Learn How I Transformed My Life
and Became a Spiritual Teacher!

It's interesting…as I sit here to write a biography for the visitors to my website, I realize I have no interest in my past. At the age of 65 and after spending the last three decades committed to my personal and spiritual development, I realize that all that I want to be and all that I was, has now disappeared into the present moment, with my future and past of little interest or significance.

However I will do my best to recall my past so that I can communicate to you what has made me into the person I am today.

I had quite a promising start in life. Born into a stable family background in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and given a first class private education, my future seems bright and assured. I started out in life following my dream of being an architect and went to architecture school in Nottingham University in England.

I was one of the most promising students until I was rudely awakened from my middle-class privileged state of hypnotic slumber, in the form of a life changing event, the onset of paranoid schizophrenia, an incurable and serious mental condition that was prevalent on both sides of my extended family. This was my wake up call. I did not know it at the time, it just seemed like an unsought unfortunate happening that was undermining my youthful exuberance and ambition.

The advent of mental illness

I went through a mental breakdown, spent some time in a mental hospital in Belfast and took a year off from my studies eventually returning to my architecture course. But I was a different person, I was more mature, less sure about everything and I had changed - instead of the cocky “A” student, I now struggled to pass any of my remaining exams.

I scraped through with my degree and applied for jobs. Any job I got I was unable to hold, because I could not perform at the required pace or standard. Then at the age of 30, after going off my medication, the condition kicked in again. I spent two years lost in what could only be explained as a state of insanity. For example, instead of cycling down a public road, I would freewheel in circles down the road oblivious to the danger I was putting myself and other road users in. I occupied myself with designing hang-gliders and putting the designs up on the walls of the house. These designs were irrational nonsense of no practical or aesthetic value.

After these two years my family managed to get me to take my medication again, and so I returned to the mental hospital to recover and gather my strength. Phew! After three weeks in hospital my consultant psychiatrist asked for a meeting. At the meeting he told me to stay on the medication which would help keep me mentally stable but to be aware that I would “probably never work again.”

I was then discharged to my parent’s home. That evening, I was sitting thinking about my stay in Winsor House and on the devastating prognosis delivered by my psychiatrist. Then my mind started to go into overdrive...

“If I could never work again I would have to give up my promising career. If I couldn’t have my career as an architect, I wouldn’t have any money. If I didn’t have any money I would never be able to own my own home. If I couldn’t own my own home I would never be able to get married. If I couldn’t get married I’d never be able to have a loving family.”

My mind accelerated into a downward negative spiral, and emotionally I was overwhelmed by an intense rage, which ended a week later in powerful self destructive thoughts. I was taken back to Winsor House, in an ambulance. This time I was diagnosed with acute depression alongside suicidal ideation. I now had two mental conditions instead of one and was a complete mess.

In the hospital I tried to shake off those suicidal impulses, but try as I might they would not leave. I was so stressed I could not sleep, was eating uncontrollably and was pulling out much of my hair. After three months the doctors gave up on me and I was released back into my own home to live alone with my suicidal thoughts in a war zone in Belfast. Unbeknown to me my parents were told to stay away.

I then spent about 18 months living alone in my home in an extremely distressed state. Most days I would get up and think of how I could end my life. For example when I came down for breakfast I would feel an urge to take out the kitchen knife and stab it into me. And when I walked the local bridge over the river Lagan I would feel a strong urge to throw myself off the bridge into the river.

Then my parents eventually decided to take me in and look after me, hoping I would recover enough to be able to live on my own again. I was 32.

Awakening to inner guidance

One day while lying on the couch in my parents living room, fearful and distressed, thinking self destructive thoughts, I realized I could not go through with what these thoughts wanted and so I cried out for help. It was then then a more faint stream of thought appeared into my consciousness. This new stream of thought said, “If you are ever going to get out of this situation, you are going to have to stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about someone else.” This stream of what I now know was inspired thought, then guided me to get a part-time job as a volunteer in a charity shop.

I don’t know if you have ever been extremely depressed, but it is a huge ask to get from where I was, lying on that couch every day, to working part-time in a charity shop. However by learning to trust, listen to and follow what I now know was my inner guidance, I managed to get a part-time voluntary job in an Oxfam second hand furniture shop in Belfast city centre.

This was the start of my relationship with my inner guidance - a relationship which was to completely transform my life.

Getting back into society

When I worked behind the till, my inner guidance suggested that even though I felt terrible that I be the life and soul of the shop, by making jokes and bringing fun to the customers. Then when in my home, I read self help books to learn about my inner world, and began experimenting with feeling the emotional pain I had bottled up inside. In so doing, I started a process of pain release and psychological integration that was to continue intermittently, and with varying levels of intensity, until my spiritual awakening 30 years later.

Gradually, after a few years I noticed a marked improvement. Then I was guided to work upstairs as a full time volunteer in the office. While working in the Oxfam office I was guided inwardly to take on certain tasks to help support the charity. I ran a number of successful fundraising ventures and ended up creating and running The Milkman’s Appeal. This raised more money for Oxfam in N. Ireland than any other event in their history.

