Join Us Sunday, April 17th, for the Dialogue “The Era of Inexhaustible Benefit” with Candice O’Denver

At a time when human life is undergoing dramatic changes, the purpose of Candice O’Denver’s “Balanced View” teachings is to provide a lean, flexible understanding of human intelligence and to facilitate the greatest benefit to all during the time ahead. It will not only be a time of rapid transition but also one of rapid and open-ended knowledge creation.

She calls this period “the Era of Great Benefit.”

In short moments of clarity, repeated many times, this open source intelligence becomes more and more obvious until it is natural at all times.

Candice’s teachings invite humanity to a fresh encounter with basic questions such as “Who are we?” and “How can we exercise our innate potential to be of benefit?”

Standing outside all categories of all knowledge such as spirituality, religion, science and so forth, we can ask the questions and take action on the answers in a worldwide movement to empower the spontaneous altruism that is intrinsic to humanity. We are spontaneously altruistic by nature. How best, then, to empower spontaneous altruism as quickly as possible?

Research into this methodology shows consistent results in nearly perfect measures of life satisfaction and flourishing. The system is called “Balanced View” which is also the name of the worldwide organization that is now operating in 180 countries. Their research is in the submission process for an article in Nature.

About Candice O’Denver:

Candice O’Denver is, in my opinion, a rare being. A brilliant and extremely well-educated mother and grandmother, she is a true “Renaissance Woman” whose teachings are already serving people all over the world.

I would describe her work as one of the most innovative spiritual teachings in the world today, but Candice rarely uses the word “spiritual” at all.

Her unique and original approach cuts to the root, using fresh, direct, intuitive, universal language, like “clarity”, “open intelligence”, “innate joy”, and “being of benefit.”

It draws on her lifelong familiarity with computers, the Internet, and information theory, as well as over 40 years of deep study of the implications of critical theory, art, and literature, and also her deep engagement of the highest spiritual teachings such as Menngagde.

Candice has chosen to “stay below the radar” for most of her life, even during the past 8 years in which she has been teaching.

So it is a great honor to bring her unique wisdom and voice to the Beyond Awakening community.

She lives in Northern California and teaches internationally, sometimes from the Balanced View centers in Sweden, England, and India.

    Wow! Candice and her teachings sound like precious jewels to me! Many times throughout the day and night rest as open, thought free, attentive, open intelligence. This will show us that our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions are the beloved children of our open intelligence. Eventually we will be able to allow these to play freely by while still holding our identity as the attender. This will cause spontaneous compassion to arise and lead to an era of inexhaustible benefit.

    This sounds magnificently beautiful to me. Perhaps as our compassion spontaneously arises we could join together to serve those less fortunate than ourselves? Perhaps we could do this at our gatherings like at our Integral Spiritual Experiences?

    I plan to learn more about her teachings and organization. Thank you. Thank you.
