The Goal:

A community of people dedicated to consciousness elevation in all aspects of life, individual, communal, social, political, scientific, and beyond.

We each have the potential to each a unique level of "Human Optimization".  Attention, communication, intelligence, thoughtfulness, balanced emotion and speech and action, empathetic, beautiful, kind.

To achieve this peak potential and manifest it into "life as we know it" including the status quo, we effectively change the whole system in subtle but significant ways.  We seek to climb up and to include all aspects of consciousness, basic and elevated, in keeping with Ken Wilber's integral theory.

We see past the glass ceiling of "logical positivism" and the limitations of the 5 senses but we do NOT ditch the basic tenets of evolution, intellectual thought, community, and basic decency.

The goal is not to become "Enlightened".  It is to become healthy, flexible, dynamic, open-minded to change, and to efficiently utilize ALL possible tools including the physiological, psychological, and metaphysical to effect change and manifest Divinity and to live a good life.

The Backstory:

My name is Nathan Hakimi and I just finished college, studying Cognitive Science, Philosophy, and Film. I have always been into the idea of "Consciousness", which to me was the gateway logically/philosophically to an expanded metaphysics which led me into mysticism, psychedelic/entheogenic shamanism, all kinds of spirituality including Buddhism Hinduism Sufism Kabbalah Yoga Meditation etc, and ultimately back to my own faith which is the monotheistic lifestyle of Judaism!  Now I am committed to becoming a "mystical metaphysician" of some kind, helping give people the tools to actually slowly widen the "bandwidth" of consciousness, and achieve balance in health of mind and body.

One day I hope to open an actual "Consciousness Café" location, which would host classes, clinical psychology and mystical healing, books, café, yoga etc.

I believe that many of us have unique ideas, goals, and ambitions which we can help manifest by seeking life-minded intelligent people who can help us develop as people and push the thinking, beyond just thought, into actuality!
