It is about fundamental change at the level of human mental existence and mental development. Understanding and managing, at a more fundamental level, in depth and detail, in differentiated, connected and related ways, what takes place, what we face, what we do and what we need to do, establish, develop and maintain, individually in the mind and mental existence.
