It’s A Wonderful Life is now considered the most inspirational American movie of all time, yet when it was released it was considered a box office flop.

It took around forty years for people to really “get it”.

As Christmas rolls around the globe, I want you to consider an opportunity.

The opportunity for each and every person on the planet to have an enlightenment experience.

The kind of experience people trek thousands of miles to Tibet for. The moment an experienced yogi would cite as profound. An awakening. And all available from a single weekend experience.

And a prediction…

Sooner or later, what I am about to tell you will be considered the most inspirational material of all time.

In 1971 a man named Werner Erhard created a seminar based large group awareness training called EST.

What you may not be aware of some thirty eight years later, the experience is still available in a similar training offered by Landmark Education.

The impact of the lives of the people who participate is profound.

Having recently reviewed the course, I now realise the huge positive impact originally participating in 1999 had on my life.

Apart from being born, 4:52pm on day three of the Landmark Forum is ongoingly the most important moment in my life.

I have access to living a life I love. And I love my life because I love my life.

My own book is based on principles I learned indirectly from Werner Erhard.

More interesting, my entire life is influenced by him and so is yours.

As the originator of the conversation about transformation and making a difference, almost everything these days hinges on these premises.

Virtually every conversation inside personal development and self-realisation lives in the idea we are perfect the way we are, when we remove our issues.

The way we are, AND the way we are not…

But how do we remove issues which would take a life time to evolve beyond?

Simply by removing our sense of self. The Ogre. Like Yoga. There be monsters between you and God!

So here is a Christmas gift to you. Let me take you in a direction by inviting you into a conversation.

For the twelve days of Christmas, I am giving away a free eBook download of my book The Logic Of Attraction (normally £9).

You can download it here:

http://LogicOfAttraction.com/MerryChristmas/LOA_XMASFREE.pdf

The password is: XMASFREE

And to accompany the book I am giving away an audio meditation, recorded by the fabulous Rich Hilton, which compliments an exercise in consciousness in the book.

All you have to do is sign up for the newsletter to receive it.

If you like what you get, comment below.

Okay.

Panic Away is working.

I can see I initially had generalized anxiety as a child, then as I got older started to add situational anxiety into the mix.

When I was around 17 or 18 I tried smoking grass. While the initial effect left me with a profound at oneness with the Universe, my experience only extended as far as my high school religious teacher’s understanding of Bhuddism.

I really made it all mean something it was not.

Once at the public house that we were walking to, the laughter became an acute panic attack coupled with a feeling I was going mad.

Thirty years later I get to see I have my conversations about enlightenment and my experiences taking drugs collapsed.

My experience of getting high, IS a panic attack. So my experience of panic IS of expanded consciousness.

I am afraid if I expand consciousness too far, I will lose touch with real Mark and never get back.

I hold my breath for ages, then take a series of fast breaths till I get to the point I will faint.

I suspect I may have fainted at some point while “out of it” and don’t recall the event.

Up until the weekend I had a fear of not remembering what I had done.

Or, I would hazard a guess at it being the dentist, or an operation. Maybe how I interpreted something they said while I was under.

What I am really enjoying is being in the game of disappearing panic.

I can live with it sure, I have done it forever.

I can’t live with the conversation I am an enlightened being though, it is ridiculous.

Landmark Education just handed me a profound new understanding of what it is to be human, it is.

My understanding is Landmark is not really about enlightenment. What I have got is enlightenment about enlightenment!

There’s a looking glass sure, the reality on the other side is way deeper than mere reflection and certainly not whacky.

And breathe ;-)

See you on the other side,

Dear Reader;

So I want to create in language a new opportunity for you, my reader, to be inspired by this blog.

I usually create this space like I am broken and I dump my crap here. I apologise, I am not broken!

To date, this blog has been about as inspirational as dog sick, even my Mum unsubscribed. Really!

I just woke in a cold sweat – 03:40am

It’s all about me, all of it.

Everything in my space, has been put here by me.

I’ll hazard a guess and consider for a moment the Aspergers, the anxiety, they are just stuff I made up.

Not like in reality my brain does not work differently. It does.

More like, I chose it, then I made it a problem.

Imagine the value to science of someone who clearly distinguishes and notices everything about everything.

Then focus this mind on trivial nonsense and have it tell everyone it is broken (and broke – believe me without my credit cards I am pennyless right now).

Do you think Einsten was worrying what the other parents thought about him in the playground when he dropped his kids at school.

Did you see his hair?

I promise not to do that any more, like it matters.

I took a MENSA supervised IQ test last week, then pretended I didn’t.

