What is integrated thinking?
Integrated thinking is higher level thinking. Imagine your mind rising above your daily tasks to see the entire business from a wide perspective. From this vantage point, you can pull thoughts from different areas—integrations—that are invisible to those stuck in a specialized routine rut. This is how every self-made, wealthy person thinks. It's the cognitive process that produces creative breakthroughs and identifies hidden profit opportunities.
Are you feeling trapped in a dead-end job while others seem to find success effortlessly? Most people are stuck in a "hypnotic routine," unable to see the opportunities right in front of them.
Since introducing Project Curiosity and finding areas that impact profits, Mark Hamilton has been asked: exactly what is integrated thinking? Today, he reveals the visual truth behind this powerful concept.
What is integrated thinking and how does it benefit my career?
To understand integrated thinking, you must visualize your mind rising up above your daily tasks:
Higher Level Thinking
A cognitive state where your mind operates from an elevated perspective, looking down at the entire business rather than being trapped in a narrow focal point. From this height, you can see the past, present, and future simultaneously—and pull together integrations that create breakthrough solutions.
When you're stuck in a specialized routine rut, you can only see what's directly in front of you. But when your mind rises to higher level thinking:
- Wide Perspective: You look down at the business from a high vantage point instead of being trapped in tunnel vision
- Connecting the Dots: You pull thoughts from different departments to see integrations invisible to specialized workers
- Temporal Awareness: You can simultaneously see the past, present, and future of the business
- Creative Breakthroughs: You reach for "something spectacular" that has never been done before
Visualize Your Mind Rising
Project Curiosity is what lifts your mind from "down here" to "up here." The integrations begin happening on their own once you're elevated.
How does Project Curiosity lift your mind to higher level thinking?
This is exactly what happened to Hamilton as a teenage dishwasher. Through Project Curiosity, he started observing:
- The curb appeal of the restaurant
- The way the waitresses looked and dressed
- What the customers looked like
- The access to the restaurant from the road
His mind began rising up from his specialized task. He started seeing the wider picture. And then the integrations began happening—by themselves.
How Integrations Snap Together
As Hamilton's mind rose through Project Curiosity, he began pulling together observations like puzzle pieces. The curb appeal. The customers. The location. The access.
Then suddenly—in about 10 seconds—all the pieces snapped together. He saw the missing piece: lack of parking was killing the restaurant.
He pushed in that missing piece, saved the restaurant, and two generations later it's still going strong. That's the power of higher level thinking.
The other dishwashers stayed "down here" in their specialized rut. Hamilton's mind went "way up here" to higher level thinking. Same starting point—completely different destinations.
What happens when your mind rises to higher level thinking?
As your mind rises through Project Curiosity, several things happen:
Integrations
The connections and combinations your mind makes when viewing a business from higher level thinking. Like puzzle pieces coming together, integrations allow you to see patterns, identify missing elements, and create solutions that are invisible to those stuck in specialized thinking.
The Widening Perspective
Your mind rises and you see a wider and wider perspective. You're not stuck staring at your specialized task anymore. You're looking down at the entire business.
From this height, you can reach "over there" and "over here" to pull together something spectacular—something that's never been seen or done before.
That's called creativity.
You enter the world of creative thinking through integrated thinking, through higher level thinking, from looking down at everything.
Down Here vs. Up Here
Down Here (Specialized Rut)
- Trapped in tunnel vision
- Can only see your specialized task
- Hypnotic routine day after day
- Can't see beyond the immediate
- No integrations possible
- Stuck, stagnating, no path forward
Up Here (Higher Level Thinking)
- Wide perspective of entire business
- See past, present, and future
- Pull together integrations
- Identify areas that impact profits
- Creative breakthroughs emerge
- Rising in power and wealth
What is the Neothink Mentality and why is it essential for success?
The Neothink Mentality is more than just a business tool—it's a way to reclaim your power:
The Neothink Mentality
The trained capacity for higher level integrated thinking. This mentality enables you to rise above the "stagnation trap" that keeps most people in repetitive, low-power roles. It's the cognitive foundation of every super-successful, self-made person—and it can be developed through deliberate practice.
