Peter J. Levine survived an upbringing that ticked all the wrong boxes. He set off on a quest to find answers to life’s big questions.
Over a period of some thirty years his desire to understand and find meaning has flowered into a love of wisdom and its application; gathering esoteric, hidden and secret knowledge as well as Master’s degrees in Philosophy and History.
Passionate about the unique prospect of each of our lives he considers himself to be something of a locksmith. Providing keys to open some of the great mysteries that surround us all. He sees us all as a work in progresss, viewing our lives as ongoing journeys, aggregates of multiple happenings that add to or diminish what we become. The pain in the world is something that can only be healed from within and each one of us is the prescriptive physician to our own ailments, it’s just that sometimes we miss it.
Peter has worked in many settings. He has established and run succesful businesses, lectured extensively, worked with and mentored young people experiencing severe behavioural and emotional difficulties. His range of experience is too broad to cover here but he has applied himself to many things obtaining spectacular results in a variety of fields.
He lives with his family between homes in London and the north east of England where he draws inspiration from the rugged landscape and crashing waves on the spectacular coastline. He still loves to travel, going native where he can. He derives a huge amount of satisfaction from the success and fulfilment that his adult children enjoy in their personal and professional lives.
Peter believes that the greatest accomplishment comes from helping others and where possible providing opportunity to push back the boundaries that surround us. This is a mutual condition, a state we all share, some realise it and some do not. Peter loves co-operation between people with a common love of humanity and what it may become when it is firing on all cylinders. The most precious things are the simple ones, mutuality, co-operation, respecting the integrity of others, learning, growth and development. All of these provide the foundation for a deep and abiding sense of well being, one of whose facets is, of course, happiness.
