Are we connected

                   Hi Maria I want to move this but can't figure it out. It should be near the end


Can you help with that? Maybe even somewhere else entirely. just some thoughts but may be too far out there.

Author’s note: This part contains some theoretical ideas which may seem odd but logically they are sound based upon the work of Karl Jung and others. 

As our Emolvement continues and we begin to have more communication with our Unconscious. At this point,  it is important to recognize an additional concept proposed by Karl Jung: The Collective Unconscious. Dr. Jung was a disciple of Freud who had less emphasis on sexuality and was looking for new answers to explain our behaviors. He theorized that we are all connected to each other by our unconscious minds through the collective unconscious. This might explain those times when we think of others before they call us. Jung also thought that the collective unconscious contained the sum of our human knowledge and experiences. This theory is over one hundred years old and has been accepted by many in Psychiatry. It may be possible to reach that “space” through meditation. This would be the land of ideas and creativity? Can we communicate to each other from there?

On an emotional level we are connected in the very same way, instead of data we receive emotions. We call this empathy, but is there an explanation that Biology or Physics can explain? We will probably find it much like we proved the existence of atoms years after they were theorized. Medicine may find some brain activity that they can measure. Until then ,this is just a theory for you to use like any idea. If it resonates try it. If is it doesn’t then don’t. Remember that your mind builds future thoughts based upon your existing ideas and thoughts, so fill up that information base: it might link up with something from your unconscious or possibly the Human Collective Unconscious and...new ideas.

Could other species have a similar Unconscious minds or even a Collective Unconscious? Instinct would explain some of the behaviors such as herds of animals moving in unison or fish travelling in schools and even flocks of birds. What if it is caused by communication between individuals through their Collective Unconscious minds? Do animals communicate in this way? They are  probably watching each other to determine their synchronous movements, but they are so precise all of the time that one could wonder if telepathy might be involved in some way.

This leads to an even more interesting leap. Does the Universe have a Collective Unconscious as well? Many now are fairly certain that just by doing the math there must be other life out there. If so, our Human Collective unconscious would be a part of that also. Inside of that is your unconscious. When Jung lived Earth was the Universe. Would this phenomenon indicate that we are connected to life outside of our atmosphere in this way; Our Unconscious mind being connected to the Human Collective Unconscious and thereby to the Universal Collective Unconscious? Granted, this is a leap. One day, this connection may be identified in a stronger way. But humans don't seem do as well with unseen things. People fought electricity for this reason. This might also indicate that telepathy may be possible between ourselves. I say this with no evidence except for life experience. We often call someone and they say, "I was just thinking about you". Is it true or were they just being polite? There are other indications of our connection to each other. We are a social species acting as individuals. I am tempted to say that we may make "first contact" in this way, but since we haven't emolved enough to utilize this potential this link to each other. It is more like a fanciful idea. But we are all connected as much as we would like to deny it.
            

Look at ants and their antennae. Whales, dolphins and sharks use  smell and various forms of sonar already. Do they also use telepathy? Like anything new we need to keep our minds and hearts open and keep our ego balanced. Nothing here is certain but I know how Not to do anything and that is not to try. A Greek Philosopher once said, “The best thing a man can do is to sit under a tree and think.” Was he the first person to practice Emolvement? 

Most Interestingly, when we look at herds and flocks, we find their extremely well coordinated movements are cause by what are called Mirror Neurons. These are found in abundance in the species. But, humans have them as well. Obviously, we don't have nearly as many but we have them nonetheles

Regardless,  like visualization,  these ideas may give us some clues as to what we are capable of today and in the future. This is just a theory to be explored. Who knows but is fun to think about, while sitting under a tree
