Sensory-Resistive Method

If quantum reality teaches us any one thing, it is that distinctions we make between ourselves as people, between groups or between nations are merely one aspect of reality - the particle aspect. We must not forget that the wave aspect connects us to everyone and everything else, not just externally but internally.

What we can do is explore what we understand by a group mind in the present. We can engage with the process of which we are a part, and be aware that our participation changes and shapes that process. Beyond that, we can only remain open to what might emerge.

The sensory process equates to the exploration of quantum possibilities, and the executive to the resolution of these into a fixed reality. The sensory/resistive distinction relates very clearly to the difference between the wave (sensory) function and the particle (resistive) function. Quantum reality demonstrates that all of us have both wave and particle aspects, although we may operate more in one mode than the other.
