Collective Unconscious
Can our mind be a key to the physical world? Would you be able to change the outcome of physical objects? In fact yes, to a degree. The exception to that rule is that you aren’t the only mind. There isn’t just your will. There is everyone, so it results in a consensus. We create…

Creatures of Myth
It’s often said of past cultures and their practices that we are more enlightened than they were, but I offer that we aren’t any more enlightened. We’re just further down the road. Many of our modern creeds, value systems, and even world views are actually of very old origin. One such practice (and its actual…

Our Minds
I am dealing specifically with the mind, and not specific spiritual values. We can’t make technologies and leave our minds unaltered, but we have ignored or even countered the natural patterns of the mind. We make machines that generate levels of force our minds can’t even track, like the speeds of automobiles. What has been…

Modern Magic
I see Carl Jung as having been an excellent scientist, a definite peer to Einstein. Though their focuses were different, their understanding of the minds role in the world was the same. Basically, they were modern wizards, and they weren’t motivated by proving their faith in the materialistic world. They didn’t even have the motivation…

Sensory Impression
What is your present familiarity with collective memory? Mostly genetic. Stuff we’re “programmed” to do through DNA. A notion of connection via the astral. What is it to perceive something? Usually through the senses. To have sensory awareness of an object. It has been established even in mainstream labs that what we perceive is more…

Reconstructed Neural Patterns
What is memory? Memory seems to be recalling experiences from your brain. They have found in experiments that when you imagine something you have never experienced, and when you recall something you once did experience, you use the same systems in your brain. So imagination employs memory. Indeed it does. The predominant theory about memory…

Substrate of Collective Memory
So, everything dreams. Everything dreams and research shows that the biggest portion of our genetic transformation takes place at night. Everything dreams and the dreaming process follows the same rules of organic chemistry and physics. Long term memories are formed, old memories are weighed and their dominance adjusted in the connectome or just preserved. The…

Memory Management
Let’s move on to the informational then, perhaps starting with the most obvious and visceral concern, the dead. They have discovered in neuroscience that parts of our brain learn to recognize, mimic and predict the behaviour of those close to us, those we know well. This usually has no mind bending impact until the known…

Spirit Facet
Beyond the dead, and the imprint they leave on collective memory, we have what could be called the spirits. What would later be called the gods. Every trend in human behaviour, every trend in animal behaviour, in living behaviour in any form, existed before those organisms themselves emerged. The reason you are capable of feeling…

Fringe Zone of Collective Memory
Perhaps the fringe zone of the collective memory… There are many small subdomains each showing its own character and paradigm of traits, but out on the fringe you have the noise zone. According to Jung the universal concept of hell was the manifestation of everything human cultures found disturbing and persistent and none the less…

Acceptance is Necessary
As for the substantial reality of all this, everything that you experience is grounded in this body of information. Everything that you had the potential to experience, everything that “manufactured” your ability to experience this world, is also grounded in this information. You are incapable of making up anything alien to it. You literally cannot…
Category: Collective
The current influence of ancient spiritual/religious practices on the human collective “psychic” atmosphere, and it’s impact on the universal field of consciousness. I’m usually more tightly focused on topics, but this will perhaps be enjoyable anyway. Our culture used to have a shared vision of life, tightly focused, but today that focus is on auto-pilot. Ever feel like you have a relationship with your computer or your car? There is a very real thing going on there. We influence what we observe.
“Punishment is now unfashionable… because it creates moral distinctions among men, which, to the democratic mind, are odious. We prefer a meaningless collective guilt to a meaningful individual responsibility.” Thomas S. Szasz (Hungarian psychiatrist and Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus at State University of New York Health Science Center in Syracuse, b.1920)
“Epics typically appeal to the collective unconscious. They are brands, deeply entrenched in the mind and such is their recall that the first week’s turnout is nearly assured.” Rajeev Sharma
