Final Announcement 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 idea is to take the Introduction Session and in the process consider taking 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 globally, as individuals, as societies and as a species, 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.
