Fascinating post. As a highly intuitive soul, I'm a big believer in intuitive wisdom and, most especially, in the positive change that can be brought forth in the world by positive, mutual, shared intuitive focus. We must be the change we want for the world and intensively visualize the good we wish to realize in the world.

Another web site that offers a scientific angle to the consideration of collective consciousness is the site for the Global Consciousness Project at https://noosphere.princeton.edu/. It’s worth investigating what the 50 random event generators reflected just before and throughout the next couple of days surrounding September 11, 2001. The director, Roger Nelson, is conservative in his language. Even with such a dramatic example, it’s clear – at least in the public sense – that these are scientists shaking their heads and coming to no hasty conclusions. What is especially attention-getting, for them and for us, is that the signals indicate collective shock and alarm just before the happenings. As Mr. Nelson says, “We confront a still deeper mystery.” Past, present, and future are occurring in the eternal now, according to the ancients. This could explain the signals received before the event registered on the physical plane, and many other occurrences of precognition.

Investigating the nature of consciousness from a different aspect, there is a set of three small books with messages from unidentified sources with the titles Handbook for the New Paradigm, Embracing the Rainbow, and Becoming. It is clearly stated in the beginning of each that these may be freely quoted as long as the text remains unchanged. Here, then, are offered small portions for consideration:

“All that is manifest in all forms is thought into being from pure potentiality and is interactive within itself; this is a natural process. In its simplest explanation, each human is a thought that thinks and therefore is self-aware. As above, so it is below. The entire galaxy, and more, is thought that thinks and is self-aware.” (Embracing the Rainbow, p. 12) “It is appropriate to note here again that there is just ‘one human race’ regardless of its diversity of appearance. All experience the ‘life force’ identically. Only the outside appearances are different. These differences have been exploited along with cultural and religious variations to promote separation. All bodily, cultural and religious differences are responsibilities to learn of human unity within diversity. There is no advancement to higher dimensions until that truth is experienced into wisdom.” (Becoming, p. 174. [These books can be obtained by calling Global Insights at 800-729-4131.])

There is an inspiring approach available to assist us in developing insight about our true nature in the work of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche who left his body on February 15, 1996. What follows are samples from Volume II of his collected talks during the last two years of his life, As It Is (Rangjung Yeshe Publications, Kathmandu, Nepal. [Note that at their web site, https://www.rangjung.com we are told “The name Rangjung Yeshe means self-existing wakefulness, the natural wisdom that is the spiritual potential innate in everyone”]). This excerpt samples some of the finest of teachings which bring the essence of ancient wisdom into modern focus:

COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS:
The Journey IS the Destination

Daniel J. Benor, MD

We are all woven together in a single garment of destiny.

-- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


Carl Jung originated the term collective unconscious, after observing that there were concurrences in imagery appearing in his dreams and those of patients. The dreams included universal archetypal images of people, places, animals and story lines that very often related to mythic characters and stories in oral and written traditions from around the world. Pointing to a truly collective consciousness was the fact that the myths were not restricted to the country, culture or ethnic origins of the dreamer. In many cases, the meaning of the dream imagery was in no way apparent to the dreamer, but when Jung interpreted the imagery to the dreamer there was immediate recognition of its relevance to the person's inner world and a facilitation of progress in therapy,

I vividly recall the case of a professor who had had a sudden vision and thought he was insane. He came to see me in a state of complete panic. I simply took a 400-year-old book from the shelf and showed him an old woodcut depicting his very vision. "There's no reason for you to believe that you're insane," I said to him. "They knew about your vision 400 years ago." Whereupon he sat down entirely deflated, but once more normal.

-- Carl Jung (1964, p. 69)

Jung suggested that the information and imagery common to diverse individuals, both in the present and across vast periods of time, related to a shared, collective unconscious.

While Jung is probably the most familiar modern explorer of collective consciousness, this is a concept that has been discussed through many hundreds of years, as in Plato's "Forms," St. Augustine's "Ideas of God" and the Vedic tradition's "undifferentiated pure consciousness" that manifests into individual awareness (Orme-Johnson).

Explaining Collective Consciousness is a Challenge

To anyone in Western society who has not experienced or read about this, the concept of collective consciousness must seem odd, at the least. How could someone share imagery in her dreams with another person? How could there be images that were recorded in classical Greek and Roman mythology, as well as in mythologies of other diverse cultures spanning many millennia, which appeared in the dreams of people today who had never previously heard or read of these myths?

Extrasensory Perception and Parapsychology (PSI) Research

It is not uncommon for a person to know what someone else is thinking and feeling. This occurs more often between people who have a meaningful relationship, and can happen when they are miles apart and not connected by ordinary means of communication.

The most common of these are psi perceptions of a family member in distress or danger. Numerous reports detail how a mother, other relative or friend had an inner intuitive awareness when someone close to them was endangered, had an accident or died. The closeness of the people involved suggests that intuitive links may be formed between people who feel strongly about each other.

More difficult to explain are apparently random psi perceptions between strangers who have no apparent relationship.

I'm often conflicted with the same issues of wanting to be aware of what's going on in the world and prepared for the future, but not wanting to contribute the manifestation of negative energy, thus negative events. Are people using their psychic dreaming ability to tap into what already is going to happen, or are they collectively creating it?
The chicken or the egg?

I've never believed the future is set in stone and that there is some event in the near future that is inescapable. If people start focusing now on all of the negative intuitions they have, wouldn't that solidify the negative/cataclysmic future event?
