Resonance |
To promote resonance, ITC group members can try to be of “one mind,” sharing common values and beliefs. One-mindedness among researchers allows for resonance between the Earth group and the spirit group… like radios all set to the same frequency.
Unity of mind comes easily to spirits in the finer realms, and we humans have a finer spiritual part within us that also tends toward unity and selfless service to others. However…
Unity of mind is made difficult for humans on Earth by our carnal “outer shell,” which is motivated largely by personalities, hormones, and egos. The international ITC community today is like most other big networks in which people try to share results, to learn from each other, and just to try to get along. There's a lot of good sharing going on, but there are also showboaters, prima donnas, bullies, drama queens, whiners, people-pleasers, and nonplayers.
Why? Because we're human.
As the old cartoon character Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
(Here's an article about the troubles that egos and personalities can cause in ITC research... )
Many ITC researchers today prefer to work alone... and who can blame them? There are so many personality problems they have to contend with when working in a group. That's a problem we hope to overcome with this website template and the ITC groups that might evolve from it.
New members can be afforded time to assimilate the group values (mission, afterlife understanding, self-evaluation, etc.) and to integrate them into their own worldview and behavior. Constant attention to one-mindedness, through conscious connection to finer spirit, will minimize the troubles caused by our personalities, egos, and hormones.
That one-mindedness involves everyone being “on the same page” in terms of our afterlife understanding in general, of the spirit team in particular, of our group mission, and of our over-reaching desire to put principles above personalities in the course of collaboration.
