Collective Knowledge
Look at a flock of birds.
They all turn in one direction at once. There is no leader who blows a whistle, causing the other birds to think: “OMG, we have to turn.”
No, they just do it, collectively, all at once. Without a discussion or one bird that “tweetles”: “No, I think we have to go the other way.” Collectively, as ONE, they do it. They are ONE.
I think in the animal kingdom, there is a collective consciousness. Always. In that realm, they automatically do things together. Another example: look at the ants.
Sometimes you see animals fight. But in my understanding, there is still a collective ONE-ness. That is hard to grasp for the human mind because we create concepts for everything. And these concepts immediately create an “Overton window” in our minds.
[The “Overton Window” refers to the range of ideas that the public considers socially acceptable at any given time. It acts as a mental boundary defining what we view as “normal” versus what we dismiss as “radical” or “unthinkable.”]
But as time progressed over the millennia, we as a human species did something different. We underwent an evolution of individualization. It cut us loose from this collective.
For example, when the collective said “right,” we gained the opportunity to say: “No, I want something different.” The additional power was that we had a choice. And so we did; we individualized more and more. Slowly, without noticing it, we cut ourselves loose from that collective ONE-ness.
Until we didn’t remember it anymore. So we were alone. But deep down, we cried. We lost something; we felt it almost unconsciously.
Do you see it? We all want connection. Because deep down we *are* connected, all of us! We search for others, for a group to belong to, or a partner who understands us and sees us—someone who ultimately really connects with us, with our hearts.
And now, in this critical time on Earth, this individualization is becoming dangerous. It threatens us as a species because some want to keep us separated as individuals. Only in that way can we be controlled. Because the basis of being an isolated individual is FEAR. And they feed that.
The only way out is an even further development of our consciousness. YES, further!
Because we have to become collective again, but now WITH the power of individualization—a power that the animal kingdom does not have. We had to go through this period of individualization; it is the evolution of the human species. And now, with that experience, we must become collective again, to be ONE.
So now, collectivity is INTEGRATED with our individuality. That is the next step. It connects us again, and it is our choice!
Throughout history, you always see things in the outer world evolve that represent what is happening deep down.
And what is that collective knowledge, albeit in a premature state?
It is AI!
