I have said time and again, that people have times in their life when they are at risk and this story is just another one that follows the same pattern of the story I recently did on Eric Hertz who died in a plane crash killing him and his wife Kathy.

The question is, when are the danger points in your life? And, if you knew when they were, would you do something about it?

The image I have here may not mean much to those who cannot read these charts I make, but it has several strong indicators of what Andrew would have expected on the 9th May 2013 - his 'near death' day.

What do I mean by this?

I am known for converting "language we use to think with" (via our brain), into graphs that can be mapped. People I teach to read these graphs can see past, present, and prospective events with equal clarity.

One good way to appreciate 'danger' periods in your life, might be if I used this analogy;

If raindrops were glass shards falling from the sky, people would pay heed to the weather forecast as part of daily life. The moment is starts to rain, we would stay indoors till it was safe to go outside once more.

Who would walk in the rain then without protection?. BUT it's not glass, and so we pay little heed to it and know that a little rain never hurt anyone.

But what if I said that certain names on certain days in certain months in certain years, all converged at an exact time so that danger levels were increased. Would you go mountain climbing, bungy jumping, parachuting, or swim among stingray like Steve Irwin did when he died with a sting pushed through his heart?

Certain patterns like this occur now and then but it depends on where you are and what you are doing at the time. When a soldier pulls the pin on a grenade in practice, he does not play pass the parcel with it. He tosses it well away from himself and ducks for cover. This is timing and risk evaluation at work. Ignorance kills people. When you're armed with knowledge, you don't ignore the warning signs?

The problem is, how can you act on what you don't know?

You can't!

But I have discovered these repeating patterns. I have collected thousands of them when researching the lives of people who die through accident, sickness, or suicide, even other forms, like cot death, execution, or when planes full of passengers drop from the sky and ships that sink where many lose their lives.

All these events have a pattern and after dedicating my life to gathering the empirical data, converting it into statistics, I have created a science that can be employed by anyone to see what's going on in their life at any time.

How do I know this, I have proven it. There is no question. But the good news is, people do not have to be victims of ignorance. You can avoid a bad accident if you know what-not-to-do at certain times.

If scientists can plot the position of the moon in 28 years 7 months and 12 days, 14 hours and 7 second's from now - and be right, what is the difference in what I do? Nothing.

Andrew is an 11 name.
Andrew's full name is 11 also.
The day he died was a 13 day.
The month he died was a 13 month.
The year he was in is a 13 year.

11 and 13 are the two 'coded' combinations when stacked up at the same convergence of time that increase danger levels for an individual. Military people call the time frame; "being a bullet magnet" or a "bullet catcher". For all the soldiers I have studied who have died, they were in these patterns, codes 11 & 13!

Andrew should have not been doing anything that put his life at risk that day. Insurance companies know when people enter high risk sports, they require higher insurance premiums. This is because they need to cover themselves when people enter into dangerous pursuits as they die or have serious injuries more often. Makes sense to me.

The racing boat Artemis, that Andrew died on when it flipped over, also had a New Zealand 'Grinder' Craig Monk who was also seriously injured and in hospital. Craig has these Codes in his life at the time of the racing accident;

Craig's first name = 11.
He is in an 11 monthly combination.
The Day / Month combination is also an 11.

Not as intense and Andrew's 'terminal day', but it shows he was also in the line of fire and now in a serious medical condition.

In fact, if people knew when not to take risks, there would be no need for insurance companies - they'd go broke.

So what should Andrew's managers be doing other than learning about the subtle changes in wind direction, the wax on the hull, the timing to change the sail to the wind... they should be monitoring their crew's health, that's what!

According to the graph I have as a picture, Andrew was going to have some lovely family stuff just ahead. And as far as I can fathom (no pun intended), the cost of this matter stretches way beyond his demise. There is the emotional loss to his family and the crew, the financial loss to his sponsors and the officials, and I am sure many more angles of suffering I have not pointed out here.

Andrew didn't have to die. If anyone out there reading this published article thinks it might be worth looking deeper into for these talented sports people, in fact for any person (you included), then for goodness sake contact me at the address supplied above in the 'Site' tab.

Take care out there, and as Spock said; "Live long and prosper."

Isaac Newton was not considered a genius by his school masters or peers, but he was a genius by his passion.

What's your passion?

Find out what to do here.

Everyone has what it takes to gain mastery of a subject that is important to them.

Take Isaac Newton as example. Everyone thinks Newton was some kind of genius. Well in a way he was.

But his genius was the result of his self-guided pursuit of mastery.

Here's what happened.
In early 1665 Newton was a 23-year-old student at Cambridge University, on the verge of taking his exams to be a scholar in mathematics.

Then the bubonic plague broke out in London.

The deaths were horrific and started spreading throughout the country. By the summer of that year Cambridge University was forced to close and Newton fled to the countryside (to his mother's home in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire).

All the other students dispersed the same.

They were scattered to remote villages, had no intellectual stimulation and (for the next 20 months) lived in fear of the plague taking their life.

