What is the metaphor of the Brook?

In a nutshell, the Brook is a practical philosophy of life based upon the metaphor of flowing water in the form of a stream:

  • Life is the flow of actions, just as the brook is the flow of water.
  • Without the flow of water, there is no brook.
  • Without the flow of actions, there is no life.
  • Mind is the flow of thoughts
  • Without the flow of thoughts, there is no mind.

Your thoughts dictate your actions, which determine the path of your life, just as the flow of water carves the path of the brook. Thus, to a great degree you are what you think and believe, but most importantly it is what you finally do that counts.

Four key aspects of life’s journey are captured in the metaphor of the Brook. These form the Four Secrets of the Brook. These secrets are interwoven with your desires, thoughts, values and actions. They also consider other navigators of the waters who influence your flow and thus your life’s journey.

The four secrets of the brook provide the basis for understanding and improving the quality of your life, no matter what stage of your journey you find yourself in. Since everything changes and flows all the time, we must continuously evolve and grow to get where we want to go.

This, in a nutshell, is the nature and purpose of the Brook.
