Stuart Wilde?

Has anyone heard of Stuart Wilde and is anyone familiar with his work?
He claims that there is a mirror world, and that there is a 'Morph' coming down all around us, if we just take time to notice. He claims when you start to see it, it's in the form of dry rain, like in the Matrix movie.
Funny, i have yet to hear or read about this phenomenon from any other spirtual groups or people. Is he an isolated case? Or is he the subject of mind manipulation via the use of HAARP?
Feedback anyone?

That's rather interesting, since I started the New energy ways a few years ago, sometimes I get into a state of mind when I can see millions of fuzzy, flying specs of light sporadically zipping around all over the place. Kinda reminded me of rain actually, recently I've been seeing it more often, and the "grains" or whatever is becoming clearer and more noticeable. Sometimes now there are also wisps of light and weird orbs that seem to pulsate and "morph" in and out of reality...
If anyone knows what this phenomenon might be, I'd appreciate some feedback.
I'll check out the website, thanks.

Don't know about "mirror world" idea (there are lot of ideas concurning mirror or parallel worlds), but I am familiar with this "Morph". Never saw it with 3d eyes, but perceive it clearly by "inner eyes" so to say. Actually feel and "see" them everytime I consentrate or meditate. It seems that they are everywhere and all the time. Sometimes noticed that their number increases when there is a stong geomagnetic storm, and this fact creates some sort of "interference". Like noise when you try to tune the radio. On the other hand, I have a feeling that they also have another "role". I am going to make a wild speculation, so scientists, please do not execute me on a main square. It's just a thought. :)

I speculate that those are the "invisible" particles like neutrinos or "predicted but still not detected" higgs.

Take a look at this transcript:

(L) Moving along to the next question: we have been discussing memories and how
memories of, say, past lives are stored, and that leads to the question of what is the structure and composition of the soul? How does the soul remember? How does it carry its memories from lifetime to lifetime, from body to body, whether simultaneous or sequential? How does the soul "store" them?
A: Has to do with atomic principles. These with gravity present the borderland for the material and the nonmaterial. Which theoretical atomic particulates would you think form the basis here?
Q: (L) How about tachyons?
A: Maybe neutrons?
Q: (A) Neutrons? Or neutrinos?
A: Neutrinos.
Q: (A) Well, first they say neutrons, then neutrinos. Or "maybe neutrons." I say "neutrinos" and they say "yes." So a "maybe" is only a pointer. Neutrinos are funny particles because they are mass less. But, some people don't believe that neutrinos exist. My guess would be neutrinos. Do they exist?
A: Okay, we are going to throw caution to the "winds," and say yes. [Laughter.]
Q: (L) In terms of these neutrinos and soul composition, how are memories formed or held or patterned with these neutrinos?
A: Contained within for release when and if suitable.
Q: (L) Memories are contained within the neutrinos?
A: Sort of.
Q: (L) Are they contained within patterns formed by the neutrinos?
A: Closer.
Q: (L) So, that means that if one "consciousness unit," or soul, has more memories or experiences than another
consciousness unit, it would have more neutrinos?
A: No.
Q: (B) Different patterns?
A: No.
Q: (L) What's the difference?
A: More data per unit, sort of.
Q: (L) Does that mean that an individual neutrino can be, in and of itself, more "dense" in data, so to speak?
A: So to speak.
Q: (L) Does this increased density of data change the nature or function of the individual neutrino?
A: Maybe it changes the function of the awareness, thus the environs.
Q: (L) Is there a specific number of neutrinos that constitutes a consciousness unit, or soul?
A: Number is not quite the right concept. Orientation is closer.
Q: (L) What are the orientational options?
A: Vibrational frequencies.
Q: (L) Do the vibrational frequencies increase or decrease with density of data?
A: Change; better not to quantify.
Q: (A) We are talking about soul. Soul is what density, in concept?
A: Ark, are neutrinos related to the concept of a bridge into pure energy in some way?
Q: (A) Yes. I was going in that direction. I was wondering why you speak about neutrinos and not photons, because photons are also a bridge to pure energy, I would say. The difference between photons and neutrinos is that photons are bosons and neutrinos are fermions. Neutrinos have to dance so that they don't touch each other. Bosons are like pairs of neutrinos and photons, as bosons, are free to move in space any way they want.

