CHANGE
Regardless of our frame of reference—DNA, experience, culture, family, thought patterns, beliefs, values, or emotions and feelings—each and every human being is unique. At the core of all this difference is the self, with a subjective mind, exploring the world from the inside out, a protagonist ready for action.
The Profundity and Bifurcation of Change
This five-book series expands on the Intelligent Social Change Journey (ISCJ), a developmental journey of the body, mind and heart, moving from the heaviness of cause-and-effect linear extrapolations, to the fluidity of co-evolving with our environment, to the lightness of breathing our thought and feelings into reality. Grounded in development of our mental faculties, these are phase changes, each building on and expanding previous learning in our movement toward intelligent activity.

As we lay the groundwork, we move through the concepts of change, knowledge, forces, self and consciousness. Then, recognizing that we are holistic beings, we provide a baseline model for individual change from within.
Phase I of the ISCJ is focused on the linear cause-and-effect relationships of logical thinking, assuming that for every effect there is an originating cause. Includes a readiness assessment and sample change agent strategy.
Phase II of the ISCJ is focused on co-evolving with the environment. This requires a deepening connection with others, moving into empathy, and thinking conceptually.
As we move into Phase III of the ISCJ, we fully embrace our role as coo-creator, recognizing the power of thought and the role of attention and intention in our ever-expanding search for a higher level of truth.]
We embrace the ancient art and science of Alchemy to explore the larger shift underway for humanity and how we can consciously and intentionally speed up evolution to enhance outcomes. And as we approach the bifurcation, we are given a wide freedom of choice.
The Intelligent Social Change Journey
There is stability in knowing that change is a dynamic process of life. There is within the human a continuous need for more and different, an underlying desire to experience, and through this experiencing the shifting and changing of desires , opening an ever-expanding frontier of choice. We need change. We crave change. We cannot go backwards. Change is a journey into the future, a global future requiring recognition of an entangled humanity considering the impact of our decisions and actions on others and our environment. This is the Intelligent Social Change Journey.
The Intelligent Social Change Journey : Foundation for the Possibilities that are YOU!
By Alex Bennet and David Bennet with Arthur Shelley, Theresa Bullard and John Lewis
Excerpted from the PBC books (above), this little book lays the foundation for this journey, providing context in terms of the relationship of moral development, faith development, and consciousness expansion. Also contains a readiness assessment instrument to excite your imagination as we vision the possible future.
Possibilities that are YOU!
These books are for YOU! Regardless of economic success or educational prowess, beyond cultural influences and habitual routines, YOU have been and continue to be a student of life. And since our time in this learning sphere is previous, the challenges and opportunities are both rapid and continuous, always offering new insights. YOU are a verb, not a noun. (Forget what you were taught in grammar school.)
We live in a world of demanding challenges, where people and systems are rebounding from control, rebelling from eras of real and perceived suppression of thought. With the acceleration of mental development over the past century has come increased awareness of human capacity, with economic success in small bites for many and large bites for the few.
Yet all of this offers us, as a humanity, the opportunity to make a giant leap forward. By opening ourselves to ourselves, we are able to fully explore who we are. With that exploration comes glimmers of hope as we contemplate the power of each and every mind developed by a lived human experience!
These 22 little books are conversational in nature and focused for the graduate of life experience. They are thought provoking, idea expanding, and self-empowering to help us realize that we are co-creators of our reality. Much of this writing will resonate with readers, serving to bring what is known into conscious awareness.

Volume 11
All Things in Balance
There is a finite period of time to achieve the rebalancing necessary for human sustainability.
