Membership Levels
There are three levels of membership for 1) provisionals, 2) operatives, and 3) facilitators.
Provisionals are the new members who get some basic training in resonance before becoming operatives. They keep the provisional status for three months or more, during which time they can decide whether they really want to be a part of the group and, if so, whether as provisionals or operatives or facilitators. Operatives are members who’ve done the provisional groundwork and who, committed now to group harmony and inner work, have deeper access into the private portion of the website. Facilitators have gone a step further to learn how to help manage a group and how to resolve conflicts and disputes among members.
Accomplishing the provisional groundwork allows operatives and facilitators to work together in harmony and mutual respect… as much as humanly possible. It’s that harmony among operatives and facilitators that provides fertile soil in which the spirit group can begin to nurture ITC bridges and receiving stations here on Earth for suitable researchers within the group... those with an innate aptitude to forge an ITC bridge.
(Here's an article that discusses that innate aptitude for ITC... tip: search on "emotional lance" midway through the article...)
Once there is a sustained harmony in the group and the contact field becomes stable, the spirit group, theoretically, will be able to use our technical equipment (phones, computers, radios, and other electronics) to share information with our members in the most miraculous ways.
Provisionals. After joining, a new member does some inner work and assimilates the group’s afterlife knowledge base. They will also develop a sense of what role(s) in the group to which they feel drawn (experimenter, writer, meditator, cosmologist….) and whether they wish to collaborate with the group as operatives or facilitators.
Provisionals have very limited access to the private site with its chatrooms and experimental sites, since emotional “rough edges” can disrupt group harmony and destabilize the contact field. Their main responsibilities are just to do the inner work and to digest the afterlife knowledge that all members agree on, in order to polish up those rough edges that are inherent in human personalities, and to try to become a part of the "one mind" of the group by striving for a conscious connection with finer spirit.
There will probably be some milestones along the way, and it will probably take three months or longer to work as provisionals (depending how much time and effort they put into it) before moving on to become operatives to get deeper access into the website for more intimate collaboration with other members.
Operatives. After a few months of learning about the afterlife (as understood by the group) and of doing the inner work for self-refinement, a provisional member can become an operative. They could get involved in the chats, meetings, and inner workings of the group, all done through the big, private portion of the website.
Facilitators. A few members might want to learn about group management and conflict resolution, and they become facilitators of the group. Most of the administrative work for the group (managing the website and facilitating meetings, for example) would probably be done by facilitators.
