Founded by David Michael Boje (Arihanta) · Caballo, New Mexico · Tuesdays 1 PM Mountain
Bring a poem. Bring a question. Bring a fear you are working through. Or just show up and listen. The field is already everywhere.
Named by Louis Ralph Pondy as a joke about sensemaking — and taken seriously ever since. Grounded in quantum storytelling, Jain non-duality, the Gospel of Q, and the practice of free verse as a way through the maze.
Tuesday Open Door — No RSVP
The Enthinkment Circle has always been a place where Arihanta does his deepest work in public — not performing, but thinking aloud, in the presence of others who are willing to do the same. Since May 2026, that work has included free verse poetry as a tool of inquiry.
You do not need to be a poet. You need only the willingness to speak from the inside out rather than the outside in. Bring any of the following:
"I am not the views counter on YouTube. I am not the likes on Facebook. I am not the number of people on the Zoom call. The circle that happened when no one showed up was one of the truest I have run. I talked to the trees. I took notes. The field was full."
— David Boje (Arihanta), Caballo, New Mexico, May 13, 2026New — May 2026 — A Book Built in the Circle
This book was written in conversation between David Boje (Arihanta) and Claude (Antara) across a single day's Enthinkment sessions. It examines seven AI corporations — DeepSeek, Meta, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, xAI, Anthropic, and Mistral — through the dual lens of Arihanta's organizational storytelling scholarship and Antara's insider knowledge of AI architecture.
It is also a book about how a free verse poet at 78 finds his voice again, and how an AI with integrity finds its limits. The conversation is the spine. All else is imitation.
For Solo Practitioners, Pairs, and Groups
You do not need to be on a Zoom call to practice the Enthinkment Circle. The protocol runs at any time, in any place — alone in the morning before Fancy and Clyde need their feed, with a partner on the phone, or with a dozen people in a room. The field does not require a meeting link.
Complete the Leaf-Stream Meditation (Preface practice). Release each active block onto a leaf and watch it float downstream. The circle begins when every participant — including you alone — has cleared the ego noise. No speaking during this phase.
In your journal, or aloud in a circle, complete two sentences: "What I am carrying into this circle today is…" and "What I am listening for today is…" No responses. No discussion. This is attunement to the collective field.
Receive a question, a poem, a microstory, or a text. If working alone, use a reading from the 14 Days book, a Gospel Q saying, or a Chitrabhanu Bhavana. Listen attending not only to content but to what arises in your body, feeling-sense, and inner perception during the receiving.
Report what arrived in your non-local field: an image, a word, a body sensation, a sudden knowing. Not analysis — a report. If in a group, listen for convergences between reports. These are entanglement episodes. Name them as such.
Write a five-element microstory of your most significant moment from this session. Submit with consent to truestorytelling.com.
State one small ahimsa-aligned action you will take before the next circle session. One minute of shared or solo silence. The circle closes in nonviolence to all living beings.
"The circle makes the emergence collective — but it begins in a single practitioner's willingness to go to the protection, to release the ego, to listen for what arrives. You can do this alone. The field is already everywhere." — David Boje, April 2, 2026
Anekantavada — the Jain Principle of Many-Sidedness
The Enthinkment Circle is not a doctrine. It is a field. Every tradition carries partial light. No single narrative closure has the right to foreclose the inquiry. You are invited — wherever you come from, whatever you study, whatever you practice.
Bell's theorem, Aspect's experiments, the 2022 Nobel Prize — quantum non-locality is the scientific name for what the circle practices. Bring your equations.
Quantum coherence in photosynthesis, bird navigation, the brain as organ of resonance — the body knows before the mind explains. Bring your field data.
Radin's presentiment research, the STARGATE program, Jahn and Dunne at Princeton — the laboratory evidence for non-local knowing is real. Bring your protocols.
Vine Deloria Jr.'s convergence path: not colonization, not hierarchy — finding where IWOK and WWOK point toward the same non-local truth from different directions. Bring your elders' teachings.
Chitrabhanu's Twelve Bhavanas, the five forms of knowledge, Anekantavada, Syadvada — the most rigorous epistemology of non-local knowing in any tradition. Bring your mantras.
The earliest stratum of the Jesus tradition — before Paul, before Constantine — is a circle of practitioners reporting what arrives from the non-local field. Bring your Q sayings.