Beyond Business: Seeing Through Illusions
Higher level thinking doesn't just help you at work. It allows you to see through all illusions out there used to control you.
In the talk on the Prime Law, Hamilton used high level thinking to pull integrations showing how the Bill of Rights started the "rights direction" in our country—adding the positive. But he also showed how adding rights is now destroying America, and revealed the missing piece: removing initiatory force through the Prime Law.
That's integrated thinking applied at the national level. The same process that saves a restaurant can save a country.
From Stagnation to Power
This is exactly what Hamilton is doing with you. He's taking your mind from "down here"—stuck in the specialized rut—and lifting it "up here" to higher level thinking. From this elevated position, you'll look down at your entire business and begin pulling together integrations of your own.
⛰ The Trench and the Hilltop
Moving from a specialized rut to integrated thinking is like climbing out of a deep, narrow trench to stand on a high hilltop.
In the trench, you can only see the dirt walls directly in front of you. You follow the path laid out, unable to see where it leads or what lies beyond.
On the hilltop, you finally see how the entire landscape connects. You see where the paths lead. You see opportunities. You see the bigger picture that was always there—but invisible from the trench.
The Rising Mind Process
How your mind elevates from specialized rut to integrated thinking
Start in the Specialized Rut
This is where most people are—tunnel vision, hypnotic routine, can't see beyond their task. It's the starting point, not your destination.
Begin Project Curiosity
Take a genuine interest in the business as a whole. Ask coworkers about their jobs. Observe different areas. This expands your awareness.
Feel Your Mind Rising
As your awareness expands, your perspective widens. You begin seeing more and more. Your mind is lifting above the specialized rut.
Integrations Begin Happening
From this elevated position, connections start forming on their own. Like puzzle pieces snapping together, you see patterns others miss.
Enter Higher Level Thinking
You now look down at the entire business, seeing past, present, and future. You identify what impacts profits. Creative breakthroughs emerge.
What happens after you develop the Neothink Mentality?
Hamilton is clear about the sequence: first your mind rises through Project Curiosity and higher level thinking. Then you rise in power and wealth.
The integrations you discover will naturally focus on areas that boost profits—because that's what your elevated mind can now see. And by contributing to profits, you boost your own power in the organization.
This is the exact process behind every super-successful, self-made wealthy person. It's not theory. It's the documented path.
Stick With This Journey
The Neothink Mentality clears away illusions—not just in business, but in society. Hamilton will address the division in our country, revealing how as real as it feels, it's all an illusion. But first, the focus remains on freeing you from your stagnation trap at work. Mind first. Then power. Then wealth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for my mind to "rise" to higher level thinking?
The process begins during Project Curiosity—typically within two weeks of expanded awareness. However, the mind continues rising as you deepen your understanding of the business. Some people experience their first integrations within days; for others it takes weeks. The key is consistent curiosity and observation.
Do I need special intelligence or education for integrated thinking?
No. Integrated thinking is not about IQ or formal education—it's about perspective. Hamilton was a teenage dishwasher when he first practiced it. The Neothink Mentality is a trainable capacity that anyone can develop through Project Curiosity and deliberate practice.
Can I practice higher level thinking if I work alone or remotely?
Yes. Higher level thinking applies to any situation where you expand your awareness beyond your immediate tasks. For remote workers, this means studying the entire business through available information, virtual conversations with colleagues, and observing how different functions connect to create value.
What's the difference between integrated thinking and just being observant?
Observation is gathering information; integrated thinking is synthesizing it from an elevated perspective. Many people observe details but remain at ground level. Integrated thinking happens when your mind rises above and pulls together observations into patterns, connections, and creative solutions.
How do I know if my mind has truly risen to higher level thinking?
You'll notice integrations happening on their own—connections forming without conscious effort. You'll start seeing areas that impact profits. You'll have moments where puzzle pieces snap together. Most importantly, you'll feel liberated from the hypnotic routine that once trapped you.
