A rugby playing, surfer, artist, nightclub bouncer becomes a Buddhist and then a coordinator of a Buddhist Centre. His Buddhist teacher being a Christian minister before becoming Buddhist teaches wisdom using Bible verses that intrigue Stephen. Who then becomes Christian and is shocked to find in the Bible important teachings that have been lost to modern Christianity but were part of the very powerful early church.

As a student of Buddhist psychology for twenty years, I was diligent in the practice of Mahamudra mindfulness and in the Tibetan tantras. I completed the strenuous Ngnndro exercises of 100 000 x prostrations, 100 000 x 100 syllable Vajrasattva mantras, 100 000 x Mandala offerings and the 100 000 x Guru yoga prostrations and mantras. I was initiated in many Tibetan archetypes. These exercises really make you question the reason you are doing them. When you are doing a 1000 Tibetan push-ups a day, your character is tested. I didn’t really know it, but I was diligently seeking after God.
My teacher suggested I should try doing my prostrations not to a Tibetan deity but to the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit in order to increase the opening of my heart, because of my early Christian upbringing. Some weird things started happening that the teacher could not satisfactorily explain. Where I lived in the country, I had visions of demons visiting and asking me not to leave the area when I was about to go. Later when I moved to the city, I had two different entities set up house with me.
When I left Buddhism and became Christian, my mind changed significantly. The memorizing of Bible verses sharpened it improving my memory. The prayers and powerful name of Jesus Christ banished the demons. This experience of the impact of the Word of God is the same for many, and my experience is similar to stories I have heard of others who have previously been involved in the esoteric practices.

As a young boy, I heard people saying the Bible was the greatest book ever written so I tried it out, reading it through twice between the ages of 9 and 12 and I could not work out what the fuss was all about. On holidays during this time, I was taken around the famous sights of Israel and Greece.
My parents were both teachers, and according to my genes, my brother and I both naturally became teachers. At first, I was not so enthusiastic, but as I gradually realized the tremendous importance of the job with young people, I grew to be a passionate teacher. As a Buddhist, I attended conferences on values education. And I began to at every opportunity, according to the Socratic contention, challenge my students as to what they believed was most important. I found that young people are very thirsty for inquiry into spiritual meaning when it is presented in the right manner; To push beyond the obvious 1st level of answers in family and money. But what is it that brings deep enduring happiness to the soul? What is the soul? I organized exhibitions of student artworks on these themes.
When I recognised the glorious cause of Jesus Christ as the greatest on this earth, I began teaching at a Christian school doing my best to breathe life into the Christian Living subject there. I coached young people through to baptism at the churches I was preaching in.
I was inspired by the Bible training I received in America, but I was shocked when I came home to Australia after presenting seminars in the Philippines, at the abyss between what the Bible teaches and where most of the church is in their daily life. This issue has been made plain to see for all, in the church abuse and corruption recently in the headlines of every newspaper front page in the world.
I began a deep study on the topic of transformation and right thinking taught in the Bible by the very early church. And I was surprised and inspired to discover two lost essential teachings that are not given in modern Christianity. Instead, they have been buried under the dust of culture, traditions, philosophies and men’s laws. We should be unsurprised at these discoveries by a newcomer to the church with a fresh perspective, because Jesus in his message to the Laodicean church of our time, declared that we will think we are on track but completely lost. Revelation 3:18-20.
I began giving seminars in Right Mindset Training. And I have been very encouraged by the positive responses, people often asking, “Why isn’t this being taught in our church?” Now it is my mission to share these two powerful keys for unlocking your all-important preparation for the return of Christ. I have given seminars in the Philippines, Vanuatu, East Timor, Sydney and Perth. My wife and I accept invitations to give presentations, workshops and mentoring.
