DesireEngine

I created this site to host my blog, provide info on the work that I do, and to shed some light on a psycho-spiritual model that I created to better understand what moves us all forward towards expansion and well being.

I call this model the “Desire Engine” and you can read more about it by clicking on the Desire Engine tab above. I am also writing a book by the same name, and my goal is to complete it by the summer of 2010.

You'll notice a thread of self-accountability and deliberate (conscious) choice that runs through all my work. I believe that we benefit by reclaiming authority that up until now, we’ve practiced giving away in order to gain the approval of others–or for this or that imagined reason. I believe that we increase our chances of happiness by making more of our choices based on what inspires us; from the inside out; with a more focus of attention and "presence" than we are normally accustomed to.

If you are looking for a lot of fluffy self-promotion and promises that my programs will make you rich, find you the perfect mate, keep you young forever, etc., well... you won’t find that here. Why read any further? Perhaps you sense something real in the idea that happiness is not about someone else's solution, but about you finding what works for you based on who you are.

What do you want? What are the thoughts you habitually think? What are the kinds of choices you make, and how do you make your choices? What you are willing to do to make your wants happen? It's up to you to use the tools you find here to answer these questions and more. It's up to you to use the perspectives that you may take away from here (and elsewhere in your living) towards fulfilling your desires and answering your questions.

In the end, this site is about exchanging ideas and information we might use in our continuing development of rich inner lives . With so many brilliant, helpful thought leaders out there, it seems like a given that we might always have a fresh supply of ideas and perspectives that we can consider and discuss. It my sincere hope that, by sharing work that I've done is this area, you will find something of value here for your personal journey towards greater wellbeing.

Please feel free to comment or write me on these perspectives or anything else you’d like to talk with me about!

Kind Regards,

Mark

DesireEngine for Employers & Employees

I am currently developing a program for companies that wish to leverage greater self-accountability and conscious choice towards greater employee wellbeing (and resulting healthier business). The program will leverage the DesireEngine model to help employees understand what their current motivation is; that they can choose inspiration over motivation, and how conscious choice is important to the Desire/Create/Evaluate cycle in the workplace. Please contact me if you are interested in pioneering this program at your organization at a special rate.

Inner Life Practice

Your inner life practice is the the sum total of your beliefs, attitudes, habitual thoughts, and "self talk." What can you do about it? Plenty! Click here for more about developing a healthy, self-supportive Inner Life Practice and what it can mean for you.

Woo-woo test? Guru torture-test?

These are some of the names that others give to my Metaphysical Information Congruency Assessment (MICA)