As I said, it's a speculation, but maybe this "morph" act as an imidiate "transmitter" or link of thoughts/ energy in this reality?
There is an assamption (more then assamption?) in quantum physics that every single point in this reality, contain information about all other points.
But how do they connect? And how information "transsmited" from "point to point"? If this rain/morph is the greatest "thought traffic", or actually necessary part of this reality, then it possible that when people have ideas, significant synchronicities, this "morph" have some particular role in this dynamic.
And if some individual have in his soul "more data per unit" he have more "influence" on the transmitted data, like he is "shouting" louder then others and because of that: "heard" more "clearly". But I think that this "morph" don't have a very developed "consciousness", it makes the link, but do not "influence", this is a "role" of thought centers (egregors), like in the analogy of the Internet. Of course - IMHO

I had heard of Stuart Wilde, but not for years. Thought he was one of those go-with-the-flow-style self-help authors promising quick fixes to those feeling vulnerable and out of control -- a purveyor of the "just lay back and let good things happen to you" message. But is there really more to him?

I took a look at his web site and didn't notice anything really interesting. Prominently placed are the self-calming, self-help books, "Miracles," (a very "hooky" title and a synopsis that conveys that you simply deserve good things, though I can't imagine the rationale without reading it), "Life Was Never Meant to be a Struggle," (an authoritative claim that appears to be pretty much the opposite of all the teachings the group here has chosen to study carefully), and "Silent Power" (again, an enticingly hooky, STS-sounding title that might tantalize those feeling weak). The book titles and the marketing bits are all potential red flags to me.

When I read the excerpts, particularly those about the morphing phenomenon that started this thread, I honestly thought it sounded like he was describing hallucinogenic drug trips. Then I read the following excerpt from "Wilde Unplugged."

Mushrooms are one of the most interesting things on the planet. They come up overnight, which tells you something. They are good to eat and some of them are very pretty colors.

Magic mushrooms are very strange. And I've stood in a field of a thousand magic mushrooms, and not been able to see a single one. Then, some children came along and they saw them all, and they picked them. So I followed the children, because children are not stupid, and they gave me the mushrooms. Well, some of them.

I have read over 10,000 books. The greatest literature, the sacred texts, all the modern teachers, some of the ancient ones, the Greeks and so forth, mathematics, cosmology, physics, self-help, gestalt therapy, all of the above. And I learned more in one day on mushrooms than I ever read in a book.

Mushrooms are illegal in most places, because the authorities sure as hell do not want you to figure out what is real and what is not. If you eat mushrooms you better be brave. Because they will show you something that is very spooky which is also very beautiful. Magic mushrooms are God's gift to us lowly humans.

However, I would suggest that you stay away from peyote, because it's a cactus and makes you throw up, and it always comes with a rather dubious Indian gentleman who is rather pompous, and arrogant, and he usually wants something from you.

wilecoyote asked, "Is he an isolated case? Or is he the subject of mind manipulation via the use of HAARP?" Well, anything's possible, but he sounds more like a permanently altered psychedelic 'shroom casualty.

There are many mentions in various Cass articles regarding LSD use by the CIA and others in programming/mind control experiments, and the relationships among behavior-altering drugs, body chemistry, and emotional states. For example:
http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/greenbaum.htm
http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/wave13g.htm

The C's themselves once said that you could access higher levels of physical awareness via drugs, but that it was definitely not a good idea because it throws your psyche out of whack:
...melatonin does not force an alteration in physiological brain chemicals, as do mescaline, peyote, LSD, etc. Accessing the higher levels of psychical awareness through such processes is harmful to the balance levels of the prime chakra. This is because it alters the natural rhythms of psychic development by causing reliance on the part of the subject, thus subjugating the learning process. It is a form of self-imposed abridging of free will.

Stuart's clear promotion of chemically induced hallucinatory experiences suggests that Stuart sympathizes (or maybe sympathized at one time) with the "tune in, turn on, drop out" aesthetic. If you're among those who agree that psychoactive drugs are a way to God, then Stuart could be one of your guys. So, he can see reality morphing. Plenty have informed us that our reality is about to change and that there are many, many precursor signs. Stuart's observations of morphing might just be another valid one, but I don't personally think that's important in itself.

Conversely, I read an excerpt from his book "The Quickening" that seemed to opposed relaxing and dropping out as he advised rolling up your sleeves and getting things done. Maybe someone who's read some of Stuart's work can help boil down his basic message for us.

I read the excerpt from "God's Gladiators" (not sure why he used violent, martial language in the title unless the intent was to attract people who admire those who physically intimidate). Here's a bit of it:

Teachings about reincarnation that say we live one life after the next over eons, suffering pain and confusion until we eventually reach God and nirvana are not really true. I think reincarnation is probably just a spooky idea invented to stall you. To ensure you don't become confident enough to search for the truth.

