What is The Collective Consciousness?
Collective consciousness was a term coined by the French sociologist Émile Durkheim (1858–1917) to refer to the shared beliefs and moral attitudes which operate as a unifying force within society.

Life is a Gift and the Only Appropriate Response is Gratefulness
By Louie Schwatzberg
Must See Video - Words Below
Submitted by Filomena Rosati If you do nothing else, but to cultivate gratefulness to the great gift of this unique day. If you learn to respond as it was the first day and the last day, you will have spent this day very well. Begin by opening your eyes and be surprised that you have eyes you can open. That incredible array of colors that is constantly offered to us for pure enjoyment. Look at the sky. We so rarely look at the sky. We so rarely note how different it is from moment to moment with clouds coming and going. We just think of the weather and even with the weather we don't think of the many nuisances of weather. We just think of good weather and bad weather. This day right now is unique weather maybe a kind that will never exactly in that form come again. The formation of clouds in the sky will never be the same as it is right now. Open your eyes. Look at that. Look at the faces of people you meet. Each one has an incredible story behind their face. A story that you could never fully fathom. Not only their own story, but the story of their ancestors. |
           
We all go back so far and in this present moment, on this day, all the people you meet, all that life from generations and from so many places all over the world, flows together and meets you here like life giving water, if you only open your heart and drink. |
Open your heart to the incredible gifts that civilization gives to us. You flip a switch and there is electric light. You turn a facet and there is warm water and cold water and drinkable water. It's a gift that millions and millions in the world will never experience. So these are just a few of an enormous number of gifts to which we can open your heart so I wish you that you will open your heart to all these blessings and let them flow through you ... that everyone whom you will meet on this day will be blessed by you. Just by your eyes, your smile. By your touch. Just by your presence. Let the gratefulness overflow into blessing all around you. Then it will really be a good day. |

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dreams
for the adventure of being alive.It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched
the center of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life's betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your
fingers and toes
without cautioning us to
be careful
be realistic
to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story
you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another
to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand on the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
"Yes."
It doesn't interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after a night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children. It doesn't interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the center of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments. © 1995 by Oriah House, From "Dreams Of Desire"

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

The challenge is to silence the mind.
