Originally from New Zealand where I studied industrial arts and lived for the first 26 years of my life, in January 1967 I moved to the UK and spent a year studying the human condition. From 1968 I spent 8 years on a research ship, investigating ancient civilizations for a while and helping with research into the human condition and into life itself - and applying developed-solutions to others. I then toured the world for a year making these discoveries known in 12 different countries and in 1975 settled in the USA, first in Florida for 8 years where I continued the same work. In 1983 it was a cross-country tour to Hollywood and the beginning of a career sharing my knowledge of life and living with others. I have written poetry and stories, painted and drawn since a very young boy. Some years back now, I combined my knowledge of the essence of life with my poetry, developing a new umbrella genre, which I term "Spiritive", having the definition: "non-religious celebration of the spirit" - both name and definition are trademarked with permission to use provided the rules for the genre are followed. The rules for the genre are on my website page http://www.Past-Life-Test.com/spiritive.html