Click to expand...

Well, that's in line with the apparent premise of his other books, which seems to be that you have it all right now. It's not well explained, though, how believing in reincarnation "stalls" you. For example, the rudimentary reason for religions suppressing the idea of reincarnation seems to be for purposes of control, as in, you've got only one chance to get it right, and we have the answers, so you'd better do what we say or for sure you're going to hell or to dust or whatever. That would seem to be a far more effective means of keeping people from seeking the truth, wouldn't it?

God is right here, not at the end of a journey. You are at the center of everything. There is nowhere to go. You are already there. Reincarnation is celestially geographic. Creation is a hologram. It is everywhere. You are everywhere. Everything and everyone that ever lived is inside you: Hitler, Mother Teresa, Genghis Khan, the greatest creators, the saints, the animal worlds, the plant kingdoms, and so on. They are all within you and you are inside them. You are every thing that ever lived. The Kingdom of God is within you....

Click to expand...

OK, maybe nothing really to disagree with there -- a lot of seekers figure on some variation of most or all of that stuff, but they also figure that we're here as portions of the Creator (or whatever) to experience creation, to acquire knowledge, to learn lessons, and things along those lines. I thought Stuart might state up-front what he thinks we're here for, given his assertions that there is no reincarnation and that everything is an illusion, but it's just not clear what he's thinking. He does not seem to think that there is a long road of learning and struggle at all.

Crop circles are very interesting, and extremely bothersome. They're impossible to understand, unless you can rotate your mind up to another level. The trick is to realize that the circle or pattern on the ground, in the crop, in the field, is only half of the crop circle. The rest of the crop circle is invisible, and is under the ground, in a mirrored world. I can't tell you anymore, because for reasons I can't go into here, I have an edgy feeling the authorities might offer me a bullet in the blinking head if I tell you what the crop circles are really about. I might be wrong but early death is against my religion.

Click to expand...

He seems to be suggesting here that there is a dangerous control system that is violently guarding important secrets (and he seems happy to keep them from his readers). Lots of folks know that, and it's great if Stuart can point that out to the unsuspecting, but is there anything helpful he can tell those of us who have already figured that out? Not sure. Anyone here know?

In an interview with him on page http://www.innerself.com/Commentary/changing.htm, it sounds like he's attributing many of his visions to self-administration of psychoactive chemicals.

Perhaps I could have been more disciplined in my 20s, when I did a lot of drinking and drugs and probably knocked 10 or 20 years off my life. But then again, I had a lot of visions, opened up my consciousness, and came upon a spiritual path as a result of going through those totally crazy years. So I don't think I'd change anything.

Click to expand...

Again, he's chalking up his insight to these drug-induced visions, which, he seems to be conveying, he wouldn't trade for anything.

Stuart seems to be a quirky kind of storyteller author and maybe a lot of people enjoy his stories. Lots of authors make a living at this. I just haven't noted anything really interesting about Wilde or anything suggestive that he's breaking new ground or teaching things in a new way. Quite the opposite, in fact, he seems to be promoting the idea that enlightenment is but around the corner, doesn't require a difficult struggle or lesson, and that there are shortcuts to it. I just don't buy that.

Again, if anyone here has read much of his stuff, maybe they can help summarize Stuart's key messages. Thanks.

Here are some exepts from MIRACLES by Stuart Wilde copyright �1983, Its only 16 pages long but its a from his first "work".


STEP ONE: Understanding the Universal Law

To understand miracles, we have to look at two aspects of the Universal Law. First, there lies deep within all mankind an immense power and, second, the power is impartial and unemotional. Call it the Universal Mind, or Christ Consciousness, or what you will, it is this power that allows man a recognition of the universal life force that we call "God."


STEP TWO: Understanding Life's Mission

We are not our bodies or our emotions or our minds or any of the structures and restrictions we experience around us. We are an infinite part of the God Force using the physical form to experience spiritual development through a special teaching called "daily life."

STEP THREE: Understanding the Nature of Beliefs

Because most commercial aircraft fly at about 600 miles an hour, the shortest time in which you can get from New York to Paris is about six hours. Those are facts in the collective unconscious. But what if we told you of a man who could move his body many thousands of miles in just a few seconds? Your mind would scan its memory banks and draw a blank, whereupon you might think, impossible. Then perhaps you might review all the scientific data available and conclude that this feat is unachievable. All scientific knowledge and current thinking are products of the same collective unconscious, and just the fact that a billion people have no concept of a man moving three thousand miles in a few seconds makes it impossible. But the billions of people are wrong.

