Humans seem to be connected on some unknown level. I’m not sure what to call it and I’m not sure if science has a name for it. But all of humanity seems to be wired together.

I have been in the food production business for over twenty years and I have seen this effect over and over. I’m not speaking about traditional times to eat, breakfast lunch dinner or bar rush. I’m speaking about odd times of day or night, when a food order comes in you can expect 3 or more to follow you could be completely slow or no food orders at all for hours, then out of nowhere, It’s like one person decides they are hungry, and orders food, then others seem to follow suit. I have also noticed that the type of food ordered often follows a pattern. If the first food order is a healthy type of food, like a turkey club with a fruit cup, then the next might be a salmon caesar salad and so on. Or if a order of chicken wings is the first orders you can expect the next order to be toasted ravioli or pizza or chicken quesadilla.

The example above is just a small way we humans seem to be connected; next I will discuss 9/11. While 9/11 was happening and the hours, days and weeks that followed the whole world grieved with us, except for a small part of the world’s population. Then are sorrow turned to anger, and even hate. How where we Really effected, on a worldwide level?

How many times has the whole world been effected by a single event? Where humans able to effect this event, in a positive way or a negative way?

Why is it when some one rips your heart out by ending a relationship, do they still want to be friends even if they have done you wrong? Is this just being nice, or is the pain they cause you also being felt by them?

I think I may have hurt some one, but I don’t know if I have. I don’t know if I had all the information to make a decision, but I made a decision based of the information I had, but I could have been wrong.

If we are connected, you would think I would know this answer. Can emotions cloud this ability, if this ability even exists?

What say you?

Could this be why religion was created, to stop this type of ability from happening? to keep us separated based on belief?

Have you read Fred Alan Wolf's books?
(He's the cartoon Mr. Quantum in the clip ; ))

If you haven't, I think you might like them.

We are connected.


See the global consciousness experiment.

noosphere.princeton.edu...


I think the world is on a threshold. Each human acts like an individual brain cell - a component of a larger mind. A billion more people and the collective IQ of humanity will reach the point that we as a whole will realize that there is nothing to be gained from warfare that you don't lose many times over compared to working together.


I can feel it. Everybody feels something going on in this world. Something we can't quite put our finger on. Something important is happening.


We must stay true to our faith that life is worth living, that the world will be a good place to live, and that humanity can work together. If we don't keep working toward this goal, evil will triumph and no life that remains will be worth living at all.


We have brothers and sisters of all religions, races all over this world. We all want the same things.


A day is coming soon where we will choose not to fight any longer. Our technology is becoming so lethal that on a whim we could destroy the earth. Shall humanity forever become a hostage to the technology we created?


Put down your guns.

Great thread, I see you are familiar with Jung.

A collective unconscious implies that not only all humans are connected, but reality in general. It is sort of like quantum theory.

We all have experiences that lead us to believe there is some sort of inner connection (IF you are paying attention that is). If you are completely unaware of who you are and what life is, maybe its more difficult.

The inner connection is felt as inner knowing for some, others have to experience it first hand to understand it, and still others must 'know' scientifically...Which is much harder to prove.

Jung had an amazing dream that essentially spelled out a collective human unconscious. For clarification, a house is viewed as the psyche in most dreamwork:


He started off in a house similar to his own, modern Swiss architecture. He then walked down the staircase to find himself in a medieval household (stone). He opened up a cellar door to find himself in a romanesque basement. He decided to venture down even further and found himself in a prehistoric cave with paintings on the wall.

He believed this signified past stages of consciousness...And called it 'mental archaeology.'

To find out your own inner connection, perhaps you should meditate. It is a step down the right path.