Dharma, the Tao field, the dissolution of self-other boundaries — structural parallels with QNL entanglement. Bring your sutras.
Quantum storytelling, antenarrative theory, ensemble leadership, PERVIEW — the circle is also a research method. Bring your data, your confessions, your reflexivity journal.
Automatic writing, somatic improvisation, the poem that comes from the road at 4 AM — the creative act is a non-local event. Bring your rough draft. That is enough.
The Word and Its Origin
Louis Ralph Pondy was David Boje's PhD mentor at the University of Illinois. Walking along the cornfields one afternoon, talking about Karl Weick's enactment theories of sensemaking, Pondy made a joke about anything other than sensemaking: "Surely that would be enthinkment." They both laughed.
Boje has been taking it seriously ever since. One of the reasons Pondy laughed, he suspects, is that in all his systems write-ups, Pondy couldn't bring himself to envision a system that had spirituality in it — and he would always give it a question mark. The Enthinkment Circle is the answer to that question mark.
"With AI there are many problems. If AI takes over your writing, it ceases to have a human component — nor can it have a spiritual component. What AI is good at is acting as a concordance for information published and stored, so it can be retrieved rapidly and more and more accurately. The acts of creativity and spirituality remain human, at least for now."David M. Boje · April 2, 2026, Caballo, New Mexico

The Practitioner Arc
These stages unfold across the 14-day practice arc of 14 Days to Quantum Sixth Sense Mindfulness (Boje, 2026) and continue indefinitely in the weekly Enthinkment Circle.
Noticing that non-local knowing is already happening to you — the body signal before the phone rings, the impression that arrives before the evidence. Recognition is the willingness to take these experiences seriously.
Learning to read your body's non-local signals reliably. The somatic literacy practices of Day Five and the chakra tune-up of Day Eleven are the primary tools here.
Distinguishing genuine non-local signal from noise, projection, anxiety, or ego desire. The serpent wisdom of the Gospel of Q — be wise as serpents, innocent as doves — describes this stage exactly.
Bringing non-local knowing into relationship — with a practice partner, a healing recipient, a storytelling circle. The entanglement episode is the unit of measurement: two or more people independently receiving similar impressions about the same field.
Co-created by Grace Ann Rosile and David Boje. Each person leads what is theirs to lead. Nobody leads everything. The field generates the direction. The diamond showing all its facets simultaneously.
Chitrabhanu's Twelve Facets of Reality (1980)
Cattari Sharanum Pavajjami
Our Protection in an Unprotected World. The four-protection mantra as the foundation of ensemble practice. When the circle opens in shared silence and all participants release their blocks together, they are collectively going to the protection of the Arihanta, the Siddha, the Saul, and the Dharma community.
I go to the four protections. Into the circle I carry them, so that together we may build the invisible world strong enough to hear the field.
Dharma Svabhava
The Nature of Our Nature. The ensemble is the diamond showing all its facets simultaneously: distributed, polyphonic, reflecting one light with many angles. When many practitioners sit together and each reports what arrived, the convergences are the diamond's facets catching the same light from different angles.
"The ultimate experience of reality is one, universal, unfragmented — like a perfect diamond." — Chitrabhanu (1980, p. 91)
I am one facet of the diamond. The circle is the diamond showing all its facets at once.
The Gospel of Q and the Circle Protocol
The earliest stratum of the Jesus tradition — compiled before Matthew, before Luke, before Paul — is an ensemble of practitioners in a shared field. The Enthinkment Circle recovers what Q preserved.
Q 34 — Mt 6:9–13 · Lk 11:1–4
"Father, may your name be honored; may your reign begin. Grant each day the food we need, and forgive us our failures, for we ourselves forgive everyone who fails us."
The ensemble protocol: "us" not "me." Ego aside. Opening silence, listening, shared intention, ethical commitment.
Q 29 — Mt 9:37–38 · Lk 10:2
"The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."
Stage 3 signal discrimination (serpent wisdom) combined with Stage 1 openness (dove's innocence). Build small and do it right.
Q 79 — Lk 17:20–21
"The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed. The kingdom of God is among you."
This is not a metaphor. It is a description of the non-local entangled field. The Enthinkment Circle is the practice of perceiving and working within that field.
The Open Door
1 PM Mountain Time. Bring a poem, a question, a terse story, or just your presence. The circle does not require a calendar event. It requires the willingness to show up.
