Q. How do you finance and pay for all this?
A. A vast amount of work has already been done and represents almost a lifetime of experience. All Old Steve has to do is pass on this knowledge and accumulated data and has dedicated the rest of his life to doing so.
Q. It can't be free?
A. Yes it is. Old Steve's philosophy comes to you entirely free and for the asking.
Q. But you still have to live and must have some costs and someone must be paying for all this?
A. Old Steve is using, or hoping to use, the income generated from the sale of his book. But no one is under any obligation to purchase, but naturally it is appreciated if they do.
Q. What if I don't want the Book but feel I would like to make a small contribution towards this great work?
A. You can send what ever you can afford. Every little helps and is truly appreciated.
Q. Can I ask specific questions?
A. Yes, via E-Mail but these should be fairly general questions as it is hoped to deal with specifics as progress is made and as they crop up. So please don't jump in at this stage and swamp Old Steve with a million questions before you have searched elsewhere. Be patient as much will be answered and things will become clearer, as you go along.
Q. Does your philosophy cure physical ills?
A. It can and has cured many as a knock on effect.
Q. Should I confide in others and tell them what I am doing?
A. By all means spread the word and tell others that you have found the site and how you think it might help you and them. There is no secret in what you are doing. But a serious word of warning. Do not discuss your personal problems or your progress or ambitions with anyone at this stage as many of your personal problems have become problems because you have failed to address them properly, in the past, and doing so now would be inappropriate and may well compound them and make them work against you. The time to talk openly of your success is when you have achieved it and it is well established and irreversible. To open up now is to offer yourself up for ridicule, from those negative persons who don't understand, and at the moment that is the last thing you want. Later on it won't matter one iota.
Q. Will all this drastically change my life?
A. Yes it may well do, if you go about it with the right motivation and work at it. But it will only change things in the way you want them to change. Nothing and no one, except you, is going to take over your life. You remain in full control of everything, at all times, and that is why the degree of satisfaction is so great.
Q. Will this affect others and what about my current relationships?
A. The main effect will be upon you. How it affects others after that will depend entirely on you. You will be in full control over yourself and any effects you would like it to have on others.
Q. Has your philosophy limitations?
A. Only in so much that it applies only to the 'English' speaking world and the way in which they interpret it. Old Steve has no detailed working knowledge of other cultures.
Q. Will people notice the changes in me?
A. Yes, but only if you want them to.
Q. Can I be harmed or are there any harmful side effects?
A. No. This is a philosophy and a philosophy for good. It is geared up to offer the positive and as you remain in full control, at all times, you cannot take on board anything that you feel is negative or not in your best interests.
Q. There are many organisations offering high hopes, are you any different?
A. There is only one answer to that and you will provide it. Old Steve believes he is different, but then he would, as he is bias, because he know it works. He has proved it so many times. Old Steve hopes he is different in many, many ways and, at least, what he is offering is free and from that point alone you have nothing to loose and much to gain.
Q. How do I start?
A. You read and as you do so you learn and before you realise it the things Old Steve says and suggests will, if you want them to, begin to alter your way of thinking. Then the way you currently perceive things and the way you have interpreted them in the past will all become clear to you and you will recognise how they have had a bad influence on your life in the past. You will then learn how to change and modify all these negative aspects so that, in future, they work in your favour and you achieve what you feel is important to you.
Q. If I work hard what can I expect to achieve?
A. To say anything and everything might be an exaggeration and a slight overstatement, but Old Steve believes you can achieve much that you now believe to be impossible. If there are limitations then it will be you who impose them.
Q. If I decide to embark am I obligated in any way? Do I have to give up valuable time that I can't afford? I have a full and demanding life and time is at a premium. Do I have to change my routines to accommodate your teachings?
A. No, you can come and go as much and as often as you like. It takes up very little time and there are no targets, timetables or schedules to meet and certainly there are no tests or question and answer sessions. The reading of the text and thereafter, only the time you choose to spend, will determine your rate of progress. The remainder you will practice and apply as you go about your everyday life.
Q. What have you achieved out of all this that you now want to share and give away?
A. If you take the time to read Old Steve's biography, which he hopes you will, (and perhaps the Book also, which is different) you will see where he comes from and he hopes that in there, there will be parts in which you see yourself or at least some parts with which you can identify or equate with. But at least from there you will see why he had a need to change his life around and how he had a need to achieve an inner peace, a calmness and tranquillity that he now enjoys. Or put another way, a peace of mind and at one with himself, that has since allowed him to come to terms with everything, fend off and survive everything, that has been thrown at him, so far, and why now, for his age, he is fit and healthy, in both body and mind, and wishes to share these things with you. For years now he has expanded on his learning and has covered a wide sphere and openly shared his secrets with others. But now that he has retired and is still extremely active he has decided to continue to share his good fortune and to do so freely with everyone.
Q. You are not going to take me so far and then when I am hooked ask me for money to go on?
A. Certainly not. You go as far as he goes and then as far as you want after that, armed with the knowledge you will have gained.
Q. Is your philosophy a religious teaching?
A. No. Religion is a very personal thing and Old Steve's philosophy neither relies on, interferes with or allies itself to any religious teachings or organisations and as a philosophy is certainly not a religion, sect or cult.
Q. Are you a Faith Healer?
A. No. Old Steve is not a Faith Healer. You may develop a faith in yourself that will heal you. But he prefers to call it belief. If you will believe in his philosophy then you will certainly believe in yourself and through that solve many of your problems.
Q. Am I obliged or required to join any group or organisation or participate in any joint meetings, lectures, seminars or similar?
A. No, not at all. This is a personal thing and you do your 'own thing,' in isolation, unless you choose otherwise, and you are obligated to no one or to anything. Later you may feel you would like to tell other people about it and form your own group; fair enough and no one will argue with that.
Q. You offer and suggest certain 'exercises', disciplines etc. to follow and certain things to do. Is there a time limit on these and can I miss any of them out?
A. The exercises that are suggested for you to do are simple and it is through that simplicity that they work so well. However they are specifically designed as a progressive build up and so to miss out any or in any way alter the sequence is counterproductive and you will achieve less and will have wasted your time. As for a time limit? No. There is no time limit as everyone is different and will set their own pace for achieving success. If there are recommended time limits then your attention will be drawn to the fact at the time, but it is suggested that nothing less than one week, per exercise, is a useful guide to achieve the maximum benefit in the beginning. Thereafter, depending on your rate of progress you maybe able to speed it up slightly. But in the beginning be patient and follow the suggestions.
Q. Can you give us some idea of what you cover; have cured etc.
A. Wow! That is a big one but Old Steve will do his best. But please remember if you don't find listed what you are interested in, then that does not mean it cannot be dealt with and also he begs you to remember that many people have probably used his techniques, achieved a result and then not bothered to tell anyone. So there maybe things that even he doesn't know about. Further, you should remember that what works for one does not necessarily work for another. Old Steve is not a cure all. No one is. He does his best and wishes you well. Click below for, at least, a selection.