( I didnt find any good parts to cut and paste here big_smile sorri.)
STEP FOUR: The Miracle 'Action Plan'
STEP FIVE: Understanding Energy
STEP SIX: Understanding Time

Within the Universal Law, there is no time. Things are in a state of gradual evolvement. A tree has no concept of time because its essence is eternal. It responds to the warmth of the sun, but it is not "in time." It develops from seed, expanding gradually to full maturity, and so it is with the Universal Law. It can deliver instantly, but if your energy is not all there, it will seem to you as if it has taken time. You have to learn patience and keep moving toward your goal, knowing that your thought form will be manifest

(Or here, I think that its flirting with the selfhelp genre, but I guess thats subjective)
STEP SEVEN: Understanding Your Personal Power


Stuart Wilde Bio:

Wilde is one of the real characters of the self-help, human potential movement. His style is humorous, controversial, poignant and transformational. He has written over a dozen books, including those that make up the very successful Taos Quintet, which are considered classics in their genre. They are: Affirmations, The Force, Miracles, The Quickening and The Trick to Money Is Having Some. Stuart's books have been translated into 12 languages.
In Stuart's Own Words - from "Affirmations"
"I was born when I was very young, in Farnham, England. Conditions at birth were very crowded. My twin sister appeared in the physical plane about twenty minutes ahead of me. I like to think that I allowed her pole position, being the proper little gent that I was, but if truth be known I was asleep in the wings and missed the curtain call."
"My father was an officer in the British navy. At the time of my birth in 1946, he was seconded to the Foreign Office and served as a diplomat. My mother was Sicilian. They met during the Allied invasion of Sicily and were married in three weeks. She was very bright, a professor of languages and the only person that I have ever known who could speak Latin fluently."
"At age ten, disaster struck. I was shipped from a carefree existence on the beaches of Africa to a British boarding school, a mausoleum of a place that was founded in the year dot. Its philosophies were archaic and bizarre to say the least. Much of it could be traced back to some obscure little man who sat on a sand dune in pre-history, developing ways to manipulate and harass people."
"I remember my father standing on the tarmac of Accra airport prior to my departure for England, and ceremoniously presenting me with a five pound note ($7.50 at today's exchange rate.) At the tender age of ten that seemed to me an untold fortune. However, once at school I discovered the sweet shop and through that, along with the ravages of inflation, I experienced my first cash flow crunch about a week-and-a-half into my scholastic career."
"Cigarettes, it seemed, were a prized form of contraband. As ten-year-old boys were not allowed off the grounds, shortages existed. Demand having been established, I now set about the problem of supply. One morning the gods smiled on me and I met an older student whose function it was to go to the village on his bike each day to collect my master's newspapers. I pinned him to the wall, and in my best Sicilian accent asked him if he would like to go into business. He said, 'No.' Whereupon I punched him in the nose and we became lifelong friends and partners."
"I remember the tennis coach coming up to me on the last day at that school and asking me why I looked so miserable. From within my tears I mumbled, 'the business, the business.' Graduating from school was my first taste of unemployment."
"I mucked around for a few years and wound up as a stage hand with the prestigious English Stage Company at Sloan Square in London. I had the idea of going into theater management. My twin sister was by now forging ahead with a showbiz career and was appearing weekly on British TV. However, once I found out that the stage manager earned just forty pounds for a seventy hour work week, the roar of the grease paint and the smell of the crowd lost its allure."
"The swinging sixties were hotting up and the British rock bands were all the rage. On one of my travels I discovered a textile mill in Lancashire that made a kind of a T-shirt vest that miners wore. To my amazement the first boutique I offered them to snapped them up. The problem was one of logistics. I could tye-dye hundreds of T-shirts each day, but drying them was a problem. Luckily, they were greatly in demand and in my customer's search for sartorial splendor, they failed to notice that the T-shirt hung limply off the hangers still wet."
"By the age of twenty, I was earning a little over the equivalent of $20,000 per week.... I then signed up for a seven year course at the University of Burn-out, cruising London with a group of exotic characters whose names seemed culled from the cockney hall of fame. My chauffeurs were called Billy the Kid and Slick Vic, and I employed a fellow named Richard the Minder to get me home at night."
"At the ripe old age of twenty eight I was exhausted. There were hardly any human experiences left to me. Literally, I had been there, done that, and gotten the T-shirt."
"One morning, nursing a terrible hangover, I decided to discover the meaning of life. I signed up to train as a spirit medium at the College of Psychic Studies. I seemed to have a fair talent for it and not long after I was regularly contacting the spirits of the departed in hopes that they might answer my questions as to life's wondrous mysteries."
"During those years of searching, I struggled both spiritually and in the worldly sense. If I had known then what I know now, I could have saved myself much pain and anguish.... I continued to travel and study endlessly... Bit my bit I was able to sift the chaff from the wheat as I worked on myself, my own perceptions began to open up. I developed the ability to enter into deep states of mind and not fall asleep. After five years of training I found that I could hold concentration at the theta brain level (which is 4 - 6 cycles of brain rhythm second) almost indefinitely.
That was the turning point in my quest."

