“The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them.” ~ Albert Einstein

Mindful Intelligence offers an alternative path to conventional wisdom- an impressionistic Way to reconnect and restore our inner balance, our inner measure for living and transforming the present moment- and to cultivate and transmit a legacy of enlightenment and compassion to all who curiously embrace the insight we freely share. With the right insight, intention, motivation, and effort, we not only have the power to transform ourselves, but the collective potential- starting with oneself, and then one beautiful person after another. It is this shift in collective consciousness that can energize and move the world.

The Way of Mindful Intelligence does not substitute one set of ideological views and opinions for another. It is simply a volitional discipline “to be”– a sense of mindsight which helps to open our innate awareness to see more “freshly”, directly, and fully. This awareness reveals our thoughts and our opinions as “thoughts” and “opinions”. The Way of Mindful Intelligence is impressionistic in nature. In a compassionately provocative way, it is an open invitation for all of us to take a fresh look at and challenge our most cherished assumptions, attachments, and perhaps unexamined viewpoints.

It is a call for us to begin paying closer attention in new ways to the constructs we create, fabricate, and proliferate not only as individuals but as collective beings in a community, society, nation, and world. It is a call for us to take greater responsibility for ourselves and for others. It is also a call for us to examine more carefully the very ways in which we perceive or know anything, or think we perceive and know something.

It is an open invitation to engage in a mindful investigation of the very process by which we form opinions and then make a strong link between identifying who we think we are and those very opinions. If we examine and become acutely aware of how are minds perceive, apprehend, and conceive of both ourselves and what we call the world, then many of those self-imposed, rigidly narrow constraints may dissolve as we find new ways to act based on this rotation in consciousness.

Mindfulness and mindful intelligence can be brought gracefully and gently to every aspect of our lives and work without knowing or having to know what will come of it- and that we can practice it and embody it as best we can individually and collectively as if our lives depended on it- sharing with one another, and trusting that such embodied actions will bring greater health and sanity to all those who volitionally decide to walk its path.
