The Facilitator’s Processmind: Mysticism and Reality
with Arny and Amy Mindell
April 19-21 London 2008
The Irish Centre, 52,
Camden Square, Camden, London NW1
Inner, relationship and world conflicts involve at least two parties in tension, and the hope for a missing 3rd. This 3rd might be a wise elder, or a special facilitative state of mind that can deeply touch everyone involved and resolve issues.
In this seminar we describe a necessary “3rd” in the form of a very special altered state of consciousness that is available to everyone, with any background or training. We call this state, the “processmind.”
Mystics name this state according to the terms of their particular traditions, e.g. Allah, God, Yahweh, Christ, Buddha Mind, Tao, the ‘Unus Mundus’, Totem Spirits… to name but a few. By exploring the omniscient and omnipresent qualities characteristic of all or most of these “god-experiences”, we will be able to describe, experience and apply the “processmind” as the 3rd. The process mind is an organizing field principle behind many, perhaps all psychological phenomena. Aspects of it are also found in physics.
Entanglement. A father of quantum theory, Erwin Schrödinger described “entanglement” as a fundamental property of the universe. He speculated that entanglement might occur when two particles emerging from a special source remained interconnected regardless of the space between them. Even if one particle is on earth while the other is on the moon, if you observe what’s happening to the one on earth, you will in principle know about the one on the moon! Einstein was upset with this possibility. How can there be such a “disregard” for the space in between things? Einstein called this “spooky action at a distance” and hoped it would prove quantum theory to be incorrect. But today Schrödinger’s entanglement ideas have been proven and are an accepted part of physics.
In this seminar, we will show that entanglement is also characteristic of the processmind, enabling interconnections and solutions almost beyond our everyday imaginations. New processmind methods recently discovered will be used to help resolve inner personal, and relationship problems, and facilitate business and open forums.
Each seminar day, there will be time for theory, discussion, demonstrations in the centre, individual and dyad processes that can be understood and used by beginners and people with advanced experience in processwork or other facilitative methods. Our daily schedule will be:
1 God Processes: The power of entanglement in innerwork
2 Duality and Oneness In Relationship; the mysterious space between us
3 The Facilitator’s Trance Dance in World Events

Οι ετοιμασίες για το Worldwork έχουν αρχίσει! Σήμερα, συναντηθήκαμε στην Κομοτηνή, με την ομάδα εμψυχωτών, από το Δημιουργικό Εργαστήρι Νέων (στο πλαίσιο του Προγράμματος Εκπαίδευσης Μουσουλμανοπαίδων), που θα συμμετάσχει στο Worldwork του Λονδίνου. Είδαμε σε βίντεο μια Διεργασία Ομάδας από το Worldwork στην Washington, D.C (1999)., με θέμα τα Βαλκάνια, κουβεντιάσαμε τη δομή της διεργασίας, παρεμβάσεις των συντονιστών, και βρήκαμε αναλογίες με την δουλειά τους στην κοινότητα εδώ στη Θράκη. Η συνέχεια στο Λονδίνο σε λίγες εβδομάδες….
