Waves, Pauses and Considerations

The Thinking Environment is based on detailed observation of what the mind seems to do when it's in a wave of thinking. 

What we teach, is not something we've created. 

More, it's an articulation of what we've discoverecd. 

Our singular purpose is to help people think for themselves. 

To generate their own waves of thinking. 

To ask and answer their own questions.
