Further on Peer Groups and A New Way of Relating
by Jane Ilene Cohen, copyright © June 21, 2001
The purpose of the peer groups is about coming together in a way that creates the conditions for a new and more enlightened consciousness or experience of reality to emerge. It is not about coming together to create an agenda for change.
The group supports, strengthens and upholds this new consciousness of reality for each participant, enabling its members to relate to each other and other people in a way that upholds this new emerging experience of reality.
This is a new and very powerful way of relating to others. The strength of our connection to the new emerging concept of reality, enables this form of relating to have a radically transforming effect, and allows the Divine Plan to unfold itself. This form of relating originates from the awareness and expression of our own enlightened self-interest, and our in-the-moment, live experience, which is the gateway to a larger, more conscious and more empowered experience. (Please see previous writings for explanations of what I mean by "enlightened self-interest" and "in-the-moment, live experience.")
The form of change these groups and this form of relating is about is based on being in the world in a new way not on doing something. What we choose to do, and the world we create around us, is an expression of our experience of reality. Our experience of reality is what needs to change; everything else follows from there.
