Bruce ‘Zen’ Benefiel

Advocate for Harmony among People and Planet
Organizational Bricoleur, Possibilities Coagulator and Spiritual Philosopher

Attentiveness, Receptivity and Vulnerability are Super Powers Today.

“Bruce, are you willing to die for what you believe in?” I was asked that question in 1975 during an afternoon meditation, while in the Pre-Med program at Ball State University, believed in cosmic consciousness and said ‘Yes.’ The NDE that followed took me into the light and beyond, surrounded by points of light on an indigo background and given marching orders for my life, “These are those that you are to work with in order to facilitate a new world order. It will happen in your lifetime. Know this to be true. Your path will be full of trials and tribulations. Have faith and trust that everything you need with be there at its appointed time. Trust and allow.”
A dear friend, one Swami Beyondananda, says we are in process of an upwising and great weset in how we live and work together. Perhaps this ‘new world order’ is a natural evolution of the inner workings of many in transcending tragedy with the discovery of natural design, an apocalypse indeed. Does God truly dwell within each of us? If we knew, what would it look like in the outer world?

NetiZen… ET AL

Over 40 years of personal and professional opportunities in numerous environments and industries coalesces for a robust skill set in this ‘possibilities coagulator‘ and now Executive Director of the Live and Let Live Foundation.

Aptitude, attitude and the ability to say ‘yes’ to invitations and opportunities created a plethora of skill building events and pragmatic applications across professional environments. Observing and studying the process turned me into a cognitive scientist over time, delving into how the mind works.

I believe we are far more capable of doing things beyond our imagination than we give ourselves credit. In fact, the simple action of making a step toward achieving a dream brings many worlds into order and available for support. The longer one stays the course, the better the experience gets. I’ve been a witness to many transformations in my life, my own and others, and they all begin with faith, love and trust at the core. The activities of attention, intention and action coagulate the particles that were only waving in order to coagulate them into form, if you get the drift. Vedantic philosophy thousand of years old corroborates this truth.
Zen Benefiel, Cognitive Scientist, Outlier Extraordinaire.

I consider Zen to be one of those superlative examples of what the human brain can store and serve up in unique and appealing ways at will on most any occasion or assignment. To say his range of knowledge and interests are “eclectic” is understatement. And this is what makes his services as a “possibilities coagulator“ for his clients so valuable and exciting.
Smart fellow! Great ally!

Zen Benefiel is a man of great ideas and passion. You will never find Zen in a box ~ “Out of the Box” thinking is one of his best attributes. He is a wonderful motivational speaker and workshop leader. A few years ago I had the opportunity to bring him in to work with a staff of 15 people for Team Building. He did an outstanding job ~ so much so we still use the information as a benchmark for communication.

Zen Benefiel, literally, takes us with him on his journey from drums to conundrums. His mind is facile as he weaves a narrative ranging from deep within the esoteric/ufology subculture to lessons of marriage, family, and business life. He draws upon archetypal psychology with a particular appreciation for the creative godhead archetype. If you read this book with an open heart, you may find yourself discovering new vistas of your own.

Re-Build Festival presentation on Spectrum Academy – Holistic Education & Learning

Being at the right place at the right time is essential. Engaging a conversation with members of the Global Regeneration CoLab presented an opportunity to share a 20-year old plan that was ahead of its time. Application to join is here.

Originally designed for at-risk youth in Arizona, USA, the concept includes a peer community council, natural cycle-driven goals and objectives for staff and students, housing reflective of ergonomic and eco-sensitive designs, a community technology center and holistic curriculum.

This presentation was given as part of a virtual festival on building regenerative communities held from April 30 – May 2, 2021. It was held at Re-Build.co and had approximately 600 patrons. The event was created and performed in around 90 days, with over 40 different presenters. If you’re interested in the other presentations, please create an account there and you will have access to them.

Zen is an exceptionally well qualified facilitator and manager of group processes. He is very effective watching group participants to ensure they are engaged and draws people into the process. He is very open, an excellent communicator and I enjoy working with him. His experience and education make him an excellent choice for leading groups to consensus and goal accomplishment.

Facilitator, Personality Expert – Four Colors

Do not hire Zen if you will settle for traditional guidance with no surprises. Don’t hire Zen if you merely aim to fulfill some education requirement. You see, Zen is no ordinary consultant or facilitator. Do you have any idea how rare it is to find this kind of genius — a distinguished guru who is a Gandhi-esque idealist and who also happens to have his feet firmly planted on the ground?

So hire Zen because you know you need new information. You know you need to think differently. You realize you had better stop doing what you’ve been doing wrong for too long. And most of all, you can be sure that Zen will deliver the practical tools that will enable you to succeed at higher levels.

Do not be ordinary. Hire Zen.
