I have been working in education for almost twenty years. During that time I have experimented with radical approaches to teaching and learning. I have experimented with accelerated learning, learning how to learn, and integrated intelligence. From this research and practical experience, I have developed two practice-based theories, and you will find academic articles about these in this section.
Integrated Inquiry is a research method which reinstates the deeply intuitive ways of knowing of the mystics. It reconnects the researcher with the intuitive and emotional inner worlds, resulting in a vastly more passionate and meaningful experience of research. For a more practical and in-depth coverage of Integrated Inquiry, see my upcoming book The Professor’s Other Brain, available in early 2010.
The Anthony Integrated Learning Method is a way of learning and teaching which also synthesises the rational and the intuitive. It is geared to meet the learning needs of students, necessitated by the dynamic learning environment of the twenty-first century.

This easy-to-read paper summarises the process of Integrated Inquiry (IIQ) - or how to use spiritual intuition during research. The purpose is to initiate a broader discussion on the use of integrated intelligence (or INI) in research. The application of INI in research is referred to as Integrated Inquiry. The first part of this paper briefly defines important terms and situates the idea of integrated intelligence within a historical and civilisational perspective. Yet the most important section of this paper outlines specific and practical ways that INI can be used by the modern researcher. The five INI tools described are the Intuitive Diary, Free-form Writing, Meditative States, The Feeling Sense, and Embracing Synchronicity. The essential argument of this paper is that integrated inquiry can greatly enhance research.
This article will soon be published in the journal Science and Information.

The Anthony Integrated Learning Method (AILM) has been created as an accompaniment to Futures Studies. The method has been developed over nearly twenty years of educational practice across Australia, New Zealand and Asia. It has been inspired by the disciplines of accelerated learning and Futures Studies.
The AILM is a system designed to equip people with the learning skills necessary to adapt and thrive in the world of the 21st century. It has been developed because in the 21st Century things are changing faster than ever before. A traditional knowledge based education is now inadequate to equip young people with the ability to live and work in today's society.

Although this article was written with futurists in mind, it is perfectly useful for all researchers. It outlines how integrated intelligence can be used in the research process, and includes practical tools and examples.
