The Mindeering Project

Contribute

Anyone can contribute. Write, record or photograph something that serves the mind, and we will read it carefully.

The Mindeering Project is built by the people who read it. If you have something to say about living consciously, reasonably and without prejudice, we want to read it.

What you can send

  • Articles and essays, from a short reflection to a long argument.

  • Video and audio: talks, conversations, readings.

  • Image galleries: photo essays and visual work.

How it works

  1. Create a free account and confirm your email.

  2. Choose the name you publish under. A pen name is welcome; it just can't be blank or "Anonymous".

  3. Submit your piece from your dashboard. Before you send it, you confirm it honours the Ten Commandments below.

  4. A reviewer reads it against the same ten points. You see their checklist, comments and decision as soon as the review is released, and you can reply, edit and resubmit.

  5. Approved pieces are published under your name, with a public profile that lists everything you have published.

Before you write

Read the Ten Commandments. They are not rules for their own sake: they describe the kind of writing that persuades rather than dictates, and every piece in the library has met all ten.

The Ten Commandments

The ‘10 commandments’ offer a broad guide to the kind of content the platform is looking for.

  1. Commandment I of X

    Thy work shall be mindful of mindfulness.

  2. Commandment II of X

    If thou pour thy deepest emotions onto paper, they shall shine in the eyes of the reader.

  3. Commandment III of X

    A secular thought encounters less friction and travels freely through the minds of the young and the old, the Buddhist and the Pandit.

  4. Commandment IV of X

    Evidence and logic produce a harmony that is irresistible to the patient mind.

  5. Commandment V of X

    If thou art not fair and square, what is the point of playing the game?

  6. Commandment VI of X

    Enlightenment and entertainment are friends, not foes.

  7. Commandment VII of X

    Thou shalt ridicule not for the sake of ridicule, but to make a superior point.

  8. Commandment VIII of X

    Thou shalt be freer than a bird, a lofty hawk soaring in the sky.

  9. Commandment IX of X

    Thou shalt wear originality as a human ought, for it is what distinguishes thee from the brute.

  10. Commandment X of X

    A funny bone is not a bone of contention, but a meal of joy to be relished.
