The InnerSource Foundation
What is Inner Development? In the past few years, researchers at several brain centers in the world have quantitatively measured the human conscious mind and discovered that it consists of about 4% of the whole mind. That means everything you know, everything you can remember, all the knowledge you possess, and everything you can access in your conscious mind is contained in only 4% of your greater whole mind. So, who you think you are is far less than who you really are. What is in that other 96% of your mind? The other 96% is called the non-conscious mind. It's the part that you cannot consciously access. Inner development consists, quite simply, of gaining access to knowledge and power contained in the non-conscious mind. The most important and beneficial area for a practitioner of inner development to access in the non-conscious mind is the human spirit. Therefore, our education and training programs in inner development are oriented chiefly toward access of deeper areas of the mind and the human spirit. Another term for describing those activities of inner development is spiritual development. Of course, the kind of spiritual development that we pursue is real, and has real-life tangible benefits to people who practice it. The most gratifying benefit of inner development is a transformation called Enlightenment. |