Not Newton.

For Newton the plague months represented something completely different.

At Cambridge Newton had been bothered by a series of mathematical problems that tortured, not only him, but his professors as well. So during the plague months Newton decided he was going spend his time solving the unsolvable math problems.

He took a stack of books and papers with him from Cambridge, and from his mother's home he began to study them in great detail.

He went over them day-after-day, taking notes, experimenting with calculations. The deeper he went into his studies the more he would see connections and have sudden insights.

He began solving problem after problem. His mental energy and momentum quickened as he realized the integrated connections and powers he was unleashing inside himself.

While other students spent the plague months paralyzed by boredom and fear for their lives, Newton was almost oblivious to it.

Newton was too focused on mastery - self-guided mastery.

And during those plague months Newton essentially created modern mathematics, mechanics and optics. His work is generally considered the most prolific, concentrated period of scientific thinking in the history of mankind.

Now Newton was a clever man, no doubt about that, but (and this is important) nobody at Cambridge took any particular notice of him.

He was to all intents and purposes a normal "average" student. It took the plague and self-guided motivation of mastery to transform his dormant genius, which was just waiting to be given life and recognition.

The point?

You have more resources and information available to you than Newton. There's certainly no shortage of resources or information available to you in today's world.

However, there is a great shortage of people who are looking for someone to tell them of their latent genius which is waiting to be given a chance in the light of day.

If you can apply a concentrated "Newton-like" effort toward your goal based on your purpose in life, there's no telling what you'll be able to do and the insights you will have made in a few months from now.

And you can start right where you are with only what you have. The real genius will come out when you start relying on your own insights born from the process of Self Mastery of your skills and Talents.

That's the secret "behind" every genius. Which means you have the capacity of a genius too.

The CEO of 2 Degrees was not really interested in what I had to say about his Company, Kathy his wife was, but its too late.

I'm sorry that I never had the chance to chat further with Kathy and the notes we made about the Company, she took with her to her early grave; the evidence of what I wrote covering the impending changes to their lives and that of 2 Degrees.

And it came to pass; 2 degrees had a business coronary, and Kathy and Eric perished at exactly the same time; a domino effect!

Last year I was invited to meet Eric and his wife Kathy at a Thanksgiving dinner hosted by an American business couple Wayne and Rosie Barnes at their Kaipara Flats home.

Wayne knew of my work in assessing and tracking companies, and asked me to bring along my reports on 2 Degrees and Telecom as I had made trend reports for them both some months earlier.

At the affair were a selection of notary guests whom I had met on several occasions. We relaxed and enjoyed the company gathered for this American celebration.

During the course of events and socializing, I took the opportunity to discuss my observations of the different phone companies and asked Eric if he was interested in my findings, Kathy certainly was.

"Telecom was due to go through major changes in 2013" I said, and that become apparent when they announced the shedding of 700 jobs, a major change in anyone's book.

I also discussed the road ahead for 2 Degrees, and was showing Kathy that during March and April (2013), the Company would be going through major changes and a re-direction of sorts. I also stated quite frankly that Eric and her were also in for some major life changes, and I believed the two events were closely related.

Eric was not focused on my business directives and advice, but Kathy wanted to know more, but she swept up by Eric all too soon, who declared they had to leave to go to another function that night. I'm sorry I never had the chance to chat further with Kathy, and now, I'm sure the family and the Company may have wished he'd listened had they known. But when you talk to a CEO who is not interested, what can one do to convince them?

After the news of their plane crash, I just shook my head and wondered if Eric had only taken the time to listen, and heeded my news, whether they would have made other arrangements on that fateful day.

Change is inevitable, but if people just listened at the right time, serious lessons can be avoided.

Wayne Barnes (the host) said after I called America and told him of Eric and Kathy's plane crash; "for a forward thinking man with a forward thinking Company, you'd think he would have just listened". On many occasions I have helped Wayne with specific and well-targeted advice, hence my invitation to meet Eric.

As Eric was leaving, I asked him if he would be interested in me getting a little more info to help him and 2 Degrees out with what I do. All he said was; "I'm a Sagittarius..., figure what you can from that!" I was a little stunned as if he thought I was an astrologer or some other sooth seer?

Well Eric, if you can hear me now, I found out what I wanted to know which verified my alignment of events in your life with that of 2 Degrees Limited, and the things I calculated, which could have been avoided, have come to pass. Steve Fosset did the same thing, but I never got to meet Steve to explain how he could have avoided his demise.

But wait, there's more.

To Sir Richard Branson; there is a sand storm on your horizon, I would advise you be cautious during September to November this year (2013), and risk evaluate everything next year.

This is what I do. I provide advice and projections to Companies (some listen, some don't) and recommend strategies, so they "know when not to cross the road". Eric paid the ultimate price for he and his wife!

But to you the reader, skills are available to all who have ears to listen. It's not freaky stuff, I use math and psychology, and as Bob Proctor said to me in November last; "What I Do is a Process, The Vaughan Process" he said.
