s, when I encountered the teachings of Prem Rawat. Since then, my focus has been on becoming the best human being I can be—a journey of self-discovery that continues to this day.
Today I live alone on social security, help as a prison visitor and neighbourhood helper, and am content.