Hope this will help someone :D

Cheers!

I read the most recent Stuart Wilde book some time ago, and I don't have the book at the moment, so I am not 100% sure about this, but I recall that Stuart said a few things that concerned me, such as saying that reiki was a con, and was against yoga as well. I know that there is a lot of corruption in these areas, but to dismiss them entirely bothered me.

I have located the book and here are some relevant quotes:

"Reiki is wide open and it's selling bogus technology. It's based on a lie, an insideous con."

and,

"Yoga will kill you if you do too much of it-never worked for the Indians either. Look at them if you dare to. Have you ever met anyone who did yoga regularly that wasn't weak and troubled and dying of pain in front of your eyes?"

I think "Miracles" is the first in a trilogy continued with "The Force" and concluding with "Quickening". I guess these were written in the late 80's. It was interesting stuff when I read it at the time, and after that I was not attracted to any more Wilde material.

As with everything I took what was useful to me, what was applicable and discarded the rest. The impression I got from Wilde was that which AdPop describes in the quickening, that you have to roll up your sleeves and confront yourself and your life.

Regarding the psychoactive chemicals issue, the tune-in drop-out credo is a result of abuse by rank amateurs that have no business dealing with such things. Shamans have a better perspective and approach. Unfortunately, our society has promoted a counter-shamanic approach, and this turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy including abuse and demonization. Such things are, therefore, best left alone unless one has a karmic basis and a physiological disposition that makes one the exception to the rule.

We are simply not prepared in a cultural context as a whole to deal with the energies released by taking such substances.

Regarding Reiki, the only experience I have is by witnessing it in psychic fairs, and at least in that context it seemed like it was manipulative of people's energies. What I witnessed felt wrong to me, as if the "patient" was submitting to the "healer".

As for yoga, there are yogis who advocate that materiality is an illusion and the body is best left to wither.

So I see Stuart generalizing his experience, and turning a personal perspective (that seems to vary) into the great truth. Even so, like anything involving inner development, there is usually some gemstone among the worthless pebbles, and if one can find it, and tell the difference, it is probably worth exploring.

For me it was a useful phase at a time when I was still looking for something other than the old traditions, and opened me up to the possibilities of including new perspectives as well as the danger when one does that. Usually, there is always something to learn if one feels attracted to something.

I think Stuart Wilde has some good stuff - he seems to encourage taking control of your own destiny as opposed to following self help gurus which is always a good thing. In the last 5 years or so he seems to be churning out books with the same basic message though.

Regarding the morph I know that after qigong or meditation I am able to see it much more. Perhaps it's just a more subtle form of energy that we are seeing. I know that it is much more visible for me at night.

Right!

"I have read over 10,000 books. The greatest literature, the sacred texts, all the modern teachers, some of the ancient ones, the Greeks and so forth, mathematics, cosmology, physics, self-help, gestalt therapy, all of the above. And I learned more in one day on mushrooms than I ever read in a book. "

Oh my! Unfortunately he is not telling us what did he "learn" while "on mushrooms".

