To Robert Scheinfeld, the ultimate reality is that we are spiritual beings who have convinced themselves that they are mere human beings possessing all of the failings and foibles characteristic of humans. We are infinite beings who have taken on physical form to play the human game.
His Journey to the Infinite program purports to help us become fully aware of our potential as these infinite beings and live a better life because we cognizant of the human game we're playing. Scheinfeld offers a guided tour of his ideas and the project online, using technology developed by Articulate.
The introduction is a little stilted and slow moving, but his ideas have potential -- and his experiences in the human development world for the last few decades could have uncovered something really useful. His remarks on the "self-help industry" are pretty insightful.
For $500, what the course costs, you get a ton of material -- 15 DVDs (including four movies that resonate with his ideas), audio recordings of the DVD material, transcripts of the material, worksheets and toolkits, and additional material. That's a lot of moolah; has anyone checked out the course? Post your impressions here.

Free Course on Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now
Bill Harris and Centerpointe Research are offering a free course Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now and whether it resonates with an integral approach to life.
The class comprises seven talks over the course of as many weeks, and if you sign up now, it's still in the first week, so you won't have to catch up. Participants include Genpo Roshi, Ken Wilber, Diane Hamilton, Bill Harris, and others -- and looks like an excellent free opportunity to thoughtfully consider Tolle's work.

The School of Practical Philosophy
I'm fascinated by the Philosophy Works course offering at the School of Practical Philosophy. The 10-week course is designed to help people put great philosophical ideas into practice in their everyday lives -- practical philosophy. And at $175, it seems quite reasonable.
Has anyone ever taken one of their courses? Any insights or feedback you can share?
