    In U.Lab you will learn Theory U, an approach to leading profound change that has been developed by action researchers at MIT, and practiced by leaders around the world, for over 20 years.

    You will apply this method to a challenge, issue, or system that matters to you, and “explore the future by doing” by developing a prototype initiative that connects the personal, relational, and systemic dimensions of change.

    The coursework helped prepare me for the next phase of my professional development, advanced coaching methods and eventually as Executive Director of Live and Let Live Foundation.

    "I was fortunate to work with Zen on the committee that planned and produced the ASTD Valley of the Sun 2010 Conference. Zen was enthusiastic about the conference - his commitment to creating content that would transform people was apparent from day 1. He had a vision, and shared it with the committee members to create excitement and forge a cohesive team. He worked hard to make the event better than in years past, and was tireless in his effort to find exceptional speakers, vendors, and content. He was passionate about providing the attendees (our members) with valuable information that would change them, and make them better employees, better managers, and better people. Working with and for Zen was an exceptional experience, as he proved to be an inspiring leader."

    "Zen Benefiel has been a tremendous asset during his term as Website & Technology Director for the ASTD Valley of the Sun chapter. He has proved himself as an integral part of driving innovation and improving value to our membership.

  • ZERO to ONE - Making Our Way Toward a Conscious Civilization

    ZERO to ONE - Making Our Way Toward a Conscious Civilization is more than advancing toward a Type I civilization. According to Kardashev and now Dr. Kaku, it is one that has reached a point of sustainability; a balanced approach of people and planet working together as one. How does our knowledge and thinking get us there?

    ZERO to ONE - Making Our Way Toward a Conscious Civilization is more than advancing toward a Type I civilization. According to Kardashev and now Dr. Kaku, it is one that has reached a point of sustainability; a balanced approach of people and planet working together as one. How does our knowledge and thinking get us there?

    Is there a movement toward advancing consciousness in humanity? Is consciousness more than being awake and aware of our surroundings?

    Is there a difference between human and non-human intelligence or are we just continuing to separate from others?

    This book explores the nature of our perception, what are being called the 'contact modalities,' and offers some very interesting points to contemplate and explore further.

    Zen's history in exploring communication and consciousness spans decades and includes both radio and television production in the 1990s, with One World transformational television show had over 120 interviews of people across he gamut of professional environments, delving into the inner and outer promptings of personal and professional careers.

    The thread of truth, shared patterns and processes, led to further research into the patterns of experiences within 'high strangeness' that became a seminal book, Stubbing My T.O.E. on Purpose, which garnered several interviews with a thought-leader of our time, Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove.Sort of an update to the his previous book, ZERO to ONE explores the development of consciousness and contact in the 21st Century, citing possibilities for aligning experiential understanding with modern scientific proofs that could indeed move us forward toward a Type I civilization. It is a concern in the development of our capacity to engage visiting civilizations more effectively.

    Author Bruce 'Zen' Benefiel offers a healthy dose of spiritual wisdom for an "out-of-this-world" reader experience. Some dynamics which make this book a helpful guide are the author's out-of-body experiences, his education and unique intelligence, combined with (but not limited to) an aptitude for research, diverse content synthesis and organization for reflection of his experience.

    Zen embraces psychological, scientific, intuitive and mystical explanations, deepening the experience of "flow," and more. Since childhood he has been challenged by alternate realities most of us only find in sci-fi or paranormal movies. His quest for truth began after finding out he was adopted. Woven by the common thread of his mystical experiences, Zen continually provides insightful logic regarding the ultimately inevitable connections among science and spirituality, connecting within, and galactic citizenry. Meaningful personal stories from the author's physical life experience are steeped in wisdom. That said; the author's emotional vulnerability is a great asset to humanizing the mystical experiences he lives out.

