The Institute for Human Conceptual and
Mental Development (IHCMD) is a small, independent, non-profit organization that
advocates, promotes and facilitates understanding and managing existence and development
from the ground up and from the inside out, at a fundamental level, in their essence, in
depth and detail, in a comprehensive way, a differentiated, but integrated, connected and
related way. Understanding and managing them at the level of the natural conditions of
existence, which in the first instance define and govern human existence and development,
from within the mind and mental existence, where we consciously exist and act, where we
experience, become aware and must consider the conditions of existence, where we are in
charge, in control and must actively be engaged.
The Institute was set up in early 1990 to investigate the human causes behind the
cultural, political, social and environmental problems, difficulties, crises, conflicts
and confrontations we face today. The questions guiding the work of the Institute are:
What about us human beings make us understand and manage ourselves, human existence and
development, in the harmful, destructive and counterproductive way we do? How as a species
in our own self-development and growth did we get to where we find ourselves today and the
problems, difficulties and crises we create and we face? How did we get to understand and
manage ourselves, our existence and development in the way we do? And what is the
direction of the answers and solutions, the direction we need to take in our own
development, in conceptual and mental self-development and growth to understand and manage
ourselves, human existence and development in sustainable, secure and peaceful ways?
The Institute, within this context and to this end, undertakes research and study,
provides lectures, presentations, courses and workshops, consulting and coaching,
education and training in development, change and transformation from the ground up and
from the inside out. Developing the necessary conceptual foundation and mental capacity.
Developing, exercising and practicing the necessary knowledge and understanding, the
natural mental potential, individual natural mental powers and abilities, necessary mental
skills and practices, and engaging in the required mental work and effort. Establishing in
everything we do and we engage in the necessary internal mental conditions, before
engaging and dealing with external conditions, others and the world around us, with nature
and the natural environment.
