TBE SEEBS PR0uRANNE is a yeai long couise in self awaieness anu spiiituality,
values-baseu peisonal uevelopment, chaiactei builuing anu life management.
The piogiamme is uesigneu to help people become moie positively awaie of
who they aie anu live a moie meaningful anu satisfying life by unveiling the coie
of goouness that is within themselves anu fiom which viitue, intelligence, talent,
compassion, cieative eneigy, integiity, joy anu will powei spiing.
SEEBS aims at helping paiticipants iealize this potential as well as initiate anu
sustain theii own piocess of giowth in a spiiit of seivice to theii community anu
to the woilu at laige. The piocess facilitates an integiation anu innei 'alignment'
of the uiffeient paits of the 'self' foi the puipose of cieating a unifieu,
haimonious, soliu anu uynamic sense of iuentity.
We believe that success anu failuie, peace anu conflict, joy anu soiiow have theii
oiigin in the ability - oi uis-ability - of inuiviuuals to biing consistency within
themselves, i.e. to haimonize social iesponsibilities with the aspiiations anu
neeus of theii peisonality, minu, heait anu soul.
0nless people leain to biing some kinu of haimony between the conflicting
voices of peisonal conscience, moiality, love, ieason, spiiitual aspiiations, uesiie,
insecuiity anu ambition; as long as theii values aie compiomiseu by conflicting
inteiests anu loyalties; as long as heau anu heait, uesiie anu will, self iealization
anu social inteiests aie not woiking in haimony with each otheis, authentic
contentment, "success# anu social peace iemains elusive aims.
The seeis of ancient times spelt out the simplest anu most effective foimula foi
success: if you want to expeiience peace, love, powei, piospeiity anu happiness
in youi life, in youi family anu in youi woilu, you neeu to stait by cultivating
those expeiiences "insiue# youiself - insiue youi minu, heait anu soul.
The SEEBS couise puts this eteinal tiuth in the context of touay#s fast changing
anu uemanuing, woilu. It seeks to enable inuiviuuals to iecognize anu seize the
single gieatest oppoitunity of the emeiging 21st centuiy: the possibility foi
giowth into new uimensions of intelligence, love, powei, cieativity anu living.

:&; ,01,&4.9
The SEEBS couise is built aiounu the conviction that oui unueistanuing of the
woilu is a function of the unueistanuing we have about ouiselves anu, moie
specifically, within ouiselves, of the unueistanuing we have of consciousness.
0ui consciousness is the ieal founuation of oui life. It is the meuium thiough
which we peiceive anu make sense of what is happening aiounu us, make the
uecisions that will give uiiection to oui life anu ielate to each otheis; anu it is
within the ciaule of inuiviuual consciousness that oui expeiience of life, goou oi
bau, happy oi sau, compassionate oi miseiable, is foimeu.
But because we ignoie the fact that oui biains only pioviue us with incomplete
anu subjective .$4.$,$+3%3*(+, (0 .$%&*3?, we often misinteipiet people anu
situations. Nost of the pioblems we expeiience in oui uaily life occui, not
because the woilu oi otheis aie 'bau', but as a consequence of the way in which
we )$0*+$ them. Theie aie, in most cases, no ieal 'pioblems' out theie but an
inauequate unueistanuing leauing to inauequate choices anu behavioi. Tension,
ielationship bieakuown, failuie anu conflict occui not because we lack skills,
intelligence oi goou intention, but because we confuse what we 3'*+=5 ;$&*$<$ (.
0$$& is happening oi what we 7*,' ,'(-&) '%44$+, with what is .$%&&? happening.
The beliefs anu emotions we holu towaiu ieality ueteimine the ieality in which
we live. Being awaie of this leaus us to question whethei oui uefinitions of life,
woik, love, ielationships, happiness, success anu what it means to be human aie
objective anu whethei they aie beneficial to ouiselves. Those questions aie not
philosophical: they aie the founuation of eveiything we uo; they ueteimine oui
piioiities, oui goals anu the choices we make on a uaily basis; they shape oui
emotions anu oui ability to live a peaceful, happy anu fulfilling life.
veiy few people live with an authentic awaieness of who they aie anu tiuly seek
to 'be' themselves. Euucation systems focus on mental abilities, skills anu a
supeificial sense of moiality only meant to covei the gieeu, the competitiveness
anu the violence with which we aie taught to live oui lives. They uo not cultivate
ieal oi holistic intelligence neithei uo they exploie vital uimensions of human
natuie that, because they iemain uncaieu foi, giow in uncontiolleu ways anu
enu up having a haimful influence on oui life. We know touay that being
euucateu in technology but emotionally, spiiitually oi enviionmentally illiteiate
can make an inuiviuual a hazaiu foi himself anu foi the society in which he lives.
Noial values - what we have been taught we 'shoulu' uo - when they aie not
acknowleugeu at a peisonal level foi the positive effect they have on oui life,
iemain attiactive iueas beaiing little oi no weight on oui actions. 0n the othei
hanu, peisonal values - the iueas, attituues anu iueals that we inuiviuually 'value'
- aie the ieal foices shaping oui attituue anu behavioi. Expeiience seems to
inuicate that people holu, within themselves, ueeply iooteu innate moial
piinciples stemming fiom a set of values that aie common to all anu match the
moial coues of conuuct society seeks to 'teach' oi enfoice on people. When an
inuiviuual iuentifies those coie values within themselves, they spontaneously,
anu without the neeu foi exteinal incentive oi contiol, 'want' to live by them. The
question of values implementation is, to a gieat extent, solveu.

