Who or what controls the mechanics of the collective unconscious?

Question

People keep asking if there isa god above god, but what about the god above that.
The term god is very vague and might not even be applicable to this question but the concept can overlap.

Also, are we capable of "being" a form of knowledge that keeps it cohesive?

Answer 1

You are asking questions that no one knows the answers to...but many are thinking, and there is so much writing and thinking going on these days on this topic that I was not sure where to start (and how to go about answering without writing another book, so forgive me as I may be skimming too superficially over some things.

Quantuum physics shows that matter and reality have subjective aspects. So too, it has been shown that mind has objective aspects. From an essay:

"Just as matter has its subjective side, as shown through the quantum
measurement process, so, too, mind has an objective side. The human
mind possesses an aspect that goes beyond the purely personal and is
not connected entirely to individual experience. This objective or
collective side appears to lie within the same ground as that of matter
itself. Mind and matter, emerging out of the Unus Mundus, contain the
imprint of their origin, the internal structures and relationships that
could be called variously the archetypes or abstract symmetries.

(More recently, physicist David Bohm has called attention to what he
terms the "implicate order" and the "generative order." These seem to
give a better account, from a quantum theoretical point of view, of how
the various structures of nature emerge out of an underlying ground.
These ideas are presented in detail in David Bohm and David Peat's
book, Science, Order and Creativity.)" This section is quoted from a longer piece you can read here: http://www.fdavidpeat.com/bibliography/essays/text/divine.txt

In this regard, some thinkers see that there is linkage between physics and psychology, a unification of science and religion.

Somehow there is an underlying mechanism that does keep it cohesive, as you inquire, but I wonder if we were all more in tune and had greater understaning, could we not actually access and benefit more from something that is soemhow automatically running in the background without our conscious awareness?

Is it God, us, God flowing through us, us flowing through God and each other, ????

Some also believe that the Holy Spirit works through the realm of the collective unconscious -- often through dreams, symbology and synchonicity.

I'm sorry. What makes you believe there is a 'collective unconscious'. That's a mighty difficult concept to sell. A collective consciousness would make more semantic sense. To suggest that the unconscious could have a collective seems almost counter-intuitive. I like the first answer about death - but it still relies on a super-consciousness (God) to control or manipulate the entire matrix of existence in the ersatz 'afterlife' (I can not express my distaste for the idea of life after life).
With that said, let's assume a collective unconscious. Like the collective conscious it's rules would have to be established within a natural matrix and the behaviours of its inhabitants would evolve as cultural requirements. And now I'm having problems because culture evolution is necessitated by survival demands. Oh goddess, I'm getting stuck in a logic loop! I do like your question, though.

Answer 3

Phenomenal consciousness is closely related to creature consciousness and sentience and the concept of the soul.

Humans (and often other animals, as well) are variously said to possess consciousness, self-awareness, and a mind that contains our sensations, perceptions, dreams, lucid dreams, inner speech and imagination etc. Each of us has a subjective view. There are many debates about the extent to which the mind constructs or experiences the outer world, the passage of time, and free will.

An understanding of necessary preconditions for consciousness in the human brain may allow us to address important ethical questions. For instance, to what extent are non-human animals conscious? At what point in fetal development does consciousness begin? Can machines achieve conscious states? Are todays autonome and intelligent machines already conscious? These issues are of great interest to those concerned with the ethical treatment of other beings, be they animals, fetuses, or, in the future, machines.[citation needed]

Since consciousness is considered a phenomenon, and is up for scientific debate, one's beliefs would determine what that would mean to you.

Answer 4

read Conversations with God corey ... it does mention many Gods and Gods above God
i feel its like an ancient tribe that have became all powerful
and each member of the tribe is assigned a planet or a collection of people to watch over
im still in the theory stage with this , but it makes more sense that there are many Gods .. but A God for us

Answer 5

At a guess, I'd say it's "controlled" just by the act of being...although "control" to me, wouldn't be the right word to use.

Answer 6

whith the christians it is THE BORG thay control them

Answer 7

the dead are sleeping it says and God keeps their memories
