Intuition is the ability, without any time delay, to determine the causes of any and all effects regardless of the complexity of those effects. This intuition is a higher awareness, a deeper understanding, very much supported by our five senses of form and our two inner senses focused from the heart and crown energy centers. In this little book we explore earned, revealed and controlled intuition, recognizing that we have to take responsibility for our thoughts as well as our actions, for who we are as well as who we are becoming. This series of short books, which are published under Conscious Look Books, are conversational in nature, taking full advantage of your lived experience to share what can sometimes be difficult concepts to grab onto. But, you are ready. We live in a world that is tearing itself apart, where people are out of control, rebelling from years of real and perceived abuse and suppression of thought. Yet, this chaos 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 a glimmer of hope as we begin to reclaim the power of each and every mind developed by the lived human experience

Attention and intention are tools of the self, laying the web for interaction with the world in which we act. Every action we take is preceded by intent, with the expectation of the outcome of that action. There is a direct link between setting intention, focusing attention and what is manifested in the physical reality. We as a humanity are just beginning to understand that link This series of short books, which are published under Conscious Look Books, are conversational in nature, taking full advantage of your lived experience to share what can sometimes be difficult concepts to grab onto.

Compassion leads to, and is a companion of, unconditional love as the highest virtue of the emotional field. As we explore the virtue of compassion, we explore the depth of our growing connections with others, which is reflective in all of our life experiences. In this little book, we explore conscious compassion as an intelligent choice to give selfless service based on active awareness and understanding of others thoughts and feelings, the relationships among people and events, and wisdom. Along the way, the author shares a very special day in her life which was spent with Mother Teresa.

Virtues, qualities of being morally good, are concepts that when thought about expand consciousness and when acted upon increase intelligent activity. As we move into an uncertain future, never has it been more important to develop the virtue of good character. Each person carries the responsibility for acting with good character to the best of their ability. And since good character is a choice and can be developed, this is a LARGE responsibility This series of short books, which are published under Conscious Look Books, are conversational in nature, taking full advantage of your lived experience to share what can sometimes be difficult concepts to grab onto.

To see the direction we are heading, it's a good idea to first understand where we have come from, where we are, and how we got from there to here. This has proven incredibly difficult in an increasingly complex environment where invisible forces combine to form emergent characteristics that, at best, are difficult to directly connect to those forces. Still, when we are able to identify the repetition of patterns, we are better able to connect potential indirect cause-and-effect relationships in the future. In short, in the NOW we learn from the patterns of the past in order to better predict the future.

Grounding has to do with receiving and releasing energy. It has to do with feeling connected and secure, providing a baseline or foundation, and keeping us balanced. This Conscious Look Book is about exploring the many ways that humans choose to ground themselves as they live out their lives as physical, mental, emotional and spiritual beings on planet Earth.

Beauty is transcendent. When we are involved in our personal experience of beauty-and beauty is a personal choice-all of our senses are engaged, and there is no room for any negative energies from the past that periodically, and sometimes regularly, hang onto us. The experience of beauty is our own special tool to help navigate the world. Through beauty, you can circumvent the tedium of everyday life in an instant, and inject a feeling of appreciation, love and joy into your life This series of short books, which are published under Conscious Look Books, are conversational in nature, taking full advantage of your lived experience to share what can sometimes be difficult concepts to grab onto.

In this book David and Alex Bennet propose a new model for organizations that enables them to react more quickly and fluidly to today's fast-changing, dynamic business environment: the Intelligent Complex Adaptive System (ICAS). ICAS is a new organic model of the firm based on recent research in complexity and neuroscience, and incorporating networking theory and knowledge management, and turns the living system metaphor into a reality for organizations. This book synthesizes new thinking about organizational structure from the fields listed above into ICAS, a new systems model for the successful organization of the future designed to help leaders and managers of knowledge organizations succeed in a non-linear, complex, fast-changing and turbulent environment. Technology enables connectivity, and the ICAS model takes advantage of that connectivity by fostering the development of dynamic, effective and trusting relationships in a new organizational structure. This book outlines the model in chapter four, and then breaks down the model into its components in the next two chapters. This is a benefit to readers since different components of the model can be implemented at different times, so the book can guide implementation of one or all of the components as a manager sees fit. There are eight characteristics of the ICAS: organizational intelligence, unity and shared purpose, optimum complexity, selectivity, knowledge centricity, flow, permeable boundaries, and multi-dimensionality.
