Live Learning. Teaching and Collective Consciousness

Each of us is an individuality, a separate soul with our own life experience, aspirations, and dreams. At the same time, we are always part of something bigger—a collective, a family, a sports team; after all, we are part of humanity. In his research, Professor of Religious Studies Christopher M. Baich addresses the phenomenon of "collective fields" of consciousness that arise during close interactions among people in a group. Using students from one course as an example, he demonstrates that a collective is not a soulless "stupid" crowd, but a separate living environment in which, with proper work on the "common field," anything is possible, up to reading each other's thoughts! His methods of working with energies and the atmosphere inside the classroom are a fascinating account from a witness and a useful guide for anyone who wants to gain more from interactions with people without losing themselves but rather amplifying their strengths and knowledge.