It was so successful it was featured on stage at a theatre in Belfast. I was invited along to sit in the audience. When the big check was presented to the head of Oxfam I noticed that I had a big smile on my face and with tears in my eyes I realised that this was not a pretend smile, it was genuine, and that I had been healed of my depression!

Shortly after this event, I realised it was time to move on and so I set myself up as a business consultant, using the creative skills I had learned as an architect and in Oxfam. I also had a huge spiritual opening experience in a local park, which opened me up spiritually to my inspiration and as a result of that started and wrote my first book, Unfold Your Wings and Watch Life Take Off - a book about how to live from your inner guidance.

Then as I was writing this book I was guided to help a friend set up a dating agency for spiritual people. As a thank you he gave me free membership. Through that agency I met the woman who was to become my wife and soulmate and I moved to Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, to get married and move into Carolyn’s house.

So all the beliefs I had when I was stressed and unwell that I would not be able to get married and have a house were over-turned and came true in the most surprising of ways!

A new life in Dublin

When I arrived in Dublin I needed to start over so I set myself up as a life coach. The problem I had was that although I loved the work, I struggled with having enough energy. My energy levels were so depleted from my schizophrenia that after one hour of face to face coaching, I had to take two days off to recover. This wasn’t a practical way to live.

Since I had a Spiritual Master in India, and did not know what to do, I wrote to him asking for help. Later that day, while sitting quietly at home, I received huge inspiration to be a life coach on the internet. I went up to my computer straight away, put in "self help emagazine" and uncharacteristically, without doing any research, wrote to the person who published the 5th eMagazine on the list.

After I revisited my computer that evening, there was an email from Peter Shepherd, inviting me to be the life coach on his eMagazine, one of the biggest and most successful on the internet.

Interestingly after a few days I received an email from my friend who was staying in the ashram. He said he had taken my email requesting guidance into the temple. That morning when my spiritual master entered the hall, he sent his assistant deep into the 3,000 crowd of people to collect my email and bring it to him. My friend discovered afterwards that this was a sign that my wish had been granted!

Getting Down to Work

As part of my work for our website, I took on the task of answering queries sent in by readers of our online magazine, which was emailed to 80,000 subscribers every week. Peter and I collected all these queries and my answers and cataloged them under different headings of life challenge on Trans4mind. Then one day I received powerful inspiration to offer a training course on each of these life challenges.

The training, on the 29 biggest life challenges, was developed by Peter and myself over the Internet (Peter lives in France) and then I personally presented the workshops in Dublin City Center. During this time, as well as running the workshops in the evening, I was working on an independent business project.

After two years offering the training successfully I felt drawn to review everything. As part of my review I prayed earnestly for direction and in the prayer state I was surprised to hear a discarnate voice speak to me. It said, “You can do what you like in the world of business, but you will not make a single cent!” In the prayer state I then asked what I was to do? The voice came back and said with unmistakable authority, “You are to awaken people spiritually.” I was shocked both at hearing a discarnate voice speak to me and at its instruction, because I was in considerable debt at the time, and awakening people spiritually is not considered a lucrative occupation!

So I asked this mysterious voice in the prayer state, “How am I to pay off my debts doing that?” The voice never came back. However I arose from that prayer session with a new inspiring energy and went back into my everyday life.

But things had changed. I was now being guided from within more clearly.

Healing From a Supposedly Incurable Condition

Shortly after this Divine encounter I saw a business card for a spiritual healer lying on our kitchen table. I had no idea how it had got there but I knew I had to go and see that healer.

On visiting the healer she took me down to the bottom of her garden and into a beautifully decorated yet modest timber shed, her healing space, and invited me to lie on the plinth. She stood at my head and held her hands on either side in silence - never actually touching me. Then after 40 minutes she told me about 4 past lives, and asked me if I wanted to release the karma from each life. I replied that I did. Then at the end of the healing session she said the angels in heaven were rejoicing because of all the good I would do in the world. She then sat down exhausted saying it was the most powerful healing session she had ever had.

When I went back to work, I realised that I now had about 4 times more energy than before. For example, due to this healing from the effects of living with schizophrenia, I no longer needed to take breaks and go and lie down when out at social gatherings and I could work closer to a full day provided I took it at a gentle pace. So I took up my project with Peter, with increased enthusiasm.

Peter and I realised, partly as a result of the feedback we were getting, that the 29 life challenges that we trained people in actually represented the human condition. We suddenly saw that we had a curriculum of potential online workshops that were based on our primary research and that, as a consequence, formed a complete training curriculum in every major challenge a person could experience.

So Peter and I formed a company with the last €60,000 we owned and employed the services of a business consultant, to be able to present the training on a wider scale. I could see from conversations I had with her that we were going to need to invest a lot more than the €60,000 we had already committed so I employed her to help me create a great presentation for an investor.

