After many years of exploring human consciousness beginning with the only observable mind any one of us has ever known, through books, through travel, through conscious experimentation with meditation, various subjective exercises, and occasionally with psychotropic substances, we come to the final conclusion that all is an expression of our own thoughts.  Anyone can come to this conclusion, and the more we expand our observation into the world of personal, interpersonal, and social dynamics we discover the limitations of our languages and of our own limited perspective.  This website shares the ideas and explorations of Paul Dion Brooks in respect to personal experience, social complexity, and the strange phenomena that seem to suggest that there is something more beyond personal and social experience that informs from an unspeakable, undefinable, and perhaps even transpersonal realm. 

After many years of exploring traditional cultures and various social experiments around the world, it became apparent that the idea of community and socio-cultural design is a system that is challenging to talk about.  Communisphere is a relatively simple visualization tool that can be used to simplify the complexity of social systems. 

Traveling the world has become a lifestyle. Exploring cultures in more countries than most people might be able to name has led to discoveries inner, outer, and secret.  There are some stories that cannot be told, and it never hurts to try.  Read the amazing adventures in the life of Paul Dion Brooks here in this blog of memoirs and travelogue.

All perspectives are valid, and some things are just simply true.  In the western teachings of Tibetan Psychology, we sometimes call these things "immutable".  In the east it is known as Dharma. In this blog we explore all perspectives through the lens of the immutable Dharma. May we all realize our tru nature for the benefit of all beings.
