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
