These articles, essays and letters are designed to help point the reader toward Possibility (and away from impossibility).

‘Through our own recovered innocence, we discern the innocence of our neighbours.’ Henry David Thoreau Derick died as he lived – unaware of his inner world of Possibility. His mother was an alcoholic, depressed, angry and saw herself as a victim. His father worked hard,… Read More
From Dean G.: ‘What exactly do you mean by “Thought” with a Capital “T” (as opposed to “thought” with a small “t”)? I am assuming it’s beyond the purely grammatical? I do have your book, but am interested to hear it fresh from the source if you have time. It… Read More
