Somewhere inside I am alive. I am switched on, a being with boundless and infinite energy.
It is called spirit, we all have one and we kill it, then in turn we search for life eternal.
That ancient metaphor, the riddle of self since time (or language) began.
What turns you on? Lights you up? Rocks your boat?
There are moments in life when your true nature is revealed to you, the good life, the moments you wish you could live forever, if only.
If there were a way to permanently tap into this energy source without having to be in one of those moments would you take it?
If you could have the boundless energy of being even in your darkest moments would you choose it?
If the answer were simple and I could tell you what to do in one sentence would you do it?
My interest in self development has always been about finding inner peace.
Then a couple of years back, I started to get frustrated about the way I handle money.
I looked at money and money gurus.
I realised I hated people with money. They were bad people. Then I looked at a list of the richest people and found out the people I hated were doing a lot of good in the world. It was a nice thing to find out, though nothing changed in my personal circumstances.
I was in the bath earlier listening to an audio book. The author suggested we form our opinions when we are little children (by the time we are six) and they stay with us for life.
Great, I thought. So how could I apply that to money?
As I lay there in the bath an image popped into my head of me sitting on a swing in my childhood garden with a tin box on my knees. I am six years old. It is an image I have often recalled when trying to decode money issues.
In the box I have some money. A ten shilling note and a fifty pence piece. I am wondering over the shape of the freshly minted coin. It is not a hexagon or an octagon, it has seven sides. I often tell people the story. It’s quite a magical memory. But wait, I have left something out.
In the box is a book. The book has printed columns and I have carefully worked out how much money is in the box. The columns relate to pounds, shillings and pennies. I am the ONLY boy in my class who can do this.
There are twelve pennies in a shilling and twenty shillings in one pound. I had also finally figured out the meaning of a guinea, twenty one shillings. It had taken a long time to learn all this and it is very complicated. I even knew the relationship between crowns, half crowns, florins, sixpences and threepenny bits.
As I recall all this I am aware of a huge and overwhelming disappointment. It lives in me now like a “what’s the point” an absolute hatred, like a “have to” do. And I don’t want to, it ruins everything!
With pounds, shillings and pennies (L s d) I got to be brilliant. And here was a new shiny fifty pence piece. And with it, a new system. A hundred pence in a pound. Ten shillings (one hundred and twenty pennies) equals fifty pence. No more “If Tom buys five apples for threepence and Mary has a shilling, how much change will Jack have from a crown?”
I hated the new system, plain and simple. I had spent hours on the old system and now it seemed I had completely wasted my time. What was the point?
I was a very clever boy and could show how clever I was with money. Nobody else understood it. And THEY had ruined it!
Any idiot can add up base 10. Really!
What’s the point!!!
THAT feeling, associated with money?
I got…
I HATE MONEY

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.

In a recent phone call I explained “before I did the Landmark Forum my thoughts occurred like I was walking down Oxford Street with a crowd bustling around me.
Now I have done the Landmark Forum I have an experience of thoughts occurring as if in a vast cavernous library”.
It is silent in my head right now.
From time to time I have a thought and it’s like “whoa, who was that?” or just “shhhhhhhhhhhh, you’re spoiling the silence”.
It’s so much fun in my head right now, in sharp contrast to the racing negative thoughts that were dominating my life just weeks ago.
If you attend an introduction evening for the Landmark Forum, you will learn an exercise. The seminar leader will draw a big pie on a whiteboard and divide it up. He talks about “What you don’t know, you don’t know”.
If I turn that on its head for a moment, I have learned I didn’t know that I didn’t know what other people are thinking.
I would have opinions about why other people did stuff. A whole managery of information about reasons for this and that buzzing in my head. Reasons for reasons for reasons.
Having realised it serves no purpose whatever to do it, my brain just switched the function off. Gone!
The result, almost total silence.
I guess in the seventies, the East would have sold this “state” or “space” to LSD culture as enlightenment.
In 2010 Landmark’s upsell of Werner Erhard’s original EST delivers something else.
If Bhudda were alive today