    Zen's authentic sharing creates a good foundation for us (the readers) to contemplate and realize the unique reality to which we have embraced and have been exposed. The book reveals compelling evidence that we can each go beyond our normal waking consciousness to connect in higher and finer ways. The author's knowledge of mental-emotional transformational methodologies makes for well-explored and deeply penetrating lessons.

  • Multi-Plane Awareness Technique with Solfeggio Frequencies

    String theory is not just a mathematical probability - you can have a direct experience of it! Many speak of multiple planes of consciousness but few offer an experience of them. This 55-minute guided journey takes you into a world few enter - a journey through multiple planes of awareness that have a part of you on each one.

    String theory is not just a mathematical probability - you can have a direct experience of it! Many speak of multiple planes of consciousness but few offer an experience of them. This 55-minute guided journey takes you into a world few enter - a journey through multiple planes of awareness that have a part of you on each one. In this exercise you will be guided through multiple planes of awareness that each has a 'body' and 'senses' beyond the physical body you inhabit.

    If cosmic consciousness were to condense into form, these bodies, with the capacity to accept or deny (choice/free will) the fact, how might evidence be discovered or presented? The concept of 'oneness' has been bantered about for some time. What does that mean? We now have an electromagnetic spectrum with quantum sciences offering considerations of consciousness spanning the gamut. How?

    Perhaps there are breadcrumbs that might lead us to a greater experience that not only includes the evidence of interbreeding and early arrivals, but gives us the opportunity to experience the myriad worlds, so to speak, that our consciousness comprises. One such breadcrumb trail led me to the Multi-plane Awareness Technique and inclusion of the Solfeggio Tones as a potential portal into such worlds.

    Transformational Life Coaching - A Seminal View of the 2 Questions

    Many seek mission and purpose in life, but don’t know how to find it. They seek coaches, gurus or teachers that often leave more questions than answers. In a way, that is most appropriate. This workbook is designed to help you get the distractions out of the way so you can be available for the answers you seek. It might even help you ask better questions, too.

    You are invited to take a deeper look into the being and nature of your identity in this world. Many are awakening with questions beyond the traditional answers provided by modern psychology, psychiatry and especially religions that have progressed on Earth.

    This workbook provides few answers and focuses more on the pertinent and powerful questions that lead to living authentically and with understanding of the fuller nature of being human. Humanity is evolving at breakneck speed and few are prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. This book will better prepare you to live more connected to the people and planet in harmony.

This movement is structured around a key principle, aptly named "Live and Let Live," and represents a serious commitment from individuals globally who strive to coexist in a state of liberty and harmony​​.

    The Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement is a worldwide initiative aimed at fostering freedom and peace among people. This movement is structured around a key principle, aptly named "Live and Let Live," and represents a serious commitment from individuals globally who strive to coexist in a state of liberty and harmony​​.

    Central to the movement's philosophy is the opposition to all forms of aggression, regardless of whether they are initiated by individuals, groups, organizations, or governments. The movement places a strong emphasis on the moral imperative for people to act as "excellent humans," promoting values that resonate with the broader goal of global peace and understanding​​.

    The Live and Let Live Foundation (3LF) plays a pivotal role in educating people about the ideals of freedom and peace and actively promotes the principles of the movement. This foundation helps in disseminating the Live and Let Live message, making it accessible and comprehensible to a wide range of people, thereby fostering a community that values peace and freedom​​.

    The movement was founded in 2019 by Marc J. Victor, who envisioned building a community dedicated to advocating for freedom across the globe. It underscores two foundational principles: a legal principle encapsulated in the phrase "Don't Aggress!" and a moral principle expressed as "Be An Excellent Human." These principles serve as guiding lights for the movement, driving its efforts to create a more peaceful and free world​​.

    In a world often overwhelmed by chaos and conflict, the Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement stands out as a beacon of hope. It advocates for harmony and peace, seeking to counterbalance the often negative and divisive narratives that dominate global discourse​​. Through its efforts, the movement aspires to create an environment where individuals can live freely and peacefully, respecting each other's right to live without aggression or coercion.
