[edit] Early life
Wilde was born in Farnham, England. He has a twin sister, Dee Dee, who became well known in Britain for her weekly appearances on Top of the Pops with the dance troupe Pan's People. He was educated at St. George’s College, Weybridge, Surrey. After his schooling he joined the English Stage Company in Sloane Square, London. A year later he opened a jeans business in Carnaby Street London, at the height of the Swinging Sixties where he enjoyed considerable commercial success.
[edit] Career
He studied alternative religions and Taoist philosophy for five years from the age of twenty-eight, and when he was thirty-three, he emigrated to the United States of America where he lived in Laguna Beach, California with his first wife Cynthia. He wrote his first book, Miracles, in 1983.[2]
Shortly thereafter he began a career as a lecturer appearing mainly in New Thought Churches and at New Age conferences. In the 1990s he toured regularly with Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay,[4] appearing at venues such as the Sydney Entertainment Centre.
Wilde’s London street slang and his comedic way of presenting self-empowerment and spiritual ideas have attracted a widely diverse audience.[5][6][7] He's been called ahead of his time," 'the teacher's teacher' because of the influence he has had on other writers and lecturers in the field", provocative, poignant, controversial, funny, and his writing "timeless".[5][8]
Increasingly he has become a recognized figure for progressive thought in metaphysics and the field of human potential, and is oft quoted with references to his work appearing across a wide swath of international cultural, business, and educational forums from the Kennedy Center for the Arts',[9] interviews with American hip-hop artists and slam poets,[10] international investment conferences,[11] and the pages of international media such as CNET's "Top 10 List: Human Development Gurus"[12] and The Times of India's “Sunday Life” section.[13]
[edit] Principal philosophy
Wilde’s principal philosophy states that, while many citizens may seem to be normal, acquiescing to the status quo, there exists, in fact, a vast population of what he calls Fringe Dwellers whose mind and soul do not align to the constraints of life in regular society that Wilde calls Tick-Tock.[5][14] Wilde believes through use of the theta state of meditation (4–7 cycles per second), humans can better control their emotional life and their bio-rhythms, and begin to see visions, and that those visions and extrasensory feeling will lead to a greater balance and more freedom.[5][15][16]
To that end, he emphasizes the importance of going beyond the habit of struggling, and advocates the need for financial freedom,[5] themes stated in his books Life was Never Meant to be a Struggle (1987), The Trick to Money is Having Some (1989),[17] and The Little Money Bible (1998).
In Affirmations (1986), Wilde laid out systems of self-talk that empower an individual to change their core beliefs.[18] His book Sixth Sense (2000) discussed practical techniques for developing extrasensory perception. He has earned both praise and criticism for his later works which advance controversial concepts such as other dimensions, dematerialization, and Morph worlds.[8]
His most avant guard philosophy is based on the idea that Paul Dirac’s hypothesis of parallel antiparticle worlds is, in fact, correct, and that humans adept at trance meditation can become aware of spiritual dimensions placed at 90° from them left and right—dimensions, Wilde says, that follow Hawking's theory of transverse waves of light. Wilde has acknowledged there is no empirical data to support his claim, but anecdotal evidence, gathered from more than two-thousand people whom he has taught, state they have experienced such transcendental 90 ° perception which has led him to conclude these worlds exist.[19]
Wilde is a staunch supporter of peace in the world, the philosophy of live and let live,[8] animal rights and vegetarianism.
[edit] Writings and music
Stuart Wilde is a prolific writer, with twenty of his books published to date. They appear in more than fifteen foreign languages, with a total of ninety-five different books and audio works in circulation.[2][20]
He executive produced and was the lyricist on the music album Voice of the Feminine Spirit, which sold several hundred-thousand copies.[21] He later produced and was the lyricist on two albums of Celtic music, Voice of the Celtic Myth (1997), and Creation (1999),[22][23] and wrote the book and libretto for Tim Wheater’s oratorio Heartland (1995).[24][25] In 2010, his collaboration with Richard Tyler produced the ambient release The Mystery of the Sacred O, an homage "to the earth spirit Gaia and the masculine (Ka), and feminine (Om) creative energies of the Universe."[26]