Something I have learned about myself in the past week or so.
Life is about possibility. Without me, there may never be a Transport
Museum in Biggleswade. In fact at the moment there is no museum at
all. Sure lots of people are having conversations about it, yet nobody
is really doing anything. The focus seems to be on what is not
possible rather than creating a possible outcome then taking actions
consistent with having such a place become a reality.
So what am I doing?
I am introducing myself as a new conversation about museums in
Biggleswade. I have captured the interest of a friend with an
engineering works who can also see it’s possible.
And as the man with the idea, I am the first point of contact. While I
see myself as the founder not the owner, I actually want to create it
so it lives on without me, way beyond my lifetime.
At this present point in time, there is nothing. The museum exists in
my mind and in a conversation I had with a friend. Unless my friend
sees it as possible, the conversation will die. I need to be
responsible for creating the museum in conversation such that my
friend “gets it” and continues to see its potential. Right here, right
now, “I” am the museum.
By making my life work, I am making the museum work. So coming from a
place where there is a museum, what steps do I need to take to get
there?
I recognise I need to operate from a solid base. If my life is in
chaos, I will occur to others as chaotic. People, out there in the
world need to get that this is happening.
So, in doing the housework I am taking the first steps towards
creating a solid foundation for a transport museum.
By managing my breathing, anxiety, panic attacks and subsequent
depression, I am creating the possibility of exemplary customer
service.
I see the world winding down for Christmas and realise I am starting
this project at the perfect time of year.
By the time I have my presentations ready, the local community will be
saying their New Year resolutions and being positive.
Launching ideas on a wave of enthusiasm can only serve the autistic
community I wish to provide employment opportunities for more fully.
This is where the true magic starts, right here, right now!

Wow…
I discovered something that terrifies me and I made the fear part disappear on my Landmark Forum.
When I am at home I talk out loud at pretty much anything and everything.
My inner dialog is external for the kettle, the toaster and everything else.
I discovered from time to time I speak out loud in public, if I am really focusing on something.
It is very common for people with Aspergers to grunt or make strange noises. My grunts come in the form of sentences from time to time.
The fear lives in “what If” as in “what if I speak my negative inner dialogues out loud”.
Like “I hate those shoes” or “she’s got a big bum” or worse.
Up until now i just went into anxiety and panic attacks at the mere thought of it. And while I love being in the machinery of my mind, I would space out instead, as well as avoid breathing so I didn’t have to deal with it.
Today I let go of the fear.
What seems to have happened is, instead of straining to keep myself quiet, I am allowing myself to just be with it.
For me, it meant “I am mad” and I was desperate to control it. And in reality I actually say some fairly sane stuff.
As a commitment to my acceptance of my inner, sometimes unintentional outer voice, I am going to clean up my act.
From now on to eternity, I choose to mention at least one positive thing in my inner dialog, about every individual who comes into my space.
And if I happen to mention your big bum out loud, you might want to consider it is only my opinion.

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
I am on an adventure.
For the first time in years I got up at 06:00am to the sound of a distant rooster.
A perfect blues song maybe?
I know all about blues, and I am angry as foolish about my life.
I boarded the 07:07am train for Kings Cross London, in the dark and in thick fog.
As the day wakes up around me, my fellow travellers sleep or bicker and complain about their lives.
I can’t claim “not” to be programmed, it is a part of the human condition.
Except, I know I am programmed by my environment and choose (where possible) what I am influenced by.
People are talking about what was on TV last night.
I don’t have one!
People are buried wide eyed in their newspapers.
On their way to work.
I am on my way to a large group awareness training seminar.
My input for the day so far has been Pat O’Bryan’s blog.
I really like what Pat O’Bryan has to say about James A Ray.
The seminar I am attending was designed by Werner Erhard.
Werner is probably responsible for the
Werner’s work IS in everything and yet?
The man is still hounded and vilified for his brilliance.
Wish me luck in my philosophical enquiry into my anger!

Over the course of the past two years, I have been reading at an increasing distance.
About two years ago I had a horrific virus in both eyes and at the time was tested and shown to have 20/20 vision.
I now hold books at mid arm length to have the text in focus.
I decided to book an eye test.
I was a little shocked to find my eyesight has deteriorated by a full point in the elderly direction.
Even more shocked to find it is an age thing, that at age 45 eyes start to change.
I just invested £180 in my future clarity of vision.
My glasses will be ready in a week.
Time to book another photo shoot with Tim Rosier perhaps?
See you on the other side of the looking glass,
Literally perhaps?
