*Group Dynamics And The Association's Example*



Q:  I wanted to explore the idea of decision-making in this
transformational time.

B:  Oh, all right, you go right ahead.

Q:  Okay.  (Laughter)  The exploration involves that it seems to be that a
lot of people are having visions of bringing heaven to earth, and are
gathering together in groups.  And I wanted to know if you could comment,
and perhaps use the idea of the Association and how it is in the
Association where different civilizations come together and make decisions.

B:  The decisions are obvious; the paths are obvious.  When you /all/ work in
service and you are all serving, and all acting spontaneously on the things
which excite you the most, with full integrity, then you automatically,
synchronistically come together when and where you need to, and all the
decisions that need to be made are very obvious and they are simply acted
upon.

Q:  My perception is that in a number of these groups where people are
coming together they have a slightly different prismatic view of what the
vision is...

B:  Yes, of course.

Q:  ... and they tend to hold to /their/ idea of what the vision is.

B:  Well, once again, if you understand that all of these views are still
valid and relevant, then you can extract from each other whatever you can
learn by the different perspective that the other has and simply continue
on your way.  Interacting, moving together, moving apart, collecting with
other groups, breaking apart, until you have this seething ocean of
interactions and relationships going on, all respecting the other's points
of view, and all realizing that all the different ways are all basically
winding up at the same place.

Q:  It seems from what you said earlier that, in fact, along those same
lines, each person can go ahead and complete their vision...

B:  Basically, yes.

Q:  ... all simultaneously.

B:  Yes.

Q:  Okay.

B:  Again, any association you make with what you call different
individuals within a group, can simply be very transitory.  They don't have
to remain in order to accomplish the idea that is there.  Individuals can
move from group to group.  Even as in our society, what you call our
ancient history, we had a version of what you call your countries, but they
were not the limited and restricted borders that you have created yours to
be.  They were different experiments of different lifestyles of different
ways that individuals could live. And we simply extracted, from each and
every experiment, what we felt was the best representation of something
that could be applied to the collective whole, and bit by bit the barriers
were dissolved.  No one country remained a particular country, no
individuals were expected to remain within a particular experiment.

Q:  And within the Association, because of the level at which everyone is
interacting with everyone else, there is already a sense of underlying
agreement.

B:  Of course; because /that/ is what gets you into the Association to begin
with.

Q:  And so, where we run upon disagreements within working within groups on
similar visions...

B:  Yes?

Q:  You are simply suggesting to allow that to be a mirror for, perhaps,
breaking off with that group and then coming back together at a later time?

B:  Yes, it is all a part of your experimentation.  The idea simply is that
we recognize that there is no one way to understand the idea of Infinite
Creation; because if there were, there would only be one person, and then
you wouldn't have to worry about getting together with anyone else.
(Laughter)

Q:  Thank you so much.

B:  Thank you.