I failed to make MENSA by a point (because I was busy sabotaging and believing my own crap).

Next time I take the test I will be aiming for the maximum score, 161.

This is not the Mark Ty-Wharton (aka Tinley) you came here to read about.

Did you know, everyone on this planet has a unique place here?

Did you know I am letting hundreds of adults with Aspergers and other disabilities down if I fail to open my transport museum?

Did you know my book has the power to really change lives? (people are telling me their experiences and I am not telling you because it is marketing).

Did you know all the best Internet markters hate me.

I just jibed at them like a jealous kid, then told all my friends EVERYTHING is a con.

It can’t ALL be!

The only real con artist here is me…

Not like my book isn’t great, it will change your entire life.

Like, there is so much more of the amazing Mark Ty-Wharton to give and so much more for you to get.

So what is the Landmark Forum?

Is it a con?

No way!

I have been reading Werner Erhard’s material prior to attending this course.

Werner created EST and the conversation is alive in Landmark’s courses.

The man is BRILLIANT. Not like I am trying to impress him if he reads this brilliant, like pure GENIUS.

The course is BRILLIANT.

You KNOW from reading my work (even my crap) how intelligent I am.

And from my razor sharp focus and from the paradigm of problems, I’ll dig one up if there is one.

So what am I saying?

I am saying I am no longer going to waste my time and yours by writing crap.

I am not saying anything else unless it is worth saying.

I am telling you right now DO THE FORUM. Google Landmark Education. No links, you’ll figure it out.

and I am requesting, if you get this, pass it on and ask someone to read my blog. Not just read it though, please register via Feedburner so I know you are here.

I already told you there is another side to the looking glass,

This is it!

Thankyou for listening

Mark

Autism Conference As a positive spokesperson for autism I am a professional speaker, sound artist and writer.

If you are neurologically typical, I believe there are more things about us that are the same, than are different.

If you are on the autistic spectrum, then like me, you are looking for a place where you fit in to life.

So what am I trying to achieve?
I believe every section of humanity has a purpose and serves a function.

If one part of society is dysfunctional, then society is dysfunctional as a whole.

My goal is to make society aware of the benefit of giving autistic people a voice.

To reintegrate the Einstein mindset, lost by the education system, with humanity.

To reintegrate humanity with the very value that makes it human…

Diversity.

The campaign?
Jobs for genius is a project to create a commercial autistic mastermind group, which solves seemingly unsolveable problems for corporations, manfacturers and technical service providers.

The vision?
Thousands of self managed mirror groups worldwide.

The talk?
The possibility explained.

Intrigued?

It strikes me as ridiculously odd, that humanity wants to preserve and dissect the brain of Einstein, when there are thousands of Einstein alikes being reviled for being stinky weirdos.

Einstein is said to have had Aspergers right?

Aspergers though, what is that?

Was he mental?

By all accounts an utter fruit cake!

Okay… Eating habits aside; the easiest way to describe Aspergers in a non discriminatory way is as “a mind set”.

People with Aspergers, who have very high IQ, are particularly good at focused research (in areas they are interested in, where they can become academic experts very quickly). We are also good at spotting detail which goes un-noticed by others in data.

You see, Einstein formed an obsession with some stuff, then had a bit of an idea. After he wrote it down, academia looked at it and declared “fu*k me, that’s brilliant”.

And while everyone talks of brain disection or looks for the next Einstein, we fail to notice the very signs of other Einstein mindsets in our midst.

Einstein struggled through school and clashed with authorities. Failed entrance exams because he excelled in one area, yet was not so good in another.

Education is fu*ked and fails to prepare our best and brightest shining stars for a fu*ked world.

Human beings are lazy. We live in a world where we expect miracles to happen. Only a small section of our population actively seeks to evolve. And we evolve because of our intelligence, yet in our collective wisdom we trample our experts and geniuses to the bottom of the pile.

It is easy to control the hearded masses, give them a diet coke and something simple to engage them. Diet on low fat products jam packed full of carbohydrates. Brilliant! Playstation? Even better…

But what of the non-conformists?

Label them – ADD – Aspergers – Autism or Borderline Human Disorders, Psycho and Schizm.

Drug the bastards!

And this is where Aspergers gets interesting.

The drugs tend not to work as expected. Amphetamine Sleepade, Introspectasy, Freakcaine, Tramodalert?

The government provides funding, it isn’t that. The government even provides helpers. But not people to illicit our best works, people to help us go away. We don’t fit in. We are not wanted.

But they still want to dissect Einstien’s brain?

