Authentic Thinking for Creative Evolution
Yasuhiko Genku Kimura
Vision-In-Action Leadership Institute
AUTHENTIC THINKING FOR CREATIVE EVOLUTION (ATCE) is a one-year course designed to develop your capacity for Authentic Thinking—the mode of creative thinking that originates from the deepest and inmost dimension of your heartmind, integrating the cognitive, affective, and conative functions of your consciousness—through a deep and playful engagement in your spiritual, intellectual, and emotional development.
Through your participation in Authentic Thinking for Creative Evolution , you will realize that you are a singular kosmic destiny and a uniquely significant leading-edge of kosmic evolution. Your evolution is a kosmic process and has a uniquely significant impact on the evolution of the whole field of consciousness which is harmonically resonant with the field of kosmic evolution.
Yasuhiko Genku Kimura created AUTHENTIC THINKING FOR CREATIVE EVOLUTION (ATCE) to develop a new kind of leaders for humanity who are free, independent, and authentic thinkers, who are individuals of true spirituality, integrity, and responsibility, and who enlighten the world through their own creative expressions of the Divinity that is Humanity.
THE RESULTS of your participation in Authentic Thinking for Creative Evolution include:
- Transformed ability to live your life in accordance with your vision, passion, and creativity
- Heightened ability for authentic process-oriented thinking, leading to conscious and creative evolution of your whole self
- Expanded self-awareness and self-knowledge, leading to greater clarity and certainty
- Greater development of your life career, profession, or business
- Deeper sense of joy and playfulness in life and concomitant increase in creativity
- Higher integral (scientific and spiritual) knowledge of the universe and its creative process
- New recognition of the evolutionary longings of your soul and knowledge of how to fulfill them
AUTHENTIC THINKING FOR CREATIVE EVOLUTION (ATCE) comprises:
- 10 Full-day Classroom Sessions , consisting of original-material lectures, thought-provoking inquiries, and evolving dialogues, held on 5 weekends throughout the period of 10 months. (Those who are absent from classroom sessions are required to listen to audio recordings of the missed sessions.)
- Ongoing Online Consultations conducted throughout the period of one year (e.g., ATCE 2007 had 72 online consultations altogether, consisting of over 150 pages of deeply thought-provoking and informative consultations on extremely wide-ranging questions and subjects that concerned the participants.)
- Meditation Practices designed to awaken and sustain your enlightened self-awareness. The meditation techniques practiced in ATCE have been developed by Mr. Kimura and are the pure distilled essence of traditional meditation techniques. Sometimes depending on the needs of participants, individualized meditations are also assigned to facilitate deepening of awareness.
- Creative Practices designed to facilitate the manifestation of your creative vision. These practices are the practical applications of the creative principles underlying the kosmic and human creative process, including the law of attraction.
- Reading List consisting of 6 required texts and 6 suggested supplementary texts , all of which are great examples of, and therefore are designed to provoke, truly authentic thinking. (In the online consultations, classroom sessions, and phone dialogues, these texts will be discussed.)
- Phone Dialogues among participants designed to facilitate mutual support and development.
- Individual Phone Consultation with Mr. Kimura is offered if it is needed by participants.
