Each member of every brainstorming group sits with pieces of the puzzle in their possession, while having little if any idea as to how such pieces might possibly relate to the puzzle as a whole.

Given that in any given group there are, on average, eight times more participants than there are meeting leaders, targeting meeting leaders alone in our efforts to improve meetings may be missing the mark.

  The WMS Library Group Mind GM1
In short, the group mind principle of Nature states that; the resulting force generated from the combining of like minds, is geometrically greater than the sum of its parts.
In other words, minds which are focused together upon a common theme, create a mutual force which is not merely additive, but vastly more powerful than any one individual or group of individuals.
Groups of monkeys are much better equipped to survive through their mutuality of perception, one that goes beyond the simple combining of many watching eyes.

  Group behavior and psychoanalysis
As the attachment to the self to the group increases, the sense of self decreases, which leads to anxieties about integrity and hence the true and false self.
In this state, the group members regress to early stages of defense against anxiety, as in the paranoid-schizoid position described by Melanie Klein, including part-object relating, idealization, persecution, splitting and projective identification.
Group life includes significant splitting as parts of each ego are split off and passed around.

The power of the group mind stems from the emotion which is needed to develop and maintain it.
If a group is formed and continues to have regular meetings which are emotionally charged, the energy of the group mind will be kept alive.
Thus the group mind is lifted to a higher level of spirit.

 The Group Mind
A Group Mind, in the Wiccan sense, has nothing to do with cult-like behavior, neither is it a form of ‘mind-control’.

 Ch. 59 - GROUP MIND
One could argue, particularly from this example, that the group mind is simply a statistical average of the minds of all the members of the group.
While the Catholic Church surely has affected the group mind of the Irish, it never affected the group mind of the Japanese, despite the willingness of Jesuit priests to lay down their lives as martyrs in an attempt to make it so.
The mind of the Irish, it seems, was already in accord with the mind of Christianity when Patrick arrived there, while the mind of the Japanese was not ready for the Jesuits even 1200 years later.

 Group Mind   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Group mind, the term, is frequently used to denote the collective conscious of a specific group of people such as a tribe, village, or town, and which is the accumulation of their essential beliefs.
Usually the group mind occurs within a certain location, so the thoughts, fears, hopes, and desires of the inhabitants form a sphere of energy that attaches itself to that area.
The group mind influences the residents by disposing them to the nature of the thought form, or mind set.

 Oracle-level Mind
Such a group mind shares its knowledge freely among all members, but each person continues to think of him or herself as a unique being with a free and separate will.
Of course, there is no absolute need to link the group's thoughts; if this is not done, each person shares the Demeanor and Skills, but appears to be a separate individual with his own knowledge, and may or may not be aware of the conscious memories of the others.
If the group mind is created from a random group of people (say, the crowd waiting for the bus), then the Storyteller should simply assign whatever characteristics she sees fit.

 Herbert Blumer: Social Psychology   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It is extreme in the sense that it regards group life as the determining influence in the development of the child, and, consequently, thinks of original nature as being of minor or of no importance.
According to this view, the group setting in which the child is born and reared consists of separate individuals, such as father, mother, brothers, sisters, neighbors, playmates, relatives, and so on.
The child is born and reared in such primary groups; by participating in their life, it is inducted in the intimacy and personal relations that prevail.

MIND GR We are a group of young philosophers and scientists with a strong interest in questions concerning the mind, consciousness and cognition.
The group – initiated and coordinated by Thomas Metzinger – consists of young researchers from various disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience.
The basic idea of this group is to create a platform for people with one systematic focus in philosophy (typically analytical philosophy of mind or ethics) and another one in empirical research (typically neuro- or cognitive neuroscience).

 Mind control - SourceWatch
Mind control "refers to all coercive psychological systems, such as brainwashing, thought reform, and coercive persuasion.
"Mind control employs deceptive and surreptitious manipulation, usually in a group setting but sometimes working purely linguistically or technologically, for the financial or political profit of the manipulator.
Military training provides many examples, especially the suicide bomber and kamikaze pilot who knew in advance they were going on suicide missions, and require/d careful handling from the moment of decision to the moment of action.

 Coordination and collective mind in software requirements development
A Standish Group report [2] identified clear requirements as the third most important factor for successful project development; incomplete and changing requirements as the second and third most important factors leading to unsuccessful projects; and incomplete requirements as the number-one factor for canceled projects.
If each member of a group has the desire and means to act in ways that further the goals and needs of the group (i.e., "heedfully"), then that group would exhibit behavior that might be described as collectively intelligent, even though it is the individuals who are intelligent, not the group.
One problem with the groups in TC was simply that individuals had few opportunities to talk to one another because of the volume of work and the division of the process into discrete subtasks performed by different groups.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Herd behavior
Attributing such collective behaviour to a "pack mentality" or "group mind" explains little, and is most likely to divert attention from the true explanation of the group's actions.
Interestingly, though the behaviour of the group is evidently irrational, the behaviour of the individuals that cause it is rational at least in the short term, though it does show some abandonment of risk aversion, as the crash usually occurs without much warning.
The idea of a "group mind" or "mob behaviour" was put forward by the French social psychologists Gabriel Tarde and Gustav Le Bon, and was widely adopted by right-wing politicians, particularly in the inter-war years, to justify the repression of demonstrations.

 The 'Mind Control' Test - EffectiveEvangelism.com
Many cults will warn members not to read anything critical of the group, especially if written by an ex-member (who are called names by the cult such as "apostate", "hardened", or "of the devil" etc.).
For example, the group may imply that those who leave will be attacked by the Devil, have a nasty accident, or at least not prosper because they have left "the truth".
For many people in mind control cults, leaving the movement is usually considered the equivalent of leaving God Himself and forfeiting ones salvation.

 Mind Mapping FAQ
A mind map consists of a central word or concept, around the central word you draw the 5 to 10 main ideas that relate to that word.
A mind map lets you rapidly produce an almost infinite number of ideas, and at the same time organize them by placing each idea next to what it is related to.
The act of creating the mind map will have greatly increased how much you absorbed from the book, and if you ever want to review the topic all you need to do is to look at the mind map.

 If You Have a Loved One in a Deceptive, Exploitive Group
Unfortunately, innocent people are often recruited into high demand groups during a vulnerable time in their lives and come under the group's mind control (or psychological manipulation).
As a result of the group's use of sophisticated mind control techniques, a pseudo-identity or personality is formed that suppresses your loved one's authentic self and causes them to surrender control.
They have been deceived by the group's leader to believe that they are "the elect" and the outside world does not understand "God's Truth." As a result, they are instructed to keep all their literature and tapes a secret from non-members, even going so far as to hide it from unconverted mates.
