Afterword 

On meeting Bill for the first time, I was immediately attracted to his charismatic nature and genuine understanding of life. It can very often be difficult to describe a person whose mind is so open and expanded, but I would have to say that Bill has a magnetism that comes from the very highest part of his being.

I have been fortunate to share a platform with Bill, where we both spoke about our thoughts and beliefs of this life. I still remember being almost spellbound when I heard Bill describe his own understanding of life in the universe. All that he expressed could have come out of my own mind, but not with such eloquence.

Bill Roache, I believe, is a very compassionate man who knows where he fits in in the grand scale of life. His spiritual nature is such that – for all his great achievements and success in this life – he is very understated and genuinely humble. I feel honoured to have met a true gentleman of spirit.
