Undertaking
Facilitate human beings to come upon the clarity of living, transforming life completely.
Undertaking
Mindiverse Foundation is to facilitate people from all walks of life to inquire into the self, understand existence totally, get clarity about life, and eventually transform themselves completely by living authentically, and only then does a harmonious and peaceful society become possible.
This transformation is totally irrelevant to individual change, which still perpetuates the patterns embodied by the ego.
(It is to facilitate one, not to help one, because the hard work to transform oneself is on oneself -- diligence, tremendous observation and sheer action, Mindiverse serves as a mirror through which one can observe oneself)
In practice, Mindiverse Foundation is to support and protect Cico's teaching, which is also his living, and precisely points to the truth and authenticity so that the teaching can benefit as many people as possible. (Note: teaching is not imparting "knowledge" from one to another, but rather, one teaches oneself by diligently observing and learning, which is never accumulative. Cico is merely pointing out the issues and facilitating one to inquire into oneself and get ultimate clarity, which embodies the total transformation that is independent of time or knowledge. it is noteworthy that psychologically, knowledge actually blocks one from understanding oneself, though, in other fields, knowledge has its place)
The total transformation embodies true meditation. True meditation means an objective, philosophical and religious investigation of the mind thorough understanding of the self and an authentic living out of clarity. In other words, meditation covers the whole field of living, which is in dire contrast to the prevalent misunderstanding of meditation as a means to achieve something that an egocentric mind desires.
The misunderstanding about meditation (which unfortunately contaminates the meaning of such a beautiful word) results from a self-centred and therefore utilitarian view, which is dominant in this world of consciousness. The individualistic way of living leads to a total misunderstanding, not only about meditation but actually almost everything.
In other words, understanding is only possible when the living is authentic and free of any corruption. (Understanding is something actual, not intellectual. The intellectual understanding is still part of degenerate consciousness, but the actual understanding, which is never verbal, comes from ending this self-centered consciousness.)
Facilitating people to understand themselves totally and independently by living authentically is the intrinsic goal of Cico's teaching, which takes place in various forms. Mindiverse Foundation is to support all of those activities to benefit as many people as possible.
Clarity is not an idea
Clarity means no confusion about life and existence at all. Clarity is not a concept or idea, but an authentic living; clarity is not somethig to achieve, but when one transfroms oneself completely by living authentically, clarity is naturally there.
All mental challenges in life and issues in society are the consequence of this self-centred living, which brings about the division between "you" and "me", the individual and society and all hypocrisies. Such inauthentic living, which involves a tremendous amount of unnecessary self-centered mental activities, breeds numerous and endless confusion. Clarity ends the confusion.
Where there is clarity, there are no issues at all, because the mind is able to adequately meet and therefore solve all the issues.
Clarity embodies a total life tranformation. Such an authentic living is total and never fragmented or divided by thoughts, therefore it is totally free of fear and illusion.
Society is a mental construct running in each individual's mind, bringing about numerous complusions that reduce life to something mechancial and devour goodness. When clarity reaches more individuals, society will be fundamentally changed.
Clarity only comes into being when the mind is free of its egocentric consciousness activities. Such a state of mind never conforms to any patterns laid out by society, never accept any psychological authority, which means the mind stands alone, observe, learn, inquires with humility and freedom, and rejects any self-deception -- all of those are part of an authentic living.
Cico's teaching, which is also Cico's living, is to instil a sense of oneness and mental independence by inquiring into the self and finding out how to live authentically together with the participants of the activities.
A compassionate world has no confusion
"Me is the world, the world is me." is a factual statement that is totally devoid of counterarguments. What one feels is the consequence of the whole neural system interacting with the environment.
The world is confusing because all kinds of self-centred activities fill the world, and human beings are totally lost in such a confusing and turbulent living. In that very confusion, everything is drifting apart due to self-concern, creating numerous fragments. Each individual is pursuing their pleasure, their own petty interest, being trapped by their own issues, illusions, challenges and problems.
Such a life is a battlefield, which is the source of all violence. Such a society is permissive and egocentric, where all kinds of issues and conflicts abound; what has happened and is happening repeatedly points out that the external solutions haven't solved any of these issues at all and they won't.
The real solution never lies outwardly, the root is from the inner. When one individual transforms oneself, that is to end the self-centred activities, then society will go through a fundamental change, which cannot be brought about merely by any activism or cunning ideas.
The change must start from within -- the mind. Mindiverse Foundation aims at facilitating each human being to get clarity about life, eventually effecting a real change of the world.
What does clarity mean to one in actual life?
Mindiverse Foundation aims at facilitating everyone to get clarity about life, clarity means by the very limited description (the description is not the described):
A life without fear -- fear exists in all forms of mental challenges.
A harmonious and meaningful life.
A compassionate life, with care; connecting with nature; free of self-concern.
A life full of action, free of inertia.
A total life that has no confusion or illusion.
An authentic living that is unshakable and immovable.
What does Mindiverse Foundation do to facilitate people get clarity?
Mindiverse is globally presenting Cico's teaching in the form of free meditation sessions, public talks, dialogue, education, teaching, workshops, online content, and other diverse activities to facilitate one to inquire into oneself to understand themselves deeply and therefore transform themselves for goodness, joy and clarity. With this clarity, one will know (therefore won't ask) how to live a simple and beautiful life in this world.
Via Cico's teaching, Mindiverse is "sharing" the deep insight of mind with public sectors, professional groups, and people from all walks of life to totally understand various tricky issues, contributing to a peaceful and compassionate society.

Mindiverse connects all authentic beings
Mindiverse functions as a foundation to actually support Cico's teaching, which is also his living, to benefit as many human beings as possible. Besides that, Mindiverse exists as a nexus of all authentic beings, which embody humanity. "Mindiverse" and "Cico" are both labels, which can easily lead to a sense of division between organization and individual; actually, Mindiverse and Cico are one, just like Laozi, Jiddu Krishnamurti and Cico are one, all authentic beings are one. In oneness, each part functions in the right place.
Mindiverse will help bring about a global open "community" where authentic beings understand each other without the borders of culture, nationalities or languages. Such a community is not based on some interest, ideas or thoughts at all. Such a community is humanity, therefore has no form.
Authentic beings are doing very different things, living a very different life outwardly, but inwardly, they all live with clarity, live in truth, live a simple and beautiful life, totally harmonious with nature.
The community is not a tribe or a club but a synonym of human beings who live authentically without attachment, and such a living is a connection, not necessarily via the consciousness activities, where corruption is inevitably taking place.
Meditation in a nutshell
Meditation means authentic living via self-inquiry, which is an objective, philosophical and religious investigation of the mind. Such self-inquiry is total and free of any fragments created by thoughts.
Objective: the mind has to be observed in an objective way, which can only take place via proper perception and awareness; this is the most scientific thing ever.
Philosophical: the insight into the mind can be derived from direct perception and reasoning, which must agree with the dynamics of neurons.
Religious: self-inquiry is full of awe towards the inner order of living, which is beyond the consciousness. Such an inquiry belongs to no religion, but such a life is truly religious life.
Science, philosophy and religion are all fragments of thoughts, but being scientific, philosophical and religious is one, beyond any fragments of thoughts, which points to a total living.
This careful and thorough investigation of the mind is also the actual living in truth, or else a mere intellectual investigation has no meaning at all; it is the actual living that brings about the transformation.
Understand oneself through mirrors or reflections, that is, through all kinds of relations in life. Mind is like water, if the water is turbulent, one would not see oneself clearly through reflection; if water is still, everything is becoming so obvious, and this whole process is meditation.
