The physiology of collective consciousness

Abstract

Consciousness involves the internal or organic relationship between social groupings, also known as process. Internal connection between group members is based on the principle of quantum nonlocality or synchronicity. Hierarchies of consciousness have evolved through successive levels of social organization, on the levels of groups of cells, individual organisms, and communities. Thus, all consciousness is collective consciousness. Evolutionary principles of energy utilization indicate that the next level of conscious systems development will be that of collective planetary consciousness. Before this development can occur, the problems of dissociation between individuals must be overcome. This dissociation is brought about by the illusions of separateness and an ego‐centered reality. These illusions are dispelled by perception of collective consciousness or collective self consciousness.
