Understanding The Collective Consciousness – The Nature Of Reality
Now this something I have really struggled with – Understanding The Collective Consciousness. It wasn’t something I really thought about much before until around two years ago. This was after I had an experience taking a very high dose of Ketamine and I felt a kind of detachment from my waking reality.
I really wouldn’t recommend anybody try this. I’m quite certain this could be very dangerous depending on the person. Not to mention its effects on the mental state but what I will say is that it was very strange what happened to me on this day.
It was kind of like I felt as if I was no longer the individual and at this point I was part of something much bigger. It was like I was seeing the world differently through my mind, how it really is, and what it made me think about was what was really happening around me and every single conscious being on this planet.
An Idea I had was that our consciousness – that we EXPERIENCE as Individuals is only a mere fragment of a much larger conscious field.
Like, we are all part of the same hive mind but we are all separated for a deliberate purpose. I thought a bit about why this could be and I came to a few different conclusions. I will surely look at what some of these are throughout this blog post… as I look to (attempt to) answer this question about…
Understanding The Collective Consciousness – The Nature Of Reality
Ok, so strap in your seat belts because this is about to be a bumpy ride!
Could it be that we are all living batteries? Our activity is merely a kind of computer program (or simulation) that is designed to make us work and whilst we are doing this we are unknowingly generating an energetic force that is being used to power a larger entity that we are only just a very small part of.
I thought this could be something to do with it. That we are all much smaller cogs in a bigger wheel. After all, we are hosts ourselves to (it is believed to be) 3.8 Trillion Bacteria Cells. Are they each sentient Individual life forms or are they collectively working together like a kind of Ant Colony, or Bee Hive?
If we think of it like this we need different variations of cells for the human body as a whole to stay healthy. These Include;
Erythrocytes (red blood cells)84.0
Platelets4.9
Bone marrow cells2.5
Vascular endothelial cells2.1
Lymphocytes1.5
Hepatocytes0.8
Neurons and glia0.6
Bronchial endothelial cells0.5
Epidermal cells0.5
Respiratory interstitial cells0.5
Adipocytes (fat cells)0.2
Dermal fibroblasts0.1
Muscle cells
If we think about it like this each are linked by the same purpose to keep the entity that they inhabit alive and healthy.
So how about every human, animal, bird, plant etc. Are we all cells inside of a bigger body like we have inside of us? Are we independent of each other and not connected in any other way – except breathing the same air, or is the same for us as it is for the Bacteria that live inside of us. All connected with a single purpose.
And if this is the case why do we like we have our sentience and Independence that differentiates us if we are operating together with the same single purpose?
Is there a program that runs in every single one of us that works at splintering our larger combined consciousness to take away our awareness of what is really going on? and Is this deliberate – this is the question.
Could it really be that this reality we experience is a simulation that masks another to keep us busy working as batteries (or cells) to create energy for the being that we inhabit?
I thought about Manifestation in this regard and how it is possible to hack our perceived reality. Surely if it is all program and code then it is hackable. Kind of like these words that I’m writing now – if I don’t like them I can change them.
It led me to question “is really any of this living experience real at all?
But today I had a thought about this – “what if this is true – someone else is behind my experience of life but I still am creating parts of it myself?”
I was looking at the HUGE red kite bird flying around the sky and an aeroplane that from my line of vision looked a similar kind of size and I thought how am I creating this on my own?
So, it kind of led me to think something new. That I am creating aspects of the fabric of reality around me but at the same time there is a kind of Information field that is already in place.
I think this would explain how every other living thing on this planet gets to experience the same things and regarding a combined consciousness we are all working together to weave together the tapestry that is our world.
I suppose this PERHAPS is not something everyone will agree on but here is my thoughts on all of this and what it could all mean.
So here goes…
What Is The Common Belief Behind Collective Consciousness – What Others Have To Say?
OK, well I have already kind of said what I think this all is but let’s actually EXPLORE this from the point of view of what is actually said by others.
What Is The Collective Consciousness?
Émile Durkheim (they say) is the founder of this concept;
Collective Consciousness, also known as collective conscience, is the shared set of beliefs, ideas, and moral attitudes that operate as a unifying force within society, ensuring social cohesion and order.
It is a fundamental sociological concept that is explained by how unique individuals can form cohesive groups and societies through shared consciousness.
This shared understanding of societal norms influences an individual’s sense of identity and behaviour.
–Sociologists view collective consciousness as a mechanism that maintains social consensus and order, while conflict theorists often see it as a dominant ideology that serves the interests of powerful groups.
In modern times, the concept has expanded to include solidarity attitudes, memes, and collective experiences during rituals or events.
ONLY PARTIALLY TRUE I THINK.
This just sounds like someone trying to explain this away without sounding mad. Maybe there can be sub groups of collective consciousness but I would say every living thing on this planet is part of a single consciousness.
In fact, if we look the Microcosm and Macrocosm it is more like we are Russian Dolls. Inside of us is a collective consciousness of all the bacteria and cells that live with in us. Then the Planet we live on has a collective consciousness that Includes all of us. The Galaxy that are Planet is in that has its own collective consciousness and who knows how many levels this goes on for.
I also thought after this Ketamine experience about what this program is really for. It is like in the Matrix where Neo is given the choice of the Red and Blue Pill.
The red pill leads to awakening to the harsh truth of reality, and the blue pill is to remain in blissful ignorance within the simulated world of the Matrix.
For me I really gained an appreciation for this simulated world (if this is really what it is) because the thought of detaching myself and becoming part of the larger universal mind collective consciousness it is too much to take in I think.
The reason we are programmed to perceive a narrower band of frequency is I’m sure for this exact reason to stop everyone’s heads from exploding.
Although, it is an Interesting thought when people say about a mass awakening. This is possibly something we are all eventually on a trajectory towards.
We are all part of an ever expanding Collective Consciousness but we operate on partitions kind of like a Hard Drive in a computer with different drives C.) D.) E.) and so on.
I think I’ve really done my best now to explain this all and it hasn’t been any easy subject to write about. Do NOT take Ketamine – I really do not advise it and I don’t want anyone to read this and take it for something bad to happen.
If you really want to experience something like this detachment for reality I would Instead recommend something like an Ayahuasca Retreat with trained professionals that can take you too a safe environment and take care of you – all the there (outside reality) and back.
My experience when I really thought about this was in my Town Centre – I definitely ran the risk of someone calling the police or ambulance not what you want when you are pulling down the walls of the fabric or reality.
I will share a link here some of the best Ayahuasca Retreats if this is something that really Interests you. I am not an affiliate – I may do a blog post like this myself in future but for now this is the top result on Google if you’d like to check it out.
