My question is, is there any way to have the benefits of both and minimize the negative aspects of each? Why does it have to be either/or? I think that might even be part of what the human ‘experiement’ is about — to make our interconnectivity largely unconscious but accessible by certain means, while the emphasis is more on individualized consciousness, with all the potential for creativity, diversity and innovation that opens up. But to really succeed in the experiment I, personally, would be aiming at a hell of a lot better integration of both.

I’m sure the greater ‘force’ - the centralized God or intelligence that we are all connected to, and connected to each other through, is receiving the feedback from all of our individual discoveries and creations, but the abaility for us each as individuals to then be able to tune into that in turn, and take what we learn back with us to the individual level, think how much more quickly we could learn and evolve on all levels if we could all benefit, not only as a whole, but each as individuals, from all other individuals, and the whole. Wow, long sentence, sorry.
The ideal I’d think would be to have a good back and forth feedback thing going, instead of almost everyone being cut off from the source and the collective bank of knowledge, and continuing to struggle and make the same mistakes over and over again until they die. But maybe that’s the ‘next step’ in evolution? One can hope.

Well, Edgar Cayce and many other psychics, etc would say that we are all tied together through the Akashic Records. EMF Balancing would say it’s a grid and we are all connected to that. Psychology, especially Jung, would call it the collective unconscious. Asian religions refer to it as chi, life force, which we can all tap into depending upon the modality in use (which by the way is how George Lucas found his inspiration for the Force).

I think western religions, such as Catholicism and other forms of Christianity are not really big on recognizing how we are connected to one another but that is changing.

if you are uncomfortable with people (the government…) knowing your activities then don`t fill out a tax return. we are already caught in the feudal technocracy. relax and enjoy the toys. just be glad we don`t live in china or some of these other tyrannies where people are tortured and killed for fun.

This ties in with hierachal vs. “rhizomic” models of power–check out Jeff Vail’s Theory of Power for more on this. I’ve only looked at his blog, not read the book which he has on PDF. We could tie it into series and parallel circuits, and neural pathways, too.