I then phoned a friend who I knew had a significant sum invested in banks and I also knew he did not particularly like banks. So I phoned him up and asked him if he was willing to hear an investment proposal. He said he would. So I booked the best presentation room in the best hotel in Belfast and travelled North to present my business proposal. At the end of the presentation he jumped to his feet and said “That’s the best investment proposal I have ever heard and do you want me to invest now!”

Building a Revolutionary New Kind of Company Designed to be a Leading Light for the 21st Century

That evening I drove back to Dublin with the funding to start our company: Trans4mind Ltd and our project Trans4mind Training. Other investors followed and asked if they could invest. Then through working with the business consultant, I realised we would need a big team to create the 29 online video workshops and the associated training platform. I used spiritual intelligence to assemble this expert team of 18 people without any help from LinkedIn, advertising or publicity and financed the company without any venture capital, bank loans or grant funding. This meant we were free to focus all our efforts on building the training product without getting sidetracked into looking for staff or funding.

Using spiritual intelligence, I only appointed people who were were 100% aligned with our vision and mission. This included outlier services like solicitors and accountants. I then invited my business partner over from France and ran a purpose designed training weekend to ensure the company team and investors, were immersed in our vision and mission and trained in our new creative approach. I then ran the company from our company offices in The Synergy Centre, on what is now the Dublin Technical University Campus, allowing the staff to work from wherever they wished and whenever they wished, (this was a number of years before Covid 19 and the advent of home working).

Then I ran the company as CEO, without the need for goal setting, key performance indicators, business planning or performance review meetings. I took up a permanent working location in the company office and the other people came and went as they wished, organising and attending key meetings. I was on hand if needed to give my opinion or to make a decision. I spent most of my time relaxing in the company office sitting on a settee, and looking wistfully out the big office window, watching the different kinds of birds land on the lawn, gazing absentmindedly at the trees in the distance.

Even through I was very sensitive to stress because of my schizophrenia, I used this approach to built the company with a complete absence of stress. This meant I was able to rise above the prediction of my psychiatrist 25 years earlier, that I would "probably never work again." It was the most creative time in my life and it was effortless!

Our online training is designed to take people to that place of zero stress which we call unshakable inner peace. We also developed an online service for measuring how closely people come to unshakable inner peace as they progress with our online training. This scientific approach means people not only solve their personal and professional challenges as a result of our training, they also feel better and understand why these improvements are happening.

After 2 years we had the business built and began taking it to market. We tried a number of markets with varying levels of success when I was approached by our Chief Technical Officer who asked for a private meeting. At the meeting I asked “What’s up?” Aidan said, “The problem with this company is you Wallace. You’re too kind, you’re too compassionate, you’ve no guile or cunning. You’re a very innocent man and other CEOs feel uncomfortable around you. This means they don’t want to do business with us.” He then talked for an hour and made the case for him to run the company.

I listened intently and carefully to everything he was saying, then asked for 3 minutes to walk around the building. When I came back into our office I said, “That’s the best explanation of a business situation I’ve ever heard Aidan. From now on you are running Trans4mind Training” and packed up my belongings and left. I was able to take such a big and unusual decision so quickly because by now I was completely trusting of my inner guidance.

I then spent 3 weeks at home without any direction or purpose. Then Carolyn my wife said we had been offered the use of her brother’s holiday home in Wicklow and did I want to go? I jumped at the opportunity.

All comes together

Then that weekend in the rural holiday home I had a huge Spiritual Awakening, the biggest experience of my life. I realised that what had happened as a result of this Awakening, was that my spiritual energy had been activated and I had come into complete alignment with my True Self, a unique Self most people do not even know is inside them because it's covered over with a lifetime of conditioning. As a result I felt lost and disorientated for about 6 months.

After this 6 month period my business partner Peter offered to do the technical work to set me up with my own website as a Spiritual Teacher. Initially I was shy of the idea, but after I sat with his suggestion for a month, I remembered the guidance I was given in the prayer state 10 years earlier about awakening people spiritually, and realised this was the right next step for me. Although it felt like a big responsibility, it also felt absolutely right. So I fairly quickly built the website with Peter and then gradually allowed myself to settle into my new role as a Spiritual Teacher.

Shortly after setting myself up as a Spiritual Teacher, Aidan died unexpectedly. However all the resources of Trans4mind Training were made available to my Spiritual Teacher service and built into a Spiritual Path. This Path takes people on a journey from the earliest stirrings of awareness all the way to enlightenment through the stages of personal and spiritual development.

So now I am an established Spiritual Teacher, who is at the center of a movement, who lets himself be discovered by people who are ready - a Teacher with world class resources and trainings to back up and support my teaching!

My wife often says “Life has a funny way of working out.” Now I know what she means!

If you would like to learn more about what I can offer, look though this website for references to my Spiritual Path and you will discover all that is available to you.

I look forward to serving you as your Spiritual Teacher.
