Dylan’s journey is one of profound inner transformation, marked by a lifelong passion for experiencing life fully and sharing his experiences on transcending a limited mindset.
Early Struggles and a Pivotal Decision
Before embarking on his current path, Dylan grappled with a significant source of stress: his relationship with money. Trapped in a poverty mindset, he was deeply entrenched in the relentless nine-to-five grind. This period was marked by profound unhappiness and a persistent, nagging feeling that there had to be more to life than the status quo, a cycle of consumption and quiet despair.
The Path to Self-Healing and One Silent Mind
Following an intuitive pull to travel to Mexico, Dylan began opening to the practical application of applied psychotherapy and non-dual teachings with a foundation in Jalisco. This immersive experience allowed him to delve into his own self-healing, getting in touch with repressed emotions, thoughts, and beliefs that are often pushed down and become subconscious. After a year, he returned to New Zealand.
Driven by a strong intuitive nudge, Dylan made what felt like the most audacious decision of his life: to leave a job he passionately disliked and forge his own venture. A venture based out of the inspiration of a limitless mindset, rather than the fear and control of the conditioned mind or status quo.
As expected, money dwindled, and progress was slow, pushing him to rock bottom. He confronted every financial fear imaginable: the dread of complete failure, of ending up homeless. Yet, the unique advantage of hitting rock bottom, he realized, was that the only direction left to go was up.
This intense confrontation with his deepest fears, Dylan now understands, was life providing him with his first investment: an investment in, and ultimately, the recognition of his true self.
As he questioned and saw the lack of value in fear-based and limiting thoughts and beliefs, Dylan experienced the stillness of the “true Self” beyond the ego—the infinite sky beyond inner thunderstorms.
From this, One Silent Mind was founded to share pointers towards the true Self and experience of the infinite sky.
The Philosophy of One Silent Mind
Through awareness and intuitive insight into the mental attachment to unloving thoughts and beliefs, Dylan teaches that one can gain the conscious ability to outgrow the need to identify with inner thunderstorms. This allows one to rest as the infinite sky that is always untouched by any storm, often referred to as “the true Self.”
The tools offered by Dylan and the One Silent Mind community are designed to go straight to the root of all suffering, which he identifies as always mentally based—valuing and identifying with limiting beliefs, or the ego, in the mind. By sharing insights into his own experience of getting in touch with repressed, limiting emotions, thoughts, and beliefs, he guides one through vulnerability to raise doubt about the mental attachment to these limiting beliefs and thoughts, along with the effectual emotions and perceptions that result from them.
Through the inner work that these tools provide, the consistent peace and happiness that is often sought in the world naturally shines through as one’s very presence.
A New Way of Living and Sharing
Through dedicated self-work and an unwavering commitment to sharing the experiences and realisations of this self-work, Dylan began to notice a remarkable shift. By providing services that genuinely ignited his passion, things slowly but surely started to fall into place with an unexpected ease. This journey affirmed that the creativity that stems forth from self-investment are infinitely more fulfilling than mere consumption.
Having travelled to four countries sharing his experiences and tools for peace, Dylan invites everyone to join him in the realisation that there is no need to struggle and seek for what is already within them, as who they already truly are. He now shares his insights through online sessions, talks, and retreats in a community-like environment, using day-to-day activities, movies, music, and his newest collaborative project, “Gamer’s Guide to Enlightenment,” for mental health and inner peace.
Dylan reminds everyone that the experience of peace beyond an intellectual understanding of psychological studies and spiritual teachings is what truly matters, rather than getting caught up in the pointers to this experience.
