Resources - Dimensions of Group Life

Everywhere today there are groups of people forming to accomplish some particular aim or other. In every case, certain laws of group endeavor begin to take their toll on the group’s ability to function. This process will continue until the group expires without fulfilling its work, or until it achieves its goals. When a group of people decides to begin a project or endeavor intended to serve the needs of the general populace or to assist in an experiment which will result in useful information for the service of humanity, that group is usually completely unaware of the disciplines which will be demanded of those involved. It is believed that the beneficial purpose, itself, should be enough to cause all to go well and to attract all needed assistance toward its achievement. A group of volunteers Founded and Staffed The Robert Muller School in Arlington, TX, for sixteen years, beginning in 1980. The School became fully accredited from birth through high-school as an alternative to public education. It was the first School to implement Robert Muller’s world-renowned World Core curriculum. In observing the process of this long experiment, a pattern of specific group “tests” or, what came to be called “fires” became apparent. Recognition of these fires can be useful for any group attempting to set in motion activity to achieve a specific goal of service.
