Collectives take on many forms

Collective influence seeps up from the depths of the unknown regions of one of the greater mysteries of our times. 

THE HUMAN MIND

Influence is likely coming from our unconscious Mind to our conscious Mind without our awareness.

Most people partake in Collectives without realizing they are doing so. Participating feels normal and comfortable. Collectives often take on the illusion of authority.

If you are unwittingly a member, it's likely your friends or family are also part of the group.  

Collective influence will not need spoken words or external communication for the information contained in the Collective to pass from mind to mind.  We see evidence of this with highly organized colonies of ants and bees.

ANTS

 Ants are remarkably organized. Their colonies consist of interconnecting tunnels beneath the ground, complete with rooms for food storage, mating, garbage, nurseries, and even fungus gardens. These rooms require tending with specific jobs that may vary with differing terrain.

These colonies of ants vary in size with the larger ones forming super-colonies. The largest super-colony ever discovered belongs to the Argentina ant. This runs about 3,700 miles along Southern Europe's Mediterranean coast. Its population estimates trillions of ants making it possibly the largest cooperative animal society on earth. These populations consist of millions of queens and billions of workers all working together. 

The ants have specific jobs within the colonies and the jobs will vary with the differing conditions they encounter. Based on our observations they are communicating somehow. 

BEES

Bees live together in well-organized family groups. The colony consists of workers, drones and a queen. Several thousand worker-bees cooperate in nest building, food collecting and rearing the young. Each member has a definite task to perform related to its adult age. This changes dependant on the circumstances and conditions of the environment. As tasks change with age, the individual needs to know the nature of its new job.  Individual bees, workers, drones and queens, cannot survive without the support of the colony. This cannot happen without internal communication. 

The social structure of the colony depends on an effective system of communication. Labor activities among worker bees vary with the needs of the colony. This is significant because it means the individual bee will have changing responsibilities depending on the circumstances, making it impossible for the bee to know its task without communication. 

As the size of the colony increases up to a maximum of about 60,000 workers, so does the efficiency of the colony. This supports the conjecture that the force of a collective is directly proportional to its number of participants.

In North America some long-distance migrants have ranges that extend from the United States and Canada in the summer to Mexico and further south in the winter. Migrating birds can cover thousands of miles in their annual travels, often traveling the same course year after year with little deviation in the path followed. 

First year birds, with no knowledge of the paths, may migrate unescorted to a winter home they have never seen before and return the following spring to the area where they were born. This is particularly significant since these fledglings cannot rely on memory, or an experienced guide for direction. The route information must be coming from somewhere and is likely intuited from Collective influence.     

Some species hatch and live the first part of their lives in fresh water, then migrate to the ocean to spend their adult lives, which may be as short as 6 months or as long as 7 years. When they are ready to lay their eggs they return to the freshwater stream of their origin. Pacific salmon make the round trip only once, but some Atlantic salmon may repeat the cycle several times. 

Migration between fresh and salt water occurs during every season of the year. Pacific salmon may swim hundreds, even thousands, of miles to get back to the stream where they hatched. 

Emperor penguins travel up to a hundred miles to reach their nesting grounds. Penguins living in different locations throughout Antarctica migrate at the same time, and colonies of penguins arrive together to claim their ground. 

  There are two interesting aspects of the Penguins habits. First, separated colonies gather from different areas of the continent at the same time and head for a single breeding ground. The second is the route they take changes over time as the glaciers shift. So for the large groups to be able to navigate changing terrain, and collate efforts, there must be some way information is transmitted. Collective influence satisfies these criteria. 

As the Zeitgeist builds in an era it also inspires individual thoughts. 

Based on observations, further evidence of telepathic influence coming through the mind can be seen by similar ideas surfacing at the same time in separate places with no external communication. 

Designers in different cities often create strikingly similar silhouettes, colors or materials in the same season without direct coordination.

Throughout History there are many cases where the same idea, invention, or discovery appeared in different places at nearly the same time without the people involved knowing about each other.

A few examples:

Calculus. 

1600's Both Isaac Newton in England and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in Germany independently developed Calculus in the late 17th Century. They used different notation and approaches but arrived at essentially the same mathematical tools for describing change and motion. This became one of the most important mathematical breakthroughs in history and led to a long dispute over who got credit.

Evolution - Natural Selection.

1850's Charles Darwin & Alfred Russel Wallace

Both independently conceived the theory of Evolution through Natural Selection. Wallace sent Darwin a manuscript describing the same core idea Darwin was privately developing for years. 

The Telephone.

1876 Alexander Graham Bell & Elisha Gray

Both filed patent paperwork for a telephone design on the same day. Bells paperwork arrived a few hours earlier. 

Some examples:

Films 

1998 Deep Impact and Armageddon

1998 Antz & A Bugs Life

2006 The Prestige & The Illusionist

2013 Olympus Has Fallen & White House Down

Studios arrive at similar concepts independently

In the 1950's researchers studied Japanese macaque monkeys on Koshima Island. One monkey reportedly began washing sweet potatoes before eating them. The habit spread gradually through the troop. Once around 100 monkeys learned the new behavior, monkeys on other islands began doing it too, without interaction from the remote island. 

Collectives are created by collated thought. Thought is put together by Mind. The Mind can take the substance of thought and mold it in any fashion it desires. If Mind can get enough followers to accept its ideas, the thoughts spread internally. Again, the ethereal forces that move the ethereal substance of thoughts are blind to the content of the Collective. 

Collectives take on the illusion of authority. In reality, the contents of our collectives are created by humans attempting to understand our life, where we come from, how we fit in, where we are going. Is there life after death, is there a god, why is the world the way it is. How can a god let bad things happen to good people. 

We know intuitively there is more going on here in this world than meets the eye. We can sense it in our hearts. We know it in our minds. There is something greater. 

The Religious collectives offer external   

comfort to support these feelings. 

But In reality we know very little about our human origins. Or the depths of the mind. Or the lay of the ethereal landscape. Or the authenticity of the religious claims. 

All of our human Collectives are man made. 

Collectives have been around from the beginning of time and will continue to be around for all of time. 

We all participate in Collectives, but we are not all aware we are doing so. Often personal identity is adopted from collective influence. As we participate, we add to the weight and the force of the collective. If the collective is destructive, we add to the darkness in our world.

Collectives built on false information make it difficult for its followers to make wise choices. 

Our human incarnation is short. Our eternal life is not. Every action taken in a lifetime is honing the eternal soul. And the eternal soul determines internal wellbeing.

Negatives ... hate, anger, lead to suffering. Positives ... love, kindness, lead to internal peace for the individual indulging the forces. 

To build a kingdom on earth as if the earth were a heaven, we need to all consciously restructure our collectives away from the negatives, toward the positives ... to lighten the path of the journey for others.

There is nothing to lose and everything to gain for our societies.