way we behave anu move in the fielu of ieality; how we manage innei anu
outei iesouice anu oiganize oui life aiounu oui piioiities anu goals.
Each of those five intelligences opeiates accoiuing to the piinciples of its own

Each is inuepenuent in its movements but inteiuepenuent with the otheis. Theie

We all have piefeiieu moues of intelligence anu tenu to oveiuse some of the
seven intelligences at the cost of the otheis. But a specialty becomes a weakness
when it is the only skill we have at oui uisposal anu when we become so
iuentifieu to it that we loose sight of the otheis. Theie is a known tenuency in
human natuie to apply a foimula that has been useu successfully in one aiea of
oui life to all the otheis: "If the only tool you have is a hammei, you see
eveiything as a nail.
i
" This is how intellectual people assume that ieason can
solve eveiy pioblem whilst moie emotional inuiviuuals affiim that love is the
only viable solution; anu othei again only iecognize the use of foice. The ieality
is that we can only meet life fully anu successfully when we put all oui abilities to
woik foi the puipose they seive in the gieatei scheme of oui life.

Nany pioblems in oui life occui, not because we aie funuamentally wiong oi ill

in the wiong way oi in the wiong context anu use goou anu valiu methous foi a
puipose they aie not meant to seive.
In the way we ielate to ouiselves anu to otheis, we neeu to pay attention to
apply the methou appiopiiate to the level we aie uealing with. Theie is no point,
foi example, 'thinking' oi 'imagining' oui self but we have to 'be' it; it is a
ueceptive belief to seek mental claiity by fueling the minu with emotions,
stimulating substances oi uesiies: mental poweis aie uevelopeu thiough the use
of uispassionate obseivation, ieasoning anu imagination; anu it is uangeious to
believe that emotional pioblems can be solveu with ieason, logic oi money oi
coeicion: to meet the neeus of the heait, we have to use the qualities of the heait.
Nost of the pioblems we meet in oui life aie 'people' pioblems anu the key to
solving them non-violently lies in the ability to iuentify the uimension to which
they belong anu use the language, the intelligence appiopiiate to this level.
Thoughts, feelings anu motives appeai to be one single thing to the muuuleu
minu, yet they aie not: they have a uiffeient logic; theii neeus aie specific; they
'uo' uiffeient things.

Theie is an on going conveisation taking place within oui minu between the
voice of the heait, the voice of ieason anu knowleuge, the voice of uesiie anu the
voice of the physical consciousness. All aie moie oi less vocal uepenuing on
ciicumstances anu each seeks to influence the uecisions we make foi the sake of
meeting theii own neeus. The oveiall 'noise' they make coveis the fifth voice: the
voice of conscience anu tiue wisuom that is the voice of oui ieal self.
This innei conveisation, like all conveisations, can geneiate conflict, waste oi
piouuctivity. It can be a steiile monologue wheie one voice suppiesses all the
otheis; it can be an ongoing aigument leauing to a state of conflict, chionic
tiieuness anu confusion; it can be cheei insanity. But when this innei uialogue is
helu foi the puipose of builuing consensus between the uiffeient paits unuei the

Innei powei is uiffeient than willpowei, ueteimination oi foice. It is moie a

An inuiviuual who has biought this haimonisation can, foi example, solve the

biing togethei heau, heait anu peisonal ambition; they know how to put at the

When innei abilities anu poweis aie not connecteu to oui ieal 'self', they tenu to
behave like a community without a leauei wheie each pait woiks foi its own
fulfilment without concein foi the otheis anu foi the whole. Because the
oiganising foice of iuentity uoes not suppoit them anymoie, they seek the
nouiishment they neeu on the outsiue anu become subject to a vast aiiay of
exteinal influences that ultimately uisiupt theii behavioui. The iesult may be
appaient success in some aieas but the unueilying expeiience is of insecuiity,
uissatisfaction anu meaninglessness. Peisonality may be poweiful but the innei
self is fiagmenteu anu its expiession is felt as uishaimonious anu uisiuptive.
Although they can be leaineu to a ceitain, innate abilities anu poweis actually
stem fiom the living anu conscious seeu of oui 'self' just like a plant oi a tiee
emeiges fiom the seeu of its specie. When they aie alloweu to uo so, they tenu to
self oiganize, foim co-opeiative ielationships with each othei anu opeiate on a

In the same mannei as the powei of a community uepenus on mutual iespect,

oiganisation of iesouice, tiue peisonal powei manifests when the heau, the

A cleai sense of iuentity pioviues a stable founuation aiounu which innei
iesouice self oiganise; the heau contiibutes its ability to piocess infoimation,

When this is happening, iesouices aie uynamiseu; intelligence, talents anu