OI… YOU FU*KING MORONS – EINSTEIN’S BRAIN IS DEAD.

(I liked writing Oi *snigger*).

I can personally introduce you to a handful of people who think using roughly the same patterns and strategies as Einstein.

Social expectations are… That the people with the brilliant ideas will make it into college and provide us with the answers we need to evolve.

Yet the way society is being homogenised into an all for one and one for all product placement advertising campaign, I can’t see that happening.

Brilliant minds are being broken, crushed…

Today’s Einstein won’t even make it as a patent clerk. I know I couldn’t.

So how do we support these people?

Our first port of call would be to remove pressure to fit in socially and celebrate the skills of someone with Aspergers.

A different kind of conditioning perhaps?

Give a man with Aspergers a job stacking shelves? Driving a delivery van?

What kind of input is that for a super computer?

Got one at home?

So here is a question for you/he/she to ponder…

How does a person with paralysis from the neck down experience emotions?

I am in what is essentially a field.
I have paid £20 to sit here.
Hewn from the hillside is a dirt track.

My son Brandon, is racing up and down the hill on the Honda XR80 I attracted.
It was one of those intuition things.
I was looking for a bike for him on eBay and was drawn to a local sale for a larger bike.

I had a feeling a bit like when something is on the tip of your Tongue and can’t be recalled, except this was a new thought.
Something I hadn’t said before.
Something I was creating.

There has to be an old Honda locally, I had thought.
Better to spend £200 on an old reliable Honda than a modern Chinese thing that will break.
I have had enough of those.

When I looked at the photos, there was the Honda, just visible, tucked away under a tarpaulin.
It was local and exactly what I wanted for him.
I emailed the seller and they still had it.
He was planning to list it on eBay but hadn’t got round to it.
So we agreed on £60.

With a little work it is the perfect bike for Brandon.
I had the parts needed to get it going and it didn’t take long.
So here I am in a field.
Roasting in the sun.
Watching Brandon learn to ride a motorbike the way I did.
By doing it!

I’ve woken this morning nursing a slowly churning stomach.
I dreamed about a girl called Jo.

I was in a house with my old friend Mark Stubbs.
We were preparing for her arrival.
She was a TV presenter in the dream.
She was to be an important guest.
She was also my ex-girlfriend, yet I told no-one.

I was charging around being very domesticated with a hoover.
She arrived.

I didn’t see her face, she was driving a huge baby blue American truck.
She was actually a character from my past.

Then I remembered calling her.
She had gone to Scotland with a friend.
This guy lived upstairs from her Finsbury Park apartment.
They had been camping or to a festival.
It was arranged before we started dating.

I remember being anxious about it before she went.
I was worried she would sleep with the guy.
I wanted to be cool.
So I said nothing.

When she came back I called her.
She was on the phone, gushing with excitement.
“I can’t go out with you any more” I said.
I knew it was the wrong decision.
I felt it in my stomach.

“Why not”, she wanted a reason… “Please tell me why”?

I couldn’t.

She was my best friends girl.

I had cheekily asked for her number, then worse, called her and invited her out behind his back.
Then I stole her from him.

Because of my own insecurities, I was afraid anyone else could do the same to me.
My anxiety was, she would sleep with anyone.

Maybe she did?
Later it caused the death of my friend.

So what is this feeling?

Am I still anxious, or is it guilt?

I watched YES MAN the other night.

It is beautifully put together and the portrayal of romance in the film is almost perfect.
Life isn’t like that!

In the film, Carl Allen makes a covenant with Terrence Bundley, a guy who runs seminars to teach people to say YES to life.
Carl agrees to say YES to everything.
Carl believes if he says no, bad things will befall him.

It reminds me of Landmark Education.
There is a part of a Landmark course around incompletions.
We were encouraged to find people from our past and apologise to them.
If they are dead, you write them a letter to complete.
Everything left unsaid is said.
If you don’t do it, you are stuck with the incompletion forever.
Another covenant perhaps?
Get it complete or bad feelings will befall you.

Even if I had Jo sitting in front of me right now, I wouldn’t know where to start.
Nothing left unsaid? I can’t even remember it all now.
She was outgoing, I was an anxious wreck.

My best friend is dead, I once wrote him a letter.
So why the slowly churning stomach.
Is there still an incompletion?
Of course there is.

But, does every incompletion constitute repeated contemplation on the matter?
Perhaps it is time to break the covenant I made with Landmark.

