The Evolution of a Universal Collective Unconscious to a Unifying Collective Consciousness8/24/2023 In this paper, I will discuss the longstanding philosophical, and scientific attempts to answer the long-standing question: How can we comprehend the underlying origins of nature and existence, and how does the notion of universal consciousness shape our understanding? In other words, this paper will discuss the potential existence of universal, innately shared experiences, forms of knowledge, desires, etc., as well as the various, subjective ways individuals respond to said universal features. The importance of this question lies within the fundamental, natural desire to understand one's existence, as well as its relation to the surrounding world. Further, I will discuss some of the ancient philosophical theories put forth regarding this question. I will then add to these historical beliefs by discussing and bringing forth ideas regarding the existential aspects inherent to this question. With this, I will propose the idea that there is a universal base of existence, however, this base principle is the intermix of experiences between the nonphysical realm of consciousness and the physical, external world.

Change is fascinating. The belief that there is an ability to alter our being beckons questions of fate, brings assumptions about biology, and requires a reconciliation of accountability, free will, and the uncontrollable forces that influence our becoming. Change implies malleability and disassembly. It raises questions about what creates us and what defines us. Is our character, our actions, beliefs, and behaviors tied to a physical body- to an anatomy? Or is it a product of something more? It is likely a combination, but that is a discussion for another day. |
