Bio

"Robert Searle is an autodidact, and independent researcher. He is the originator of two major paradigms known as Multi-Dimensional Science, and Transfinancial Economics. He is also the originator of the Eleutherian Theory, and Improvised Voice Instrumental Music.

He was born on April 30th 1961 at Upton Hospital, Slough in England. His family were middle-class. His father who lives in Selsey is a structural/civil engineer who has been involved in a number of major jobs including those at Hampton Court, and St. Georges School, Windsor.

His mother was of Huguenot ancestry. She was a part-time antique dealer, and a registered breeder of burmese cats. After she died in Oxford in 2005 his father (in his late seventies) re-married in 2008 to a former noted Russian ballet dancer by the name of Irina Ishmetov. She claims to have healing powers, and emanates from a wealthy background.

Searle was educated at the Royal Free, and at a private school in Windsor called the Tutorials. His main interests then were art, and history. He had a gift for drawing (especially "instant" portraiture), and painting. As a teenage he acted as an unofficial guide to the Curfew Tower at Windsor Castle (circa 1974-76). He also had the privilege of entering the large “secret” tunnel which the public were not allowed to see.

He was a keen photographer, and loved visiting other historical places in the UK, and abroad. Because of his interest in history he had a fascination for archaeology, and undertook practical work at the excavation site in Wraysbury near Windsor.He even wrote an article for Young Rescue about the dig at old Windsor, and the surrounding area in 1975 drawing his data from the Windsor Guildhall.

After attending the Tutorials he went onto College where he was studying French, Biology,and History. He was intending to study archaeology at the University of London but decided not to.After he left College he took jobs as a clerical worker notably for Sony, and the Department of Health, and Social Security. He also later became a self-employed horticulturist (1980-96) working in the "stockbroker belt" of places like Gerrards Cross, Stoke Poges, Farnham Common,Iver, and elsewhere . One of his clients who also became a great friend was Sir Michael Shersby, former MP for Uxbridge, who died suddenly, just after Tony Blair came to power in 1997.

Robert Searle had relatives on his fathers side who were the world experts on orchids.They were Brian, and Wilma Rittershausen who were a brother, and sister "team". Searle, and they were a part of the Austrian Von Rittershausen family. The word Rittershausen means the House of the Knight, and has a coat of arms with a latin motto meaning Iron Will. Its history can be traced a long way back, and consisted of a line of powerful barons who played an important role in the Hapsburg Empire. In the early part of the 20th Century though due to the rise of the Nazis, the Rittershausens fled to England, and notably stayed in London.

Apart from being a horticulturist Robert Searle has also been a professional fundraiser (1996-2005). This involved the direct selling of charity tickets for two childrens charities, notably the Lee Sykes Centre in Sunderland before it closed down. However,he learned to hate this kind of work. He believes that there is far better way of helping charitable non-government organizations, or NGOs which is discussed in his“working paper” on Transfinancial Economics. This can be found as an entry in the P2P Foundation website which was started by Michel Bauwens who is a noted pioneer, and populariser of the importance of computers in the global networking of people, and ideas.

A Seeker After Truth.

To return to when he was a child, Searle had a number of psychic experiences which made him re-think his life, and purpose. In August 1977 serious intellectual interest was ignited (along with a “vision” of the "Spiritual Sun") by a book entitled The Unknown Power by Guy Lyon Playfair. In around 1980, he became a member of the Society for Psychical Research, which was the earliest "scientific" society of its kind (1882).

He has been connected with other “groups.” These are of a far less scientific value such as the Theosophical Society, the Arcane School. and the College of Psychic Studies. At the age of 16, and 17 he wrote a projected book on the paranormal plus a novel concerned with post mortem existence.Unfortunately, they did not go into print.The same occured with his paper in 1977 for the Galpin Society which was concerned with reviving ancient Etruscan Music. In it he used existing data (largely iconographical). He connected it up for the first time with the poetic incantations of Italian peasants who gave clear references to Etruscan (pre-roman) gods in a book (published in 1892)by Charles Godfrey Leland borrowed from the London Library.

As an adult though he published a number of articles on eastern esoteric subjects. Four appeared in a small but scholarly journal called The Pentacle which sadly folded. His work though has appeared in Yoga Today, and its successor Yoga, and Healing for which he also divised a few competitions. Some of his artwork was also published.Essentially, he has written on Indian Mysticism.

In the 21st century he has contributed largely seminal "essays" to the influential, and largely comprehensive Kheper website dealing with the esoteric. It is run by Alan Kazlev, a Jew living in Australia.

Besides his literary endeavours, Searle has met, and in certain cases interviewed a number of gurus visiting Britain. They included such people as Ma Yogashakti, Swami Chidananda Maharaj, Ravi Shankar, Mata Amritanandamayi, Shivabala Bala Yogi, S.A.A. Ramaiah, Kehar Singh, Mataji Nirmala Devi, and the like.

Transfinancial Economics (TFE) .

Since around the turn of the 20th century Robert Searle became very interested in economics, and especially how money plays its role in society. He came across monetary reform which believes in radical changes in the banking system.

In London, he became involved with meetings of the Global Justice Movement(GJM). It is not to be confused with a Canadian based group of the same name. The GJM in the UK is "headed up" by Peter Challen, and Rodney Shakespeare, a worldwide authority on Binary Economics. These "meetings" tended to be very small but informative. All the same the GJM did, and does attract a number of high calibre people such as a successful authoress, Ellen Brown, and a well-known American Senator, Dennis Kucinich.

Apart from this, Robert Searle used to attend the committee rooms at the Houses of Parliament where there were on occasion lectures on monetary reform. It was there that he met such people as James Robertson, and Stephen Zarlenga, the founder of the American Monetary Institute.