I've been reading Stuart Wilde's books for a while now. Most of it is just your basic self help stuff that gives people the training wheels to jump start thier life in at least the right direction. I was a member of a Stuart Wilde forum for a while but the discussions were mostly about 'lovey dovey' positivity in the face of all opposition. I believe many people would end thier posts in "Luv Luv" which is a Stuart Wilde saying. There was one forum member that claimed to have taken Ayahuasca workshops with Stuart down in Brazil. He talked of the experience like a junkie turned born again christian. When I questioned him about it he responded pretty negatively. Insulted me, told me I didn't have what it took to last through one of his psycadelic journies. Anytime he insulted someone (and there were so many posts of this nature that the forum closed a month after he joined.) he claimed that Stuart had taught him to 'show people thier own inner shadows'. Any time you responed with queries about his aggressivness, he claimed it was your ego talking. Scary stuff...
Stuart Wilde's advice about Yoga are just plain wrong as far as I am concerned. I would recommend stretching a bit a day to anyone with chronic injuries. And I say this with 15 years of experience with physical pursuits.
He recently started The Redemmer's Club. Aparently he is not teaching workshops or writing any more books. Instead he is forming a group that he will teacher personally. Group members would be taught how to 'navigate the gap' and to open certain portals up here on earth so that posivite energy can radiate out of them, redeeming the world.
The thing is, it costs $3800 for the first year and then an additional $1,200 each year after that. And you have to pay your airfare to travel wherever he wants to meet you. I got on his list to apply, to see what was up. I got a chain email, saying he was super busy publishing his last book but that my membership number was 26 or something. I was free to send my fee directly (or give my credit card number.) to him if I wanted to assure a spot in the club, but I should do it soon as the group was filling up quickly.
That was pretty much the deciding factor that he was hogwash. Truths or no truths, he ADMITS that he spent his early years living off the grid as a scam artist. Seems his books are becomming a bit monotonous, so why not up the ante and get a cult going?

Stewie Wilde......hmm
I downloaded excerpts (2 files) from an expensive audio book of his, "The Journey Into Enlightenment". That costs $79.95. Sheesh. Thank goodness i only bought 2 files, but still they cost $12 each! The files i downloaded were advertised to contain 'valuable' information as to how to enter the 'mirror world'.
Boy was i sorely disappointed! The dude (Wilde) just instructs you to sit in a darkened room and stare at a spot 45 degrees above your natural gaze, and watch for the wall to start becoming 'grainy', like 'dry rain'. Can someone say 'Ripoff!'. The other part of the download called 'Entering the Mirror world' part 2, was just ramblings by stewie wilde about his various experiences.
And what's up with that 'luv luv' catch phrase?

I think stewie's consciousness expanded too quickly with the use of all these hallucinogens (mushrooms, lsd, etc). The guy is stuck on the emotional 'niceness' 'love and light' centre.
He does have some good material out there, with the message of don't depend on gurus, but that's as far as he goes constructively in my opinion.
I was an avid reader of his adventures in the 'Morph' or the 'mirror world'. After downloading the program advertised to enable the user to experience the 'morph' , and having no experiences whatsoever, i realized that stewie wilde has joined the fray of new age marketers in promising big things, but delivering nothing.

My 2 cents.

I'm happy to say you're wrong about his earlier books Especially Silent Power. It's nothing like you imagine it to be. Miracles is awesome too.

I really don't understand what's going on with him currently. His earlier stuff was spot on! I can vouch for Miacles and Silent Power. really cool books and they really changed my perspective on life. In fact after understanding Wilde's viewpoint, Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill seems less moving to me. Hill is preachy and Wilde was funny and cool in his books. (earlier ones at least)

I am really confused because the old Wilde seems to be kinda different from the new Wilde. I am beginning to think someone is posing as Stuart Wilde right now or someone must have hit him on the head with a club.
I can't seem to find any information on the net as to what really is going on with him.

I'm perplexed because the Wilde that wrote Silent Power is pure gold.

Perhaps you could post some of the "pure gold" excerpts along with an analysis of the content overall?

I have read all of Stuart's books and found them an enjoyable and entertaining read.
The thing that stood out to me most was to be open to change, laugh and enjoy your existence, your power is yours so use it, don't abuse it.

One important point I picked up which wasn't put into print but that seemed to stand out to me was not to over analyze things-simplicity is a vital key.

We so often confuse ourselves and each other with drawn out theories, inturn being lead up paths which really need not be taken............................mind you sometimes those very paths do open some of us to unexpected surprises!

I also have a short DVD speech of his he did in the 80's (judging by the hairstyles!LOL) which is quite interesting as he speaks of a certain 'Group' so to speak that has purposely 'set up' a system so as to 'trick' us and allow us, through our free will to give our power away mindlessly by chasing illusions etc.

This is my first post here(yipeeee) as I've only just joined! I've really enjoyed all that I've read so far and appreciate the freedom to allow all to express without being jumped on..............Brilliant.
I'm also devouring 'the Wave' at the moment which much food for thought! Yum Yum!
Cheers to all from OZ,