Perhaps it is time to say I am not proud of what I did, but it is in the past.
It is my history and it does not make me who I am.
I am not the sum of my past actions.
I am free.
I am creating myself from my future actions and intentions.
Right here, right now.

So do I need to find Jo and explain?
Even in my dreams?
Can I cure my churning stomach?
You bet I can.
I can have a nice cup of tea and smile at the memory.

See you on the other side of the looking glass,

I had an amazing revelation this evening, I am free.

I can do what the hell I like and I will still be accepted.
I don’t have to struggle to fit in.
I actually have total freedom from all aspects of society by simple virtue of the fact I don’t quite fit in and have an explanation as to why.
It means I have the wild card in the pack, I can be anyone I want to be and more.
A golden ticket to be, do or have anything I want to.

This evening I remembered all the mad people I have known along the way.
The schizophrenics, the bi-polar, the damaged and derelict.
They all have something in common.
They all know who they are.

I am far from damaged or derelict, however I do have one massive advantage over most of humanity.
I am no longer seeking.
I know who I am.

I spent years trying to figure out where I fitted into the grand scheme of things.
Years failing at being something other than who I am now.
Years trying to graduate from a blatantly ridiculous education system.
Years trying to find friends, a job, a life.
I was a square peg in a round hole.

I am about a third of the way through my life now (I am 46).
And I am lucky enough to have figured all this out, so the next 92 years will be fruitful and fulfilling ones.
Simply put, I am now a square peg in a square hole.

Where I was bewildered by my inability to function socially I am now mildly amused by it.
I don’t care about social boundaries, I no longer find it upsetting that I don’t understand them.
Not having them is fun, great fun!

Okay, I might look uncomfortable at your function if I am too polite to tell you I am bored.
Within my own skin, I am perfectly happy.

Life has a funny way of turning out.
Apparently, awareness of self is an important turning point on the path to higher consciousness.
What I wonder is, if there is more about us the same than is different, how far apart we really are?

I am having considerable difficulty with the final edit of my book and my computer is roaring hot. So I stopped writing two hours ago and started listening.

I have been listening to Todd Silva’s story on Law Of Attraction talk radio http://lawofattracttalkradio.com/toddsilva.html

Todd Silva’s take on money is to give it away.

A dollar a day.

Check out his web site http://giveawayadollaraday.com

His take on the paradox of giving and receiving is also really interesting.

His attention is on giving and he explains beautifully what goes wrong for people who focus on their own lack and block their money energy.

The whole give a dollar a day away thing reminds me of a time in New York.

Back when I was working with Duran Duran, I went out for Korean Barbecue with friends. When we left the restaurant, I suddenly took it upon myself to start handing money out. I was trying to stuff money in this young girl’s ruck sack, only she thought I was trying to rob her.

She was running down the street followed closely by me stuffing a five-dollar bill in her bag. I achieved my objective and sauntered back to where we were trying to hail a taxi. The girl stood some distance away checking her bag and eventually pulled out the five-dollar bill. She had this look on her face, which was either shock or surprise.

So why was I doing this?

I had been speaking with the guys I was at dinner with about the Landmark Education Money Seminar.

The seminars are in ten parts and take place once a week. There was a homework exercise on the seminar one week where you have to give money away. You get to choose the amount and who you give it to. It cannot be someone you owe money to. You are not allowed to explain why.

I did my usual. “This will be easy” I thought. For a whole week, no opportunity presented itself and I found myself on the way to the seminar not having done the homework.

I was late and driving a really beaten up red Citroen 2CV. I screeched to a halt at a bus stop and leapt from the car waving a ten-pound note at a man and saying, “can I give you this please”.

Like the girl in New York, the guy was really freaked out and started shouting “no, get away from me”.

I explained it was real money and he was having none of it.

An older couple who had been watching also refused.

Finally a guy standing with his wife piped up “can I have it” to which I responded “yes, thanks, thanks, thank you very much” and as I leapt back in the car I noticed him inspecting it to see if it was real.

I totally understand why Todd gives money anonymously!

My blog and my podcast are designed to make people think. I ask a lot of questions, play devils advocate and unravel my own belief systems, even unravel beliefs about my beliefs.

My book on the other hand answers some of the questions in life.

I have finished writing my book and it will be published in a few days and unlike my blog, you will have to pay for it.

In some sense, Todd’s websites are about shifting belief.

And it’s got me thinking, perhaps I should be giving you the answers in my blog and charging you for a book full of questions?

Or maybe my true vocation is asking questions?

In which case, buy the book to show me your support and continue to get the value of the blog for free :)

See you on the other side of the looking glass,

Mark Ty-Wharton.