It was at such meetings, and talks that as a concerned citizen he was inspired to develop Transfinancial Economics, or TFE. Some of his feedback from critics about it came from the internet forum of the Global Justice Movement itself. Since August 2004 he contributed hundreds of posts to it not all ofcourse dealing with his paradigm.

Essentially, Transfinancial Economics, or TFE has been evolving on the internet from something which was relatively simplistic, and less informed to something which is more complex, and more informed. This has been a long process, and has involved a degree of intuitive awakening. However, it was discovered later on that it was very similiar to Social Credit which was founded by Clifford Douglas.

Anyway, TFE, itself believes that enough new unearned money can be created which would in time make the need for taxes, and/or indeed, fundraising in many cases unnecessary. If at all necessary inflation could be controlled directly, and eletronically rather than by the indirect methods of raising interest rates, and taxation.

A futuristic, but realistic political philosophy may also be developed. It would largely be influenced by Technocracy set in the basic framework of open democracy, and universal human rights.

As for TFE, it is hoped that in a few years time a book possibly entitled Towards Super Economics, Financial Revolution, and Global Justice will be published.It should be said here that a paper was actually accepted by a scholarly journal of high standing. After signing copyright clearance forms though Searle had a dispute with the editor/publisher, and withdrew it. At the time of writing, it has been sent elsewhere. It has also attracted interest from some economists including Professor Prem Sikka, and the noted autodidact, Hazel Henderson.Finally, TFE was one of the key subjects presented at the scientific International Conference of Engineering, and Meta-Engineering in April 2010 which took place in the USA.

Multi-Dimensional Science (MDS).

Multi-Dimensional Science, or MDS (also referred to as the Multi-Dimensional Hypothesis) if true could (like TFE in economics) be seen as a major breakthrough in our understanding of psychic, and spiritual phenomena. It has also attracted some interest from a number of people including Elisabet Sahtouris, Stanley Krippner, Jean Houston, and Ron Pearson, the originator of Survival Physics.

MDS offers for the first time a methodology in which we can "objectively" understand how the non-physical spiritual, and the psychic could be proved (albeit indirectly in the main),and hence, how this could revolutionise physics, psychology, biology, psychiatry, and the like.Searle believes that ideas, and mathematics similiar to modern physics do have a huge relevance in the development of MDS even though some of the findings may be partly, or wholly ineffable as they deal with claimed "mystical experiences".Moreover,he has suggested that some non-physical phenomena could be “accurately” described, and made “provable” by using semiotic, or symbolic type coding when it comes to mystical ascents into “higher worlds”. It is hoped that a book will result possibly entitled Towards Super Science; The New Psychic, and Spiritual Paradigm. This project will take longer than TFE. Those with an academic background in the sciences, and to some extent in the arts would be necessary to help forward the evolutionary development of this new “science.”. An Association for Multi-Dimensional Science (AMS) may be set up.

Searle is creating a worldwide directory/database of well-known, and more importantly little-known esoteric societies whose mystical, and psychic knowledge may prove invaluable for the theoretical dimension of MDS. This project when completed, and published will probably be the most comprehensive ever produced. Simple codes may be used to reduce the amount of information given per entry of this projected directory/database.

The Eleutherian Theory is a "spin off" from MDS. It offers a "new" esoteric philosophy concerned with "free will". He is also interested in the idea of the Universal Debating Project which is also very similiar to another evolving concept already present on the internet.

Musical Projects.

Apart from his two major projects of TFE, and MDS his other concern is Voice Instrumental Music.This is the use of the human voice as if it were a musical instrument. It is a huge subject with great potential not fully appreciated. There are many examples of it such as Tuva throat singing, the Jewish nigun, Beatboxing, the Hollywood Sound Effects Choir, and notably the A Cappella groups such as the Swingle Singers, the House Jacks, Vocal Sampling, et al. Searle hopes to undertake some pioneering contribution in this obscure area of music. He believes in the development of an avant garde theory, and practice refered to as Improvised Voice Instrumental Music.This involves the use of greater musical intelligence which can lead to the creation of impromptu, or on the spot performances of high quality music of various genres. This could be recorded. Thus, each “professional” improv concert of whatever musical style would produce new music spontaneously.

Besides Improvised Voice Instrumental Music, he is also interested in Improvised Artwhistling. The term Artwhistling implies very high quality whistling which when heard sounds just like a woodwind instrument.He has become well-known in his locality for the habit of whistling largely non-improvised pieces of mainly Medieval, and Renaissance Music.He has developed a "secret" following of people who insist that he should record his work.This may happen soon plus examples of Improvised, and Non-Improvised Voice Instrumental Music, and "normal" singing.

Furthermore, as indicated Searle is a lover of colourful, and interesting interpretations of Medieval, and Renaissance Music, or Early Music believing that it has great possibilities which are slowly being realized. As such, he has created the largest audio-visual internet collection of its kind. It is intended to essentially interest, and inspire amateurs, professional musicians, and composers. It is known simply as Searle8. Utilising the user name of "piedpiper" he has also contributed much material on the musician David Munrow(1942-1976)at an internet forum/tribute site dedicated to him, and his work.

Among other things he has been witness to "minor" historical events at Windsor notably the Great Fire at Windsor Castle in 1992. This received huge worldwide news coverage.

In 1993 he was initiated into Surat Shabd Yoga as taught by Radha Soami Satsang Beas. He also had two major spiritual awakenings from two gurus Dr. Sharma, and Sant Harjit Singh. Both traced their lineage to Baba Faqir Chand."
