IHCMD Online Study Program

Sustaining Human Existence in Changing Conditions, 
Human Mental Existence and Human Conceptual and Mental Development

Setting the Conceptual and Mental Conditions beyond 
Religion, Philosophy and Science



The Institute for Human Conceptual and Mental Development (IHCMD) is
presenting a free Online Study Program -- Sustaining Human Existence in
Changing Conditions, Human Mental Existence and Human Conceptual and Mental
Development: Setting the Conceptual and Mental Conditions Beyond Religion,
Philosophy and Science. The Program consists of two parts. The first part
is a short Introduction Session (October to mid-December 2000), and the
second part is a longer Study and Training Session (January to August
2001). The two Sessions can be taken separately. However, the Introduction
Session is a prerequisite for the Study and Training Session.

The focus and concentration of the IHCMD Online Study Program are
persisting and growing mental, social and environmental conditions,
problems and challenges we face today, as individuals, as societies and as
a species globally, and understanding their nature, causes and development,
answers and solutions.

The approach is to consider the conditions, problems, demands and
challenges of human existence and human development beyond religion,
philosophy and science, at the level of human mental existence and human
conceptual and mental development. It is to consider them within the
context of the fundamentals of the nature and conditions, demands and
challenges of human mental existence and conceptual and mental development.
Moreover, it is to consider them within the context of the historical path
and direction of human conceptual and mental self-development; of human
beings trying to comprehend and manage existence in changing conditions
that has brought the human species to where we find ourselves today. It is
to consider, at the level of human mental existence and human conceptual
and mental development and within the context of the historical path and
direction of human conceptual and mental self-development through the ages,
how today we comprehend and manage human existence and human development,
the understanding and mental skills and practices we develop and on which
we rely, their limits and shortcomings of where they contradict, conflict
with and fall short of the natural conditions, demands and challenges of
human existence and human development. It is to consider the answers and
solutions at the level of mental existence and conceptual and mental
development, the direction we need to take in conceptual and mental
development, individually and as a species, to address and move beyond the
conditions and problems we face and to sustain human existence in changing
conditions in equitable ways within the boundaries and limits set by nature.

The Introduction Session (October to mid-December 2000) is an introduction
to the issues. The Study and Training Session (January to August 2001) will
consider the issues in more depth and detail, particularly as they are
reflected in individual experience and awareness. It is an exercise in
individual conceptual and mental self-development. The Study and Training
Session is to individually set the conceptual and mental conditions beyond
religion, philosophy and science, necessary to sustain human existence in
changing conditions.
