Behind the scenes
I am a person who has spent a great deal of life on my knees, though not in prayer. I do not say this last pridefully, but with the feeling that the posture, if not the thought behind it, may have had some salutary effect
I have crawled most of my way through life. By this, I mean, without true awareness. Without a clear perspective, it has not been possible to stand on two feet
I have crawled downward into holes without a bottom, through despair and the blackness of depression and loneliness, clutching a coldness and familiarity that gnaws at everything. I have crawled upward, sometimes wedged in tight places, stuck and struck by the simplicity and ease of it all, but empty of any real vantage, sense of purpose, joy and/or satisfaction
I know now, there is no such thing as wisdom. A head full of knowledge and experiences means nothing. I have learned this with my face planted against the ground or pointed longingly, into the nothingness of the surrounding air
The nature of existence can be a very difficult thing to grasp
To cease searching, any sense that who I am is who I am, created years ago with onset of language, and an absence of maturity to clearly understand. Well over a hundred years ago Kierkegaard observed that real living consists in the discovery that “there comes a critical moment where everything is reversed, after which the point becomes to understand more and more that there is something which cannot be understood”. Ending looking forward, or back, hankering-after control, certainty, security. Twitching and scratching like a drug addict, desperate for a fix that cannot last
For important context, perhaps the most moving death soliloquy in cinematic history is delivered by the doomed Rutger Hauer character, Roy Batty, in the 1982 Ridley Scott film Blade Runner
The sequence occurs during a heavy downpour moments before Batty’s own death. Known as “Tears in the rain” the speech reflects the poignancy, fragility and fleeting nature of existence
Life unfolds in all sorts of ways, highs and lows, twists and turns. Events, no matter how disruptive or painful at the time, can bring defining consciousness that money can’t buy
In the bleak wet of night, Batty cries-out defiantly and triumphantly: “I’ve seen things” emphasisng a timeless and universal sense of knowing that only years of experience and insight can provide
Having worked extensively, internationally and domestically, in leadership and personal development, dealing-with complex issues, interests and intrigue, challenges, trials and tribulations, and lots of “different people”…. “I have seen things”
While on occasions there have been floods of “tears in the rain” the result is developing a unique, captivating, down-to-earth approach, unsurpassed anywhere in the world, combining the “art” and “science” of high performance and effectiveness; a joining that can only come from deep learning, practice and a profound understanding
People I work with gain an immediate and real benefit. Underpinned by the elegant, unsurpassed design and technology of Mundamutti Mastery, individuals grow enormously:

Highly skilled in many disciplines, is one of the aspects, that make Mundamutti Mastery so effective. So too, is unique capability, derived from diverse background, and training:
- Held line positions in a variety of industries including oil, securities and funds management, property development, farming and small business, holiday resort management, while extensive role in organisational and leadership consulting, brought even wider exposure, and experience
- Of note year’s of study and research as a student of observation and life, matched with an “eclectic-combo” of academic qualifications, including an MBA; a Graduate Diploma from the Securities Institute of Australia; a Graduate Diploma of Counseling Psychology, a Graduate Diploma of Humanities and Social Sciences (Psychology) and a Bachelor of Science with Honours. Also a Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and, trained to the level of master practitioner in neuro-linguistic programing; and, as a Six Sigma Black Belt.

All of this makes for a vibrant, colourful tapestry of competencies, and wherewithal, that have been carefully crafted together, to produce a premium learning outcome. Results spring from a wealth of experience, ages of it, compassion, and at root an inconsolable devotion to transformation, ending suffering and real living; which gives a certain fatalism to everything I do
Combined with a very practical, sophisticated, solution-focused style…. enduring like Mundamutti, Mildura, Australia
