In community settings, POM-trained leaders share with others how easily people can become trapped in the content of their own negative thinking and remain in discouraged, reactive states. They teach groups to recognize their innate ability to rise above their circumstances and their past and think in healthy, effective, productive ways that lead to solutions and constructive action to bring about change. As people learn more and more about the non-contingent human capacity for wisdom, common sense and creativity, they take charge of their lives and their communities and generate positive change from within. This dynamic community power and the individual leadership capacity born of understanding have shown unprecedented results in troubled urban areas throughout the United States, from the infamous ghettos of the Bronx in New York to South Central Los Angeles in California. The companies that have thus far become fully engaged in change from within via accessing this unrecognized human resource have leaped beyond their competitors and created vastly improved workplace morale and good will, employee involvement at all levels, and enjoyment and enthusiasm for their work beyond their most optimistic hopes.
Innate health is a constant human potential, which can emerge at any moment.
The discoveries that have evolved, and continue to evolve, the practice of POM have led POM practitioners to the certainty that innate mental health, always accessible, is more likely to emerge when the distressed person becomes calm, feels more secure and is able to stop re-hashing problems and troubles. Thus POM is practiced, regardless of the setting, in an atmosphere of consistent rapport, good will and respect for the client's state of mind. POM depends upon teaching the principles and a logical conceptual framework to clients who are able to listen and take things to heart. Then clients begin to experience their own insights and they are on the road to ever-increasing psychological health. The ultimate benefit of Psychology of Mind is people's realization of the gift of thought and their power, as the thinkers of their own thoughts, to create the life of their dreams.
