Background

This section contains material that doesn’t fit with Principles or Tools, but which is referred to elsewhere. The various parts are

1. Adult Development

I have found adult development theory extremely helpful in understanding many aspects of what occurs in the area of personal development and spirituality. The summary presented here also includes useful references if you wish to deepen your understanding.

2. Phases of Personal Growth

When I tried to make sense of the different tools I had used at different times in my own personal journey I realised that there were quite distinct phases of growth and each requires different tools. This is my explanation of the three phases I identified for myself.

3. Charles Berner

Here I explain why I do not think the later Masters Training Manual ,that Charles published in 2006, is appropriate.

4. Who I am

This is my autobiography.  It is based on the extensive journals that I have kept throughout the last 45 years. When you access this you will see that there are different ways that you can read the book. The book has not been published in any other way than on this website.
