I recently completed The Landmark Forum and have had another good look at the issues which have been running my life for years.
In unravelling some unbelievably difficult things, such as finding out I don’t need to have a panic attack if I say something out loud in public, or that I was the one who nailed myself to a cross to be a martyr, I started looking at what else is possible.
I have been in tears all day and I love it. Not from a place of sadness for the world, more for the pure genius of it. I have been understanding the nature of what it is to be inspirational from a whole new level.
I have been in a personal enquiry about music and I realize there are two kinds of musician.
There are musicians who practice for years and sing songs. There are musicians who are technically incorrect who move listeners to tears.
I have no affinity with U2, particularly as Duran Duran are very competitive of them.
Today however the guitar riff from Sunday Bloody Sunday spinning as an ear worm in my consciousness compelled me to listen.
I cried.
I totally understand Bono to be a person who stands for something bigger than himself.
Bono is not the bands singer when he opens his mouth, his voice is a function of the stand he takes for peace.
I considered the nature of it and there are a handful of people on the planet who really shine.
Then I asked myself, what would I take a stand about that would be at the same level?
Then I realised that being a stand for employment oppurtunities for adults with autism is a very different game than being a man who sets up a transport museum to employ people with autism.
From now on I invite you to listen to me in this way.
If you do, you will experience a miracle.
I’ll create it again for you in a different way. Please tell your friends to read the blog and support this space.
Mark Ty-Wharton is a man who stands for employment oppurtunities for adults with autism.
Adults with autism can count on me to carry out this role to the best of my ability.
And a message for Jerry Baden and Werner Erhard.
The possibility I invent for myself and my life out of doing the Landmark Forum, is the possibilty of being (a clearing for) inspiration and peace.

Mark, I was deeply touched by this message and after I read it, the following words came: “To be all we can be, to be that instrument of love we know we are, let us look in the mirror and love and accept the one looking back at us. He/she is the one needing our love, and within him/her are the eyes and ears and beingness of everyone we see, know and think about, and indeed, all that is.”
To the one looking back at us in the mirror. “I love you. Thank you for being me.”
