Imagine two identical twins standing on top of the ski hill, both muscular and fit, and neither of them has skied before. Will they have identical behaviour and ski the same? If the twins have different thoughts then they will ski differently because it is the invisible world of thought that is responsible for creating what is experienced in the physical world.

One of the ultimate dreams of my life was to learn to water ski. I had always envied those elegant young ladies who pranced into the water, slipped on a single ski and then smiled dazzling smiles at the plebs on the beach as they sailed by on a stream of sparkling blue ripples. The waters off Changi in Singapore just happened to provide the ingredients for the opportunity, i.e. the boat, the accompanying expert and the three rum and cokes required to gain enough bravado to have a go.

France, Austria and Switzerland are some of the most famous ski resorts for British skiers and snowboarders. But these traditional favourites are now also some of the most expensive places to get your snow fix.
