Collective Conscious / Unconscious
Pondering on the concept of the collective unconscious, the collective conscious and personal perception. The links between the three aspects, their interactions and location. Is it human nature that makes us desire the knowledge of the location? or should oneness just be accepted as a concept, just because?
"should oneness just be accepted as a concept, just because?"
ReplyDeleteI would say no. The kind of acceptance you seem to be talking about sounds like resolute passivity in the face of futility. Passivity is of course not passive though. This contradiction is key to the construct of self.
What do you mean by location? Of what?
ReplyDeleteAlso, can you unpack your interpretation of 'oneness' a bit, it's such a loaded word. Can diversity flourish under the umbrella of oneness?
ReplyDeleteIs oneness implied, simply the bag which contains all, or is it a term which promotes exclusivity? Is it a convenient monica of an idealistic mindset, working as a kind of anaesthetic, assuming collective adherence?
Am I overthinking this &/ or not making sense or explaining this very well?
I would enjoy an elaboration upon your questions too please Victoria.
ReplyDeleteAfter some pondering (I ponder on an aspect of oneness on a regular basis, wrangling with its expansiveness). Oneness should not be accepted passively but consciously which makes the act an active process although it is with a sense of being which implies stillness, at least of the 'heart'. Oneness for me is an active part of being that can be missed in our modern society if not consciously acknowledged however, it is always present and we are affected by it even if we are not conscious, then the process would be passive. (if it is a process).
ReplyDeleteDiversity can certainly and does flourish under the umbrella of oneness. For me, oneness is the acceptance and inclusion of all. It the the recognition of connection and circle of all whether within or without. Oneness in terms that I understand is not exclusive, in fact totally the opposite, I also don't feel that it is solely a mindset but a fact about how things works.
By location, I mean either with (our bodies and energy system) or without - further detached although if my concept of oneness is true the without doesn't exist in my view of it.
Referring to my initial statement and relating it to location I am pondering whether personal perception is located in our energy system, Collective unconscious - the joining of energy of others personal perception located in their energy systems and collective consciousness - a collective thought / action or vibration that is consciously created by a group of people to bring balance to the often negative side of collective unconsciousness. I may be over analysing this and need to refer to the concept of 'everywhere, everywhen' to begin to unravel these thoughts.
I am drawing my thoughts on the understanding and musings I have around spirituality (Druidry, shamanic plant and stone people), Buddhist Meditation, Sanskrit Chant & Devotional singing music, The theoty and use of energy psychology i.e. EFT, EMDR & Matrix Re-imprinting and healing energy / systems such a KaiAmea, the 'new age' concept of the God and all that is.
