ABSTRACT
At heart, the MBSR curriculum has remained absolutely true to the form that it entered the world with in 1979. Acquired intelligence comes through practicing, through repetition, attainment of goals and the development of skills and competencies learned, understood, and experientially refined over time. Having established some sense of the instrumental dimension of intelligence as it expresses itself in the MBSR curriculum, let's now turn the people attention to another intelligence. At heart, the MBSR curriculum has remained true to the formlessness it entered the world with in 1979. The curriculum has changed because, like everything else in the world, it is constantly changing. Ultimately, and in a very palpable way, the ‘curriculum’ of MBPs are none other than the people life intersecting and comingling with the lives of the people the people will have the privilege of sharing in and engaging with week by week in the teaching space.
