I believe in a metaphical approach to life because it was important for me to find a philosophy of life that fit my life experiences, and not force my life to fit a particular philosophy.

Excerpt from article, "New Consciousness In Business? Why Not!"
Why is it that we keep our general philosophy of life separate from our business practices? It is almost as if the application of this to business is off limits. Well, I couldn’t disagree more. When I believe something, I believe it whole-heartedly. And I believe that one’s philosophy of life should apply to every aspect of one’s life. For a very long time, I felt an unease with the separation of my philosophy of life from any business involvement I had, until I finally did something about it. (see the book, A Different Path, A Different Result)
I was driven by the incongruence of a metaphysical philosophy of life with current business practices. In my mind, there was something wrong with believing that all men are created equal (beyond the founding fathers and society’s sense of the concept) and the current organizational practices of the superiority of some, and the inferiority of others. If one believes, metaphysically speaking, that we each are self-determining individuals with the power to create our own experiences and direct our own destinies, why is there a seeming need to hand over our power as individuals to the bosses within organizations to do with as they please?
