The collective consciousness is the group mind of humanity. Every individual has their own mind, their own consciousness, along with their faults and great qualities. Consciousness is what a person is. Every human mind on earth is part of the collective consciousness which numbers over six billion people. These six billion people, and their minds, make up what is called the collective consciousness of humanity.



The Collective Consciousness is a Massive Information Field

The collective consciousness, being energy and information of a non visible type, includes the spirituality, good and bad habits, the personal development and shadow side of people. It even includes group karma. Our actions, positive and negative, contribute to this massive pool of consciousness for better or worse. The collective consciousness makes up our quality of life. We can improve the quality of our life, and our standard of living, by improving our collective consciousness.

I am a huge fan of meditation, reiki, personal development, and whatever else is empowering for you because it works on two levels. The first is you develop more of your inner power and gifts. Secondly your personal empowerment contributes greatly to the mass consciousness of the planet. This is the collective consciousness I have mentioned. The collective consciousness determines how much war and peace , how high the standard of living or economic depression, we all experience.



The Collective Consciousness Can Expand or Limit Us

OUR PLANETARY EXPERIENCE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS. It is a great idea if we keep developing our personal power and inner gifts. This contributes to the well being of ourselves, our family and friends, and the collective human consciousness.

Take the recent global economic crisis. Here we have an example of the collective consciousness working itself out. It is a good example because everyone around the world, for the most part, is influenced by it. It also has a deeper esoteric meaning. What happens in one part of the world touches every other part. In reality there is no separation, us against them attitude, and the me first before everyone else. The global economic crisis is a message sent to the world. Hard attitudes give us hard world events. In every global event there is a deeper, metaphysical message, but most people ignore it or are unaware of it.

I have some information conducted by the Maharishi Transcendental Meditation group. It is fascinating information on meditation and its influence on the collective consciousness. They took a group of meditation experts and sent them to a major city in the United States for a number of weeks. The meditators followed the MAHARISHI MEDITATION PROGRAM. In this study they measured increased stock market indices, decreased traffic fatalities, and reduced crime. It is an awesome account on the beneficial influence of meditation on the wider environment. If you uplift the global consciousness for the positive only positive energy comes from it and we experience this in our immediate environment. Click here to see what meditation techniques I use to impact the Collective Consciousness.

What these long term meditators were doing was changing the collective consciousness in their city with the resulting improvement in standard of living. It is fascinating. Awesome! We can all participate in this ourselves. Personal meditation improves our own consciousness and influences our surrounding environment for the better.



Personal Development Makes the Collective Consciousness Positive

I would like to extend this to other personal development methods in addition to meditation. It is a long list, and I will no doubt leave many unmentioned, and it includes meditation, reiki, yoga, dance, being creative, organic foods, and as I said, this is only a partial list. You get the idea. Every creative act of self empowerment makes the collective consciousness strong and positive. The Celestine Prophecy contains a unique view on Collective Consciousness.

The beautiful thing about this method of personal development is if you are already working on yourself, with meditation for example, you are already improving and adding to the collective consciousness of humanity. Your talents and gifts contribute to our mass consciousness. It is directly, although you may be unaware of it, contributing to the global mind in a positive way. Hey, I respect you for that!
