This pioneering work in teaching and transpersonal psychology explores the dynamics of collective consciousness in the classroom. Combining philosophical research with personal accounts collected in excess thirty years, Christopher M. Bache examines the artful influences that radiate invisibly around teachers taken in the character of they work--unintended, cognitive resonances that fly back up between teachers and students in the classroom. While these kinds of synchronistic connections are ofttimes overlooked by traditional academics, Bache demonstrates that they occur also frequently and are too pointed to subsist dismissed as mere coincidence. Drawing immediately after Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic fields, Bache proposes that well-tense courses generate "learning fields" around them, forms of collective consciousness that be possible to trigger new insights and startling physical transformations. Moving beyond theory, this main division is rich with student stories and offers practical, hands-on strategies for teachers who requirement to begin working with these acquired knowledge fields to take their teaching to a additional conscious level.
