Default OK how do you see our consistent intent?

This is great! I am open to all suggestions! But without the snails please! What do we do to have a collective intention? Do we visualize the same thing/way - I find it a bit impossible. In Daniel Goleman's book Destructive Emotions they tried to do a MRI of the human brain thinking of a green apple. But when ever they did it the second with the same subject the scientist got a different result. Because of the "untrained brain" the subjects were once thinking of a green apple, then the smell of a green apple, an apple pie and the different part of the brain would be activated... only when they brought in people very experienced in meditation could they get the same part of the brain "light up" when thinking of a green apple.

So as far I can see/read except ALG we can't say that we are this "brainy bunch" that can hold the same intention every time and see the same thing. If you have an idea I will be very happy to take part.
