Processmind: A User's Guide to Connecting with the Mind of God

In Processmind Arnold Mindell, therapist and conflict resolution consultant, extends and deepens known patterns behind the universe as evidenced in physics and connects them to basic experiences found in psychology and mystical traditions. Processmind shows not only connections between modern physics, psychology, and the “gods” of spiritual traditions, but also describes practical methods to resolve problems in everyday life. In 20 inspiring and interactive chapters, this book provides tested methods that actualize our deepest, unitive consciousness for ourselves, relationships, organizations, and world. What is "Processmind?" It is an earth-based experience of the “mind” behind our personal and large group processes. "Processmind" is perhaps our most basic, least known, and greatest power. The concept combines the physics of nonlocality with specific altered states of consciousness found in peak experiences. By calling on ideas about Aboriginal totem spirits, quantum entanglement and nonlocality, Mindell describes "Processmind" as the "structure of God experiences." Drawing upon his extensive in individual and large-group conflict resolution, Mindell has created a kind of user’s guide to the universe’s hidden dimensions. However, Mindell himself advises against believing any processmind theory or related belief system about the universe’s possible code. Don’t believe anything until you test and prove that a theory works in everyday life! Such questioning, he hopes, will bring the belief systems of spiritual traditions and sciences closer together. It is for this reason that Processmind includes more than 30 exercises designed to help readers experience "Processmind" for themselves. Mindell’s Processmind can help readers with dreams, body symptoms, relationships, and organizational and large-group conflict issues by guiding them to rely upon earth-based inner experience and rational thinking. A special workbook section at the end of the book allows readers to record the details of their engagement with the exercises.

About the author: Arnold (Arny) Mindellis the author of 20 books in 23 languages, includingDreambody, The Shaman’s Body, Quantum Mind,andQuantum Mind and Healing,andProcessMind. Arny has an M.S. from M.I.T., was a Jungian training analyst, and has a Ph.D. in psychology. He is also known in the area of conflict management for his Sitting in the Fire and for his integration of psychology and physics, work on dreams, bodywork, relationships, and for interventions in near death situations. Arny Mindell developed process work or what is called today, “process oriented psychology” (p.o.p.), in the mid 1970's. Beginning with Taoism, physics and Jungian psychology, by the 1990’s, he expanded process work to include quantum theory and a deeper form of democracy that applied to all states of consciousness for individuals and groups. Now process work applies to individual therapy, body problems, coma and near death experiences, large group, and organizational change management. Arny’s recent research and practice has lead to “process-oriented Ecology” integrating large group conflict work with environmental issues. Arny’s wife Amy Mindell is best known for her development of the metaskill concept in process oriented psychology, for her process work on comatose states, and the inclusion of art, music and puppets in the process work paradigm. Together with their many colleagues in Portland and around the world, Drs. Amy and Arny Mindell are co-founders of the original school of process oriented psychology in Zurich, Switzerland in the early 1980’s. Today, the Mindells consult and work as facilitators on community and conflict problems for groups, cities and governments worldwide. They teach process work, give personal therapy and classes in their home city of Portland, Oregon, USA and work in many places around the world.
