The Group

With the word “group” we can understand various different things: certainly the first meaning that emerges is that of something that goes beyond an individual unit to include more people. But we can add another, which is that of a set of individuals connected to each other by a common purpose. And there is another one: more individuals with a common purpose, but also aware of wanting to give life, together, to a specific and particular collective experience that can lead, step by step, to the achievement of that goal. In fact, the first definition would be attributable more to a collection of people – to a more or less small or large crowd – than specifically to a group. An The actual group only begins when a number of people come together to pursue a common goal together.

The Group as an Evolutionary Possibility

Nowadays, from any perspective we look at the path of inner growth, we always meet the group as a space for development and as an instrument for expanding consciousness. Whatever theme we deal with, on whatever project we share, we always talk about the group. This is the real great theme that characterizes our times and that differentiates today’s inner research from that of the past. Today everything happens in a group; this fact can be explained through several factors:
– The group is the fundamental note of the Aquarian era
– The group can multiply forces and resources and therefore produce much more substantial effects and accelerate any development
– The group allows Those who guide us to save energy by creating an amplified transmission which in turn
– Through the group allows everyone, even those who would have difficulty walking a path of self-development on their own, to proceed and accelerate their evolution

Seven Steps in Group Consciousness

We begin to put some seeds of thought in the field of our future co-creative gathering of Planet Within. They are seeds released in freedom, to attract other seeds, other inspirations, other contributions. Together, during Planet Within, we will find a way to unveil how Group Consciousness can be the gateway to the New Human Civilization. We know that the development of group consciousness is a response to a powerful evolutionary energy, defined as the law of elevation or as the law of group progress. This development is marking this time of the life of Humanity, and despite the contrasts and conflicts that characterize every new phase of crisis and learning of the human group, we can see how this process is renewing from within the whole system of human relations.

Group consciousness in business

It may seem strange to reflect on professional, organisational or business groups when thinking about group consciousness, but as we know, the overall progress of humanity is bound in the kaleidoscope of diversity and the progress made by each particle or subset. For this reason, it seems helpful to consider where these professional groups are headed in their consciousness and also what if anything spiritual groups can learn from them.

Individual and Group Synergy

The consciousness of humanity is shifting from a focus upon the individual to that of the group as the unit of evolution. Whether the group is as small as a pair of individuals or as large as a nation, the presence of active, mindful, and loving relationship creates an energetic space that reveals the underlying wholeness of the Sacred. The foundation of this shift in consciousness is one of an appreciation and honouring of the sovereignty and freedom of the individual as a source of will, choice, and love, and a deeper understanding of the group as an expression of synergy.

Leadership and world affairs

The current world situation helps consider how the relationship between leadership and group is evolving, and whether leadership is still a prerogative of individuals. The form of such relationship currently most applied throughout the world is democracy with its multifaceted manifestations, sometime even in blatant contradiction. There are many evident limitations to this model, and it is impossible not to recognize that it is characterized by a form of use of force by the majority against the minority: the enforcement of the will of the majority on the will of the minority. This certainly creates an interesting creative dynamism, in some places similar to a pendulum, but at the same time it does also create scars and resentment which manifest, in best case scenarios, through reversal of policies, and in worst through discrimination, exclusion, arbitrary detentions, etc, i.e. violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
