That was refreshing Day.
I couldnt agree more regarding "any" information such as Zeitgeist
changing the group consciousness.
My early experiences were to do with trying to implement my visions
for a 'better' way of living, which always blew up in my face.
I remember being extremely 'empathetic' to the Socratic perspective
after reading Socrates Last Days by Plato. The decades since have
confirmed that synergy I felt.
I now understand that, like Newtonian physics, a 'bunch' of people are
as predictable as a bunch of atoms, even though one atom is random.
Hearing about quantum mechanics confirmed that view, that the only
purpose in recognising the subtleties of the group dynamic, is to
recognise the true nature of the observer. Knowing thyself is a
process of elimination of the connection with the group consciousness.
The sheeple state, I see as a constant reservoir with which
individuals associate, until they individually grow out of it.So many
try to change the nature of the reservoir, to their chagrin.
I now just 'smile inwardly' when I see such reality in action. Been
there, been that (or I thought I was;-)
The understanding of why intelligent people can be so blind to events
such as 9/11 no longer evokes my idealism to elucidate.
Of course, on a practical level, thats why I chose Australia as home.
The best of all worlds, where expressing individualisation doesnt mean
being an outcast, although 'they' dont like their reservoir being
intefered with, the practical implications appeal more to my prefered
way of life.
