Dear Lynne McTaggart et al,...regarding the forum of The Intention Experiment...

[Joey Riley]

Have you considered that the forum and its manifestations could be a worthy study in its own right? The different personalities, groups and agendas and the various forms of expression used, has been extremely fascinating. A microcosm reflecting the whole of society. We have all come together with a common goal, we are all striving for peace, yet there is much discord and discussion about how to best attain our goal or what the goal really is.

Hi Joey, Desmond Morris would certainly have found this site very interesting. A state of order is arrived at through an inner acceptance of diversity. I have enjoyed the diversity of debate on this site and believe that when the processes are understood they will be multifaceted.

Many people looking at the same process will come up with their own perceptions on what is going on and perhaps, many of them are reporting accurately 'from their own' perspective?

Its the disabling and negative game of 'I am right and you are wrong' that needs to come to an end, in order to make sense of a multi dimensional process.

Many could be right when looking at a multi dimensional problem from different perspectives?

If I hold my hand up I see the either the front or the back, another person standing opposite me would see my hands opposite side so both description would be different. Which one of us would have the correct description of my hand? What would happen if I played the I am right and you are wrong game?

This is where logic falls flat on its face as both people descriptions would accurate from their own perspectives.

The answers to the intention process will not be found by logic. The diversity of the group is its strength and not its weakness as enables us all to look at the process from many different angles.

Its the stepping out side of the box of conventional thinking, that will lead to solutions.

I am both watching others and looking in the mirror! :o)

Dear Joey and everyone else,

I think that is a very good idea. Although our main work is to examine the effects of our intention on Sri Lanka, I've also been intrigued to examine the effects on ourselves, individually and as a group. I hope you all have kept a diary of your experiences. I'll ask you to share them on the site while we wait for results from Sri Lanka.

Warm wishes,

Lynne McTaggart
