The Center for Self-Actualization University (CFSAU)  is a Self-Development University. Unlike other quality universities which focus on career and academic skill,  CFSAU is
focused on the personal development of the individual. CFSAU is an extension of The Center for Self-Actualization Studies and the curriculum for CFSAU is developed from
the strict research results (both primary and secondary) of the Center.

The Center for Self-Actualization University is made for you - this is your University.  No matter who you are or who you want to become, no matter what you do
or what you want to do - everything happens in your skin. It is YOU that is important - everything else in this world is activity and ALL those activities find their
value in YOU who does them. The father, the mother, the friend, the boss, the politician, the leader, the worker, the police officer, a doctor or nurse, the sports star,
the movie star - whatever IT is, is but an activity of a PERSON. This world is not short of activities, its filled with them, but it is of common conclusion that it is
short of great people, authentic people, peaceful people, righteous people, people of great destiny.

At the Center for Self-Actualization University we focus on the being and not the doing - the rest of the worlds Universities focus on the doing, and we absolutely
need the doing, we need people to learn to do and to be active, but it is the philosophy of this University that the true value of the activity is found in the being of
the one who does the activity. And that is where YOU come in - you are the being. The literature is filled with studies that show the supreme value of being, of the
individual first then the excellency of the activity second. Excellency never resides in the activity it only resides in the YOU who is excellent. Organizations, Schools,
Houses of Politics, Social Organizations, Hospitals etc. ,all recognize that for the good organization and the good society, you need the good person. The best
doctors, fathers,  mothers, workers, leaders, managers, etc., are those who know themselves and who are healthy in their mind-body-emotion system - when that is
not right, the activity is not right.

It is the sole intent of this University to continue to research and develop programs so that YOU can find that seed that resides deep inside, the seed of being, that
expression of your destiny. The programs of this University are very personal as we help you find that expression of your destiny, that seed of your unique being
that resides deep inside of YOU. It is through the interactions of the people in the programs, You, the researcher, the writer, the professor/coach etc., where you
develop your healthy mind-body-emotion system. Then, whatever you put your hands to, whatever way or method you decide to express your being, it is done in
excellence, it is done in beauty, it is done as your artwork.

There are today many good writings and programs for personal excellence - many of them are astounding in what they can offer to the person who can implement
them in his or her life, great value and change. The biggest challenges to personal development and excellency of being is not in the lack of information available
or in the lack of excellent people sharing and training. The biggest challenge is the human mind-body-emotion system. We, YOU, me, and us, are a holistic system.
We can believe that we have a body and also a mind and also our emotions, as if they can function without each other. The being is not made up of chunks of things
in which we can try to fix one and leave the other. You cant have excellent thought if you have poor health. You cant have great health if you have poor thought.
You cant have great emotions if you have bad habits - we are a system of mind-body-emotion (and soul) and therefore a complete program of excellence for the
mind-body-emotion system has also to be a system of excellence.

The challenge of most personal excellence programs is not that they do not offer excellence, the challenge is in the living being of excellence, YOU. Your being is
uniquely part of this  mind-body-emotion system and therefore, the greatest long-term change toward the excellence of being takes place through a system of
excellence that is designed and presented in unity with who YOU really are.

Given this great opportunity that we now have between YOU and US at the University, the second challenge to any personal development program for excellence
is that the current state of being that YOU are in is a result of who you have been. All your moments in time have left an imprint, a stamp of history caught in a
moment in the current time and therefore the change you require has to come as a part of the moments that you missed in your history. The system now became
even larger, YOU, me, and us, are also a system of humanity and constantly share exchanged space, the atoms that once were in me, may now be in you. Or, even
the atoms that once were in someone 5000 years ago, may now be in you - your excellency of being is tied to the human system.

The philosophy of the University is that your excellence, your expression of your destiny increases in possibility when you continue to receive  from this system of
humanity. YOU are not alone, you did not become who you are today by yourself. Your moments in time were molded and fitted through a community of people. It
is not wrong or bad that you are who you are as a result of your experiences in this human society. We are a system and are so intertwined, therefore the change to
your core being does not take place outside of community, but inside community, being changed, and then changing. Developing personal excellence of YOUR
being cannot take place as you sit and read and watch and strive by yourself because it is not yourself who brought you to where you are today.

It is the philosophy of the University that all the great personal development programs, all the latest research in body, mind, and emotion, and all the opportunities
that lend for YOUR change happen best and happen deepest when they happen as part of a holistic approach (remember the mind-body-emotion system) and when
they happen in close contact and communication with others of like passion. Many people who have a great desire to change and develop will go to weekend
workshops or watch videos or read books etc., but find it a challenge when they get back into their old pattern of life and their old pattern of their local social
order. We at the University have found that great information can come from these workshops and seminars, but sometimes that information gets lost or forgotten
because of other parts of the mind-body-emotion system that seek for fulfillment.

The bottom line. There are some great teachers, writers, speakers, philosophers, etc., who have so much to offer and who have and will have added great value to
the people who go to listen and learn. But, there has always been and always will be the challenge of taking what was learned and implementing it into a life
changing process. This challenge happens because others parts of your system sabotage the change, the world you go back to after the seminar has not changed,
and you find that trying to do it by yourself just does not work (you did not get where you are by yourself, but lived as part of a system). Given some of these
challenges that YOU will face or have faced, the University uses a holistic systems approach to your personal development, as well as we are a community of those
who are well on our journey of inner and outer excellence and we offer you DAILY interaction - when we send you on a journey of self-discovery and of self
excellence, we go with you on this journey. We do not sit with you and help you pack  your bags and then wish you good luck, we walk with you, all of us, greater
than luck, a safe journey of self-discovery and self-actualization.

Based from our research findings at the University, we offer you multiple opportunities along this journey. Each opportunity is an experience in personal change
and development, we are with you on that journey - you decide which road or which path looks and feels and sounds the best for your unique journey -
