First Bearings — The Map
The navigation system that governs the entire curriculum: the destination, the instruments, and the honest way a man takes a bearing on his own life. Everything else the Institute does stands on this document.
Read Free
Two documents, free.
This curriculum is not for tourists. It asks for months of honest work, in a fixed order, with a written record you cannot flatter.
To help you judge whether this is for you, we let you experience the thing itself: two documents, free to read. The first, First Bearings, is complete. It is where every member began his voyage. The second is the full teaching Leg of the fourth principle — everything but the exercises, which require your personal Helm, available only to members.
One promise about them, and it is a careful one. These pages will not build your character — nothing you merely read can do that. But they will change what you can see. The first shows you how a life is actually navigated — and why yours has drifted in ways you never caught happening. The second shows you a force that has been quietly making your decisions for years, and teaches you to catch it working — in rooms, in choices, in yourself. A man cannot unsee either one. If the seeing does nothing to you, you have your answer, and it cost you nothing.
Read them in order. The map first; then the view.
Inboard IV: Discover — The View from Month Five
The Discover Leg of an Inboard, nothing softened nor simplified. This is the fourth and final Foundational Inboard. You can see for yourself how a man is made ready for the voyage.
If this voyage is for you, enrollment begins with Inboard I, the first principle. Enroll
