Since this discussion has drifted slightly into the idea of "group focus", I thought I would add my own ideas and context.
Over the last nearly ten years, I have tried the 'group targeting" of the Astral Pulse Island, the EIC Barbecue and only had very limited results. Honestly, I had no visuals and only limited, what I could define as, energetic impressions of each place and some of the possible people there.
According to psychology, I am like most males and primarily dependent on visual stimuli and so I expect direct visual feedback in my astral excursions...the trouble is, I don't always get visuals and that becomes quite frustrating. Through many experiences, I had to learn to experience through different and mostly energetic and non-visual means. This is a different form of learning: Learning from understanding of energy, complicated by emotional context, complicated by contexts I still do not fully understand.
This complex of ideas and understanding came together more completely when I attended several of the residential Monroe Institute Programs, which I highly recommend. It was during the second program, Lifeline, where we do Retrievals, and then the Starlines Programs, where we venture about the Multiverse that I found a better, though not complete, understanding of the "group focus". The strange thing was, I still had limited visuals of the "gathering places" but I seemed to have better intuitive understanding of what occurred there than the participants around me. It was highly interesting what some people experienced, yet others didn't; me included. Some experiences, I totally received; others, I did not. In the Lifeline exercises, we would meet at the astral version of the TMI Living Room, but I never really had a solid visual of that...still, we would descend to F23 and retrieve some souls. In Starlines, we would gather and board a starship and travel the solar system and later, the Multiverse. I never had much of a visual of that until Starlines 2, when we boarded the starship and I had a vague idea of where our 12 participants were within the ship. That night, not feeling very confident, I proposed a quiz- write down on a piece of paper where everyone 'intuited' they were on a 12 o'clock dial...
Surprisingly to me, my map was the most accurate and agreed upon...it wasn't perfect but everyone agreed it was the most accurate. I was absolutely surprised because my visual sense of the scene felt like 20% at best. There was also some multi-person interaction that occurred that totally verified the situation for me. My take-away was that so much of our understanding is also coming through on subconscious, energetic levels...and to recognize that and not deny it.
My point in all this is that- A visit to The Halls of Aventi, Astral Pulse Island, Bee's Barbecue, my group's Retrievals or Starlines adventures...all those experiences are available. It likely depends on a person's individual ability to focus and probably the remaining energy sustaining the destination. If you want better experiences, then put in the work to improve them.
